With a single sentence, Charles once again pushed Qin Xiao into the spotlight.
But Qin Xiao didn't care in the slightest.
"Unfortunately, I don't accept remote transactions."
One line—that was his reply.
Charles showed no displeasure.
"Even if I don't know what you're planning, I will stop you."
With that, Charles cut off his connection to Sabretooth.
Sabretooth finally regained control of himself—though he clearly had no idea what had just happened.
"Eric, did Charles learn about your plan?"
Qin Xiao calmly looked at Magneto.
"No. That's impossible. Sabretooth doesn't know my full plan.
At most, Charles only knows that my target is Rogue."
Magneto denied it outright.
He understood Sabretooth's mind—and he also knew that without his helt, Charles could easily locate him through Cerebro.
There was no way he would reveal his full plan to anyone.
"Doesn't matter. You have your own plans.
You can take Rogue—it's none of my concern.
But Wolverine… he's interesting.
Leave him to . I want to see if I can make a deal with him."
Qin Xiao made his request.
This was sothing he and Magneto had already been discussing.
Magneto could tell that Qin Xiao's interest in Wolverine
was the kind of excitent that ca from finding a perfect Devil Fruit match.
As for Wolverine—Magneto had no interest in him at all.
With all that tal in his body, Magneto could sense him from afar.
Besides, he was curious—what kind of Devil Fruit would Wolverine receive?
The more people who consud Devil Fruits,
the more data he could observe.
That would help him determine how to deal with Qin Xiao in the future.
As for Charles' attempt to drive a wedge between them—Magneto didn't care.
Because he didn't trust Qin Xiao to begin with.
Their alliance was nothing more than a transaction.
"Fine. Consider it a bonus in our deal.
Just tell Sabretooth how to improve his fruit ability."
Magneto agreed imdiately.
"Deal. I'll go et Wolverine and see if we can reach an agreent.
If it works, great. If not, no loss."
"I'll co with you."
Magneto had no intention of missing the chance
to witness another Devil Fruit user being created.
The group headed to where Wolverine was being held.
Qin Xiao knew Wolverine's personality well.
At first, he kept everyone at arm's length.
But once he accepted soone,
he would be fiercely loyal.
Like Rogue—whom he had just t.
After being attacked by Sabretooth, Wolverine still hadn't regained consciousness.
Qin Xiao stepped closer, his expression confirming his expectations.
"Ding! Detected a compatible host for a Devil Fruit."
"Compatible fruits: Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Ton-Ton Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit, Chop-Chop Fruit, lt-lt Fruit, Heat-Heat Fruit (Atsu Atsu no Mi—self-heating), Boil-Boil Fruit (Netsu Netsu no Mi—heating objects), …"
(To distinguish, the last two are noted.)
Wolverine could match with an astonishing seven Devil Fruits!
Qin Xiao even suspected—if Sabretooth hadn't taken the Karma Fruit,
Wolverine might have been compatible with that one as well.
This was exactly why Qin Xiao wanted to make a deal with him.
No matter which fruit Wolverine chose,
Qin Xiao would benefit.
More importantly—he wanted to obtain another source of regeneration from him.
There was no way he'd pass up this opportunity.
Even if he had to take a loss in the deal—it would be worth it.
Qin Xiao quickly analyzed the options.
The Tremor-Tremor, Ton-Ton, Dark-Dark, and Chop-Chop Fruits—
were likely compatible for the sa reasons as Sabretooth:
regeneration and close combat.
But this ti,
Wolverine also had three temperature-based fruits.
Looking at them, Qin Xiao realized sothing.
Heat enhancent!
Wolverine's adamantium claws could withstand extre temperatures.
Even these fruits wouldn't lt his skeleton.
But they could heat his body—and his claws.
At that point, his attacks would gain intense thermal effects.
Originally, Sabretooth's attacks were purely physical.
But with these abilities,
they would gain sothing akin to "elental" damage.
One slash—and the wound would already be cauterized… or even burned.
Just like in X-n Origins: Wolverine,
when Deadpool superheated his blades.
That kind of lethality would make Wolverine's tal skeleton even more terrifying.
And with these fruits—Wolverine could heat his own claws at will.
"Sabretooth—wake him up."
