Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 380 The Epoch-Making [Green Blood]!

Punk Hazard, Research Institute One.

Vegapunk's eyes lit up when he saw the Pirate Emperor being dragged into the laboratory by Storm.

"Kaido of the Beasts? Where did he come from?!"

Upon hearing this, Sentomaru, whose round, chubby face was practically splitting with surprise, couldn't help but glance at Vegapunk.

Uncle Punk, what's with that tone you're using, like you've just discovered something new in a store?

This is the Pirate Emperor!

Kaido of the Beasts, who rivals the White Dragon Emperor!

Sentomaru is practically living in Bengbu now.

"Didn't you notice?"

Storm paused for a moment, then offered a casual explanation.

"He offered himself up."

"very nice.-..-

Vegapunk said with obvious envy.

"I wish I could be that lucky."

"Rare and unique experimental materials are delivered to my doorstep—I'd love to experience something like that too!"

That's what I meant—

Storm looked at Vegapunk speechlessly.

Even if Kaido of the Beasts were to actually deliver himself to your doorstep, would you have the ability to capture him?

Sentomaru found the conversation between the two "super big shots" next to him utterly unacceptable.

He silently left the laboratory and quickly brought back the highest purity seastone chains, which directly bound Kaido of the Beasts into a huge, black "iron dumpling".

Punk Hazard, as a cutting-edge scientific research island, has no shortage of things like "Seastone".

Storm gave Sentomaru an approving look.

Although he felt that it was not very necessary to put "seastone chains" on Kaido of the Beasts.

But this is Sentomaru taking initiative; he's a good young man who works hard.

Storm likes honest, hardworking people like that.

Vegapunk looked at the bound Kaido of the Beasts and couldn't help but squat down, reaching out his palm to grope the latter's head and horns, while a rather suspicious drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"All beasts—hehe—.·Azure Dragon—Ghost Clan.—hehe.—"

Because Vegapunk's "world's greatest brain" had already been cut off by Law using the power of the "Op-Op Fruit".

Therefore, his physical burden was greatly reduced, and he could move around as easily and freely as an ordinary elderly person.

But that expression... it really doesn't look like that of a normal scientist. "Dr. Vegapunk! Manners! Mind your manners!"

Storm, seeing the infatuated look on Old Berlusconi's face, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and shouted loudly.

"Scientists, don't be so twisted."

Among the top ocean scientists that Storm knew.

Aside from the brief appearance of "Dr. Tsukimi".

Vegapunk is arguably the most normal one.

Every single other scientist is a freak!

But Storm didn't expect that either.

Vegapunk wasn't devoid of madness; he was just not obviously so.

That's unbelievable!

"Ahem!"

Vegapunk was brought back to his senses by Storm's shouts and couldn't help but raise his hand and cough heavily twice, actually trying to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Um, what, Storm, you just—[Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit], yes! That's it!"

"I happen to have some inspiration regarding the development of Devil Fruits, and I'd like to share it with you."

Storm suspected that Vegapunk was deliberately changing the subject, but he had no evidence.

After all, he wasn't a scientist, nor did he have the authority to monitor the internal research projects of Research Institute No. 1 around the clock.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a forced, insincere smile.

"Doctor, please begin your presentation."

"A speech? That's too much of an exaggeration—"

Vegapunk shook his head and said solemnly.

"Actually, we have recently made a minor breakthrough in the research of [bloodline factor technology]."

"I've discovered that the main power of Devil Fruits is concentrated in their lineage factors."

"This means that if lineage factors can be replicated, then the power of Devil Fruits can be replicated."

Storm nodded calmly.

He knew about this too!

However, knowing is one thing, and actually doing it is another.

Does Vinsmoke Judge not know about [bloodline factor technology]?

However, his actual skill level is far inferior to Vegapunk's!

"Wait a minute!"

As Vegapunk got into the conversation, he suddenly turned around, rummaged through the storage box in the laboratory, and finally came back with a glass test tube.

Inside that transparent glass test tube was a bright green, unknown solution.

"This is my latest invention!"

Storm looked at the solution, then at Vegapunk, recalling the previous topic, and tentatively asked.

"This is—a man-made, liquid Devil Fruit?"

"Uh, it's not that exaggerated—"

Vegapunk shook his head, then immediately explained.

"This is the [Egg Fruit Solution] that I cloned from Baron Egg's bloodline factor. I haven't done any specific experiments yet."

"However, according to my theoretical calculations, a creature that drinks this [Egg-Egg Fruit Solution] can gain the power of the [Egg-Egg Fruit] for a short period of time until the power of the solution is completely exhausted."

Storm blinked; this time he really understood.

It's not a "Devil Fruit".

It's actually a [Devil Fruit Temporary Trial Card]!

This thing...

Storm looked again at the Egg-Egg Fruit Solution in Vegapunk's hand.

Isn't this the future "Green Blood"?

Among Vegapunk's many groundbreaking inventions.

The existence of [Green Blood] is undoubtedly extremely explosive.

Just as Vegapunk described.

【Green Blood】is a special solution containing the power of bloodline factors.

In the future, Vegapunk used the members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a template to create the highly sophisticated super robot "Seraph," whose strength surpasses that of ordinary Seven Warlords of the Sea.

All we need to do is inject this green blood into the body of the Seraph.

This would allow the [Seraph] to obtain the corresponding Devil Fruit ability.

For example, the Seraph Jinbe (S. Shark) who replicated the power of the Water-Water Fruit — "

The arm is like a replica of the power of the [Slash-Slash Fruit], [Seraph Hawkeye (S. Hawk)] — "

There are even Seraph Boa Hancock (S-rank Snake) who replicates the power of the Love-Love Fruit, and Seraph Tyrant (S-rank Kuma) who replicates the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit.

Especially the latter two.

It's almost a faithful recreation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

No.

It should be said that it surpasses the original Seven Warlords of the Sea!

of course.

Even in the future version of "Green Blood", it will still have flaws.

The drawback of [Green Blood] is that its usage time is limited.

The "ability experience time" that a fixed unit of [Green Blood] can provide is also limited.

After being injected with Green Blood, Seraph needs to be "recharged" regularly to maintain her abilities.

Also.

The inherent flaws of Devil Fruits are also reflected in [Green Blood].

It is afraid of the ocean and afraid of keratin particles.

But no matter what you say.

The invention of [Green Blood] is definitely a groundbreaking creation!

Storm completely ignored Vegapunk's mention of "Baron Egg."

That Egg Baron who can evolve in three stages—followed by "Chicken Viscount" and "Rooster Earl"—was already given to Vegapunk as research material.

Storm merely glanced at Kaido of the Beasts beside him.

If he remembers correctly.

The bloodline factors contained in 【Green Blood】 come from only two sources.

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user.

Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.

As for Logia-type Devil Fruits, even Vegapunk four or five years later was unable to extract their bloodline factors.

But it is not important.

The important thing is that Kaido of the Beasts is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user!

The so-called "Mythical Zoan" is a fantasy creature that combines the physique of an "Animal" type with the abilities of a "Paramecia" type.

Vegapunk can extract bloodline factors from Zoan and Paramecia Devil Fruits to create "Green Blood".

This also means that he can definitely create [Green Blood] containing the power of Mythical Beasts!

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Storm clapped his hands and laughed, then pressed for an answer.

"In that case, how many [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruits] can Kaido of the Beasts create, and how much [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution] can he produce?"

Storm was still concerned about the [Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit].

Aside from the basic manufacturing costs, he could obtain an eight-star Devil Fruit without investing any extra effort!

As for the [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution]...

That's pretty impressive.

"Theoretically speaking, Kaido of the Beasts is right here. As long as we can keep extracting his bloodline factors, we can keep creating artificial Azure Dragon Fruits. As for Azure Dragon Fruit solutions, that's even simpler."

Vegapunk thought for a moment and then spoke seriously.

"However, artificial Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits, as well as Devil Fruit solutions, are very expensive."

"Although we have previous manufacturing experience, which allows us to save on initial research and development investment this time, each [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] is still very expensive."

"In short, we need to pay more."

"It's okay!"

Storm waved his hand dismissively.

"The Golden Emperor will connect with you!"

The entire dark world, along with the wealth of the three Emperor pirate crews: the Big Mom Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates...

Storm has so much money he can't even count it all!

It's just for Vegapunk's research, nothing special.

Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Storm's promise.

As long as you pay, everything is negotiable.

Science requires continuous investment to develop!

Hmm—it could also be "regression"?

Storm had Vegapunk collect a considerable amount of "materials" containing bloodline factors from Kaido of the Beasts.

He did not intend to imprison Kaido of the Beasts on Punk Hazard.

This azure dragon has extensive "prison break experience".

If Storm remembers correctly.

Kaido of the Beasts was also Vegapunk's research subject back then, but he escaped and caused a lot of trouble and destruction for the World Government.

Storm didn't want Vegapunk to be in danger.

Kaido of the Beasts should just stay in his solitary prison in the void and sit there obediently!

Vegapunk would only come out to "take a break" whenever he needed to.

Storm, filled with anticipation for the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] and the [Azure Dragon Fruit Solution], left Punk Hazard with Kaido of the Beasts.

Over the next few days.

Strom has been adapting to the ninth-level Armament Haki and has fully mastered the new ability of the "Iron Body".

Until this day.

Kizaru, acting as an inside man, secretly sent a message.

The supreme commander of the Knights of God, a high-ranking Celestial Dragon, Figarand Grindelwald Saint, is about to arrive in New Marineford!
