"Do you surrender?"

  In just a moment, El cpped his hands together as he stood over the bloodied figure lying on the ground.

  The creature, now reverted to its on ant form, remained formidable at half a meter ih—much rger than ordinary on ants. What stood out even more was the ued transformation of its blood. It had turned crimson red, likely due to the influence of the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit it had ed.

  Thanks to his heightened Observation Haki, El could sehe creature’s newfound ability to unicate like a human. Unlike most newly created hybrids, it didn’t o start from scratch when learning human nguage.

  "I... I surrender!" The ant king curled up, trembling, and spoke in human words.

  "From today onward, you will be called Quinn. Got it?" El said coldly.

  "Yes!!" the ant king replied weakly, nodding with surprising human-like obedience.

  "Mama-mama-mama, what an eye-opener..."

  Linlin walked over, curiously examining the newly named Ant King Quinn. With great i, she remarked, "I didn’t expect its strength to be this ier transf!"

  "True. That massive boulder—though some of the best-trained giant warriors might have been able to lift it, there’s no way they could have hurled it so effortlessly," said Gerd. Tethys, equally impressed, nodded in agreement.

  Meanwhile, Amatsuki Toki, who had remained silent, appeared utterly stuhe events of the past three to five days had far exceeded her prehension, leaving her numb to the endless stream of impossible sights.

  "Let’s head back."

  El summoned a Homie ao carry the half-dead Quinn back to Atntis for recovery.

  Turning to the others, he said, ", we’ll round up various species from here to establish an ecosystem."

  El sed the area, giving the order for the Homie ao get to work. As for the rgest flying creatures and predators, El would personally hahem.

  …

  Two Days Later

  With Atntis filled to capacity, they set sail from Elbaf.

  Ihan two days, they returo the Totto Land seas, bringing an abundance of resources with them.

  "Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz, El, your isnd is ready!"

  Before them stood a massive new isnd.

  Saul, t and rotund, beamed with pride. "Is it big enough for you?"

  This enormous isnd was the result of days of effort, with Saul using his Stoone Fruit abilities to painstakingly create it from scratch.

  "Thank you, Saul."

  Jumping off Atntis, El nded on the isnd and surveyed it with satisfa.

  "I’ve already scattered the seeds you wanted across the isnd," Saul said, crossing his thick arms. "They’re all giant pnt seeds brought back from Elbaf by Hajrudin. Just use your powers, and they’ll sprout in no time."

  He added, "It even raihis m, so you don’t have to worry about watering them!"

  "Perfect!" El replied with a nod.

  With that, El’s form began to shift.

  His body expanded as he transformed into the massive, awe-inspiring Quetzalcoatl—his Feathered Serpent God form.

  "Roar!"

  A powerful aura swept over the entire isnd as El spread his wings.

  Uhe astonished and speechless gazes of Amatsuki Toki, Tethys, and Quinn, an incredible sight unfolded.

  "Swoosh... swoosh..."

  The scattered seeds began to sprout en masse. Green shoots pushed through the soil, rapidly growing into t trees, fl pnts, and fruit-bearing greenery.

  "Whoosh... whoosh..."

  As the Feathered Serpent God flew over the nd, more and more vegetation sprang to life.

  Ihan a day, the barren isnd—nearly half the size of Cake Isnd—transformed into a lush, verdant forest.

  Massive trees, their opies thick with leaves, now domihe ndscape. Even to giants, these trees were impressively rge.

  At the ter of the isnd stood a moal tree. Its trunk stretched skyward like a colossal pilr pierg the heavens. This tree, grown from the seeds of Elbaf’s World Tree, wasn’t as rge as its legendary progenitor, but it still towered over the isnd at more than 1,000 meters high.

  This uree drew water from deep underground, creating waterfalls that cascaded from its sprawling opy. The streams flowed into interected els Saul had prepared, f rivers and creeks throughout the isnd.

  The sight was nothing short of miraculous, leaving everyone present in awe.

  "This is nothing short of a mirao, a divi!" Amatsuki Toki marveled.

  "Indeed!" Tethys’s eyes sparkled with astonishment as she nodded vigorously.

  Though she knew El’s abilities were extraordinary, witnessing aire barren isnd transform into a lush, thriving forest in such a short time was deeply shog. Her gaze burned with admiration as she looked at El. Such a powerful and charismati—truly irresistible.

  "Boom... Boom..."

  Before long, a massive beehive was dragged onto the isnd by El. Ohe vines were unraveled:

  "Buzz~~~Buzz~~~"

  Swarms of colossal bees flew out, their sheer numbers making everyone’s skin crawl.

  Meanwhile, on the western part of the isnd, a sprawling woodee—led amid vibrant flowers and chirping birds—had beeablished. This estate was Tethys’s new home, built exclusively for her. Her pets and bees from Elbaf had all been relocated and released here by El.

  "Roar... Roar..."

  Soon, a variety of colossal creatures—snakes, is, rodents, and ferocious beasts captured from Elbaf—were unloaded from Atntis and released onto the isnd.

  "For now, we’ll monitor how these creatures adapt to the enviro and adjust the ecosystem if needed," El said calmly, crossing his arms as he addressed Linlin, Gerd, ahys.

  "Mama-mama-mama, I think it’ll be fine," Linlin said with a grin, her sharp teeth glinting. "These creatures are pretty adaptable!"

  "El, Boss—"

  At that moment, a massive Pegornis Bird swooped down from the sky. Moss, having transformed into his human form, nded gracefully on the newly created beast isnd and approached the group.

  With a broad smile, he announced, "We just received news. The Homies we left in Birka might’ve found the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit... Barry is already on his way to firm it!"

  "Oh?" El’s eyebrows rose in surprise before a satisfied smile spread across his face. "That’s excellent news!"

  The timing of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s discovery was nothing short of perfect.

  "It seems it’s destio be ected to our child, Gerd," he said, turning his gaze toward her belly, now clearly nearing delivery.

  "Mama-mama-mama, it does feel like fate!" Linlin ughed cheerfully.

  She instantly uood El’s iions. He po reserve the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit ferd’s unborn child.

  Despite Linlin’s usually petitive nature, she felt no jealousy. After all, El had already entrusted her with the Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Fruit, an ability on par with El’s owzalcoatl Fruit. That top-tier ability was reserved for the child she would have with El.

  In Linlin’s eyes, the child she would bear—created by two natural-born monsters—would undoubtedly be the stro.

  "Hehe, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, huh? That sounds amazing..." Hearing El’s pns for the fruit, Gerd’s crest-shaped eyes lit up with joy. She smiled warmly, feeling truly delighted.

  The Fallen Angel Pirates already possessed several top-tier abilities, and Gerd had long heard from El about the sheer power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Among all Devil Fruits, not just the Logia-types, it was one of the stro.

  Even if their child didn’t i El or Linlin’s monstrous natural talents, the bination of giant race strength, Lunarian abilities, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s unmatched power eheir firstborn’s potential would be awe-inspiring.
