The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"Or even..."

Robin paused slightly, "After he encountered the Celestial Dragons, what he experienced was far more brutal than what I went through."

Yes, in this world, nothing is more miserable and cruel than becoming a slave of the Celestial Dragons.

Clearly, after experiencing so many setbacks at the beginning, and then finally arriving at the outer seas, they were tormented by the Celestial Dragons.

It's entirely possible that Momonosuke's personality could drastically change, becoming incredibly extreme and dark.

In particular, he was branded with the Celestial Dragon's hoofprint and forced to eat a Devil Fruit.

These events, one after another, would be unbearable even for an adult, let alone an eight-year-old child.

Therefore, it's hard to say whether he'll have any other thoughts after returning to the island.

For example...

"Do you want to gain more?"

Zoro, who had been silent the whole time, opened one eye and slowly said something.

If, as Robin and Franky suspected, the other party's personality had drastically changed and he was deliberately putting on an act, then he was plotting something bigger.

"After all, he is only eight years old and has nothing, while his sister is already twenty-four years old, a beautiful young woman, and has already become a general."

"One suffered greatly outside and now has nothing, while the other is now enjoying the glory of being a general..."

"Even siblings might have other thoughts in their hearts, right?"

Zoro is always the least concerned about considering others from the worst possible perspective.

"Therefore, his escape from the general's mansion was very likely premeditated."

Robin spoke softly, offering her opinion: "He's testing his sister and his retainers."

"Let's see how they react."

"Anyway, I find it hard to believe that he was captured so easily by two residents."

Robin gently shook her head: "He is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, and also the offspring of Kozuki Oden."

"It's impossible for someone to be this useless!!"

745 The New Pacifista [Seraph]! Vegapunk, the only one who understands Devil Fruits!!

Well, as the saying goes, "Like father, like son," and "Like father, like son."

However, there is one more thing to note, which is that this is under the premise that Lao Tzu is a hero.

Was Kozuki Oden a hero? Obviously not.

In addition, there is a saying: "A doting mother often spoils her son."

Clearly, given that Kozuki Oden failed to be a good father, Kozuki Hiyori's constant pampering almost spoiled Kozuki Momonosuke.

At the very least, he did not resemble a wise general in any way.

On the contrary, he clearly displayed many of the traits of a tyrannical ruler.

"Since that guy has other ideas in mind..."

Sanji, who was also born a prince, casually remarked, "Should we follow up?"

"Follow up? Forget it, that's Wano Country's own business, it has nothing to do with us."

Luffy, on the other hand, showed absolutely no interest in it.

Even if you put the position of Shogun of Wano Country in front of him, it wouldn't taste nearly as good as the pirate bento Sanji makes!

"Let them do whatever they want. What we want is Kaido and the Road Poneglyphs in Wano Country."

"Now that we have the historical text of the road sign, we are just waiting to set sail."

He kept stuffing food into his mouth. "Once Link finishes his business, we'll leave here!"

Since the captain had spoken, even if he was a rather unreliable fellow, no one else had any objections.

Moreover, their supplies had already been prepared long ago.

Once everything settles down, we can set off!

And the so-called dust has settled...

"So, you're planning to go find that guy named Momonosuke, is that right?"

Outside the Flower Capital, on that boundless wilderness, Aokiji, who had also finished working with Link, wiped the sweat from his face and casually asked a question.

He heard the phone call just now.

"If I have the chance, I'll try to help look for it 々～."

Link also gave a vague answer.

Well, if he were to help look for it, it wouldn't be a simple matter of finding someone.

"By the way, you're clearly an ice cube, so how come you're sweating?"

Link glanced at the dense beads of sweat on his forehead and then asked.

"Oh dear, why don't you mention that as an ice cube, I also need to eat?!"

Aokiji rolled his eyes. "Although my element is ice, I am essentially still a human life form."

“I still go through all the basic human life activities, such as being hungry, thirsty, tired, sweating, and going to the toilet.”

So, you see~

Link clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Devil Fruits are truly amazing things."

"It can give humans a biological elemental body, while still maintaining its own life form."

"The secrets contained within Devil Fruits, the truth hidden beneath the bloodline factors, are unknown."

"By the way, I remember Dr. Vegapunk seems to have done a lot of research on lineage factors."

"When Luffy becomes the Pirate King and confronts the World Government, let's see if we can meet with him and talk about his research on Devil Fruits."

"That's quite a curious secret~"

Vegapunk, the legendary genius who was 500 years ahead of human technology and was hailed as the world's greatest genius who surpassed human wisdom by 500 years, seems to remain a mystery to this day.

Besides knowing that he unlocked the conditions for transmitting Devil Fruit abilities and was able to imbue objects with Devil Fruit powers.

Several years ago, they also invented a method to use sea stone to allow naval warships to cross the calm zone, enabling the navy to freely travel to other seas.

In addition to the achievements mentioned above, there has also been research and development of pacifists, and so on.

His most famous work is undoubtedly his research on Devil Fruits.

The first artificial Devil Fruit he invented was the Dragon Fruit, which Momonosuke ate. It was successfully developed using Kaido's bloodline factors and indeed possessed some of Kaido's abilities.

He is the only man who fully understands Devil Fruits.

He is proficient in everything from Devil Fruits to mechanical manufacturing, and is a true genius scientist.

Although Caesar Clown always wanted to compete with him, he could never reach Vegapunk's level.

In his youth, he was considered the most dangerous being by the World Government because he discovered the existence of the "life blueprint" bloodline factor for Devil Fruits.

After arresting Vegapunk, he also disbanded his original research team. Although he was nominally joined the World Government, he was actually controlled by the World Government and turned to work for the World Government.

You could say he's a man shrouded in mystery.

"I had heard about Dr. Vegapunk before I left the Navy."

Aokiji thought for a moment, realizing that he had already joined the pirates, and that Vegapunk's achievements would be showcased on the high seas in the future.

It would be better to say it in advance, which would be in line with one's identity and allow one's own pirate crew to have some understanding and be on guard.

Of course, perhaps there's no need to be on guard.

"He seems to be developing a new generation of pacifists, named [Seraph]."

Aokiji adjusted his sunglasses and wiped the sweat from one side of his cheek.

"Like Ember, he has white hair, brown skin, and a pair of wings on his back."

"It seems to be a machine developed based on the Lunaria people (Zhao Zhao), or even..."

Aokiji paused, not saying anything more, but Link could roughly understand what he meant.

"Like the bear, they were all based on the original body, using living people as experimental subjects, preserving their strong basic physical qualities and abilities, while making them lose consciousness."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to cleave the mountain of the Nine-Eyed Amazon Lily in two with a single sword strike... Wow!"

Recalling this information in his mind, Link knew just how powerful this [Seraph] type of pacifist was.

If we say that a typical pacifist with the appearance of a bear could be easily defeated by someone who is proficient in Haki, then...

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for this incredible donation!! I am truly grateful!!]

746 Isaac! The guardian of Impel Down's seventh level! Two Yonko sealed away!!

Even Franky, piloting General Franky, could slice the upgraded white model in two with a single stroke, cutting off a large section of it.

However, the Pacifista of the [Seraph] model was truly developed to deal with the powerful beings of the New World who are skilled in Haki.

If there were a large number of these [Seraphs], perhaps the Navy and the World Government would still reign supreme over this sea in an invincible manner...

"Before I left the Navy, I had already heard that the production of the Pacifista model [Seraph] was nearing completion."

"Next, it's just a matter of actual combat. According to Vegapunk's usual practice, he will also leave a two-year observation period before putting them into actual combat."

"However, given the current situation at sea, the World Government can no longer sit idly by, given the unrest and actions caused by the Revolutionary Army."

"They won't stand idly by and continue to give Vegapunk too much time."

"If I'm not mistaken, they might already be planning to throw these pacifists into the sea."

Aokiji shared the information he had received from the Navy, which made Link nod slightly.

"In short, we must always be careful about the movements of the World Government."

Link understood, but then he remembered someone else:

"If the World Government were to produce such a high-tech device, a certain guy in the New World would definitely not sit still."

"Even if it's a product of the World Government, given his personality, I reckon he'd secretly take it and study it."

"Research……"

Aokiji paused slightly, then seemed to realize something and said with a hint of realization:

"You're not talking about Isaac, are you?"

"That warden, a brilliant guy who's also a scientist~"

In the New World, the only person Aokiji could think of who was interested in technology was this guy.

"Yes, that's him."

Link smiled and nodded.

Isaac, a clever guy who lives a quiet, unassuming life in a corner of the New World, without fighting or vying for anything.

His primary identity is that of a character created by Oda himself from the Bandai Namco action-adventure game "One Piece: World Seeker".

He is the warden of Prison Island in the New World.

At the same time, he is also the owner of this prison island, the "warden" who rules the entire prison island from behind the scenes.

Besides his hobby of imprisoning criminals, he was also an outstanding scientist.

Besides imprisoning prisoners, Isaac dedicated himself to scientific research on the island, which led to the island's extraordinary development.

Isaac is also a former Navy officer with a subtle connection to the Navy.

Despite having left the Navy, occupying an island in the New World as a prison island, and researching all sorts of strange and unusual technologies, he was not wanted by anyone.

It is clear that he knows what he should do and handles his relationship with the Navy and the World Government very well, showing exceptional intelligence.

Of course, besides her intelligence, she also occupies an island in the New World and has developed such advanced technology that even Charlotte Linlin, who has always coveted technological power, can't see it.
