(ps: As stated before, many readers misunderstood—I ntioned starting a new book, but that doesn't an this one will be dropped. This story will continue and is projected to finish at around 400,000 words. I definitely won't abandon it at less than half progress, though updates may slow down slightly.)
Another half day passed.
On the island, Mio finally took a deep breath, having just completed the cultivation of the last gorilla.
A total of three thousand Kongo Corps mbers now stood proudly before him. Aside from the one nad King Kong, the rest still wore nothing but grass skirts. The sight was sowhat strange, almost tribal in appearance—but the sheer montum and strength they emanated could not be ignored.
Satisfied, Mio nodded and muttered inwardly, "Extract abilities for —all at once."
For all three thousand creatures cultivated, Mio had saved each opportunity to extract a unique ability. Now, all of them would be extracted at once, and Mio's anticipation was at its peak.
As his voice fell, the familiar prompts began to echo one after another.
"Beginning extraction ~ Extraction successful. Congratulations, ability [Huge Strength] and one-tenth of the creature's overall attributes acquired!"
"Beginning extraction ~ Extraction successful. Congratulations, ability [Huge Strength] and one-tenth of the creature's overall attributes acquired!"
"Beginning extraction ~ Extraction successful. Congratulations, ability [Super Speed] and one-tenth of the creature's overall attributes acquired!"
And so on...
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Mio could clearly feel his body changing. His stats were surging at a frightening rate, almost doubling in a short span of ti. Strength, speed, defense—everything rose in perfect balance.
Among the extracted abilities, the most common was 'Huge Strength', which made Mio's physical power soar to terrifying levels.
The entire extraction process completed quickly. Aside from King Kong's unique [Steel Bones], the majority of the gorillas had provided [Huge Strength], a portion had [Super Speed], so gave [Toughness], and a few even granted combat-related powers like [Violent Sword].
When all was done, Mio's aura had changed dramatically. He casually raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist. With what looked like a gentle punch to the ground—
Boom!
The earth shook, and the ground cracked under the sheer force. A web of shattered terrain spread rapidly from the impact.
In the next mont, Mio took a step forward—and instantly arrived at the shore, crossing the forest in a blink. His speed now far exceeded anything from before. This was purely physical—no Devil Fruit, no enhancents—just raw, terrifying might.
"Sir!"
The mont Mio appeared, Lilith and the others noticed and rushed over, relief and joy on their faces. After all, Mio had been deep in the forest for a long ti, and they had grown sowhat concerned.
Mio looked up toward the massive ship docked at the shore. "That... is the ship sent by Judge? And it ca with Doflamingo?"
"Black Crow," ca Doflamingo's voice as he jumped from the imitation of Pluto, landing lightly before Mio. A grin spread across his face as he spoke. "I just ca from Judge's place. To avoid any accidents, I personally escorted this ship. Now I hand it over to you—but I'll be heading to the New World next with the Donquixote Family. I hope I can count on your support when the ti cos. Fufufufu..."
"New World?" Mio raised an eyebrow, then nodded. "What I promised, I will fulfill. But since you're heading there—send the princess of the Tontata Kingdom."
"The princess of the dwarf tribe?" Doflamingo's expression shifted slightly with surprise.
He hadn't expected Mio to know about Princess Mansherry of the Tontata Kingdom. Recently, he'd only just confird that the princess possessed a Devil Fruit—one of imnse auxiliary value, the Heal-Heal Fruit.
Though an auxiliary-type ability, it was arguably one of the best—capable of healing even grave injuries in monts.
"Alright," Doflamingo agreed, nodding thoughtfully. After a pause, he asked carefully, "And... what about the others in the Tontata Kingdom?"
He had to be cautious. The mont he had arrived, he could feel the drastic shift in Mio's strength—stronger, more dangerous. He could tell from his instincts alone that the Black Crow had undergone a shocking evolution.
It was frightening how fast this man was growing—like there was no ceiling, no bottleneck.
Mio gave the matter a mont's thought.
Truthfully, he had no interest in the rest of the Tontata people. They were of little value to him, and their collective strength wasn't particularly impressive.
"No need," he finally said. "Just send Mansherry. That's all."
"As for the New World, it'll take so ti to return. If you arrive before , wait there."
"Got it," Doflamingo nodded again, then promptly turned to leave.
Once his figure had vanished into the distance, Mio turned to Hei Yan and the others.
"There will be a group coming out soon. They're allies—part of a fleet under the Black Crow banner. Bai Feng, prepare arrangents. That massive ship will be theirs from now on."
He then glanced at Lilith. "Also, search the island. There should be so research labs or facilities left behind. Bring whatever experintal materials you find."
"Yes," Bai Feng responded imdiately.
Lilith nodded as well.
Mio, however, turned and headed back toward the depths of the forest.
Though he was eager to leave the island, he couldn't yet. His strength had grown too fast—his control hadn't caught up. Even walking at full power risked shattering the Black Glory.
So before leaving, he had to gain complete mastery over his new attributes.
And so, the ground continued to tremble from deep within the island.
Mio stood alone in the wilderness, throwing punches into the earth. Each blow was deliberate, gradually increasing in strength.
He knew that if he went all-out, he could level the entire island with a single punch. And with the addition of his abilities, the devastation would be far greater.
In terms of raw physical power alone—there might not be anyone alive who could match him now.
Of course, there was one possible exception—Garp.
That man, a monster in his own right, was known for maintaining peak condition regardless of age. As a master of raw power, Garp might still rival him.
But unless Mio saw the full extent of Garp's strength for himself, he could not be sure.
