Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

While the world is in a commotion for ONE PIECE and One Piece, there is one place that remains calm.

The second half of the Grand Line, the ‘New World’ waters, Punk Hassad Island.

At this time, there was neither another gas explosion nor a battle between Akainu and Aokiji. There were no volcanoes, lava, icebergs, wind and snow on the island, and there was no large lake in the center.

At a glance, there are dense green jungles everywhere, and traces of prehistoric creatures and modern animals can be seen. This place is like the 'small garden' in the first half of the Grand Line, but the area is much larger than the former. And the species are also richer.

The former Naval Science Corps, now the research base of the Academy of Sciences, stands in this vast jungle. Because its height is much higher than the woods, you can see buildings similar to tall towers at a glance.

At the same time, in order to prevent wild creatures from entering, a partition wall and gate made of steel are built around the institute, which is covered with grids and pipes.

Soldiers in army uniforms stood guard and patrolled around with guns in hand.

The atmosphere of the entire institute seemed extremely serious, solemn and serious amidst the roars of beasts that came from time to time.

"The fusion of animal devil fruits and objects..."

In a research room filled with monitors, a middle-aged man, about two meters tall and slender, wearing a loose white coat, scanned the documents in his hand line by line with his glasses. Content.

He is Vegapunk, the current president of the Academy of Sciences and director of the Devil Fruit Research Institute.

"interesting."

This information was kept in a lockbox by members of CP6 and escorted over three hours ago. He originally thought it was a professional report by other researchers.

But when I looked at it, I found that the content was messy and not rigorous. There was no experimental data and it was all just conjectures.

It was just these seemingly random conjectures that caught his eye.

The first content is to inlay the sea tower stone in the bottom of the warship, and use the sea breath it emits to blind the sense of the sea king class, so that the warship can avoid the attack of the sea king class to the greatest extent, allowing it to sail smoothly in the windless zone.

In the original timeline, this was a technology he came up with nearly twenty years later. Now that he saw it in advance, it naturally aroused his interest.

But this alone is not enough to attract Vegapunk's attention.

The key is the following about the origin, essence, circulation mechanism of Devil Fruit, the relationship with bloodline factors, the vortex language similar to ability encoding, and the idea of ​​"eating" Devil Fruit for matter, which made him immersed in it for so long. reason.

These are also things that he will research in the future, and now they are equivalent to spoilers for his 'past' self.

"The animal-type devil fruit has its own bloodline factor. This is something I have only recently noticed. As for the will similar to the beast soul in it, I didn't expect..."

"But where did these world governments come from?" Vegapunk frowned and thought hard.

He did not believe that there were researchers who were more in-depth than himself in the field of bloodline factors and devil fruits. He was the first to discover bloodline factors.

Vegapunk continued to turn the pages and found that the content behind it had nothing to do with Devil Fruits.

Paddle wheels installed on both sides of warships, power plants that use sunlight, wind, and geothermal energy, as well as long-range missiles, satellites, and various conjectures about the Internet.

"Um?"

When I saw the last page, it turned out to be a picture of a relatively large humanoid robot that was spitting out bright yellow lasers. Various instructions and the rough manufacturing process were attached next to it.

This is a bit too general, but Vegapunk still keenly noticed the key words.

"Shape memory alloy with its own lineage factor, the human heart!"

To be honest, for a while, even he, who was said to have wisdom beyond human beings for five hundred years, was a little confused.

"Let me think about it, the animal type Devil Fruit has its own bloodline factor, so 'eating' the metal is equivalent to giving the metal a bloodline factor. Is this a shape memory alloy?"

Vegapunk always felt that something was wrong. He felt that this shape memory alloy should not be so easy to produce, but there was one thing that he recognized.

That is to 'eat' animal devil fruits for items, and maybe it's really possible to succeed!

He was going to start an experiment to see if a scientist's idea, no matter how outrageous, was feasible or not.

"Although this article is full of all kinds of unrigorous speculations, it did point me to a relatively clear research direction..."

This also makes Vegapunk's mood more complicated. He is now a little worried about whether the World Government has found a researcher who can replace him.

It's not that he has much affection for the World Government. After all, he was kidnapped by force, but he has to admit that he really has no scruples about research here. Whether it's money, equipment, or research materials, he can basically get as much as he wants. how many.

Devil Fruits, a secret treasure worth at least 100 million beli outside, could be transferred to five or six whenever he needed them!

"Hey, there's more?"

Just when he was about to pack up the documents, Vegapunk was surprised to find that there was another document envelope in the lockbox. He opened it and took it out, and his pupils suddenly trembled.

“Climate Improvement Plan for the Future Kingdom of Balkimoa!”

After reading the contents of the plan, his hands trembled a little. The world government was actually prepared to help him solve the extreme cold climate in his hometown.

According to the above statement, if necessary, the current generals can even be dispatched to replace Lieutenant General Akainu and Lieutenant General Kizaru, and use the awakening ability of the natural system to forcefully change the island climate of the future kingdom.

But if you do this, the ice and snow on the island will definitely melt rapidly due to sudden warming, leading to widespread floods. Therefore, you can consider moving the residents out in advance, and then dispatch the construction department to build the Balkimoa Island after the environment stabilizes. Building facilities required.

Vegapunk understands what the World Government means.

The latter is willing to use the greatest financial resources, manpower, technology, and even high-level combat power for his hometown, but he needs to personally plan how to do it. After all, he is the top in this aspect.

Of course, it’s no problem if he needs help from scholars in related fields. He just needs to make a list of the talents he wants!

"..."

Silence, a long silence, Vegapunk sat on the chair and looked at the document in his hand. He was very moved, but his reason was also telling him that this was a 'bribery' by the World Government.

So the question is, can a happy future in my hometown buy my own loyalty?

"Dr. Vegapunk, the CP6 ship has entered the port, and they have brought Bucky, the former intern of the Roger Pirates."

This is a report from the monitoring room.

"Bucky, is that the kid who is said to be very talented in explosives? Let's take him to the guest room to rest. Give him a day to get familiar with the environment here. We will start arranging a teacher for him the day after tomorrow."

To be honest, Vegapunk really has no interest in explosives, and he has no time to teach Bucky personally. Now he just wants to continue to invest in the research of devil fruits.

"yes."

"Also, bring me two animal-type Devil Fruits and two famous swords. I need them for experiments."

"yes!"
