Time flies, and the days slip by like an arrow.
This is because they are preparing to welcome the princesses of the Western Flower Kingdom and the Southern Taya Kingdom for a marriage alliance.
Wang Shi delayed his return to Alabasta with Vivi.
These two investiture ceremonies, along with various alliances and talks on cooperation and development among Affiliated Nation, were all part of the event.
Time flies, and the year is drawing to a close.
The Wang Shi could only spend a super lively New Year's celebration in the Goa Empire.
Time finally brought us to the year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar, a year of destiny.
At Germa's snail-shaped flagship research facility.
Wang Shi looked at the [Super Goa Human] embryos in each incubation chamber, which were a fusion of the bloodlines of Kaido's Oni Tribe and the Kuma's Buccaneer Tribe.
The resources required to cultivate [Super Goa Human] far exceed those for Germa, resulting in a limited increase in their numbers.
However, this kind of strategic human cloning emphasizes quality rather than quantity.
I've heard that Vegapunk's six clones are about to be 'born' as well.
This guy used a lot of shape memory alloy on his clone to enhance its defense and strength.
The Seraphim Project will only be fully implemented after Vegapunk's clones come out to share the workload.
However, under the instructions of the World Government, Egghead is already making preliminary preparations.
Because Hanafuzha and Crocodile, two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, were defeated, and the other Seven Warlords of the Sea were disobedient.
The Five Elders have already begun to consider finding replacements for the Shichibukai.
The improvement of Seraphim technology led them to want to clone a batch of Seraphim versions of the Shichibukai of the Shichibukai to replace the disobedient ones.
They planned to find an opportunity, under the guise of dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates, to gather the Seven Warlords of the Shichibukai and collect Shichibukai bloodlines.
Furthermore, Saint Saturn and Vegapunk are also searching for Paramecia Fruit users in Impel Down and around the world to prepare Paramecia Green Blood for the Seraphim.
In the original timeline, after being defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, Mr. Daz Bones was imprisoned in Impel Down, along with Senor Pink Pica of the Donquixote Family.
Vegapunk collected their blood, extracting the Green Blood powers of the Paramecia Dice-Dice Fruit and Swim-Swim Fruit, which were then used by S-Hawk and S-Shark.
That means that S-Shark only acquired this Paramecia ability at least two years later, after the Dressrosa incident.
The Seraphim, trained by Vegapunk, were created after the Paramount War using the bloodlines of the Shichibukai and the Lunarian race.
It took about two years to raise them to around eight years old before they officially left the incubation chamber, underwent laser modification and received Paramecia Green Blood implantation, and after a period of further training, they began to carry out missions for the World Government.
Judge's cloning technology produces adult Clone Soldier in batches every five years.
In fact, the time it took for Vegapunk and Judge to develop their clones was roughly the same.
Vegapunk spent about two years nurturing an 8-year-old Seraphim, Judge about five years directly creating an adult Clone Soldier.
However, the potential for growth of Seraphs is many times greater than that of Germaclone warriors.
Their initial strength at birth was probably the peak of the Vinsmoke siblings' lives.
The eight-year-old S-Bear was able to withstand a full range of attacks from CP0 commander Rob Lucci and Four Emperors Straw Hat Luffy without sustaining any damage.
That defensive capability is simply outrageous.
Wang Shi hoped that his [Super Goa Human] could rival the power of S-Bear.
The fusion of the Oni Tribe and Buccaneer Tribe bloodlines should be no less potent than the fusion of the Lunarian Tribe and Buccaneer Tribe bloodlines.
There's also the [Black Nika] project, a special embryo that combines Straw Hat Luffy's D bloodline with Kuma's Buccaneer bloodline.
Perhaps we can actually cultivate a Nika candidate.
Whether he can Awakening after eating the artificial Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika will depend on his own fate.
After all, Bonney seems to have also undergone modifications by Saint Saturn; her Age-Age Fruit ability allows her to create a female Nika form.
The power of the Age-Age Fruit seems to have no connection whatsoever with Nika's power, and it's even inferior to the artificial Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.
This ability, which I think I have all along, is a bug.
···
In a laboratory.
Wang Shi is currently on Den Den Mushi) call.
"Wang Shi, is that person with the Cut-Cut Devil Fruit User one of your men? Could you give me a sample of his blood?"
Dr. Vegapunk is already collecting blood from various Paramecia- type Devil Fruit users for Seraphim Project, extracting Paramecia Green Blood, and preparing reserves for various abilities.
"Dr. Vegapunk, has the World Government's Seraphim Project been prepared?"
"I know you can secretly grant Bonney the highest level of Pacifista privileges."
"I want to ask you for a favor. If you create Seraphim, I also want the highest level of authority hidden within the Seraphim, even higher than that of the Five Elders."
Wang Shi truly coveted the command of the Seraphim.
He knew that Vegapunk had the ability to hide the highest authority.
The ultimate authority of future Pacifista and third-generation Pacifista rests with Bonney; they can never harm Bonney.
That authority is even higher than that of the Five Elders.
"Impossible. Seraphim is one of the projects that the Five Elders value most. Even I don't have the same level of authority as the Five Elders."
Vegapunk rejected Wang Shi without hesitation. He figured that Saint Saturn would be keeping a close eye on him regarding the Seraphim Project and wouldn't give him a chance to operate it secretly.
"So you're just too honest. Your brain is very clever when it comes to invention and creation, but it's really stupid in some other ways."
"You were able to secretly grant Bonney top-level access, so why can't you just do the same thing again?"
"It's not a good thing that such a powerful weapon is in the hands of the Five Elders."
"If you hide the highest level of access, no one will find out."
"There is hope for this world only when technology is in the hands of civilized people."
"You've studied the Poneglyph, don't you know what kind of people those Celestial Dragons are?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't reveal this hidden access until the very last moment."
"If you set your own permissions, it's easy for Saint Saturn to detect, but if you set mine, no one will notice."
Wang Shi was deceiving Vegapunk, pretending to be acting in the name of world peace.
In fact, Vegapunk had considered making himself the highest authority among the Seraphim.
However, under Saint Saturn's meticulous surveillance, it is actually quite easy to detect.
As long as Saint Saturn and Vegapunk issue orders simultaneously, it's easy to know who has the highest authority.
Therefore, it was impossible for Vegapunk to secretly obtain the highest authority of the Seraphim under the noses of the Five Elders.
Once the Five Elders are confirmed as having the highest authority, Saint Saturn will definitely lock down the modification permissions.
But what if Vegapunk had initially made Wang Shi, an outsider who had almost no contact with the Seraphim and the Five Elders, the hidden supreme authority?
In this way, Saint Saturn had no idea and could not detect it.
"..."
Wang Shi's cunning scheme in the East Blue was heard by Vegapunk in the New World.
Isn't this just a waste of money?
"Heh~"
Vegapunk discovered that people can actually laugh when they are speechless.
He only asked about the blood of the Cut-Cut Devil Fruit User, and as a result, Wang Shi set his sights on the highest authority of the Seraphim had not yet appeared.
This gaping maw is even larger than that of Sea Kings.
Humans, at the very least, cannot be so shameless and greedy.
