Chapter 161: Chapter 161
Carl had never thought at first that he could manipulate the next user of the Blood-Blood Fruit at will. It was not until Stussy turned into blood and pounced on him that he suddenly felt a strange connection between him and Stussy.
From that moment on, Stussy became Carl's person in the true sense and also a part of his power.
Because Carl possessed the original power of the Blood-Blood Fruit!
Carl stretched out a finger to hook Stussy's chin and smiled evilly. "Very good, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain."
Stussy lowered her head slightly, stretched out her red and tender tongue, and licked Carl's fingertips, just like a docile kitten.
Carl laughed, took Stussy into his arms, and disappeared from the spot without saying anything to Vegapunk.
He flew back to Mary Geoise with Stussy in his arms, and that night, he and Stussy had a "fusion" of fruit.
The two lived together in the Figarland family for a few days, and then Carl took Stussy to the Jaygarcia family where Saturn was.
Now there was no one in Mary Geoise who didn't know Carl. The guards outside the clan saw Carl and bowed ninety degrees directly, saying respectfully,
"Saint Carl!"
Carl nodded slightly and then walked in with Stussy. The guards had no intention of stopping them and kept bending over until Carl passed them and walked away. Only then did they dare to stand up.
Although Stussy had been implanted with information about Carl in the institute, it was the first time she personally felt the noble status of Carl.
He could even enter the residences of the Five Elders at will, a privilege that "ordinary" Celestial Dragons could never enjoy.
Along the way, everyone who saw Carl immediately bowed in salute, and several people from Saturn's faction came to greet him.
When they saw Carl holding the beautiful Stussy in his arms, they all showed envious eyes, but no one dared to have any bad thoughts toward her.
After all, they were the people of Saturn, one of the Five Elders, and they were still a little smarter than the Celestial Dragons outside.
Saturn was their ancestor, and he usually taught them to be respectful to the people of the Figarland family. As Carl was the next head of the Figarland family, they definitely didn't want to offend him.
Carl responded politely to each one. With his powerful hearing, he didn't need anyone to lead the way and found Saturn's bedroom directly.
Saturn had just walked out of the door of the bedroom when he saw Carl. He was stunned for a moment and said,
"Carl, how did you find this place? I was just about to go to the door to look for you."
The guard at the door had called Saturn and informed him of Carl's arrival.
Carl smiled and said, "You are the elder, how can I ask you to go out and pick me up?"
Carl still remembered Saturn's behavior when he was possessed by Darian that day. Although Saturn's purpose at that time was to kill "himself," it was evident that he was indeed on Garling's side.
So Carl's attitude toward Saturn was naturally much better than that toward the other 4 elders.
Saturn also felt this. He smiled and nodded, glancing at Stussy in Carl's arms, and said, "Saint Carl, let's go in and talk first."
After entering the bedroom, the three of them sat down on the sofa. Saturn pointed at Stussy and said,
"Saint Carl, this woman should be called Stussy."
Carl nodded and said, "Yes, I just brought her from Vegapunk."
"I see. I was planning to arrange for her to join CP0 after she woke up, but since you like her, forget it."
In Saturn's opinion, the purpose of Carl bringing Stussy here was nothing more than to say hello to him. After all, the research institute was under his charge.
Carl responded with a smile, "Thank you very much, but I have to go back to the Navy, and it is inconvenient to bring her with me. So let her join CP0, where she can also get training."
Saturn was stunned, thinking, what's the inconvenience? Didn't you bring Lucia into the Navy?
But after all, he had lived for hundreds of years, so he quickly reacted. He looked at Carl deeply and said,
"Saint Carl, you want to get your hands on CP0, right?"
Since Saturn said it so bluntly, Carl simply didn't hide it and said, "Well, Saint Saturn, you know that my influence in the World Government is still too weak. Now that Darian is dead, I should also develop my own power."
"Haha, Saint Carl, I think you want to completely turn CP0 into your own power, right?"
Carl just smiled, and Saturn continued, "It's good that you have such an idea. No wonder Saint Casillas chose you."
Carl blinked. Saturn's words contained a lot of information. He seemed to have a good relationship with his ancestor Casillas.
Saturn suddenly asked, "Saint Carl, can you let me meet Saint Casillas?"
Carl shook his head and said, "The ancestor has fallen into a deep sleep, so we'd better not disturb him."
Saturn's face showed a trace of regret, but he didn't press the issue and just said, "Well, given his state at that time, it was extremely rare for him to still have a trace of will."
Carl couldn't help but ask, "Saint Saturn, you and Casillas..."
"Saint Casillas is my master, although he never admits it. Also, someone like me who has no talent is indeed not qualified to be his apprentice."
Saturn said with a self-deprecating smile. He raised his head slightly and said softly,
"If Casillas had not been seriously injured, he would be the one most qualified to enjoy eternal life."
When he heard about eternal life, Carl immediately became interested and said, "The eternal life you mentioned, is it related to the Op-Op Fruit?"
"Yeah, didn't Garling say anything about this Devil Fruit?"
"No, but the Op-Op Fruit is not a secret among us Celestial Dragons. I know a little about it."
"Well, since we are talking about this fruit, I have to remind you that there is only one spot for the immortality surgery. If you miss it, you don't know how long you will have to wait."
In the past 800 years, there have only been six people in Mary Geoise who have achieved immortality, including Imu.
Because the operation is too difficult.
First, you have to find the Op-Op Fruit, then find a suitable person with special abilities, and then train him to the point where he can perform the immortality surgery. This process alone will take decades, or even longer.
Not to mention that after the immortality surgery is performed, the person with special abilities that you have worked so hard to train will be scrapped, and everything will have to start all over again.
