"Sabretooth, wake him up."
Magneto looked at the unconscious Wolverine with calm indifference.
Through his magnetic perception, Wolverine was nothing more than a mass of tal—tal that was incredibly easy to control.
It could be said without exaggeration—Magneto was Wolverine's natural counter.
Right now, what he wanted most was to see this outsider consu a Devil Fruit.
He wanted to see what kind of transformation would occur.
After all, with all that tal in Wolverine's body, he posed no threat to Magneto whatsoever.
Growing impatient, he directly ordered Sabretooth to wake him.
After so effort—and a bit of brute force—Sabretooth finally brought Wolverine back to consciousness.
"Ah!! Die!!"
The mont Wolverine woke up, he lashed out.
His claws shot forward, stabbing straight at Sabretooth.
But suddenly—he froze.
His entire body was immobilized.
He couldn't even retract his claws.
"What the hell is this?!"
Wolverine's voice was filled with shock.
"Your entire body reeks of tal. To , you're just a target.
Sabretooth, step back. Leave the rest to the Devil Envoy."
Magneto waved a hand, signaling Sabretooth to move away.
Sabretooth didn't hesitate and quickly left.
If Wolverine's claws had landed just now,
he would've been dealing with an even larger, enraged version of Sabretooth thanks to the Karma Fruit.
In a way, Magneto had spared Wolverine so suffering.
With a gesture, Magneto manipulated the tal in Wolverine's body,
binding him tightly—and placing him in front of Qin Xiao.
At that mont, Qin Xiao's expression turned slightly dazed.
Because just as Magneto took control of Wolverine,
the system's voice echoed in his mind.
"Ding! Detected that a compatible host is being suppressed. Adjusting Devil Fruit compatibility…"
"Compatible fruits: Chop-Chop Fruit, Heat-Heat Fruit (self-heating), Boil-Boil Fruit (heating objects), lt-lt Fruit, Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Ton-Ton Fruit, Dark-Dark Fruit…"
The rankings had changed!
The Chop-Chop Fruit had risen to the top.
This was the first ti the system had ever adjusted compatibility rankings in real ti.
Previously, the fruits that caused self-damage—which Wolverine could endure thanks to his regeneration—had been ranked highly.
Now, they were pushed to the bottom.
anwhile, the heat-related fruits had risen just below the Chop-Chop Fruit.
Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes.
This was… interesting.
Clearly, the system's matching logic wasn't fixed.
It could change based on circumstances.
That ant—soone who couldn't match before might beco compatible under certain conditions.
And even compatible hosts could have their optimal fruits altered.
What had just changed?
Simple—Magneto had taken control of Wolverine's tal body.
Wolverine was now completely immobilized.
And in response, the system adjusted the rankings.
Which ant—it believed certain fruits would improve Wolverine's survival under Magneto's control.
But why?
A thought surfaced in Qin Xiao's mind.
High-temperature demagnetization.
The three heat-based fruits likely represented this concept.
But even then—would that really negate Magneto's control?
After all, losing magnetism temporarily didn't an it was gone forever.
Still, aside from that explanation,
Qin Xiao couldn't think of another reason.
But then—what about the Chop-Chop Fruit?
That one made even less sense.
It allowed the user to turn their body into blades.
Wouldn't that make Wolverine even more susceptible to Magneto?
Then—a shocking realization struck him.
The Chop-Chop Fruit could turn flesh into blades—but it could also turn blades back into flesh!
If Wolverine ate the Chop-Chop Fruit,
his adamantium skeleton…
might revert into ordinary bones!
Only then could he escape Magneto's control.
Qin Xiao crouched down, looking at Wolverine lying on the ground.
Whether this theory was correct—he would find out soon enough.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Wolverine's temper flared.
Being captured only made him angrier.
He glared at Qin Xiao, demanding answers.
But Qin Xiao ignored the question.
Instead, he asked sothing else—sothing that made Wolverine freeze.
"Logan… do you rember your past?"
"My past?"
"Who are you? You know about my past?"
That question struck straight at Wolverine's core.
For over a decade, he had been searching for answers.
Who was he?
Who turned him into this?
What had he gone through?
"I can help you recover your past."
Qin Xiao looked at him calmly.
"But—there's a condition."
