The Power of Maternal Instinct

  The plan to deceive Shang Ping went very smoothly. The first use of his own Devil Fruit's ability also made Shao Bao (hereinafter referred to as Shao Bao, Shao Bao = Kong Huan) have a clear understanding of his own Devil Fruit.

  Devil Fruits, as far as is known, are divided into three types: Natural System, Superhuman System, and Animal System. Those who have eaten a Devil Fruit are usually referred to as "Ability Users".

  And his Mother's Nest fruit should belong to the Superhuman class, its function is similar to that of another member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the future - Donquixote Doflamingo's Puppet Fruit, which is also a control-type ability that can control others.

  However, what's different is that Donquixote Doflamingo's String-String Fruit can only control people's bodies, with the person being controlled still having a clear mind. His Mother-Mother Fruit, on the other hand, focuses on controlling people's hearts, although it cannot directly manipulate their physical bodies and has much stricter usage conditions than the String-String Fruit, it can make the person being controlled devotedly loyal, never betraying.

  To control an object, developing into a mother nest's sub-body, one must first extract the soul crystal from the depths of the opponent's soul and swallow it whole to digest. The lower the opponent's strength, the easier it is to digest. On the other hand, if the opponent's strength far exceeds that of Shenhao himself, then things might go terribly wrong, and some poor transmigrator would be blown up alive by this terrifying energy-filled soul crystal!

  Fortunately, the young Shunping had not yet reached the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. "The Great Deceiver" Shinbo also had the robust physique of a tiger shark, and more importantly, Shunping was completely open-minded, without any resistant consciousness. So, the result of Shinbo's first use of his mother nest ability was...

  A soul crystal orb the size of a fist, deep blue like the ocean, one of the seven future Shichibukai!

  Wow, with a gulp, Shen Bao swallowed it in one mouthful. Suddenly he felt as if his whole body was soaked in the coldest depths of the ocean, heart-wrenchingly painful.

  Knowing it was a crucial moment, Jinbao gritted his teeth and supported him.

  After a moment, the severe pain suddenly disappeared, and Shenhao only felt that his whole body was as if soaked in warm seawater, feeling indescribably comfortable!

  But the benefits don't stop there.

  His consciousness space was automatically opened, and his spiritual value greatly increased. In the pitch-black consciousness space, that deep blue crystal jade was like a blue star, inlaid in the night sky. Upon closer inspection, there were also faint shadows of Shen Ping appearing and disappearing.

  Secondly, Shen Bao's physical quality has also been greatly improved, with clearer vision, farther hearing, more sensitive smell, and greater strength and agility throughout the body.

  Shen Bao tried ordering Shen Ping, and indeed saw Shen Ping not say a word, very efficiently and neatly went to execute the "holy order" in his heart. I reckon now if he's ordered to die, he'll resolutely carry it out too.

  Thinking of this, Shen Bao couldn't help but sigh and lament: "It seems that every time I subdue an existence stronger than myself, I can upgrade my basic attributes. Such a powerful ability is truly worthy of the name 'Mother Nest Fruit'! Alas, alas, I am indeed a man of great fortune to be able to possess such an extraordinary fruit!"

  He didn't expect that soon after crossing over, he would have a huge surprise, subduing one of the strongest warriors in the future. However, harvest and sowing are never in the same season, and Shao Bao understood that what he needed to do now was to let Shao Ping be free, allowing him to develop freely, lest in the future, because of his own crossing over, he would affect his development, and by then it would be too late to cry.

  Well, it seems like it's time to leave.

  As soon as this idea occurred to him, Shan Bao couldn't sit still!

  His mind wandered again, thinking of the other Seven Warlords of the Sea, the world's greatest swordsman Hawk-Eye Mihawk, the beautiful and cruel Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, the powerful Shadow-Shadow Fruit user Gecko Moria... And also Whitebeard, Red-Haired Shanks and other Yonko pirates, countless Marine admirals, as well as lively young Nami, elegant and noble Robin, super cute Chopper... If he were to subdue them one by one...

  This world is really too wonderful!!!!

  "We have to get out of this haunted place!" Shen Bao made the decision quickly. Then he discovered an embarrassing phenomenon: he had no boat!

  He sank to the bottom of the sea, drifting with the waves for more than half a month, until he was about to hang up, and was discovered by his cousin Shunping, who picked him up on the nearest uninhabited island. Although he is a fishman, he has eaten the devil fruit and can only be considered a pseudo-fishman, so if he wants to leave this small island, he must cut down trees to build a boat.

  "Cut down trees to build a ship? Meow, I've built planes, tanks, and even things like grandmasters, spirit dragons, holy temple warriors, and star-rated aircraft carriers, but those were all just computer games in my past life. As for building an actual ship, the difficulty level is already beyond SSS-level super-high difficulty for me!"

  Shen Bao is clueless about shipbuilding, he asked Shen Ping, this fish-man brother is also a rough and careless fellow. Moreover, where would fish people use ships? To have given birth to such a freak as Shen Bao can be said to be a rare treasure that appears only once in a hundred years.

  In the end, there was no way out, and Shino had to refer to the "small boat" in his mind when Luffy first set sail - a small wooden raft with white sails. As a result, after working for two or three days, several samples were made, but either the vines were not connected firmly, causing the raft to collapse, or the tree species was wrong, and it could actually sink to the bottom of the sea! Not less than five attempts, all ended in miserable failure without exception.

  "Wow, I'm going to cry, I never thought making a small wooden raft would be so hard! " Xīn Bǎo was severely traumatized and his confidence was badly damaged. Perhaps it was because of the difficulties he faced, but suddenly, he slapped his forehead and shouted: "I've been stupid to the extreme, how could I forget that there's such a simple and practical type as a dugout canoe?! They say that when heaven wants to confer great responsibilities on someone, it must first torment him, and then achieve him. I really am the protagonist who has crossed over, and I must adapt to this piggyback mode!"

  This time, he didn't waste his remaining physical strength, but instead cunningly ordered Shen Ping to cut down the largest ancient tree on the island. The resulting dugout canoe was simply a large tree trunk with a big hole dug out of it, roughly made to an extreme degree.

  "But isn't it good enough to hold people?" Shao Bao didn't think much of it, and he proudly got into the big hole. This wooden boat didn't have a rudder, but instead had a rope tied to it, with the future majestic Seven Seas' respected Shao Ping pulling it in the sea, slowly heading towards the nearest commercial island.
