Vegapunk

Vidal hadn't expected to have another son, but it was even more unexpected that he would become Sengoku's disciple. However, it was still a pleasant surprise!

When such good fortune falls into his lap, of course he has to seize it and not let go, showing not a shred of modesty or humility.

He stood up abruptly, bowed to Sengoku, and said, "Please guide me from now on, Sengoku- sensei!"

In this way, the relationship was established.

Vidal was already certain in his heart that the greatest gain from this trip to the North Blue would be to become Sengoku's disciple!

Compared to this, treasure, Devil Fruit, and even Vegapunk are all insignificant.

That was the case, at least in the early to mid-game.

However, this makes things interesting: he was Sengoku's disciple, while Bullet is about to become Garp's disciple.

Wouldn't that put him in the same generation as his eldest son?

When the idea first came to him, Vidal was initially a little embarrassed, but upon reflection, it seemed that this world did not have such a concept of seniority.

So, he even started considering whether he should find a way to let Enel- chan follow Zephyr when he grew up.

Many people used to say that Enel's Devil Fruit ability was very strong, but his physical skills were too poor, and he couldn't even beat Luffy when he first started out.

Although Vidal felt that this statement was biased, Enel's own strength was so great that even Zoro at that time was amazed by it.

And no matter who it is, Luffy at that time would yield the same result, right?

However, regardless of the circumstances, if Enel could inherit Zephyr's physical skills and Haki, combined with the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

In the future, they will at least be a top-tier fighting force!

There was one thing that made him hesitate: he didn't really want Enel to join the Navy, and he had other ideas about Enel.

It seems I need to find a way to balance things out, one that allows Enel to get enough training in physical skills and Haki, without affecting my own plans.

Over the next three short days, Vidal deliberately tried to get closer to Rosinante, either taking him on a tour of the huge warship or holding him and telling him about his family.

She possesses excellent medical and culinary skills, a gentle mother Enid, and a mild yet resolute father named Cornell whose shadow was stolen by pirates.

Barrett, a cold and proud Bullet who was used as bait on the battlefield from a young age and experienced more than a decade of brutal warfare.

And Enel, whose parents were persecuted by the Skypieans, had to endure countless scornful looks and bullying while searching for food alone with a knife.

As Vidal sincerely introduced each member of the Forest family, a vivid image of each corresponding figure emerged in Rosinante's mind.

He especially empathized with Enel's experience of being bullied by the entire island. He could still recall those people with ferocious faces and emanating vicious resentment.

The images of the family being handcuffed to the wall that day, and of Doflamingo shooting their father, are still vivid in my mind.

Just as Rosinante was lost in painful memories and trembling all over, Vidal's warm hand pinched his cheek.

The boy gradually came to his senses and stared blankly up at that gentle smile.

"From Donquixote, discard the surname Don Quixote. Live on with the name Forrest, no matter how vast this sea may be, this will always be your home, waiting for your return!"

As he spoke, Vidal gently leaned his head against hers, forehead to forehead, eyes to eyes, and uttered his last words.

"Remember, I am behind you, Forrest Vidal!"

"Of course, there's also Teacher Sengoku, haha, you have some really strong backing, don't forget that!"

Vidal's loud laughter not only echoed across the warships under the blue sky, but also resonated in Rosinante's heart.

Inside the cabin, Sengoku, who was reclining in his office chair with his eyes closed, heard the faint laughter and a slight smile appeared on his lips. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.

Ovendo Island, the underground laboratory, is probably the most advanced and well-equipped technology laboratory in the entire North Blue, or even in the Four Blues.

Here you can see almost every piece of biotechnology equipment that a modern person can or cannot imagine.

Judge was confident that even the World Government's laboratories were no match for him!

"That's great! That's great!"

"With the Lineage Factor in hand, I can lead the Germa Kingdom to restore its ancestral glory and unify the North Blue!"

Vinsmoke Judge trembled with excitement as he looked at the four replicants locked side by side in nutrient pods.

These are all genetic clones of outstanding soldiers, modified with traits such as fearlessness of death, absolute obedience, never betrayal, and lack of emotion added to their bloodline.

That's right, just like a robot. That's the power of the Lineage Factor. Now that he can replicate four, he can replicate a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand in the future!

From now on, he will possess inexhaustible military power, and if research continues, he could theoretically create even better and more powerful warriors.

At that time, let alone the North Blue, he would dare to go and seek justice for his ancestors, even if it were the World Government!

What he didn't notice was that a thin researcher standing behind him, only about 1.7 meters tall and wearing a white coat, was looking at him with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Ignorant fool, modification and cloning are merely the most rudimentary applications of Lineage Factors. How could a mediocre person like you possibly grasp their true value?

I no longer need you. The Vinsmoke family's capacity is nothing more than this. If you want to continue to tap into the potential of the Lineage Factor, I need greater support!

Judging by the time, it should be almost time. The researcher lowered his head and thought to himself expressionlessly.

[Buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing--]

Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the huge underground laboratory, and the large screen on the wall instantly switched images.

The image above shows the situation in the sea off the island. A Marine warship, much larger than the ordinary warships on the North Blue side, is heading towards Ovendo Island where they are located.

"Judge, a large Marine Headquarters- class warship is approaching!"

"What!"

"How did the Navy find this place? And from the Marine Headquarters?!" Judge was completely dumbfounded.

This was a top-secret island that I searched for a long time to find; it wasn't marked on any nautical chart.

But now that the situation was urgent, he didn't have time to think further and quickly ordered, "Immediately have Yaduni organize a defense and tell him that he must hold out for at least half a day!"

"Yes, Judge!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted at the panicked researchers, "Everyone, calm down!"

"Quickly organize all the information about Lineage Factors, and evacuate with me in thirty minutes."

"Don't worry, once we return to the Germa Kingdom, even the Navy won't be able to break in. Let's get moving!"

Instantly, the entire underground laboratory descended into chaos, with everyone feeling as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

Because they are fully aware of how terrifying what they are researching is, does the World Government really allow so many people to know about it?

During the operation, many people glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at the thin man standing silently in place.

Vegapunk, the discoverer of the Lineage Factor Blueprint of Life!

At least this person should be safe.
