Kizaru Was Still a Decent Man

"I'll handle it," Vegapunk said gravely. "The Seraphim shouldn't have emotions, yet they somehow developed them after being born. I can't understand it."

"Scientifically speaking, that's almost impossible."

"So even though the Seraphim possess immense combat power, neither the World Government nor I produced more of them. They harbor many secrets that even I, their creator, cannot confirm."

Lin Qi understood deeply.

If a household robot suddenly developed emotions, he could understand just how terrifying that would be.

It would already be merciful not to destroy it.

"Fortunately, although they developed emotions of their own, their fundamental programming remains. Unless the Five Elders personally issued the order to S-Snake, I can stop her."

The Authority Chip installed within the Seraphim determined the hierarchy of control authority, from highest to lowest:

Five Elders > Vegapunk and his satellites > Sentomaru > Authority Chip holders.

Those with higher authority could directly override the orders of those with lower authority.

If CP0 had used a chip to order S-Snake to kill everyone, Vegapunk could simply tell her to abandon that order and defect.

But the absurd part was that orders issued at the same level could not override each other and could only be carried out one by one.

"Huh? That's the doctor's voice. All
