Chapter 363 Vera

Devil fruits are alive!

This is the conclusion that Ji Xing came to quickly after reading the artificial devil fruit research materials.

This did not surprise him, because combined with Vegapunk's research results, swords can also eat Devil Fruits and have Devil Fruit abilities, and swords are dead objects, and living things can only be Devil Fruits, otherwise where would they come from? intelligence?

This is highly similar to a demon, but the difference is that Devil Fruit is not circular DNA, but double-stranded DNA that is highly similar to humans.

As we all know, there are copies of genes in human cells, which contain 20,000 genes and 3 billion pieces of genetic information, all composed of DNA letters ATCG in various arrangements.

In the later stages of Kexue World, the research results of Ji Xing and Xiao Ai were able to accurately find a certain gene among the billions of genes in the human body and make targeted modifications.

If they want, they can accurately eliminate all disease recessive genes for a baby before he is born, and arbitrarily make the child have double eyelids, big eyes, a melon-shaped face...create an embryo that is beyond ordinary, handsome and beautiful. , beyond ordinary healthy body.

However, because it is contrary to human ethics and can easily cause social problems, these results are temporarily sealed by them like A medicine.

There is someone in the pirate world who has mastered this technology - Germa 66. Gaji's five children, including Sanji, were all genetically edited while they were in their mother's body, that is, bloodline factor editing, and obtained Superhuman strength.

Devil Fruit is more like a sci-fi super genetic medicine. After eating it, the gene editing will be completed immediately, and the mutations will be merged to give people the ability of Devil Fruit.

Among the three types of devil fruits, the similarity between animal type fruits and human genes is between 70% and 90%, the superhuman type is basically only 30% to 50%, and the natural type is only about 10%. It is no wonder that artificial devil fruits are all genetically similar. It's the animal department.

"This technology is somewhat like the SP medicine of Behemoth in the one-person world...it's just an imitation. Calling it an artificial devil fruit is actually a bit gilded."

Compared to real Devil Fruits that have 'life', Smile is just a medicine and a dead thing. It is not impossible for Ji Xing to develop it independently.

"Is it easy to cause gene mutations such as ANK3, CNCNA1C... and cause emotional deficiencies... The main body is the blood factor of people with abilities...

Oh, the skin of this devil fruit is actually just like a capsule, while SAD is..."

Come to think of it, Caesar didn't think anyone besides himself could understand these things, so Ji Xing successfully memorized the method of producing artificial devil fruits in his head before looking at other things.

"Huh? The genetic structure of the real Devil Fruit also contains many genes that affect human emotions. I'm afraid this is not a coincidence..." Ji Xing, who was reading, quickly discovered a doubt.

"Although this structure has never been seen before...but it doesn't look like the result of natural compilation selection..."

"Is it really a product of technology?"

Ji Xing thought of the two steel giants who took him to Mariejoia: "How high is the technological level of the destroyed kingdom..."

He continued to compare the genetic profiles of people before and after taking Devil Fruit, and gained a lot of knowledge that might be useful to him.

In the Demon Continent, his body also got together with Xiao Ai to study these things.

…

On the other side, after receiving Ji Xing's call, Navy G-5 Base Vice Admiral Vergo mobilized warships as quickly as possible to set sail for Punk Hassad.

As Doflamingo's retainer, he was originally a pirate and has been in the Navy for 17 years. He was promoted to lieutenant general and transferred to the Navy's G5 base just two years ago. It was also from that time that Caesar had a protective umbrella and researched Even more daring, there are people who keep track of children, and gradually there are artificial devil fruits and other achievements, which benefit Doflamingo a lot.

Now it is an important puzzle piece for Doflamingo's family and cannot be destroyed inexplicably. However, the island's protective power is actually not weak. Even he has to be careful to deal with Caesar's poisonous gas troops. It can be broken by the opponent, and even Caesar has fallen into the hands of the other party. The intruder is obviously not weak and not an ordinary person.

Out of caution, after the warship set sail, he hid in the cabin and used an anti-eavesdropping phone bug to contact Doflamingo: "Young Master..."

After receiving Doflamingo's instructions, he asked his subordinates to bring snacks and tasted them slowly, waiting for the voyage to proceed.

In the evening, the warship arrived.

He led a group of naval officers to quickly head towards the research base, and ordered: "The situation in the base is not clear yet. You will surround and block all exits later, and I will go in by myself. Don't let down your guard because of the other party's one-sided words, in case something happens You will drag me down by lying, waiting for my news.”

He did it for the convenience of movement, but the uninformed navy officers were very moved: "Lieutenant Admiral Vergo! This is too dangerous!"

"Let's go in and have a look first!"

"Didn't you understand what I said? You are not strong enough, and you are not able to deal with the guy who can break into the research base." Vergo said.

Gained more looks of admiration.

So he was able to enter the research base alone and march all the way to Caesar's laboratory.

The stab wounds on some of the base guards who fell to the ground made him look slightly sideways, and murmured to himself: "The intruder is a swordsman, alone."

Instead of waiting to go to Caesar's laboratory, as soon as he entered Area C, he found the person he was looking for in the lounge.

Five ordinary people sitting in the corner, four men and one woman, looked very strange when they saw him, some painful, some relieved?

But that was not important. He looked at Caesar, who was locked in the corner by the seastone and unconscious, and the strange young man sitting in the center with a sword on his waist.

He looked only in his early 20s, wearing gray clothes and a white cloak. He was tall and seemed to be strong, but he was a strange face.

He asked in a deep voice: "Did you call the G5 base before?"

Ji Xing's mind temporarily detached from the research data, and also looked at the tall and strong lieutenant general in front of him wearing a plaid coat and sunglasses.

"Mr. Lieutenant General is finally here." Ji Xing nodded and said, "It was me who called."

"You said Caesar was conducting some illegal experiments? I need to make some necessary confirmations."

He walked to Caesar and leaned over, gently slapping Caesar, and Caesar instantly woke up from a not-so-deep coma, his eyes confused and focused.

Seeing Vergo's face, he looked hideous and proud, and laughed weirdly.

"Hee-lo-lo-lo--you finally..."

"You finally came." Ji Xing interrupted, "Catch that ignorant boy quickly. I want to conduct my latest gas experiment on him. He dared to kick me in the face... Caesar, you are going to say that, right?"

Caesar paused, his eyes bulged.

"How did you know?!"

Virgo narrowed his eyes and stood up, looking at Ji Xing again.

Ferico and the other five looked at each other, what does this mean? The vice admiral... is one of us? Are we saved? ! No... the rhetoric just now sounds so familiar, as if it was something we did before...

Sure enough, Ji Xing gestured to them and said, "Don't get me wrong, that's not the observation Haki that can foresee the future, but my guess about your thoughts. You guys are always dragging one after another, endlessly, always thinking that the next backer will be the savior. Let's skip the boring parts in the middle and just look at the results.

I'm Holo, the famous 'Unknown Swordsman' who appeared in the news a year ago. Don't hide the Den Den Mushi in your sleeve, Vice Admiral. I want to see who is behind you, and who is behind you, and whether I can afford to offend you."

The Unknown Swordsman... is he the guy who killed the White Lion? ! Vergo's pupils condensed.

Caesar felt something was wrong: "Why, what? This guy is famous?!"

Across from the Den Den Mushi in Vergo's sleeve, Doflamingo, who was in Dressrosa, had been waiting to know the identity of the attacker. When he heard Ji Xing's words, his heart sank.

How could it be this guy? !

Because of the Blasphemer Dunan, he has been very low-key during this period, and he didn't even take advantage of the Celestial Dragons' lack of people to intensify his human trade business. As a result, when things get bad, disasters come from the sky. Holo is also one of the top monsters in the sea and is also very difficult to deal with.

More importantly, he is a good friend of the Four Emperors Red Hair, and I'm afraid he won't give Kaido face!

Why did he appear in a place like Punk Hazard? Why did he have to be him? !

Although his face was very gloomy, he still laughed: "Fufufufufufu - I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the famous Chief Sheriff of Tidal Island, the new world's greatest swordsman. I am Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Have you heard of my name?"

The news of the replacement of the world's greatest swordsman was not widely spread. Doflamingo quietly showed his intelligence ability, but Ji Xing just laughed and said: "Why is it another Seven Warlords of the Sea? I have a connection with the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Vergo took out a silver Den Den Mushi from his sleeve. The Den Den Mushi looked arrogant and imitated Doflamingo vividly: "Connected? You seem to be talking about more than just Hawkeye? Yes, it's Crocodile, right? I think the things in Alabasta are a bit weird. If you are included, it makes sense. Crocodile turned out to be defeated by you, not unfair."

The world's greatest swordsman? Caesar's face was as white as paper. He tried to shrink behind the tall Vergo and whispered, "Hey, Dover..."

"Caesar, don't talk too much. I've wanted to meet the new world's greatest swordsman for a long time, but I didn't expect to be in such a scene. Fufufufufu... What, after you captured Crocodile, you want to meddle in my business again? The world's greatest swordsman."

"Going to Alabasta is just a trip. I'm also very upset about the Crocodile incident." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Going to Shannon Island is also a trip. It's a pity that I saw your people catching children there. Maybe I have a nosy constitution."

"I see." Doflamingo lowered his eyes and said, "Then... Can you give me a face? Just pretend that you haven't seen it."

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"Is that so, fufufufufu--" Doflamingo laughed and was silent for a while: "Vergo, it seems that you will be wronged for a while. Caesar, you keep your mouth shut."

The Den Den Mushi hung up.

He didn't even pull Kaido out!

For a monster like that, threatening from a distance is meaningless. It is better to hide, maybe it can increase the chances of solving the problem.

"Asshole..." Doflamingo didn't know where to vent his anger after encountering such a thing inexplicably. He cursed and dialed another number: "Lord Kaido, Smile's manufacturing base has encountered a big problem..."

Soon, Kaido's roar came from the other side: "What?! That bastard who kidnapped my son and sent him to Whitebeard's ship! I haven't caused trouble for him yet, and he has come to cause trouble for me again?!"

As for Punk Hassard, looking at the hung up phone bug, Caesar looked blank: "Asshole - Dover, what do you mean, you bastard..."

Boom——

The fist shrouded in armed color hit his head hard, knocking him unconscious. Vergo clenched a black fist as big as a sandbag and looked at Ji Xing.

"Why, Mr. Lieutenant General, you want to test whether my knife can cut through your iron block?" Ji Xing said with a smile.

Vergo closed his eyes, and the armed color on his fists slowly faded away. He understood what the young master meant, and knew that his 17-year undercover career, which had finally reached the top with great difficulty, was about to be interrupted.

"No, let it slide," he said.

Ji Xing nodded: "Then take him, let's go out and be frank with your subordinates."

"good."

"You five, follow me too."

The five Fericos were in a dream. The Vice Admiral turned out to be one of their own, but the guy who caught the child and brought him here turned out to be the greatest swordsman in the world. The Vice Admiral didn't even resist him and ran away. Not even running? !

They no longer gave any hope, and followed with a smile: "Yes! Yes!"

Soon, shouts from the navy were heard outside: "What did you say?! Impossible!"

"Lieutenant General Vergo! If you are threatened, just blink your eyes!"

"Damn it! I'll fight you!"

…

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

Due to the incident of the Blasphemer Dunant, the Navy Headquarters has been very busy recently.

Almost without any regard for face, they announced the night attack on Marie Gioia and issued a reward of 5 billion for the blasphemer Dunant. Even the report had exaggerated benefits. The World Government just wanted to use thunderous means to get rid of the blasphemer. Reestablish your prestige!

But half a month later, there was no progress at all. It was about to become a bigger joke, and many people were anxious.

The Tianlong people put pressure on Wulaoxing, and Wulaoxing put pressure on Warring States. Warring States could only work hard and put a little pressure on the generals.

Even the elderly Navy Chief Staff Officer He has had very little rest in recent days. He is analyzing some intelligence information and looking for useful things from a lot of messy information.

Although the vast majority of people applauded the blasphemy for killing the dragons, there were always birds of all kinds in the forest, and there were also many people who wanted to try their luck for the bounty.

These acts of chance have also added a lot of work to the Navy. Lieutenant General He is holding a document and reading: "Vera's ghost legend... There was a big pirate with a bounty of 200 million who mysteriously disappeared after landing... Vera ……"

This is when a female lieutenant colonel staff officer suddenly pushed in the door with a phone: "Lieutenant General He! Urgent contact from the New World G5 branch!"

Lieutenant General He took the phone call and said, "This is the Navy's chief staff officer, Lieutenant General He."

"Hello, Lieutenant General He, I am Holo, the chief constable of Tide Island. If you have anything to report to the Navy..."

Holo? The new world's greatest swordsman?

Lieutenant General He was a little surprised, but when he heard Ji Xing's next words, he sighed slowly.

Artificial devil fruits, human enlargement experiments, Vergo is actually an undercover agent... Doflamingo is indeed a guy who refuses to settle down!

Before Doflamingo became a Shichibukai, the person chasing him all over the world was Crane, and he couldn't understand Doflamingo better.

It was during the chaos that something like this happened again, and He also had a headache, but the justice in her made her smile and said: "I know, this is the Navy's dereliction of duty. Thank you, Sheriff Jolo, Thank you very much for your report. Please wait a moment, I will go find Marshal Warring States."

Before leaving, her eyes hovered over the documents on the table for a moment: "Punk Hassad... seems to be very close to Vera, only three or four days' flight away?"

Soon, the news delivered by Ji Xing was known to the Warring States Marshal and passed on to Wulaoxing.

The five old stars have been exhausted physically and mentally these past few days. In the past eight hundred years, generation after generation, the five old stars have never been as derelict in their duties as the five of them.

Hearing that Doflamingo was still causing trouble, the five people were furious again.

"This restless bastard!"

"Didn't the man-made Devil Fruit fail? Even Vegapunk failed and started researching pacifists. Can Caesar Coulan succeed?!"

"It's probably some useless defective product..."

"What should we do now?"

"Let the Navy escort the undercover Lieutenant General Vergo and Caesar Coulan back to the headquarters first. After this period of time is over, we will deal with Doflamingo!"

"Escort a lieutenant general and Caesar Courant of the Natural Department. The navy is currently short of manpower. He made a suggestion..." Holy Golibacho said: "Let the Sheriff..."

"Yes, you still forgot about him. First he came into contact with the Devil's Son in Alabasta, and then he went to the New World? He's not safe anywhere!"

"But under the current situation, he is indeed a powerful combat force that can be fought for. We must be prepared to not find the blasphemer for a long time!"

In that case, the navy and the world government will have to face more top-notch combat forces, and the world's greatest swordsman, as a free man, will be a guy who can affect the balance.

The five old stars looked at each other, and they all understood that the situation did not allow them to pursue the small matter of contact with the devil's son. They breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Do what He said, let's see what he thinks first, whether he is willing to do something for the Navy and the World Government. More things..."

"The swordsman is lethal enough. He may be needed to deal with the blasphemer..."

Soon, Punk Hazard.

Ji Xing heard Marshal Sengoku on the other side of Den Den Mushi say tiredly: "Sorry, Holo. I'm sure you know about the blasphemer Dunan Isbadli incident. The navy has been very busy during this period and there is really no manpower to escort Vergo Caesar.

Can I trouble you with one more thing? Transfer them to Vera, a three to four day voyage, and the navy will have a vice admiral there to meet them."

Ji Xing thought for a while: "Vera?"

Punk Hazard is not far from the entrance to the New World, and Vera is the end of Paradise. The two islands are indeed very close and belong to the central location between Punk Hazard and the Navy Headquarters.

Busy because of Dunan?

Haha, then help, just in time to wait for Doflamingo and Kaido's reaction.

It's not convenient to take the initiative this time, because he has to make it look like he came to Punk Hazard by chance, not a premeditated attack.

Ji Xing smiled and said, "No problem. I'm just running around the world without a purpose anyway."

Zhan Guo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice, "Thank you... There is one more thing. We received an ambiguous report that there is a ghost legend in Vera. There were pirates with a bounty of more than 200 million who disappeared mysteriously on the island. We suspect that this may be related to the Blasphemer Dunan.

However, we have received dozens of similar intelligence, and it is probably something else. If you are interested, please help confirm it. Of course, if you don't want to trouble, you can refuse."

The ghost legend in Vera?

Ji Xing thought about it and said, "Okay, since it's on the way, I can go and see..."

"Then thank you for your hard work. It's obviously a good report, but you have to do more things. The World Government will give you enough compensation afterwards."

The voice of Zhan Guo on the opposite side sank: "In addition, if you really find the trace of Blasphemer Dunan, please be sure to inform the navy!"

Ji Xing nodded slightly: "Sure!"

5400, Gou Quanqin, update first and then change.

Low fever, headache, very good appetite.
