Pirate: Son-in-law, I’m determined!

Institute reception room.

Vegapunk was sitting on the sofa, his giant head almost reaching the ceiling, making it very inconvenient to move.

Lu Yun couldn't help but complain: "Doctor, it's only been two years since I last saw you, and your head has gotten bigger again!"

"I'm very troubled too!"

Vegapunk was tongue-tied and had a headache because of his big head, but he had already made a plan.

"I was about to cut it off."

"Ah, can it be cut off?"

The girl with glasses widened her eyes.

"Of course. This research institute was built to store my brain, and I also plan to make a few clones so that future research doesn't have to be so hard."

Vegapunk revealed his plan without reservation. He looked at Loya with excitement and inquiry in his eyes.

"Black-haired Lieutenant General, I heard Lu Yun mentioned your ability, can you show it to me?"

"Can."

Loya pulled out the rain cutter and slashed his arm.

Soon, a transparent light emerged from the wound, and the rolled flesh and blood went back in time visible to the naked eye, returning to the state before the injury.

Regarding the time power contained in the world, he asked Lu Yun to tell Bega Punk. If he wanted to get Bega Punk's assistance, he had to show some sincerity.

He also wanted to find ways to use the world.

In addition, Vegapunk is trustworthy. After a hundred years of research, this old man will push himself against the world government sooner or later.

"What a power of time!"

Vegapunk stared at Loya's arm, extremely excited.

Time is the domain of "God"!

I don't know how many scientists want to understand the mystery of time. He is the same, but he has no clue at all.

According to his guess, there might be some esper among Loya's parents or ancestors who ate the Fruit of Time, and passed down the ability through blood.

The probability of this is extremely slim.

But judging from a scientific perspective, anything is possible.

Vegapunk took out a lot of strange instruments and looked at Loya with sparkling eyes, like a pirate seeing a treasure.

"Can you do it again?"

"."

"It's amazing, do it again!"

"."

"Come again!"

"Be careful, I'll beat you up, Big Head!"

Luo Ya's face turned black. Did he think it wouldn't hurt if he bled himself?

"Sorry, sorry!"

Vegapunk apologized quickly.

Loya sighed and asked: "Is there a way to actively control this power?"

"We don't know yet, but if we want to control the power of time to affect the real world, even if it's just a brief stagnation for a second, I'm afraid it will require unimaginable energy."

Vegapunk couldn't be sure, this was the first time he'd seen the power of time, and it took careful study to come to a conclusion.

"The black-haired Lieutenant General, you came here this time for the Devil Fruit, right?"

"That's right."

Loya nodded and expressed his thoughts, but did not specify Xiang Lei. If there were other top fruits, he would be able to accept them.

Vegapunk thought for a moment.

"I have not conducted experiments on transferring abilities, but in theory it can be done. It just requires spending some energy on research."

"No matter how special the fruit is, as long as you are willing to spend money and time, it should be possible to reproduce it."

"By the way, if what you want is animal-type abilities, I can help you now. I can currently reproduce animal-type devil fruits, and I also have a lot of information on animal-type abilities."

Vegapunk took out something similar to a tablet and handed it to Loya, which recorded a large amount of animal devil fruit data.

Luo Ya looked at the tablet and his eyes changed.

According to Vegapunk's words, he can create copies of any abilities recorded in the tablet, and he can choose them at will.

There are hundreds of species at least, covering almost all common animal categories, and even phantom species.

Never had such a rich battle been fought!

Is this the strongest genius?

Devil Fruits, which ordinary people will never see in their lifetime, are just toys that are readily available to Vegapunk.

"The Fruit of the Blue Dragon!"

Luo Ya saw the Azure Dragon Fruit and couldn't help but ask: "What are the conditions required to create the Azure Dragon Fruit?"

"Twenty years, plus more than 10 billion Baileys in research and development funds."

"."

Loya fell silent.

Forget it, just pretend he didn't ask.

Vegapunk's ruthless last-ditch attack: "Even for ordinary animal abilities, it would take several months and at least 100 million Baileys to reproduce them."

"Fine."

Loya felt toothache.

No wonder Vegapunk has mature enough technology, but the World Government has no idea of ​​mass-producing Devil Fruits.

It's too time and money consuming.

In comparison, it is obviously more cost-effective to create obedient pacifists, and their combat effectiveness is guaranteed.

There was another thing that concerned him.

Wake up!

If the replica cannot be awakened, its potential will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Then you have to weigh whether to eat Punk Hassad's Blue Dragon Fruit.

After all, the copy is not as good as the original, and I don’t know if there are other defects. You only have one chance to eat the fruit in your life, so you must consider it carefully.

Luo Ya frowned and asked in a solemn voice: "Then how long will the transfer ability experiment take?"

"Wait a mininute."

Vegapunk wrote and drew on paper, and quickly came to the conclusion: "It will take about a year, plus 3 billion beli R\u0026D funds. Sorry, I still have many experimental projects on hand and cannot devote all my energy to this." aspect."

"I can understand."

Loya understands.

It was impossible for Vegapunk to conduct experiments specifically for him, so being able to use his spare time to help him was an act of kindness.

If it weren't for his special body that interested Vegapunk, he probably wouldn't have wasted time talking to him.

Also, he understands that scientific research consumes money, but is 3 billion Bailey too much? Where can he get so much money?

Make money! Make money! Make money!

Since joining the Navy, Loya has never worried about money. This is the first time he has thought about making money.

You will regret having less money when it comes to use!

Loya thought about it and looked at Vegapunk's big head. Logically speaking, Vegapunk's mind should be top-notch if he was engaged in business.

"Dr. Vegapunk, you just said you wanted to cut off the head and create a clone, right?"

"Yes, my head has seriously affected my daily activities."

Vegapunk didn't deny it.

He plans to undergo separation surgery in the near future, and the clones have been cultivated and can be put into use at any time.

Loya suggested: "Dr. Vegapunk, scientific research requires massive funds. Have you ever considered creating a clone specifically responsible for making money?"

"make money?"

Vegapunk was stunned for a moment.

He really hadn't thought about it. The research institute's funds were all obtained from the World Government. Although it was still seriously insufficient, he didn't need to worry about it.

Makes sense.

If there were sufficient funds, many of his personal ideas would be possible to realize, otherwise he would be too constrained by the world government.

"One more thing, Dr. Vegapunk."

Luo Ya narrowed his eyes: "I wonder if your clone has independent thoughts?"

"Of course, my avatar will be composed of different elements of me, and the personality and division of labor will be different. This way, it will be easier to create sparks in scientific research!"

Vegapunk had already planned it.

Loya said meaningfully: "Since you have independent thoughts, have you considered the possibility of betrayal by your avatar?"

"After all, scientific research is a very dangerous thing. If you touch something you shouldn't know, it is necessary to take insurance in advance, right?"

"."

Vegapunk stared at Loya.

The dark-haired lieutenant general seemed to know a lot.

"Thank you, I will seriously consider your suggestion, black-haired Lieutenant General."
