New World, Red Leaf Island.
This island, located at the junction of three fixed waterways and with relatively prosperous commerce, has become the temporary headquarters of the Lionheart Pirates.
After attending Whitebeard's funeral, Ren returned to the island and began to retreat.
Not in the bedroom. This time, he built a fully equipped laboratory, collected a lot of papers and information on devil fruit research, and began more in-depth research.
In the laboratory with white walls, the lights are bright.
Ren's eyes were silvery white, as if all emotions had faded away, leaving only cold and pure rationality. He placed the orange zhenzhen fruit with spiral arabesque patterns on the surface on a plate on the ultra-clean workbench, and then carefully followed the spiral with a knife. Pattern, start cutting.
Just be careful and don't worry about damaging your devil fruit.
The transmission and transfer of Devil Fruit abilities are regular.
Some people gain abilities after taking one bite of the fruit, while others swallow it whole just to be on the safe side. Considering that Devil Fruit tastes like shit, I have to say that the latter are ruthless people...
There are also people, such as Kalifa and Kaku of the original CP9, who cut and peel the bubble fruit and giraffe fruit with a knife before taking them.
According to Lane's research, normally, abilities are transferred only after the flesh of the Devil Fruit is damaged and biochemical reactions occur with primate life forms.
If the transmission mechanism of the fruit can be "cheated" in some way, the Devil Fruit's power can be transferred to inorganic substances.
For example, Spandam's Elephant Sword.
Of course, once a Devil Fruit is damaged or cut, the pulp will slowly rot like a normal fruit, and its abilities will be transferred after decay.
"A complete Devil Fruit will almost never rot. The secret lies in this layer of skin with spiral arabesque patterns. It is like a magical plastic wrap that can insulate..."
Ren was wearing a white coat, talking softly to himself, while deftly cutting off a small piece of orange peel that shook the surface of the fruit and making it into a glass specimen.
Then, his pupils began to zoom in and out, and his silver eyes scanned the orange peel like a microscope.
If you want to preserve a Devil Fruit for a long time, you should not damage the skin.
Otherwise, you will either eat part of the pulp in time and gain the ability, or at least 100 million Baileys will be wasted.
But Renn had just cut the Zhenzhen Fruit, and he wouldn't take the fruit directly.
This is because he is not afraid of the power of the Shock Fruit being transferred away. The "Eye of Deception" can directly see and lock the essence of the power of the Devil Fruit. If the power starts to transfer, he will use "Lock of the Sky" to intercept and restrain it. .
Moreover, as his research deepened, he was able to use other means to preserve damaged Devil Fruits.
On the right side of the ultra-clean workbench, there is a large glass bottle filled with light blue liquid.
There is a strawberry soaked in the glass bottle. Its outer peel is covered with "tangcao-like" spiral patterns. Half of it is bright red, and the other half has been peeled, revealing the white flesh.
This strawberry is a "superhuman sweet fruit" and serves as a control group.
Soon, Renn put on sterile gloves, took out the half-peeled strawberry from the glass bottle, and studied it intently.
"Extracting the cell fluid from the arabesque pattern on the skin of the devil fruit does have a similar preservation effect... Wow, the effect is amazing."
This light blue extract was named "Devil's Tears" by him.
After extracting part of the sample, he used his projection ability to duplicate several bottles.
This sweet fruit had half of its skin peeled off a few days before he attended the funeral, but it was soaked in a light blue liquid called "Devil's Tears" and showed no signs of decay.
Then, Renn took out a piece of steak stored at a constant temperature of 30 degrees.
The surface of the steak was also coated with "devil's tears", and after being stored for a week, it was still as fresh as when it was purchased.
There are also ordinary fruits and even a bowl of cooked rice, all of which remain in their freshly baked state.
"It's incredible. It's not limited to fruits, steaks, and cooked rice. There are no signs of deterioration or decay. According to the deduction and estimation of the magic eye, this effect can last for up to several decades."
Ren observed the steak, marveled, and muttered, "That is, in the op world, if it is on earth, with this, I can win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine."
Devil's tears, as long as they are applied or soaked on the surface, can keep meat, fruits, grains and most other organic matter fresh and not deteriorate as if "time is suspended", still at normal temperature.
Moreover, the substance itself is non-toxic and harmless, and can also be eaten.
Don’t worry, although it is extracted from the skin of Devil Fruit, it does not have any special smell and does not resemble stool.
In comparison, formalin and the like are simply weak.
However, although Devil's Tears are interesting and effective, they are too difficult to produce.
The raw materials need to be extracted from devil fruits, and it is not certain that they can be synthesized by other methods. Renn only uses his creation ability to copy them, so he can prepare so many at once.
Because it had nothing to do with the main purpose, Ren soon put aside the topic of "How to artificially produce and sell "Devil's Tears" on a large scale" and continued to decipher the essence of the Zhenzhen Fruit.
He continued to peel the orange with a knife, cutting half of the orange open to reveal the tender orange pulp inside. His silver-white eyes shot out a beam of light several feet long, scanning the internal structure inch by inch like an X-ray.
The scanning and analysis function of Magic Eye is so powerful that even polarizing microscopes, optical microscopes, electron microscopes, digital microscopes and all other types of microscopes combined cannot match it.
In addition, his projection ability can also create things from the void, so he can learn and research everything very quickly.
With the help of various equipment in the laboratory, the progress of the experiment to decipher the "Superman System: Shock Fruit" began to speed up.
Another thing is to refer to previous experience and some achievements.
After being busy for a long time, at noon, Master Renn sat down outside the laboratory door, holding a bacon sandwich in his hand. While eating, he flipped through a stack of information and made complaints.
"Dr. Vegapunk is really awesome. He applied biological fluids to the surface of inorganic materials, and then used a high-temperature furnace to stir and dilute the seafloor stone powder, which intensified the radiation effect of pyrobroin horny particles..."
What is going on with this trash assistant, M. Caesar Courant? Turbulence phenomena are very complex, so the data will not be processed? Let’s at least get a phenomenological model…”
"Jia Zhi is good. He has found a new way and thought of this rather cheap bloodline factor replication technology. Unfortunately, the theory is still..."
If I can see further than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants - Newton.
Renn recognized this sentence very much, although Lord Niu seemed to have said this sentence not out of humility, but to mock Hook...
These research materials come from the Don Quixote family. Caesar Curran secretly serves Tianyaksha. He once worked with Dr. Vegapunk.
In this world, information about "Devil Fruits" is very precious and even taboo. When Ren asked for these things, Brother Ming was a little reluctant.
Thanks to this information, his research on the Zhenzhen Fruit began to speed up.
Renn is not a reckless man, although he only received nine years of compulsory education when he was on earth.
But when he was in the main world, he also went to college for a period of time.
The most important thing is his girlfriend, Princess Kesha. She is not only a Valkyrie who can fight, she is also a top student at the Imperial Royal Academy, a perfect academic, with several doctorates in mathematics, physics and biology.
When they first got along, Kesha was more like a teacher than his girlfriend.
In addition to teaching him swordsmanship, she also tutored him at home, teaching him mathematics, runes, alchemy, supernatural biology, continental education, economics, aristocratic etiquette, social dancing, etc.
Although they are all technology trees of the main world, they have also greatly improved Ren's knowledge level.
In his mind, in the early days, he also regarded Kesha as a beautiful teacher, or more like a tutor.
Love, respect, and a little fear of her.
Therefore, on the night when he ate the forbidden fruit, he pushed Kesha down on the bed and pinned her down...ahem.
It was extra exciting, after all, he was sleeping with his beautiful teacher.
The princess's teachings played a huge role.
It is almost half of her contribution that Renne has the outstanding swordsmanship and physical skills now. It seems that the rest of her knowledge has also come in handy.
Looking back now, it was indeed a very far-sighted decision for Kesha to strongly request and urge him to read and study more...
After hastily finishing his lunch, Ren suppressed his longing for the princess and plunged into the laboratory to continue his research.
As for the pirate group, he left it all to Nana, Barrett and Ame no Shiru.
The other Yonko may not dare or be able to play this way, but he can.
Barrett is an old pirate with experience.
Nana is young, but her strength is comparable to Aokiji and Kizaru, enough to suppress everything. If she doesn't meet the other four emperors, there is no way she will lose.
She can handle even encounters with the Four Emperors.
Do you dare to say that bigmom can defeat Kizaru?
Therefore, Ren retreated directly and concentrated on research. Even three meals were delivered by the maid Stussy, or he took out dry food directly from the space door.
This retreat, according to his plan, will last for two months.
After he comes out of seclusion and everything is ready, he will invite "Eagle Eye" Mihawk to fight and use him as an experience package to advance to the double fifth level.
………
There was no movement from the Demon King.
But the sea showed no tendency to calm down.
On the contrary, as the Pirate Empress declared war on the Beast Pirates in the name of Emperor Amazon Lily in front of a group of reporters, the New World and even the entire Grand Line were boiling in the past few days.
The cloud of war enveloped the entire new world.
And it’s...a royal battle!
The last confrontation of this level was 25 years ago, when the legendary pirate "Golden Lion" vs. Roger was known in history as the "Battle of At Wall".
In this battle, the Roger Pirates, who were originally at the end of their rope, were saved by a sudden storm and miraculously came back to win.
Soon after, Roger arrived at Loughdrew, conquered the Grand Line, and was successfully crowned king.
The Golden Lion, like Napoleon after the Battle of Waterloo, quickly disappeared, and the glorious Sky Pirates became history.
Success and defeat, such a sharp contrast and the bloody reality, also serve as a warning to those who come after.
If there hadn't been the "Battle of Ait Wall", no one on the sea would doubt that the Golden Lion would at least be one of the emperors of the sea today, just like White Beard.
But now, he has almost disappeared, either dead or hiding somewhere and lingering.
The Pirate Empress's declaration of war against Kaido was almost as influential as the Golden Lion vs. Roger. You can imagine what kind of uproar it caused at sea.
Donghai, Rogge Town.
"She's finished. She dares to fight the strongest creature to the death. The Nine Snakes Pirates and Daughters Island will be destroyed in the hands of that crazy woman for hundreds of years!"
A drunken uncle held a newspaper with the title "Battle for Overlord, Empress vs. Kaido" and shook his head repeatedly.
"Haha, it's hard to say. What is the strongest creature? We have fought many fierce battles in the past. Except for that time eleven years ago, Kaido has never defeated the Empress?"
Another uncle retorted. He looked at the alluring face and hot figure of the empress in the newspaper, and smiled like a maniac.
Although it is impossible to kiss Fangze, it does not prevent him from supporting his "wife".
"That's right, maybe this time the empress will repeat Gol D. Roger's myth and get out of control, and Kaido will be the golden lion, and he will never recover..."
Grand Line, Chambord Islands.
"MD, not long after the war on top, another life-and-death battle broke out between the two emperors. Are you going to let people live?"
"Yeah, it's been a troubled time, and I feel like everything in this world is in chaos."
"Who do you think will win?"
"Hundred Beasts Kaido, after all, he is the strongest creature. I admit that the empress is very strong, but Kaido is even stronger and is recognized as the king of one-on-one combat."
"Challenge the king? You can knock him down. That was once upon a time. Kaido had the guts to challenge the King of Demons in a one-on-one fight. I guarantee that he will be the one who kneels down." Someone said disdainfully.
Everyone: "..."
Indeed, at least the man with the most glorious record on the sea at present is Francis D. Wren.
In the War on the Top, he impressed almost all the strong men in the world with his appalling performance. He was even named the world's strongest man by newspapers without causing any controversy.
Someone curled their lips: "But the empress is not a bloodthirsty swordsman."
Everyone: "..."
………
New world, Dressrosa.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
In the King's Heights, beside the circular swimming pool, Diamanti held a copy titled "The Showdown, the Nine Snakes Pirates vs. the Beasts Pirates!" 》 newspaper, cold sweat dripped from my forehead.
Others can watch the fun, but their Don Quixote family may not be able to stay out of it.
Because they colluded with the Beast Pirates... made deals, and secretly counted themselves as allies.
"Hey... don't get involved for now, just wait and see what happens."
Brother Ming was lying on the recliner with an evil smile on his face, but his mood was not as relaxed as he appeared. Under his sunglasses, his eyes were solemn.
Not so good, Don Quixote is actually secretly colluding with Nine Snakes.
Now that the two partners are at odds with each other, he is in an awkward situation.
Deep down in his heart, Brother Ming wished that the Empress and Kaido would fight each other, and it would be best to die together, but he was also afraid of being caught between the two and becoming pathetic cannon fodder and a punching bag.
Diamanti stretched out her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead and whispered:
"But, young master, Plague Quinn called us and asked us to support them. During the critical moment, he led his troops to stab Nine Snakes in the back..."
It can be seen that the Beast Pirates are not relaxed about the Empress' declaration of war.
At least, they are not sure of victory, otherwise they will not seek the support of the Don Quixote family. Usually, the people of the Beast Pirates don't look down on them.
"No, reject him." Brother Ming thought for a moment, and at the risk of offending Kaido, gritted his teeth and said, "When we first cooperated, did we make it clear that the Don Quixote family would not intervene in the struggle between the four emperors? , we can’t expose the transaction, the most we can do is...send some arms."
He really didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. If he was not careful, he would become cannon fodder.
"this……"
Diamanti nodded hesitantly, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Boya Sundasonia also called from the Nine Snakes side, asking for a war, and we look for opportunities to stab the beasts in the back... "
Tianyaksha: "..."
(￣?￣;)
Another request for a sneak attack and backstabbing of allies.
The Empress and Kaido, these two are really dogs, so insidious.
