The True Value of the Magma-Magma Fruit!

Holy Land.

Mary Geoise.

Imu didn't play tennis.

Instead, he was alone in a treehouse Moon Chamber, earnestly writing something down in a notebook.

He would occasionally show a look of reminiscence or contemplation.

"By embedding Seastone into the hull of naval warships, Sea King will perceive the warships as part of the sea, greatly reducing the chances of them being detected by Sea King in the Calm Belt. This technology shouldn't be too difficult; it should be researchable with just a mention of it. We'll also need to add paddle wheels, propellers, and steam propulsion."

As I recalled these thoughts, I wrote them down on a piece of white paper.

He certainly didn't understand the technical details, so he just wrote down the general idea.

Because he intends to give the navy's scientific and technological development a gentle push.

The main decision is to reveal the Star Gate to the Five Elders in the near future.

That would likely involve contact with other civilizations, which inevitably created a sense of tension.

Vegapunk researched these things within a few years of the beginning of the original storyline.

But that's more than twenty years from now for the current World Government.

Imu can't wait that long.

He felt that some things did require long-term research and experimentation, but others could actually be developed quickly.

Modern Marine warship do not have Seastone installed on their hulls, nor are they steam-powered, nor do they have paddle wheels or propellers.

Therefore, it is difficult to navigate in Calm Belt, and the speed is also much slower.

In my memory, it only took Momonga a little over Four Heavens days to bring Empress Hancock from Amazon Lily to Impel Down, but now it would take at least a week.

"Semi-mechanized animals—that technology was already developed in the Future Kingdom a long time ago. After so many years, it must be quite mature now. The only thing we need to think about is how to utilize this technology."

"And there's also artificial biotechnology utilizing Lineage Factor." Imu looked at the relevant data on the Science Unit handed over by the Five Elders and chuckled, "Oh—just starting research?"

This should be the advanced technology of cloning in the Germa Kingdom.

In reality, whether it's Vinsmoke Judge, Queen of the Beasts Pirates, or the future Caesar, their bio-technology is just something Vegapunk has already mastered.

However, they have also come up with some new tricks, such as genetic modification during the embryonic stage, giving babies superhuman physical abilities and superpowers.

Although there is a lack in their emotional lives, it seems to Sanji and Reiju that it's just a matter of chance. The most important thing is that neither of them can disobey Judge's orders.

"Isn't this the best potential CIPHER POL trainee? If he can master this technique, we won't need to find any more orphans to train in the future."

Thinking of this, Imu's eyes flickered, and he became interested in the Germa Kingdom of the North Blue Vinsmoke Family.

"At this point in time, the eldest daughter Reiju should have just been born, or still be in her mother's womb. Three years later, Ichiji, Niji, Sanji, and Yonji will be born on the same day as quadruplets."

"Let's leave them be for now and wait for the four brothers to appear before we go after them!"

The biggest obstacle for the Germa Kingdom is that it is Affiliated Nation, and even one of the fifty eligible seats to participate in the Reverie.

Therefore, Vinsmoke Judge cannot be arrested arbitrarily, but all the research data, experimental equipment, and related researchers he produced can be confiscated, Reiju and the others can be taken away as contraband.

Because, apart from Science Unit, research on Lineage Factor is an activity explicitly prohibited by the World Government, doing so is reasonable and legal.

If he wants to continue his research, he has only one option: join the Science Unit —oh, now the Academy of Sciences.

"But given this guy's ambition, it's unlikely he'll join the Academy of Sciences and become a proper scientist," Imu chuckled.

In his eyes, Vinsmoke Judge was now just a hen laying eggs; once the eggs were laid, he would take them away and lock the hen up.

He then turned his attention to Queen.

"The Plague Round aren't a big deal, but the Mummy Virus and the Ice Oni Virus are interesting. They're quite similar to Caesar's future Shinokuni. If we have the chance to capture him, we can throw him into the Biochemical Research Institute. If that doesn't work, we can send the ideas to Caesar, and he should be able to figure it out."

Imu discovered that the biochemical weapons in this world seemed to be the type that infiltrated the body from the outside, whereas in his memory, poison gas and Scourge did not start from within the body.

Of course, he didn't really understand either; perhaps he had also been infected with a virus on his skin in a previous life.

"And this guy's human modification technology, if used properly, could restore mobility to countless disabled people. It seems we need to find a way to 'invite' him back; it's such a waste for him to work for Kaido!"

While taking notes, Imu was internally complaining.

"However, the human Gigantification experiments at Punk Hazard need to be stopped. What's the use of this stuff? If you want Titans soldiers, you might as well capture a few Giants, have them have children, and then train them."

The main issue is that he finds it hard to accept using natural human children for biochemical experiments. Although he's not a good person and values the power and influence he holds, he still has basic principles.

Unless a situation arises that seriously threatens one's rule, the bottom line must be upheld.

This child is the bottom line.

As for Vinsmoke and Ichiji, in his view they were more like advanced clone-modified warriors and could not be lumped together with natural humans.

"Ah, speaking of which, we need to find a way to deal with that Giant Kingdom of Elbaf. Not only are they blocking the entrance to the High-Speed Air Route, but they've also consistently refused to cooperate with the World Government, even showing some hostility. They're just stubborn as hell!"

Thinking of this, Imu's eyes turned cold.

To be honest, as a time traveler, he really didn't care about the grudges and conflicts from hundreds of years ago. As long as they were willing to cooperate and listen to him from now on, he was willing to accept their continued existence and even take better care of them.

That's Fish-Man Island.

But if things really don't work out, he certainly can't leave such a huge time bomb behind his own territory.

After the Star Gate is opened, there will inevitably be conflicts and wars with civilizations from all worlds, and he doesn't want to be betrayed by these Titans.

"Either we find a time to eliminate them, or we support a new Titans King who leans towards the World Government!"

At this moment Imu realized that his thoughts had wandered off-topic. Today, he needed to think about science and technology, so he immediately put the matter of the Giants back into his mind.

"We must grasp Vegapunk's man. Let me think. His life's goal was to enable the people of the Future Kingdom Baldimore to live in a warm environment. To this end, he even created a super-large heating furnace, but he was forced to stop due to a lack of funds and technology."

"Could I provide funding to support him in further improving this heating stove? He should be able to figure out the technical aspects himself."

In fact, Imu thinks that to warm up Baldimore on Winter Island, it's not necessary to rely on technology; Devil Fruit abilities can do the job too.

For example, send Kizaru to awaken his Awakening, dispel the snow and clouds on the island, and turn it into an Island of Eternal Day and is never short of light. Then send Akainu to create an active volcano so that Baldimore has enough geothermal heat, which would also solve the island's ice and cold problems.

"Speaking of which, the true value of Awakening the Magma-Magma Fruit lies not in combat, but in its ability to artificially create perpetually active volcanoes and geothermal energy. I remember this thing can generate electricity!"

Imu's eyes lit up, but he didn't realize that his thoughts had gone off-topic again.

A huge thank you to reader Kunwu for the 100 Qidian Coin reward! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!

Good grief, the last chapter just said it would be available for purchase in Empress, and the number of favorites has already started to drop. Isn't that a bit too realistic and cold-hearted?

I'm a little sad.
