At the bottom of Venus, a prisoed, which was created by the bination of the powers of Masa's, a's, Perona's, and even Kalifa's.

  With Masa as the core and the ductor, he created a truly inescapable prison, especially those who ate the Devil Fruit as they couldn't do anything in this pce, and even those with a high physical ability would definitely be fused as this prison was located in another dimension.

  Yup, the door of this prison might be located at the bottom of Venus, but this prison was located in a different dimensioed with the knowledge of Masa DxD, who had gaihe teology of creating a virtual space, which was usually used oing Game, and this was also the pce where he kept the four followers of Bckbeard.

  The space was created with a psychedelic setting, which was fusing, creepy, and fearsome as it was created based on the hell of the world of DxD with a slight touch of all Masa.

  Naturally, Jesus Burgess, Van Augur, Doc Q, and Lafittee had been frightened, w what would happen with their lives. If they just passed away quietly, it would be all fine and all, but being in this horror pce, without knowing when they could escape, and were also uo die, made all of them almost go crazy!

  "...how long has it been?"

  "Anyone, please answer me!"

  "I am hurt... please treat me."

  "It's cold... you just kill me..."

  "Neigh..."

  Yet, even so, for four of them, her of them could see the sery within this prison since all they could see was just pitch-bck darkness uhis cramped pbsp;

  Yes, instead of torture, where they were tormented with pain and stayed together, each of them was separated in their own cell, which was so small for their rge bodies, dark, and isoted from anyone.

  Uhis loneliness, where they weren't sure where they would e out, nor had the other betrayed, all of them were on the verge of breaking apart. It was just a day, but all of them uood the horror of the young man, who should be well-versed in psychology.

  The ohat hurt the most wasn't the physical pain, but a pain in the heart as their minds wondered whether they died slowly, painfully, and alone.

  "...." 5x

  This was the toughest event that they had entered in their life!

  Still—

  "Oh, you have woken up?"

  "Ah?" 5x

  All of them were startled and wao say something, but Masa said, "If you talk now, then I will leave, letting you stay here, and you will rot and die slowly, and I will only say it once."

  "...." 5x

  "Good." Masa nodded, feeling satisfied with their reas. "I like to talk with smart people rather than stupid ones, so let me ask you a question to all of you first."

  No one said anything, and they waited for his question. If they had talked carelessly, then made him leave, then would they be kept here till no one is sure how long, having a sloainful death?

  "Have you eaten a Devil Fruit, Burgess?"

  "Ah." Burgess was startled, but he nodded. "I do. My Devil Fruit is Riki Riki no Mi. I increase my strength as much as I wish to be!" He might appear like a musclehead, but he wasn't stupid!

  So, he tried to show his strength, thinking that Masa didn't kill him because Masa wished to make him a follower.

  If so, then why not?

  Anyway, Burgess had seen how strong Masa was, especially when Masa was s.

  Still—

  "What about you, Doc Q?"

  "....."

  Burgess eechless and being ignored, but then he just kept his mouth shut.

  "Ah, I am. I ate a Shiku Shiku no Mi, which made me able to create disease on anyone, and my horse, Stronger, also ate Uma Uma no Mi, Model: Pegasus."

  "Neigh...!"

  Whether it was Doc Q or Strohey tried to appeal to themselves, showing their strength, so Masa would release them, but—

  "What about you, Van Augur?"

  "...." Doc Q and Stronger.

  Was their appeal too low?

  "W-Wait, I am also a doctor! I am a good doctor!"

  However, Masa ignored Doc Q and looked at Van Augur.

  "Ah, I ate a u u no Mi, which allows me to teleport."

  "...why didn't you run away then?"

  u u no Mi, Masa never expected that it had already beeen by Van Augur, which made him speechless, w why he acted like a fused person, but then again, it was good that he could find it.

  "..."

  Somehow, they all couldn't help but look at Van Augur since if he could teleport all of them, then would they be in this situation?

  Augur was helpless, but he said, "...I just ate this Devil Fruit retly. How I use it well? Moreover, you are s."

  Uhe group onists, while the group of vilins was strong, if they wao grow even strohey ime to do it.

  The proof?

  It was easy to tell that none of the followers of Bckbeard were young, and they were all in their mid-20s.

  Or rather, Laffitte was about to hit a 40!

  Yes, even if Bckbeard was a vilin, he was a man, and no matter how old a man became, they could chase after their dream!

  Age wasn't their reason to bee the best of the best!

  Masa had to admit that they were all good men, even if they weren't good people, yet there was no doubt they were all far better than a certain man, who could only gaze toward the East as he had a cold sweat.

  Regardless, Masa looked at the st person and asked, "What about you, Lafitte?"

  "Yes, I also ate a Devil Fruit. My Devil Fruit is—"

  As Masa had firmed that all of them had eaten Devil Fruits, he khat his existence had ged the plot, but it didn't really matter to him.

  If there had been a problem, the war between the Marines and Whitebeard probably wouldn't have happened, as Bckbeard would have died, and Ace wouldn't have been caught.

  Or would Ace be?

  Anyway, it had nothing to do with him since his goal was far further than all of that.

  "First, let me show you this."

  "Hmm?" 5x

  All of them were fused, but then they saw dark smoke and light emerge from Masa's palms, which made all of them dumbfounded.

  The power of darkness and light!

  Masa had two of them!

  Yet, even so, no one voiced their doubts sihey were afraid something might happen.

  "To be ho, I am ied in the Devil Fruit of Doc Q and Van Auger."

  "Fuh...." 3x

  Those words caused Burgess, Lafittee, and Stroo sigh in relief greatly sihey knew well that they wouldn't be targeted by Masa.

  Yet, Doc Q and Van Auger were filled with fear, knowing that they might be killed so their Devil Fruit could be taken out, but when they were about to say something, they realized their mouths couldn't be moved!

  "Still, I am not a devil, so I have been trying to develop a teique that allows me to take a Devil Fruit out of the body of the user without killing them."

  'Really?' 2x

  Whether Doc Q or Van Auger, they were surprised and relieved, but naturally, they were also in doubt.

  All of them had gotten to know Bckbeard, and they followed him because they uood what his goal was, and they also knew what Yami Yami no Mi was capable of, naturally, including taking out the Devil Fruit from the body of the user, but in exge, the user would die.

  "But if I fail, I will try to make your death painless."

  "....." Doc Q and Van Auger.

  At this moment, the two of them had given up sihey khat they could do nothing sihey were weak, and at the same time, they prayed for Masa to be able to succeed!

  Oher hand, Burgess, Lafitte, and Stronger just ehe show sihey knew well that they wouldn't be killed.

  Yet, there was no doubt that all of them were nervous.

  'Ah! I am the first!'

  Doc Q was frightened, but Van Auger sighed in relief since he wasn't the first.

  'Was it because I talk too much?!'

  Yet, Doc Q could do nothing and just saw fear as he saw darkness swallow him, causing all of them who saw this to have their faces as pale as a paper, but—

  Fortunately.

  "Oh, I succeed." Masa smiled when he was able to get the Shiku Shiku no Mi, and at the same time, Doc Q came out but clearly passed out. Still, after he put the Shiku Shiku no Mi on his jacket pocket, he looked at Van Auger, and said, "It's your turn now."

  "...." Van Auger.
