Graduates of the Celestial Dragon Academy?
"My brain isn't working properly?"
Imu was speechless upon hearing this; only Vegapunk had the right to utter such a 'Versailles' statement.
But this situation of not having enough is something he should have encountered in the 'original work' as well, so how did he solve it?
Hmm... Could it be that he was originally meant to be a Brain-Brain Devil Fruit User?
Was it simply because of my appearance and interference that he became Devil Fruit User?
Thinking about this, Imu felt even more speechless.
Besides.
Since Vegapunk is already Devil Fruit User the Gluttony Fruit, why does he still want the Brain-Brain Fruit?
As someone who has studied Devil Fruit most deeply, it's impossible for him not to know that, apart from Teach, it's impossible for an ordinary person to possess two Devil Fruit abilities.
Did Vegapunk discover something based on Teach's Lineage Factor?
For example, could it be that he could also possess Teach's special physical constitution?
It's not impossible.
Imu fell into deep thought for a long time. Stussy, sitting across the table, was in no hurry. She just watched Imu quietly and waited. Gradually, her eyes also became unfocused.
In her eyes, Imu, in a state of deep thought, exuded masculine charm; both his physique and appearance were flawless.
This may be due to the advantage of her status.
But Imu's image does indeed give people a sense of déjà vu, like Cold Moon hanging high in the sky, or a god descending to earth.
Has Vegapunk explained how he intends to acquire a second Devil Fruit ability?
"Um?"
When Imu noticed that Stussy didn't reply immediately, he raised his golden, Ripple Eyes in confusion, only to find the other staring at him intently.
Listening to the other person's inner thoughts, wow, they're fantasizing about all sorts of wonderful things about themselves and him.
There's even a theory that he'll ignore Esdeath and Historia, love only her, and eventually have twins.
"Ahem, Stussy!"
Imu sighed awkwardly to himself; this woman's mentality was a bit... well, you know.
But she represents a red line in his desires. If he couldn't resist making a move on her, he would definitely lose control over women.
At that time, most of the women around him will not escape his clutches, not even the Ubuyashiki Sisters.
Therefore, he really didn't want to do anything to Stussy.
Even occasionally, I might admire the other person's appearance, figure, and temperament.
"Ah, Imu Im?"
"I am so sorry, please forgive my rudeness!"
Stussy snapped back to her senses and, realizing her predicament, immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. She was terrified that Imu would no longer need her because of this.
This was even harder for her to accept than being killed outright.
"Hmph, get up. Don't let this happen again."
Imu wasn't crazy, and he wouldn't make things too difficult for a woman who loved him so deeply, but he still maintained a cold attitude on the surface.
Has Vegapunk explained how he intends to acquire a second Devil Fruit ability?
He very abruptly steered the conversation back to the main topic.
Yes, yes.
Stussy dared not be distracted any longer and quickly replied while looking at the documents in his hand.
"According to the explanation submitted by Dean Vegapunk to the Propaganda Administration, after numerous experiments, he discovered that his Munch-Munch Fruit ability can be acquired by consuming another Devil Fruit User."
"So he plans to first give the Brain-Brain Fruit to a life form without self-awareness, and then swallow it to gain a second ability."
Upon hearing the details of the 'Theatrical Version: The Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura' from the depths of Imu's memory, they quickly flooded back into her mind.
"It's actually true!"
He suddenly remembered that this might be the reason why Teach led people to the Drum Kingdom in the 'original story'.
Think about it.
If Teach had successfully used the Dark-Dark Fruit to obtain Wapol's Munch-Munch Fruit power, and then acquired Newgate's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power during the Marineford War...
Then he has three Devil Fruit abilities!
"Alright, have someone deliver the Brain-Brain Fruit to Vegapunk."
Since Vegapunk has offered a feasible solution, Imu has no reason to refuse him.
"Yes!"
Stussy wrote down the order again, then picked up the next document and said...
"The next document concerns the internal renovation project of 'Island-Eating Lantern Fish,' a joint effort between the State Council's Medical Academy and the Propaganda Administration's Biochemical Research Institute."
"The report states that the modification plan will be officially completed in Empress, at which time the 'Island-Eating Lantern Fish' will be transferred to the Marine Headquarters for use."
Imu narrowed his eyes; he had indeed forgotten about that.
Previously, he had someone use the Pure Gold ring from Dr. Kureha's navel to lure this 'Island-Eating Lantern Fish' in the latter half of the Grand Line.
Then, with Kuzan's abilities, they successfully captured it and finally obtained all the Pure Gold on the Sea Star.
Because the 'Island-Eating Lantern Fish' itself has three stomachs that can hold islands, under its covert influence, Crocus of the Medical Academy took the lead in carrying out base-like modifications to its interior.
In this way, the navy would possess a super biological submarine.
Crocus had no reason to refuse, because he knew that if he did, Laboon would likely be transformed into a war machine.
Therefore, he has been very serious about this project over the past few years, and has not even returned to the Medical Academy in the Drum Kingdom many times.
"Name the 'Island-Eating Lantern Fish' Alchemi, and then send the Marine Headquarters to the East Blue to search for a 'Turtle' that has lived for a thousand years."
Imu drew a parallel between the 'esophageal Lantern Fish's and another 'theatrical version' featuring a giant turtle whose size was comparable to that of an island.
At the same time, I decided to use the 'Star Fate' function to scan the East Blue Sea area a few times later.
Speaking of which, he remembered that there was a similar thousand-year-old tortoise in the 'Shinobi World', and he could catch it to pair up with his own thousand-year-old tortoise.
"Yes, Imu!"
Stussy agreed and produced the last document; of course, various reports would be delivered later.
"Finally, there is a report from the headmaster of the Celestial Holy Palace Saint Joracol, who said that the first batch of Celestial Dragons students who have completed three years of study and successfully passed all the assessments will graduate on December 1st this year."
"Saint Joracol hopes that the World Government can issue specific arrangements for them."
"Celestial Dragons student?"
Imu paused for a moment, realizing he had almost forgotten about these 'lower-level' Celestial Dragons.
Suddenly, a strong sense of curiosity arose in his heart, wondering how different these Celestial Dragons, who had undergone three years of study and training, were from the Celestial Dragons of the past.
"Put this aside for now. Go and have them bring over the information of the trainees who successfully passed the assessment."
"Yes!"
Seeing that Imu had given no further instructions, Stussy quickly left the study in her high heels, while Imu immediately activated the Star Fate function of the Star Map.
He wanted to see the current situation of the Celestial Dragon Academy.
At the same time, he began to think about how to arrange things for these Celestial Dragons graduates. This was something he had to consider carefully, since they were Celestial Dragons after all.
Once released, it will definitely cause various repercussions, none of which will be minor.
Especially in terms of temperament.
In Imu's view, this is more important than ability to the Celestial Dragons!
"I hope you won't let me down."
