"What?"
"Tell me the details immediately!"
Dr. Vegapunk furrowed his brows as he spoke.
"This situation should be impossible! Since the inventor is a pirate, and the bean effects are so extraordinary, it must have been made using some extremely special or rare materials! This beans is so common that even the most basic combatants of the Whitebeard Pirates carry a bag of it!"
"Each bag contains hundreds of beans!"
Admiral Kizaru scratched his head and explained the entire situation to Dr. Vegapunk in detail.
The more Dr. Vegapunk listened, the more his breathing quickened!
"Incredible!"
"Incredible!"
"Incredible!"
Dr. Vegapunk exclaimed three times in a row! The sheer quantity in circulation means the drug production cost must be very low!
Such a low-cost drug with such terrifying effects!
Unimaginable!
Dr. Vegapunk knew he had come to the right place this time!
Seeing the handful of Senzu Beans in Admiral Kizarino hand, Dr. Vegapunk immediately took them to his laboratory.
Admiral Kizaru naturally waited outside.
After a full day and night, Dr. Vegapunk emerged with dark circles under his eyes.
"Dr. Vegapunk, while researching this drug is important, your health is equally important!"
Admiral Kizaru quickly approached and spoke earnestly.
"No matter, no matter!"
"I've pretty much figured out the basic materials of this drug!"
"But no matter how I try to synthesize it, I just can't recreate the Senzu Beans!"
Dr. Vegapunk said with a hint of regret.
"Take these reports and brief Fleet Admiral Sengoku first!"
"However, I'll continue researching this!"
"I'll let you know as soon as there's any breakthrough!"
With that, Dr. Vegapunk immediately returned to his laboratory and resumed his research.
Admiral Kizaru didn't dare to delay either and promptly called Fleet Admiral Sengoku to report.
Of course, the news of Admiral Akainu using Senzu Beans to heal his wounds in the training ground had already spread far and wide among the Marines! Even Vergo, stationed on a distant island, had heard about it.
...
The New World, Dressrosa.
Doflamingo, who had just finished a call with the King, slammed his fist on the solid wood table, shattering it instantly!
"Doffy, what's wrong?" Trebol quickly asked with concern.
"These people are really pushing me too far!"
"They keep pressuring me to hand over Caesar, even threatening to destroy my country if I don't comply!"
The veins on Doflamingo temples were about to burst!
"Maybe we should just send Caesar over for now!" Trebol suggested with a frown.
"No, if we don't know what King and his crew are planning, Caesar will never return once he's sent over!"
Doflamingo shook his head.
At that moment, a tiny Den Den Mushi in Doflamingo pocket began to ring.
Doflamingo glanced at Trebol with a frown.
Trebol immediately understood and quickly sealed off the entire office.
"Vergo, what's going on?"
Doflamingo got straight to the point.
This call was from Vergo, who had been sent by Doflamingo over a decade ago to infiltrate the Marines as a spy. Vergo rarely contacted Doflamingo directly!
This sudden contact must mean there's something urgent!
"Young Master, the Navy has recently discovered that the Whitebeard Pirates possess a miraculous drug that can supposedly revive even those on the brink of death!"
After saying this, Vergo immediately hung up the phone.
Doflamingo quickly connected this information with Kaido and the others' interest in Caesar.
"Trebol, immediately search the entire underworld for any items related to the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Focus on a specific drug—no matter the cost, we must acquire it!"
Doflamingo ordered without hesitation.
Trebol, understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded and hurried out to carry out the task. As expected, Doflamingo, being one of the emperors of the underworld, had extensive connections.
.....
Soon, he managed to purchase the Whitebeard Pirates' "Senzu Beans" from a professional thief. Staring at the Senzu Beans on his desk, Doflamingo fell into deep thought.
"Is this drug truly that miraculous?"
Doflamingo picked up a fruit knife beside him and plunged it fiercely into his own thigh.
"Doffy, what are you doing?" Trebol exclaimed in panic.
Gritting his teeth through the pain, Doflamingo tossed a Senzu Bean into his mouth.
Moments later, a green light emanated from the wound on his thigh.
After two breaths, the bleeding had completely stopped, and there was no trace of injury left!
Even the fatigue and headaches from staying up late for the past two days were instantly cured!
At that moment, Doflamingo felt an overwhelming surge of energy within him.
Trebol stared in disbelief at the transformation of Doflamingo wound.
"Doffy, what... what just happened?" Trebol stammered, utterly bewildered.
After all, this was beyond anything he could comprehend!
Doflamingo smirked.
"No wonder Kaido and the others have been so desperate to get Caesar from me!"
"So this is their goal!" Doflamingo laughed heartily.
"Trebol, take these Senzu Beans to Caesar immediately!"
"Tell him to drop everything and focus entirely on researching these beans!"
Doflamingo commanded, convinced that both the value and functionality of the Senzu Beans made it essential for him to master their production.
"Understood, Doffy!"
"But what about Kaido?" Trebol asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, I'll handle Kaido!"
"You must personally oversee this delivery!"
"And don't rush back once you're there!"
"Keep me updated through the Den Den Mushi!"
Doflamingo waved his hand, speaking with absolute determination.
