While Garp waited for more gang members to arrive, Genichi was also preparing a suitable opponent for him.
Among his characters right now, there were some who could fight Garp, but they all had their own roles already.
Rocks, transformed into the Thunder God, and Makima were in The Black Order. Shiki, turned into the murder weapon, was the Ice Demon of Little Demon Dragon's group. Toguro was a well-known sea monster in the New World.
Other characters weren't good enough to fight Garp, but that didn't mean Genichi had no other options.
Because he had Weirdo Cells!
Weirdo Cells can turn people into weirdos, and the appearance after becoming a weirdo might be completely unrelated to their previous self.
Shiki, after eating a Weirdo Cell, became the Ice Demon murder weapon, and even Garp couldn't recognize his old rival.
And now, Genichi wanted Toguro to eat a Weirdo Cell. Actually, at his level of strength, he was already close to his limit. It was unknown how much his power would increase after eating a Weirdo Cell.
This time, he was having Toguro eat this thing to do a test.
In the underground base, Toguro swallowed the Weirdo Cell, and immediately a change came from within his body. A surge of heat came from inside, and a power was changing his life form.
When Toguro wasn't in his 100% state, he was pretty much like a normal person. But now his body was expanding, and a black color was seeping out from his skin. Toguro's body surface became dark and hard, like he had gained a layer of hard armor.
This blackness even covered his head. His body expanded again. Originally his height was 2.12 meters, but now he directly reached 3 meters. A dark and evil power radiated from his body.
Originally, with the Shikon Jewel and Haki, Toguro had already reached the top level of this world. At least he could fight strong people like Roger for a short time without any problems.
And now, after eating a Weirdo Cell, he became even stronger. A powerful force radiated from his body. He felt that his normal state was closer to using his 100% state. His upper limit didn't increase much, but it was actually at this point that he could be considered a true top powerhouse.
Originally, he could handle the '100% mode' for a long time, but under the '100% of 100% mode' he still couldn't handle it for too long. Therefore, he could only be a top combat power for a short time.
But now, after eating a Weirdo Cell, he was confident that he could fight in his strongest state for more than half a day!
Compared to the beginning, when he would die just by using the 120% mode, he had undoubtedly grown too much. With a thought from Genichi, Toguro, who had already completed his transformation, changed his form again.
At this moment, his originally black back suddenly split open, and a pair of black demon wings appeared behind him. Toguro shouted softly, and dark flames surged from his body again. The flames seemed to have come from the depths of hell, filled with an evil feeling.
The originally evil monster combined with the even more evil Weirdo Cell. The fusion of the two life forms turned Toguro into a monster like this. The black flames were his ability produced after becoming a weirdo. At this point, he could definitely fool other people's eyes.
Who would associate such a monster with Toguro?
Since he had Marine send out so many troops this time, how could he rely only on those esper mutants to act? Even with Little Demon Dragon's group stirring things up, it still wasn't enough. And now the total combat power of the demon side finally met his expectations.
And what was missing in the end was the character he would draw next using ten million negative emotion points. He was really looking forward to it. He wondered what kind of strong person it would be. Hopefully, he would draw a character with a ten-million-level upper limit.
After all, if it was Infinity, then it wouldn't be much different from a million-level upper limit. He might as well do ten million-level draws.
"Also, million-level character cards don't seem to have any rejection problems when accommodating three kinds of powers at the same time."
After Little Demon Dragon combined the esper power from the esper training box, the Shikon Jewel fragment, and the Weirdo Cell, it produced that mixed rejection reaction. However, Toguro didn't have such a reaction.
In other words, the real difference in level was here. Ten-thousand-level character cards could accommodate up to three powers, while million-level character cards could accommodate more powers; was it four or five?
Actually, before, there didn't seem to be much difference between ten-thousand, million, and ten-million level character cards. Because they all existed under the One Piece world's rules. Everyone could become stronger. Even if their talent wasn't good, Genichi could use some means to forcefully raise them up.
For example, a method like Weirdo Cells could forcefully make people much stronger.
So as long as they had time, they would sooner or later become top combat power. That's why he arranged for Kenshin and Ah Xing to practice, because they had such talent. Even if their initial combat power was not high, they would definitely become powerful later on.
But now the difference was obvious. Although everyone could become stronger, the upper limit was obviously higher for characters at higher levels. Because ten-thousand-level could use up to three different worlds' methods to become stronger, and million-level could use four or five, and ten-million-level even more.
That's why he was so looking forward to ten-million-level character cards. Maybe they could directly break the current world's limit with a ten-million-level character. Although they wouldn't reach the level of surpassing the One Piece world's rules, becoming the strongest in the world shouldn't be a problem.
Characters that surpass the limits of the One Piece world are very powerful, but if the limits of this world are higher, then wouldn't characters that surpass the limits be even more powerful?
If the limits of this world become stronger, it would also be very beneficial for the hundred-million character card he draws.
Genichi looked forward to it in his heart, and at the same time controlled Toguro back into his previous black armor form. After the flames and demon wings all disappeared, he let him rush towards Pig Cage Alley.
Those gang members had naturally had their memories controlled by Makima and were manipulated by him, just to give Garp a preliminary task. Now they were useless, because Genichi was going to play himself.
Toguro could also teleport, and his energy was extremely abundant. He was the character among all his characters with the most Haki and the highest physical strength. It wouldn't take long to get from here to Pig Cage Alley at all.
Therefore, before the village surrounded by mountains, the new Weirdo Toguro appeared.
