Hogback entered the core layer of the JD association. He changed from a doctor who was greedy for money to a famous doctor who was willing to help the world.
Later, when a great pirate named [Moonlight Moria] came to the South China Sea and was planning to go do something big with him, Hogbak agreed on the surface, but then reported him to the JD Association, and asked the Shichibukai to Moriah jumped on the spot.
At this point, all the Shichibukai recruited by the World Government have fallen into the hands of the JD Association, namely:
He has a close friendship with Shanks, who is a Draco and is currently the mediator of the JD Association, and [Eagle Eye] Joracol Mihawk, who has done some transactions with the Five Old Stars;
Boya Hancock, who works for the JD Association in the escort and stowaway business in the Windless Zone and is now the empress of Nine Snake Island. She is also a senior member of the association and has a crush on Aokiji;
The Sand Crocodile Crocodile was defeated by the JD Society in the Kingdom of Alabasta in the early years, but the news of the defeat was covered up, and the sand crocodile Crocodile existed in name only;
The Don Quixote family, which has a deep partnership with the JD Association, has Don Quixote Doflamingo, the family boss;
Under the 10,000-meter-deep sea, Fisher Tiger, the branch director of the JD Association on Fish-Man Island, was known to the World Government due to some trade dealings with the Shampoo Islands on the sea islands, and became one of the Shichibukai under the secret operation of the association;
A strong man who has become famous in the past year and wields the famous sword [Thunder Split Blade], red-nosed Bucky, who is known as a supermarket tycoon in the Chambord Islands;
In addition, Moonlight Moria, the Shadow Fruit ability user, was directly captured by Bartholomew Bear in the South China Sea.
Shichibukai, seven people, just right.
Because of this contribution, Hogback was directly rewarded by the association. Wu Ke rewarded the other party with the surgical fruit that he had already researched, hoping that the other party could use this space-based surgical fruit to continue to improve himself, which was already about to climb to the top of the world. medical skills.
However, Huogubak seemed to have some misunderstanding. After receiving the fruits of the operation, he was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down to make it clear to Wu Ke.
"President, I will definitely work hard to develop this surgical fruit. One day in the future, when you need me, Hogback, I will dedicate my life to perform an immortal surgery for you."
God damn immortality surgery, he talks about it as if he is not an immortal life now, but a regular life form. Unless the rules of the world change drastically, he can basically live as long as heaven and earth.
Of course, being killed does not count, and eternal life is just a false proposition. After all, even the ordinary universe will one day die due to entropy.
However, Huogubak gave him a reminder, which made Wu Ke suddenly realize that this surgical fruit, which he regarded as a space fruit to understand the rules of space, had the ultimate ability of its own existence.
That is, through the development of fruit ability users, one can eventually perform immortality surgery on others at the cost of the surgeon's own life.
So far, as far as Wu Ke or Split Body No. 36 is concerned, there is no way to grant others the ability to live forever without changing their life forms.
But if you use the resurrection ability of the alchemy circle, the ability to bind the Devil Fruit's rules into the fruit, and the ability to re-form the Devil Fruit, coupled with the ability of the surgical fruit, can you develop a new industry without changing others? Under the premise of the original life form, to give others the ability to live forever, that is, to mass-produce (pseudo) immortal people.
I have to say that this project is very attractive. Talents are always scarce. It is difficult to cultivate a good person, but the other person dies due to the baptism of time and aging. It is almost a loss. Big business.
Although a small number of people who were about to die of old age were willing to continue to shine for the association and were transformed into Balrogs by him, the majority of the remaining people still felt tired and wanted to rest and want to be buried in peace.
Wu Ke privately believed that this was mainly because most people valued their original life form.
If you can possess a life form that does not change theirs, you can extend their lifespan, or even allow them to achieve (pseudo) immortality.
Some people are definitely willing to accept it and continue to shine for him and justice.
Therefore, Wu Ke invested in this project, and after more than half a year of trying, he realized the project of exchanging the contribution value internally for immortality technology.
Hogbak used the fruit of surgery, which is actually the conceptual ability of spatial rules inside, to cut into the abstract life of human beings.
If time is a long river, human life is like a swimming fish that moves forward in the direction of the long river, and will continue to be eroded by the force of the water flow of time in the process of advancement.
What the immortality surgery does is to use a sealed annular container on the swimming fish that represents human life to completely isolate the waters where the fish currently represents the person undergoing surgery swim from the waters of the long river of time outside. Come on.
Although the fish in the annular container will continue to flow forward along the river of time together with the device, its life is no longer affected by the outside world because it no longer has contact with the outside water and only swims in the sealed annular container. The erosion of time and water will keep the appearance of the container.
"There is a flaw in immortality surgery. When it gives a person eternal life, it will also fix the person's strength to the state when he was given immortality.
If this kind of immortality surgery is performed on a baby, then the baby who is deprived of growth attributes will always be a baby.
Compared with adults, babies whose brains are not fully developed do not even have the ability to accumulate knowledge and experience. "
"Yes, Mr. President, but compared to such a small flaw as losing the ability to grow, immortality is already something that countless people are flocking to."
"That's right, Hogback, how do you feel?"
"I'm a little weak and mentally exhausted. It's like I stayed up late for more than ten days."
"The price of the time-killing rule is partially offset by the space rules in the surgery fruit, but the remaining part, such as the part that puts an isolation container on life, must be paid by the surgery fruit ability user himself.
Although you have been resurrected by me, the consumption of your soul cannot be replenished by this resurrection. Depending on the weakness of your soul, it will take at least a month of cultivation time to recover without external interference.
Does it take one month to grant immortality to a person, and it is not clear whether the person who is granted immortality will have the attributes of immortality worn away in a more distant time. The effect of the immortality surgery on the surgical fruit is worse than I imagined. A lot. "
[That is only relative to you...]
Sindori, who is already a nurse, has her mouth twitching. As a medical assistant in immortality surgery through her connections, she is already a little numb.
Bringing people back to life, rejuvenating people, and making people immortal. These unimaginable things have become accustomed to her in the past six months.
That's right, in addition to studying the immortality surgery of the surgical fruit, Wu Ke also studied the rule ability of the growth fruit. It turned out that when paired with the ability of the growth fruit, the two can be combined into the technology of "immortality".
Wu Ke can already imagine how much the shelf life of the talents he cultivated will be improved. This is simply a preservative for talents.
It's a pity that his project of using the surgical fruit to perform immortal surgery on others failed. His Mark of the Flame Demon King was too contagious. As it is a rule-based power, the Mark of the Flame Demon King has a higher priority in his case. This directly resulted in the subjects of his immortality surgery being transformed into half-balrogs after the surgery.
Although the Balrog is not a complete body and can still retain part of human rationality, as time goes by, these people will sooner or later be eroded by the power of the Balrog that is completely integrated into their lives, and will eventually be transformed into complete Balrog individuals.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, the death penalty has become a suspended death sentence, and even Wu Ke, as the sentencer, is currently unable to interfere with the commutation of the sentence.
Although Wu Ke's own immortality surgery would not bring much burden and consumption to him, it also became very useless because of the above reasons.
If he doesn't care about being turned into a Balrog, wouldn't his Balrog mark be more fragrant than the twists and turns of immortality surgery, and the longevity of immortality may not be guaranteed?
too much?
After all, compared to the immortality surgery of the surgical fruit, his Balrog Mark also has the ability to grant immortality to others.
As long as he, the Flame Demon King, as the source, does not die, other Balrogs can be resurrected in his flames even if they are killed by others.
Of course, the premise is that Wu Ke is willing to pay the price of resurrection, as the energy consumption that constitutes the body of the Balrog - the more powerful the Balrog, the higher the price he needs to pay to resurrect.
Fortunately, Wu Ke thought of someone when it came to soul consumption.
.
.
At the end of 1509 in the Haiyuan calendar, Queen BIGMOM of the Kingdom of Totland disappeared for a period of time. During this period, the Kingdom of Totland experienced a situation in which soul-formed lives suddenly disappeared.
But when BIMMOM returned, her children almost didn't attack her because of the huge changes in her body.
Charlotte Lingling returned to her youthful appearance, and Wu Ke restored her youth and performed an immortality operation on her in exchange for the soul fruit in her body.
At first, BIGMOM was a little hesitant about this deal, but after hearing that Wu Ke had the ability to resurrect the dead, she agreed. She just put forward an additional condition and asked Wu Ke to help resurrect an important person in her mind.
Of course, people who have been dead for a long time are not good. Charlotte Lingling also accepted this. However, even if it was just a Carmelite nun who came out of her memory, she was willing to put this false person fabricated by Wu Ke , regarded as the benefactor who once adopted him.
Wu Ke didn't know who the Carmelite nun was, but the memory extracted from Charlotte Lingling's consciousness and the woman fabricated from the soul fragments were indeed a shining figure like a Virgin.
Gentleness, bravery, kindness, it seems that the beautiful qualities in the world can be used on each other. Until Charlotte Lingling was satisfied and left with the substitute woman in her arms, Wu Kedou felt that he could be taught by that person. It's the world's fault that a child becomes a pirate.
Of course, it may also be due to memory distortion, thus creating a saint character that simply cannot exist in this world.
In response, Wu Ke just sighed, and then threw the soul fruit to Xin Duoli, allowing her, as a medical assistant in the immortal surgery, to become a soul fruit capable user.
There is only one requirement for her, and that is to use the soul fruit ability to replenish the opponent's soul energy when Hogback's soul is weak, so that the cooldown time of the once-a-month immortality surgery can be shortened as much as possible.
"In addition, the immortality surgery should be improved. We can't just grant immortality to a person. That will only make the person who gets immortality more likely to enter a state of laziness. We need to make a step-by-step abridged version of this surgery, such as Launching a project that only extends lifespan..."
Five-year, ten-year, and twenty-year life-extending surgery soon appeared in the JD Association in early 1510. Like the youth-restoring surgery developed by imitating the growth fruits of the surgery, in addition to being exchanged for contribution points within the association, Also started selling to the outside world.
The Four Seas, the Grand Line, the New World, some countries that firmly support the world government, and their top rulers are gradually being contacted.
Faced with the special project of extending life and restoring youth, and fearing that the world government would take it away from them and not even give them a mouthful of soup to drink, these people began to secretly form a close cooperative relationship with the JD association behind the back of the world government. .
Finally, more than a year later, in the middle of 1511, the world was full of members of the JD Association and like-minded allies, except for Marie Joa.
Under the mediation and leadership of the JD Association, mutual benefit and mutual prosperity have gradually emerged around the world.
However, the collection of gold became more and more severe that day. For example, for a franchised country with a population of less than 200,000, the country was only required to pay 30 million beri per year, which has increased to nearly 100 million beri.
In terms of being a bad person, the Celestial Dragons behind the World Government are serious, and the underlying reason behind this is that the World Government is preparing to repair an ancient weapon.
project, and Vegapunk was responsible for part of that project, so the JD Association also knew about it.
.
.
"President, are you going to take action against the World Government?"
On June 7, 1511 in the Haiyuan calendar, Long Wen came to Xingfu Island to report the situation.
"It will take a while, we still need to make some preparations."
Wu Ke replied that the arrangement of this world is almost at the final stage.
"How long do we have to wait?"
Long was a little anxious. The continuous increase in the collection of gold from the sky put great financial pressure on the entire JD association.
Compared to the time when we only controlled the East China Sea, it can be said that the JD Association is helping to pay the heavenly gold that the entire world now needs to pay.
"It's coming soon. Anyway, this year's gold is in the sky, so you don't have to worry."
Wu Ke held the newspaper in his hand, and saw the news written on it: "The noble world nobles are preparing to lower themselves to the East China Sea and visit the prosperous countries in the East China Sea on behalf of the world government."
On July 27, 1511 in the Haiyuan calendar, an ordinary city guard in the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea fired the first shot of change:
A world aristocrat who was armed with a gun on the street and prepared to attack a woman holding a child was shot in the head by a young guard after the city guard warned him to no avail and was ready to resist law enforcement.
The bullets from ordinary firearms are not very powerful, but they still passed through the glass helmet with little protective effect, shot through the skull of the man with a stupid look, brought out the red and white things, and saved a man with a child. woman.
