Afterward came a practical demonstration.
Doflamingo ordered his Seraphim, which was modeled after him, to attack him.
The comparison showed that the Marine-developed version was clearly much stronger than the version invented by the Vinsmoke family.
"Fufufufu... I wonder if I can buy a lot..." Doflamingo's eyes flickered.
He wondered if he could profit by buying Seraphim from the Marines and selling them for a higher price.
It seemed like a better plan than cooperating with Big Mom and Kaido.
But after some thought, Doflamingo dismissed the idea.
The Marines weren't foolish; they wouldn't give him such an obvious opportunity.
"Fufufu, since everything's done here! Time to go home!" Doflamingo smiled and left.
Using his String-String Fruit to grab a cloud, he flew through the air with his Seraphim, quickly heading towards his territory.
On the way, he made a phone call to Big Mom and others, relaying the latest news from the Marines.

At the same time, on Onigashima, Queen smiled.
"Kaido-sama! This is a big step forward!" Caesar was also beside him, smiling.
"Hmm... not bad! The production time and cost of our knockoff Seraphim have been greatly reduced, which is very beneficial for our future development!" Kaido smiled as well.
"Well, well, this is also thanks to the Red-Haired bloodline factor! Otherwise, how could our completion be close to 80%?"
Their knockoff version of the Admiral Seraphim had already reached 80% of the original's strength. Both the production time and cost had been significantly shortened, which was excellent news for them.
"Yes!" Kaido nodded. "Although I don't really like that red-haired guy, with the threat from the Marines and our progress being so fast, joining forces to defend against the Marines attack is a better choice!" Kaido was in a good mood.
He felt that with the Admiral Seraphim rapidly growing strength, it wouldn't be impossible for them to make it as strong as him and Big Mom one day.
Suddenly, "Buru buru buru—" Kaido's denden mushi buzzed.
"Huh? It's Doflamingo..." Kaido quickly answered.
"Kaido... there's a very important thing I want to tell you now," Doflamingo's voice said from the other end.
"What is it?"
"The Marines have come out with a new tech product. This tech .. is a bit unbelievable, but it should be true!"
"Speak!" Kaido frowned.
An ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"It's like this. Dont you heard the news a while ago that the Marines built a new factory? When i went to the Marines to buy Seraphim today, i heard rumors..." Doflamingo took a deep breath.
"It's said that the Marines have developed something called a second Devil Fruit!"
"Second Devil Fruit?" Kaido was stunned.
He looked at Big Mom and frowned.
"What does that mean?"
"It means that this artificial Devil Fruit can be eaten by someone who already has a Devil Fruit power! After eating it, you can gain new abilities!"
"WHAT?!"
Before the others could say anything, Kaido and Big Mom exclaimed in unison.
Something that could allow Devil Fruit users to gain a new ability—what kind of shit was that?!
"Explain clearly! What do you mean you gain an additional Devil Fruit ability?" Kaido asked, his face serious.
"Yes! It's an additional Devil Fruit ability, mean a devil fruit user can eat another one to gain a secondary power!" Doflamingo answered.
"This..."
Hearing Doflamingo's words, everyone present fell silent, their faces filled with disbelief.
Kaido and Big Mom looked at Queen and the others.
Queen, Judge and Caesar immediately understood their meaning.
They frowned, deep in thought, but in the end, all three shook their heads.
"Although its most likely true, I don't want to believe it. This is an iron law of the Devil Fruits! A person absolutely cannot eat a second Devil Fruit!"
"When we cooperated with Vegapunk, we conducted experiments on devil fruits and the results proved this is true and the consequences completely unavoidable" Judge added.
"That's right. We are very sure about this point. Even someone as thorough in his Devil Fruit research as Vegapunk can't do this!" Caesar's face looked ugly, and he couldn't help but gnash his teeth.
"But... if that Leon invented it..."
"Maybe it's really possible!"
"But for us, this is a huge invention beyond our comprehension!"
They all sighed in unison.
"This Leon's brain... it's too abnormal!"
They had never felt such terrifying pressure when facing Vegapunk.
Hearing the words of these three scientists, Kaido and Big Mom fell silent.
They started to worry but also couldn't help but imagine it.
If after obtaining a second Devil Fruit, they could add another terrifying Devil Fruit ability... how powerful would they be?!
An Emperor with dual fruit abilities could be compared to their former captain, Rocks!
"But..." Judge suddenly changed the subject. "If we can do everything possible to obtain the bloodline factor of a dual Devil Fruit users, perhaps we can also replicate it!" he continued, his voice filled with renewed determination.
"I also mastered some artificial Devil Fruit technology! Combined with the bloodline factors we jointly research, we might be able to replicate this second devil fruit!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Big Mom and Kaido were overjoyed.
Despite the twists and turns, they were still filled with hope.
But at that moment, a pteranodon, flew towards them.
It instantly transformed into a human.
It was King!
He spoke quickly, his expression both happy and anxious.
"Kaido-san! Good news! A Celestial Dragon came through anywhere door and appeared directly in our area!"
