Chapter 204 Hunter and Prey
New world, all nations.
"Artificial devil fruit, I didn't expect that Caesar, that loser, could actually research such a good thing."
Charlotte Lingling looked at the news in the newspaper with a look of surprise.
What the newspaper said was not an exaggeration. Artificial devil fruits do have the potential to change the world.
Whoever masters the artificial devil fruit can produce an endless army of people with special abilities.
A large number of medium and high-level combat forces are a very good choice whether it is to conquer the world or consolidate power.
Caesar got a large sum of money from her for a project to study human gigantism, but there has been no news so far.
Thinking of this, Charlotte Linlin's face darkened. Caesar was the first Bailey to deceive the Four Emperors.
"Katakusu, bring Caesar back for mom."
Charlotte Lingling said to her capable son.
"Yes, Mom."
Katakusu agreed without hesitation, and then asked, "How much funding will mom give me?"
"Twenty million Baileys!"
"No, let's just give it 100 million Baileys."
Charlotte Lingling said distressedly.
I wonder how many desserts I can buy with this money.
"I understand."
Katakura showed an expression of "as expected", but agreed calmly.
One hundred million berries cannot buy the technology to create an artificial devil fruit, and even buying one to take a look is a problem.
So, the 100 million Baileys are his travel expenses and hard work fee.
This time, extraordinary measures must be used.
However, although he believed that he was quite powerful, he would definitely not be able to defeat Lowen, who was recognized as the new emperor.
Apart from that, he is still confident in defeating others besides the Four Emperors.
All he had to do was wait for Lowen to sell Caesar, and then he could go find a buyer.
"You are worthy of being your mother's good son. Go now."
Charlotte Linlin stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth and looked at Katakuru with admiration.
Now it seems that Katakura has completely understood what she meant.
That's right, she and Kaido had the same idea, just rob it. It must be said that these two are worthy of being former companions, and even their ideas are surprisingly consistent.
"Yes, Mom."
Katakuri bowed and walked out of the hall.
……
New world.
A huge ship was moving slowly on the sea. It was Whitebeard's Moby Dick.
“Young people today are really amazing!”
Whitebeard was on an IV drip, looking full of emotion.
Even artificial devil fruits are being sold. This is really a big deal.
"Dad, are we going to take a look?"
Marco, who was serving, asked with interest.
"There's no need to go and see this excitement."
Whitebeard waved his hands and looked at the sky weakly.
If he were young and strong, he would definitely join in the fun and might even challenge Luo Wen to a fight.
But he is old now and very sick.
The so-called artificial devil fruit had no appeal to him.
There is no need to waste his remaining vitality.
Now, I should conserve my strength and protect my sons for a while longer.
"I know, Dad."
Seeing Whitebeard like this, Marco felt sad.
Although I am unwilling to accept it, the facts are already before my eyes.
The father who was a powerful figure many years ago is now a candle in the wind.
"What's that expression on your face? I'm still alive and well!"
"Do you think I, your father, can't lift a knife anymore? I'm very strong. Beating ten of you is no big deal!"
Whitebeard looked at Marco, who looked like he was about to die, and cursed with a smile.
"hey-hey."
Marco, who is in his forties, touched his head awkwardly, as if he were still a child.
……
The red-haired pirates.
Shanks looked at the newspaper in his hand and smiled: "Lowen really doesn't feel comfortable unless he does something. He even dares to sell something like this!"
This is artificial devil fruit technology, something that can really change the world.
It is so bold of Luo Wen to openly auction it to the whole world.
"Redhead, why don't you go grab this boy and teach him a lesson!"
Jesus said with a smirk.
"This kid is so arrogant, Red Hair, you can't be a coward."
"Yes, Captain, go tell Luo Wencai the truth about not showing off!"
"Come on, Shanks, we all believe you're great!"
On the other side, Laci Lu and his companions also joined in the fun, and even Beckman, who was usually calm, joined in.
"Go to hell, you want to see me fight so badly!"
Shanks had a dark face and looked gloomy.
These bad friends are all worse than the other.
Wouldn't it hurt to let a one-armed disabled person like him fight?
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Shanks like this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
They were not worried at all about Loven who kidnapped Uta.
The auction of the artificial devil fruit would certainly cause a huge stir, but it was nothing compared to that person.
……
New world.
On a huge and magnificent ship, countless pirates were living a life of drunkenness and losing all their money.
The tall man in a golden suit looked down at everything, a hint of joy in his calm eyes.
"Mr. Tezulo, today's newspaper."
The attendant handed over a newspaper and said respectfully.
"Ah."
Tezoro nodded slightly and took the newspaper calmly.
The moment I saw the newspaper, I couldn't remain calm.
Artificial Devil Fruit Technology!
The Devil Fruit is a secret treasure in the sea, a treasure that countless people flock to.
Does artificial devil fruit technology really exist?
Tezulo read the newspaper carefully, not missing any information.
After reading it, Tezulo was completely shocked.
The pictures and information above all prove that artificial devil fruits are real.
"But Lord Lowen, do you want to sell even this kind of technology?"
Tezoro stroked the ring, his face changing from gloomy to happy.
The technology of artificial devil fruits can be used to build an army of people with special abilities, and its value is immeasurable.
If he had such a good thing in his hands, he would never show it to others.
And since Lowen actually wants to sell it, it's hard not to suspect there's some conspiracy.
fishing?
Or are you really short of money?
"Forget it, let's buy it first."
Tezulo still couldn't resist the temptation.
As the world's richest man, he knows the importance of power.
Don’t be fooled by his current glory. Even the Celestial Dragons and the World Government have to be under his command to some extent.
But he knew that he could never act presumptuous in front of a truly strong person.
If they really wanted to overturn the table and start a fight, he would be slaughtered and eaten immediately. That huge fortune was his confidence, but also his source of trouble.
If he had an army of people with special abilities, he would be safer.
Maybe, this power can be used to overthrow the World Government and destroy those damn Celestial Dragons.
Thinking of his beloved who was bought by the Celestial Dragons and tortured to death, Tesoro couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"I'm determined to acquire the technology to create an artificial devil fruit!"
Tezulo clenched his fists and swore an oath.
He had already imagined how fierce the competition would be this time.
But when it comes to money, he has never been afraid of anyone.
He is the Golden Emperor who controls 20% of the world's Pele!
The only thing to worry about is whether he can leave safely.
Sharing the same idea as Tesoro are other kings of the underworld, such as the Shipping King, the Loan Shark King, and the Warehousing King.
They knew that this auction would definitely cause a big stir, but the temptation of artificial devil fruit technology was enough for them to give it a try.
