"About four hundred years ago..." Dragon suddenly fell into reminiscence, "This seems to coincide with the time when Devil Fruit appeared. According to the information we have been able to gather, Devil Fruit seemed to suddenly emerge from the sea about four hundred years ago, and there are no records of them before that."
"That's right," Bai Sui agreed. "Look at Ōtsutsuki Meishiki's written here. Back then, in order to reduce the proportion of Shibai Otsutsuki cells in the God Tree, he also injected a large number of life samples from this planet into it. This is probably the origin of those Zoan Devil Fruit. After all, Zoan- Zoan are obviously very different from Paramecia and Logia fruits."
Ryu nodded in agreement. "That is indeed a possibility. Although there are some exceptions among Zoan Devil Fruits, it is certainly possible. After all, now that I think about it, there really are corresponding prototypes of those Zoan Devil Fruit on this planet. It's just that their power is often enhanced and exaggerated. Perhaps that's the effect of the Shibai Otsutsuki cells."
As for any further information, there is none. It is unknown whether the experimental log was destroyed or simply not recorded. In any case, the information that can be obtained from the experimental log ends here. Although they did not directly find the Ōtsutsuki Meishiki, nor did they find the exact whereabouts of the God Tree.
However, this single laboratory has already brought great benefits to everyone. The experimental data is very useful for their research on the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Furthermore, Dragon has offered to provide some Devil Fruit for their research.
In that case, the Ninja World Research Institute should be able to research something. Actually, Dragon has some information he hasn't revealed. As far as he knows, Vegapunk, the top scientist on the World Government's side, once tried to research Artificial Devil Fruit. Although he claimed it was a failure, the Revolutionary Army learned through their intelligence channels that it was actually a success, just not as perfect as Vegapunk had envisioned.
Not only that, but there's also Kaido and Donquixote Doflamingo. The SMILE Fruit they secretly developed and manufactured is a low-end imitation fruit, and it's said that it can only imitate Zoan Devil Fruit. In this way, Dragon has actually confirmed everyone's previous guesses in another way.
He didn't want to say it directly right now, after all, they were not one entity, but two completely different entities. They might be able to share information to some extent, but they would also have to retain a certain degree of autonomy. Although in terms of strength, their side might not be qualified at all, since the Ninja World had given them such an opportunity, he had to seize it to be worthy of his current position.
As Bai Sui walked out of the laboratory, he looked back at the building again. "The previous log mentioned that the Ōtsutsuki Meishiki's vehicle actually landed on the roof of his laboratory. That huge hole was actually to facilitate the takeoff of his vehicle. However, we haven't found his vehicle on this planet, and we don't know where it is now or whether it's damaged."
!
The dragon seemed to have thought of something, and muttered to itself, " Uranus?"
Everyone present was sharp-eyed and perceptive. "What Uranus? Do you know anything about him?"
Dragon shook his head. "No, I don't know. It's just that there's always been a legend on this planet. The legend says that there are Three Ancient Weapons named after gods on this planet: Uranus, Poseidon, and King of the Underworld. It is said that each of these three Ancient Weapon has the power to destroy the world."
Wu scratched his chin. "A legend?"
"No, it's not just a legend. I don't know what the other two are, but at least I know what King of the Underworld is," Dragon shook his head and then nodded. "Legend has it that King of the Underworld is a super battleship built by Water 7. Its power is enough to destroy an island with a single shot. It is a truly terrifying weapon. It is said that the blueprints for building King of the Underworld have been preserved. The World Government's high-ranking officials have tried to find it many times. Both King of the Underworld and its blueprints have been targets of the World Government's search. They once expressed their desire to obtain King of the Underworld to end the era of great pirates, but they have never found it."
"So, you thought of the Uranus because of this? That makes sense. The Uranus Uranus, as the name suggests, must be related to the heavens. If it really is the mount of this Ōtsutsuki Meishiki, then it makes sense. But I wonder what the Poseidon is. Could it be the God Tree that fell into the sea?" Reto's thoughts also began to wander.
This statement immediately caught Madara Uchiha's attention. After all, he had been very attentive when reading those logs, clearly showing his interest in this so-called authority. If he could find the God Tree that created the authority, he would naturally be even more interested.
Bai Sui shook his head. After all, he knew better than anyone else. This Poseidon wasn't some God Tree; it was just a Merpeople princess who could communicate with Sea King. "Let's not worry about the Poseidon. If it were truly God Tree, it wouldn't be so easily controlled. We should focus on what's at hand. Let's thoroughly understand this research data first, and then see if we can use Devil Fruit to reverse-engineer and trace it. If we succeed, we can find the God Tree."
Dragon, however, had a different opinion. "Senior, it's like this. According to the intelligence we've obtained, the Uranus is very likely in the hands of the World Government. Of course, this is just our speculation; we don't actually have any concrete information."
Bai Sui wasn't really sure about this. After all, as mentioned before, Bai Sui hadn't watched much One Piece in her previous life; she mostly watched fan-made content and famous scenes, like the Paramount War. But neither of these two types of content definitively stated what Uranus was. So, Bai Sui simply nodded to indicate that she understood Dragon's guess.
As for whether to take direct action against the World Government based on this suspicion, that's up to the Ninja World to decide. After all, he had previously stated that this interaction and contact with the One Piece world was entirely up to them to decide.
Although Dragon was somewhat disappointed by Bai Sui and the others' attitude, he was mostly relieved. After all, if they were to violate the previously agreed-upon principles and directly attack the World Government because of the possibility of Uranus, would they be attacked in the future for some other reason? As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he had to consider this.
boom!
A burst of Kakkō caught Bai Sui and the others' attention. Because they had been guided by divine sense along the way, they were the first group to complete their exploration. Apart from two moons that had not yet seen any battles due to years of neglect, the battles on the other three moons were still ongoing.
That makes sense. The Ōtsutsuki Meishiki, after all, a high-ranking member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and his knowledge and skills were certainly not simple. Although many of his defensive measures had become ineffective due to the passage of time, on the other hand, the fact that they could withstand such a long period of time without failing clearly indicates that they were meticulously planned killing moves.
As expected, with everyone's eyesight, it was easy to see that one of the moons, which had a satellite, was falling towards the moon, perhaps due to triggering some kind of trap. It was going to crash directly onto the moon. Putting aside the fate of those powerful Otsutsuki- level beings, at the very least, the research facilities on that moon would likely be destroyed.
There's no need to worry too much. After all, the Ōtsutsuki Clan is best at manipulating gravity and repulsion. The people in that team immediately used their Dōjutsu to control the satellite. Although it was a bit difficult, under everyone's watchful eyes, the satellite was eventually pushed away, and with the help of several people, it was repositioned back into its original orbit.
However, Ōtsutsuki Meishiki might have foreseen that this move could be countered. Not long after those people pushed the satellite back into orbit, they saw the satellite explode. There must have been some kind of hidden technique or trap inside, and the power of the explosion was considerable.
Even so, neither Bai Sui nor Madara Uchiha showed any intention of going to help. After all, this was just a training exercise, and these newly promoted Otsutsuki had no chance to fight against the Ōtsutsuki Clan. So, they were actually a bit arrogant.
Taking this opportunity to deflate their arrogance is a good thing. Besides, they have after all reached the Otsutsuki level, and they are not so easy to kill. After all, their lives have undergone a leap, and they are no longer mortals.
Seeing that no one around him said anything, Long wanted to speak, but in the end he held back. It wasn't until the battles on the other three moons were over that Bai Sui nodded to Madara Uchiha and led everyone to the moon where the satellite had been destroyed.
Accompanying them was the support team that had been observing from the sidelines, apparently there to provide post-battle relief. Bai Sui gestured for them to continue with their own tasks and not to pay any attention to them. Bai Sui and the others then leisurely Earth Flow to the area directly below where the satellite had exploded.
The debris is most abundant at this moment. Through observation, it can be seen that this satellite has obviously been modified. The interior of the entire rocky satellite has been replaced with a metal structure. Although a lot of metal was vaporized and flew away due to the previous explosion, people can still make out its general shape.
It's highly likely that this satellite was hollowed out by Ōtsutsuki Meishiki, who then built a mechanical core inside it. This core appears to be Chakra- driven, as there are still some Chakra residues at the scene.
After collecting and storing the Chakra for analysis at the Research Institute, Bai Sui signaled for everyone to move away, as he was about to restore the satellite.
After all, none of the people present knew how much the absence of a satellite would affect the moon's operation, or whether it would cause changes in the One Piece world.
Bai Sui activated his deluxe version of the Rinnegan, using only the most basic gravity manipulation to try to piece the fragments together. However, due to the previous explosion, many parts of the satellite were missing. So, Bai Sui used gravity manipulation to select a meteorite of suitable size, deflected its movement, and it eventually landed in front of Bai Sui.
Using this meteorite as its core, the remaining fragments were bound together by gravity. Bai Sui was extremely skilled at manipulating gravity, and with the aid of the Rinnegan, it was as if an invisible hand was kneading and flattening the already exploded satellite, ultimately forming it into a ball and putting it back into orbit.
The dragon below initially tried to avoid the satellite debris flying up from the ground, but later discovered that these debris were all being controlled by Bai Sui to avoid the group. So he started chatting with Wu Tao beside him. "Can even beings at the Otsutsuki level do this?"
Wu glanced at Madara Uchiha beside him, and seeing that the other party didn't react, he said to Long, "That's not entirely true. Only those who have truly become Otsutsuki powerhouses can do Bai Sui when they have sufficient Chakra. If someone has only reached the Otsutsuki level in terms of combat power, they might not be able to do it. After all, everyone has their own expertise. Their control over gravity is not as good as that of the Otsutsuki. For example, Reto and I have only reached this level in terms of combat power, but we haven't reached the same level in terms of life level and energy accumulation, so we can't do it."
Dragon noticed the action that Mu had taken when he looked at Madara Uchiha earlier. In addition, Mu only mentioned himself and Reto, which suggests that Madara Uchiha must be the person who could do it. Combined with Nawaki Senju's respectful attitude towards Madara Uchiha earlier, this led Dragon to a guess.
So, is it possible that only Bai Sui, Madara Uchiha, and those two people whose names contain "Otsutsuki" are truly at the Otsutsuki level? And the others just reached that level in terms of combat strength?
Although he thought this way, Dragon didn't show it. After all, even though he hadn't observed their battle up close, just based on their previous performance, whether it was pushing the fallen satellite back into place or anything else, even if they only possessed combat power, they were not people that the One Piece world could easily provoke.
