Wish Fruit

Honestly, Vegapunk was really glad that he had approached the Red Ribbon Army early enough.

Otherwise, if this group were to release Majin Buu in another year or two, the entire Earth would be in big trouble.

As the final boss in the canonical Dragon Ball series, Majin Buu is definitely a monster among monsters.

Leaving aside his combat power of hundreds of billions, just his Immortal Body, which surpasses the level of rebirth from a drop of blood, the material transformation magic released by the tentacles on his head, and the ability to absorb and increase combat power almost infinitely, would make Vegapunk absolutely dare not underestimate him.

To put it bluntly, even if someone with this ability is just an ordinary person, as long as they are determined, they can easily become the strongest in the universe—by constantly devouring other life forms, they can increase their combat power in a crazy way, and if they get tired of eating them, they can even turn these life forms into candy to change the taste.

It can be said that Majin Buu himself represents the most demonic path of all. Compared to his talent, techniques like the Star Absorption Art and the Northern Darkness Divine Art are utterly weak.

Although this demon looks to be only at the level of a Super Saiyan 3, if this guy is allowed to keep absorbing and growing stronger, who knows how powerful he could become.

Although Dr. Gero discovered the seal of Majin Buu and mistook it for Piccolo, fortunately, Majin Buu's seal is not like Piccolo's, which can be released simply by opening a rice cooker. Opening Majin Buu's seal requires absorbing a large amount of energy.

Even when Gohan poured all his energy into it, he still couldn't break Majin Buu's seal. Although Gohan at that time might not have been as strong as when he fought Cell as a child, Gohan's fighting awareness and physical instincts were only lagging behind; his ki didn't diminish.

In other words, to revive Majin Buu, the energy of at least a Cell- level powerhouse would be required. For Dr. Gero, who hasn't yet developed the Androids Eternal Energy Furnace, this is an enormous challenge.

"I don't know what you guys are thinking... but it's ridiculous that you're treating this thing like Piccolo!"

Reaching the giant dome, Vegapunk shook his head and looked at Dr. Gero with a strange expression.

"Let me tell you this: if the so-called Piccolo really breaks the seal, then your Cyborg, No. 12, would be more than capable of taking down that green-skinned guy in three minutes!"

"As for the seal you found before you... it contains a monster 10,000 times more terrifying than you can imagine!"

Dr. Gero didn't seem too surprised; he simply nodded.

"Ah... Actually, I've had my doubts about this for a long time. After all, the energy inside the seal is just too powerful. If it really is Piccolo, I really can't imagine what kind of person could seal it."

"Just from an energy perspective, the organisms inside the seal are enough to destroy the Earth thousands of times over. Although Piccolo is extremely powerful in legends, he can only destroy a city with a single blow."

"But in reality... it doesn't matter whether it's Piccolo or not. All that's needed to rule the world is immense power, not to ask where that power comes from."

"What do you think, Dr. Vegapunk?"

Faced with Dr. Gero's somewhat probing tone, Vegapunk simply shrugged:

"That makes a lot of sense, but it's also easy to die from an accident during the experiment... In the end, even your control over the Androids isn't that perfect, so how can you expect to control a magical being like Majin Buu?"

"Dr. Vegapunk means..."

Dr. Gero's expression was rather unpleasant. For a mad scientist, asking him to stop doing research was going too far.

"Of course, we should study it together! After all, when it comes to understanding this monster, I know far more than you do!"

Vegapunk continued with a serious expression, and Dr. Gero paused for a moment before breaking into a smile.

He now understood that Vegapunk, in a sense, was not exactly the same as himself, but was still of the same kind.

As for Vegapunk's claim that he knows more about Majin Buu, that is absolutely true— Vegapunk, who possesses knowledge of the entire universe, even knows every step in the creation of Majin Buu.

However, the appearance of Majin Buu was an accident, and even if Vegapunk knew about it, he would not be able to replicate it.

Furthermore, Majin Buu had devoured several Supreme Kai, thus becoming associated with Deity. Vegapunk couldn't even find its sealed location; otherwise, Vegapunk would have already unearthed it.

This is the perfect material for research on devouring... Although it's a bit difficult to get started, we can always collect it first!

"It seems we've reached a consensus on some points... I just wonder if Umbrella Corporation can accommodate a scientist like me? You know, I'm not a good person; my favorite thing is to use the technology I create to wreak havoc without restraint!"

Upon hearing Dr. Gero's words, Vegapunk chuckled and stretched out his hand, instantly opening a Black Hole in the void.

"Earth, our home base, still needs to maintain some order... However, the Cosmic Umbrella can absolutely meet any of your needs!"

If the Umbrella Corporation on Earth is considered to be in an order of neutrality, then the Umbrella Corporation in the universe is definitely in an order of evil. Although it is much better than the chaotic evil during Frieza's reign, it can still absolutely satisfy Dr. Gero's evil desires.

As for whether doing so is unjust... sorry, Vegapunk and those inhuman Aliens have no empathy whatsoever.

Besides, Vegeta even ate Aliens when he first appeared! But wasn't he redeemed in the end?

The Saiyan team worked under Frieza for so many years, Vegeta killed at least hundreds of millions of Aliens. Even so, Son Goku and the others didn't care. This shows that even Aliens in the Dragon Ball World, especially Aliens who don't look like humans, have no human rights.

When Dr. Gero, who had been looking on with doubt, truly understood Vegapunk's status in the universe, he immediately and sincerely joined Vegapunk's ranks. No matter how you look at it, the Red Ribbon Army could not compare to the Umbrella Corporation, which Cosmic Umbrella over most of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Even though Dr. Gero did value the Red Ribbon Army, to which he had devoted his heart and soul, since the entire Red Ribbon Army had been swallowed up by Umbrella Corporation, he had no choice but to join the group with his own investment.

As for the research on Majin Buu, there has been no progress—mainly because Vegapunk is unwilling to open the seal, and after seeing Vegapunk's calculations of Majin Buu's true energy, Dr. Gero also felt that they and others simply could not control such a monster at present, and planned to deal with it in a few years.

Now that he's in space, Dr. Gero is overwhelmed by all sorts of rare materials. And since Majin Buu is a magical creature, he's different from someone using technology. So, before that, he naturally hopes to make a breakthrough in the area he's most familiar with.

Speaking of which, this high-tech doctor who will create various Cyborg in the future has extremely high attainments in energy science, materials science, Artificial Intelligence, and biology.

Even Vegapunk wouldn't dare say he was superior to Vegapunk if it weren't for the Dragon Ball —if Dr. Gero created Cell partly because he obtained excellent materials like Saiyan, Frost Demon, Namekians, then Android 16, Android 17, and Android 18 were entirely manifestations of Dr. Gero's own talent.

In this context, Dr. Gero's access to more information and his research capabilities were of great help to Vegapunk.

The continent that was originally separated into Pocket Dimension in the Pirate World has now returned to the planet.

After acquiring a large amount of Dragon Ball World technology and resources, Vegapunk easily restored the Pirate Planet. The huge Pocket Dimension that was originally created was not wasted; after being cut open by Vegapunk, it was incorporated into the Chakra Network he invented.

This can be considered a new attempt. From then on, in addition to mental entry, the Chakra Network can also help others log into various small spaces. After the space is miniaturized, although more than half of the area is lost, it is much more stable.

People in the Pirate World call these small spaces "Mirage Islands" because Vegapunk often sends discarded experimental products to these small spaces. As a result, the ecology within each small space is completely different.

This is also the latest game world for adventurers in the Pirate World, where the danger level and rewards surpass even the treasure space of the New World.

At the very center of the Genjutsu network is Vegapunk's Dream Star. After several modifications, the interior of Vegapunk's Dream Star has now expanded into a vast space comparable to the Eurasia, capable of forming a self-sufficient planetary ecosystem.

In a rather luxurious-looking giant villa, Vegapunk from the Pirate World quietly looked at the center of the hall, where there were sophisticated instruments and a rather strange-looking fruit.

"Darling, is this the Devil Fruit you're making? How is this Devil Fruit different from ordinary Devil Fruit?"

Hancock snuggled up to Vegapunk, resting her head on his shoulder, and looked at the fruit in the very center with some curiosity.

"Not bad, this is the result of the past few years, the most perfect Paramecia Devil Fruit I've ever created..."

Vegapunk nodded. With the advancement of technology in recent years, especially after Vegapunk traveled to Laugh Tale and thoroughly understood the principles of Devil Fruit creation, he was now able to create all sorts of Devil Fruit.

Whether it's Zoan Devil Fruit or Logia Devil Fruit, creating them isn't difficult for Vegapunk. However, Paramecia Devil Fruit are not so easy to create.

It's not because Paramecia Devil Fruit are more complicated to create, but because Paramecia Devil Fruit effects are harder to control.

Genuine Devil Fruit are treasures formed from the crystallization of wishes and the condensation of planetary power. With Vegapunk's current abilities, planetary power and wish crystals are easy to collect. However, since they are called wish crystals, they naturally embody all the thoughts and wishes of humanity in the Pirate World.

This leads to a problem. Zoan and Logia are fine because they have specific targets in nature, and humans' understanding of them doesn't deviate too much. But when it comes to Paramecia, they are really Eight Gates. Apart from a general function, even Vegapunk himself couldn't imagine what kind of effect they would have.

Just like Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit can repel fatigue and injury, Hancock's Love-Love Fruit can petrify, the powers that Paramecia Fruits can extend often don't follow any logic at all.

You thought the Flower-Flower Fruit could only create flowers, but you never expected it could grow all sorts of limbs. You thought the Op-Op Fruit could only help you perform surgery, but it could actually be called the Space-Space Fruit.

This makes the abilities of many Paramecia Devil Fruit seem like a blind box. In reality, this is a result of different understandings of them among people in the Pirate World.

Of course, although it's not very stable, Paramecia do have many abilities that exceed Vegapunk's imagination, which is why Vegapunk is most interested in researching them.

"To think that you, my dear, would call this the most perfect Devil Fruit? That's truly unbelievable! Just what kind of effects does this Devil Fruit have?"

Hancock's face showed surprise. She knew Vegapunk's personality very well. For Vegapunk, who was always pursuing progress and development, the word "perfection" was almost impossible.

Because perfection itself represents stagnation, if a scientist calls his work perfect, it means that he is almost impossible to surpass the level of his current invention, and it can also mean that a scientist's research life has come to a complete end.

Vegapunk looked at the Devil Fruit in the center with a somewhat solemn expression and said:

"Paramecia Devil Fruit are always known for their unpredictable effects, and even I can't guarantee that this Devil Fruit's power will be 100% as I expect."

"This Devil Fruit is Paramecia Wish Fruit that I created by referencing the Dragon Balls from the Dragon Ball World, which can grant any wish!"

"In theory, as long as you eat this Devil Fruit and make a wish, then except for some fallacious wishes, or wishes that are too vague like world peace, almost any specific wish can be fulfilled!"

"In other words, this thing is equivalent to the Dragon Balls in our world!"
