Chapter 382 The Idea of Creating Your Own Fruit
The people imprisoned in the basement of the institute are obviously the Beast Family, Kaido and others.
It is said that Kaido has committed suicide, been arrested and escaped many times. In fact, there are such things, but it is not a simple suicide and arrest.
Most of them were just for fun, drunk and crazy. The navy team that arrested him was generally not strong, and he was not hurt at all.
But it was different from the battle with Ji Xing. He was severely injured first, and then soaked in sea water for three days. After that, he was escorted by Garp and Kizaru, and he had no chance to escape.
Then, special cells, special chains, and special drugs were arranged. Vegapunk's research on the "Seraphim" happened to reach a critical node, and Kaido's bloodline factor was very important, so he was imprisoned until now.
"He's almost escaping." After passing through layers of blockades and arriving in front of the huge prison where Kaido was imprisoned, Ji Xing said, "He still has about 40% of his strength, which should be much more than you want."
"40%?" Lilith was surprised: "Even if the drugs are constantly changed, he is still immune to this extent? Another 20%, the chain will no longer be reliable... Caesar is indeed better at anesthetic drugs."
Dang--
Hearing the conversation between the two, the huge body locked in the cell in a big letter broke free from the chain, raised his head, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "It's you, bastard! Why, you appear here, are you commissioned by the World Government to see me?!"
"No, I came here by myself. I just returned from Raftel and came to Dr. Vegapunk's research institute on the way. It happened that my observation Haki captured your existence, so I came down to see you."
"... Raftel?!"
Kaido's head fell back to the ground, and he was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed softly.
"So that's it, you're Joyboy? That's right, that kind of power is the Joyboy in the prophecy, that's right!"
"I'm not Joyboy." Ji Xing said, "But you actually know this name? Did you hear it when you were in the Rocks Pirates?"
"Huh? I should be more surprised that you actually know the name of the Rocks Pirates." Kaido snorted, "The cowardly World Government has erased its existence. Did Whitebeard say that?"
"Just take it as it is." Ji Xing said, "I'm a little curious about Rocks's purpose in the Valley of the Gods incident, and I also want to know what the Valley of the Gods is."
"Valley of the Gods? Humph, go ask Whitebeard. You've caused me to be locked up in this ghost place for more than two years, why should I tell you?"
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Are you not telling me, or are you not clear because you were just an intern pirate at the time?"
Kaido paused. How could that old man Whitebeard even know about this kind of thing... huh?
I don't know what he thought of, Kaido's eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his head again, staring at Ji Xing, as if he wanted to see through him.
"No, you... Could it be... Could it be that you are really Captain Rocks?!"
"... Hmm?" Ji Xing was stunned.
Why do you say that?
His eyes were moved by the vision of the future. He raised his eyebrows slightly and listened to Kaido saying: "I had some doubts last time. Are you really the same person as Holo Jixing who died at the old woman's place five years ago?! Amazing talent, similar name, and more importantly, the first time I saw you was in Wano Country, you killed White Lion!
And why White Lion defected to me, I know it very well, it's because of Holo Jixing's incident, offending the old woman!
After killing White Lion, you didn't help Red Hair anymore, and you found some excuses. In fact, you only have a grudge against White Lion! It's because he sent you to Wan Guo!"
Has your brain opened up? Ji Xing was slightly surprised.
"But the old woman has been emphasizing that Holo Jixing is dead. From the reactions of her children, it is indeed the case. They are not lying! So he is resurrected from the dead? Some kind of fruit ability?"
"If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Holo Jixing was born in Hatchinos, the island where the Rocks Pirates gathered. It just so happens that you, who are so powerful, appeared there. If you say that you have nothing to do with Captain Rocks, I will not believe it!"
Hatchinos is the island where the Rocks Pirates gathered? There is such a thing. So Big Mom valued me so much back then, not only because I can eat like her, but also because of my "origin"?
Jixing solved another small doubt.
"Yo la la la - a man like Captain Rocks would not die easily in the Valley of Gods. I knew he must have left a backup plan!
Are you Captain Rocks resurrected? No, you could also be the descendant of Captain Rocks, Holo... Should your real name be Rocks D. Jixing? Only by having Captain Rocks' blood can you explain why you have such power at such a young age! That's what the captain left for you!"
Well-reasoned and logical.
Ji Xing listened thoughtfully: "Oh, so that's the case? Go on."
"Tsk, are you still pretending?" Kaido just thought of it. He has been thinking about it for more than two years since he was trapped. Now he feels that it is almost the same, and there is more evidence: "You said you went to Raftel, right? There are four road sign historical texts. In addition to the one I once had and the one the old woman had, there is another one whose location I roughly know.
Only the last one is left, which is the one that was placed in the Valley of Gods. It is missing and hinders me and the old woman from finding Raftel!
I thought it was Gol D. Roger who hid it, but now it seems that the captain... is waiting for you to go to Raftel, right?"
That's what Captain John hid.
Ji Xing continued to listen to Kaido's performance silently.
"You should have obtained the location of the three ancient weapons when you went to Ravdru. The next step is to overthrow the world!" Kaido said in an excited tone: "If Roger and Garp hadn't joined forces back then, Captain Rocks would have killed everyone. The elite Celestial Dragons of the Valley of the Gods find Raph Drew and become the king of the world! But it's not too late!
Hey, hey, hey - now you should have become the biggest enemy of the world government? Even the team to attack you is already on the way? !
If necessary, release me, for Captain Rocks' sake, I can help you! Turn the world upside down! "
Ji Xing remained silent, waiting for Kaido in front of him to calm down, and then asked: "Rocks went to the Valley of the Gods just to sign the historical text?"
"...Huh? Didn't I tell you that there are also elites who massacred the Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons are not just those with nothing but wine and rice bags. For some reason, the real elites never live in Mariejoia. They seem to be the same as the Celestial Dragons' national treasures. related.
Ah, except Wulaoxing. Among the five old stars today, there is also a guy who is not weak, who appeared in the Valley of the Gods back then. "Kaido said.
Is it Teko Tempo who holds the title of First Generation Kitetsu?
Ji Xing thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Thank you for the information, you helped me confirm something."
Seeing him preparing to leave, Kaido suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, what are you doing..."
"I'm not Joeyboy, and I don't have anything to do with Rocks." Ji Xing replied: "The strength I have today is all due to personal efforts and a little bit of talent.
Do you have to have a blood relationship with a strong person to become a strong person? By thinking this way, aren’t you denying yourself? No wonder your overlord color is the weakest among the four emperors. Think about it carefully. "
Kaido was stunned. When he came to his senses, Ji Xing and Lilith were no longer there. His face suddenly turned red. Why is this bastard so annoying? !
really not? He doesn't believe it!
Let me see how long you keep pretending!
After leaving the underground of the research institute, Ji Xing and Lilith met an old man.
The old man's face looks a bit like Einstein's. He has a white beard, white eyebrows, and white hair. He is not tall, and his head is extraordinarily big. His tongue is very long and sticks out. There is a mushroom-like brain antenna on top of his head. The brain is exposed, which makes him look different. Ordinary.
Lilith was surprised: "Original body?!"
If you don't hide and let our avatars come into contact with this guy, why are you running out? !
"Go do your thing, Lilith."
Vegapunk's tongue waggled and said: "We have just heard too many secrets. If the strongest in the world wants to harm the old man, it is not safe to hide anywhere on the island."
He looked up at Ji Xing, meaning to express his sincerity: "You have something that I need to do, right? Let's go to the second floor to have a chat."
Ji Xing nodded: "Okay."
Lilith looked left and right, made a low noise, turned around and left. When she was about to turn the corner, she couldn't help but look back: "Ontology, don't forget to ask him for research funding! We don't have much funding!"
The main body of Bega Punk looked at Ji Xing with some embarrassment: "That child represents the evil in me, so I am a little obsessed with funding..."
The evil is just being obsessed with funding.
Although Vegapunk has also conducted human experiments, for scientists in the pirate world, this is not considered evil. From a certain perspective, Vegapunk, which is purely for scientific research, can be regarded as a ' good man'.
"It's okay." Ji Xing responded, and the person accompanying him was replaced by a little old man. The two walked up to the second floor together, and then he said: "I created the Devil Fruit that Dr. Vegapunk recreated based on Kaido's bloodline factors. I’ve seen it before, it’s an amazing invention.”
"Is that failure?" Vegapunk shook his head and said, "Is it at Caesar's place?"
"It can't be said to be a failure. Except for the fact that the dragon it turns into is pink, the power gained by the esper is basically the same as Kaido's. Compared to Smile, it is a hundred times stronger."
"The pink dragon...hasn't it failed?" Vegapunk, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder in scientific research, was dissatisfied: "Have you already found someone to test its effect?"
"Well." Ji Xing said: "Since it failed, didn't the doctor want to create a perfect Devil Fruit? Not an artificial Devil Fruit, but a real Devil Fruit!"
Vegapunk paused for a moment before introducing Ji Xing into his research room and said, "Do you know what the real Devil Fruit is? It is the manifestation of human desire. Each Devil Fruit represents a kind of human being." The direction you want to evolve..."
"I know. It is recorded in the historical text of Rafdru that it was the highest technological product of the Kingdom of God and the source of its destruction. That thing was destroyed and transformed into a special loudspeaker, which is the One Piece, I want to try to restore it," Ji Xing said.
"Is that so..." Vegapunk mused: "Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster? And there is no point in reproducing that technology now. Devil fruits are the manifestation of human desires, and the devil fruits that exist today are basically Contains all human desires, old desires have not been erased, and new desires cannot be condensed into fruits.”
This is quite idealistic technology.
Back then, Joyboy wanted to bring laughter and hope to people who had lost their smiles, and the Sun God Nika Fruit was born from his desire!
The World Government changed the name of the Nika Fruit and changed it to the Rubber Fruit, just to make people completely forget the sun god Nika and the desire to bring laughter to everyone.
Only when one day no one on the sea knows the Nika Fruit anymore, this fruit will completely disappear and never be reborn!
And only when the old fruit disappears and the desire is not repeated, can the new devil fruit manufacturing machine produce a brand new fruit, otherwise it is useless to have only the machine!
Facing Vegapunk's doubts and worries, Ji Xing smiled and said: "Doctor, you don't need to worry about this. It is precisely because I have a unique desire that I want to create a fruit that belongs to me alone!"
"Unique desire?" Vegapunk looked at Ji Xing strangely, and did not continue to ask. After thinking for a while, he said: "That's also difficult... The manufacture of artificial devil fruits will fail, and the real devil fruit manufacturing machine wants to replicate..."
"The first problem of artificial devil fruits is the multiplication of the CR factor, right?" Ji Xing said.
"Hmm?" Vegapunk was slightly surprised: "You also know about bloodline factors... Is it from Caesar?"
"I know a little bit, I don't know if I can keep up with the doctor's pace. In comparison, I am better at machine manufacturing. Let's try to cooperate?"
Vegapunk was silent for two seconds.
"The structure of protein molecules..."
"Levels one, two, three, and four..."
"Abnormal bloodline factors..."
"Resynthesis of regions..."
From some simple questions, to slightly tricky questions, to very tricky questions.
In addition to him who discovered the bloodline factor, even some questions that his assistants Caesar and Quinn could not answer were answered by Ji Xing!
Vegapunk gradually showed a look of surprise.
Is this still not good at?
Better at machine manufacturing?
You are the strongest in the world...you speak with force...don't you know too much? !
Vegapunk was somewhat skeptical about life, and started a more in-depth discussion with Ji Xing. Ji Xing, who had called Xiao Ai to his side in the Demon Continent, could even occasionally give Vegapunk some suggestions on black technology that made him think deeply. So he forgot himself a little during this chat and had a brainstorming session!
"So it can be done this way... Yes, if so..." The old man paced in the research institute, muttering to himself, his face flushed with excitement.
I don't know how long it took, and the light of dusk shone through the window in a trance. He was shocked to realize the passage of time and looked back at Ji Xing who was sitting on the sofa quietly waiting for him to come back to his senses.
"You..."
"I was born with an extraordinary memory. I can basically remember everything I see and quickly analyze knowledge." Ji Xing smiled and said, "How about it, Dr. Vegapunk, can you create a new devil fruit with me?"
Remember everything you see?
Isn't this my Brain-Brain Fruit?
Vegapunk was a little tempted. It was very tempting for a scientist to have a research partner who could keep up with his pace and explore the highest technology of the ancient kingdom, but...
"I am a scientist employed by the World Government... and I want to know why you want to make a special devil fruit yourself?"
"My power has reached a bottleneck." Ji Xing replied: "If I want to improve it further, conventional means are difficult. The easiest way is to eat a devil fruit. I have considered the existing ones, but after knowing the origin of the devil fruit, I think it is better to make a suitable one myself."
"As for being employed by the World Government..." He looked out the window and said: "Doctor, please think about it. I will go out to fight first. After that... Doctor, there is probably nothing to worry about."
After he finished speaking, he flashed away!
In a few breaths, he left the research institute and stood on the coast. At the end of his sight, a warship was riding the wind and waves to Egghead Island!
In the sky, clouds rolled and clouds spread.
The birds on Egghead Island were scared away in all directions!
"It's a lineup as expected."
