"The weather has changed again."
Inside the Hall of Power.
Sitting upright on the sofa, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro immediately looked out the window at the sky, where the weather was changing rapidly and lightning was flashing.
"It hasn't gotten colder."
"It didn't snow."
"We didn't see the ice dragon either."
Jaygarcia Saturn walked to the window and gazed at the thunder that blotted out the sky above Mary Geoise and the violent lightning that danced like silver snakes.
"Don't be on edge all day."
"This is, after all, the Grand Line."
"Sudden weather changes are very normal."
Marcus Mars felt that the two of them were being far too sensitive.
Ever since Rosen released an ice dragon from a distance of over a hundred miles and had it perched atop the roof of Mary Geoise, he felt that both Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn had become extremely sensitive.
He's always on edge, like every little thing is a threat.
Any slight change in the weather would make people think that Rosen was manipulating the skies of Mary Geoise again.
"It's just a normal storm."
"At most, it's just a bit larger in scale."
"Don't be too nervous."
Topman Warcury glanced at the torrential rain that blotted out the sky, and the lightning that kept tearing through the heavens like silver dragons ravaging the horizon.
"Now that Rosen has taken over our Marine and is busy with the commissioning ceremony, it's impossible for him to cause any trouble at this time."
"We should think about how to explain this to Lord Im. This time we've ceded the Marine. If we don't have a reason to convince Lord Im, then..."
Shepherd Ju Peter paused here, but everyone already understood what he was about to say.
The other five elders felt a chill run down their spines.
Will everything be taken back?
No, not at all.
After all, they didn't violate Im's taboo.
However, they will definitely have to suffer.
If you don't want to suffer these hardships, you must give Im a reason to be willing to endure it and grant him some more time.
That's not impossible either.
For the Five Elders, time is merely a unit of measurement; for Im, time is utterly meaningless.
As long as the Marine Headquarters can be reclaimed in the end, the few days that were ceded will be nothing more than a short nap.
...
...
In the Admiral's office.
After rewarding Douglas Bullet, Doll, T Bone, and Gild Tesoro, Rosen turned to Vinsmoke Judge.
"Judge, there's something I need you to do."
After saying that.
He glanced at the artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form, in T Bone's hand.
"Governor."
"Please give your instructions."
Vinsmoke Judge, who had just been promoted, was riding high. He no longer simply obeyed Rosen's orders; he treated them as gospel.
What revival of Germa 66?
What rule over the North Blue?
He had long since forgotten all of these things.
In his view, nothing was more important than Rosen's orders.
"Bring your science class."
"Mass-produced artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form."
Rosen made a startling statement.
If the act of using a knife as a pen to carve the Marine's rules into the bones of the Celestial Dragons showed them Rosen's current ambition, then the mass production of artificial Fish-Fish Fruits, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form, showed them Rosen's current aspirations.
Having a precedent of mass-producing combat uniforms and popularizing them throughout the entire 1st Branch of the North Blue Marine, Douglas Bullet, Doll, and others certainly understood.
Rosen intends to popularize the artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form, throughout the entire army.
One for each person.
"Mass-produced artificial Fish-Fish Fruit?"
"He wouldn't be thinking of that."
"How about we make artificial Fish-Fish Fruits available at Marine Headquarters?"
Gion, who had worked with Rosen for the shortest time, felt a chill run down her spine as she listened.
Rosen's methods, charisma, ambition, and so on.
Today she finally got to see everything at once.
No wonder this man, in less than a year in the North Blue, turned the world upside down, transforming the North Blue First Branch into the prototype of a second Marine Headquarters.
"Governor."
"If I'm not mistaken, this artificial Devil Fruit was made by Vegapunk, right?"
Vinsmoke Judge reached out and took the artificial Fish-Fish Fruit from T Bone, then asked Rosen.
That's right.
Rosen nodded.
"He still managed to do it."
"Vegapunk".
Vinsmoke Judge's expression was somewhat complicated, showing resentment at falling behind Vegapunk, frustration at being surpassed by Vegapunk time and time again, but also a hint of admiration.
The lineage factor was discovered by all the scientists at MADS, but when it comes to the application technology of the lineage factor, Vegapunk is undoubtedly the leader.
He, Vinsmoke Judge, has clone soldiers and cyborgs.
Vegapunk has Stussy and Seraphim.
Caesar has the ability to mass-produce artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits.
Vegapunk possesses a man-made Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
As for Quinn.
Whether it's research into biological weapons or self-modification, nothing compares to Vegapunk.
Because one Seraph encompasses everything.
You could say that.
One Vegapunk is equivalent to the combined number of scientists like Vinsmoke Judge, Quinn, and Caesar, and in Plus form.
"Can you replicate this technology?"
Rosen looked at Vinsmoke Judge.
"If there is a sample, the possibility of replicating it is very high."
"However, besides the technology, funding, manpower, and resources required for artificial Devil Fruits, there is one crucial factor that needs to be addressed in order to mass-produce artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form."
"If this factor cannot be resolved, even if we master the technology to manufacture artificial Devil Fruits, and have the funds, manpower, and resources for mass production, the idea of mass-producing artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form will remain a pipe dream, an illusion that will never become a reality."
Vinsmoke Judge suppressed his complex emotions and picked up the artificial Fish-Fish Fruit to examine it carefully.
He was ultimately the second-best scientist after Vegapunk.
With just a little observation, the conditions that need to be met for mass-producing artificial Fish-Fish Fruit have been roughly determined.
"Kaido?"
Upon hearing this, Rosen pondered for a moment and immediately realized what factor Vinsmoke Judge was referring to.
"Yes."
"The principle behind artificial Devil Fruits was already known during the MADS era. It's simply about extracting lineage factors and then creating a Devil Fruit like a clone."
"However, it is impossible to repeatedly extract bloodline factors from a Devil Fruit. Just as only the person who eats the first Devil Fruit will gain the power of that Devil Fruit, once bloodline factors are extracted from a Devil Fruit, that Devil Fruit will be ruined. When it is extracted a second time, it will become an ordinary fruit."
Vinsmoke Judge nodded and said:
"In order to overcome this problem, our group of scientists came up with an alternative approach."
"Devil Fruits can only extract bloodline factors once, so what about Devil Fruit users?"
"Just as one can repeatedly extract bloodline factors from a person, is it possible to repeatedly extract bloodline factors related to Devil Fruits from a Devil Fruit user?"
"The artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form created by Vegapunk is the best answer."
"Yes, that's possible."
"so..."
After hearing Vinsmoke Judge explain the matter of artificial Devil Fruits in the most straightforward way, everyone in the office understood the three conditions that must be met to truly achieve mass production of artificial Devil Fruits.
First.
The technology of creating artificial Devil Fruits.
second.
Funding, human resources, and material resources.
third.
"Therefore, we must capture Kaido alive."
"Right?"
Rosen said what Vinsmoke Judge wanted to say.
