As Masa had devoured the Pika Pika no Mi, naturally, he was sensitive to the light, so when an unnatural red light suddenly happened in the sky, he felt something strange must be happening.

  However, soon, he shook his head sihere was something that was important for him to do, and he could wait for a to return to ask what was happening since he khat she was outside.

  Probably using an Observation of Haki might be better sihat way, Masa could see the outside, but he was too zy, and he didn't feel any danger, so he just tinued with his research, thinking about the possibility of modifying his body into a simir to Bckbeard's body.

  Bckbeard.

  There was no doubt that this was one of the most famous vilins iory of One Piece since, unlike any other human in this world, his body ecial, and he could e two Devil Fruits!

  While no one was sure why it could happen, Masa khat Bckbeard's body was a ce for him to increase the number of Devil Fruits within his body.

  If he modified his body like Bckbeard with the help of other Masas, then it would have been possible for him to devour six Devil Fruits!

  Why?

  Using his unique ability, he could eat three Devil Fruits as there were three Masas, but if he modified his body simir to Bckbeard, then as there were three Masas, it would be possible for him to eat six Devil Fruits!

  By then, it should be possible for him to devour Eo get "Goro no Mi!"

  Even if Masa had eaten the Pika Pika no Mi, he would never give up on dev the "Goro no Mi" sihis Logia-type of Devil Fruit ecial!

  Or rather, Masa from Mahouka wished to get this Devil Fruit the most!

  Yet, Masa from the Mahouka never forced him to get this Devil Fruit since even if the fourth Masa appeared, the Devil Fruit obviously wasn't the Goro no Mi.

  However, now, there is o give up!

  'I get the Goro no Mi!'

  Moreover, it was impossible for him to eat one more, as there was a total of six Devil Fruits that he could devour if this pn was successful.

  Still, the problem was he wasn't sure whether he could meet Bckbeard or not.

  'Let's be patient.'

  Anyway, Bckbeard wouldn't die, so there was no need for Masa to be impatient.

  Moreover, even if Bckbeard succeeded with his pn to eat two Devil Fruits, Masa could use the Pika Pika no Mi to do an X-ray gaze, looking at the details of Bckbeard's body, and then use Life Return (Seimei Keikan), the martial art that allowed him to have perfect trol over every part of his body, including his cells and DNA, to ge his body simir to Bckbeard's in a safe way.

  'But let's be careful.'

  At this moment, Masa khat his focus should be learning all the knowledge possible to raise the possibility of him growing stronger, especially in medie, biology, and other reted problems.

  Still, as he was learning, the door opened so suddenly, and he saw that a appeared to be in a bad mood.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Listen, Masa! Someoried to trick me!" a showed her grief and quickly hugged him tightly, g, showing how sad she was.

  "...what happened?"

  "It was like this."

  Even if the maids entered ahem their food, a started her story in grief as she hugged Masa's back tightly.

  Yet, when Masa heard a's story, his expression became weird.

  The story starts when a goes out to get the neer, but then, when she looks at the sea, she happens to see a barrel floating on the sea. She thought that it was a treasure, or even if it wasn't o was either food or wine, a vintage, which, if she was lucky, she could enjoy with Masa when they had a meal ter.

  However, instead of a treasure or a vintage wine, when she opehe barrel, it was a red fre, which caused a bright red light in the sky.

  "Dammit! Who is that bastard?! Let's teach that guy a lesson! How could this bastard deceive the heart of an i woman like me!"

  "...."

  At that moment, a was pletely ahinking at how her i heart was being deceived, thinking that she o teach the one who made the prank a lesson!

  Regardless, even if the two of them had tens of billions of bellies after they ransacked the entire wealth of the Saobody Archipego, except for nds and buildings, which were impossible to pick up, they took everything that they could.

  Still, for someone who had so much wealth yet still picked up a small barrel, thinking that it was a treasure, there was no doubt that her greed for money had no end, and even if the amount was small, money was money; it was i!

  So, why shouldn't she pick up the barrel?

  Still, while she was a little ashamed of her act, sidering how petty she was due to pig up a barrel on the sea, she thought that Masa would fort her, but strangely enough, he appeared to be in silence, seemingly to be ihought.

  "...did I cause you trouble?"

  Somehow, this was the first thought that came up in her mind. Not only due to Masa's silence, she also started to think that it was weird of her to find a fre that suddenly exploded as soon as she ope. If it was just a normal fre, then it was fihinking that it was something that fell from some ships, but this one exploded brightly as if wishing to mark its location.

  It was as if... as if... this barrel was thrown into the sea deliberately by someone so it could know the location of its prey!

  "It should be fine."

  Strangely enough, Masa was calm after he thought for a moment.

  "Really? Is it going to be fine?" a khat she really had caused him trouble.

  "It is." Masa nodded and said calmly, "With all the trouble that we have gotten into, whether it was the World Noble or Admiral, will there be anything bigger than that?"

  "If you say it that way..."

  If there was a bigger problem than the World Noble or Marines, it would either be targeted by the Four Emperors of the Pirates or the Wover, but sidering their location, which was he World 7 and the Marines Headquarters, she felt that her of those groups would trouble them, if so, then it would be just a small group of criminals, or pirates, which wasn't something that could do anything to Masa.

  Well, the Marines might be dangerous, but would a Marihrow a barrel into the sea that would shoot off a red fre?

  At this moment, a sighed in relief, but even so, she y on Masa's p, feeling relief that he was by her side.

  "By the way, where is the neer?"

  "Oh, here! Look at the headlines!"

  "What's wrong?"

  "Just read! You will be surprised! Or rather, you are amazing!"

  While a kissed his cheek, Masa started to read World Eics, which was the most popur neer in the world. He saw the headlines in this neer, which made him nod.

  WHO?!

  The title was simple, only a single word, but it had so much impact, especially when the news below told about the death of Kizaru, one of the admirals of the Marines.

  Yes, the Marines couldn't hide the fact of Kizaru's death, especially when everyone wished to mourn over his death.

  Kizaru might appear zy, but even so, he was a respectable marine who had many people who worshipped him sihe number of people who followed him, being his fans, or being saved by him wasn't low, so the moment he passed away, it was impossible for a ceremony not to happen.

  At the same time, Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, also made a vow that he would bring down this criminal who had killed Kizaru.

  "No matter who you are, where you are, we, the Marines, will chase you down until your death!"

  Yet, even so, Masa and a snorted when they read this quote sino one knew about Masa's identity, so how could they even catch him?

  More importantly, with the ability of Jake Jake no Mi to turn people into a jacket, which he could wear to disguise himself, was it even possible for someoo know his identity?

  Lastly, who made the trouble first?

  If no one provoked Masa, then would all of this happen?

  "If those World Nobles did..."

  a was still disgusted and hated the World Nobles since if it wasn't because of them, then would they even face this problem?

  Masa rubbed a's head softly and said, "It's fine. We will take all of their wealth iure."

  "Ushishishi!" a ughed happily with her trademark ugh, and her eyes filled with an obsession when she looked at Masa. "You are crazy~! But I like it~! Let's do it~! Or rather, how about you bee an admiral or just turn a World o your jacket so we steal the Wover's treasure? Ah, how about we just steal the Wover itself!"

  At this moment, suddenly, a had an ambition, but of course, their lives were even more important, and she wouldn't do anything that put them in danger.

  heless, Masa felt weird when he heard a's words, but then he shook his head softly and said speechlessly, "Let's do it slowly. My power isn't enough."

  "Yeah, let's take it easy first."

  The two of them had faced many things, so at this moment, it was time for a break, and I waited for him to beuch, much stronger; at least, he should be strong enough to face the Marines.

  However, whewo looked at each other, their expressions became weird.

  "...aren't you strong enough now?"

  "You are right."

  "....."

  At that moment, the two of them realized that Masa was strohan they had imagined.

  heless, as the two had their own fun, the sea was in chaos.
