Black's Ability

Sirius Black?

The sounds echoing in the cabin paused slightly, then suddenly became cheerful. "So my name is Black? How wonderful! Am I Sirius's companion?"

"That's right."

Sirius smiled and nodded. "You are an important partner to me."

"That's right, they're partners!"

Yamato laughed heartily.

"But what about Sirius, the partner?" Black asked, very curiously.

"A partner?"

Sirius thought for a moment, then said seriously, "A partner is someone you rely on."

"Relying on each other? That feels great," he said.

"Of course! Companions are the most important thing in the world!" Yamato exclaimed. "Black is a companion we can rely on!"

"Is that so? I'm so happy! I feel so happy!"

The newborn Black's tone became joyful; if he had a body, he would certainly be showing a joyful expression by now.

Dr. Tsukimi is truly amazing.

Sirius was struck by a realization that, in just this short conversation, he had truly understood that, although Black was still quite naive and immature, he was no different from ordinary people in terms of both intelligence and emotions.

Dr. Tsukimi truly created a life form through science.

"Brother Sirius,"

While the other companions were Black with questions, Dr. Tsukimi pulled Sirius aside, opened his eyes, and said seriously, "I'm entrusting Black to you."

"Certainly,"

"Black is already my partner," Sirius.

"That child is different from the other children,"

The professor said, "I didn't put any restrictions on him; he will continue to grow through his learning."

"..."

Sirius slightly taken aback.

Were the other robots subject to special restrictions imposed by the doctor?

What is the purpose?

He suddenly remembered the government agents who had just stolen the robot. So, this was to deal with this kind of situation, right?

"Grow through learning?" Sirius raised an eyebrow.

Is this the kind of growth he perceives?

"Black possesses human emotions and far superior memory, comprehension, calculation, and thinking abilities," Dr. Tsukimi said earnestly. "With continuous learning, I honestly can't imagine how far he will grow."

"Young man Sirius, please be sure to guide him properly. He's just a baby who doesn't understand anything, and proper guidance is very important for him."

Sirius understood.

It's essentially Ultron without internet access.

If Black, who knows nothing, isn't properly guided, he might really go astray and develop in the direction of Ultron's Skynet.

Leave it to me.

Sirius laughed heartily.

This is by no means a difficult thing.

Artificial intelligence—that's the kind of artificial intelligence from the One Piece world, and it's just as full of regional characteristics.

"Well then, Doctor, it's time to say goodbye."

Sirius began to say goodbye.

The Sirius has been refitted, Black has been born, and CP0 is probably on its way. There's no reason for us to stay any longer.

"Wait a minute, there's another gift for Black."

The doctor said with a smile.

Soon, Sirius saw the gift the doctor had mentioned.

Those were books, piled up like small mountains, making the Sirius's cabins feel somewhat crowded, filling two rooms.

Consider it a parting gift from a father to his children.

The doctor said, "Black, you need to get along well with your friends."

"Kindness!"

Although Black didn't quite understand what separation meant, there was a natural sadness in his voice. "I understand, Doctor! I'll get along well with Sirius others."

Then, after sending the doctor back to the island, the Sirius submerged and set sail!

However, this time, the method of descent was somewhat special.

"Wow!! That's amazing Black!!"

Page One peered out the porthole of the bridge, "It actually started the ship by itself!!"

Without any human intervention, the Sirius submerged on its own, then turned and headed in a certain direction.

Black is in control of the ship.

He is not merely a sentient being; he is the ship's 'Ship Spirit'.

Black and the Sirius are one; the ship's control system is connected to him, and he can freely control the Sirius.

"This also means,"

Sirius patted Jack's leg regretfully; this was the best he could do. "Jack, you've lost your job."

Jack's good friend is the chief helmsman on the ship.

"Isn't that perfect?" Jack scoffed. "I'll have more time to cultivate."

"But no job means no pay," Sirius said.

Jack rolled his eyes.

When have you ever paid wages, you bastard? Don't we all just go to the treasure room and take it ourselves?

"Sirius, where are we going next?"

Black's voice rang out from inside the cabin.

The scene inside the cabin was quite interesting: robotic arms were rapidly flipping through books in front of cameras installed inside the cabin.

In no time at all, the robotic arm finished flipping through a book, then switched to another book and continued.

Black has already read about half of the books Dr. Tsukimi sent him, and he estimates he'll be able to finish them all in a few more hours.

Sirius couldn't help but marvel. No wonder Dr. Tsukimi imposed restrictions on the other robots. Even if Black couldn't immediately grasp all the knowledge—he still needed to understand it—the speed of his learning was simply outrageous.

Where are we going next?

Sirius thought for a moment.

Yeah, where should we go?

They were just drifting around wherever they pleased.

The day after Sirius and his group left, a ship docked off the coast of Tsukimi Island, causing an instant uproar throughout the island.

Because the ship was flying the flag of the World Government on its mast!

When several more naval warships arrived, any remaining doubts about whether they were imposters vanished.

It was indeed government officials who arrived.

What do they want to do on this island?

Led by two men in white robes and masks, government agents in black suits and naval soldiers in white sailor uniforms stormed onto the island and took immediate control of its facilities.

Then the two men in white robes arrived at Dr. Tsukimi's residence.

"Dr. Tsukimi, your collusion with the Sirius Pirates has been exposed."

The leader's voice was cold. "The people above are furious."

"The Sirius Pirates, is that you?"

The elderly, decrepit doctor looked utterly bewildered.

"There's no point in making excuses."

The man didn't listen to what the doctor was saying at all; he went straight to the point, "But considering your age and contributions, the higher-ups have decided to make an exception for you."

"From now on, the government will take over this island. Doctor, you are free to continue your research, but it must be under the government's supervision."

The doctor understood.

It turns out they didn't need evidence or facts at all.
