One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

Although Stussy was completely naked inside, she was curled up in a ball, so nothing that shouldn't be exposed was revealed.

Of course, even if he revealed himself, Giger wasn't interested; he was only interested in Stusi.

This woman is no ordinary person; she will become one of the most influential figures in the underworld in the future, possessing outstanding abilities.

That's what Giger valued.

He asked without turning his head.

When will she wake up?

Vegapunk answered immediately,

"It can happen anytime. I'm planning to wake her up in the next few days. If she can live a normal life, then it means the cloning experiment has been successful."

"Oh?"

With his back to Vegapunk, Zig narrowed his eyes and asked, as if casually,

"Could you clone a body for me and Uncle Garin as well? When our bodies age, we can take young organs from the clone and replace them with new ones. Wouldn't that allow us to live forever?"

Vegapunk, unsuspecting and with a serious attitude towards science, answered honestly.

"Doing this can prolong life, but immortality is impossible; the aging of the body is irreversible."

"Then why don't you research consciousness transfer and just replace the whole body?"

"I can't do that. Consciousness is too mysterious. At most, I can erase a part of the memories. Moreover, it's almost impossible to clone bodies like those of Saint Giger and Saint Garin."

"why?"

"Because your bloodline factors are too powerful, a pirate named Kaido was once captured here. Among the many test subjects sent here, none had a better body than his. I extracted his bloodline factors and tried to clone him, but no matter how many times I tried, it always ended in failure."

"Really? With your skill level, even if you had more time, you still wouldn't succeed?"

Vegapunk said firmly,

"The stronger the bloodline factor, the harder it is to clone. In the process of cloning Kaido, I couldn't even generate a complete life form. If the experimental material were weaker than Kaido, I might be able to clone it, but that wouldn't be a clone anymore. It would just be two completely different people compared to the original, and their intelligence would be extremely low."

"So, between me and Kaido, whose bloodline factor is stronger?"

“Naturally, it’s Saint Giger. The bloodline factors of the Figarando family are already top-notch, not to mention that you also have two other powerful bloodline factors in your body. Cloning you is simply an impossible task.”

"Oh, I see. That's truly a pity..."

Giger shrugged helplessly, seemingly genuinely disappointed.

However, neither Vegapunk nor Caesar noticed the faint black light that had just appeared on the back of Giger's right hand.

If Vegapunk just said he could give Zigclone a chance, then while he wouldn't die immediately, he certainly wouldn't live long.

Giger doesn't want several people to look exactly like him in the future; one Giger is enough for this world.

Chapter 108 Intimidation

Vegapunk's words are quite credible, because Kaido has been captured more than once, and Vegapunk must have extracted a lot of bloodline factors from him. But in the end, the manga only cloned Seraphim, who was based on the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

And then there's Big Mom, with her peculiar talent. The Navy has fought her so many times that they must have collected some of her blood samples. Giger doesn't believe the World Government hasn't tried to clone Big Mom.

The fact that no clones of her appeared later can only mean that the World Government failed to clone her.

As for the remaining one, Shanks, as the youngest of the Four Emperors, needs no further explanation regarding his talent.

But the white-bearded one...

Whitebeard's strength is beyond doubt, but in terms of physique, or so-called racial talent, Gigg thinks Whitebeard might actually be the weakest among the Four Emperors.

That is, it meets the condition that its bloodline factor is slightly weaker than Kaido's.

Especially what Vegapunk just mentioned—that even if they succeed, they will be "low-IQ" and "completely different people"—made Giger think of Weevil.

Miss Bakkin has been insisting that Weevil is Whitebeard's son, calling him Whitebeard II. Giger speculates that Weevil might be a clone of Whitebeard.

After all, Miss Bakkin was once a member of MADS, later joined the Rocks Pirates, and always followed Whitebeard. Obtaining Whitebeard's bloodline factor would have been incredibly easy for her.

She might even have directly obtained Whitebeard's essence. Well, Vegapunk could never have done that, since Whitebeard was never captured.

With cloning knowledge and valuable samples, it's possible for Miss Baggins to create a Weevil.

Based on this, Vegapunk's words seemed to make sense, and Giger temporarily abandoned his murderous intent.

Vegapunk was unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death. Since he was already in the lab, he decided to take a look at the equipment connected to the petri dishes. Looking at the data, he nodded and said...

“Stusi’s physical data are all normal. If you want to see her, you can wake her up now.”

Jiger thought for a moment and said,

"You just said she was soaked in it when she was a child. If she wakes up, wouldn't her intelligence be like that of a child?"

"No, there's a special device in this petri dish that periodically transmits knowledge to her brain. Her IQ is even higher than most adults, so she'd be perfectly fine as my assistant."

As he spoke, Vegapunk pressed a button, and a hood with numerous tubes inserted into it fell from the top of the petri dish—this was the special device he had mentioned.

Giger once again marveled at Vegapunk's research capabilities in his heart, but said aloud,

"Isn't it a waste to use such valuable material as just an assistant?"

"Well, actually, Satan wanted her to join CP0 because she not only has high intelligence, but also has a certain combat ability."

"So you agreed?"

Vegapunk gave a wry smile and said,

"This is a decision made by Saint Satan, and I can only agree to it."

Giger turned around, looking at Vegapunk with a half-smile, and asked,

"Really? But I don't think you're the type to compromise so easily. Didn't you do anything to this Stussy?"

This time, Vegapunk didn't seem so natural. He hesitated noticeably for a moment, then said with a hint of doubt,

【The World-weary Novel Transfer Station 94 83 27 8.0 0 】

"No, Jigsang, what do you suspect I did?"

"Hehe, let me guess, like, subconsciously making her prioritize you?"

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk's expression froze, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his large forehead.

Giger slowly walked up to him, placed his hand on his shoulder, and leaned down to whisper,

"Vegapunk, you're still a bit dishonest. If someone like that were to infiltrate CP0, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for you to obtain World Government secrets once she gains a certain position?"

An aura of pressure emanated from Zig, causing Vegapunk's body to tremble. Zig continued,

“You are a scientist, and I admire your abilities and know that you have a strong thirst for knowledge. But there are some things you are better off not knowing. It would be such a pity if you lost your life because of it. And even if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your hometown, don’t you think?”

Vegapunk gritted his teeth and nodded, saying,

“I understand. I will explain to Satan Saint that Stussy will not be allowed into CP0.”

"No need. As you just said, Stussy is indeed a good candidate for espionage. You just need to change the person she is loyal to."

"You mean you want her to pledge allegiance to the World Government?"

"She has too many people to be loyal to. There's no need for that. Just make her loyal only to me. Can you do that?"

"......able!"

Seeing that Vegapunk had agreed, Zig smiled with satisfaction, but he still couldn't trust Vegapunk so easily.

Giger doesn't understand scientific research, but isn't there Caesar next to him?

Caesar had always been dissatisfied with Vegapunk, making him a perfect candidate for being manipulated by Giger.

Giger glanced at Caesar, who was still covering his mouth, and said calmly,

"You heard what happened just now, so you should know how to modify the instructions, right?"

Caesar nodded vigorously, and Giggs then spoke.

"You will be in charge of overseeing Vegapunk's work. If the results are satisfactory, I will entrust Satan Saint to allocate a large sum of research funds to you and put you in charge of more affairs within the research institute."

Caesar was overjoyed upon hearing this, while Vegapunk looked gloomy. He simply couldn't understand how Gig, who had never been to the research institute, knew about this matter when he had been so discreet that even Satan didn't know.

However, Giger knew far more than he imagined.

“Vegapunk, I also want you to implant a chip in Stussy. Hmm, let’s call it the authoritarian chip. The requirement is that it sets me to the only authoritarian level. That shouldn’t be difficult for you, right?”

Vegapunk was already numb to it. He had long anticipated the authoritarian chip that Giger mentioned and had already begun developing it.

He nodded stiffly, and Giger was finally completely satisfied. He gave Caesar a few more instructions, telling him to also pay attention to the research on the authoritarian chip, and then walked out of the laboratory.

As he passed Vegapunk, Giger said with a smile,

"Let's go, give me a medical check-up. I have some things I need to know."

Chapter 109 Initial Awakening

Upon arriving at Vegapunk's private laboratory, Giger glanced at Caesar, who had followed him, and said,

"You don't need to come in."

Upon hearing this, Caesar immediately stopped and watched as Giger and Vegapunk entered the laboratory.
