Chapter 92: Chapter 92 New Crew Candidate, Whitebeard Ii!
The last String-String Fruit and Shishi Fruit were left behind by Lucifer.
If these two Devil Fruits find qualified users, they will soon be able to cultivate powerful combatants.
Although the String-String Fruit may no longer be able to produce a second Doflamingo, its legacy and the existence of Doflamingo still give it significant prestige.
The String-String Fruit, Shishi Fruit, Saber-toothed Tiger Fruit, and Transparent Fruit—Lucifer still has four powerful Devil Fruits in his possession.

"It's not far from the 1 million kill points. It seems that I must hurry and find a stronger target."
Lucifer glanced at his attribute panel and already began selecting his next prey in his mind.
There are countless powerful pirate crews in the New World, and plenty of targets.
As long as Lucifer is willing to take the time, he has no need to worry about accumulating kill points.
The news of Doflamingo's defeat spread quickly across the world. However, the Marine Headquarters has already dealt with Doflamingo, promoting him to Marine Vice Admiral.
Doflamingo was expelled from Shichibukai for selling weapons and controlling a country, with all his powers stripped away.
Under the joint control of the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, this matter was soon confirmed.
Only a few prominent pirates and underground kings in the New World knew that it was actually Lucifer who had defeated Doflamingo.
Because of this, some big pirates and underground kings began to feel fear.
Lucifer's reputation spread worldwide. Pirates feared Lucifer more than the Marines.
His rise to fame was built upon the corpses of countless pirates.
Having just entered the New World and already killed a Shichibukai, who would be next?
"Marine's methods are truly disgusting. Can they really claim to be righteous like this?"
On the deck of the Nether, Cavendish looked at the newspaper in his hand, disgust written across his face.
"Heh heh heh, Marine's usual style is nothing new. I've grown used to it."
Guy chuckled harshly from the side.
As a former Marine scientist, he had seen this type of thing countless times. The World Government has conducted many illegal experiments. When they fail or cause trouble, they conveniently blame the pirates.
"That's right. Sometimes, the Marines do anything to cover up the truth and deceive the world."
Former Marine Rear Admiral Jack clearly knew the Marine's methods well.
"Enough, the Marines are none of our concern. Your priority should be to improve your strength."
"If you don't get stronger fast, you'll be eliminated!"
After speaking, Lucifer rang a bell, and the gravity field immediately doubled in strength.
Enel, Cavendish, Jack, and Guy were all crushed to the deck at the same time.
Especially Guy, who was still unaccustomed to the Nether Pirates' hellish training methods. His consciousness nearly shattered under the crushing gravity.
Seeing their pained expressions and miserable cries, Lucifer felt a sense of satisfaction.
After creating the gravity training environment, Lucifer resumed reading the newspaper.
The situation in the New World was rapidly changing, and it was important to keep up with the intelligence.
If Lucifer wanted to find suitable targets to hunt, he also needed to stay updated from the news.
News of the New World spread quickly, and any little trouble would expose big pirates in the newspapers.
Just like in Lucifer's past life, where a celebrity chewing gum could become a trending topic.
"Baby5, pour me a glass of red wine and prepare a barbecue for 100 people."
"Yes, Captain Lucifer!"
Hearing the order, the untrained Baby5 immediately shyly went to serve Lucifer.
Baby5 was now being trained by Lucifer to become the firepower of the Nether Pirates.
She only needed to get familiar with the weapons on the Pluton battleship and didn't require as intense training as Enel and the others.
When the maid version of Iron Man was fully updated, it would surely shock the entire world.
"Um?"
Lucifer, who was flipping through the newspaper, suddenly stopped as a piece of news caught his attention.
"Whitebeard II destroys Gordon Island, killing a large number of civilians!"
"Finally, some news about this guy."
Lucifer looked at the photo of Whitebeard II in the newspaper and a sinister sneer curled on the corner of his mouth.
Lucifer had originally planned to recruit a few more crew members in the New World, but Guy's appearance had been an unexpected gain.
Whitebeard II, Edward Weibull, was the crew member Lucifer had initially wanted to recruit.
This guy was incredibly powerful. Although it was unclear whether he was truly Whitebeard's son, his monstrous physique was on par with a young Whitebeard.
And he was highly manipulable—once Lucifer dealt with his dwarf mother, Miss Bajin, Weibull would always be obedient.
"Gordon Island is not far from here."
Lucifer glanced at the newspaper's date. The incident had occurred just yesterday.
If he rushed to Gordon Island now, Whitebeard II might still be there.
After closing the newspaper, Lucifer immediately ordered the Erebus to change course.
Under Lucifer's control, the Nether sailed swiftly and soon disappeared into the vast sea.
A day later, at Gordon Island Palace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several loud explosions erupted from the palace, shaking the surrounding area.
Clouds of black smoke rose into the sky, and the air was filled with the sound of destruction.
In the flames, a massive figure, standing nearly 7 meters tall, was swinging a giant naginata.
Every time the blade swung, a powerful shockwave tore through the palace walls.
Nearly a thousand guards had been stationed at the palace, but all of them were now defeated by this monster.
Behind the beast, countless corpses lay in disarray.
This monster was none other than Whitebeard II, Edward Weibull!
"Stop him! Everyone, charge at once! Don't be afraid!"
The leader of the guard army, wielding a huge machete, screamed.
"We are the elite guards of Gordon Kingdom. We have sworn allegiance to His Majesty the King. Today, we dedicate our lives!"
"For His Majesty the King, we will defeat this pirate scum!"
Encouraged by their leader, the remaining guards rallied their courage and charged at Weibull.
The soldiers behind them fired in unison, unleashing a hail of bullets.
But the bullets bounced harmlessly off Weibull's body, leaving only faint white marks.
"It hurts! You bastards!" Weibull yelled, his simple mind unable to process pain without reacting.
He swung his naginata again, knocking all the soldiers in front of him away.
Those unlucky enough to be hit by the blade were cleaved in half.
The leader of the guards gritted his teeth and charged in himself, only to be cut down by Weibull's blade. Both the leader and his weapon were sliced in half.
With their leader dead, the remaining guards lost all courage and scattered in fear.
"Mom, the enemies are gone! You can come in now!"
Seeing that the enemy had been repelled, Weibull called out to the back.
A short, elderly woman emerged from behind.
She was Weibull's mother, Miss Bajin, who claimed to have been Whitebeard's lover.
"Hahaha! Well done, my son. You're truly the best!" The old woman cackled, her twisted and grotesque face a picture of madness.
But she didn't seem to care at all as she swaggered into the palace with Weibull.
The Kingdom of Gordon was a small, insignificant country, not a member of the World Government, so its military strength was weak.
When Weibull attacked, the king, queen, and prince had already fled, leaving only an empty palace and castle.
People can run, but they can't take the treasure with them.
Miss Bajin was domineering and greedy, and she loved money more than anything.
She had instructed Weibull to destroy a small town on Gordon Island the day before, looting treasure, but she was still unsatisfied and had him plunder the palace the next day.
To outsiders, Miss Bajin seemed an unlikely mother for a giant like Weibull.
Many believed that Weibull could not possibly be her son, and that Bajin was simply using him as a tool to plunder treasure.
