Artificial Nika Fruit?!

Just as the Dawn Pirates were quietly formed.

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Chamber of Power.

The Gorosei also identified a "prime suspect".

"Vegapunk".

"The Gorosei, the Science Defense Martial God, Lucy Saint Saturn," he said in a deep voice to the Den Den Mushi in front of him.

Have you been following what happened in the Sabaody Archipelago today?

Pluton Rayleigh, was executed.

In the eyes of the Gorosei, it was not a big deal.

After all, nearly twenty years before Pluton Rayleigh was executed, Pirate King Roger, had already been executed by the government and the Navy.

Therefore, the Gorosei did not pay much attention to Pluton Rayleigh's Execution Incident.

This is a minor matter; it can simply be left to the navy to handle.

Sengoku and Kizaru, two of the "World Government's top combatants," are jointly in charge of the Execution Incident of the elderly Pluton Rayleigh.

How could there be a problem?

The Gorosei entrusted the execution to the Navy with complete confidence, and didn't even pay attention to the live broadcast of the execution on Sabaody Archipelago.

As a result, they waited until the events in the Sabaody Archipelago were completely over.

The Gorosei only belatedly learned of the major events that had occurred on the Sabaody Archipelago from their subordinates.

Red-Haired suddenly appear!

The Crimson Dragon Descends!

The fifth Pirate Emperor of the New World, the Red Dragon Emperor, has been born!

Everything changed so quickly that even the Gorosei were caught off guard.

However, the Gorosei still managed to extract key elements from the intelligence messages that followed.

The matter of the Red-Haired Pirates was raised high but then downplayed by the Gorosei.

One way or another.

The Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates is Shanks.

But Shanks... is always special.

Even among the Gorosei, Shanks is a very special individual.

But the other one is different.

It looks like the White Dragon and uses the same abilities as the Azure Dragon...

Even though no "double Devil Fruit User" has ever been born on the high seas.

The Gorosei immediately placed their suspicions on White Dragon.

Following the "vine" of the White Dragon, the Gorosei directly reached the "melon" of Vegapunk.

Devil Fruit are unique and special.

It's impossible for two Devil Fruits are so similar to each other to appear on the high seas at the same time.

The Red Dragon Emperor's Devil Fruit ability subconsciously reminded the Gorosei of Beasts Kaido's [Azure Dragon Fruit], and then they thought of the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] that White Dragon had just taken from Vegapunk a few days ago.

A combination of key factors.

It's hard for the Gorosei not to suspect White Dragon!

For those in positions of power, specific evidence is not important; as long as there is "suspicion," that's enough.

With doubts in mind, Saint Saturn, urged by the other Gorosei, directly contacted Vegapunk.

Vegapunk's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

Sabaody Archipelago?

Vegapunk said with a helpless tone.

"Is it because of this again? Just now, A-He from the Navy also came to see me."

"Let me repeat what I told A-He again! That Devil Fruit of the Red Dragon Emperor— "

"Stop talking nonsense, Vegapunk."

Saint Saturn interrupted Vegapunk directly.

"Just state your final conclusion."

Vegapunk was taken aback by Saint Saturn's reaction, but he still answered seriously.

"... In my opinion, the Red Dragon Emperor's Devil Fruit ability is definitely not the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] that I created!"

"Why?"

Saint Saturn frowned. He had expected a positive answer from Vegapunk, but instead received a negative one.

"There's absolutely no way you could find Devil Fruit that's this similar—no, you could even say 'has the same ability'—on the high seas!"

"Because of color."

Vegapunk answered very seriously.

"The artificial Azure Dragon Fruit I created is pink, while the Red Dragon Emperor's Devil Fruit is red."

"..."

Saint Saturn's lips twitched slightly, and he hung up the Den Den Mushi immediately.

The other Gorosei all looked at Saint Saturn.

Saint Nusjuro extended his index finger and lightly tapped his own temple, asking without any mercy.

"Is there something wrong with Vegapunk's brain...?"

Because of "color", it is negated.

Saint Nusjuro even suspects whether Vegapunk has been wasting a lot of government resources all these years!

"Vegapunk is a 'brain man' who ate the [Paramecia Brain-Brain Fruit]."

"That's what Marcus Saint Mars said in a calm tone."

"Logically speaking, his brain capacity should be limitless..."

"Perhaps this is the reason why Vegapunk's perception became confused."

Marcus Saint Mars also believed that Vegapunk had lost his mind, but his words were not as direct as Saint Nusjuro's.

"If you ask me, there's absolutely no need to contact Vegapunk."

Topman Saint Warcury said impatiently.

"Since we all think there's something wrong with White Dragon, let's just attack White Dragon directly!"

"If the White Dragon is indeed the red dragon, then we can eliminate the danger in its infancy before its power grows too great."

"If the White Dragon isn't the Red Dragon, this guy has already challenged the government's authority time and again! It wouldn't make a difference to just get rid of him."

Times change.

When the Gorosei invited Storm to become Shichibukai, they were after his strength and wanted this crazy marine who loved fighting pirates to continue fighting pirates and stabilize the situation on the seas.

But now, what White Dragon is doing is getting increasingly outrageous.

Sand Crocodile, King of Lizards, Heavenly Yaksha...

The Shichibukai, who were supposed to be powerful figures, had three of them defeated by White Dragon single-handedly.

This does not include Snake Princess Hancock, who was severely injured by the "Red Dragon," Sea Knight Jinbe, in this so-called "First Summit War."

If you do the math, White Dragon —or Red Dragon—defeated five of the Shichibukai in total!

The Gorosei were unaware that Storm had already defeated Hawk Eyes Mihawk and had violently overwhelmed Thousand Shadow Moria.

If we were to actually calculate it...

Storm has defeated Shichibukai!

The Shichibukai had no understanding with each other; instead, they killed one another.

This has seriously affected the continued existence of the Shichibukai system!

The Gorosei had long disapproved of White Dragon's increasingly radical behavior.

Furthermore, White Dragon successively used Pluton Rayleigh Celestial Demon Doflamingo to blackmail the World Government.

And then there's this whole thing that suddenly came up today...

After much deliberation, the Gorosei decided to take action against the White Dragon!

As for issues affecting the integrity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system...

This is precisely what the Gorosei are least worried about.

Pirates, you know.

Like weeds.

Harvest one batch regularly, and many more will grow the following year.

The World Government has been established for eight hundred years, and there has never been a moment when it truly solved the problem of "pirate rebirth".

White Dragon cannot become Shichibukai.

There are plenty of pirates for the Gorosei to choose from.

And if the White Dragon really is the red dragon...

Even the Gorosei wouldn't want to see that happen.

Because that means more than just that the White Dragon's power has expanded to a terrifying level.

This also means that the Gorosei and the World Government have been completely fooled by White Dragon...

"Contacting Vegapunk isn't just about the 'White Dragon' or the 'Red Dragon'."

Saint Saturn frowned and explained seriously.

"Even more so because of that [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit]."

"If the Devil Fruit power possessed by the Red Dragon Emperor is truly the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit], do you understand what that means?"

"Satan."

Shepard X. Saint Peter looked at Saint Saturn with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Even if it's a real [Azure Dragon Fruit], there's no need to make such a fuss, is there?"

"It's not just the [Azure Dragon Fruit]."

Saint Saturn shook his head and emphasized.

"If Vegapunk could really replicate the power of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit..."

"We can not only create a second or a third [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit]."

"We can also create other artificial Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit."

"That could even include that Devil Fruit... you know."

"That [Zoan Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Model]!"

The Gorosei are well aware of who the World Government's number one enemy is.

Shichibukai?

Pirate Emperor?

That's just a minor scabies.

Almost every era produces some very special and powerful pirates.

The World Government ruled the ocean for eight hundred years.

What kind of pirates haven't the Gorosei seen?

This era.

The only difference is that Roger arrived at the Laugh Tale — Raftel.

But Roger has been dead for almost twenty years now.

Although the situation at sea is indeed more dire than in previous years.

However, it did not truly shake the foundations of the World Government.

The World Government's greatest concern has always been just one person.

Sun God Nika!

The Gorosei all know that a few years ago, the [Nika Fruit], which they had specially renamed the [Rubber Fruit], was forcibly stolen by Shanks.

The Gorosei initially thought Red-Haired wanted to eat the [Nika Fruit].

Unexpectedly, Red-Haired not only failed to eat the Rubber Fruit, but also lost an arm in the East Blue...

Even the Gorosei didn't know what had happened.

However, since that incident...

The [Rubber Fruit] never appeared in the world again.

The Gorosei have not yet seen this generation's "Rubber Boy".

But.

For the Gorosei, who have lived for so long, time is the least important thing.

Furthermore...

"Rubber Boys" have appeared before over the past few centuries.

But no "Rubber Boy" has ever been able to match the skill level of [JOY BOY] from eight hundred years ago!

However, the World Government still attaches great importance to the [Rubber Fruit].

According to Saint Saturn...

If Vegapunk could truly replicate the power of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

So once they capture the "Rubber Boy" of this era, they can directly replicate his [Rubber Fruit], or rather, [Nika Fruit].

Leveraging the power of technology.

The World Government can only create one, not two [Nika Fruit]...

It's millions upon millions!

At that time.

The World Government can mass-produce so-called "Nika" simply by bestowing those [artificial Nika Fruit] upon loyal subordinates!

Even if Joey Boy really was "reincarnated".

The opponent is a Sun God.

We have countless Sun God.

The advantage is in my hands!

Saint Saturn's words immediately piqued the great interest of the other Gorosei.

At this moment, they even abandoned their attention to the White Dragon, whom they had just been very concerned about.

How can White Dragon be compared to Nika?

At the urging of the Gorosei, Saint Saturn contacted Vegapunk once again.

As Science Defense Martial God, Saint Saturn's scientific research level is also quite high.

Under Saint Saturn's persistent questioning, Vegapunk finally admitted that he could indeed replicate the power of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

But.

This kind of "replication" requires the Lineage Factor of the original Devil Fruit User!

Previously, the Navy and the government captured Beasts Kaido and extracted a large amount of his Lineage Factor.

It is precisely because of the existence of those Lineage Factor.

Only Vegapunk was able to research and create the [Artificial Pink Dragon Fruit].

However, Beasts Kaido's Lineage Factor were stored beforehand.

After nearly twenty years of depletion, very little remains.

"If you want to create another [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit]..."

"I can only say this helplessly, "Vegapunk said.

"Then send Beasts Kaido's Lineage Factor to Punk Hazard."

Saint Saturn hung up the Den Den Mushi once again.

He didn't discuss the [Nika Fruit] with Vegapunk.

The existence of the [Nika Fruit] has always been top secret information of the World Government.

Even Vegapunk was not allowed to know about the existence of the [Nika Fruit].

"Beasts Kaido? Heh..."

Saint Nusjuro sneered.

"Just a long snake occupying Wano Country..."

"Let's continue to wait for the birth of this generation of 'Rubber Boys'!"

The Gorosei learned that Vegapunk could replicate the power of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

But all they care about is the [Nika Fruit].

The rest of the Devil Fruit.

Even the Mythical Zoan, which is considered even rarer than the Logia.

It's not worth the Gorosei's time and effort to pay attention to.

Rubber Boy was born at some unknown time.

A silence fell over those in Chamber of Power.

It wasn't until Saint Warcury brought up the topic that the conversation truly began.

"Where is the White Dragon?"

The Gorosei began to discuss the matter animatedly, but their opinions gradually converged.

"Send someone to resolve this!"

"That annoying brat!"

"Didn't he previously want to trade Celestial Demon Doflamingo, with the government?"

"Let's take advantage of this transaction to send someone to capture the White Dragon directly!"

"Don't underestimate the White Dragon's strength."

"If we measure the 'White Dragon' by the strength level of that so-called 'Red Dragon Emperor'..."

"Then send two more people!"

"Or we could use another strategy."

"Anyway, he's just an ordinary Devil Fruit User."

At dawn, 19,000 words have been written.

I'm asking for monthly votes at the end of the month!

--

I just took a look.

The accumulated monthly votes have exceeded 2000, so two more chapters are needed.

The cumulative recommendations have exceeded 10,000, so one more chapter is needed.

So there are still 3 updates owed.

Pay it back as soon as possible.

Goodnight everyone.
