Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

After a simple try, the DOM boots did indeed tighten a bit, and what surprised him was that this seemingly stuffy clothing was actually very cool and light.

On the other hand, Reiner changed into a sky blue floral shirt and paired it with shorts, looking like he was on vacation at the beach and full of summer style.

Brooke was also wearing a pink floral shirt, and the same thing was that all three of them wore cylindrical boots.

"Next, I'll take you to the research level. The dome border isn't expanded yet, so we can just fly up there."

As she spoke, flames shot out from the bottom of Lilith's DOM boots, slowly lifting her into the air like a rocket propeller.

"This is achieved by the anti-gravity device combined with the thrusters. You can try it too. Move the adjustment lever and press the button next to it at the same time."

Lilith smiled and patted her boots to indicate.

"Yohohoho~ Looks so handsome!"

When Brook heard that he was going to go to the sky island layer above, he danced with excitement.

"Where are Luffy and the others?"

Zoro just glanced at Sky Island lightly and asked Lilith.

Being in the territory of the World Government, as a pirate he had to remain vigilant, especially towards the woman in front of him who called herself Vegapunk. Although she did not make any threats, Zoro could always vaguely feel the other party's hidden hostility.

"They're with the main body and will be taking the vacuum rocket up soon. We can just go ahead."

Seeing that Sauron remained unmoved, Lilith put away her smile and said in a somewhat impatient tone:

"Tsk, anyway, my job is to guide you up there, whether you want to come or not."

After saying that, she walked away, leaving the three of them standing there. Reiner fiddled with his boots and floated up like Lilith.

"interesting."

Normally, he was carried by the dead when flying, and he had only experienced this kind of flying experience in his dreams.

He was not yet familiar with the control techniques, so he tried his best to maintain his balance. Feeling the weightlessness of his body and the wind blowing in his face, Reiner felt a sense of novelty in his heart.

"Let's go, Luffy and the others will be fine."

Reiner curled his lips and turned around and said, chasing in the direction of Lilith, followed by Zoro and Brook.

"Oh wow! I'm flying! My whole body is shaking with excitement. I'm so excited that I almost peed myself!"

boom! !

Lilith raised her hand and blasted Brook back with a bazooka.

Soon, the group boarded the cotton-white cloud carrying the huge eggshell, the Egghead Research Layer.

Lilith put up a sign that said "Skeletons and dogs are prohibited from urinating anywhere" and led them inside.

Their feet felt soft and elastic on the island clouds. The clouds here were exactly the same as those on the sky island, including the outer sea of ​​clouds that they had just flown over.

According to Lilith, this is achieved by using air conditioning throughout the island. The principle is the same as that of the Sky Island, and it is formed by condensing salt crystals from water.

Arriving at the gate of the research institute, Lilith did not open the door, but directly bumped into the large square steel plate, and her whole body disappeared into it silently.

Reiner followed the other person's example and walked in without asking any questions. The only thing he asked was the power of technology.

Entering the room, the blue floor is clean and simple, almost like a piece of screen panels. Small robots walk nearby from time to time. Various mechanical structures and bright neon lights make people feel as if they have entered the interior of a spaceship.

"Lilith, is Seraph on the island now?"

Reiner suddenly spoke, and his words surprised Lilith.

Research on Seraph began long ago, but only recently came to light and has remained one of the World Government's top secrets.

But on second thought, this campaign to subdue the Seven Warlords of the Sea caused a lot of controversy and attracted the attention of the whole world, so it is understandable that some information about the Seraphs was leaked.

Lilith turned around and replied:

"One, the S-Shark, is at the lab. The others are on loan for testing."

"test?"

"Well, S-Bear is at CP, and the others are loaned to the navy to capture the Shichibukai. Why, do you want to give it a try?"

"Right! Hey, come give it a try, Reiner."

Lilith's eyes lit up as she suddenly thought of something.

"The strongest man in the world and the strongest human I invented can definitely collect very valuable combat data. By the way, let me teach you a lesson."

"Forget it, there's only one. This thing is expensive, right? I can't afford to pay for it if it breaks."

Reiner waved her off.

If seven Seraphim joined forces, they would definitely be able to get the better deal from him. If there was only one, he really wouldn't be interested.

Without the four Seraphs working together, they couldn't even contain Reiner. Although this sounded a bit harsh to Lilith, she sneered in disdain:

"Arrogant man, tsk, you're not scared, are you?"

"Yes, I'm scared. He's worthy of being the world's number one scientist. His inventions are unrivaled."

Reiner was immune to provocation and responded with sarcastic taunts.

Lilith clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger.

How can this person be so mean?

"Hmph! Speaking of which, S-Eagle and S-Snake should be back soon. Just wait and see. I'll teach you a lesson when they do!"

Lilith stomped her foot in anger.

Instead, Zoro became interested in the so-called Seraph.

"The strongest human? Luffy's grandfather said that thing should be similar to a pacifist. Is it that powerful?"

"Straw Hat's grandfather?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"I see. Garp told you."

"You should have seen pacifists and bears. Although they look identical, there's a huge difference in their strength. Those pacifists aren't really a threat to you, though."

"On this basis, the Seraph also contains the bloodline factors of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and with the corresponding fruit abilities that can be used freely, the combat power is not inferior to the original body."

Lilith raised the corners of her mouth proudly.

Zoro's eyes were blazing, and his tone was filled with eagerness:

"Can they use their fruit abilities proficiently? Then they are no different from the original bodies."

"Conversely, the Seraph's combat power is equivalent to that of the Shichibukai who can use lasers?"

Zoro understood this and asked again:

"Can they use Haki?"

"Of course, Seraphim can use observation Haki and armament Haki."

Lilith stopped, spread her legs, put her hands on her hips and faced Zoro.

"Don't think of them as robots like the pacifists. The only thing that limits their abilities is their age. They're still only eight years old, after all."

"However, because I fused them with the Lunaria bloodline factor, there is no need to worry about their physical strength, and they will continue to grow in the future."

"Lunalia tribe?"

"Yes, you should have seen it before. It's Kaido's subordinate, Flame Disaster Jin."

In response to Brooke's doubts, Lilith mentioned a person they all knew.

Their skin is brown, and they have black wings with flames on their backs. The more vigorously the flames burn, the stronger the defense given to their bodies, making them invulnerable to swords and guns. Conversely, it will give them extremely fast speed.

It can be said that they are one of the races with the strongest physical abilities. If they had not been extinct, the world's number one race today might not necessarily be giants.

After Lilith's explanation, Zoro and Brook couldn't help but refresh their understanding of Seraphim.

"From what you said, these guys are ridiculously strong."

"nonsense."

Lilith folded her arms over her chest and raised her head, then changed the subject and said, "

"Of course, after all, they are still young, and they are indeed not old enough to deal with an opponent of the level of the Sea Emperor."

"During the operation to capture the Pirate Empress, due to the interference of Blackbeard Teach and former Navy Admiral Aokiji, S-Hawk and S-Snake both suffered significant injuries. The Navy has escorted them back."

Lilith's expression darkened a little.

Hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and Zoro couldn't help but wonder:

"Why are Blackbeard and Aokiji there?"

"As a result, what is the current situation on Nine Snake Island?"

Reiner knew that the other party was targeting Hancock's ability, and it was a bit unexpected that Aokiji also went there.

Hancock is their friend and helped them during the Battle of Marineford, so they are quite concerned about her safety.

"I heard that he was captured by Blackbeard, but I don't know the details."

Lilith said with a shrug.

Aside from the situation of the Seraphs, the Navy would not report other information in detail to a scientist, but the Straw Hat Pirates would.

Lilith took a quick glance and noticed that they were all frowning. She couldn't help but feel curious:

"What's wrong? Do you care?"

"Yeah, we know each other."

Reiner replied casually, then turned to look at the two of them. Zoro and Brook were also looking at him, as if they had the same answer in their minds.

——Let’s talk about it later.

There's no point in rushing this kind of thing, just find someone else to join you first.

"Let's keep walking."

Reiner took a step forward and said to Lilith:

"The subjugation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea took place a few days ago. Blackbeard's headquarters is on Beehive Island. If you consider the distance he has traveled, he probably hasn't returned yet."

"It should be about time. The navy is almost here to send Seraph back. Beehive Island isn't that far from here."
