Longevity.
It was sothing everyone desired.
The advantage that long-lived beings like Thor had over short-lived humans was obvious.
They had ample ti to learn, to grow, and to fight.
But for short-lived species, ti was always limited.
If the Ancient One had possessed regeneration—would she have needed to draw power from Dormammu's Dark Dinsion?
Obviously not.
And if she could have lived for thousands of years like Thor,
Earth might have beco another Asgard.
Qin Xiao had personally witnessed the changes after the Ancient One obtained the Age-Age Fruit.
And now—he had gained Sabretooth's regeneration.
His lifespan would far exceed that of ordinary people.
This was what he truly wanted.
If he eventually obtained imnse power,
only to face the problem of dying from old age—he wasn't even sure whether he would end up like Kaecilius,
seeking out Dormammu for power.
Drawing on dark energy,
just to continue existing like the Ancient One once did.
But Qin Xiao couldn't guarantee that he could resist Dormammu's temptation the way the Ancient One had.
Now, with regeneration,
he at least had a lifespan of two to three hundred years.
That gave him far more ti—to steady his mindset,
and to search for other ways to extend his life.
Since Sabretooth had granted him regeneration through feedback—what if multiple regeneration abilities were stacked together?
In theory, they should beco even stronger.
Then—if he matched a Devil Fruit with Wolverine,
could he obtain regeneration from him as well?
And what about Deadpool?
There were quite a few individuals with healing factors.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiao began forming a rough plan for his next steps.
As for the rapid healing aspect of regeneration—he didn't value it as much.
After all, he already possessed the Swamp-Swamp Fruit, a Logia-type ability.
This gave him immunity to physical attacks.
In other words, it was already difficult for anyone to harm him in the first place.
If he didn't get injured,
then rapid recovery was almost aningless.
However—when the Karma Fruit's ability fed back into his body,
a bold idea erged in his mind.
If, when facing non-lethal damage, he chose not to transform into his swamp form—and instead tanked the attack with his real body—then the damage would trigger the Karma Fruit's effect.
That ant—his body would grow larger!
And with a larger body, what would happen if he used the Bomb-Bomb Fruit?
Would the explosions beco more powerful?
Even if the Bomb-Bomb Fruit's power didn't scale with size—
the Swamp-Swamp Fruit certainly would.
A larger body ant he could generate a vastly greater swamp in an instant.
In other words,
even though Qin Xiao was still using the sa Swamp-Swamp Fruit ability as Frank—his usage would be far more terrifying.
With his increased size,
his body would have a much greater chance of "capturing" incoming enemies.
It was like the difference between falling into a small pond—and falling into a massive reservoir.
Even if you could swim,
the larger the body of water,
the harder it would be to reach the shore.
That ant his chances of trapping opponents would increase significantly.
Based on this alone,
even with the sa Swamp-Swamp Fruit—Qin Xiao was now far more dangerous than Frank.
"So Devil Fruit combinations can work like this…"
"I'll need to study more interactions between fruits in the future."
Qin Xiao gained a new understanding.
With his strength greatly increased, he was in an excellent mood.
So he readily agreed to Magneto's request.
Hearing Qin Xiao agree to provide another Devil Fruit for Toad,
Magneto felt slightly reassured.
He had now developed a strong interest in Devil Fruits.
If Sabretooth alone could gain such a massive boost—what if all his subordinates were enhanced the sa way?
At this point, he had completely forgotten his earlier disdain for Devil Fruits.
As expected—nothing escapes the power of "it slls amazing once you try it."
"Next, I'll have Sabretooth carry out a task. If you're interested, you can stay and observe."
Magneto decided to keep Qin Xiao here.
And the task he had in mind—coincidentally bore similarities to creating Devil Fruit users.
Qin Xiao was startled upon hearing this.
It seed Magneto was going to look for Rogue.
"Sure. I'm quite interested in seeing what you're planning."
"It'll also help us understand each other better."
Qin Xiao agreed to stay.
After all, he didn't have anything urgent to deal with at the mont.
"Sabretooth, I have a mission for you."
