Pirate of Darkness

Apart from those chores, Mingge is most concerned about the research on artificial devil fruits.

Just as he guessed, the two or three years that Caesar claimed were not enough at all, and it has now taken more than four years for the results to appear.

This has to be said to be good news. Among the hundreds of newly born artificial Devil Fruits, a finished product has finally appeared. This is a breakthrough from zero to one.

Ming Ge immediately put down what he was doing and came to Greenbit, an isolated island north of Dressrosa.

The steel suspension bridge has basically been damaged. In order to prevent people from crossing the suspension bridge to Greenbit, the suspension bridge "accidentally" collapsed three years ago. It is said that it was caused by the frequent attacks of violent fighting fish.

Only a small part of the entire long suspension bridge remains.

In four years, the Greenbit Underground Research Institute has undergone major changes, and its scale has expanded several times.

Factories dedicated to cultivating artificial devil fruits have been established on the island and in parts of Dressrosade, and there are small humans working hard inside.

"Boohoo! Tenyaksha, you're finally here!" This genius scientist with the blood of the ghost clan, his body maintained partial elementalization, flew in the air, and greeted Doflamingo excitedly .

"Baboon, baboon! Let me see your masterpiece, Caesar!" Brother Ming put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Caesar with a step that he didn't recognize, his eyes shining with anticipation.

"No problem, come over, but you have to wait a moment. After I record some data on the artificial devil fruit, I can officially test its effect."

"The experiment has been prepared a long time ago, it's the one you designated before."

This is indeed a masterpiece, a masterpiece that spans the ages. Ming Ge's words were very helpful to Caesar. He quickly returned to his laboratory. The most eye-catching thing was an apple with a ring pattern.

In addition, there are a bunch of failed products on one side. These failed products also have a lot of effects. They have side effects that can deprive a person of emotions and can only smile, so Doflamingo named it "smile".

This kind of fruit, as a product, is very popular in the underground world. It is even more popular because of its cruelty, and demand exceeds supply.

After spending some time, Caesar recorded some data. Brother Ming didn't understand these data, but he was willing to wait.

He knew clearly in his heart,

This is still a failure, but it should initially achieve the desired effect. There will definitely be areas for improvement in the future.

At least the production success rate needs to be increased. Only one finished product can be produced from hundreds of artificial Devil Fruits. This number is really too low.

"It's time to start, bring the experiment here." Caesar said to Monet on the side. Monet is his assistant for the time being. Doflamingo is not really at ease with Caesar. Monet's existence means that he will monitor Caesar. role.

Although she lost the Snow Fruit, Doflamingo found her a powerful Devil Fruit, the phantom beast-harpy form. Among the phantom beasts, its level is about the same as that of a gryphon, so it is considered ordinary. Phantom species.

After glancing at Brother Ming and receiving his confirmation, Monet walked out of the laboratory and soon brought over a young man with a broken arm.

Seeing Doflamingo, the young man became obviously excited. His body trembled, and he bowed his head in front of Doflamingo and said respectfully, "Young Master!"

"Are you ready? Connor."

"Well, even the sacrifice is worth it." The young man named Connor said seriously.

Connor was Doflamingo's subordinate and was expanding the Don Quixote family. Connor broke his arm in a war.

With Brother Ming's financial resources, he can definitely buy him a robotic hand and give him a new lease of life. In Dressrosa, there are many members of the Don Quixote family who have robotic hands.

Just in time for this, Connor was asked to be the first experimental subject to test the effects of artificial devil fruits.

Since it is a finished product, it must be effective, and Ming Ge naturally hopes to let his own people eat it.

In the center of the laboratory, there was a huge cylindrical container, and Connor was standing inside, holding an artificial devil fruit in one hand.

"Eat it and maybe your broken arm will be restored."

Connor was already prepared, and without much hesitation, he directly put the artificial devil fruit into his mouth.

It made a crisp sound like eating fruit. Although it looked like an apple, there was no core. Even if it was artificial, it was still a devil fruit.

"Gudong, gudong!"

After eating the artificial Devil Fruit, Connor felt his heart beating rapidly. The next moment, he rolled his eyes and suddenly felt severe pain all over his body.

Compared to the easy and painless changes that Devil Fruits can bring to the human body, artificial Devil Fruits are somewhat violent in their genetic modification, which is equivalent to erosion and covering.

At present, such genetic modification pain cannot be weakened, and subsequent changes may be needed.

The erosion of human genes by animal blood factors cannot be eliminated, which also means that this change is irreversible and cannot return to its original form like normal animal-type ability users.

This is a normal thing. How to make the genetic modification of human body by artificial devil fruits change between dominant and recessive. This is the reason why artificial animal devil fruits can be compared with real devil fruits.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the pain made Connor keep tapping the surrounding glass cover, as if this could release some of the pain in his body.

"Uh ah..." Connor endured the pain, but couldn't help but screamed.

The nails were broken due to excessive force, and blood continued to flow out.

Doflamingo's eyes shone with information, and he could clearly feel that Connor's aura was strengthening.

The injury on the hand is healing quickly and the bleeding has stopped quickly, although it may not be obvious.

But this means that no matter what the final effect is, the artificial devil fruit is indeed a success. This is a beginning that gives him more expectations for the next step.

What's even more surprising is that Connor's broken arm began to grow granulation, and it continued to heal, as if it wanted to grow a new arm.

His body had changed, and the skin on his lower body began to change, turning green and growing scales.

There is an unknown bulge on the buttocks, as if something is about to grow, it is a tail.

Connor's broken arm will likely grow back.

"What animal abilities has he gained?" Ming Ge looked at the excited Caesar.

Artificial Devil Fruit contains the blood factors of various animals, so the specific animal it will turn into is actually random and no one can predict it, unless the blood factors of specific animals can be used to make artificial Devil Fruits.

"With such regenerative ability, it is likely that he is a lizard, which is just right for him." Caesar has been studying artificial animal devil fruits for a long time. He can barely be regarded as an animal expert. Combined with Connor's characteristics, he can guess it.

After a long time, the changes on his body were obvious. A lizard tail grew out of his lower body, and scales grew at the same time. His broken right arm turned into a lizard's arm.

But other places have not changed and remain the same.

"Can it only be partially transformed into an animal?" This is an irreversible change, Brother Ming knows, but why is only part of the body transformed into the animal system? This made him a little confused.

"Well, the body will instinctively resist the erosion of the human body by animal blood factors. The genes will be consumed during the transformation and fusion process. This is also the reason why the human body transformation is incomplete. This is difficult to change."

"Unless the animal nature of the animal blood factor can be made peaceful and accepted by the human body, the erosion intensity will decrease, which will be somewhat contradictory, but the final effect will still be about the same."

"I think the effect is OK. The next step is to make detailed changes and then find ways to increase production."

Having completed the first step, Caesar was full of confidence.

This change did not take long, only two or three minutes. Connor had already recovered, feeling the changes in his body, looking at his lizard arms, and controlling the movement of his tail.

Despite the physical changes, he felt empowered.

The lizard's genes may not be able to give him such a large increase, and at most they can give him the ability to regenerate, but the genes of various other animals are not useless.

After the lizard gene becomes dominant, other genes will turn into energy to supplement and enhance the lizard gene.

Only in this way can there be a direct enhancement effect on the animal system, otherwise there would be no need to research artificial devil fruits.

The raw materials for making artificial devil fruits are the blood factors of various animals, which have been essentially integrated into one after special processing.

"Do you feel okay? Connor?" Brother Ming asked "kindly". This is his first man-made Devil Fruit user, and he is still very good to his subordinates.

"Very good, young master, his consciousness has not been affected."

Before conducting the experiment, Caesar also gave him some instructions.

"Okay, you can come out now. Let's check the physical data next." Caesar was not worried about whether Connor would lose control. With Doflamingo beside him, any accident could be easily handled.

After pressing a button, the glass cover opened and Connor walked out.

After some testing, Connor's strength has been significantly enhanced.

Whether it's physical strength or resilience, this is the increase in artificial devil fruit, and it's not weak.

But it doesn't have the potential to be as powerful as a real animal-type Devil Fruit, and the amplification effect isn't that strong either.

This is a one-time increase that cannot be developed. If you want to become stronger and continue to become stronger, you need to rely on your own efforts.

The effect is gratifying. According to Brother Ming's guess, Connor's combat power has increased from the original bounty of almost 50 million to 100 million Baileys.

This is already a huge improvement. Of course, the most valuable thing is the improvement in vitality and resilience. Overall, it is not a problem to increase the bounty by another 20 million.

If artificial devil fruits could be mass-produced, he would be able to obtain a large number of warriors.

Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million are already the backbone of the sea.

"How about the research of artificial devil fruits by the Night Pirates and the Beast Pirates?" Caesar couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, the progress should be good, but the artificial devil fruit they are researching will definitely be more complete than what we are going to study, and they will have more funds and a larger scale than us. If it appears by then, we will definitely be able to see it. .”

Even though Doflamingo has great hands and eyes now, it is difficult for him to get involved in the core secrets of the Beast Pirates and the Night Pirates, and he even doesn't know much about the situation inside the territory.

Although Doflamingo is the dark king of the underground world, he is even several levels higher than many kings.

But everyone knows that the real king of the New World Underground is the Night Pirates.

The only ones he knew some information about were the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Now, since the research is successful, prepare to increase the success rate, baboon, baboon." Brother Ming smiled excitedly. The successful research on artificial devil fruits gave him sufficient confidence.

He knew that the World Government was researching a secret weapon, a weapon with powerful combat power that could even change the world structure.

He had been researching it for quite some time, and before he left the research base, he asked Vegapunk to start researching it.

Therefore, I also know a little bit of information. The man-made weapons project called "Pacifist" contains blood factor technology, has simple intelligence, and can perform analytical activities.

Intelligence itself is one of the difficulties, but the Night Pirates have researched this aspect early. The research team of the World Government has studied some life mechanical creations, and the "pacifist" intelligence progress has also improved a lot. .

Next, the pacifists' research direction is in terms of destructive power. Loaded with various capabilities such as lasers, artillery shells, ejections, etc., this is a perfect war machine, in the imagination of the world government.

Lasers were developed early. The difficulty is that continuous combat requires sufficient energy. Seastone is also an important material for pacifist construction. This is why the World Government urgently wants the Wano Seastone Mine.

Now that the Night Pirates have occupied the Sea Tower Mine, Wano can only find ways to obtain the Sea Tower Stone from other places, the underground black market, or trade between them, but not with the Night Pirates.

The trade of sea floor stones is a normal thing. The world government has many ways to obtain sea floor stones, but it may be more troublesome and cost more money.

In order to study pacifists, the world government has invested a lot of money.

In addition to lasers, the research team led by Vegapunk is conquering blood factor technology to allow pacifists to obtain the bear's meat ball fruit ability.

Or let the pacifist be able to use bear moves.

This is the most critical point.

Doflamingo cooperated with the World Government and learned a lot of information. He also wanted to show his power so that Doflamingo could better lean on their side.

Compared with the increase in pirate power, the World Government's research on pacifists has also progressed much faster.

This is all forced.

Doflamingo knew that within two to three years at most, or as short as one or two years, the Pacifists would complete their research and put it into use.

Originally he was a little worried, but now, with the emergence of artificial devil fruits, he no longer has such thoughts.

He has already completed it. The Night Pirates and the Beast Pirates will definitely not take a few years, and they may have developed artificial devil fruits.

But this is what makes it interesting, the counterattack of the world government and navy, the so-called pacifists.
