Chapter 319: Secret Talk at the Top of the West

In the research base——

Enelu met Vegapunk through Borsalino's introduction.

As soon as he saw Enel, 'Vegapunk' with a huge head on his head couldn't wait to walk closer and looked at Enel as if he saw a rare treasure.

Enel felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by such an aggressive gaze, but he still spoke calmly:

"Hello, Doctor. I'm Enelu, codenamed Thor, and I'm here to take charge of your future security and defense."

Vegapunk nodded quickly, stuck out his huge tongue, and smiled at Enel:

"Hahaha, of course I know it's you. Your Thunder Fruit has many uses, which is just right for my research. Don't worry, this can also help you deepen the development of the fruit."

Borsalino on the side looked at Enelu with envy:

"Oh my~ Now that I think about it, I won't have the chance to ask the doctor to help me develop my fruit abilities anymore~ I'm so sad~"

During the cooperation in the past few years, 'Vegapunk' also studied Borsalino's Sparkling Fruit from time to time, and even extracted Borsalino's bloodline factor to develop the 'Laser Cannon' that the Five Elders praised.

Now with the arrival of Enel, the user of the Thunder Fruit, Vegapunk can't help but feel excited and want to study the secrets of the Thunder Fruit.

This is the nature of scientists, regardless of camp or good or evil.

Enelu's heart was slightly moved, and he replied without revealing his expression:

"If the doctor is willing, I have no objection. After all, my job also includes cooperating with the doctor's research."

Hearing this, Vegapunk burst into laughter, and Borsalino on the side also looked at Enel with admiration.

however--

Deep in his heart, Enelu was thinking about another question at this moment.

[According to Mr. Lex's intelligence, the real Vegapunk is actually in the West Sky Summit Research Institute, working for Mr. Lex. The 'Vegapunk' in front of me is actually a clone, but he also has the ability of the Brain-Brain Fruit, so Mr. Lex is not reassured. My real mission this time is to divert attention while Mr. Lex is waging war, and wait for an opportunity to 'replace' the 'Vegapunk' in front of me with a brand new clone prepared by Mr. Lex.]

[Now the first task is to gain the trust of the 'Vegapunk' in front of me. However, I know all his identities and intelligence, but he knows nothing about me. This is a huge advantage. ]

Although the young Enelu has some character flaws, his tragic childhood experiences have led to his extremely radical personality.

But since joining CP, Enelu has been constantly improving himself. Now, he is a CP0 with strong strength, super combat power, meticulous mind, and decisive actions. He is the future hope of the entire CP organization and the 'God of Thunder'! ~

It is the most secretive and sharpest knife under Mr. Lex!! ~

……

……

His gaze shifted to the top of the Western Heaven.

Lex had come here from the New World at some point.

In Dr. Indigo's laboratory, Lex and Indigo were secretly discussing a conspiracy about Vegapunk.

"Dr. Indigo, how is his new clone being prepared?"

Dr. Indigo lived up to Lex's expectations and nodded seriously:

"It can replace the 'Vegapunk' within the World Government at any time and be completely under our control."

After years of joint research, Dr. Indigo has already secretly stolen all of Vegapunk's bloodline factor technology, as well as Vegapunk's own bloodline factor.

Therefore, under the secret instructions of Lex, Dr. Indigo had already secretly created a brand new "Vegapunk" who could replace the one that Enel "protected" at any time.

This is Lex's plot against Vegapunk!

It was easy for Lex to kill Vegapunk himself at the Top of the West.

But the 'Vegapunk' within the World Government might have some secret connection with the original Vegapunk in the Westworld. After all, Lex is not a scientist, so he cannot guarantee the ins and outs of this.

The most reliable method is -

Just kill them all!! ~

However, if Lex directly kills the Vegapunk clone within the World Government, it will not be worth it.

This not only offended Im, but also attracted a wave of hatred, and had a bad impact on Lex's future plan to backstab the world government with technology.

Therefore, while killing the 'Vegapunk' clone within the World Government, it is also necessary to secretly replace it with a new 'Vegapunk' to continue serving Lex.

The person who was responsible for killing the clone of Vegapunk and replacing him secretly was——

Eneloo!

Return to the top of the West Heaven——

Lex and Dr. Indigo were in a different dimension. Lex suddenly looked at the different dimensions around him and asked:

"Regarding the second awakening of the fruit, how is Vegapunk's research progressing?"

Dr. Indigo pondered for a moment and replied slowly:

"Young Master, in fact, the method has been researched, but the risk is too great. We suggest that you do not try it yourself for the time being. We are currently conducting experiments on a large number of fruit ability users. Once the method is stable, it will not be too late for you to perform the second awakening of the space fruit."

Lex understood and nodded slightly:

"So what is the method that Vegapunk has developed?"

"Eat the 'devil' inside the fruit!"

"Oh? To devour the 'devil' inside a devil fruit?"

Dr. Indigo continued to nod and said:

"That's right. According to the research that Vegapunk and I have been doing day and night, we found that the devil fruit is essentially a gene sequence, which is a special bloodline factor."

After a pause, Dr. Indigo continued to explain:

"This bloodline factor is stored inside the devil fruit. When a creature eats a devil fruit, its body will be integrated with this bloodline factor and become a new 'creature'. This is why most people with special abilities have better physiques, especially animals. Secondly, as a gene sequence, this bloodline factor naturally determines its upper limit, which is what people call 'fruit awakening'. If you want to surpass this upper limit, break the limit, and have what the young master calls 'second awakening', you are destroying this gene sequence, which means destroying your own body."

"This method is extremely risky and has a frighteningly low success rate, because the genetic sequence of the devil fruit is extremely strong and extremely stable. For example, the fruit ability user is naturally restricted by seawater and seastone. In fact, this is because the underlying factors of the devil fruit are naturally restricted by the sea factor. As the fruit ability user continues to exercise his ability, he can resist the suppression of the sea in a short period of time. This is violating the underlying law of the devil fruit, that is, breaking his own bloodline factor. If this process is persisted for a long time, it is possible to break the limit of the devil fruit."

"Of course, no matter what method is used, the core approach is to devour the 'devil' in the devil fruit, that is, the inferior gene sequence, and only retain the powerful gene sequence related to the fruit ability, and completely transform it into its own ability. Even Vegapunk boldly speculated that if the so-called second awakening is completed, the fruit ability will be completely integrated with the ability user and cannot be separated. It can no longer become a new devil fruit. Even after the ability user dies, there should be a brand new devil fruit named after the original ability user and circulated in the sea again."

At this point, Dr. Indigo looked at Lex:

"Young Master, I think that the Nika Fruit was most likely the result of a parahuman ability user undergoing a secondary awakening of the fruit, transforming it into a completely new fruit, a mythical beast species. The pure white flame Nika warrior form recorded in history is most likely the form of the previous ability user before his death."

After hearing these words, Lex's understanding of devil fruits reached a whole new level.

Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals.

Lex looked down at his palm. On his palm, a ball of pure compressed dark blue space force condensed. Lex pondered, then slowly said:

"It means that you use your own power to change the bloodline factor granted by the devil fruit, right?"

"Yes, young master."

"Well, you did a great job, these studies are very useful."

Hearing Lex's words, Dr. Indigo's brows twitched, and he said in a panic:

"Young Master, I am not telling you this to encourage you to try the second awakening right now. There are great risks involved. You absolutely cannot do this. With your current combat power, even without the second awakening, you can still roam the Qinghai region and be invincible."

Dr. Indigo thought Lex was going to try to awaken again, so he gave him advice in a panic.

Lex smiled faintly:

"Am I such a reckless person? Don't worry, I won't try it rashly before a safe awakening method is researched. In addition, I will ask Uncle Rhine to send another batch of ability test subjects to the top of the West to speed up the research on the second awakening."

"Yes."

Lex continued:

"Also, we can start preparing for the alien surgery. We need to find more test subjects and test the dual fruit abilities. Once the technology is mature and stable, I will eat the second fruit. You only need to know about this. Vegapunk and anyone else do not need to participate."

Dr. Indigo looked serious and replied respectfully:

"As you command, young master."

"Indigo, don't be so formal. According to seniority, I should call you uncle."

Dr. Indigo was stunned:

"Young Master, you are too kind. My life was saved by the Admiral. For the Admiral and Young Master, I can do anything."

"Yeah haha."

Indeed, although Lex has extraordinary combat power, the huge forces under his command, and even the foundation of the entire Maritime Kingship Alliance, were actually accumulated by his elders.

Without the support of Golden Lion, Red Earl, White Beard, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Shanuo, Roy and others, Lex is just a more powerful Rocks.

How could he, at the age of 28, dare to launch a war of such magnitude that had not been seen in eight hundred years and thus change the world situation?

Where does his confidence come from?

Because he has so many people supporting him, he dare not let down this support and responsibility.

He must be cautious, he must be steady, he must be foolproof, and he must advance rapidly until he unifies Qinghai.

The most important thing at hand, the most important layout——

The war of 1498 is coming...
