One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Chapter 766 Seraph

"The uniqueness and priority of devil fruits?"

Rorschach was stunned. He had never heard of this theory before, and he suddenly became curious about what Vegapunk was going to say next.

Vegapunk said: "The so-called uniqueness means that there are no two absolutely identical Devil Fruits in the world, or two identical Devil Fruit abilities. At the same time, an ability can only be integrated into an independent individual. Even if it is artificial The replica created by this method is also different from the original devil fruit. The same type of ability user made from the green blood extracted from an ability user is also different from the ability user itself, and will be at the lower limit of ability development. There is a difference in the upper limit.”

"The independent individual mentioned here refers to a living body with blood factors and soul, or a separate non-living body. It is worth noting that it is too general and a huge concept does not count. For example, if you want us to It’s impossible to eat the island under your feet or the entire planet.”

"As for priority, it means that Devil Fruit is a special thing that is superior to the ability user itself. It is more like a special rule. Intelligent creatures who eat it may die, and those who eat it may die. The creature will be destroyed, but the ability itself will exist forever. It will not disappear due to the death of the host, but will be transferred and reborn.”

"You can obtain a certain ability. It is the Devil Fruit ability that actively chooses you, rather than you choosing it. No matter how you obtain it, or choose one among several fruits, it is the ability that chooses you. . It sounds unscientific, but it’s true.”

"Your ability does not belong to you forever if you choose it. When you die, it will disappear and go to the next chosen host."

Rorschach was still puzzled: "If ability chooses the host, then how can Tiki's Dark Fruit be deprived..."

"That's why the Dark Fruit is called the most evil Devil Fruit. This is its characteristic." Vegapunk's words made Rorschach choke.

Rorschach also understood.

"Barrett is also a single-ability user of the Superman-type Fusion Fruit. He only has one set of blood factors and one soul in his body. As for Blackbeard, he is a special race forgotten by history. He was born with three souls and three sets of blood factors. , In fact, it is equivalent to three people living in one body. You can call his race a three-headed dog of hell.”

"Rorschach, you said that once you killed Blackbeard, a set of blood factors and a soul were damaged in his body, and he could only obtain two abilities."

As Begapunk said, he pointed to the armor worn by Sakyamuni standing next to him, and looked at the crowd who gradually understood:
"This is Wapol memory metal, a strange metal that can restore itself to its original state even if it is damaged. It comes from Wapol, the former king of the Drum Kingdom in the Paradise Sea."

"Even the sea, the sea tower stone, and the dark fruit cannot make other abilities disappear, they can only suppress them."

As soon as Yunque and Dasqi stepped into the laboratory, their eyes widened.

After speaking, Vegapunk clapped his hands and called to everyone: "Okay, that's it for answering questions. The pregnancy of Seraph should be completed. Let's go over there and take a look."

When it is needed, it is a real steel door; when not, it simply disappears into a flash of light and shadow.

Vegapunk lit the squirming flesh and blood in the glass cover and said, "As for the fusion of Barrett and Tikki, both characteristics are applicable."

"It's easier said than done." The expression on Vegapunk's face seemed to look at Rorschach with deep meaning. "You just need to understand that it is easy to fall, hard to make progress, easy to obey, and hard to resist. If you just If you simply want to gain power, you can pay any price for it, then you will easily obtain the power of the devil. If you want to defeat yourself and the desires in your heart, it will be difficult, but once you succeed, you will become...your own. God."

"First of all, there are inanimate objects. For example, I once fed an animal Elephant Fruit to a knife in Punk Hassad, turning the knife into a long knife that can turn into a white elephant. This can be applied to Devil Fruits priority.”

“It can be said that the will in Carmel’s soul fruit abandoned Carmel and chose Charlotte Lingling instead, because it believed that Charlotte Lingling was more suitable to be the host of the soul fruit than Carmel. "

"Is this state difficult to achieve?" Rorschach was fascinated by the state that Vegapunk said was higher than awakening.

But the immortal body is different, that is true immortality.

"That's it." Vegapunk understood: "It's not like you haven't seen the Jailer Beasts in Impel Down City. Those who are unable to maintain themselves due to the perfect fusion with their own Devil Fruits, and at the cost of losing themselves, gain near immortality. The vitality is the higher state of fruit awakening. Whether you become a demon, a fantasy beast, a god, or lose yourself and become a slave of desire, you can gain near-immortal power."

"When Barrett and Blackbeard forcibly merged into one, in essence, they were still two people, just temporarily fused together. It's just that Barrett developed his Fusion Fruit ability to be stronger than Blackbeard. To the extent that he can use the ability of the Fusion Fruit to forcibly control Blackbeard's body after being integrated into his body, to use his abilities. "

Who doesn't want to have an immortal body with unlimited vitality?
Think of Barrett on Soft Island, who almost defeated three admirals with one against three.

"Wow! So many pacifists!"

"Then Charlotte Lingling gained her Soul Soul Fruit abilities after eating Garmorro. This also applies to the priority of Devil Fruits. Garmorro is eaten, she dies, and the Devil Fruit regenerates and it can You can choose to be reborn as a fruit, or you can choose to merge into other living beings.”

The interior space of this laboratory is very large. The doors at the entrance are two large iron doors that appear to be made of heavy steel, but are actually just large iron doors projected with light using the three-dimensional projection technology developed by Vegapunk.

"So whether it is a living or non-living form, the Devil Fruit has priority, and you can choose to integrate or not. The living form only needs to eat it to take effect, while the non-living form needs some experiments to let the Devil Fruit take the initiative. Integration is currently only possible with animal fruits that can communicate consciousness. The experiments here are a bit complicated, so I won’t explain them one by one.”

Vegapunk said: "That's just Barrett developing his fruit ability beyond awakening, and integrating himself perfectly with the devil fruit ability. Did he lose himself at that time and become crazy?"

It looked like a rotten piece of meat, but it was still squirming. It seemed to be moving in a certain direction, but because it was covered by a glass cover, it could not move past it and could only tremble continuously.

Rorschach asked out his doubts.

Later, Rorschach and others followed him to a huge laboratory.

Vegapunk said: "The Devil Fruit's ability takes precedence over living entities, including humans, and also over non-living entities such as weapons, soil, stones, and trees. It is a special product that goes beyond the laws of nature. It is evil and magical, except for the sea. With Hailou Stone, nothing can make it flinch."

"Now, I will use these two characteristics of Devil Fruit to answer the questions you raised earlier."

"The fusion ability that Barrett showed on Soft Island has actually been achieved by Wapol a long time ago. His swallowing fruit ability can swallow other people with abilities, and then merge with them into one person. Two consciousnesses, two sets of blood factors, two souls, and two abilities, and his ability to swallow fruit is far from being developed. If he continues to develop it, he can definitely swallow more ability users and merge with more ability users. . Isn’t this a different kind of person with multiple abilities?”

The immortality surgery performed as a result of Luo's surgery can allow people to achieve immortality, which is eternal life.

Luo Xia was startled and nodded: "Yes, how do you know?"

Although it is a three-dimensional projection, it is as solid as a real steel gate.

This is a body fragment left by Rorschach from Barrett. He gave it to Vegapunk. He wanted to know why Barrett could do it, merge with other espers and become a multi-fruit. Those who can.

Rorschach also looked up.

But immortality is not immortality. Immortal people only live longer, but they are not immune to being beaten to death.

"Rorschach, your fruit has experienced an awakening moment. You should know that in every devil fruit, there is a will, that is, desire. The more powerful and thorough it is developed, the more prominent this will will be, and it will eventually affect The character of a person with abilities is infinitely consistent with his abilities. This is why you always feel that a certain person should use that ability, as if he is not suitable for other abilities."

But what happened to Barrett's indestructible body and overly strong vitality after he swallowed Tikki?

It's a magical technology, just like those food vending machines on the island that can directly convert food into food.

Lilith also said something similar back then.

If Barrett can do it, can others also do it? Can he, Rorschach, do it?
if you can……

The reason why Barrett was able to swallow Tikki and merge with him was because of his fruit ability.

Vegapunk said, turning his head to look at an object stuck to the inner wall of the glass cover behind him.

This huge laboratory looks like a huge assembly line factory.

Huge glass capsules like capsules are fixed on the winding tracks, like bullets embedded in a bullet chain.

At this moment, in these huge glass cabins, there are big bears that look exactly the same, with various tubes inserted into their bodies, soaked in some unknown liquid, with their eyes closed, as if they are waiting to be awakened.

Lilith said: "These are the third generation of pacifists. Based on the first and second generations, we have made more perfect improvements. The most significant change is that their body shape will be larger than that of the first two generations of pacifists. A little smaller, but more flexible and faster.”

"Is the replacement of pacifists so fast?" Rorschach was a little helpless. "I remember that the batch of pacifists I bought before were only the second generation, right? It has only been a few months, and this has happened. To the third generation?”

Shakya wearing a mask said in a mechanical synthesized voice: "No, not as fast as you think. These are just clones of the big bear. If you want to become the third generation of pacifists, you still need to physically transform them, which requires a lot of time." long time to complete.”

"That's right. Okay, how many are there in this batch? I've reserved them in advance."

Rorschach's words left Vegapunk speechless.

"Didn't you just buy a batch?"

"Who can have too much of such a powerful weapon? Doctor, you don't understand, I am very insecure. I just want to make my G5 into a piece of iron. Even if I am not here, the four of the new world will be destroyed." Don’t even think about breaking through even if the emperor is gone.”

"The third generation has added a lot of new technologies, and the manufacturing cost has increased a lot. Are you sure you want to order?" Lilith asked.

"Of course!" Luo Xia affirmed. He waved his hand and said arrogantly: "I want as much as you want, as long as your production capacity here can keep up. I can even inject capital into you and build more production lines. I need pacifism. Those who need mechanical leviathans, island-wide air conditioning, and seraphs.”

"Where did you get so much money?" Lilith swallowed it back as soon as she said this. She almost forgot that Rorschach was the major shareholder of Morgans' Seagull Pictures, a very wealthy man.

He was handsome, rich, extremely powerful, and powerful, which made Lilith feel that the world was really unjust.

Under the densely packed hundreds of giant bear replicas, in the middle of the room, there were several glass chambers of different sizes, containing several experimental bodies, which was the purpose of Rorschach's trip.

"Doctors, is this the strongest human being, the war weapon codenamed Seraph? Why does it look like a child? And..." Skylark approached the glass chamber and looked at the experimental subjects inside, feeling a little unsure. He said: "And their appearance seems a bit familiar. I always feel like I have seen it somewhere." "Is this a big bear? A small Bartholomew Big Bear. It doesn't look like it's fully swollen." Bebo pointed in front of him. shouted an experimental subject soaking in the largest glass chamber.

"Big Bear?" Dasqi adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and carefully looked at the experimental subject pointed by Bebo. He found that its size was indeed similar to that of the Big Bear clone in the room. They were both burly and huge, but their faces were different. It looks softer and a little childish.

She looked at several more experimental subjects, counted them, and found that there were seven of them named Seraphim. Although some are huge in size, their faces look like those of children around eight or nine years old, somewhat similar to those giant children who experienced Punk Hassad's experiments.

Suddenly, Dasqi seemed to have thought of something. She opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise: "Skylark, I know where the familiarity you are talking about is. These children look very similar to the King's Shichibukai."

"Your Majesty the Shichibukai?" Being reminded by Daschi, the sense of familiarity in Hibari's mind instantly became clear, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, these children look like Big Bear, Jinbei, Hawkeye, these His Majesty the Shichibukai" It looks very similar, although there are black wings on the back and the hair is white, but it really looks like it. Doctor, why are these experimental subjects their clones? "

Vegapunk smiled and revealed the answer.

"You can also think so. In fact, these Seraphs are indeed clones of the Shichibukai, but before they were fully born, we edited and improved their bloodline factors and added some that would not cause conflicts. Powerful blood factors from some excellent races, and matching green blood.”

"Not only that, we have also implanted a lot of combat skills and combat experience in their brains. We have modified their bodies to be able to use all the functions that pacifists can use, such as lasers. In this way, they who have just been conceived will These seraphs are the most perfect experimental bodies that can be created with the current science and technology we have."

"We spent a lot of effort to create them, with the goal of replacing the Seven Warlords of the Sea and having a strong fighting force to fight against the Four Emperors."

Vegapunk's statement shocked Skylark and the others.

"Can it really be possible to replace King Shichibukai with only these child-like artificial beings?"

"If you can do it, why don't you try it for yourself." Vegapunk smiled, stepped forward, and pressed the switch that controlled the glass cabin.

Accompanied by the sound of the steam valve opening, the seven glass chambers were opened one by one. The experimental subjects inside opened their eyes and walked out one after another, lining up in front of Rorschach and others.

Their eyes are like five-pointed stars, the hair on their heads is white, and they all have a pair of black wings on their backs. Their appearance corresponds to the seven veteran kings of the Shichibukai, just like when they were children. Most of them had indifferent expressions, but there were a few, like Little Doflamingo and Little Moria, who acted very arrogantly and grinned strangely.

Zhan Taomaru walked up and pointed at the seven Seraphs one by one and introduced them.

"This is S Little Bear, a clone of Big Bear. The green blood ability incorporated into it is Big Bear's meat ball fruit."

"S Eagle, the clone of Hawkeye Mihawk, has the ability to quickly chop fruits."

"S Snake Girl is the clone of the pirate empress Boya Hancock. Her ability is sweet fruit."

"S Shark, the clone of Kai Xia Jinbei, whose ability is the swimming fruit."

"S Flamingo, Doflamingo's clone, has the power of the Thread Fruit."

"S Bat, a clone of Moonlight Moria, whose ability is the Shadow Fruit."

"S Crocodile, Crocodile's clone, has the ability of the Candle Fruit."

"They are all Devil Fruit users. I feel like they are really strong." Dasqi has now awakened the Haki of Visibility. At close range, he can feel the powerful aura emanating from Seraph.

"Let's go to the ground. Which of you wants to try your hand at them?"

Vegapunk said hello, and Seraph immediately took steps and followed behind him.

For these experimental subjects on Egg Jian Island, Vegapunk and his six clones have secondary authority second only to the Five Old Stars, and are the supreme controllers of all experimental subjects on the island.

Soon, everyone arrived on the ground of Eggjian Island.

There is a very comprehensive weapons testing site here, which is completely enough for war weapons such as Seraph or Pacifist to use freely.

"Luo Xia, do you want to try it first?" Zhan Taowan came to Luo Xia's side and said with a loud voice.

Luo Xia said indifferently: "Let Yunque and the others try it first."

Soon, Dasqi was the first to stand up and set his sights on S Eagle, who was carrying a black knife of the same style as Eagle Eye behind him.

"Dr. Vegapunk, can he use a sword?"

Vegapunk nodded: "Well, a lot of swordsmanship skills have been implanted in S Eagle's brain. According to your swordsman standards, I think he should be called a great swordsman."

"Great Swordsman?" Dasqi's lips moved, not knowing what to say.

Swordsmen who can be called great swordsmen are all famous swordsmen in this world. It is the world's recognition of the strength of swordsmen and the recognition of the powerful swordsmanship they master.

Dasqi has been practicing swordsmanship since she was a child, and it has been more than ten years now, and she still barely has the status of a swordsman.

The one who can cut through steel is a swordsman.

The Seraph in front of him looks like a child of seven or eight years old. He may have been created for a shorter period of time, but he is recognized by Vegapunk as having the strength of a great swordsman. How can he not make Dasqi's heart surge? ?
"Can I spar with him?"

Dasqi pursed her lips and said.

"Okay." Vegapunk looked at the expressionless S Eagle and ordered: "S Eagle, go and compete with Dasqi. Be careful not to hurt her."

S Yingying didn't say anything, walked to the open space expressionlessly, reached out and pulled out the black knife night carried behind him.

"Please advise!"

Dasqi pulled out the long sword of dead wood from her waist, her eyes became serious, and her body rushed over as soon as she stepped forward. With a shake of her wrist, she slashed at the S Eagle in front of her with an air-piercing slash.

S Yingying did not dodge, ignoring the flying slash that struck directly on his body. He held the black sword in one hand and used a mediocre vertical slash at Dasqi who rushed in front of him.

"Shh!"

A huge blade of light that obscured Dasqi's sight cut through the hard square ground in front of her and flew in front of Dasqi in an instant.

"So fast!"

Dasqi was shocked and held the sword in front of her.

"Keng!"

There was a loud bang, her throat tightened, and her body flew back like a cannonball. She was stopped by the skylark that leaped high on her back, holding her back.

"Are you okay? Dasqi." Skylark suddenly felt worried when he saw a trace of blood spilling from the corner of Dasqi's mouth.

Dasqi shook her head, "I'm fine."

She looked up at Little Eagle Eye, who had inserted the long knife into her back with an expressionless expression, and felt extremely bitter in her heart.

So strong!

Vegapunk was right, this seemingly immature Seraph was powerful beyond her imagination. With just one strike of the knife, she was cut away without any suspense.

"Do you want to continue?" Atlas, who was as big as an S-bear, asked Dusky warmly.

"No need, I lost." Dasqi shook his head.

There is no need to continue the discussion.

I am still too weak.

"Who's going next?" Atlas nodded and looked at Skylark, Bebo, and Rorschach.

"I come!"

Bebo glanced at Dasqi, who was a little depressed and had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and walked out of the crowd filled with indignation.

He raised his hand and pointed at S Eagle. He was about to say something harsh, but when he saw the long knife on the opponent's back and his free hands, he hesitated. He scratched his head, moved his hand away from S Eagle, and pointed Little Bear S, the largest among the seven Seraphs, shouted loudly: "I'll fight him!"
