Chapter 134 Preparations
Lex returned to the West Sea with Gion.
This time when he came to the New World, Lex did several things.
First, he witnessed Camus destroying the country of Prodans, and used "Space Teleport" to help Camus.
Allowing him to kill Elizabelo I as quickly as possible.
Secondly, he contacted Stussy of the Tuss Islands and asked her to act as a middleman to deliver his handwritten letter to Morgans who was hiding somewhere unknown, in order to plan the upcoming Pirate Expo.
Third, send invitation letters to the other big pirates, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, BIG MOM and others, invitation letters to the Pirate Expo.
After all, they are nominally all forces belonging to one's own side.
There are also people like Kaido, Hirakawa Toratsugu (introduced in Chapter 76), Bondi Waldo…
These pirates or wanderers, who were not very famous, sent some invitations.
Give them enough face!
I believe there will be no one who will not give Lex this face.
As for the World Government, it’s not the right time yet.
Lex wants to meet Im in person!
but not now.
top priority.
It is to let Vegapunk complete the items and technologies needed for the World Expo!
-
Xitianzhiding Research Institute.
"Doctor, how is the research going?"
Lex and Gion sat in the core research institute, surrounded by technological power that did not belong to this era!
Tiny and sophisticated nanomachines are densely packed all over the figure lying on the research machine.
That’s right, the former acting general manager of CP – Shi!
Yes, he is not dead.
Last time, Lex set up a trap, using a fake "Vegapunk" to deceive the world, replace the original with the fake one, and lure the snake out of its hole.
He played a trick on the world government and completed a series of far-reaching plans.
At least now, the World Government has taken the initiative to acknowledge that the New World belongs to Rex and made a "ten-year" promise, in which "Vegapunk" is an indispensable element.
More importantly, he captured Shi, a weakling among the top strong men, alive.
Shiki is just a weak general, totally inferior to the former CP general - Zero!
That man deserves to be buried by Lex himself in a thousand miles of maple and locust trees, and given a bouquet of sky blue.
But now, the half-dead Shiki’s body has been torn into pieces and has been transformed beyond recognition!
With the naked eye, you can see the metal parts working precisely inside his body!
Transformation of people!
Vegapunk, who still had a huge head, did not turn his head when he heard Lex's question, and continued to stare at the research data in his hand:
"Everything went smoothly. It was a piece of cake for our scientist to take action. However, I have not been able to resolve the issue of his ability to use the Speed-Speed Fruit for the time being."
After hearing what Vegapunk said, Lex asked:
"Is it because the bloodline factor of the Parahuman Fruit cannot be perfectly replicated countless times to create clones?"
Vegapunk didn't care about Lex and Gion at first, and was only focusing on his own research. But when he heard Lex's questions with several professional terms, his impression of Lex changed:
"Wow! You know so much about technology? .... Um..., but it's not the reason you said. What I mean is that Shiki's original Speed-Speed Fruit has been perfectly combined with his own innate bloodline factor!"
"Because of awakening?"
Lex asked tentatively. As for Gion next to him, he kept looking at the technological creation in front of him with curiosity.
"Yes! Because of the awakening! You who have awakened the Space Fruit must have had some idea of what a devil fruit is. To put it simply, it is a bloodline factor that is entrusting to the fruit! A bloodline factor that humans cannot evolve on their own even after countless years. Just imagine, no matter how much we evolve, we cannot rely on our own strength to travel through the void, release earthquakes, and control gravity, right?"
Lex nodded and listened seriously to the analysis of the world's number one scientist in front of him.
Vegapunk continued:
"And the bloodline factors of humans themselves are roughly determined. Even if they evolve, they have to rely on countless years of polishing, accumulation, and natural selection. But after eating the devil fruit, the different bloodline factors at both ends will undergo a wonderful fusion! !~"
At this point, Vegapunk couldn't help but raise his head, showing the excitement of a scientist.
"As we all know, forcibly fusing two different bloodline factors will only lead to one result - death!"
"However, the devil fruit seems to be completely unrestrained by this and can be combined with humans at will, even with the dwarfs, fishmen, giants, long-armed people, furry people, etc. So I have been wondering if the bloodline factor of the devil fruit can be fused with objects! ——"
Lex immediately caught the highlight:
"Does it mean that the item ate the devil fruit?"
Vegapunk was very excited:
"Yes! According to the bloodline factor theory I discovered, this is completely feasible! In fact! Now that we understand the nature of the Devil Fruit, we can even create a Devil Fruit! We can replicate the same fruit!"
"......It's just.....It's just that, judging from the situation, once a devil fruit is eaten, it's very difficult to perfectly replicate it!"
"So, replicating a Shiki is possible! Replicating the Speedy-Speedy Fruit is possible! But replicating a Shiki that has awakened the power of the Speedy-Speedy Fruit is currently impossible!"
Lex: "Does this mean that when humans eat a devil fruit, their bloodline factors will undergo more complex changes, increasing the difficulty of replicating it?"
"Yes, so, I thought of mechanical transformation, transforming Shiki into a cyborg while retaining his ability of the Speedy Fruit, to complete a perfect blueprint!"
"Blueprint?"
Gion, who was confused by what the two were saying, suddenly spoke.
Vegapunk nodded his huge head:
"Yes! As long as we complete such a blueprint, we can get countless Shiki who ate the Speed-Speed Fruit! Such power!"
Lex's heart was pounding, but he remained calm:
"Doctor, you can continue your research without any worries about resources and funding, and don't worry too much about trivial matters in the outside world. As long as you complete this research, you will definitely be able to promote the progress of the ocean!"
Bewitched by Lex, Vegapunk nodded vigorously.
"By the way, Doctor, what about clones of those special species?"
Lex thought of these indispensable "materials" for the Expo.
"Oh, that, I'll leave it to Indigo. His biotechnology, combined with the bloodline factor blueprint I gave him, is fully capable of handling these tasks."
Lex was overjoyed.
Double happiness!
Vegapunk gave Indigo the blueprint of the bloodline factor, and the clone of the special race was created.
Lex has multiple plans for everything he does!
Including the treatment of Vegapunk.
What if one day Vegapunk and I have different ideas?
Well, I'm sorry, the Brain-Brain Fruit was taken away, those technological creations were taken away, and your life was taken away too.
However, it seems that Vegapunk has not shown any aversion to Lex's ideas.
Next, we need to prepare other precious prizes and slaves to increase the weight and appeal of the Pirate Expo!
At that time, all the heroes on the sea will gather!
