Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 989 Retreat, cloud of war

New World, Hongye Island.

This island, which is located at the junction of three fixed waterways and is relatively prosperous in commerce, has become the temporary headquarters of the Lionheart Pirates.

After attending Whitebeard's funeral, after Ren returned to the island, he began to retreat.

Not in the bedroom, this time, he set up a laboratory with complete equipment, collected a lot of papers and materials on devil fruit research, and started more in-depth research.

In the laboratory with white walls, the lights are bright.

Ren's eyes were silver-white, as if all emotions had faded away, leaving only cold and pure reason. He put the orange fruit with spiral arabesque pattern on the plate on the ultra-clean workbench, and carefully moved it along the spiral with a knife. Pattern, start cutting.

Just be careful and don't worry about this breaking the devil fruit.

The conduction and transfer of devil fruit abilities are regular.

Some people took a bite of the fruit and gained abilities, while others swallowed it whole just to be on the safe side. Considering that the devil fruit tastes like poop, I have to say that the latter are all ruthless people...

There are also people, such as Kalifa and Kaku of the original CP9, when taking bubble fruit and giraffe fruit, they first cut with a knife, peel the skin, and then eat it.

According to Lane's research, under normal circumstances, only when the pulp of the devil fruit is damaged and there is a biochemical reaction with mammals, the ability will be transferred.

If the transmission mechanism of the fruit can be "cheated" in some way, the devil fruit ability can be transferred to inorganic matter.

For example, Spandam's Elephant Sword.

Of course, after the devil fruit is damaged or cut, the pulp will slowly rot like a normal fruit, and the power will be transferred after decay.

"A complete devil fruit will hardly rot. The secret lies in the spiral-shaped arabesque-patterned skin. It is like a magical plastic wrap that can insulate..."

Ren was wearing a white coat, talking softly to himself, while skillfully cutting off a small piece of orange peel from the surface of the shaking fruit to make a glass specimen.

Then, his pupils began to zoom in and out, and his silver eyes scanned the orange peel like a microscope.

If a devil fruit is to be stored for a long time, the skin should not be damaged.

Otherwise, either eat part of the pulp in time to obtain the ability in it, or at least 1 million Berries will be in vain.

But Ren just cut the Zhenzhen fruit, and he will not take the fruit directly.

He is not afraid of the ability of the shaking fruit to be transferred away. The "Eye of Delusion Breaker" can directly see and lock the essence of the power of the devil fruit. If the ability starts to transfer, he will use the "Sky Lock" to intercept and restrain it.

Moreover, with the deepening of research, he has been able to use other means to preserve the damaged devil fruit.

On the right side of the ultra-clean workbench, there is a large glass bottle filled with light blue liquid.

A strawberry was soaked in the glass bottle, and its outer skin was covered with spiral patterns of "Arabica-like", half of which was bright red, and half of which had been peeled off, revealing the white flesh.

This strawberry is "Superman Series·Sweet Fruit" and serves as a control group.

Soon, Ryan put on sterile gloves, took out the half-peeled strawberry in the glass bottle, and observed it intently.

"Extracting the cell fluid from the arabesque pattern on the devil fruit's epidermis, it really has a similar fresh-keeping effect... tsk tsk, and the effect is amazing."

This light blue extract was named "Devil's Tears" by him.

After extracting some samples, he used his projection ability to duplicate a few bottles.

This sweet fruit was half peeled a few days before he attended Whitebeard's funeral, but it was soaked in the light blue liquid "Devil's Tears", without any signs of decay.

Then, Ryan took out another steak that had been kept at a constant temperature of 30 degrees.

The surface of the steak is also coated with "devil's tears". After a week of storage, it is still as fresh as when it was just purchased.

There are also ordinary fruits, and even a bowl of cooked rice, all of which are in the same state as when they were freshly baked.

"It's unbelievable. It's not limited to fruits, steaks, and cooked rice, and there are no signs of deterioration or decay. According to the deduction and estimation of the magic eye, this effect can last for decades."

Ryan observed the steak, marveled, and muttered, "That is, in the OP world, if it were on Earth, with this, I could win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine."

Devil's tears, as long as the surface is smeared or soaked, can keep meat, fruits, grains and almost most of the organic matter fresh like a "time pause", or at room temperature.

Moreover, this substance itself is non-toxic and harmless and can be eaten.

Don't worry, although it is a substance extracted from the skin of the devil fruit, it does not have any special smell, and it will not taste like stool.

In comparison, formalin is simply weak.

But Devil's Tears, while fun and powerful, were too difficult to produce.

The raw materials need to be extracted from the devil fruit, and it is not certain that it can be synthesized by other methods. Ren always uses the ability to copy to make so many at once.

Because it has nothing to do with the main purpose, Ren soon put aside the subject of "How to artificially produce and sell "Devil's Tears" on a large scale" and continued to decipher the essence of the shaking fruit.

He continued to peel the orange with a knife, and cut open half of the orange, revealing the fresh and tender orange flesh inside. The silver-white eyes shot out several feet of light beams, scanning the internal structure inch by inch like X-rays.

The scanning analysis function of the magic eye is very powerful, even polarizing microscopes, optical microscopes, electron microscopes, digital microscopes and other types of microscopes can't match it together.

In addition, his projection ability can also create creations in the void, so learning and researching everything is very fast.

With the help of various equipment in the laboratory, the progress of the experiment on deciphering the "Superman Series: Zhenzhen Fruit" began to speed up.

Also, refer to previous experience and some results.

After working for a long time, at noon, Master Ren sat down outside the door of the laboratory, holding a bacon sandwich in his hand, flipping through a stack of materials while eating, and making complaints about it.

"Dr. Vegapunk, it's really amazing. Apply biological fluid on the surface of inorganic matter, and then use a high-temperature furnace to stir and dilute the sea floor stone powder to intensify the radiation effect of PYROBROIN horny particles..."

"What's the matter with M. Caesar Courant, this rubbish assistant? The turbulence phenomenon is very complicated, so the data will not be processed? At least get a phenomenological model."

"Gazhi is good. He found another way. He can think of this rather cheap bloodline factor replication technology. Unfortunately, the theory still has flaws..."

If I see farther than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants - Newton.

Ren recognized this sentence very much, although Sir Niu didn't seem to be modest when he said this sentence back then, but to mock Hook...

These research materials come from the Don Quixote family, Caesar Courant secretly served Tian Yasha, and he worked with Dr. Vegapunk.

In this world, information about "Devil Fruit" is very precious, even taboo. When Ren asked for these things, Brother Ming was still a little reluctant.

Thanks to these materials, his research on the Zhenzhen fruit began to take on wings.

Ren is not a reckless man, although he only received nine years of compulsory education when he was on Earth.

But when he was in the main world, he also went to university for a period of time.

The most important thing is his girlfriend, Princess Keisha, she is not only a Valkyrie who can fight, but also a top student of the Imperial Royal Academy, a proper academic master, with several doctorates in mathematics, physics and biology.

When we first got along, Keisha was not so much his girlfriend as his teacher.

In addition to teaching him swordsmanship, she also tutored him at home, teaching him mathematics, runes, alchemy, extraordinary biology, general history of the continent, economics, aristocratic etiquette, and social dance.

Although they are all the technology trees of the main world, they have greatly improved Ren's knowledge level.

In his heart, Keisha is a beautiful teacher, or tutor.

For her, love, respect, and a little fear.

Therefore, on the night when he ate the forbidden fruit, when he pushed Keisha down and pressed her under him, it was very exciting...

The princess' teachings played a huge role. Renn's outstanding swordsmanship and physical skills are almost half of her credit, and the rest of the knowledge has also come in handy.

Looking back now, it was indeed a very far-sighted decision for Kaisha to strongly request and supervise him to study and study...

After hastily finishing his lunch, Ren suppressed his longing for the princess and plunged into the laboratory to continue his research.

As for the pirates, he left it all to Nana, Barrett and Shiliu of the Rain.

The other four emperors may not dare to play like this, but he can.

Barrett is an old pirate with experience.

Nana is young, but her strength is comparable to that of Aokiji and Kizaru, enough to suppress everything, and it is impossible for her to lose without meeting the other four emperors.

Even if she encounters the Four Emperors, she can handle it.

Do you dare to say that Bigmom can defeat the yellow monkey?
Therefore, Ren retreated directly and devoted himself to research. Even the three meals were delivered by the maid Stuci, or he took out dry food directly from the space door.

This retreat, according to his plan, would last for two months.

And after he leaves the level, when everything is ready, he will invite Mihawk "Eagle Eye" to fight, and use him as an experience bag to advance to the double fifth rank.

.........

The Demon King was completely silent.

But the sea showed no sign of calming down.

On the contrary, as the Pirate Empress declared war on the Beast Pirates in the name of Emperor Amazon Lily in front of a group of reporters, the New World, and even the entire Great Route, have been boiling over the past few days.

The cloud of war enveloped the entire new world.

And it's... the imperial battle!
The last time there was a confrontation of this level was 25 years ago, when the legendary great pirate "Golden Lion" VS Roger was known in history as the "Ait Wall Naval Battle".

In this battle, the desperate Roger Pirates were rescued by a sudden storm and miraculously won.

Not long after, Roger arrived at Lough Drew, conquered the Great Route, and was crowned king.

The Golden Lion, like Napoleon after the Battle of Waterloo, quickly disappeared, and the glorious flying pirates also became history.

Winners and losers, such a stark contrast, and the bloody reality, also alert the latecomers.

If it hadn't been for the "Ait Vol sea battle", no one in the sea would doubt that the Golden Lion would at least be one of the emperors of the sea today, just like Whitebeard.

And now, he has almost disappeared, either dead or hiding somewhere.

The Pirate Queen's declaration of war against Kaido is almost as influential as the Golden Lion VS Roger. One can imagine what kind of uproar it caused at sea.

East China Sea, Rogue Town.

"It's over for her, she dared to kill the strongest creature, the Nine Snake Pirates and Daughter's Island that have been passed down for hundreds of years will be destroyed by that crazy woman!"

A drunken alcoholic uncle held a newspaper titled "The Contest of Hegemony, Empress VS Kaido" and shook his head repeatedly.

"Hehe, it's hard to say. What is the strongest creature? It has fought fiercely several times in the past. Except for the one 11 years ago, did Kaido win against the Empress?"

Another uncle retorted. He looked at the empress's face and hot figure in the newspaper, showing a wretched smile like an idiot.

Although it is impossible to kiss Fangze, it does not prevent him from supporting his "wife".

"That's right, maybe this time the empress will repeat the myth of Gol D. Roger and get out of control, and Kaido is the golden lion, the sun is fading away, and he has never recovered from it..."

Great Route, Chambord.

"MD, not long after the war on the top, the life-and-death battle of the two emperors broke out again, and let people live?"

"Yeah, it's an eventful time, and it feels like the whole world is in chaos."

"You say, who will win?"

"Beast Kaido, after all, is the strongest creature. I admit that the Empress is very strong, but Kaido is stronger, and he is recognized as the king of heads-up."

"One-on-one king? You can pull it down, it was once, Kaido had the guts to go one-on-one with the demon king, I guarantee he will be the one who kneels down." Someone said disdainfully.

Everyone: "..."

Indeed, the man with the greatest record at sea, at least for now, is Francis D. Wren.

In the Battle of the Top, with his appalling performance, he convinced almost all the strong men in the world, and even being named the strongest man in the world by many newspapers did not cause any controversy.

Someone pouted: "But, the empress is not a bloodthirsty swordsman."

Everyone: "..."

.........

New World, Dressrosa.

"Young master, this, what should we do now?"

King's Heights, by the circular swimming pool, Diamanti is holding a copy titled "A Showdown, Nine Snakes Pirates VS Hundred Beasts Pirates!" "Newspaper, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Others may be able to watch the excitement, but their Don Quixote family may not be able to stay out of it.

Because, they colluded with the Hundred Beasts Pirates... for a deal, secretly counting them as allies.

"Heh heh... don't intervene for now, just wait and see what happens."

Brother Ming was lying on the recliner with an evil smile on his face, but his mood was not as relaxed as he expressed, under the sunglasses, his eyes were solemn.

Not so good, the Don Quixote family actually colluded with the Nine Snakes secretly.

Now that the two partners are deadlocked, his situation is very embarrassing.

In the bottom of his heart, Brother Ming wished that the Empress and Kaido would play out their brains, and it would be best to die together, but he was afraid that being caught between the two would become a sad cannon fodder + punching bag.

Diamanti reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and whispered:

"But, young master, Plague Quinn called and asked us to support them, or at a critical moment, lead troops to backstab Nine Snakes..."

It can be seen that it is not easy for the Beasts Pirates to declare war on the Empress.

At least, they don't have the certainty of winning, otherwise they won't seek the support of the Don Quixote family. Usually, the Beasts Pirates don't think much of their strength.

"No, reject him." Brother Ming thought for a moment, risking the risk of offending Kaido, and gritted his teeth, "When we first cooperated, it was clearly stated that the Don Quixote family would not intervene between the four emperors." Struggles can't expose the transaction, we can at most...send some arms."

He really doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, if he is not careful, he will become cannon fodder.

"This one……"

Diamanti nodded hesitantly, then he smiled bitterly and said, "Boa Sandersonia also called from the side of Nine Snakes, requesting that after the war, we will find a chance to backstab the beasts... "

Tian Yasha: "..."

(￣￣;)

It is also a request to sneak attack and backstab allies.

The empress and Kaido are really dogs, they are all black when cut.

"Tell her that we won't get involved in the war, and at most provide some free ammunition." Brother Ming said expressionlessly.

Diamanti: "Give a batch of arms to both sides?"

Brother Ming: "Yes."

Diamanti: "..."

Sending arms to both sides will not offend them, and it will make them fight more intensely, killing a few more people... Cough cough.

Young master, it really is a dog... wise and powerful.

As if thinking of something, Brother Ming added: "In addition, send a batch of arms and supplies to the Lionheart Pirates for free."

Diamanti: ? ? ?
He has no sympathy for shameless, greedy, lustful, hypocritical, insidious and bloodthirsty great swordsmen who like prostitution.

Seeing his confused face, Brother Ming sighed inwardly.

He didn't want to give that shameless bastard Renn a gift, but the new world is too dangerous right now, and there are many allies who can make a relationship, even if they are annoying allies, there are many retreats...
