Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On Onigashima, the entire Beast Pirates crew was immersed in joy and anticipation.
Kaido successfully traded with Doflamingo for three times the number of artificial Devil Fruits and created a new batch of artificial Devil Fruit users.
However, when Doflamingo requested to purchase monster cells, Kaido sternly refused.
As for the reason, there was none. A small-time player like Doflamingo wasn't qualified to negotiate with him.
Even when BIGMOM somehow got wind of the monster cells and called to demand them, Kaido simply told her to get lost and ignored her.
Meanwhile, many of the Gifters and Headliners eagerly awaited the day Reno would emerge from his lab.
They knew that when Reno came out, it would be the moment for them to transform their lives.
Of course, there were exceptions, like the siblings Pejiwan and Ulti.
When they returned victorious, expecting heaps of praise, they were informed of an even higher grade of monster cells.
The most crushing news was that one could only consume one monster cell, meaning as members of the Flying Six, they had consumed the lowest grade.
They were destined to miss out on the higher-grade monster cells.
"Sis, why are we so unlucky?!" Pejiwan lamented, looking dejected.
For the past month, he hadn't smiled once.
He had hoped to return and challenge Jack, to prove himself.
But now, with Jack taunting him, he didn't even dare to speak up.
If Jack consumed a higher-grade monster cell, he might not survive the encounter.
"Cheer up, Page," Ulti gently patted his head, affectionately comforting him.
Seeing Pejiwan still downcast, Ulti's eyes sparkled with an idea.
"Didn't Lord Reno mention other technologies?"
Upon hearing this, Pejiwan's eyes lit up, his previous gloom vanishing.
"You're right! Lord Reno is so amazing; there must be other powerful technologies to enhance our strength."
"By the way, Lord Reno has been in the lab for a whole month. When will he come out?"
Since Reno disliked being disturbed, only Yamato was allowed to come and go freely during this time, while others were strictly forbidden from entering the lab.
As they spoke, the lab doors finally opened.
Reno stretched his arms wide, basking in the sunlight, and let out a comfortable yawn.
After a month in the lab, his body felt rusty.
Initially, he only planned to develop a batch of Tiger-Class monster cells, but once he started, he decided to push through and develop all the technologies unlocked at system LV1.
Besides the Tiger-Class monster cells, he only created one prototype of each of the other three technologies for testing.
Once successful, with his previous experience, he could mass-produce them.
"Lord Reno, you're finally out."
Pejiwan ran over, his face showing a hint of flattery, lacking any of the dignity of a Flying Six member.
"What are you up to?" Reno looked at Pejiwan warily, unsure of his intentions.
Ulti sighed at her brother's behavior, thinking he was still such a child, lacking any depth.
She then explained the situation to Reno in detail.
Reno looked at the siblings, smiling wryly.
"When you were so eager for the Tiger-Class monster cells, I didn't mention it."
Pejiwan dared not blame Reno, only managing a bitter smile, swallowing his frustration.
"Lord Reno, since you're out, do you have new technologies?" Pejiwan eagerly changed the subject.
Reno nodded slightly, confirming, "Inform everyone in the Beast Pirates to come here."
"I'll go right away." Pejiwan didn't hesitate and quickly headed to the Onigashima hall.
From Reno's tone, it was clear there were powerful new technologies.
"The first phase of technologies is complete, and I can't miss out on the shock value," Reno thought.
He wanted everyone gathered to witness his technologies, gaining shock value to purchase items from the system store and enhance his strength.
Both goals needed attention.
Soon, Kaido arrived with the Three Calamities, the Flying Six, and many members of the Beast Pirates.
Many had regretted not witnessing the power of the monster cells firsthand.
Upon hearing Reno had developed new technologies, they dropped everything and rushed over eagerly.
Looking around, there were tens of thousands present.
Reno's face lit up with joy, anticipating a massive surge in shock value.
"Urorororo~ Reno, what powerful technology have you developed this time? Show us!" Even someone as strong as Kaido was like a curious child, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Others were even more eager.
Reno didn't keep them in suspense and immediately displayed his three technologies.
These were the Physique Potion, Gravity Adjustment Chamber, and Air Cannon.
"Three?!!"
Seeing three unknown technologies, even Kaido's heart was stirred.
Reno had invented three powerful technologies at once?!!
What kind of treasure had he found?!
Others were equally incredulous, their eyes wide with disbelief, gasping in shock.
"Lord Reno, did you develop all these?" Pejiwan licked his dry lips, struggling to speak.
Reno rolled his eyes at him.
"If not me, then who?"
"Urorororo~ Reno, you're truly a blessing, a blessing to the Beast Pirates." Kaido couldn't help but express his admiration.
With Reno's research capabilities, not even ten Vegapunks could compare.
"Alright, calm down. Let me introduce them one by one." Reno gestured for everyone to quiet down, interrupting their excitement.
