XX-level Hokage

After a moment, Vegapunk spoke up, "You all should leave for a moment."

“But,” Atlas, as “Berserk,” wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Vegapunk.

"If she really wants to do something to me, even if all six of you are here, it won't make a difference." Hearing this, the six of them left the depths of the laboratory once more.

York was the last to leave, and before he did, he looked back with some reluctance.

Mashiro noticed York's gaze and instantly understood something. "Can you tell me now?" Vegapunk asked.

"I want an artificial Devil Fruit," Mashiro said bluntly.

"Artificial Devil Fruits? So you know about them after all," Vegapunk said without surprise. "What kind of Devil Fruit do you want?" Vegapunk asked.

"I want a Devil Fruit that allows me to freely change the size of my body," Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk shook his head and said, "Artificial Devil Fruits were originally a way of utilizing bloodline factors. Currently, only Zoan-type fruits can be successfully created. Various attempts to create Logia-type fruits have failed."

As for Paramecia-type abilities, they require the bloodline factors of Paramecia-type ability users to be processed into special blood—Green Blood—in order to acquire the corresponding Paramecia-type abilities! Currently, the only ability user who uses Green Blood is the new weapon I am developing—Seraph.

I know that, of course, but if a Devil Fruit is artificially modified to possess the properties of an artificial Devil Fruit, and is no longer subject to the influence of the sea...

"Water, that shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?" Mashiro said calmly.

After a moment's thought, Vegapunk replied, "If that's all, I can give it a try." No sooner had he spoken than Mashiro produced a peculiar fruit, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and handed it to Vegapunk.

[Paramecia-type Devil Fruit - Size Fruit: The user can freely control their body size; as their size changes, so does the density of their body. This Devil Fruit was found by Mashiro in Mary Geoise, but it hadn't been of much use until she met Shirahoshi and realized its potential.]

Because Shirahoshi is a fish-man, Mashiro couldn't let her use the Devil Fruit directly, so Mashiro thought of Vegapunk.

“By the way, you’d better watch out for that clone of yours named York,” Mashiro suddenly said. “What do you mean?” Vegapunk looked at Mashiro in disbelief.

“This Ms. Shirley beside me has the ability to foresee the future,” Mashiro said softly, then turned to look at Shirley.

"Shirley, please tell us about the future of that Miss York from earlier." "Okay."

Shirley nodded obediently and took out her crystal ball. Soon, she saw some illusory images.

After a moment, Xia Lijing opened her eyes and said, "She killed that man named Shakya and then brought a lot of Marines with her." Vegapunk remained silent, seemingly still unable to believe it.

“I remember you two should have the ability to share memories, you can call her over now,” Mashiro said softly.

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk used the internal communication system to call York. Soon, York walked in.

"Original Body, what's the matter that you called me here for?" York asked with a grin. "I want to synchronize your recent memories with yours," Vegapunk said.

"Why do this all of a sudden? Don't we synchronize every night?" York asked somewhat nervously.

“You’re also Vegapunk, so you should understand that for Vegapunk, temporarily altering a memory is incredibly easy,” Vegapunk said calmly.

York didn't finish speaking; he turned to run away, but was bound in place by an invisible force.

Watching Yorke's performance, Vegapunk sighed helplessly. There was no need to prove anything now.

Walking up to York, Vegapunk looked at him with utter disappointment.

York is mainly responsible for taking care of the other five Vegapunk clones' eating, excretion, and sleeping. When the other Vegapunk clones want to eat, drink, or relieve themselves, York can do it for them.

Therefore, Vegapunk granted York authority second only to Shakya, yet unexpectedly, York was chosen to betray him. With that, Vegapunk placed his hand on York's head and began synchronizing her hidden memories.

From his memories, Vegapunk truly understood his sixth incarnation for the first time. As the incarnation representing "desire," York appeared to be lazy and gluttonous, but in reality, she was extremely selfish and scheming. Driven by desire, she believed that there was only one Vegapunk in the world, and she wanted to replace the original Vegapunk, become a Celestial Dragon, and enjoy wealth, luxury, and endless power.

York's transformation occurred six months ago when he and his other clones accompanied Vegapunk to Mary Geoise. In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Vegapunk and his companions witnessed the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons, and thus decided to no longer place their hopes on the World Government.

However, York did not find the Celestial Dragons' behavior dirty and shameless. On the contrary, she wanted to become a Celestial Dragon. At the same time, she also wanted to eliminate the other "Vegapunks" and become the only "Vegapunk".

She planned to inform the World Government about Vegapunk's research into the Poneglyphs after Vegapunk successfully created Seraph, then use the World Government to kill other "Vegapunks" and become a Dragon Man.

After seeing everything York remembered, Vegapunk's expression also darkened. "What are you planning to do next?" Mashiro asked.

"Destroy her. She hasn't made contact with the World Government yet, so there's no need to worry about them discovering anything," Vegapunk said. "What about the part of your brain inside her body? You don't want it?" Mashiro asked疑惑地.

"As the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, my brain can regenerate continuously, so there's nothing to worry about," Vegapunk replied.

"In that case, can you give her to me?" Mashiro said with a smile. (Author's Note)

If you want to see violent York, type 1.

Chapter 119: Education

"Give it to you?" Vegapunk looked at Mashiro, seemingly wanting to know what Mashiro was thinking.

“In exchange, I can give you a drop of my blood,” Shinji said with a light laugh. Upon hearing this, Vegapunk didn't hesitate and immediately said, “Deal!”

Clearly, in Vegapunk's eyes, the secret of his true self is more important than a York.

Decades ago, Mashiro gave Stussy a drop of her blood. Although Stussy didn't share it with Vegapunk, it was revealed by Stussy...

Even from some of the information, Vegapunk was still able to glean many surprising insights.

Unfortunately, Stussy's abilities were insufficient to explore and preserve all the secrets within Mashiro's drop of blood. Vegapunk, on the other hand, possessed the most brilliant mind in the world and had the information to decipher all the secrets within Mashiro's blood.

So when Mashiro first stepped into the Whole Cake Island area today, he was prepared to use his technology to exchange for a drop of Mashiro's blood, but he didn't expect Mashiro to bring it up herself.

York, as Vegapunk's sixth incarnation representing "desire," originally possessed the least amount of knowledge about Vegapunk, since she was initially only...

It is used to provide rest and food for the other five clones and Vegapunk himself.

For Vegapunk, exchanging such a clone for a single drop of Shiro's blood was entirely worthwhile.

After Vegapunk agreed, Mashiro walked lightly to York and looked at the terrified York. She said softly, "You should have heard everything. Your only chance to live is to obey me. Otherwise, I will have Vegapunk format you and take you away."

Seeing the threatening look in Mashiro's eyes, York hurriedly nodded.

Mashiro reached out and gently patted York on the back, implanting the cursed seal before releasing the ninjutsu from York. "Stand with Shirley and don't speak," Mashiro whispered.

York could feel the special power implanted in his body by Mashiro, and he stood obediently beside Shirley, head down, without saying a word.

Then Mashiro walked up to Vegapunk, used her thumbnail to forcefully cut her index finger, and a drop of blood fell. Then, under the effect of the No Limits Technique, she floated in the air, and then the wound on Mashiro's index finger disappeared instantly.

Seeing the blood floating in the air, Vegapunk quickly found a test tube nearby and carefully stored the blood inside. "By the way, when will the Devil Fruit modification be complete?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Through my continuous research on Devil Fruits, I finally discovered their true nature. Devil Fruits are actually what people pursue as the possibility of human evolution. However, this unnaturalness is rejected by Mother Ocean, so Devil Fruit users cannot swim."

The reason why artificial Devil Fruits are no longer rejected by seawater is that I added human bloodline factors to them.

Lineage factors are a unique code within the human body. By altering these lineage factors, a person's defensive and offensive capabilities can be significantly enhanced.

They can increase their abilities and even possess special powers from other races.

With the help of lineage factors, the unnatural evolution of humans caused by Devil Fruits becomes natural, and thus they are no longer rejected by Tenkai. The difficulty of modifying Devil Fruits with lineage factors varies depending on the type of Devil Fruit.

It takes one hour to modify a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, two hours for a Paramecia-type, and three hours for a Logia-type. Of course, if it is an Ancient Zoan or Mythical Zoan, the modification will also take two to three hours.

"The Devil Fruit you gave me is a Paramecia type, so it should take about two hours to modify it," Vegapunk explained as he operated the machine in his hands.

Fortunately, it was a modified Devil Fruit rather than an artificial one. If it were an artificial Devil Fruit, it would require collecting bloodline factors from the user, creating green blood from those factors, and then using cloning technology to convert the green blood into a Devil Fruit. This process would take at least half a month.

Two hours passed quickly.

For two hours, Vegapunk was focused on operating different machines, Mashiro was drawing lots and adapting to new abilities, and Shirley was stealing...

Stealing glances at York beside him, who was silently pondering what Shiro meant, York stared at the ground with a deathly pale face.

Alright, then we'll be leaving. Mashiro put the Devil Fruit that Vegapunk handed her into her personal storage space, and then led Shirley and York out of the laboratory.

Vegapunk then presented Mashiro with the gift.

“By the way, are there any spare ships on Egghead Island right now?” Mashiro asked, seemingly remembering something. “There’s still a prototype ship docked at the port, the one we used when researching Seastone warships,” Vegapunk replied. “Thank you.” Mashiro nodded slightly, then flew towards the port with Shirley and York.

After Mashiro and the other two left, Vegapunk's remaining five clones approached. "Main body, what's the situation with York?" Lilith asked.

"She has betrayed us," Vegapunk said calmly.

As Vegapunk's clones, the five were naturally incredibly intelligent and instantly understood Vegapunk's meaning. "I expected this," Shakyamuni said calmly.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Come with me to study that drop of blood." With that, Vegapunk excitedly flew into the laboratory. On the warship, York, who was in charge of steering, was standing on the deck, being steered by the rudder.

At that moment, Mashiro walked lightly to York's side. "M-Master," York bowed and addressed him.

As the embodiment of "desire," Yorke knew all too well that circumstances were beyond his control.

"Do you know why I traded my own blood for you?" Mashiro gently put her arm around York's waist and asked softly. York was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't know."

“Because I’m very interested in York’s body, it’s very tempting, isn’t it?” Mashiro said, her hands continuing to wander.

York was dressed very little, and under Shiro's caresses, her sensitive spots were easily touched. York's body was incredibly voluptuous and sensual, making it extremely alluring to touch.

Unlike Mashiro's other women, Mashiro's purpose in acquiring York was solely for her body—a body that could be freely explored and exploited without worrying about whether she could handle it.

“Yes, sir,” York said.

Although she felt deeply humiliated, she was far more afraid of death than anything else.

“Come to my room tonight,” Mashiro whispered in York’s ear. “Yes, sir.”

That night, York entered Mashiro's room as promised. "Is it... okay?" Mashiro asked softly.

York bit her lower lip lightly, then her hand gently reached down... one, two, four buttons were undone one by one, the orange coat fell down, and then the bra slid gently down her chest to the ground.

Chapter 120: The Shrinking Mermaid Princess (Part 1)

Upon reaching the deck, Shirley was sitting at the round table drinking coffee.

The warship was very soundproof, so Shirley didn't hear anything like Perona did. However, given Shirley's intelligence, she had already vaguely guessed what Mashiro had done.

Good morning, Shirley.

Mashiro sat down on the other side of the small round table and said softly.

"Good morning," Shirley nodded, her eyes filled with a strange and complicated look.

Mashiro touched the button under the round table, pressed it, and a teacup appeared out of thin air on the table, then filled with a whole cup of coffee.

Mashiro picked up the cup, took a small sip, then put it down and praised, "I can only say that Vegapunk is truly amazing. Not only does he have so many incredible techniques, but even the coffee he brews is so delicious."

She had never really liked coffee, and only drank it occasionally to please Quan. But the coffee on this ship brought her a...

A unique feeling, coffee, actually, is quite delicious.

Vegapunk loved coffee so much that he specially developed a coffee that combined all the advantages of coffee and could be made at will—Vega Coffee.

Bergabank calls it "humanity's dream," as it can instantly brew a hot cup of coffee with just one drop of water.

Therefore, when researching the Seastone warships, Vegapunk specifically added this function to the prototype warships. Of course, besides Vegapunk coffee, Vegapunk also specifically added many other "Vegapunk-style functions" to the warships. For example...

Automated changing room: A room where users can choose their own clothes and the system automatically helps them change. Holographic projection: A 3D projection created directly using light and shadow without the need for a projection Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

Unmanned cooking machine: A machine that can automatically prepare dishes. As long as the ingredients are available, it can make 500 different dishes within one minute.
