Byrnndi World was a man who had defied the seas and paid the price with decades of imprisonment.
Yet, even here, he still lived. Because he was not just strong—he was smart.
"You can't trust him," Golden Lion scoffed, his chains rattling as he leaned back. His sharp eyes glinted with disdain as he glared at Byrnndi World.
"I say you kill him first, then make your offer. Let him taste death like I did."
Roger, standing nearby, nodded with a chuckle. "Yeah, this guy's trouble. Are you sure about this, Liu Feng?"
Byrnndi World clenched his fists, but he didn't react outwardly. He wasn't stupid. He knew he wasn't in a position to argue. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Liu Feng, ignoring the pirates who wanted him dead.
"You want me to join the Marines?" he asked, voice even. "Fine. But I have one condition—bring back my brother."
Silence followed. Even Golden Lion raised an eyebrow at that.
Liu Feng's expression remained unreadable. Then, a small smile tugged at his lips. "Resurrection, huh?"
Byrnndi World's throat tightened as he watched Liu Feng raise his hand. A swirling black mist began to form, thick and ominous, spreading like ink in water.
Byrnndi's breath hitched. He had seen many terrifying things in his lifetime, but at this moment, Liu Feng's dark hand felt like the embodiment of death itself.
And yet, he couldn't back down.
"Well?" Byrnndi World smirked, hiding his unease. "If you can bring back the dead, then you've got yourself a deal."
Byrnndi World has a very deep relationship with his brother.
When he was in the Ward Pirates before, although his brother was a sickly person and often dragged him down, he never despised him.
After escaping from Impel Down in the Battle of Marineford, he regrouped with the old members of the Ward Pirates and finally met his brother again.
However, during the battle with the Marine Headquarters, the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Straw Hat Boys, his brother was besieged and killed by the Marines in the melee.
"No problem, as long as you keep your promise."
Liu Feng smiled and nodded First of all.
Resurrecting one more person was just a piece of cake.
And if this can make a pirate of Byrnndi World's level come back, then why not do it? Byrnndi World can be called the "world destroyer," and his strength was absolutely unquestionable.
It was just that this guy was too unlucky. Like Golden Lion, he met Luffy in the movie version and was killed by the plot. The protagonist's halo crushed him.
But in fact, this guy's real strength was definitely at least comparable to that of an admiral.
Especially the...abnormal destructive power of the More-More devil fruit, which gives him a heavy cannon. He was simply a living "Pluto."
One shot, one island, no problem.
When Byrnndi World heard Liu Feng's words, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face. He patted his chest heavily with his big hand and laughed: "You can rest assured about this!"
"I don't know what your generation is like, but in our era, if you don't even have this little credibility, what kind of pirates are you!"
Then he actually proudly straightened his chest, his face full of pride.
Liu Feng was helpless when he heard this, and he couldn't say anything.
'It seems like he has his own rules as a pirate, and you're quite proud of them.'
Byrnndi World was indeed arrogant.
Releasing him and letting him join the new navy was undoubtedly a risk, but Liu Feng had no better choice. He could use the system's resurrection to take Byrnndi World's More-More Fruit, or he could use the Dark-Dark Fruit to strip the ability and transfer it to someone else.
But that would be too much trouble.
Not every Devil Fruit was suitable for every person. The More-More Fruit, in particular, required the right user and extensive practice to fully unleash its terrifying potential. Liu Feng had enough confidence in his ability to develop the fruit's power, but he already had too many abilities. Adding another one wouldn't necessarily give him an advantage. If anything, focusing on improving his existing Devil Fruit abilities would yield far greater results.
As for giving the More-More Fruit to someone else, Liu Feng couldn't think of a single person who would be a good match for it.
So, the best option was to let Byrnndi World join.
After all, wasn't his goal to go up against the Navy Headquarters and the World Government?
With that thought, Liu Feng decided not to waste any more time on Byrnndi World. He turned around and shifted his gaze to the other side of the prison.
"How is it, Charlotte Lingling? It seems that you have adapted well to this prison during this period of time."
Lingling clenched the bars of the cage tightly with both hands, and the shocking veins bulged. Her terrifying force even twisted the cage bars into an arc visible to the naked eye.
"Liu Feng!! You damn bastard!!"
"Shouldn't you give my heart back to me!"
She roared with red eyes.
In the battle of Whole Cake Island, she was at a disadvantage in the fight with Kaido, largely because her heart was hollowed out and her physical strength was greatly weakened.
For those who were once on the same ship with Rock, this was a great shame.
After Kaido withdrew from Whole Cake Island, Koshiro sent people to re-imprison the members of their pirate group.
After the first war, all their captured members were also transferred from the headquarters of Whole Cake Island to this new navy headquarters.
Liu Feng smiled, "It seems that you are not in a good mood today."
"You want your heart back, but it's not impossible."
Liu Feng pointed at Byrnndi World. "Like him, become a fighting force for my new navy."
"As for the members of your Charlotte family, I will arrange for them one by one. Even those who have died—I can bring them back."
"I believe that would interest you, right?"
Liu Feng suddenly shifted his gaze to another prison cell.
"Katakuri."
From the darkness, a strange red light flickered.
A towering figure emerged from the damp fog.
Charlotte Katakuri.
