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

He also kept the many metal materials used for experimenting on and modifying humans.

Vegapunk believed that the pacifists used better metal materials, which he felt were unsuitable for them and disapproved of.

Therefore, everything was thrown here, which allowed Franky to have the good fortune to find a ready-made solution and modify his body.

Despite being a ruthless shipwright who knew absolutely nothing about cyborg technology, he somehow managed to pull himself back from the brink of death.

Not only were his serious injuries healed, but he was also transformed into this body of steel.

As long as there's enough cola, even CP9, a high-ranking World Government agent who's proficient in the Six Powers, can't withstand the power of his fists and Wind Cannon.

This shows that even if it's just the technology and materials that Vegapunk abandoned, even if it falls into the hands of a layman, he can still create someone who is no less capable than a high-ranking agent of the World Government.

The CP9 members were only a handful of people who survived after being brainwashed, selected, screened, and trained since childhood.

Compared to Vegapunk's cyborg technology, this kind of training efficiency truly makes people more intuitively feel the power and extraordinary nature of technological strength.

Or rather, it's Vegapunk's technological prowess that truly lives up to his reputation as the world's greatest genius.

Using only outdated technology and scrap materials, they created the cyborg pirate with a bounty of tens of millions.

His Pacifistas, designed with advanced technology and better materials, caused a great deal of trouble for a group of supernovas in the Sabaody Archipelago.

It can be said that Vegapunk is second to none in both professional skills and personal thinking and personality.

He is a rare professional who has established connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.

Furthermore, thanks to his channels and expansion, Queen of the Beasts Pirates was later able to easily establish an arms trade route...

The poison gas weapon developed by Caesar Clown was even showcased live in front of the entire underground dark world.

All of this is thanks to the good relationship that had been established before.

Their Mads team has always maintained close ties with the underworld.

Vegapunk is a character who walks between light and darkness.

Because of the things he had done in the past, it was difficult for him to gain the complete trust of the Navy and the World Government.

Even if they deem it necessary, the World Government will not hesitate to take action and eliminate Vegapunk.

Even though he possesses numerous technological secrets and brilliant research.

Therefore, when Vegapunk began to dabble in the ancient Titan weapons and attempted to explore the contents related to the Void Century, the World Government could no longer tolerate his existence.

That's how things got to this point: Vegapunk sensed the danger and began to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

Well, given his opportunistic nature and his tendency to cut his losses and ensure his own safety, it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

In the original story, the Navy clearly had a science unit, yet they remained indifferent to the World Government's plan to eliminate Vegapunk.

　3.4 The main issue lies in Vegapunk's control over pacifists and high-tech weapons.

Priority is given to the Five Elders, Vegapunk and his clones, Sentomaru, and the holder of the control chip.

Controlling these weapons and troops, however, is contingent upon not being able to do so via Den Den Mushi.

This greatly limits the Five Elders' ability to control the situation.

[A huge thank you to '1370..' for the generous donation of 588 and 2000 points again!! The boss is awesome!! The boss is incredibly cool!!!]

And thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the yet another generous donation this morning!! Thank you so much!!

839 A foreign thought: The abilities of a special race! The cornerstone of maintaining rule! The ruthlessness of the World Government!!

As long as Vegapunk is alive, his ability to control so many weapons makes him a potential threat.

Even the navy, which has the highest regard for him, wouldn't tolerate such a situation.

It's only a matter of time before Vegapunk and the World Government completely break off relations.

"But speaking of which, these cyborg weapons you've created are truly impressive!"

Usopp also recalled the Seraph that resembled Jinbe and sighed there.

"Ah, that was mainly achieved thanks to the special racial abilities of the Great Bear."

Vegapunk replied.

"Special race?"

Everyone became curious again.

"That's right, Big Bear is a member of a special race similar to the Lunaria race."

Vegapunk nodded and then began to explain the details of this race to everyone.

They were a rare race that supposedly lived on the Red Earth, and are now almost extinct.

Members of this race are able to generate flames on their bodies and survive in various environmental conditions in nature.

Long ago, there was a "Kingdom of Gods" on the Red Line, and the Lunaria people were called "gods".

"Is it God again?!"

For some reason, the closer they got to the end of the journey, the more words the Straw Hat Pirates heard from the gods.

"The bloodline factors of the Seven Warlords of the Sea determine the appearance and physique of the Seraphs, the bloodline factors of the Lunaria race determine the physical characteristics of the Seraphs, and the bloodline factors of Kuma and his clan give them powerful abilities."

Well, the original Pacifista only possessed the laser power that Kizaru had, and did not have any other axe abilities.

This means that, compared to the initial copying of Devil Fruit abilities, Kuma possesses a power that is even more valuable for research.

"I want to forge all the Seraphim into powerful weapons that rival the Seven Warlords of the Sea, therefore, I've given them the very best of everything!!"

At this point, Vegapunk suddenly became passionate:

"Not only do they possess the basic abilities of many pacifists, but they also have many Devil Fruit abilities that I copied, perfectly suited to their racial strengths!!"

"For example, if the fish-men are good at swimming, then let them be able to swim anywhere, so that even on land they can unleash their power from the sea!!"

Hmm, this idea is quite similar to Link's previous one.

The Straw Hat Pirates first looked at Link, and then at Jinbe.

Vegapunk is a perfectionist, and it is this perfection that drives him to create the most perfect Shichibukai.

It is perfection in every sense of the word.

This is why it took so many years for the World Government to finally place Seraph on the sea.

Vegapunk wouldn't easily reveal Seraph unless he combined the best of her abilities, physique, and racial characteristics to create a human weapon that would satisfy him most.

With this formidable force capable of replacing the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it essentially means that Vegapunk's role has come to an end.

In particular, the technologies he possesses, such as the ability to copy Devil Fruit powers, are all in use.

Once you get your hands on these items, you can collect the Brain-Brain Fruit, which reappeared on the sea after Vegapunk's death.

Furthermore, even giving them an outstanding scientist loyal to the world government would still bring them enormous profits!

Well, in the eyes of world governments, the greatest power of technology is that it can create powerful weapons to help them maintain their rule.

After all, the world of One Piece is filled with countless islands, including ancient islands like Little Garden.

There are also islands with modern civilization, similar to the island of Jiguang.

More often, there are islands like Dressrosa, which have a classic European style.

The differences between the islands are considerable, and people are not particularly enthusiastic about the power of technology and the convenience it brings to their lives.

In their view, having newspapers, Den Den Mushi (snail phone), a stable and comfortable life, and family is enough to have everything.

Therefore, apart from the pacifists and the bloodline factor, the World Government wasn't really interested in Vegapunk's inventions.

In fact, they believe that the faster the world's technology advances, the more it will inspire people's wisdom and spirit of exploration.

The more you are exposed to, the more you know, and the more you crave to understand.

This is extremely detrimental to the rule of the world government.

Therefore, keeping the people ignorant is the best policy imaginable.

Even if Vegapunk claims to have mastered technology that is 500 years ahead of human technology, so what?

~~~~~~~~~

First of all, I would like to thank the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' once again for his continued support. I am truly grateful!

It happened 840 times... I don't even know which day it was. I had some symptoms before, but I didn't realize it until it was too late.

My throat is dry and burning, and I'm coughing up blood. As I type this, it's starting to hurt. Everyone says that drinking more hot water helps, but I can only drink cold boiled water to relieve my throat, which is almost burning.

I slept and woke up repeatedly throughout the day. I finally had a few moments of clarity, but after sitting up for less than half an hour, my head suddenly felt dizzy and the world was spinning. I could only lie back down on the bed, and I could only lie down. My lower back was sore and painful, and I could feel it very clearly even when I was asleep.

From yesterday until now, I've only been drinking water and haven't eaten a single thing. I'm almost nauseous from all the drinking; I can even feel the acid in my stomach. But strangely, I don't feel hungry at all. Yet, it's not like I can eat even without an appetite; it all depends on whether I open my mouth or not. So much so that I ate a little something tonight to have the energy to write this.

In short, everyone stay safe and healthy, and take good care of yourselves! I'll take this opportunity to check Red, but I haven't had a chance to yet. Sorry if there are any delays in updates...

840 A groundbreaking research achievement! [Green Blood Ability]! The ability to copy Devil Fruit powers!!

Once Vegapunk has lost his usefulness and crossed the World Government's bottom line, eliminating him would be perfectly normal in their eyes.

Perhaps they even discussed and considered it internally.

If we could obtain Vegapunk's research findings, it would be enough to maintain the World Government's stability for five hundred years. Therefore, eliminating him would not result in any loss.

In any case, as long as they master the Brain-Brain Fruit within these five hundred years, they will still be able to cultivate a second or third Vegapunk.

Even if we say that there will never be another genius scientist like Vegapunk, it won't be a big problem for the World Government.

Ultimately, what they want is simply to maintain their dominant scientific research force and loyal tools, not idealistic scientists who change the masses and benefit the world.

They would not hesitate to do anything that would benefit their rule, even if it harmed the entire world.

"You can even copy Devil Fruit abilities?!"

The group first looked at Vegapunk, and then at Link.

For them, the ability to copy Devil Fruits is nothing new.

With Link's "Copy Gloves," they are all free to choose to copy the abilities they like.

"Yes, this is also a research result I obtained during the process of creating artificial Devil Fruits~"

Vegapunk nodded. "Among them, the Zoan-type abilities can not only be copied, but can even be created as separate artificial Devil Fruits."

"Not only ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits, but also Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits can be created."

"However, that means it will require a lot of time and money 々～."

Vegapunk was taking stock there: "Natural systems are the hardest to replicate; I haven't succeeded yet."

"As for Paramecia-type abilities, replication requires the bloodline factors of an ability user to create green blood that possesses those abilities."

"Then, I will apply all of these [Green Blood Abilities] to the bodies of the [Seraphim], so that they can use the same abilities as the ability users."

Yes, Vegapunk casually mentioned it, yet this was a feat that truly transcended time!

Using his genius mind and research on lineage factors, he completed the exploration of replicating Devil Fruit abilities.

Based on the bloodline factors of those with special abilities, a special liquid called "Green Blood of Abilities" was created. Injecting this liquid into robots would then grant them the abilities of the original ability users!

This is the real, most powerful weapon in the world!!

In the original version, the S-Bear he designed, based on the Kuma template, possessed the abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit.

The S-Snake template of Hancock possesses the power of the Love-Love Fruit.

Hawkeye's S-Hawk possesses unparalleled swordsmanship, while Jinbe's S-Shark naturally possesses the same Swim-Swim Fruit ability as Señor.

Therefore~~~

"I call them all the pinnacle of science and technology!!"

He proudly and earnestly introduced himself: "He is also the strongest human in the ocean!!"

"They possess combat power fully comparable to the Seven Warlords of the Sea!!!"

That's why, later at the World Government Conference, when faced with the proposal from the World Government's allies to abolish the Seven Warlords system, the World Government readily agreed.

It's puzzling how so easily they abandoned the three major forces and balance they had painstakingly built up.

If the Seraphim had already achieved results by then, then all the doubts would be resolved.

The World Government has found a powerful force sufficient to compensate for the loss of the Seven Warlords after their abolition, and sufficient to maintain the balance of power among the three major forces.
