Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 31 The Great Crisis

It's a seller's market now, and unless Barkin walks into a trap and seeks cooperation with the World Government, she won't find anyone else who can do it.

"You want Lingling's DNA?"

"That's right. Since you collected the white beard, the other members should have it too."

Given your personality, I think you would have made more than one contingency plan.

In Oran's view, Bakkin is essentially a treasure trove, capable of yielding many valuable items. Having once mingled on the Rocks ship, she came into contact with numerous powerful individuals, which gave her the opportunity to acquire things that others did not possess.

Oran didn't know whether Bakkin had a sample of Charlotte Linlin, but that didn't stop him from giving it a try.

"You're lucky. I do have her sample here. I don't have anyone else's sample if you want one."

But as a woman myself, I also had some opportunities to meet Charlotte Linlin.

"In other words, you agree."

"Of course, my target is Newgate. You can have hers if you're interested."

In Bakkin's mind, Whitebeard was the most powerful one.

Oran, however, did not think so. After the establishment of the Four Emperors, there were three men and one woman among the four sea emperors.

Known as the world's strongest man, Whitebeard has been adventuring in the open sea since childhood, experiencing countless battles, and finally making a name for himself.

Kaido was also born in a non-affiliated country and grew up on the battlefield. He matured through countless battles and was recruited by Rocks. He also gained the favor of Charlotte Linlin. With the giant's techniques and the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Charlotte Linlin provided Kaido with a lot of help.

Shanks was Roger's apprentice and learned a lot from him.

Their strength is traceable, and they have all undergone a lot of training, except for Charlotte Linlin, who is special.

Abandoned at a young age, she received no systematic education and her only hobby was eating. Yet, despite this, she went berserk and killed an old hero of the giant race when she was young.

Although the giant was much weaker due to his old age, he was still not someone an ordinary child could defeat.

He was later discovered by Longbread and embarked on the path of a pirate.

Not long after she came of age, Charlotte Linlin began a life of childbirth, eventually giving birth to a pirate crew.

Without much training and wasting a lot of time on childbirth, Charlotte Linlin's ability to become one of the Four Emperors is almost entirely due to her talent.

In terms of six-dimensional attributes and potential, she is the highest.

To survive on this vast ocean, top-notch personal combat skills are indispensable. For the future, Oran needs such a strong force. Bakkin has presented him with this opportunity, and he will naturally not let it slip away.

"Such an imposing cultivation method."

Having survived on Rocks' ship, Bakkin was no weakling to begin with, not to mention having Whitebeard as her boyfriend. Oran was certain that Bakkin must have mastered Whitebeard's domineering techniques.

Given Whitebeard's personality, he would never be stingy with someone he considers family.

"A domineering cultivation method isn't a problem, but I can't guarantee what kind of results you'll achieve."

This is the first half of the Grand Line, where the popularity of Haki is still relatively low, but as we continue sailing forward, the number of people who know Haki will gradually increase.

Whitebeard was strong, but his domineering aura did not surpass the domineering aura of the sea.

Whitebeard's strength lies in himself; even if one obtains this cultivation method, it is not certain that another Whitebeard can be replicated.

At least, Bakkin's domineering presence is nowhere near that of Whitebeard; in fact, there's a significant gap between them.

Bakkin knew very well what two top scientists could do, so while the value of the domineering aura was currently even higher, she didn't mind using it to gain more benefits.

"Then you don't need to worry about it."

Domineering aura isn't some kind of internal energy cultivation technique that can lead to demonic possession. The essence of cultivating domineering aura is to stimulate one's inner potential through physical training.

Of course, having Whitebeard's insights can save you a lot of trouble, especially in advancing your Haki. If you try to figure it out on your own, you might not even realize how to use advanced Haki for several years.

With a good teacher, you might be able to break through in just a few days. Even if you encounter a mediocre teacher, spending two years building a foundation can make you much stronger.

"It looks like our cooperation has been successful, so I'll just stay on the ship and mooch meals for the rest of the time."

Bakkin needs to wait for her results to be completed, and she also has some special requirements. For example, she needs a Whitebeard who can be better controlled. He doesn't need to be very smart, just have the same potential as the Whitebeard.

After the transaction was completed, MADS had one more person freeloading on board. Caesar and Quinn didn't have any objections. As long as it wasn't someone like Oran who needed to take a large share of research funding, it wouldn't affect them much.

However, they also knew that Vegapunk and Oran had started a project targeting clones, and Judge was quite interested in it, having the idea of ​​using a large number of clone soldiers to revitalize the Germa Kingdom.

Oran and his colleagues' research activities continued, and the experiment of filtering P particles was not put on hold. At the same time, Oran's improvements to the Hextech Core also entered the experimental stage.

Of the Hextech Cores he brought with him, one was used as Blitzcrank's core, another was used to treat Cate's heart, and he still had three left.

These three samples are unique until similar substances and new synthesis methods are found, but this does not affect the conduct of certain experiments.

Nowadays, members of MADS are starting to focus on the research of Devil Fruits.

Vegapunk's origin hypothesis: Caesar began experimenting with Devil Fruit replication, and Judge wanted to apply Devil Fruit abilities to mass-cloned soldiers.

Queen seems to have been spurred on by Kite and has begun to modify his own body, while Oran is trying to fuse the Hextech Core with a Devil Fruit to explore a new way of powering his energy.

In Oran's private laboratory, a metal humanoid skeleton was taking shape, with a special sphere beside it. But at that moment, Vegapunk's voice came from the radio.

"Everyone, please pause your research and come to the conference room. We've encountered a new problem."

The ordinary researchers continued to work, knowing that Vegapunk wasn't calling for them, but for the core members.

"Vegapunk, what are you doing? My research was at a crucial stage, and if you hadn't interrupted me, I would have succeeded!"

Caesar swore as he walked in, but Vegapunk remained completely unfazed; it was clear the other man wanted more funding.

The rest of the group gradually arrived. When Oran was the last to arrive, Vegapunk nodded and said with a serious expression, "Gentlemen, we may be facing the biggest crisis in the history of MADS. We're... broke!"

"ha?!"
