Awakening from a Deep Sleep

The legendary Ancient Weapon "Uranus" appeared before their eyes, filling all the scientists with enthusiasm and making them eager to touch it with their own hands.

"What a perfect creation!" he exclaimed, his gaze burning with admiration.

However, they seized the opportunity and quickly began to analyze it. As a technological creation, it was naturally detachable, and they needed to find its "flaws" and disassemble it.

If that's not possible, the only option is to destroy it by force and obtain the remains for our own research.

From the outside, it's surprising to see that Teach doesn't exist, because Teach distorts the light, making him invisible and creating an cloaking effect.

He didn't know if the World Government would pay attention to Uranus's information; the probability was probably low. Uranus was controlled by Im, and even the Gorosei might not know what Uranus looked like.

However, just in case, Teach still concealed himself.

With his immense strength and understanding of the Twist Fruit, Teach knew how to develop this Devil Fruit even before eating Devil Fruit.

The analysis will take a lot of time. Although we are somewhat unfamiliar with Uranus, we can deduce how Uranus works and what its internal structure is based on the technology on the Sky Island.

Teach waited quietly, sensing the power within his body, and used this free time to develop and master the power of distortion.

After three full days, Otto finally sent word. They were invigorated and even drank an energy potion to ensure their performance.

However, they will definitely need to rest afterward, since these are all precious treasures of the Night Pirates.

"My Lord, after our research, we found that the most important part of the Uranus is its energy structure at the back. It can absorb sunlight and various other forms of energy. It is a perfect energy conversion device and can store a sufficient amount of energy."

Otto held a blueprint in his hand and said earnestly.

"What's most important to us is basically the energy structure and its surroundings, which contain a lot of technology. The weapon structure is relatively less important; we can do that too—that is, devices that convert energy into lethality."

This is similar to Pluton's weapon system, but Uranus requires more energy to operate, so its power is naturally greater. The Night Pirates have also consumed most of Pluton Blueprints.

"The key point is at this location; it can be split in two from here. Since we don't know the internal structure, we need to use brute force to separate it."

Otto breathed a sigh of excitement as the projector displayed the blueprints and the locations Otto had marked out in front of Teach, making it clear to Teach where to begin.

The material of the Uranus is special, with an extremely high external density, which renders his Observation Haki ineffective, making it impossible to see through the Uranus's outer shell to observe its internal structure.

"We don't need to worry about the weapons and equipment in front; we can just destroy them. If we have other plans, we can have other forces do it."

Otto also knew that if Uranus encountered problems, the World Government would likely notice. Losing some resources wouldn't matter, but if it went off track, it would naturally send an alarm to Uranus's controller.

After all, the Uranus's movement around the Red Line was definitely set by the World Government.

Teach could take a portion of it away and store it in the Darkness Space, in another dimension, while the heart remained isolated, so the World Government would naturally be unaware.

Moreover, part of it still remains in its original position.

As long as they create a device to block signals, there will be no problem at all.

Finally, without the energy source, the Uranus will have no energy supply, and its energy will gradually disappear. Even if some energy remains, its power will be greatly reduced, although it will still be extremely terrifying.

However, it only has the power for one strike. After it's used up, the Uranus is completely destroyed unless it's given energy.

At this point, Teach did not intend to completely destroy Uranus; the part they wanted to take was actually one-third of the entire Uranus.

He planned to have others destroy the remaining two-thirds, thus inciting conflict with the World Government.

When Teach had this idea, the first image that popped into his mind was Golden Lion Shiki.

There's no way around it. Whether it's the Flying Pirates' next big move or their threat to the Dark Flying Pirates Night Pirates, the Flying Pirates will become the Night Pirates' target.

If the Flying Pirates obtain Uranus, Teach is not worried, because the Flying Pirates do not have the technological strength to research anything about Uranus.

Based on Shiki's thinking, he must have regarded Uranus as a powerful weapon against the World Government, like a powerful cannon.

Teach didn't know what impact his taking a portion of Uranus would have on the World Government's control over Uranus, or whether it would become uncontrollable. However, Teach didn't care about these things.

The World Government will definitely clash with the Flying Pirates, and it might even be very intense. The Flying Pirates, having obtained Uranus, have become much stronger, but Teach still doesn't believe that the Flying Pirates will be a match for the World Government.

However, regardless of the Flying Pirates' ultimate fate, they will inflict even greater damage on the World Government.

With the Uranus's exposure, all factions will mobilize to fight for Uranus, and the final Uranus will be destroyed, reduced to wreckage.

Teach had anticipated this situation. Of course, he also wanted to prevent the World Government and the Navy from obtaining Uranus's remains and from using their powerful scientific research capabilities to develop something extraordinary.

Before Teach's eyes, it seemed as if he could already see the future, and the World Government, having lost its Uranus, would also lose its greatest reliance and its greatest deterrent, losing the bargaining chip to truly control the world.

Furthermore, they may lose all their strength due to the Flying Pirates.

He will destroy the Uranus, but it will be in the future.

Teach had already begun his operation, moving to the back of the Uranus and memorizing the position Otto had marked for him.

Teach's hands had transformed into sharp, demonic claws, covered in Armament Haki, and he thrust them powerfully towards the boundary line in front of him.

With terrifying power, Teach's claws pierced directly, extending further using the power of the Twist Fruit.

The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit erupted, completely covering and devouring the parts they needed. The only problem to solve was to separate Uranus's energy structure from his weapon components.

A twisting force erupted, spreading along the entire cut surface. As the cracks widened, dark energy continued to penetrate them.

The Uranus was completely split apart, and a huge crack was visible to the naked eye at the point where Teach had acted.

And as Teach used his power, the cracks continued to widen.

Once a certain point is reached, Teach will move to a different position to avoid causing too much damage, as Uranus has many connecting parts inside.

Otto and his companions were also able to take the opportunity to observe the internal situation of Uranus. Uranus is a weapon; in addition to its immense power, it can even manipulate celestial phenomena through special means, which is the origin of the name "Uranus".

In fact, besides the energy device, this is the technology that the Night Pirates most want to acquire.

Having never witnessed how Uranus operates, even if they knew Uranus functions, they couldn't figure out how it worked, and could only place their hopes on the moon.

After much effort, Teach finally managed to separate the massive Uranus, severing all the connecting parts with a single Teach stroke.

Because of the residual energy, Uranus's surface also has the function of absorbing solar energy. Due to Teach's violent cutting, some functions are unusable, but it is still running.

The current Uranus, though equipped with weapons, lacks energy and is essentially useless; whether it can even reach the ground is questionable.

A large part of the Uranus was missing, and it was taken into the Darkness Space by Teach.

The Uranus, who was "split" by Teach, clearly has a problem, but so what?

Who would have thought it was the Night Pirates?

To prevent any problems from occurring inside Uranus, Teach simply burned the exposed wiring with flames, blackening it. At the same time, he grabbed a meteorite of suitable size and filled it into the exposed part behind Uranus.

That's it. He's now decided to hand Uranus over to the Flying Pirates, but figuring out how to let Shiki know about Uranus's existence still requires careful planning.

Teach already had a solution for this. The Flying Pirates had been searching for the Ancient Weapon all these years and hadn't given up. So, they could just create someone who knew the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapon and tell them.

To avoid being exposed, he could only send a stranger, which was not a problem for him at all.

Teach has obtained the Memory-Memory Fruit and has already fed it to others, enough to alter their memories. Infiltration of World Government agents has also begun.

The Memory-Memory Fruit, Lafitte's powerful hypnotic abilities, combined with Teach's Twist Fruit's ability to distort the mind, are enough to turn one person into another.

Just have someone tell Shiki when the time comes. Knowing Uranus's whereabouts, Shiki will definitely go looking for him. As for that person, just make sure he's dead and can't prove anything, then blame it on the World Government. They won't be able to trace it back to the Night Pirates.

Teach disappeared into the desolate space, returning to the blue planet, where he prepared to have the scientists at the underground base study this part of "Uranus".

After all, the Night Pirates' two most important research bases are the underground research technology on Saint Louis Island and the base on the Sky Island, which mainly researches medicines, especially the "Super Gene Potion," and has developed a 2.0 version.

After all, humans have their limits, while Super Gene Potion can elevate a person's life level, increasing their potential and granting them over two hundred years of lifespan, equivalent to half the lifespan of a giant, since Giant race can live up to about four hundred and fifty years.

IQ plants are of great help in the research of Super Gene Potion, and can even give people special abilities, like Lineage Factor. Therefore, Teach is eager to obtain Weil, who grows a large number of IQ plants, and plots against the Flying Pirates for this purpose.

Meanwhile, the Night Pirates are also researching the Life Blueprint, also known as Lineage Factor, since Otto obtained a portion of the Life Blueprint from his father and used them to develop life machines.

Combining the wisdom of many of the world's top scientists with the help of a supercomputer, also known as the artificial intelligence "Shar," the research is progressing very well.

With a partial structure of "Uranus" in hand, these scientists will soon be busy, not only with Life Blueprint but also with studying the technologies contained within Uranus.

Even Pluton could be created if Teach wanted to, but Teach was unwilling to do so. Instead, he used Pluton's technology to modify the Queen Anne's Revenge, as a complete build would be too costly.

Moreover, the Queen Anne's Revenge is their companion, the flagship of the Night Pirates.

Inside a small hill on Saint Louis Island, a huge underground space has been discovered, with walls supported by steel.

The space is so vast that it could easily accommodate the entire Uranus. After discovering Uranus, the Night Pirates built this enormous space specifically for researching Uranus.

A wide variety of sophisticated equipment is clearly visible.

A large number of scientists are ready and waiting for Teach's return.

They didn't have to wait long before Teach arrived at the base and released some of the Uranus from the Darkness Space.

For the next period of time, Teach will stay here because the first step is to disassemble this part of the Uranus, in case something goes wrong and it suddenly explodes.

Given its enormous size and highly precise structure, completely disassembling the Uranus would be a massive undertaking.

If it explodes, the Night Pirates will suffer heavy losses, especially a large number of their personnel. Therefore, Teach needs to keep an eye on Uranus until it is completely dismantled.

His ability to Future Sight and identify problems in advance also serves as a form of training for his skills.

During the time that Teach brought back some of the Uranus.

In the Flower Room deep within the Pangu City Holy Land Mary Geoise, the headquarters of the World Government, the mastermind behind the Void Throne, the leader of the Celestial Dragons, and the mastermind behind the World Government, Zhong Su from his slumber. He frowned, a shadow looming over him, as if something bad had happened.

Although one may possess eternal life, too much time will inevitably wear things down; less time for reflection will diminish wisdom.

If you don't move for too long, your body will rust and your bodily instincts will be worn down.

If a person doesn't fight for a long time, they may lose their fighting spirit and forget how to fight.

Given the long passage of time and the absence of any enemies, a long period of slumber is needed to slow down this process.

Of course, this has little impact. At his level, there are few people he can consider as rivals, after all, he is the ruler of the world.

After a long absence, he stood up, stretched his limbs slightly, and left the Flower Room. His figure quickly appeared before the Void Throne of Pangu City. He sat on the empty Void Throne, with the weapons of the twenty kings who founded the World Government planted on either side.

In the shadows, a hand rests on the sword at the waist, looking down at the empty space below.

"Come see me right now!"

A calm yet cold voice rang out, echoing continuously until it reached the ears of the Gorosei in the World Government Building.

The five men's expressions suddenly changed, and shock flashed in their eyes.

"Why did that sir wake up so early?"

The period of slumber used to be much longer.

"I don't know. Let's go back quickly; we can't keep that person waiting too long."
