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

Bank restricted area, research institute.

Vegapunk was carefully holding a test tube filled with red liquid and shaking it gently.

Not far from him was a glass container filled with solution, in which a large purple apple was soaked. If you look closely, you can see that a circular pattern is slowly emerging on the surface of the apple.

The bottom of the glass container is connected to an instrument, on which dense data is constantly jumping.

Vegapunk's expression looked a little nervous. After hesitating for a moment, his eyes gradually became firm, and he raised his foot to walk towards the glass container.

At this moment, a dark vortex suddenly appeared in front of Vegapunk, which scared Vegapunk who was concentrating. His hand trembled, and the test tube broke directly on the ground, and the red liquid inside splashed everywhere.

Vegapunk's eyes widened suddenly, his heart stopped, and he almost fainted.

The dark vortex condensed into the figure of Jiger. He looked at Vegapunk, who seemed to have lost his soul, with doubt. When the latter saw Jiger, his anger was instantly extinguished, and he said with tears in his eyes,

"Jig Sheng, can you please say hello to me in advance next time you come? If you keep showing up like this, I will get a heart attack sooner or later!"

Jig raised his eyebrows and asked in a bad tone,

"What? Are you planning to do some secret experiment again?"

Vegapunk shuddered, then realized that what he had just said was disrespectful, and hurriedly said,

"No, no! Jig Saint, you can ask Bear and Borsalino. If I have any experiments, I can't hide them from them!"

"So where are the two of them now?"

"......"I'm going on a trip."

Jiger rolled his eyes, thinking that Kuma was going to become the second in command of Kizaru's slacking team.

However, Vegapunk really didn't do any secret research. He glanced at the red liquid on the ground and sighed.

"Jigshen, please believe me, I am just conducting research on artificial devil fruits. You are also aware of this research. The blood spilled on the ground just now is a very precious experimental material."

"Whose blood?"

"Kaido, last time he was captured by the navy, I extracted his blood. That guy's body was too strong. I tried hard but only extracted a little. The previous experiments failed. The remaining blood was only enough to support one experiment, but it was already wasted......."

Jiger thought for a moment and said,

"Kaido is often captured, so we can extract some blood next time."

Vegapunk shook his head and pointed at the glass container.

"It's too late. Every time Kaido is captured, he becomes stronger than before, and it becomes more and more difficult to extract his blood. Moreover, I have used all the rare materials for this experiment. It will take nearly twenty years to collect them all again!"

Gig's heart moved. The original work did describe that it took Vegapunk twenty years to succeed. In other words, it is very likely that even if he was not there this time, Vegapunk would waste the experimental materials for other reasons.

But can it be understood that if there were no accidents, the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit would be born this time?

Speaking of which, this fruit was finally eaten by Momonosuke. When Vegapunk saw the funny"Pink Dragon" after Momonosuke's transformation, he once thought that what he had developed was a failure.

If it weren't for the existence of King Luffy, Gig really felt Momonosuke can be regarded as the protagonist of this anime, and this artificial Blue Dragon Fruit is prepared for him.

Vegapunk judges the success or failure of this fruit based on the form it shows after Momonosuke eats it. When he saw that the dragon after Momonosuke's transformation was pink instead of blue, he directly determined that this fruit was a failure.

It can only be said that Vegapunk is worthy of being called the world's number one scientist. His rigorous attitude towards science has reached the point of nitpicking, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an obsessive-compulsive patient.

But in Giger's opinion, this artificial Blue Dragon Fruit is as successful as it can be, just Judging success or failure by the color after transformation is obviously too arbitrary.

Referring to Momonosuke's performance after being"ripened" to the age of twenty, it can be seen that the power that this artificial Blue Dragon Fruit can exert is almost the same as the original one.

Compared with the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit made by Vegapunk, the ones made by Caesar later are simply garbage. Not to mention the side effects after failure, even if they succeed in becoming a capable person, their abilities are still missing.

For example, they can only possess a certain racial talent of this animal, and some cannot even get the bonus of physical fitness of the animal-type devil fruit. (Refer to Caesar's

The funny thing is that Vegapunk decided that his research on artificial demons had completely failed, and then he stopped working on artificial animal devil fruits and focused on superhuman green blood. Of course, compared to the first -generation green blood in Zigg, the second-generation stable green blood developed by Vegapunk later can be considered a great success.

After all, Zigg is probably the only one in the world who can adapt to the first-generation green blood, and even accommodate a double dose.

Zigg lowered his head and glanced at the blood that was gradually drying on the ground, nodded, and said lightly,

"Oh, I see."

After saying that, Jiger stretched out his finger and gently hooked it.

The blood immediately turned into several threads rising from the ground, and condensed into a blood ball the size of a ping-pong ball on Jiger's fingertips.

Jiger shook the blood ball in front of the stunned Vegapunk and said,

"Okay, where should we put it now?"

Vegapunk came to his senses and was overjoyed. He pointed at an instrument and said,

"Just put it there!"

Jiger flicked his finger, and the blood cell accurately entered the opening above the instrument.

The solution in the glass container next to it immediately boiled, and soon the purple apple was boiled red. At the same time, the ring pattern on it became clearer and clearer, until it turned into gold and orange.

Vegapunk stared at the apple in the container, rubbing his hands nervously, and even Jiger watched with interest.

Under the gaze of the two, the red apple, no, it should be said that it was a devil fruit, gradually cooled down, and finally the color of the skin turned into blood red, with a golden and orange ring pattern on it.

Seeing the final image of this fruit, Jiger was slightly stunned, because in the anime, the color of the fruit in Momonosuke's memory seemed to be dark purple. Did he remember it wrong or did the experiment fail?
