Lan Luo looked at the returning Marco and Ace, and he knew what they were there for. He said, "I know why you two are here. There are several ways to solve your father's problem, but the most suitable one is Marco's ability."
Marco said with a hint of vigilance, "Then what do you want?" As a Pirate, he certainly knew the risks involved in doing this.
"I have no ill intentions. The World Government has already aimed its guns at your Pirate Crew. I want you to have more power to cope. I just want some of Ace's blood, your Phoenix blood, and preferably Whitebeard's blood." Lan Luo also wanted the blood of their strongest members.
"Our father's blood is impossible to give you. You can have ours, but you have to help us cure our father." Marco felt that Lan Luo's words made a lot of sense. They currently didn't have Conqueror's Haki, and if their father fell, they might truly disintegrate in the New World in an instant.
Lan Luo also wanted to get Marco's Phoenix ability and Ace's Mera Mera no Mi ability first, but he couldn't easily concede, saying, "We can cure your father, but the price doesn't match. You are just two squad leaders, and he is the strongest man in the world."
Marco, hearing Lan Luo's words, was also thinking about their objective, but regarding their father's matter, as a son, he couldn't make the decision. He could only say, "I will try to persuade my father about what you said, but I can't guarantee it will be accomplished."
"If you can guard a Devil Fruit for me, I can restore your father to his peak." Lan Luo knew that Thatch was about to get that Devil Fruit, but he didn't want Blackbeard to get that most vicious Devil Fruit.
"What Devil Fruit?" He was also very curious what kind of Devil Fruit would make someone like Lan Luo interested.
"Let me put it this way," Lan Luo said, describing Blackbeard's past. "There's a man with the world's greatest ambition, who has been searching for a Devil Fruit his entire life. So, he joined the world's strongest Pirate Crew because he knew that on this Pirate Crew, he had the greatest chance of getting that Devil Fruit. For decades, he's been hiding his strength and ambition, waiting for an opportunity to obtain that Devil Fruit."
Marco and Ace broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. Marco was the one who spoke, "How do you guarantee what you say is true?"
Lan Luo didn't speak; he just took out a crystal ball, which reflected Thatch plundering a Pirate ship and obtaining a box containing a Devil Fruit from it.
Then, Blackbeard's greedy gaze appeared, followed by his drunken crewmates at a banquet, and Blackbeard murdering Thatch before fleeing the Whitebeard Pirates.
"This is Madam Shyarly's divination ball, and it's 100% accurate! Her recent divination results show that Ace will be captured while pursuing Blackbeard, leading to the entire Whitebeard Pirates mobilizing to rescue Ace from his public execution at Marineford, resulting in a fierce battle. You should have a good idea of the outcome without me even saying it, right?" Lan Luo told a small lie; Shyarly hadn't divined in such detail.
Ace thought that if Thatch was killed, he might indeed disregard his father's advice and pursue Blackbeard. He also knew that if he were captured, his true identity might not remain a secret.
Marco now also believed Lan Luo's words, then said, "Lan Luo, we can believe what you say, but we need time to persuade our father." If they went to persuade him now, they might not even finish speaking before getting a beating from their father.
Whitebeard trusted his family very much and wouldn't believe an outsider over his own sons. However, Marco knew Ace's true identity, and as for Blackbeard, he had a vague feeling that something was off, but after what Lan Luo said, it was very likely true.
"Yes, but you need to pay a deposit. Otherwise, I've provided such important information and received nothing in return. That would be too much of a loss." Lan Luo said with a shrug.
Marco and Ace exchanged glances and both extended their arms. Chopper then stepped forward and drew two more syringes of blood.
Lan Luo threw out two rings and said directly, "If you discover Blackbeard's ambition and obtain that Devil Fruit, you can contact us through the rings, and our deal will be done."
The two took the rings and put them on their hands. Not long after, they both learned how to use them and were having a blast. Lan Luo could only say, "It's getting late, your father might still be waiting for you."
The two only reacted upon hearing this. Ace said to Lan Luo, "Little Brother Lan Luo, I will become stronger next time we meet and challenge you." After he finished speaking, only two distant figures remained.
Lan Luo was also very happy to have obtained their blood. Kuina then spoke, "Lan Luo, can you forge a sword for me now?"
She had been waiting for this sword for too long. Ever since she met Lan Luo, she had heard him talk about the rankings of famous swords in this world, and then heard Lan Luo's disdain for various famous swords, including the sword made by her grandfather, and even the feeling that he didn't even look up to the Supreme Grade Swords.
Lan Luo nodded, opened a Rune wormhole in the air, and led everyone back to the spaceship.
The first thing Lan Luo did upon returning to the spaceship was to take Daji to the forging room. After analyzing the two different types of blood, Lan Luo once again gained the Phoenix ability and the Mera Mera no Mi ability. What shocked Lan Luo the most was the energy of the eternal fire, which could be integrated into both the Mera Mera no Mi and Phoenix Devil Fruit abilities.
When Lan Luo was about to forge the sword, he realized that the spaceship couldn't handle it at all. After obtaining the combination of the Heat-Heat Fruit and Mera Mera no Mi, Lan Luo's Mera Mera no Mi flames turned into colorless flames, but the void seemed to be ignited, and no metal could withstand such heat.
Opening the Mirror Dimension, Lan Luo moved all the sword-forging materials and equipment inside.
Forging the sword was not as simple as imagined. Due to the temperature, Lan Luo tried several times but couldn't find a way. He could only first add the souls of the Hurricane Devil Fruit and Mera Mera no Mi to the uru metal for forging, and then modify it to withstand a high temperature of 10,000 degrees, just like the Soul-Soul Devil Fruit, imbuing the sword with a soul of the same attribute.
Finally solving the problem of fusion temperature, the next step was to add Chakra metal, which was not found in the Pirate World, to the hilt. This would allow the conductivity of Haki to reach the pinnacle of this world, which was analyzed through the power of Enma. The sword guard was engraved with Runes that increase power multipliers, and the blade was also covered with compression Runes, making the sword more explosive. It could stack the abilities of the Mera Mera no Mi and the Hurricane Devil Fruit, then compress them through Runes that increase slashing power. Theoretically, no one in this world could block this sword. It could be said that if the person who obtains this sword does not have the ability of the Heat-Heat Fruit, they will instantly be vaporized.
An Infinity Gem was also embedded in the center of the sword guard's Rune. When the wielder holds this sword, they can possess infinite energy, and a casual strike will be over 10,000 degrees Celsius.
