One Piece: The Navy's Eight-Year-Old Tech Prodigy, the Four Emperors Have Gone Mad

"I still have a general-level Seraph, but since it's the first time to develop it, I'm sure it will cost more. I'll need 200 billion in R&D funds. After it's developed, the cost can be reduced to 100 billion each!"

"Don't these add up to 50 billion Baileys?" Xia Yu explained.

In fact, this is all nonsense from Xia Yu. If he masters the future technology and improves it, these things will be ready, and the cost will be only 20 billion Baileys at most.

The reason why Xia Yu asked for such a high price was that in order to unlock the next technological lock, the technology of Admiral Seraph, he had to meet the system requirements of his own 50 billion research and development funds!

It doesn’t matter whether the money is spent or not, but you must get 500 billion in funding from the Navy to unlock the new admiral-level Seraph technology!

So, Xia Yu asked for 500 billion berries. He had contributed so much to the navy, so it wouldn't be too much to ask for a little bit of profit, right?

and many more...

What did you say?

The admiral version of Seraph?

Everyone present was shocked.

If Xia Yu really created this kind of thing, I'm afraid the whole world would change!

Especially once the Admiral Seraph is mass-produced, the Navy will be able to completely eliminate not only the pirates on the Grand Line, but also the Four Emperors of the New World!

Are you kidding? Do you think a bunch of generals are just joking?

However...most people still have doubts about things like the Admiral Seraph.

Are you sure this kind of man-made machine can really be created?!

You know, for the Admirals, let alone the Devil Fruits, even their basic taijutsu and Haki are already top-notch in this world!

Even if you are a highly talented human being, you may not be able to reach the level of a general. How can a machine reach the level of a general?

They could barely accept the creation of a Seraph of the Shichibukai level, but they really couldn't even imagine the creation of a Seraph of the Admiral level.

In fact, it’s not their fault. After all, this kind of thing came from the mouth of an eight-year-old kid.

What if it was a prank, and it was at the level of a general, it sounds too shocking!

"This is unlikely, right?"

"Kid, with your fighting prowess...are you sure you understand what a general is? If you don't know, you'd better stop bragging!"

Sakaski narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously.

I don't doubt that Xia Yu can create a stronger Seraph, but I am worried that... this kid Xia Yu has no idea of ​​the general's true combat power!

What if the one created is a Brigadier General-level Seraph?

In that case, 10 billion Baileys would be a bit of a loss. It would be more cost-effective to create five Seven Warlords of the Sea Seraphs!

Although Vice Admiral He did not say anything, he looked at the hesitant Zhan Guo. Fifty billion berries is not a small number. It is the navy's budget for half a year!

For such a large sum of money, Zhan Guo would have to take a huge risk!

If I mess up, I'm afraid I will inevitably be held accountable by the Five Elders!

"Yeah, brother Xia Yu, you have to think it over carefully. Don't say anything before you make it."

Kizaru also said worriedly.

If the Seraphim we create doesn’t reach the level of an admiral, and the navy blames me and docks my salary, I’ll be in trouble!

Xia Yu simply waved his tender little hands.

"Don't worry, brother. If I say he has the strength of an admiral, he definitely has the strength of an admiral! After all, my brother is an admiral, and I have also watched the teaching videos released by your navy of the admirals fighting desperately! I know what it's like to be an admiral!" Xia Yu said confidently.

Hearing this, Zhan Guo was finally moved!

In fact, I also know that no matter what Xia Yu says.

There are certain risks associated with being a general or a Seraph!

But... the admiral-level Seraph is too tempting for me as a navy marshal...!

Let alone mass production, even if two or three can be produced, it will definitely be a huge benefit to the current navy!

At least the Four Emperors of the New World will definitely be able to suppress them in the future!

The temptation is too great!!

Who cares? If I win, I'll be a young model in the club. If I lose, I'll go to the sea to work...

"I wonder how long it will take you to create these Seraphs?" asked Zhan Guo.

"The Shichibukai-level Seraph has been successfully developed and ten can be produced within three days!"

"A general-level Seraphim? Because research and development takes some time, it takes half a month to develop it. After it is developed, it will be very fast to produce it in the future!" Xia Yu explained.

After hearing Xia Yu's words, Zhan Guo gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

At least he had the guarantee of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Seraph. Even if he failed to research the admiral-level Seraph, the Five Elders would not punish him too much.

"Good boy!"

"Fifty billion Baileys, I'll find a way for you!"

"Go ahead and research it. If you fail, it's my fault!"

After hearing what Sengoku said, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Garp and others all looked over.

It can be seen that Zhan Guo really likes these machines!

For this reason, even if it means facing punishment from the Five Elders, I will not hesitate!

Warring States, this is a gamble...!

Xia Yu smiled slightly, 50 billion funds were in hand!

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhan Guo, you just need to provide me with a dedicated laboratory and don't let anyone disturb me!"

"As for the research and development results, don't worry, I can guarantee you that I will complete the task!" Xia Yu assured in a baby voice.

"Good boy, if that's the case, you should take up your post immediately!"

"You don't have to worry about all the work procedures. I will handle it for you! You can focus on scientific research!" Zhan Guo said excitedly.

Afterwards, Kizaru and Sengoku himself, along with the young scientist Xia Yu, boarded a warship and headed to the Naval Science and Technology Department!

Now, not only for Xia Yu, but also for Zhan Guo, they dare not waste even a minute!

That's why Zhan Guo was so eager to let Xia Yu report directly without going through all the rules and regulations and conduct scientific research in the independent laboratory of the Ministry of Science and Technology!

Naturally, I will send special lieutenant generals to take turns on guard!

There can't be any accidents with such an important talent!

Chapter 4: Lieutenant General Four: It’s just a machine, how could it be stronger than us?

Naval Science Department...

The four lieutenant generals Ghost Spider, Burning Mountain, Mole, and Vergo gathered together and were having a heated discussion about the upcoming technological genius!

"Have you also received orders from Marshal Zhan Guo?" Vergo asked doubtfully.

"Yes! Did you receive it too? My order is to take turns on duty here to protect the technological geniuses that our Navy Headquarters is eager to recruit!" said the Mole in surprise.

"Who is this technological genius? Could it be Vegapunk?" Ghost Spider guessed.

"But that's not true. We all know Vegapunk. That guy always likes to stay in Future Island and doesn't even bother to come to our Naval Science and Technology Department." Huoshaoshan explained.

"That's strange. Besides Vegapunk, who else in the navy could make Marshal Sengoku mobilize such a large force?

Every day, four vice admirals from the Marine Headquarters are dispatched to act as bodyguards! This force is comparable to that of the Celestial Dragons!

"The mole squinted his eyes and said, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out which great scientist it was!

Just as everyone was discussing this, the warship carrying Marshal Zhan Guo had already arrived ashore.

coming!

Everyone's eyes flickered, and they all went forward to greet him.

They were very curious about what kind of genius appeared in the navy, who had to make such a big fuss just for protection!

Could it be that...his skills can rival Vegapunk's?

"Marshal of the Warring States Period!"

"General Kizaru!"

All the lieutenant generals came forward and saluted.

However, when they looked around, they found that there was no one else except an eight-year-old kid following behind Kizaru, let alone a scientist!

This made these lieutenant generals very confused...

"Excuse me...the great scientist you asked us to protect and not let anyone disturb him, is he absent today because of something?" Lieutenant General Mole was so curious that he dared to ask.

After hearing this, Zhan Guo smiled slightly.

"Kizaru, you should introduce them."

Kizaru walked forward.

"Hello everyone, this little brat is my younger brother Xia Yu. He will be working in the Naval Science Corps in the future!"

Everyone looked over.

Such a cute little kid is much more handsome than the old ape...!

But... an eight-year-old kid coming to the science department probably can't do anything, right?

No need to think, it must be this Kizaru, who wants to send people to the Science Department again!

It's fine if I just slack off and get paid, but now I'm sending my own brother to slack off...

"Hello everyone, my name is Xia Yu, and I am the one you are supposed to protect!"

"Please give me your guidance!" Xia Yu said in a baby voice.

Uh-huh???

wrong!

What did this little kid say just now?

He is our protected person, which means he is the technological genius that Marshal Zhan Guo mentioned?

Everyone is collectively confused...

Marshal Sengoku's tone in the Den Den Mushi before was very serious, not joking at all!

We thought it would be some big shot...

It turns out that it was an eight-year-old kid who wanted to do scientific research, and he was Kizaru's younger brother...

Don’t we know how smart Kizaru is?

I can just slack off at work and go get a massage and bath with a girl after get off work...

Then his brother is probably the same, definitely not cut out for scientific research...

It's totally off the mark...!

The lieutenant generals looked at each other, and they could see speechless expressions in each other's eyes, but they did not dare to say anything because of the face of the marshal and the general.

Only, helpless smile...

Just when everyone was speechless, Xia Yu spoke again.

"Oh, and my friend, he can't speak!"

The next moment, the fat Cherubim Bear appeared in front of everyone.

Your friend? He can't even speak, what the hell...

However, out of curiosity, the lieutenant generals still looked over.

Then, they saw a child with black wings, gray skin, and flames on his body appear in front of them.

this is...

"There are flames on the wings. Is this the Lunalia family?!"

"Why do I feel like I'm quite similar to a bear?"
