Successful Deprivation

Go and fetch Luo.

Caesar's disappointment did not affect Ye Chen; he simply experimented with one of the many conjectures in his mind.

"Alright!" Not knowing Ye Chen's plans, Caesar could only follow orders.

"Bring in another person with superpowers and another ordinary person, cut their wrists apart, and connect them."

Everyone followed Ye Chen's orders, but they still failed.

Next, one unbelievable method after another was tried, but all that came down to failure.

"Bss."

Not long after, Luo arrived at the laboratory.

"Go in and swap all their internal organs."

Ye Chen pointed to the experiment inside the glass and glanced at Luo.

"Okay!" Without hesitation, Luo left and appeared in the research room. He then used his ability to replace the internal organs of both the ability users and ordinary people, but the result was still a failure.

"Boss, my abilities have recently improved, and I think I might be able to undergo Mind Surgery!"

Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought, Luo, who was in the research room, suddenly looked up in Ye Chen's direction and said something.

"Mind Surgery?"

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, Mind Surgery, similar to temporarily swapping two people's thoughts, but not their souls. After a certain period of time, they will return to normal."

Luo nodded. He had only recently mastered this ability; it could only transfer a person's thoughts, that is, temporarily allow their soul to enter another person's body, but there was a time limit.

Perhaps once Luo's abilities improve, it's not impossible that he could even permanently implant one person's soul into another's body.

"Give it a try!"

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Luo began the experiment. When everything was over, Ye Chen saw hope, because after the two exchanged their minds, they could not only use each other's abilities, but also move around.

It's like having a different body.

However, this state can only last for one minute.

But in that one minute, Ye Chen, Caesar, and all the scientists saw the end of the world.

"Boss, this is incredible. Soul swapping is equivalent to Devil Fruit swapping. I have an idea: Devil Fruit don't just affect Lineage Factor; the soul must also be affected."

Shouting excitedly, Caesar leaned against the glass wall, his eyes gleaming with unparalleled light.

"However, the time frame is too short; it's not permanent, it's just a shortcut, and it can't be sustained. Its flaws are too great!"

Ye Chen pondered. At first glance, it was very impressive, but upon calming down and thinking carefully, he would find many flaws.

"Continue to test one last possibility: bring in an ability user, some ordinary fruit, and a three-dimensional box made of Seastone, completely sealed with a black cloth, and then kill the ability user."

This was the last idea Ye Chen could recall, and also the one most likely to succeed, because most of the beasts in the group agreed with it.

"Yes!"

Silently waiting, they first injected the ability user with a deadly poison, then locked him in a completely sealed three-dimensional box Seastone. Finally, a huge black cloth covered the three-dimensional box, leaving no gaps.

"BS, this is my latest toxin. It can easily kill a Sea Kings. It should take effect in about a minute."

Looking at the black cloth in the laboratory, Caesar began to show off his inventions.

Turning his head, Ye Chen glanced at Caesar, then looked back at the laboratory.

"Boss, will you succeed?" At this moment, Luo came to Ye Chen's side, looking somewhat expectant.

"We'll know in a minute." Ye Chen was also a little uneasy. If this experiment failed, he would have no choice but to hand it over to Caesar for further study.

Finally, to ensure success, Ye Chen and the others waited for five minutes.

The black cloth was lifted, and everyone stared intently at the 3D box. Finally, the scientists worked together to lift the Seastone lid of the box. Looking at the scene inside, their expectant expressions turned into excitement.

"Your Majesty, we succeeded! We succeeded! The Devil Fruit of the original user has been transferred into an ordinary fruit; it has become Devil Fruit."

A bespectacled scientist, his lips trembling, excitedly looked up at Ye Chen outside the glass wall.

"Let's go take a look."

With a change in expression, Ye Chen left the glass wall and entered the research room, leaving Caesar and Luo somewhat bewildered behind him.

"It's a real success!"

When Caesar looked inside the box, he was filled with disbelief.

He had clearly seen before that the entire box contained only a person with superpowers and some different kinds of fruit, but now, the person with superpowers was dead, and among the many ordinary fruits, a fruit with strange patterns was standing there quietly.

"It really worked!"

Luo was also amazed, and all the scientists in the research lab stared at Ye Chen with shining eyes.

"Boss, tell me what's going on? What's the principle behind it? Why are the ability users..."

"Stop!"

Frowning, Ye Chen looked at the green-eyed group led by Caesar, and his lips twitched.

"I don't know the underlying principle either, but what I do know is that this method works. It's your job to figure out the principle."

With a cold expression, Ye Chen looked at everyone, exuding an air of authority.

"You continue your experiments and try to discover as much as possible, such as whether the transferred Devil Fruit will undergo any changes, and why ordinary fruits can be transformed into Devil Fruit. This is all your job, not mine, understand?"

"Understood." Standing ramrod straight, many scientists had reddened eyes, eager to immediately begin their experiments.

"Boss, you can leave now. Don't bother me for the time being."

Caesar, on the other hand, immediately began to urge Ye Chen on, calling upon the scientists present to begin a new round of experiments.

What had just happened was like opening the door to a new world, making it impossible for Caesar to remain calm; now he only wanted to study it.

Being kicked out of the research lab, Ye Chen shook his head; he didn't care about these things.

"Boss, how is this possible?"

Standing beside Ye Chen, bewildered, Luo racked his brains, trying to recall what had just happened; it had completely overturned his expectations.

After all, if this matter were to get out, the whole world would be thrown into chaos, and the previously feared Devil Fruit User would be in grave danger, becoming targets for others no matter how strong they were.

Especially powerful users, such as the Logia Glint-Glint Fruit, Magma-Magma Fruit, and the Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"Nothing is impossible in this world. Since we can take away Devil Fruit, go tell Ichi and Kaku not to eat Devil Fruit outside, because even more powerful Devil Fruit await them."

"Yes."

"Also, this matter must be kept secret. Never mind, go and inform them to assemble immediately. I'll do it personally."

"I'll go right away." With a solemn expression, Luo vanished from the spot.

One can imagine how shocked Enel and the others were when they learned of this, especially Ichi, Kaku, and the others who hadn't yet eaten Devil Fruit; their eyes were filled with greed.

Almost simultaneously, they were already thinking of the Glint-Glint Fruit, the Ice-Ice Fruit, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and so on.

Therefore, they now have another target: to capture all ability users, whether they are Zoan, Paramecia, or Logia.

However, after the initial excitement, everyone calmed down. After all, those users with Great Devil Fruit abilities were all strong individuals, and capturing them would not be an easy task.

To overestimate one's abilities and provoke others might result in losing both one's wife and one's army.

Ye Chen issued a stern warning to everyone regarding this matter, stating that all ability users need to rely on physical strength, and therefore everyone should pay attention to their health.

In this way, Kaku and the others' restless hearts gradually calmed down.

Moreover, Ye Chen gave a strict order: anyone who dared to spread this matter would be personally eliminated by him.

As a result, Caesar's research lab is now more heavily guarded than the palace.
