XX-level Hokage

“That’s what they say, but how is that possible?” Xia Li shook her head and said.

“Of course it’s possible, which is why I came here specifically to see Vegapunk,” Mashiro said with a smile.

Suddenly, Shirley's expression turned to one of shock. She walked deeper into the laboratory.

At this moment, five figures were gathering. Shakyamuni extended his hand to introduce them to Mashiro.

First, it pointed to a cute short-haired, big-eyed beauty. One of her eyes was covered by her hair. She was wearing a single earphone, a tight-fitting bodysuit, a jacket, and long boots.

This is Lilith, who represents evil. [Name: Lilith]

Then Shakyamuni pointed to a floating green robot next to him. It had a head that looked like a rugby ball, with the number 03 on its head and the character "想" (think) on its chest.

"It represents Edison, the 'thought'." [Name: Edison]

Then came a robot with a wind-up headdress, a protective mirror, and the characters "Punk-04" and "Zhi" on its chest. "It is Pythagoras, representing wisdom."

"She is Atlas, the embodiment of 'rage'." [Name: Atlas]

The last one is a huge, hot, cute girl with freckles, wavy pigtails, and goggles. She has the code "6" engraved on her headdress, right arm, and chest clothing. She wears a dark cropped top, a thick light-colored jacket, and dark gloves. She wears only underwear and DOM boots invented by Vegapunk.

"She is York, representing desire." [Name: York]

After scanning the information of the five people, Mashiro's gaze lingered on York for a moment.

Shakyamuni, Lilith, Edison, Pythagoras, and Atlas all belong to civilian factions, except for York, who belongs to the World Government.

Chapter 118: York, the Representation of Desire

Really interesting.

“Just as I remembered,” Lilith said with a smile.

“That’s right, that memory wasn’t fake after all, it’s truly astonishing.” Pythagoras suddenly separated its head from its body, and its head spoke as if it were speaking. “Welcome, if the spring were here, we would certainly be able to solve many problems,” Atlas said.

“I think so too. After all, it was because of the spring that we began to truly study the historical texts and the lost century,” Edison said calmly.

York remained silent, only smiling, lost in thought. Just then, Vegapunk flew over.

Unlike the Vegapunk that Mashiro had seen last time, this Vegapunk was noticeably much older, including his enormous head, which was now quite dry and covered by an apple-shaped cover.

He really did split his brain. [Name: Vegapunk]

Gender: Male Age: 64

Affiliation: Commoner; Three-color Haki: None

Devil Fruit Ability: Paramecia-type Brain-Brain Fruit

Height: 203cm; Luck Value: 85; Approval Rating: 25

[Paramecia Type: Brain-Brain Fruit: Possesses unlimited brain capacity; his brain can store an unlimited amount of information, but the more data he absorbs, the larger his brain becomes.]

Mashiro thought to herself, staring at Vegapunk's head.

Landing in front of Mashiro, Vegapunk looked at her with great interest and said with a sigh, "Although I witnessed your great power decades ago, I still find it hard to believe that you are actually standing in front of me now."

"I said I would visit Egghead Island again later," Mashiro said with a light laugh.

"So, with the ability to change the memories of the entire world in an instant, is there anything else you need my help with?" Vegapunk asked. "There are indeed some things, but..." Mashiro glanced at the six Shakya disciples around him.

“Every night, our memories will synchronize; there’s no need to hide anything,” Vegapunk said. Mashiro didn’t speak, only looked at Vegapunk.

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.
