18th Shiki
"Isn't it natural for the navy to capture pirates? Ever since Barrett left the Roger Pirates and started operating on his own, he's been causing a lot of trouble on the sea.
After Roger was executed, Barrett acted recklessly on the sea like a madman.
How much trouble had he caused in the months since his execution?
Aren't pirates like these who have no goals and are solely motivated by destruction the ones to be eliminated?"
Zefa's words are well-founded. There are many pirates on the sea. Under the ruling and management model with corruption at the top and chaos at the bottom, the number of pirates has been on a steady upward trend.
For most pirates, the World Government's attitude is to take things as they come. Without pirates making trouble on the sea, how can the importance of the World Government be better demonstrated?
Only when pirates cause large-scale damage to ships at sea and non-member countries can the member countries realize the importance of this identity and work hard to collect Tianshang Gold.
The World Government will not make a big fuss to eliminate pirates who act for profit. Apart from Roger, the special individual, the last person who was taken seriously by the World Government was Bondi Wald.
In terms of strength, Wald is far inferior to Whitebeard and Golden Lion, but his style of doing things is too disorderly. Wald, known as the world destroyer, has ultimately been purely for the purpose of destruction.
That's why the World Government dispatched a large number of manpower and even sent Wald to prison as an undercover agent. Barrett's current behavior is no different from what Wald did back then.
"That's true, but in reality, it's because Barrett's path is approaching Firefly Island.
I don't deny that Sidiliel has close ties with the navy, but you seem to have a closer personal relationship with him."
"Everything I did was in accordance with Navy regulations and nothing was out of line."
Zefa said this with full confidence. After all, a good personal relationship was not enough to make Zefa do something that violated the principles of the Navy. All his help to Oran was within the principles of the Navy, including sending generals to capture some troublesome pirates.
"So, Marshal Kong, is the Navy really going to sit back and watch Barrett run amok on the sea?"
"How is that possible? That guy has already crossed the line, and our headquarters is already planning to take action against him."
Barrett is a lone ranger, and it is this lone ranger identity that makes some actions difficult.
After all, Barrett didn't have any crew members, and it would take some time to stop such a reckless guy.
"This island is the only way for him to advance. Because the record pointer is stored for too long, Barrett will definitely stay for a while. This is our opportunity."
As he spoke, Zefa took out a golden Den Den Mushi and placed it on the empty table.
That is the golden Den Den Mushi used to launch the Demon Slayer Order, a special privilege granted to the Admirals of the Navy.
Although the World Government has authorized the Navy, the Admiral has the power to use the Golden Den Den Mushi, or give the Golden Den Den Mushi to others to decide whether to launch the Demon Slayer Order.
However, the Demon Slayer Order's actions need to be prepared in advance. The Demon Slayer Order's basic equipment is ten large warships, five lieutenant generals and elite soldiers of the navy.
Unless the location where the Demon Slaying Order is issued happens to be around the Navy Headquarters, it would be impossible to mobilize so many troops without prior preparation.
As a former admiral of the navy, Zephyr also possesses a special golden Den Den Mushi.
Normally, after Zephyr resigns, the Golden Den Den Mushi should be handed over.
However, the current situation of the navy is in a tense period. In the entire navy, there is only one general, the Warring States General, who is busy everywhere and doing the work of three people.
After all, Zephyr still holds the rank of general, and he is needed to put out fires near the headquarters from time to time. This golden Den Den Mushi remains in Zephyr's hands as a special power.
Well, Garp doesn't have this thing either. This is a strict rule within the navy. You cannot possess this thing unless you are promoted to admiral.
Apart from the permission of the Admiral, only the World Government has the power to directly initiate such an action.
"Okay, that's it. The accident during Roger's execution has caused these pirates to become even more arrogant. The Navy really needs a big move to curb the pirates' arrogance."
Afterwards, He was called over by Kong, and after discussion at the Naval Staff Headquarters, the feasibility of the plan was basically confirmed.
The actions within the Naval Headquarters were finalized, and accordingly, Sengoku became busy.
Because of his family situation, Zefa usually does not leave the headquarters for too long. Now a large number of the headquarters population has moved to a nearby base for temporary residence. After discussing this matter, Zefa has to go back to guard everyone's family members.
In order not to waste too much time on the road, he ran here this time, and he would have to run back in the same way later.
Zefa really made a trip alone for Oran.
"Zhan Guo, I'm Kong."
"Marshal Kong, what's going on?"
At this time, Zhan Guo was retracing Roger's path in the Grand Line, responsible for investigating some special situations.
"Due to special reasons, this headquarters has planned a capture plan against Douglas Barrett, and the Demon Slayer Order has been launched.
You will lead this operation, and the remaining warships will be led by Gumier, Bruglas, Borsalino, and Cap, and will assemble at Lime Island."
Five lieutenant generals is the minimum standard, and there will be a certain degree of upgrade depending on the situation.
There are also gaps among the vice admirals of the navy, from Garp on the top to the lower limit of vice admiral. Hmm. Maybe it's Smoker who was almost forgotten by a man named Wei. In short, the strength gap among this class is huge.
Ordinary lieutenant generals are just making up the numbers to deal with Barrett. Without strong enough high-end combat power to defeat him head-on, simply bombarding him is meaningless.
The navy needs enough military achievements to deter these arrogant pirates, although the effect may not be obvious. After all, the disappearance of the two big pirates, Roger and Golden Lion, did not achieve the expected effect.
But some things have to be done after all. If we can get some people to give up the idea of going to sea, it will be helpful to the stability of the ocean.
Since we have to do it, there can be no mistakes. Golden Lion breaking into the Navy Headquarters alone is no different from giving away his head. What the Navy needs is a record of proactive attacks.
In a sense, a lone ranger like Barrett also meets their needs. After all, he cannot cause large-scale war alone.
"Brother Kong, this is me."
"I know. You don't have to do that yourself. Roger is dead, and the remaining people can't cause much trouble. This is just a request from the World Government."
"Yes, I understand."
A few days later, on Firefly Island, as the energy in the laboratory surged, a special combat body walked off the test bench.
Strings of codes flashed on the orange-yellow mask, and liquid of unknown color surged inside the combat body.
There are well-defined muscles on the exposed abdomen, but that is not the flesh of a carbon-based creature at all. Instead, it is a special biological metal synthesized by Blitz using the Swallow-Swallow Fruit after hundreds of thousands of experiments.
Through the body constructed of countless metal fibers, this combat body can burst out extraordinary strength. The most important thing is that this biological metal can allow the serum of the ability user to flow through it.
Just like the green blood invented by Vegapunk in the original timeline, these serums are a replica of the abilities. Through these serums flowing in the body, the combat bodies of the Project can also exert the abilities of the fruit.
Click. Click.
Every time the machine took a step forward, the collision between the metal body and the ground produced a series of beautiful musical notes. The golden hair behind its head fluttered along with the machine's progress. Finally, the combat body raised its hands and grabbed the two crimson swords on the test bench.
This pair of swords is made of iron ore as the basic material and through the fusion of Blitzcrank. They are hard, heavy and sharp, which are the characteristics of this pair of swords.
"Project Origin, codename Gold. Individual name, Shiki."
The combat entities in the Project Universe are replicas of ancient heroic spirits. Although they are mechanical life forms, these individuals are full of historical shadows.
Project Gold was created based on the Golden Lion's template, and the Golden Lion's combat mode was also recorded, so the opponent's form was required.
This is also the reason why Orlan charged Golden Lion special medical fees. Only if he cooperated and entered all the data could such a new Shiji be created.
Not everyone has the characteristics of Zoro's knife rack, which can make any knife fit well in his hand.
Aside from the special Project armor, its body shape is exactly the same as the Golden Lion, including the rudder on its head and the golden hair.
This is the impact caused during data entry. If this part is eliminated, the balance and various parameters of the machine during operation will need to be modified.
However, in Project King, no setting is redundant.
The golden hair looks like hair, but it is actually a new metal fused with gold. It has the conductivity and ductility of gold, as well as the hardness and toughness of other metals.
The reason for using gold is that it is the best formula Blitzcrank has tried so far, and its attributes are relatively good.
The combination ability of the Swallow Swallow Fruit has exceeded the conventional metallurgy and materials science. Even a difference of one gram will result in a huge difference in the final synthesized materials, not to mention that the synthesized materials are not limited to metals.
Even every time Blitzcrank synthesizes a new material, a new material is added to the synthesis formula, and the number of materials waiting for it to test is endless.
If Blitzcrank itself wasn't a special mechanical life form, the testing alone could probably support an entire laboratory for a lifetime.
Lion Power
"Stop, Shiki, don't test weapons here. This place can't withstand your destruction."
"yes."
Seeing that the new Shiki was going to continue testing his combat capabilities according to the previously set procedures, Orlan stopped him and took him to a wider testing ground.
According to the impact estimated by Orlan, this special combat body is capable of completely demolishing this place.
Several moving targets were thrown out. At this moment, Shi Ji had completed the calculation of the target, and then the "rudder" above his head changed.
Several lightning bolts shot out from it. It was not a decoration, but a special electromagnetic cannon.
Unlike the traditional electromagnetic gun, it can not only launch special projectiles, but also simply release beam currents, and release special electric lasers like Kate.
The energy consumed is some of Ginny's blood products.
"Lion Power. Chopping Wave!"
With a swing of his two swords, Shiki, as a mechanical life form, did not need to train. From the moment he was "born", he possessed ultimate strength and physique. Combined with the combat program recorded from the golden lion, he swung out a slash.
The large target made of reinforced concrete on the shooting range broke with a sound and was cut into two pieces smoothly. Then the two swords in Shi Ji's hands flew into the air and shot into the distance.
The electromagnetic cannon on its head uses electrical energy developed through the bloodline factor of the Thunder Fruit, but the body contains a special serum that is a replica of the Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit.
After all, Golden Lion has been eating the Float-Float Fruit for decades, and his combat mode has long been integrated with the ability of the fruit. Without replicating this ability, Shiki's combat program will not be perfect.
People cannot eat two fruits, but such an organism is not affected, and Shiqi is not an individual with fruit as the core like Frankenstein.
In two unrelated operating pipelines, the serum of the two fruits is clearly separated.
After excluding the factor of Haki, Project Gold is the pinnacle of combat power without Haki. However, the purpose of Armament Haki is to enhance defense. Shiki's mechanical body doesn't care about this kind of thing, so the impact is not particularly great.
In terms of observation Haki, although it cannot predict the outcome through special sensors, it can react at a speed far exceeding that of humans. Combined with the combat experience of the Golden Lion, Project Gold is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
As for the issue of Haki and the body, although Frankenstein has the ability to use Haki, the relationship between this power and that special mind is still inconclusive.
Shiki and Frankenstein are two completely different modes of operation.
Frankenstein and Blitzcrank are both emotional creations, while Skir is a simple combat weapon without any emotional influence.
This is also a lesson learned from the Project Universe. Everything about Project Gold is copied from the Golden Lion. If there are similar emotional memories again, I am afraid he will really go the way of a rebellious son.
The Golden Lion is never one to be content with being inferior to others. Even if he joins temporarily, he is always planning something new.
Orlan will not make the same mistake as Source Plan.
"It's a pity, there's a problem that can't be solved."
If there is any drawback to Project Gold, it is that it is too expensive, ridiculously expensive.
It took nearly three years from the dream that involved the Source Project universe to the creation of the basic framework, and then to the arrival of the Golden Lion to finalize it, and finally to its birth with the help of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.
Putting aside the time cost, the material consumption is also very serious. Coupled with various expenses, Firefly Island's recent finances are once again approaching deficit.
At the same time, technical issues meant that this thing had to be produced by Orlan itself. Even in the Project Universe, which almost controlled the world's economy, the Project Company had not produced many machines of this level.
The super body went out of control, Doomsday escaped during the research process, and finally only one Annihilation was successfully born to deal with the crisis of the super body.
Combat units of this level have never been mass-produced machines. If you want to mass-produce them, you are bound to give up some things.
"It's time to think about learning Caesar's traditional skills."
When Orlan was planning to conduct new research on the fraudulent funding project, Zefa called again. After many days, Barrett had made new moves.
