----------

The transparent surgical cover appeared, and through the scalpel in Law's hand, a strange life force began to show up. The dazzling light was like a hot sun rising, continuously flowing into Alex's body.

Alex lay on the operating table with his eyes closed, feeling carefully.

The turbulent life waves that constantly moved like ocean waves were comfortably intoxicating.

Little did they know that under these circumstances, Law, who was performing the immortality surgery on Alex, had already begun to show a weak state.

Although the extremely high-purity Pure Gold prevented his body from showing signs of aging, Hancock could still feel the rapid weakening of his various states from the damage to his soul.

In this way, while Alex just closed his eyes and focused, time passed by like a fleeting moment.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside the operating room, all the core members of the crew gathered.

For example, Mihawk and Laffitte sat on chairs and waited quietly. There were also Nami and Carina, who walked back and forth in the hallway, obviously nervous and anxious.

Almost everyone here had great confidence in Alex, but now it had been five days, and the long wait would naturally cause changes in mood.

"I don't know how the surgery is going. It's been going on for so long. It's really nerve-wracking," Perona said.

She was already skilled at transforming her body into ghost form, and now she was flying around outside the laboratory quite agitatedly. If she wasn't afraid that she might affect the soul work, she might have already entered through the wall instead of getting impatient here.

With Perona's words, Nami also complained, "That's right! It's been five days, and there's no news from inside!"

"After all, this is an operation involving eternal life. The complexity is imaginable, and the time is normal," Stussy said after some analysis. She looked at Baccarat and teased, "Not to mention the blessing of our goddess of luck."

Ignoring Stussy's joking tone, Baccarat nodded to everyone. "The upper limit of luck I have stored is all blessed on Lord Alex. Everyone can rest assured."

Although luck was a mysterious thing, with the Luck-Luck Fruit, it was undeniable that its role had the power people yearned for.

It just so happened that Baccarat's words had just ended.

THUMP!!

It was like a thunderous drumbeat echoing, hitting everyone's hearts.

"Is this... the sound of a heartbeat?" Yamato couldn't help wondering.

Right after, the flashing warning lights outside the laboratory immediately went silent.

Familiar with this signal, it meant the end of the operation. Everyone who was waiting felt their hearts jump. Even Nami and the others who still wanted to say something to Stussy stopped temporarily and turned to look at the closed door.

Time seemed to drag on forever.

Tap, tap...

Footsteps sounded inside.

Rumble---

The gate made of alloy slowly opened to both sides.

As expected by everyone, a tall figure with bare upper body came out of it.

Handsome appearance, strong and powerful body that seemed to contain infinite explosive power.

Alex only moved slightly, and his muscular frame immediately exploded like dynamite, as if every muscle contained a sense of explosive power that was a hundred times stronger than before.

And the terrifying heartbeat that echoed in everyone's hearts seemed to be transmitted through this method.

"Lord Alex!"

Looking at the tall figure who came out with his upper body bare, the followers were all filled with surprise and couldn't wait to greet him.

Hiyori even stepped forward quickly and took out clothes that seemed to have been prepared for Alex to put on.

"Lord Alex, was the operation successful?" Baby-5 asked nervously, her eyes full of respectful admiration.

"There was no problem with the operation. It was indeed a success."

A faint smile appeared on Alex's face. He clenched his hands into fists and thought about the changes in his body. "As expected of a god-making operation, it's really powerful."

Unlike the previous changes that were constantly getting stronger, Alex could feel more wonderful changes.

It was like his whole cells and life factors were constantly changing in his body, upgrading his body little by little. This wasn't limited to the evolution of his physical condition, but also included improvement where his whole body and even soul were shared and fully connected.

An indescribable feeling of warmth spread all over his body, accompanied by seemingly endless physical strength and vitality flowing into his limbs and bones.

The unprecedented abundance of vitality made Alex even feel the joy of every cell in his body. Even the regrowth of a severed limb could be achieved through the breath of life.

Of course, the regrowth of a broken limb also depended on how much was broken. If it was a finger, it would only take a few minutes for Alex to regenerate. But if it was half the body or some vital points, it would be different.

After all, he was said to be a god, but he wasn't yet all-powerful.

Hearing Alex's words, the rest of the followers were no longer as anxious and worried as before, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Lami was the same. If she hadn't seen Law, Hancock, and others who came out later, she might have even forgotten her worries about her big brother under the surprise.

"Big brother, you're okay!"

"I think you almost forgot about me just now."

Even though he said so, seeing Lami's rushing action, even though he was weak, Law still opened his arms and hugged his sister.

"Lord Alex, Law should be fine, right?" Zoro asked.

He was also a friend who grew up along the way, and Zoro would still ask out of concern when it was a matter of life and death.

"Everything went as expected."

Comps answered for Alex: "After performing the immortality operation, Law's ability and soul have been damaged, so now he's a new ability user who has been saved by the Revive-Revive Fruit, and the Op-Op Fruit has been recovered."

"That guy's soul is still a little weak. I have already used my ability to treat him, but he still needs follow-up recovery," Hancock also followed up.

But immediately after finishing speaking, she stuck to Alex again. Especially after the immortality operation, the breath of vitality coming from his body, or the strength of the soul that only she could feel, were more attractive. She fell even more in love with the man in her heart.

Holding Hancock who was asking for a hug, Alex immediately looked at Stussy, who was blushing and had a nosebleed. "So, why is my little fox back?"

Staring straight at Alex's explosive muscles under the open clothes, Stussy wiped the nosebleed and said, "It's the sixth day, and all the plans will be launched immediately. We need you, so I came back specially to check on your situation. It's a good thing I made this special trip."

Stussy licked her lips, somewhat expecting that Alex would be different from usual after becoming a god.
