Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 696 Weapon Fruit Awakening
New world.

Smoker drove a high-tech amphibious motorcycle towards the island where the naval guerrillas were located.

The unmarked sailors on both sides looked at Smoker in his white uniform with visible rejection and disgust in their eyes.

"An uninvited guest has arrived." The giant wearing sunglasses sat on the rock and watched his former student walking slowly towards him.

"Teacher Zephyr, long time no see." Smoker bit his cigar and stared at the giant seastone device in Zephyr's hand.

"My bad student, what are you doing here?"

Zefa asked.

"Become stronger." Smoker put his hands in his pockets and exhaled lightly.

"Ha, has the little brat who has always looked down on others by relying on his elemental body finally gotten his comeuppance?"

"I heard that you have been chasing a pirate, but you can never do anything to him."

"Well... even with the seastone, the ten hands can't restrict the opponent. It's a complete turtle shell..."

"The user of the Barrier Fruit, its previous owner was a member of the Rocks Pirates. Its defense can even ignore ordinary attacks entangled with the Domineering Haki. Naturally, you can't do anything about that devil fruit..." Zephyr told the details of the Barrier Fruit like the back of his hand.

"Unless... you use high-level domineering techniques to defeat the opponent from a distance before the defensive wall is opened."

Click!

Zephyr swallowed two pills and pointed his huge seastone arm at Smoker.

"I don't intend to teach a disobedient troublemaker a lesson, come closer to me first--"

Da da da--

The supersonic seastone bullets swept over like a storm. Smoker's face changed and he quickly turned his body into smoke to avoid it.

"Don't you want to become stronger? If you don't even have the courage to look directly at the seastone, how can you be stronger?!"

The bullets tore through the thick smoke and hit the land behind.

Smoker regrouped his body in a very embarrassed manner and looked at Zephyr breathlessly.

Wisps of smoke were coming out of his arms.

"There are two types of natural ability users. One type carries damage from the elements themselves, like Akainu's magma. They are powerful natural disasters in themselves. The other type is like Kizaru. The elements themselves do not cause damage. In addition to the natural type's invincible body, if you want to attack, you must condense your fists again and condense enough mass..."

"White Snake!"

As a troublemaker, Smoker would naturally not sit still and wait for death. His hands turned into white smoke and attacked Zephyr. In the hazy smoke, the two white smokes were extremely conspicuous, and finally turned into fists and hit Zephyr.

Zephyr raised his mechanical arm and grabbed Smoker's fist. He screamed, and his strength quickly disappeared. Even his domineering aura was disturbed and could not be activated. He fell to his knees.

"You're not fast enough, you're not strong enough, and you don't have enough skills in using Haki. If you're afraid of Seastone, why don't you attack from a distance? Smoker! Don't you know how to do it? I taught you all a long time ago. You just don't have enough Haki to use it!"

Zefa grabbed Bai Yan's hand, lifted it high, and then dropped it heavily.

The force spread out and knocked Smoker to the ground a hundred meters away.

"I heard that you sniped Doflamingo in Dressrosa?" Zephyr let go of his hand.

Smoker regained his strength, "That was an incident that Luffy was the mastermind behind. I don't know why all the credit went to Kuzan. It's really shameful!"

With his fists full of domineering aura, Smoker said angrily.

Admiral Aokiji doesn't need any merit or fame at all. This can only be the work of the top brass, who also cover up the shortcomings of the Shichibukai system, as if the navy can check and balance the Shichibukai at any time...

He attacked Zefa again, but this time he was much more cautious. He dodged left and right in front of the seastone bullets and was unable to get close to Zefa.

"What an idiot! The seastone bullets can't kill you..."

As he spoke, Zephyr suddenly predicted and a seastone bullet hit Smoker's head. At the moment of contact, the seastone sealed Smoker's power, and the remaining kinetic energy completely blasted into Smoker's head, blowing him away.

After lying on the ground for a long time, Smoker wiped the seastone bullet off his forehead and stood up again. There was a bright red scratch on his forehead and the skin had been wiped off.

"It hurts... It's a seastone bullet... If it were sharpened a little, it would be more lethal." He said, looking at the bullet head in his hand.

At least it's sharper, and combined with supersonic kinetic energy, it can break the skin.

"This is already the limit of processing, and the quantity is very small. They are all made of the leftover scraps from making the defense wall..."

During the conversation, Smoker took another step and rushed towards Zephyr.

……

Windless zone.

"Luffy, we need to install an energy alarm, otherwise we won't be able to stay aloft due to lack of energy when flying at low altitude, and then a mountain will fall directly into the sea!"

Nami warned.

"Okay - I'll fix it! Does anyone else have anything to add about the deficiencies on the ship?"

Luffy recorded the girls' requests on the display.

Vivi crossed her arms across her chest, feeling that there was still some warmth from Luffy there, which was a bit weird.

Because when sleeping, it is natural to only wear pajamas, and the feeling is very clear. This is... how Uta and Nami feel every night!
As she thought about it, a visible blush spread from her neck to her head.

"Where's Uta?" Luffy glanced at Vivi. Vivi was so cute and smooth... He couldn't think about her anymore. He had to work hard today!
"I'm here..." Uta grabbed Shirahoshi's clothes by her hair and crawled out with difficulty, with her little head hanging on the collar.

Like an accessory on clothes.

"Why aren't you coming out yet?"

"This is a bit bad, it's so big and warm... hehe... I want to stick close to Shirahoshi!"

"I am a giant fish man, Uta, what you said is a bit harsh!"

"It's obvious that it's been contaminated by Luffy!" Nami put her hands on her hips.

Shirahoshi tilted her head in confusion, looking at her friend curiously. She smiled again, "I want to stay with Master Uta too!"

She seemed to be emitting a white aura, and Luffy didn't dare to look at her any longer after just one glance.

Pure and beautiful, like a pearl that is ignorant of the world.

"Then I'll go to work!"

Luffy reached out and picked up the Vegapunk Den Den Mushi and flew to the research workshop.

There are a total of one thousand small robots on standby on the spacecraft, one hundred of which are responsible for taking care of the crew's daily life, and the other small robots have nothing to do and are scattered around in various locations on the mountain.

Luffy gathered all the little robots together and rushed to the workshop.

According to Vegapunk, these little robots can also become industrial assistants and can be used as ordinary humans. "Good morning, you are accessing the Punk Records, the largest library in the world. I am Dr. Vegapunk--"

Den Den Mushi yawned and said to Luffy.

"Human-machine?"

"This is a greeting I came up with. Isn't it great? Punk Records will be facing the whole world in the future!" said Vegapunk.

"Will it take up your brain power if I call you?" Luffy opened the door of the laboratory, put the Den Den Mushi away and started making the spaceship remote control.

"No, I am still growing and expanding..."

"My spaceship's fuel ran out all of a sudden. How come your fire was consumed so quickly? Fortunately, it stayed in the air, otherwise it would have fallen!" Luffy started by complaining about the energy problem.

"That energy is free in the first place. It's good enough to provide you with some. I won't give it to the World Government and I won't tell them!"

Den Den Mushi called out confidently.

"This Den Den Mushi perspective feels really good. Vegapunk Den Den Mushi is a good idea. For scientists, a good idea, a flash of inspiration is a very precious thing... Luffy, what are you doing?"

Den Den Mushi crawled around on the table in the lab, then watched Luffy shape some metal into a box with his bare hands, then did needlework with lasers shooting from his eyes.

Controlling the laser to perform nano-scale engraving operations is indeed a needlework for humans.

"Make a remote control that can control the spaceship when you are outside..." Luffy felt very tired after shooting lasers for a while. This homework was too delicate.

After resting for a few seconds, he used his hair as a laser pen to carve.

"Why do you want to do such a boring thing?" Vegapunk didn't quite understand. "There is a laser array on the ship. We just need to turn it on and we don't have to worry about thieves getting in..."

Laser, in the world of pirates, is more vividly called [Kizaru's laser]. The attack level and frequency are equivalent to the casual attack of the admiral. Even the domineering dinosaur man will be killed instantly. On the navy side, even the general vice admiral will be killed instantly. As long as it can hit...

Above that is the level of star disaster, which can withstand lasers.

With such powerful defense, there is no need for things like remote controls.

"It's mainly for convenience..."

Snail took two steps back and forth. He was not interested in Luffy's current behavior. "You said before that there is a user with the Weapon Fruit on your ship. I am very interested in this devil fruit. Is he Doflamingo's subordinate?"

"You know?" Luffy said.

Vegapunk hummed, "Because of the Shichibukai Agreement, the government will collect blood samples from the Shichibukai to study their bloodline factors. Doflamingo provided his own and his subordinates' samples to my laboratory, but that was the Swimming Fruit, which I am not very interested in... If he had given me a sample of the Weapon Fruit at that time, it would have been better..."

"Is there such a requirement to become a Shichibukai?" Luffy pondered.

"I want to do an experiment on the weapon fruit. Has she awakened?" Vegapunk asked Luffy.

"I want to... make her the strongest human in my imagination. If it's a devil fruit, it should be able to fulfill one of my dreams..."

"Not awakened yet..." Luffy said, "Vegapunk, have you awakened?"

"Let her come to me. I can make her awaken... Of course I haven't awakened because my body is not strong, but I don't need to awaken. Awakening is just the application of more advanced skills. It doesn't mean that awakening can defeat the unawakened. This is related to the problem of numbers rather than the problem of skills..."

"Isn't this kind of awakening dangerous?" Luffy asked Vegapunk while broadcasting BABY-5 over.

"The Parahuman system will not be in danger. The World Government has conducted countless experiments on the awakening of devil fruits. This is a mature technology. As long as the conditions are met, it can awaken people 100%..."

"Only the animal type will have some problems with dominant personality changes. Those who have problems are thrown into prison as guards..."

BABY-5 quickly flew to the laboratory, "Luffy-sama~"

"Can I help you with anything?"

She asked Luffy with a little blush and anticipation.

"Vegapunk said he would awaken your devil fruit..." Luffy said, signaling to Den Den Mushi to start your performance.

"Is this your strongest mode?" Vegapunk asked, looking at BABY-5 with wings behind him.

She nodded, feeling confused about this famous scientist whom Doflamingo also cared about very much. Can awakening be assisted by humans?

The tentacles of Den Den Mushi Snail burst into lightning, and a light projection appeared in front of her, showing all the technologies that had been used by mankind throughout history.

"This is the evolution of weapons. From the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons, the definition of weapons has been evolving. Of course, the original weapon was human beings themselves..."

Vegapunk continuously projects graphics and text materials.

The weapons above are constantly updated, but eventually they turn into human form. This is a world with high military power where individuals can destroy cities and countries. All weapons will eventually return to human beings themselves after evolution.

What followed, of course, was the redesign of humanity itself.

Bloodline factor technology, the regeneration and production of human beings.

This technology has gradually matured, and Vegapunk has personally created a cloned human with his own thinking ability.

BABY-5 only felt the blood boiling in his body. Many...many weapon design plans could be replicated by just following the steps.

The world lit up in an instant, and BABY-5 instinctively wanted to reach out and touch Luffy. Luffy's eyes flashed red as he looked into the future a few seconds later, then frowned, and nothing changed.

He half wanted to step back and avoid BABY-5's touch.

The concept of touching is itself the key button to activate and use the devil fruit ability.

After hesitating for a second, Luffy finally did not dodge, but secretly used Haki, and his body was touched by BABY-5.

"..."

BABY-5 was shocked and felt dizzy.

Powerful martial arts appeared in his mind like a waterfall, and then disappeared, leaving only a trace.

BABY-5 snapped its fingers and the air shattered the glass windows of the laboratory like a cannonball.

Six-style flying finger gun!
"There are so many new Six-style moves in my head..." BABY-5 said dizzily.

"This is... my ability... awakening cloning... as long as I collect enough data, I can replicate the martial arts in the opponent's body..."

In addition, Luffy's laboratory began to distort, and the earth was being transformed into weapons...

"Awakening Weapons Factory!"

The external environment is interfered with and transformed by the power of the devil fruit, a very standard awakening technique.

"Is this how Devil Fruit abilities are expressed as cloning? It's pretty much what I expected, taking away the martial arts that are engraved in the opponent's bloodline..."

Den Den Mushi snail nodded.
