The Organization Is Established

Impel Down, Hunger Hell.

It was time for the monthly routine inspection again.

In the cell where Wang Gao had previously been held, the emaciated "Wang Gao" stood there like a walking corpse, quietly submitting to the jailers' inspection.

Two weeks earlier, Shiryu of the Rain had once again massacred prisoners, forcing Magellan to report the matter to Columbus. Shiryu of the Rain had now been punished and sent to guard the main gate on the first floor aboveground.

The fourth floor, Scorching Hell, which Shiryu of the Rain had originally overseen, could now only be managed by Magellan as well.

Hannibal, who was in charge of the third floor, Hunger Hell, had no mind for work either. He had discovered that the Warden position he had long coveted might be taken by Magellan, so naturally he was in no mood to work.

Hannibal would normally come personally for the monthly inspection, but today, the routine inspection was handled by Mad Beast James Cook, the deputy chief jailer of the third floor.

After approaching "Wang Gao," he directly lashed him with a whip. "Hula hula! Not dead!"

Suddenly, "Wang Gao" moved like a crocodile lurking beneath the water and launched a deadly attack on Cook. Being far too arrogant, Cook had never noticed that "Wang Gao" would suddenly rise up.

Puchi!

Sharp fangs viciously pierced Cook's carotid artery, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Ahhh! Bastard..." Cook raised his hand in a frenzy, his fists raining down on "Wang Gao's" back.

But "Wang Gao," ready to die, continued biting down on the man's neck, as if determined to bite Cook to death.

Only then did the other six or seven jailers snap out of their daze.

"Bastard! Let go!"

"Hack him to death!"

The flustered jailers slashed wildly at "Wang Gao." In an instant, "Wang Gao" was struck more than a dozen times before finally collapsing dead.

With one hand covering his blood-soaked neck, Cook snatched a blade with the other and frenziedly hacked "Wang Gao's" corpse six or seven times.

However, he seemed to have used too much force, causing blood to spurt even faster from the wound in his neck. Cook's face grew increasingly pale.

"Lord Cook, stop the bleeding!" a jailer beside him hurriedly urged.

Feeling a wave of dizziness, Cook nearly lost his footing. "Hula... Take me to the infirmary!"

After another bout of chaos, Cook was escorted to the infirmary by the jailers, who also reported the sudden situation to Chief Jailer Hannibal.

After having his wound bandaged in the infirmary, Cook returned to his quarters to rest. Neither he nor the infirmary doctor noticed that a seed had entered Inside Body through the wound.

After returning to his quarters, his body began to feel sluggish and drowsy. Cook did not think much of it, assuming it was a side effect of the anti-inflammatory medicine, and lay down on his bed to sleep soundly.

Just then.

The seed rapidly took root and sprouted. Countless fine threads grew throughout his body, wrapping him tightly until he resembled a cocoon.

Vast numbers of vines grew from the cracks between the room's wall bricks, then connected to the cocoon.

Wang Gao, remotely controlling everything, silently watched Cook through the vines. He murmured inwardly:

Brain Illusion.

Memory Guidance.

About eight hours passed, but within Cook's brain, his twenty-six years of life were carefully and rapidly reviewed from beginning to end.

Wang Gao had chosen this man because he was naturally solitary and irritable. His relatives had also died at the hands of pirates, and he had neither married nor had children.

Cook was not a Devil Fruit user, and his abilities were fairly ordinary. Although he knew Rokushiki and a little swordsmanship, he was not particularly strong. As a deputy chief jailer, he was mainly responsible for miscellaneous work.

If he had been a Taijutsu expert capable of using Life Return, Wang Gao's parasitic seed would not have entered so easily.

Through Brain Illusion and Memory Guidance, Wang Gao used an Artificial Brain to copy all of Cook's memories before proceeding to the next step.

Brain Formatting!

In an instant, every memory, emotion, and personality in Cook's brain was completely erased.

Personality Import!

Memory Import!

A brand-new James Cook was born. This was the terror of biotechnology. Even without a Paramecia Memory Fruit, Wang Gao could still manipulate a person's memories and personality.

Memories were nothing more than chemical changes within brain cells, brainwaves, hormones, nerve endings, neurons, and the like.

Wang Gao possessed Quantum Computing and Atomic-level Observation Haki. Coupled with his experience in creating artificial humans, his understanding of the human brain was among the very best in this world.

After turning James Cook into one of his own, Wang Gao had placed a piece on the board within Impel Down. Combined with his secret control over Level 5.5 and his comprehensive surveillance, this would make his next plan much more convenient.

At the same time.

Within the Camel Island Base.

Wang Gao was considering something: establishing an organization. After all, he was no longer alone.

Under his command were the three artificial humans Lucifer, Samael, and Leviathan, as well as three secret bases. As for other personnel, there were Ultraman, Cook, and Charlie, the ability user of the Kitchenware-Kitchenware Fruit.

As for the remaining Devil Fruit user prisoners, they had not passed Wang Gao's review. He had no favorable impression whatsoever of those utterly vicious pirate prisoners. It was a matter of position.

From the very beginning, the pirate Wang Gao of the past had died. The current him was a completely new person.

Even though he hated the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, that did not mean he considered himself a pirate. It was a matter of position.

As a man of science, Wang Gao loathed Brownian motion. He wanted to understand everything, to use physics and mathematics to encompass all things. Naturally, he despised the chaotic state of disorder.

At the dining table, Wang Gao picked up a slice of White Orchid Heartwood with his chopsticks. It was a specialty of Camel Island, an ingredient extracted from the new branches of white orchid trees. Its texture resembled white asparagus, with a slightly sweet taste and a faint orchid fragrance.

Charlie, standing nearby, served the dishes with great respect. Having gone from initial terror and unease, he had gradually adapted by now.

Looking at the mysterious man before him, Charlie actually greatly admired him. After all, this man had pulled him out of the heavily guarded Impel Down without Impel Down even noticing.

At the same time, Charlie also held Wang Gao in considerable awe.

The main reason was that he had been granted the "Gourmet Armored Suit." This grant had greatly increased his strength, but it also meant that Charlie's life was now completely in Wang Gao's hands.

Wang Gao gently picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, then asked casually, "Charlie, what do you think our organization should be called?"

"Uh... Lord Wang Gao, I don't really understand this sort of thing," Charlie replied awkwardly.

Wang Gao was silent for a long while before suddenly revealing a hint of a smile. "Then let's call it the Human Innovation Alliance! Human Reform League for short."

Human Innovation Alliance? Charlie involuntarily swallowed against his dry throat. There seemed to be something off about that name! But he did not dare point it out.

"We also need to establish our own principles." As Wang Gao spoke, he unfolded the Bio-Computer and began writing and drawing on it.

A day later.

Wang Gao convened a virtual meeting and announced the establishment of the Human Innovation Alliance, as well as the Human Reform League's principles, to its current six members.

At the end, Wang Gao raised an arm and shouted, "From today onward, we shall devote our lives to humanity's greatest cause: eradicate all evil, injustice, and corruption, and create an age of justice, fairness, and progress! Let us strive together!"

"Yes!" Lucifer, Samael, and Leviathan answered without hesitation.

"Count me in." Ultraman Kane did not hesitate either, because he and his family had no way back.

"Fine." Charlie nodded helplessly as well. Having boarded this pirate ship, he might as well see it through. He had already been forced into piracy before; with so many debts, one more hardly mattered.
