Start by Eating Jake Jake no Mi

"Who?" 

Unlike the previous man, who was just frowning due to the painful diarrhea, on Level 6, a certain man really noticed the existence of Masa, who came to this place, which should be forgotten. 

This existence was vague and hard to see; no, Masa was invisible, yet even so, his presence existed. 

To do this might be hard or even impossible for others, but for this man, nothing was impossible. 

Yet—

Masa ignored this man, but the others couldn't do the same, especially when all of them had nothing to do; as they were kept inside this place, they couldn't do much except for waiting their death, which was pretty depressing and pointless as some of them wished to die, yet many still had a will to live, waiting for their chance to escape from this dammable place. 

So, when this man started to talk, many started to talk, too. 

"What's wrong, old man?

"Are you starting to have dementia?" 

"There is no one who will enter this place." 

Yes, no one believed that there was someone who would enter this place, especially when they couldn't even see Masa's figure, but it was different from the man and the others, especially those who had good ears. 

"Be quiet!" 

Yet, no one stayed quiet, and all of them became even louder since, in this place, no one thought that the others were better. Instead, their status was about the same, and with their nature, how could they follow the order of someone obediently unless that person was stronger than them? 

"Do you know all of them, Masa?" 

"Not all, but I know some." 

Meanwhile, Masa, Carina, Perona, and Kalifa continued their talks about the criminals that were kept in this place. Naturally, during this talk, he hacked the Den Den Mushi by making it to show the unchanging situation so no one would be able to tell what was happening in this place. 

"You know what? Isn't it better for you to just swallow all of them with your Yami Yami no Mi's ability? They are all a damn criminal anyway, so there is no need to think too much if you can become stronger by killing them." 

Carina was as ruthless as ever with her words. If a certain situation would benefit Masa greatly, then she would support him without hesitation, but then again, she knew well that deep inside, he was a gentle guy and a little naive. 

'If you want to kill, that's fine.' 

Masa thought that he had underestimated Carina, but then again, he knew that he was just worried that his impression of Carina changed and she thought of him as a cruel guy, when the truth, she didn't think of him that way at all since sometimes, some people were better off dead. 

What Carina hated was just bullying the weak to have fun, like how one would find pleasure in killing a small animal to ascertain their status above many when, in truth, their action was meaningless. 

Masa might kill others, and he might appear cruel, but each of his killings had never been meaningless, and each of them had its own meaning, like how a human would kill an animal for food. 

In other words, the act of his killing was a necessity, and as Carina affirmed him, Masa had no need to hesitate anymore. 

"Yeah, just kill it if you want to. Or, you can send their corpse to Moria-sama since I am sure that they can become a good zombie." 

"That trash is better off dead." 

On the other hand, Perona, who stayed with a pirate from childhood, and Kalifa, who was an agent who specialized in assassination, neither of them thought of human life as something important and needed to be kept. 

"....." 

Suddenly, Masa realized that he might be the kindest among them, which made him speechless. "Let's go to that old man first." Thinking of the man's voice who noticed him, he thought that he could gain something good by devouring that man.

"Did he eat a good Devil Fruit?" 

"No, he shouldn't."

"Then?" 

"But his Observation Haki is pretty good." 

As Masa stood in front of him, Patrick Redfield, who was wrapped in chains and completely tied by chains, looked at the invisible figure before him and quickly felt the malicious intention that was exuded by Masa. However, before he could do anything, darkness swallowed him, as he was unable to do anything and was completely devoured. 

If Patrick had eaten a Devil Fruit and had regained his youth, it might not have been easy for Masa to devour him, but as Patrick was completely weakened as he had been imprisoned for so long, it was easy for Masa to do this. 

"Oh..." 

After Masa devoured Patrick, he had to admit that Patrick's Observation Haki was special, but unlike Katakuri or Shanks, who could see the future, the development of Patrick's Observation Haki was in a different direction. 

Mind reading. 

This was Patrick's advanced Observation Haki, which allowed him to become a man whose standing matched Roger and Whitebeard. 

Yet, while this ability was great, Masa had two abilities that could work similarly to mind-reading, but he had to say, using Observation Haki to do mind-reading was much easier and more subtle, and no one could fight this ability unless one had developed their Supreme King Haki to the fullest that one could defend themselves against the Haki's effect. 

Still, in this world, how many people could do that? 

So, Masa knew that he could read the minds of most people in this world with this advanced Observation Haki. 

At the same time, this also confirmed his assumption that he could develop Haki based on his imagination, but then again, he had to say, he really didn't have enough time to develop it, considering he had to learn and develop all the Devil Fruits that he had eaten. 

'Fortunately, I am not alone...' 

If Masa was alone, he was sure that even if he had many abilities, his development would be half-baked. 

Nevertheless, there was no doubt that Masa's words caused Carina, Perona, and Kalifa to be dumbfounded since they never expected that Patrick Redfield was a man whose status matched that of Roger and Whitebeard, yet somehow, this man was devoured by their man so easily. 

"This man is...? Really?!" 

"Yeah." 

Naturally, Masa didn't tell them about the mind-reading ability, but then again, he had to say, he felt it was a bit of a shame that he couldn't get Patrick's Devil Fruit, which was Bato Bato no Mi, Model: Vampire. 

A vampire was a powerful creature, after all, especially when one could absorb the life force of others to make themselves young and become immortal. 

'But it should be outside...' 

As Masa gains the memory of Patrick, he also knows the clue to where he could get that mythical type of Zoan Devil Fruit. 

Still, compared to Patrick, there was one person that Masa wished to devour the most, the owner of the Devil Fruit, whom Masa of Mahouka wished to get the most. 

Yes, Masa of Mahouka's interest in the Goro Goro no Mi might be high, but it was the number two, and the number one would be the one that was eaten by this criminal. 

Demon Heir.
