Lineage Factor's Adaptability

This day, Mia and the other three arrived at Mosen's house as usual, but Mosen wasn't there.

"Strange, why isn't the Jailer out today? He should have been here by now," Mia muttered to herself.

"Could it be that you hit him too hard, Mia, and gave him psychological trauma?" said the One-armed Pirate, Ian.

"How could that be! I have a good sense of proportion."

"A good sense of proportion? After all these days, you've been hitting him, and he hasn't touched you once. Is that what you call a good sense of proportion? In this situation, let alone him, even I couldn't take it!" said the One-eyed Pirate, Michael.

"His Observation Haki has just awakened, and he can't use it skillfully yet, so there's no way he can touch me. If I let him hit me, wouldn't that be going easy on him?"

"You still shouldn't have."

Before Michael could finish speaking, the door to the small house opened. Mosen was wearing the uniform of an Impel Down Jailer, fully dressed and looking like he was about to go out.

"You're here! Sorry, I have to go upstairs today, so we won't spar for now," Mosen said to the four of them.

"So you're going out! I thought."

"You thought I was so traumatized by your beating that I wouldn't want to learn Observation Haki anymore?" Mosen asked with a smile.

Mia awkwardly scratched her head and said nothing.

"Don't worry! I'm not someone who gives up easily. I'm going upstairs because I'm running out of food."

"So soon? Didn't you get a cartload and a big bundle of food last time? Is it because you were going to share the food with us?" Paddy asked, surprised.

Mosen shook his head without further explanation.

Actually, the food was consumed quickly mainly because Mosen needed a large amount of food to replenish his energy, and then use Life Return to enhance his physical fitness and stamina with this energy, in order to further develop the Frozen Lineage Factor. The portion of meat he gave to the four of them was actually not much.

"Jailer, how long will you be gone?" Mia asked.

"It shouldn't take too long, maybe a few hours."

Hearing that Mosen would only be gone for a few hours, Mia breathed a sigh of relief. If Mosen were to leave for the whole day, wouldn't their barbecue today be ruined?

Mosen didn't notice Mia's little thought. He waved to the four of them and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll give you an extra piece of grilled meat when I get back." With that, Mosen turned and left.

Just like last time, Mosen left Extreme Cold Hell under the "watchful eyes" of the other prisoners.

Upon ascending from Extreme Cold Hell, Mosen immediately felt a wave of heat wash over him.

Mosen instinctively prepared to use his cold air to block the heatwave, but in the next second, he suddenly realized that the heat from Scorching Hell wasn't making him unable to breathe as it had last time, nor was his heart beating abnormally. In other words, Scorching Hell only made him feel uncomfortable psychologically; it didn't affect his physiological activities anymore.

Mosen was overjoyed. This indicated that the further development of the Frozen Lineage Factor over the past month had been very effective. Mosen didn't really feel the changes in his body. It was like someone looking in the mirror every day wouldn't notice any significant changes, but if they met a friend they hadn't seen in a long time, that friend would always point out where they had changed. As of now, Mosen's physical fitness had recovered to the level it was before participating in the Lineage Factor experiment. Those with strong Observation Haki could sense the changes in Mosen's body. Mia could sense Mosen's life aura growing stronger little by little when they sparred, but she didn't specifically mention it.

After the excitement, Mosen quickly calmed down. As before, he first reported the situation in Extreme Cold Hell over the past month to Magellan and then took some food, preparing to return. On the way, Mosen pondered the matter of Lineage Factor modification. When Mosen underwent the Lineage Factor modification, he had a total of 7 abilities: Invisibility, Lightning, Giant Strength, Flame, Ice, Flash, and Magma. Among the six groups, Invisibility, Lightning, Giant Strength, Flame, Ice, and Magma, Mosen was the only survivor. In the Flash group, all 7 people survived, but like Mosen, they didn't master any special abilities. After Mosen awakened his past life memories, he had some conjectures about Lineage Factor modification. First, Vegapunk and the others had their hearts mechanically modified. This mechanized heart contained the Lineage Factors created by Vegapunk. The Lineage Factors would be sent throughout the body with the beating of the mechanized heart. Once the Lineage Factors filled the entire body, they would begin to modify it. Those who could adapt to the Lineage Factor modification would gain corresponding abilities; otherwise, they would be assimilated by the Lineage Factors. The group that underwent Invisibility all disappeared from this world. The Lightning group all turned into charcoal. The Giant Strength group's bodies kept expanding and then exploded. The Flame group had a similar situation to the Lightning group. The Magma group was completely melted by the high temperature. These people were assimilated by the corresponding Lineage Factors. Mosen was able to avoid being assimilated by the Lineage Factor simply by using Life Return to restrict the Lineage Factor to the mechanized heart, preventing the Frozen Lineage Factor from spreading throughout his body. Later, in Extreme Cold Hell, the Frozen Lineage Factor gradually merged with Mosen's body due to the influence of the external environment, which successfully awakened the Frozen Lineage Factor, giving Mosen the abilities of the Ice-Ice Fruit. Combining his own situation with that of Queen and the Vinsmoke family in the original work, Mosen believes there are two ways to have someone undergo Lineage Factor modification and successfully awaken: First, modify the embryo with Lineage Factors when the mother is just pregnant. This way, the child born would be a perfect Lineage Factor-adapted modified human. The Vinsmoke siblings are an example of this. Second, like Queen, undergo extensive mechanical modification of the body to resist the erosion of Lineage Factors through mechanical parts. However, this kind of modification requires strong vitality. Without the support of strong vitality, one would die when their body tissues are replaced by mechanical parts. Moreover, after such a modification, it's questionable whether one can still be called human. Mosen doesn't like the idea of a weak body and mechanical ascension. Of course, there are more ways to use Lineage Factors than just Lineage Factor modification. Applications like artificial Devil Fruits and Giant experiments are also applications of Lineage Factors. Vegapunk is unaware that Mosen has awakened the Frozen Lineage Factor. In Vegapunk's view, this experiment was undoubtedly a failure, but Mosen remembers that Vegapunk didn't show any signs of disappointment at the time. This indicates that Vegapunk might have had other ideas when conducting the Lineage Factor modification, and perhaps that mechanized heart was also one of his experimental objectives. After discussing with the editor, I've made some minor adjustments to the setting of the key. You can re-read the third chapter.
