Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 54 my daughter

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are a new system introduced by the World Government to balance the seas in response to the increasing number of pirates. In simple terms, they are legal pirates.

They have the legal right to plunder within a certain area, but they will not be wanted by the Navy. Moreover, not all of their members are pirates. Some members have reached an agreement with the World Government for special reasons, such as Hawkeye, the Navy hunter.

Unlike research units, which live under the constant watchful eye of the World Government, these units maintain certain connections with the World Government and can control funding.

That position is Oran's target, given the right opportunity.

However, not now. The system doesn't even exist yet, and all Oran can do is prepare for it.

After all, there are requirements for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. At the very least, one's reputation must be enough to intimidate most people. If one's own strength is weak, but one can make others think that one is strong and gather a group of people with considerable strength around one's side, that is also acceptable.

Oran still has plenty of time and energy to prepare.

June of 1489 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Two years after Oran and Vegapunk won the Iber Prize, during which time MADS research focused on lineage factors, and after two years of hard work, they finally achieved a breakthrough and mastered the secrets of lineage factors.

"Oran, are you sure you want to do this? A lot of this is the result of your hard work. Without you, I couldn't have completed this research so quickly."

"I'm sure this fame and fortune isn't what I want. On the contrary, it will bring me a lot of trouble. It would be better if I asked you to take the blame for the trouble caused by this empty fame."

Unlike Caesar and his group, who wanted to seize the results and demonstrate their importance in the research on lineage factors, Oran instead gave Vegapunk all the key findings.

"I understand. If you need, I can issue a public statement at any time to return your research results to you."

Vegapunk wouldn't embezzle research results; he seemed to be suggesting that a written agreement be drawn up.

"No need for all that trouble, I trust you. But Punk, I have to remind you, don't trust the people around you too much."

The news of the successful bloodline factor research was leaked before you announced it. It might have been Feld's people, or there might have been government agents on the ship, or even that guy Caesar.

Some things are better left unsaid.

The discovery of the results of the bloodline factor was rather sudden. If it weren't for the fact that only Oran and Vegapunk knew about some of the core results, they might be facing even more trouble now.

Thanks to that leaked, incomplete intelligence, the World Government believed that Vegapunk was the main researcher of the lineage factor, so it launched a forced recruitment of him, while not paying much attention to the others.

Oran's most crucial research projects have not yet been made public, and his reputation is mainly based on medical inventions. He is currently receiving slightly less attention than Vegapunk.

"These are the conditions from the World Government. I will be in charge of the Punk Hazard Research Institute from now on. Will you come and help me?"

"No, we've gotten along quite well these past few years, but it's time for us to part ways. We'll meet again once I've finished what I'm doing."

Vegapunk didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to his laboratory, while Oran also began to pack his things. Blitz had several large boxes behind him, filled with the results of his recent cultivation.

Frankenstein was holding a giant, yellowish-brown egg. Oran's earlier predictions had been wrong; the egg still hadn't met the conditions for hatching and remained just short of breaking open.

"Dad, are we leaving?"

Kate was holding the arm of a little girl with pink hair. The little girl was speaking in complete sentences, albeit haltingly. She was also carrying a package on her back. This was not child labor; she had chosen to do it herself.

Children often like to hold things themselves, trying to prove something. This is not difficult for her. Although she is only three years old this year, her physical fitness has already surpassed that of ordinary adults.

"That's right, we're moving to a new place, Riley."

Siddirell Leriana, one of Oran's greatest achievements in MADS, is a clone created from Charlotte Linlin's DNA. Oran currently treats her as his own daughter, and that is also the version of events he presents to the public.

Shortly after Oran and Vegapunk returned from Mary Geoise, the cloning experiment was successful, and Bakkin had already left the ship with a clone of Whitebeard, whom she called Edward Weevil's son.

The one on the ship who looks like her now is just her clone, Stusi.

"Oran, there's a special case. A variant has appeared among the fruits that Fran is taking care of. Look at this."

Kate took out a bunch of silver grapes from her bag, with circular patterns on them. Without a doubt, it had transformed from an ordinary honey fruit into a Devil Fruit.

"There's no record of it in our guidebook. What do you suggest we do with it?"

"Let's put it away for now; it'll come in handy sooner or later."

Devil Fruits can be randomly reborn in some corner of the world after the user dies. Any ordinary fruit has the potential to become a Devil Fruit. The mutation of the Honey Fruit is rather peculiar, but not entirely unexpected.

"These are the supplies we've collected. Oran, please check again to make sure you haven't forgotten anything."

Kate handed Oran a list, and as Oran checked the list, the door next to them was suddenly pushed open.

"Orlan! Come with me, the two of us are sure to achieve something great! With your help, Germa will definitely become the world's number one!"

The disbandment of MADS is a foregone conclusion, but the core members all have their own ideas. With the technology of bloodline factors, Judge believes that he can definitely restore the glory of the country.

Having worked together on research for several years, even with some reservations, he had come to realize Oran's abilities, especially if Oran was willing to help him.

"Oran! Come with me, the two of us can definitely do something great! With your help, Judge will be able to achieve great things!"

Before Oran could give Gadget an answer, time seemed to rewind, and the exact same voice came from outside the door, only this time it was Quinn speaking.

He had the same idea, but Quinn planned to become a pirate. Only then could he conduct his research without restraint. For the sake of future operations, he even wanted to drag Oran down with him.

While Judge and Queen were both trying to recruit Oran, a man in the corner revealed a sinister smile, as if he had achieved some kind of goal.

"Go ahead, all of you go. If you all leave, I'll be the undisputed second-in-command of this organization. Whoosh!"
