One Piece: Start in the Valley of Gods, and steal the Dark-Dark Fruit

Arriving at Vegapunk's exclusive laboratory, Jig glanced at Caesar who followed him and said,

"You don't have to come in."

Caesar stopped immediately upon hearing this, and watched Jig and Vegapunk walk into the laboratory.

This laboratory is much larger than the one where Stussy was placed, and the instruments and equipment are more complete.

As soon as Vegapunk came in, he began to tinker with various equipment, while Jig looked around the room. He noticed that there were a large number of red apples on a table.

Coming to the table, Jig picked up an apple and turned it in his hand. There was a small part of purple on the apple, and it seemed to be rotten.

However, if you look closely, you will find that this part of the purple is abnormally shiny and feels very smooth to the touch. It doesn't look like it's rotten at all. Looking at other apples, some have a larger purple area, and even have several dark green and light green circular patterns on them.

Seeing this, Jig roughly understood what was going on with these apples. He turned around and asked,

"Vegapunk, is this the artificial fruit you are researching?"

Vegapunk was concentrating on debugging a device. Hearing this, he nodded and said,

"Yes, it was made by extracting the demonic factor from Kaido, but those were all failures. It will take some time to succeed."

"Well, you will succeed, I have no doubt about that."

Vegapunk looked at Jig in surprise and said thank you.

Jig smiled and said,

"You were born for science. As long as you don't think about any messy things and concentrate on doing your science, the World Government will give you as much research funding as you want."

Vegapunk nodded, and it was not known whether he listened or not. He asked Jiger to lie on a laboratory table and took off his shirt.

Then, Vegapunk took out tubes with suction cups at the ends of the tubes. He sucked the tubes onto Jiger's exposed skin.

A series of data appeared on the screen of an instrument next to the laboratory table. Vegapunk pinched his chin with one hand, and a look of amazement gradually appeared on his face.

"It's unbelievable. I didn't expect that the bloodline factor used on you back then would be integrated so well. This is simply a scientific miracle!"

Hearing this, Jiger first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked,

"Are you sure the two bloodline factors have been integrated? Then why can't I feel any power belonging to the Lunalia clan?"

"Judging from the data above, the degree of integration of the Lunaria bloodline factor with your body is already very good, but it should have been integrated not long ago, compared with the fur tribe, it is still too short. I remember that you, Jig Saint, awakened part of the fur tribe's power when you were a child."

Jig nodded. That was when Lucia broke into the laboratory to save him. At that time, he was less than eight years old.

Thinking of this, Jig asked,

"Doesn't that mean we have to wait a long time?"

"No, your body is much stronger now than when you were a child. The bloodline of the Lunaria tribe has also been developing with your body over the years. Now it is very compatible with your body and will merge very quickly. If you encounter some kind of opportunity again, maybe its power will be fully awakened immediately."

"An opportunity? Like a fight?"

"Well, fighting beyond the limit is indeed a very effective way to stimulate fusion."

After saying that, Vegapunk seemed to suddenly think of something and said,

"Saint Jig, maybe some of the characteristics of the Lunaria tribe have already appeared in you, but you just don't feel it."

Jig was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously touched his back to confirm whether he had grown wings.

However, the skin on his back felt very smooth, and he didn't even feel a pimple.

Vegapunk asked Jig to get off the experimental table first, and then he ran out. When he came back, he was holding a large flamethrower in his arms.

He pointed the muzzle of the flamethrower at Jig and said,

""Gig Saint, I know your Armament Haki is very strong and you are a natural ability user, but I hope you won't resist and try to feel the flames with your body. Of course, if you feel pain, you can stop it directly."

Gig also understood Vegapunk's intention at this moment. He nodded with interest, then took the initiative to come to an open space, opened his arms, and said,

"You can start now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Vegapunk pressed the button without any hesitation, and a raging flame instantly submerged Zig's body.

The clothes on Zig's lower body were quickly reduced to ashes by the flames, but his skin did not show any signs of damage, and the expression on his face did not change. He looked like he was bathing in flames.

In fact, he did not feel the slightest burning sensation.

Vegapunk used the flamethrower until the fuel was exhausted, and Zig walked out calmly from the ground that was still burning with flames, naked.

Zig took out a new pair of pants from the Dark Bible and put them on. Although he was"washed" by flames for a long time, he was in a very good mood. He smiled at Vegapunk,

"It seems that you are right."

However, Vegapunk was still not satisfied. In line with his rigorous scientific attitude, he brought another large basin of water to Jiger and said,

"Jigshen, this is a basin of clean water. Put your head in it and try to see if you can breathe. This level of water shouldn't make you feel weak."

Vegapunk didn't know that Jig had the bug of the demon sword Muramasa. Not to mention this basin of clear water, even if Jig soaked himself in the sea, it would be fine.

But there was no need for Jig to explain this to Vegapunk. He simply put his head into the water and tried to breathe as usual.

When he first came up, Jig did choke for a while, but soon, his breathing became smoother and smoother, until it was no different from breathing in the air.

Jig raised his head and wiped his wet hair with his hand, with a happy look on his face.

This was his first time trying to breathe underwater. Since he had the demon sword Muramasa, although he was not afraid of the sea, he would still hold his breath instinctively when diving underwater.

If he hadn't tried it deliberately today, he really wouldn't have discovered this characteristic of his.

He can already confirm 100% that the racial characteristics of the Lunaria people that can adapt to any natural environment have been perfectly demonstrated in him.

Of course, the most critical thing is the fire ability. The destructive power of fire is secondary. What Jig wants is the terrifying defense and speed of the Lunaria people!
