It doesn't really matter what Artificial Devil Fruit is. For Dimon, it doesn't matter.
"Thank you for your hard work. Keep up the hard work and we will find a way to mass-produce it later. Is that okay?"
"Hey... don't worry, just leave it to me."
Kaido agreed confidently.
Although the first artificial Zoan is only produced in the laboratory and is still far away from mass production.
But the most difficult step has been completed, and mass production is no longer a problem.
As the first scientist in history to successfully create Devil Fruit, Caesar can already imagine that his reputation will soon surpass Vegapunk!
Hey, hey... I am the world's number one in science, Vegapunk!
Caesar couldn't hold back the corner of his mouth and laughed out loud in delusion.
Dimon shook his head and did not disturb his sweet dream.
Taking the fruit and turning around to leave, he stopped by Queen's laboratory, only to find that there was no one there.
The researchers in the laboratory told him that Dr. Queen had gone out to collect materials.
"What's the source? I've only heard of comic book authors using this as an excuse to be lazy."
"This...Mr. Dimon, I'm not sure either."
"What has he been studying recently?"
Dimon looked around Queen's laboratory. There were some wonderful machines placed everywhere, and they looked full of firepower.
"Dr. Queen's research content is very complex. Recently, he is obsessed with human body modification, such as poison gas, plague, bombs, firearms, lasers..." the researcher answered honestly.
Sure enough, they are all weapons.
Dimon waved his hand and turned to look for Vegapunk.
Under the leadership of Stussy, he quickly arrived at the most important laboratory, where research on Pluton fuel was ongoing.
Inside several tanks more than ten meters high, you can see fuels of different colors being synthesized and tested.
Dimon walked closer and took a look, pointing at one of the cans.
"What is this?"
"Liquid electricity."
Vegapunk saw Dimon arriving and said with a smile, "It's very troublesome to explain, just understand it as liquid electricity.
Can electricity turn into liquid? Liquid battery, right?
Dimon looked into the tank in surprise, and could see electric light flashing in the fuel, and an arc would appear from time to time.
"It feels very dangerous, like it could explode at any time."
"It has been bombed several times before. Fortunately, I drank and was not killed." Vegapunk said with lingering fear.
"Can it be used as fuel for Pluton?"
"In the calculation, the energy it can provide is enough, but I tried, but still can't start Pluton."
Vegapunk scratched his long head and frowned:
"This is the biggest trouble I've ever been in!"
He has been a genius since his birth.
After eating Brain-Brain Fruit, he became unstoppable and had an unlimited capacity of his brain, making his scientific research progress rapidly.
Until he met Pluton, he tried all the imaginable liquids that could serve as fuels for his research on fuels. Until now, he has tried liquid electricity, but still couldn't solve the problem.
This "liquid battery" doesn't seem right either.
"So difficult?"
Dimon reminds Tom of Water 7.
Pluton Battleship was built by the shipbuilding craftsmen of Water 7 more than 800 years ago.
In order to prevent Pluton from being used by malicious people in the future, those shipbuilders preserved the design so that future people could re-build a ship to compete when encountering a crisis.
In this case, there should be fuel records on the design drawings, right?
It seems like I need to send someone to get the blueprints.
"If possible, I need more research funding. I recently had a good idea. If the energy of the sun is also turned into liquid and stored, it might be the right direction."
Vegapunk raised a finger and asked for funds.
Dimon shook his head, "Don't worry, wait until I find something."
Farewell Vegapunk, Dimon left the institute.
Stussy sent him outside the research institute and said with a chuckle:
"It would be difficult to support this research institute with Wano Country's financial resources, right?"
"Indeed, I have already set the taxes for ten years. If I continue to increase funds, I will have to collect them for a hundred years."
Dimon nodded, Wano Country's calves and horses owed him a large sum of money as soon as they were born.
The first word I learn may not be mother, but tax.
However, there is actually a lot of money left.
To be precise, there is still a lot of gold, and most of the gold recovered by Sky Island has not been leaked out.
"Go and prepare some information about the clones, and then sell them to Charlotte Linlin in batches. Remember to get more money back."
"Yes~"
Stussy covered his mouth and chuckled.
Farewell Stussy, Dimon returns to Flower Capital.
On the way, he tried to devour the artificial Zoan Devil Fruit.
The pitch-black Demon Power overflowed from the palm, covering the Artificial Devil Fruit in his hand.
It's like a devil's big mouth, tasting delicious food.
Then, he spit it out.
"Sure enough, it doesn't work. The artificial Zoan is just made from Lineage Factor extracted from animals. It is still different from the Devil Fruit that was born from people's wishes."
Dimon thought to himself that this was an expected result, not too unexpected.
He swallowed Devil Fruit, which is equivalent to swallowing people's wishes.
How can this be found in man-made Zoan Devil Fruit?
Pure is technology and hard work.
"Okay, you can sell it for money."
When it comes to selling money, Dimon immediately thinks of his younger brother, Doflamingo.
This guy went to pretend to be Holy Knights, and he doesn't know what the situation is now.
In the original history, at this point in time, Doflamingo should have established Donquixote Family in North Blue and became one of the gang bosses of North Blue, with influence throughout North Blue.
"It's better to change to someone else."
If Brother Ming can't do it, then look for Saki. It just so happens that this guy is now Shichibukai, which is perfect for this job.
Thinking of this, Dimon immediately sensed the coordinates of Crocodile, and the other party had his mark on him.
The next second, a magic circle was born under his feet.
Grand Line, the sea of Paradise in the first half.
As one of Shichibukai, World Government asked him to act as a force to restrain pirates near the entrance waters of Grand Line.
World Government will not interfere with what Crocodile is going to do specifically, it will just allow him to move around this area and try his best to suppress the increasing number of pirates.
Crocodile did not refuse.
He is happy to stay in the first half. For him as Logia, this is the real Paradise.
He is invincible!
Therefore, Crocodile chose a country as its base camp.
Lodestar Island, Alabasta Kingdom.
Dream City, Rainbase.
There is a luxurious casino in Rainbase, named Rain Banquet.
The underground of Rain Banquet is the headquarters of the intelligence organization Baroque Works.
In the office, Crocodile answers a call from his subordinates.
"A king's wedding?"
"Yes, boss! The wedding of King Cobra and Princess seems to be interested in inviting you to attend."
"Humph, not interested."
Crocodile is dismissive, but he is one of Shichibukai, the president of Baroque Works, and a member of the secret organization [New Era].
Going to a little king's wedding?
How ridiculous!
Cobra How can you get such a big reputation?
Active in this country as Shichibukai, he was regarded as a "hero" and deeply loved by the people.
Even the king has to give him face.
Instead of him giving face to the king!
"Interesting, Cobra is getting married?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Crocodile was shocked and turned around to see the face of Dimon.
"Brother... why are you here?"
