One Piece: Fist of the World

Faced with Vegapunk's question, Rhodes did not respond immediately, but looked at the various equipment in the laboratory.

As expected, he is a genius scientist who is known to have surpassed the world by 500 years. In this world where most areas maintain the scientific level equivalent to the 19th century in the previous life, the various equipment in Vegapunk's laboratory made Rhodes a little confused.

High technology, no, it should be considered black technology.

"What a big head, what a strange person, is he Vegapunk?"

Nia looked at Vegapunk.

The other party was not tall, wearing a white research suit, with a long tongue dragging on the edge of his mouth, but the most noticeable thing was his huge head.

"It is indeed a study on biological cloning."

Ro looked at Vegapunk's research materials and gave an answer.

Although he is not a professional scientific researcher, as a skilled doctor, Luo can still understand the professional content.

"It is really cloning!"

Eagle Eyes looked at Vegapunk with sharp eyes and put his hand on the handle of his knife.

He doesn't care about scientists or anything like that.

"No, no, no, don't be impulsive!"

As if he sensed Hawkeye's murderous intent, Vegapunk's face changed slightly, and he kept shaking his hands, trying to calm Hawkeye down.

"Although I am indeed planning to use your 'bloodline factor' to develop powerful biological weapons, I am also doing this for world peace!"

When talking about his ambitions, Vegapunk's eyes sparkled.

"This world is terrible! Countless people have been harassed by pirates, and the lives of many people in various parts of the world are threatened!"

"Do you know about electromagnetic energy? If humans can emit laser beams, the pirates will be shocked by this overwhelming power!

I am currently looking for talents who can serve as clone templates. I have read the preliminary analysis report. There is a sample that is as strong as a monster and has great room for growth. If it is used as a sample, the cloned soldiers will definitely have super strong bodies!

Just think about it, the combination of laser beams released at will and a strong body that can block bullets, the cloned soldiers born will have absolutely powerful power, and they will become heroes who save the weak people!"

Vegapunk described his dream to Rhodes and others passionately.

He is a genius scientist, an idealist, and a pacifist.

He really hopes to rely on his wisdom and technology to bring a better life to the whole world.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter anyway."

Hawkeye drew out his weapon and pointed the black knife at Vegapunk's huge head.

"But I can't tolerate that there will be many clone soldiers like me in the future!"

"No, no, no, you're wrong. The one I found that can be used as a clone soldier sample is not you."

Vegapunk waved his hand at Hawkeye.

"If you don't want, I can delete all the data about you and destroy your blood sample."

Although he wanted to study the blood factors of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Vegapunk decisively gave up this idea when the owner of the blood strongly requested and found himself. He really operated on the device in front of him and deleted all the data about Hawkeye.

Then he returned Hawkeye's blood sample to Hawkeye.

Seeing this scene, Hawkeye retracted his weapon.

Rod took a deep look at Vegapunk.

This scientist is not honest either.

Rod knew that the other party was a user of the [Brain-Brain Fruit] ability and could store unlimited information.

In addition to his extremely intelligent mind, everything he has seen and studied will be stored in his head forever. Even if the research data about Hawkeye is deleted from the equipment, the relevant information will be engraved in Vegapunk's head forever.

As long as he wants, he can reproduce the relevant data at any time.

"It's not about your blood sample either. Don't worry, I will delete all the information about you."

Feeling Rhode's gaze, Vegapunk deleted the research data about Rhode neatly, and then returned Rhode's blood sample to him.

After returning all the blood samples of Rhode and Hawkeye to them, Vegapunk seemed to feel that he had dealt with the entanglement between the two people, and he relaxed a little.

"It's not Rhode's either?"

Nia looked at Vegapunk strangely.

This big head, as I said just now, one of the samples is as strong as a monster and has a super strong physique.

Could it be that among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there are people whose physical fitness is stronger than Rhode?

Thinking back to the Shichibukai she had met before, Nia began to wonder.

There doesn't seem to be anyone this strong, right?

"It's strange, but the bloodline factor extracted from Mr. Rod's blood sample is not excellent based on the test results alone."

Vegapunk's eyes also flashed with a hint of doubt.

This Tyrant Rod had killed one of the Four Emperors before.

This is an unprecedented feat in this sea.

Moreover, according to the intelligence sent back from the Navy and Borsalino's oral statement, when killing Big Mom, Tyrant Rhodes relied entirely on pure physical conditions.

Logically speaking, if the opponent's blood is used as a sample, the "bloodline factor" extracted should show super physical fitness and strong development potential.

However, the result is completely different from the prediction.

'Because my own physical talent is not outstanding? '

Rhodes thought secretly in his mind.

'It's just because of the golden finger that my physical fitness can be improved to the current level. '

"On the contrary, the bloodline factor extracted from another blood is simply the most perfect template for clone soldiers!"

Could it be...?

Minina's face flashed in Rhodes' mind.

"Minina!"

Vegapunk's eyes flashed with a hint of heat.

"Her body is too strong, it is almost out of the human category. If it weren't for the Navy's repeated confirmation, I would have thought they sent the wrong blood sample."

"This doesn't work either!"

Rhodes interrupted Vegapunk's next words.

He didn't want to see a clone soldier based on Minina one day.

On the one hand, he didn't want to attack someone who looked like his companion.

On the other hand, with Minina's terrifying physical fitness, if she was really mass-produced by the World Government as a clone soldier, coupled with the laser of the "Pacifista" in the original book.

I'm afraid it would be more terrifying than the "Pacifista" based on the Big Bear.

The smile on Vegapunk's face was instantly dull, and his mouth opened slightly.

Whoosh!

Taking advantage of this time, Rhode flicked his finger and flicked his blood into Vegapunk's mouth. The blood flowed down his throat into his body, and the soul fragment attached to the blood by Rhode was integrated into Vegapunk's body.

"Just a little trick."

Rhode looked at Vegapunk.

"If I see a clone soldier based on me and my companions one day, I will completely destroy your soul."

"Soul Soul Fruit!?"

Vegapunk frowned.

He is a genius scientist, but the soul is indeed a part of his research that is relatively lacking.

"Don't worry, I won't use your blood for research."

After thinking about it for a while, Vegapunk realized that he really had no way to interfere with the soul, so he promised immediately.

He is a scientist with persistence and dreams, but also a flexible and flexible scientist.

He has always been more flexible in matters that do not involve his principles.

Although the blood with the best physical performance cannot be studied, the blood of the strongest man, Tyrant Fist Rod, cannot be studied, and the blood sample of Hawkeye, the great swordsman, cannot be messed with.

However, in addition to this, there are Gekko Moriah, Hawkeye Jinbei, Empress Hancock, Charlotte Katakuri, and Edward Weible, known as the "son of Whitebeard", whose blood factors are also worth studying.

Especially Edward Weible.

His blood sample is the best among the remaining few.

Vegapunk's eyes turned, and he had already thought of a plan to deeply study the other party's blood factors.

According to Borsalino, Edward Weible is just like a young Whitebeard in terms of strength and combat.

If his bloodline factor can be re-encoded, his appearance will become like Whitebeard.

The appearance and power of the Four Emperors Whitebeard, plus the laser beam of the Navy Admiral Kizaru.

The clone soldiers created in this way may be more deterrent!

"Vegapunk!"

Rod suddenly spoke, and Vegapunk also put down the things in his mind and looked at him in confusion.

"Do you want to join me?"

"You?"

Vegapunk shook his big head.

"I want to do research and research inexhaustible energy. Only the World Government can meet my research needs, and you can't."

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Rod tried to seduce Vegapunk.

Although Gray is also very powerful, Franky is also quite talented in shipbuilding, and has mastered the design drawings of [Pluto]. The scientific research strength of the Vinsmoke family is also very strong.

However, the three of them combined are not as good as Vegapunk alone.

This is the ceiling figure in the scientific community around the world.

If Vegapunk joins, apart from anything else, just a few suggestions can upgrade Rhode's various industries, comprehensively improve the production capacity of all aspects, and greatly increase the power Rhode controls.

Not to mention, the technologies that Vegapunk has mastered, especially the clone soldiers he is currently researching, are enough to affect the power balance of different camps.

"Impossible."

Vegapunk still shook his head.

The research he did required a lot of funds and resources. Except for the World Government that controls the entire world, no other force can support his research.

At the beginning, his friend, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, also invited him to join the Revolutionary Army, but he also refused.

The reason is the same as now.

Except for the World Government, no one can meet his research requirements.

Vegapunk's refusal was not unexpected by Rhode. After all, he was just a "mere Shichibukai", a force under the World Government. Even if he was actually the Pirate Emperor, he was still far behind the World Government.

For scientists, a stable environment and sufficient research funding are what they value most.

However, the soul fragments have been integrated into Vegapunk's body, and he can take it slowly.

When his power becomes stronger and stronger, one day, Vegapunk will do research for him.

As for now, let him use the resources of the World Government to continue to reserve technology for a period of time.

"I heard that you created an artificial devil fruit."

After giving up the idea of ​​recruiting, Rhode made another request - an artificial devil fruit!

That was an artificial devil fruit created by Vegapunk after studying Kaido's bloodline factor.

Except for the color, the power of this devil fruit is exactly the same as Kaido's [Blue Dragon Fruit]!

However, Vegapunk was a perfectionist. Because of the color problem, he considered this devil fruit a failure, and the World Government also thought that his artificial devil fruit had indeed failed.

"That failure?"

Sure enough, after hearing Rhode's question, Vegapunk looked at him in surprise, and then said nonchalantly.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you."

"Not only the devil fruit, but also the data you studied before. If possible, give me a copy."

Rhode asked loudly.

"No problem."

Because he said he wanted to study in seclusion, Vegapunk was the only one in the huge laboratory. Faced with these requests made by Rhode, Vegapunk agreed almost without hesitation, and asked the robot to organize the research data and hand it over to Rhode and others.

Although the blood factor technology was studied by Vegapunk a long time ago, there are not many people in this world who can understand it.

For people without talent, even if these research materials are placed in front of him and given decades, he cannot study them clearly, let alone use them.

"Do you want to eat this devil fruit yourself?"

Giving the artificial devil fruit to Rod, Vegapunk looked at him curiously.

"No, I'm already a power user."

Rod pulled out the Autumn Water from his waist.

"I want my weapon to eat this devil fruit."

"Do you need my help?"

In most cases, Vegapunk was easy to talk to, and even offered to help.

"I also researched the technology of letting weapons eat devil fruits!"

"I think this should be possible."

Rod stretched out his hand and brushed Autumn Water, giving it the power of the soul. The weapon in his hand seemed to come alive and gave birth to its own consciousness.

This is the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit!

"Boss!"

Under the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Autumn Water was injected with soul, and a dark, twisted face appeared on the blade, speaking to Rod.

"Eat this."

Rod handed the devil fruit to Autumn Water, and the mouth that appeared on the blade swallowed the fruit in one bite, and then the blade gradually changed, with a faint pink color.

Yin——!

Qiu Shui turned into a pink baby dragon, stepping on auspicious clouds and making a childish dragon roar in the air.
