Pirates control thunder and lightning

And just when Kozuki Oden returned to the country of Wano again, a rarely visited island located in the second half of the Great Channel, a new world, welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

A giant pirate ship that could be called a mobile fortress slowly docked on the shore of the island.

On the top of the ship's mast hangs the fearsome flag of the Beasts Pirates.

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be surprised as to why the Beast Pirates suddenly visited this deserted island.

Because this island is one of those that is not easy to survive even in the New World. Apart from various beasts, there is almost nothing else of value on the island. Moreover, because it deviates from the main waterway, it cannot be used as a stronghold or transfer station. condition.

It is very strange that the Beast Pirates, who are supposed to vigorously carry out production and construction in Wano Country, would send a ship that can be called a sea fortress to such a place.

What’s even stranger is——

Kaido, the captain of the Beast Pirates, was actually on the ship, and next to him stood Ember with black wings behind him and a mask on the back of his neck.

At the same time, there was another person beside the two of them, a fat man with a thick neck and a small head, wearing sunglasses and holding a cigar in his mouth.

"Are you sure there are traces of Joey Boy here?"

Kaido stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the environment on the island with an expressionless face.

You can see various giant plants growing on the island, you can also see various ancient creatures flying in the air, and you can vaguely hear the roars of many ferocious beasts.

Quinn stood next to Kaido with a cigar in his mouth.

"The coordinates analyzed based on the intelligence obtained before are here. As for whether there are any traces of Joey Boy, I don't know. After all, this is a character from eight hundred years ago. Under the sweeps of the World Government, it is possible to find something rare. It’s already pretty good.”

For Quinn, he only defected to Kaido because of his strength and the fact that Kaido was starting a business. With his wisdom and the ability of ancient fruits, he would definitely be able to occupy a stable position in the Beast Pirates. a place.

After joining, he thought Kaido gave him a task to conquer the island or prove himself, but Kaido directly handed him a bunch of books from unknown sources and asked him to study Joyboy. This character is only spread in some small stories now.

The most important thing is that the second-in-command in the pirate group, the guy who wears a mask all day long, actually firmly believes that Kaido is Joey Boy for some reason, which makes Quinn think that his choice is wrong.

However, the strength of the two of them is more perverted than the other, and they cannot run away. In addition, I have tricked Vegapunk. I heard that that guy has a high say in the world government now. What if he is so capricious? What should I do if the navy admiral comes to trouble me?

It's better to follow Kaido and find Joey Boy together.

"But to be honest, even in the Great Channel, islands like this that still preserve many ancient species are rare."

Quinn slowly looked back, her tone of voice full of emotion.

Kaido looked back at Quinn and said calmly: "This is why I didn't hesitate to come in person."

"You didn't lie to me, did you, Quinn?"

"Eh? Well, yes, what I said before is true. Vegapunk has indeed studied the blood factor and provided a complete experimental theory. Now he has sufficient experimental materials..."

Facing Kaido's oppressive gaze, Quinn showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

At the same time, I also felt a little regretful. I shouldn't have talked so much, but now I got myself involved.

Kaido slowly turned around, stared at the island in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "I hope the 'assumption' you put forward is correct, and not a casual joke just to perfunctory me."

"How, how could it be possible... That is a big secret discovered by Vegapunk, and even the World Government did not hesitate to dispatch the CP department to arrest him!"

Quinn pretended to be calm on her face, but she was panicking in her heart, and there was a lot of cold sweat on her back.

He is good at human body modification, and he also knows something about the research conducted by Vegapunk.

However, Vegapunk's idea of ​​an artificial animal-type devil fruit for the [Bloodline Factor] is feasible in theory, but the difficulty in practice is equivalent to making him surpass Vegapunk...

The difficulty of this is a bit ridiculous. You have to know that you and Gaji are two licking dogs. They have only been following Vegapunk for a short period of time and have made huge progress in their respective fields. And that is just Vegapunk. I casually mentioned a few words to them.

Even the core technologies currently mastered by himself and Gaji were taken away from Vegapunk in a hurry.

And unfortunately, the idea and idea of ​​​​artificial devil fruits was proposed and researched by Vegapunk alone, and he really did not know the experimental data and specific experimental content of artificial devil fruits.

Don’t say what the success rate is.

He had no confidence at all whether he could successfully extract the bloodline factors from animals.

Or.

He is trying to compete with Kaido.

Thinking of this, Quinn wanted to take his mouth off, although it wasn't too difficult for him to take it off and put it back on again.

But there is no remedy for Quinn. After all, the information he took away from Vegapunk contained a lot of good stuff, and when the time comes, it will be enough to deal with Kaido.

Quinn also had some regrets. If he had known earlier, he should have communicated more with the Vegapunk guy about blood factor technology, even though he would have been ridiculed as a smarter person than Slime.

But now, I can only bite the bullet.

"Ahem, there are all kinds of creatures living on this island, and the base is very large. To a large extent, it can help us quickly find the bloodline factor of a certain species. We only need to extract it and then combine it with fruit trees according to special techniques. Combined, when the fruit matures, there is a certain possibility that a devil fruit with the characteristics of that species will appear.

Although the chance of birth is quite small, the effect may be a little worse than that of naturally occurring Devil Fruit, and there will be certain side effects, the strength of those who eat this artificial Devil Fruit is actually enhanced.

Quinn gently adjusted the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, tried his best to recall what Vegapunk said at that time, and continued:

"So, successfully extracting the 'blood factor' of a certain species is theoretically only the first step. After that, these blood factors need to be made into [SAD] and used to irrigate the plants to complete the growth cycle."

"[SAD]? Growth cycle?"

Jhin glanced sideways at Quinn, always feeling that this guy looked a little unreliable, and anything involving cycles meant that it would take a lot of time to test.

Quinn also subconsciously looked at the giant plants on the river bank and was about to speak.

"Quinn, are you trying to say that because the growth cycle of plants is generally very long, the plants used to cultivate artificial fruits will also lengthen the growth cycle?"

"This, there's nothing we can do about it, it's science..."

Quinn smiled awkwardly.

With his professional knowledge, it would not be difficult to fool Kaido.

But the Jhin in front of him was obviously not that easy to fool.

Originally, he wanted to use the [Growth Cycle] to delay as much time as possible. He originally thought that the Beast Pirates could be said to be all illiterate, but now it seems that Jhin has received a certain degree of education, although it is impossible to tell him Compared with the cultural level, it is obviously not easy to fool.

Jhin didn't know what Quinn was thinking, he just stared at Quinn and said:

"Worrying about the growth cycle is secondary. What you should be concerned about now is how to ensure that artificial devil fruits can be produced. This is related to Brother Kaido's dream!"

"Ah, yes yes yes."

Quinn had no choice but to agree with Jhin's statement.
