Doflamingo told the executives of his family about the alliance.
According to the agreement, Baby 5 would stay with Merlin as a long-term resident.
Senor Pink would return to the family after the two-year cooperation period ended.
The executives' reactions varied.
But they weren't fools.
And Baby 5's matter, to put it bluntly, wasn't a big deal. It was just a small matter; if she was given away, she was given away.
After all, she was a mentally ill girl. To put it bluntly, they wouldn't care too much.
The Donquixote Family was Doflamingo's one-man rule, and Merlin wasn't a weakling. So even if some people were dissatisfied, no one would voice it openly to hurt Doflamingo's face.
So, with their tacit consent, this matter was settled just like that.
After they dispersed.
Rosinante took Law to his room. With a snap of his fingers, the sound inside was blocked.
Law wasn't surprised by this; he had discovered it by accident once.
Rosinante was actually an ability user.
But he kept it from the family.
Law hadn't questioned it.
After all, everyone had their own secrets.
"You seem very envious?"
Rosinante sat on the bed in his room, smiling at Law.
"Baby 5 left the family just like that!"
Law said with a depressed look.
Rosinante blinked, then his eyes widened in disbelief. "How is that possible? Doffy wouldn't allow it. She's just being stationed there."
Looking at Rosinante, who seemed not to have figured it out yet, Law felt somewhat helpless. Sometimes this guy was just that stupid, but sometimes, Law didn't know if he was really stupid or just pretending.
But at this moment, a gleam flashed in Rosinante's eyes. He looked at Law and said, "You want to leave too?"
"Too?" Law caught it keenly and looked over sharply.
Rosinante shut up instantly, a flash of panic in his eyes. He quickly looked away. "Just kidding, how could I want to leave?
"I'm Corazon the Second."
After he finished speaking.
Both fell silent instantly.
While the two were silent, on the ship next door, Merlin looked silently at Perona, who was also silent in front of him.
"Hollow hollow! Still no good?" With a dry laugh, Perona felt that one day she might be silenced by Merlin.
On the sofa in his room, Merlin reached out and pinched his forehead. "Continue."
Perona shuddered, helplessness in her eyes. This masochist, it's been months already. If it doesn't work, just forget it!
Why insist on struggling against himself?
"Negative Hollow!"
A white, transparent ghost passed through Merlin's chest. Instantly, a peculiar power acted on Merlin's consciousness.
In this moment, waves of extremely negative emotions surged from the bottom of his heart like a tide. Merlin gritted his teeth tightly. Compared to months ago, the current him could be considered able to withstand it.
In his consciousness, even the face of the visualized Demon God carried some negativity, but soon, the Demon God's face became calm again.
As Merlin visualized, the Demon God figure also became solid.
Merlin knew this meant his mind had been tempered once again.
His mental resistance was also improving.
Seeing Merlin recover completely within ten seconds, Perona felt helpless. From the initial three minutes, to later one minute, although every few seconds faster required several days of adaptation later on.
But now...
She muttered in her heart, Could it be that this guy will become directly immune to this lady's Negative Hollows in the future? How is that possible?
Immediately, steeling her heart, wave after wave of Negative Hollows flew out with weird laughter, dancing around Merlin.
When Perona saw Merlin open his eyes and signal to increase the dosage, Negative Hollows passed through his chest one after another in a queue.
In this moment, the light in Merlin's eyes quickly faded.
In the sea of consciousness.
Like a tide of negative waves carrying weird laughter, it continuously impacted Merlin's consciousness residing in the visualized Demon God.
In this moment.
One side wanted to give up everything, while the other wanted to resist with all its might.
The two opposing mental consciousnesses seemed to want to tear Merlin's consciousness apart.
Unknowingly, calamity black flames ignited on the Demon God's shadow in the sea of consciousness.
Analyzing and resisting this incomprehensible negative emotion from the soul.
Unlike mental fatigue calamities where he still had the subjective consciousness to analyze and understand, negative emotions would make his subjective consciousness give up on analyzing this mysterious power.
And this was the reason why Merlin had been unable to successfully analyze and understand it even after spending so much time.
At this moment, Merlin visualized the Demon God shadow symbolizing himself while resisting this tide-like negativity.
Unknowingly, under this prolonged confrontation, under Merlin's long-suppressed "wild instinct," an anger that could no longer be endured surged from the bottom of his heart. Simultaneously, a fighting spirit rose from Merlin's body.
Outside, Perona, sitting on the sofa opposite Merlin, watched the unyielding fighting spirit rising from Merlin. Her cheeks puffed out involuntarily, and she couldn't help rolling her eyes. "Again? How many times has this been? Every time you get bathed in Negative Hollows for a long time, you become like this.
"Like a schizophrenic."
Watching the Demon God phantom in the black aura faintly rising from Merlin's body through her dazed consciousness, Perona shook her head vigorously, saying dissatisfiedly, "Always scaring me! Sooner or later I'll be scared to death by you. Hmph! You asked for this yourself. Negative Group of Hollows!"
In the next moment, Perona, supported by Merlin's shadow in her body, smiled like a little devil. Dense clusters of Negative Hollows rushed out from her palms, then swarmed into Merlin...
Drilling in and out.
However, there was also some worry in Perona's eyes because she always felt that every time after training like this, the way Merlin looked at her was a bit weird, as if he couldn't wait to pin her to the ground and beat her to death.
She couldn't help but shiver.
The unyielding wild nature in his heart and the fighting intent in the visualized Demon God unknowingly combined quietly amidst this increasingly surging, all-pervasive ocean of negative emotions.
With a boom in his consciousness, Merlin felt his consciousness turn into a point of light and completely merge with the Demon God shadow in his consciousness.
With the integration of Merlin's consciousness, this illusory Demon God shadow quietly solidified and appeared in the sea of consciousness as if real.
In this moment, Merlin's mind seemed to have been sublimated. These negative oceans seemed unable to affect his consciousness anymore. Pitch-black flames ignited from the Demon God's body, colliding with and analyzing this seemingly infinite negative ocean.
Outside, Perona panted, no longer releasing Negative Hollows, fatigue in her eyes. "This should be enough for you to eat your fill, right?"
Black flames burned the soul fluctuations of this strange induced negative emotion in the sea of consciousness. At a certain moment, Merlin suddenly relaxed his resistance, allowing these negative emotions to pour into his Demon God consciousness body.
Like a filter, the influence of this power on his own consciousness was already insignificant. Before long, it naturally dissipated completely.
At this time, in Merlin's sea of consciousness, in front of the now solid-like Demon God consciousness body, the equipment slot appeared.
Specialty column.
[Specialization Level Demon God Soul Intent]: The resonance of wild instinct and fighting intent has jointly forged your Demon God Soul Intent. Tempering spiritual will has expanded from seeking inward to resisting outward. After every hearty outward struggle, as long as your own soul intent does not collapse, your self-spirit's resistance to external interference will be greatly enhanced.
Merlin looked at the Demon God Visualization technique that had transformed into [Demon God Soul Intent], and the "wild instinct" completely integrated into it.
Joy rose in his heart.
Perona's current Negative Hollows will no longer cause any serious impact on me. Moreover, my mental consciousness resistance has become more refined.
An unexpected joy.
Furthermore, before long, perhaps he could analyze the calamity of mental negativity.
Merlin's eyes slowly opened. At this time, Perona, who had taken a deep breath and felt helpless, was stunned because this time Merlin's gaze was peaceful. He didn't show that behavior of gritting his teeth wanting to beat her up but trying his best to endure.
Blinking, Perona whispered playfully, "You don't want to beat me up?"
Hearing this voice that deserved a beating but carried a bit of playfulness, Merlin rolled his eyes at her speechlessly. "You want to get beaten?"
Perona shook her head repeatedly. "No way! I don't have brain disease."
Merlin smiled and stood up. "Try another Negative Hollow on me."
Perona's shoulders slumped, helpless. "You still want more? I'm tired."
"Just once!"
Perona thought for a moment, her eyes rolling. "Promise me a condition?"
"Speak."
"Help me with a minimum-amplitude electrotherapy massage later?"
"Okay."
"Negative Hollow!"
As the ghost passed through his chest, the extreme negative emotion that would have appeared before was now bearable, and it dissipated within a few seconds.
Merlin's eyelids lowered, feeling the fighting spirit gradually surging in his heart at this moment. The line of his lips curved slightly. Raising his eyes to look at Perona, who was obviously tired, he said softly, "Thanks for your hard work!"
Saying this, the shadow covered her body like fluid, and a weak electric current that would only stimulate muscle relaxation appeared.
"Mmh~"
Unable to stop herself from making a cat-like sound, Perona stretched her body comfortably, her eyelids fighting to stay open.
Merlin glanced at her, controlled the shadow to place her on his bed, and then left the room.
While relieving her fatigue through the symbiotic shadow, Merlin sensed himself. Under the enhancement of Demon God Soul Intent, his mental consciousness transformed. The range of Observation Haki increased, and the condensation of Armament Haki also improved.
Sensing the Armament Haki existing in every corner of his body beginning to flow slowly, it accelerated with his will and gathered in his right hand.
A black aura loomed in his hand, the edge of the aura glowing with a cherry-red light. Hardening. In a thought, a cherry-red halo appeared on the edge of the pitch-black palm.
In a thought, this Haki subsided again.
In the living room.
Merlin's arrival attracted the attention of Monet and the others who were sitting there having afternoon tea.
"Finished training with Pepe?"
Monet looked at Merlin curiously. "Your mental state is very good today!"
Merlin smiled. "Is it that obvious?"
"Mmh, there's no emotion in your eyes right now that wants to beat someone up to vent."
Baby 5 laughed mischievously.
Merlin was helpless. At this time, Monet said, "Doflamingo came over just now, said he was looking for you for something.
"I said you were busy, and he said to go find him after you're done."
Merlin smiled. "Then I'll go over now!"
Monet nodded. "Want me to go with you?"
"No need, it's not a dangerous place."
Before long, led by Gladius, Merlin arrived in Doflamingo's room.
Sitting on the sofa, looking at him leisurely and contented in front of him, Merlin asked, "What's up?"
"Need me to release news that we are right here, lure a batch of those bastards over, and then clean them up?"
Merlin's gaze was calm, a smile on his lips. "Sure. When the time comes, we two will sail our ships on the sea, flanking left and right, able to support each other at any time."
"Good, then I'll have someone spread this news right away."
"Good." Merlin nodded. But at this moment, Merlin suddenly smiled. "Do you have any spare black and white surveillance and anti-surveillance Den Den Mushi here?
"I'll trade something with you."
"What thing?" Doflamingo raised an eyebrow lightly, becoming somewhat curious. "These two kinds of Den Den Mushi are rare, but I have them. Whether you want to trade depends on whether your thing is worth it."
Hearing this, Merlin's mouth curled up. Holding his palm flat, a black shadow floated out from his palm. "Who's-Who's shadow contains the body instinct proficient in Rokushiki.
"And over these few months, relying on this shadow, I have become quite proficient in Rokushiki.
"See if you can use it?"
Saying this, he explained the benefits of the shadow entering the body. Doflamingo's mouth curled up unconsciously. "Let me try?"
Stuffing the shadow into his chest.
Doflamingo stood up and jumped in place. With the technical principles of Rokushiki in his mind, and knowing it himself, now driven by this instinctual feeling, he naturally used it.
A moment later, mouth curling up, Doflamingo laughed. "I changed my mind. I'll spread the news in ten days. For these ten days, each of my family executives will use one day to experience and practice Rokushiki.
"I'll give you a hardship fee of 10 million Berries per person, plus prepare two pairs of black and white Den Den Mushi for you."
"Deal!"
Both laughed at the same time.
Immediately, Doflamingo opened the window and went to the shore outside in a flash.
Beginning to familiarize himself with the application of Rokushiki.
Merlin came to the railing to watch his training, eyes calm. They already had Rokushiki techniques, possibly to protect that so-called Vergo undercover agent.
Also to avoid triggering the Marines' sensitive nerves, so they didn't learn and use it widely outside.
But Iron Body, they all had it.
Merlin could see traces of training on them.
And Merlin's offer this time just gave Doflamingo and the others a suitable and reasonable excuse to acquire and use it.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen days passed.
In the waters surrounding Flevance, Merlin steered the ship through a group of reefs.
Three days had passed since Doflamingo released the news, and during these few days, Merlin's intelligence had also been arriving successively.
And those pirates, and the Marine Shichibukai, all began to move.
For a time, this sea area, which had become desolate, became lively again.
However, this liveliness.
Was accompanied by blood and slaughter.
