"You mean, invite him to be a Shichibukai?"
The curly-haired Five Elders exchanged looks.
As long as Lucifer becomes a Shichibukai, they can monitor his every move.
As long as Lucifer is under their noses, they have no reason to fear that he will slip up.
"But the Shichibukai is full, and there are no seats left."
"Isn't there going to be a vacancy soon?"
"Vegapunk needs experimental subjects, and Bartholomew Kuma can abdicate at any time."
"That's a good idea. I'll inform Sengoku and ask him to send out an invitation."
......
After leaving the capital of Water 7, Lucifer sailed to his next destination: the Devil's Triangle.
On the deck of the Erebus, Lucifer carefully examined the Pluton blueprint notes.
Pluton is a massive battleship with an array of powerful weapons aboard.
Legend has it that Pluton can destroy an island with a single shot!
Lucifer found himself dizzy as he read the specifications. The data and descriptions of these weapons were far too complicated for him, a novice when it came to weaponry, to fully comprehend.
Furthermore, the explanatory text beside the blueprints was written in ancient characters, which only added to Lucifer's confusion.
"It's impossible to construct a Pluton, but these weapon designs can be used as references."
Lucifer never intended to build Pluton. From the very beginning, all he wanted were the weapons themselves.
Even though he couldn't fully understand the designs, he planned to use the power of his "Word-Word Fruit" to regenerate them repeatedly, eventually creating powerful weapons.
For Lucifer, this was just another style of fighting.
Additionally, Pluton was most useful for Baby5.
She is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the ability to transform parts of her body into various weapons at will.
Previously, Baby5's imagination was limited, so she only transformed her body into simple weapons like machetes, pistols, and Gatling guns.
The most powerful weapon she created was nothing more than a human missile.
In Lucifer's opinion, Baby5 hadn't come close to unlocking the full potential of her Devil Fruit powers.
If she could transform the weapons on the Pluton battleship, her power would be terrifying.
At that point, Baby5's combat abilities would increase exponentially!
As long as Baby5 succeeds, she could become the Nether Pirates' powerhouse.
"Baby5, come here."
Lucifer called out.
"Yes, Captain Lucifer, what do you need?"
Baby5 approached him shyly.
"Take a look at these weapon designs and try to see if you can transform into the weapons listed."
Lucifer tore out a few pages from the Pluton blueprints and handed them to Baby5.
"Yes, I'll try, Captain Lucifer."
Baby5 felt the happiness of being needed again. With the weapon designs in hand, her heart was filled with determination.
Lucifer also looked forward to seeing how powerful the weapon fruit could be when combined with Pluton's designs.
Perhaps Lucifer could even build a pirate version of Iron Man with his own hands.
......
A week later, the Nether sailed into the waters of the Devil's Triangle.
Since Moria made this area her home, hundreds of ships had sunk there every month.
Over time, this Devil's Sea became a forbidden zone in the Grand Line's first half.
Many weaklings dared not approach this sea at all.
"Hey, hey, the fog here is too thick; I can't even see the sea."
Cavendish stood at the bow, scanning the horizon.
The Nether was surrounded by a dense fog, and beyond three meters, visibility was almost nonexistent.
This sea area is vast, and if you lose your bearings and drift with the wind, you might end up stuck in this area for decades.
"The eyes can't see, but Observation Haki can perceive it clearly."
"If you're going to complain, just admit you're too weak."
Enel sat atop the mast, eating an apple and laughing loudly.
"Asshole, who do you think is weak? If you've got the guts, come down here and fight me!"
Cavendish stood up, showing his fangs.
After a period of training, Cavendish had awakened both his Armament Haki and Observation Haki, reaching the beginner level and was now able to use them freely.
But unfortunately, Enel's talent was far superior to Cavendish's.
Moreover, Enel's Observation Haki was already incredibly strong, leaving Cavendish far behind.
"The gods don't waste time on mere mortals, hahahaha!"
Enel and Cavendish had fought several times, with Enel winning each battle.
Now, Enel had lost interest in Cavendish.
"Hey, Captain, you said there's a monster in this sea area. When are we going to find it?"
Enel, eager for a challenge, was keen to locate the creature Lucifer had mentioned.
"Just wait. It's all about luck."
The Devil's Triangle is so vast that Lucifer couldn't use Observation Haki to search every inch.
He could only wait for Moria, that lazy recluse, to bring it to him.
Boom!
Suddenly, the Nether made a loud noise, as if it had collided with something.
"Captain, it's a log pose. There's a log pose in the sea."
Baby5 looked beneath the boat.
"Look, isn't this delivered right to our doorstep?"
Lucifer smiled slightly.
"Open the bottle."
"Got it!"
Baby5's finger transformed into a gun barrel, and with a single shot, she hit the bottle.
The bottle exploded, and a firework shot into the sky, bursting above.
"Is this a signal? Has our position been exposed?"
Cavendish looked at the fireworks above and asked.
