Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 725 Vegapunk's Request! (24)

The government's internal special edition of the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia" cannot claim to record all the Devil Fruits. This magical fruit is still shrouded in mystery to this day, and it is refreshed every year with new and unprecedented fruits appearing.

What is certain at present is that the acquisition of abilities by living creatures through devil fruits is a process of genetic modification.

It was during the process of seeking truth that Vegapunk accidentally studied the blood of people with special abilities. After discovering this, he happened to develop bloodline factor technology, which is genetic modification technology.

The emergence of pacifists further proves that the abilities of people with special abilities are engraved deep in their genes.

To give a specific example, it is probably the same as the "X gene" in "X-Men".

It's a superpower that comes from mutation.

But then the problem arises...

If it is a superpower that must be acquired through genetic modification, how do you explain the "Devil Fruit Transfer Experiment"?
Because of the accidentally discovered bloodline factor technology, Vegapunk became extremely curious about people with special abilities and decided to continue the experiment.

It happened that at this time his experiment with Vinsmoke Judge was exposed, and the laboratory was closed due to government wanted orders. In order to allow the experiment to continue, he decisively joined the World Government.

The latter believed that the most important research result was the application of bloodline factor technology to adjust biological genes, so he returned to the North Sea and created an invincible army of clones for himself by adjusting genes.

The two have since parted ways, one focusing on studying devil fruits and the other focusing on developing gene adjustment technology.

Ten thousand words are omitted here.

Vegapunk discovered a very special situation in the body of the animal-type ability user.

With the same physique and the same consumption time, the cell activity of those with animal-type abilities is several times or even dozens of times higher than that of other abilities!
Their vitality has become abnormally strong, they are simply not human!
Such an exaggerated vitality reaction made him unable to help but complain. Could it be that the animal-type devil fruit was alive?

It's like a person with special abilities has eaten a wild beast, but the beast is still alive in his body.

Soon this complaint turned into a flash of inspiration.

He boldly speculated that since eating an animal-type devil fruit would give a person such powerful vitality, could it be transferred to lifeless objects, such as steel knives, wooden tables, and plastic dolls?

Even if it cannot be strengthened dozens of times like a living body, as long as it can move, it is a success, and it can prove the fact that animal-type devil fruits have vitality!

A very simple truth.

Nothing is rootless, and people with special abilities also need to consume physical energy to use their abilities.

If that's the case, how can an animal-type ability user obtain such a huge amount of vitality out of thin air? There must be a source.

There must be something that I haven't discovered playing a role in this.

And as we all know, he succeeded!
Objects that gain the power of animal-type fruits are no longer dead objects, but have "come alive" and become a very different kind of devil fruit user.

A dead object that is actually a container for a devil fruit. The dead object provides the devil fruit with a necessary host and then comes to life.

This is the devil fruit item that everyone is familiar with now.

The only pity is that dead things cannot think, let alone become stronger.

Therefore, such devil fruit items have lost their growth potential. They will always be the same as they were after being eaten. Apart from their research value, their combat effectiveness can only be said to be better than nothing and are completely useless.

CP9 Chief Spandam has an elephant sword for self-defense for this reason.

But Vegapunk's interest has skyrocketed!
In living things, genes must be modified to acquire abilities, but inanimate objects do not have genes that can be modified. Such contradictory characteristics must have an answer!
Soon, as expected, he successfully discovered the true secret of the Devil Fruit.

A special kind of life fluctuation!

This is the key point of everything!
Just as he thought, the devil fruit does have vitality, which means it is a living thing.

But their survival state is different from that of normal organisms, and this fluctuation is a manifestation of their survival.

No matter what kind of devil fruit it is, there is this kind of life wave. Different fruits have different wavelengths, and these different wavelengths determine the different abilities of the devil fruit.

At the same time, he also discovered that the reason why humans ate devil fruits and their genes mutated was not to gain abilities. The appearance of devil fruit items has proved that this has nothing to do with genes.

It's just that the body, in order to adapt to the existence of the devil fruit and follow the instinct of survival, quickly changes under the influence of the special wavelength of the devil fruit to provide it with a living space. In other words, the devil fruit is a very special parasite like the Styx virus.

What the seawater and seastone repel are not the ability users, but the fluctuations of the devil fruit that are parasitic in their bodies.

This is not science, magic, or witchcraft, but it is very pirate!
After figuring out all this, Vegapunk began research to understand the secrets between wavelengths.

The Pacifist Project also began at this time.

As long as there is a genetic sample, he can use bloodline factor technology to extract the wavelength of the devil fruit hidden in the human body, and then graft it based on the sample.

The government took into account the chaos of the Great Pirate Era, and based on this, asked him to create a perfect war weapon to eliminate the Great Pirate Era.

However, the experiment soon reached a bottleneck. After all, devil fruits are rare items, and there were not so many of them for him to study.

However, this did not stump Vegapunk. Combined with the previous successful devil fruit transfer experiment, a bold idea came to his mind.

What to do if there is not enough food?
Of course it is a species!
Dig a hole, bury some soil, and count 12345...

He wants an artificial devil fruit!
Now that the secret of the Devil Fruit's fluctuations has been discovered, is it possible to artificially create Devil Fruits?

It is just the fruit formed by a special life fluctuation.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely brilliant and crazy plan!
And it worked!
Based on the existence form of devil fruits, that is, the strange-shaped "shell" with spiral patterns, Vegapunk reversely deduced the fruits, and combined with Caesar's talent in biology, he created the famous "SAD", the raw material of artificial devil fruits.

And because the wavelengths of the animal series have one thing in common, they can all provide abundant vitality to living organisms, so the two chose to simulate the wavelengths of the animal series to ensure the success rate of planting.

"So...you came to me today because you finally couldn't help but attack the Nature Department?"

In Ron's office at the Navy Headquarters.

The two sat opposite each other, with a cup of hot tea in front of each of them.

Hearing this, Vegapunk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Of course not, my research on the wavelength of devil fruit life is not complete, and so far, only the wavelength of animal-type devil fruits can support their growth and fruition."

"So what you mean is that the superhuman and natural types can't be transferred to objects?"

"Based on current technology, it is indeed impossible. But I think this is determined by the characteristics of different wavelengths. Only the animal system meets the requirements... Uh, General Canglong, if you need anything, I think I can help you try."

Vegapunk knew clearly what position the man in front of him held in the government, and he had to carefully gauge his thoughts.

Hearing this, Ron shook his head.

"Forget it. You have so many things going on. If I make a request now, the Five Elders will definitely give me trouble."

That means, as long as I'm free, I still have to help you try it, right?
The corners of Vegapunk's mouth twitched and he smiled awkwardly.

Ron took out his cigar and lit it himself.

"As a marine, it's my honor to serve the government! No need to mention the compensation!"

Are you the only one talking? ! !
Vegapunk: "..."

Is this a hint?
This is definitely a hint, right?!

"By the way, you just mentioned... Prismarine?"

Talking about business, Vegapunk put down his cup and nodded.

"That's right!"

"Because of the speculation report you submitted, the Five Elders attach great importance to the ability of Orrick's fruit, so they hope that I can find a way to restrain the ability user through the research of seastone."

"As a mineral associated with seastone, prismarine is undoubtedly of great reference value!"
