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

And this is the real reason why the Seven Warlords system was abolished!

As for the opinions of the member states of the World Government, they didn't care at all, or rather, they simply gave them face and took the opportunity to complete the matter smoothly.

"Sounds amazing, wow!!"

Franky's eyes lit up as he listened, and he even asked with great anticipation, "Can I also become an existence like a Seraph?!"

Sanji and Robin, who were standing nearby, quickly realized: "This is a scientific weapon of the Navy. It will become a powerful threat in the future, won't it?"

"Well, the S-Bear has already been taken by the Navy to the battlefield on Delta Island as an experimental weapon."

Vegapunk stood with his hands behind his back, thinking, "I suppose he'll be able to achieve great things on the battlefield..."

"Delta Island..."

Then everyone remembered that while they were embarking on their adventure, on the other side of the New World, the Navy seemed to be in conflict with another of the Four Emperors.

Douglas Barrett, from "The Devil's Heir".

However, due to the passage of time and the fact that it seemed to have nothing to do with them, they almost forgot that there was such a figure on the high seas and such a far-reaching battle.

"Besides the S-Bear, there were also the incomplete S-Eagle and S-Snake, which were also borrowed by that group. Honestly, they dare to lend out incomplete products for misuse~~~"

When Vegapunk mentioned this (money), he shook his head at the Navy with a rather speechless expression.

"When you say 'unfinished product,' what aspect are you referring to?"

The others were in a similar situation, having gained a clear understanding of Vegapunk's character, and thus asked the question with some consideration.

"Ah, it's the color scheme of their clothes and hair that I haven't mixed yet."

Vegapunk answered there in a very serious tone.

Everyone: "...Straight"

I knew it!

[A huge thank you to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredible generosity with yet another generous donation yesterday morning at 5 AM!! I am truly grateful!!]

Also, I'm feeling a bit better; at least I don't have a fever, headache, or body aches anymore. I'm still sweating profusely, and my throat is starting to hurt. My nose feels like it's blocked with cement, and I can't breathe properly while having a persistent runny nose!

841 Five Kills Rock Band! A perverted Vegapunk? Why does he look like a child?

Vegapunk's perfectionist nature meant he couldn't tolerate even the slightest mistake.

This means that the "half-finished product" he mentioned, which was not fully manufactured, was only in terms of its appearance.

If he considers this all as a half-finished product, then others will be even more puzzled.

"Since you designed these Seraphim based on the Seven Warlords of the Sea, why do they all look like children?!"

Chopper blinked his big, innocent eyes and looked at Vegapunk with some curiosity, asking a question.

"Shouldn't you design their original bodies and appearances exactly as they were?"

Not only Chopper, but everyone else also realized this and looked at Vegapunk with confusion.

"Don't tell us it's because the technology doesn't allow it!"

Sanji narrowed his eyes, looking at Vegapunk with a wary and suspicious gaze, as if he were looking at a fellow cult member.

"Pacifistas, you can design them to look like bears, but there's no reason why you designed all these Seraphim to look like children! 840!"

"Yeah, don't tell me it's easier to design this way~~~"

Nami also glared at Vegapunk with hostility: "Aren't you a perfectionist? Then the Seraph design you created should be even more in line with the Shichibukai himself."

"How could it have the appearance and body of a child? Shouldn't it be a failure in your eyes? Something just doesn't feel right..."

Vegapunk: "Um, this..."

This time, even Jinbe, who is usually a nice guy, seemed to have to add insult to injury:

"On another note, wouldn't it be better to unleash the full potential and strength of us in our original forms?"

He said there very reasonably, "It's like swordsmanship. No matter how skilled you are, the sword moves made by a child are completely different in power from those made by a normal adult."

"Furthermore, the power of the fish-men I represent, especially in their youth, is completely different from that of adult fish-men! (cade)"

"No matter how you look at it, a true human weapon should perfectly represent the original forms of us, right?"

"Yes, yes, a true perfectionist only truly achieves perfection by replicating everything exactly as it was. Otherwise, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous that you thought there was something wrong with those artificial Devil Fruits before?"

The Straw Hat Pirates' attention was now entirely focused on Vegapunk.

Through these questions and doubts, one after another, they suddenly realized...

Vegapunk, that little old man, doesn't seem like a good person~~~

That makes sense. Who was the good guy who was a key figure in a crazy team like MADs and had connections with various underworld bosses?

Now that he's older, he looks a little kinder and more benevolent, making his appearance quite deceptive.

But in reality, he's a dark person.

Not to mention that when he was young, he and four other key members of the Mads team basically formed a five-kill rock band.

With his enormous forehead, he rightfully occupied the center position, the undisputed leader of the entire team.

The four key members standing behind him, from left to right, are a young Quinn, Caesar, Vinsmoke Judge, and a mysterious woman with a slender figure and a cloak.

It must be said that Queen, who was in his prime many years ago and later became the "Plague" of the Beasts Pirates, was indeed quite handsome.

He had a square face, was tall, had thick, dark purple lips, and wore gold beads in his ears. His upper body was open, revealing his strong, muscular physique.

It's fair to say he really has the vibe of a death metal band member, and many girls might actually prefer his style.

No wonder he was quite skilled at rapping and dancing in his later years. It seems that after completing his scientific research in his youth, he also had quite a few other interests.

It's just a pity that time is a merciless butcher's knife... like pig feed.

It's a bit of a shame that he ended up with that round, chubby appearance.

When Caesar was young, he sported a bowl cut and a mischievous grin.

It's clearly from the 80s or 90s, the kind of younger brother who follows his older brother around, looking both bad and stupid.

In addition, he was holding a gun and looked rather dazed.

Well, it seems his aesthetic sense when he was young was not very good either.

Vinsmoke Judge, on the other hand, had his neck stretched out and a grumpy face that looked like everyone owed him money.

However, in terms of hairstyle and face shape... he really does look remarkably like Marco Polo.

Moreover, his eyebrows are quite similar to Luffy's in Gear 5.

As for the last mysterious woman in the group of five, judging from her back view, she looks exactly like Stusi, a CP0 agent of the World Government.

On the contrary, Vegapunk himself stood there nonchalantly, wearing half-finished beach vacation clothes. His fashion sense was also terrible, drawing criticism.

These five people looked more like street thugs than the mad scientists in a crazy team.

Perhaps it is for this reason that they brought some of the bad habits from these crazy teams into their scientific research.

This is the reason why Vegapunk designed the child-like Seraph.

However~~~

"I refuse to answer this question!!"

Faced with the crowd's questions, Vegapunk simply turned his back and flung himself away.

He kept coughing there to cover up his embarrassment.

However, the suspicious gazes of the crowd did not lessen; on the contrary, they stared even more intently at his back.

~~~~~~~~~~

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

My throat doesn't hurt anymore, but I keep coughing, coughing so hard I feel like I'm going to cough up my lungs, but there's no phlegm! Also, my nose is still blocked by cement, so it's still congested and I have a runny nose!!

842 Perfect creation of Zoan-type Devil Fruits!! The situation on Delta Island!! The intensity of the war!!

It was under these circumstances that Bonnie lay prone on the ground beside everyone.

She let out a soft moan, and then slowly opened her eyes.

"Where am I?!"

She looked around blankly.

At first, she hadn't figured out the situation on the ground.

But when she caught sight of that extremely familiar figure, her eyes immediately narrowed.

"Vegapunk!!!"

Bonney instantly snapped back to reality, baring her sharp teeth and rolling her eyes as she screamed and lunged at Vegapunk's retreating figure.

"You're awake, Bonnie!"

"Wait, what are you doing?!"

"Calm down, ahhhhhh!!!"

In an instant, the entire venue descended into chaos once again.

~~~~~~~~~

Fortunately, after Vegapunk's explanation, everyone understood the extent of his research on Devil Fruits.

Regarding Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, he has reached the point where they can be completely artificially created, which is what is known as artificial Devil Fruits.

However, in Vegapunk's words, Caesar's artificial Devil Fruit, SMILE, is completely of no reference value to him.

There was no contempt in his tone, but it was clear that he didn't take them seriously at all.

What Vegapunk is pursuing is a near-perfect Devil Fruit replication technology. Even special Zoan-type Devil Fruits, namely Mythical Zoan, should be able to be replicated if he has enough time and money.

However, the awakening aspect has not yet been confirmed.

As for Logia-type abilities, even he sighed helplessly. Although Vegapunk had tried everything he could, it was still fraught with difficulties.

Paramecia-type abilities only require acquiring the bloodline of the user and then fusing it with a special type of blood to obtain that person's abilities.

This is what's known as "Green Blood Ability"~

These abilities are fully utilized by the Seraph.

They even brought these abilities to the battlefield where they fought against pirates.

On the other side of that vast ocean.

In the waters off Delta Island, at the heart of the fierce battle.

"So, Vegapunk truly deserves to be called a world-class scientist!"

On the island's shoreline, the treasure hunter Mad Torega let out a strange, chained laugh.

The sunglasses reflected the distant sea and the island, showing the intense, dazzling lights and deafening explosions.

The clouds of dust that flew up were completely blocked by his sunglasses.

"You still have the nerve to laugh?!"

Bucky, who appeared out of nowhere, coughed, looking disheveled.

"Cough cough, ptooey! Ptooey!"

He looked utterly frustrated and exasperated: "That bastard Vegapunk, what kind of monster did he create?!"

"He actually possesses the fighting strength of a Shichibukai, and he even has the power of a Devil Fruit!!!"

"This is something that ordinary pacifists and cyborgs could never achieve!!"

"Besides, aren't those Devil Fruit abilities the original Seven Warlords of the Sea?! Why are they appearing on these robots?!"

【Seraph】, the highest level of artificial combat power, in the hands of the Navy, means defending the highest authority.

But this is not a good thing for the pirates.

"So, these guys are the Navy's weapons?!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Crocodile, half-buried in sand, swirled in the sky, squinting as he watched the Seraphim wreaking havoc in the distance.
