one piece: gene extraction and fusion system-Chapter 174: The Winged Gene and the Falcon’s Transformation

Mio clicked on the "Lottery" tab. The Dire Wolf Fruit instantly transformed into a lottery chance. At the same time, a massive roulette wheel materialized before him.

The wheel displayed all sorts of strange and exotic gene types. Every time Mio looked at it, his eyes lit up with anticipation. His heart surged with desire at the endless possibilities.

Among the many gene types shown, several new ones stood out—genes from the Yu-Gi-Oh! world.

[Blue-Eyes White Dragon Gene!]

[Elemental Hero – Neo Yuxia Gene!]

[Destiny Hero – Defender Gene!]

[Elemental Hero...]

...and many more. The gene options from Yu-Gi-Oh! were numerous.

While Mio recognized many from the anime, he didn't always understand their exact powers—he only remembered some of their stats or attack values. Still, he knew one thing: many of the powerful monsters from that world were terrifyingly strong. Especially the Three Egyptian God cards. If those ever appeared on the wheel and he managed to win one, Mio was confident he could become virtually invincible in this world.

After all, the three Egyptian Gods represented earth, sky, and the sun—deities of raw power and divine rule. Even aside from them, one of the genes Mio wanted the most from the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe was the Dark Master gene. Now that was something with real potential.

"Hah..."

Taking a deep breath, Mio looked at the roulette wheel one last time before pressing the "Spin" button.

The wheel began spinning rapidly.

Mio closed his eyes almost immediately, choosing to rely on the system notification to tell him the result. By shutting his eyes, he silenced the anticipation in his heart and waited calmly for fate to decide.

Seconds passed.

"Congratulations on winning the [Elemental Hero – Wingman] gene through the lottery!"

Upon hearing the message, Mio's eyes opened wide, a spark of excitement gleaming in them. "This gene!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm.

The Elemental Hero – Wingman gene belonged to the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, and as the name implied, it was part of the Elemental Hero line. Wingman's primary ability was wind-based—commanding elemental power, particularly wind—and that was a huge advantage. Not only was it a form of elemental manipulation, but the gene also came with enhanced physical attributes.

Even without knowing the exact scope of Wingman's powers, Mio could tell that it was a powerful asset. The combination of wind manipulation and heroic physical strength made it ideal for cultivating powerful hybrid creatures.

With a thought, Mio closed the lottery panel and dismissed the roulette wheel.

"Next, I just need the genes of the three birds." A small smile crept onto Mio's lips.

As long as he could obtain the genes of the three rare bird species, he could begin his next cultivation experiment.

Shaking his head lightly, Mio left the cabin and went to find Robin. He planned to return to the forest with her. After all, searching together would be faster and more efficient.

Time passed quickly, and four days went by in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that tracking down the rare birds was more difficult than expected. Even in the vast Kaisia Islands, such creatures were rare and elusive. But after days of tireless hunting, Mio and his group finally succeeded. They secured the genes of three target bird species, in addition to the ones they'd already collected—South-South Bird, East-South-West Bird, and so on. Together, the complete set of bird genes was finally in Mio's possession.

Night fell.

Inside the restaurant aboard the Black Glory, Mio was enjoying a well-earned dinner prepared by Erica. The meal was made from the meat of various powerful beasts and sea monsters, paired with a fine bottle of whiskey. It was the perfect reward for several days of hard work.

After dinner, Mio headed to the special containment room where the Saker Falcon was being kept.

As soon as he entered, the falcon glared at him with sharp, piercing eyes—like twin blades cutting through the air. It had the kind of gaze that would make most people shrink back in fear.

"I'll turn you into something far more magnificent," Mio murmured with a grin. "Just wait a little longer."

He summoned the system panel again, scanning the gene list he had acquired over the past few days.

The list included:

Elemental Hero – Wingman Gene (from the lottery)

Influence Fruit Ability Gene

Monkey-Eating Eagle Gene

White Wolf Gene

These were top-tier genes with impressive growth potential.

Notably, the Monkey-Eating Eagle gene was from a bird of prey that fed on monkeys—a fearsome predator. Combined with the Wingman gene, which granted elemental wind powers, and the superior physical traits of the white wolf, this next creature would surely be formidable.

Mio also considered the Soul-Wounding Bird gene and the Crow gene but ultimately decided not to use them in this cultivation. He had other plans for those genes.

After finalizing the gene selection in his mind, Mio drew his blade—Raikiri.

Clang!

With one swift motion, he slashed through the cage and inflicted a deep wound on the Saker Falcon. Even with all its ferocity and potential, the bird was still nothing in front of Mio's controlled power.

Blood trickled down its white feathers, staining them red.

With a silent command, Mio moved the injured bird into a cultivation tank. The tank hissed as it activated, and Mio pulled up the gene interface, dragging the selected genes into the fusion slot.

Then, he pressed the [Cultivate] button.

The machine began to hum.

Soon, the system presented the first prompt:

[Please choose the cultivation direction: Human form? – Beast form?]

Mio rubbed his chin and replied with a calm voice, "Humanoid."

[Selection confirmed.]

The machine continued to process the information, combining the selected genes. Mio watched intently, anticipation building in his chest.

He had high hopes for this fusion—the elemental and physical synergy was ideal.

Half an hour passed.

Then the system message popped up:

[Cultivation Complete!]

[Name: Unnamed!]

[Abilities: ...]
