Sophon That Could Disrupt Three-Color Haki!

Then the technology transformed directly into a stream of information and flooded Lynn's mind.

"How powerful is a Four Emperors-level Droplet?!"

Lynn was pleasantly surprised. He had not expected to obtain the next stage of Water Drop Technology so quickly.

But the cost was a bit of a problem.

"Starting at 100 billion... That isn't an issue, but manufacturing a Four Emperors-level Droplet also requires upgraded materials. They're all extremely rare, and the complexity has risen by more than one level."

Rubbing his chin, Lynn closed his eyes and carefully examined the details of the technology.

Money had never troubled Lynn. Rare metals and materials could be gathered with some time, but more importantly, the laboratory needed upgrading as well.

With the current equipment, producing Admiral-level Droplets was barely manageable. Now that the technology had advanced, the requirements for all sorts of equipment had increased too. It seemed that the full set would cost no less than 300 billion.

Fortunately, he had planned for continual expansion when he first built the laboratory. Besides, he could not acquire everything in a short time, so Lynn decided to slowly prepare the next technologies first.

"Hmm, let's take another look at Sophon Technology..."

Lynn had actually been looking forward to Sophon Technology even more, because it was even more incredible than Water Drop Technology! Even if it only covered ten kilometers for now.

Unlike offensive technologies, it was also called an Intelligent Microscopic Particle, an advanced technology capable of communication, reconnaissance, interference, and other tasks!

After undergoing two-dimensional unfolding and modification, the Intelligent Microscopic Particle could even help Lynn monitor the Pirate World, producing an effect similar to a network.

Simply put, while it possessed no destructive power, its usefulness far surpassed his understanding of technology!

Moreover, the technology transmitted to Lynn was not merely a theoretical concept. It was genuine Sophon Technology that could be manufactured as long as he had the materials and technical support!

Of course, that would be the true, complete Sophon Technology. What Lynn had obtained was the ten-kilometer version, meaning it could cover that range.

As for its interference capabilities, Sophon had changed from being able to interfere with other technologies and lock down technological development in another dimension to being able to interfere with Haki!

In other words, within its coverage area, aside from basic functions such as long-distance communication through quantum entanglement, it could directly interfere with the use of Haki within its range and render it ineffective!

For the Pirate World, this was simply crushing suppression!

"Sophon Technology... It also contains components of Water Drop Technology and requires materials made using Strong Interaction Force..."

Lynn had completely immersed himself in technological analysis, muttering to himself as his mind calculated at high speed.

In the end, with a slight headache, Lynn rubbed his temples and finally stopped thinking.

"Although it's only ten kilometers, if it's deployed widely enough, it can still form a huge net."

Deploying Sophon was not difficult. Once it was manufactured, he only needed to choose a suitable location. Materials forged with Strong Interaction Force could not be easily damaged or corroded.

Lynn grew excited at once, his eyes shining. This was practically a divine tool for growing bigger and stronger and creating new glory. As long as it was developed and deployed, even monitoring the entire world would not be a problem!

"Hahaha, deploy it. It must be deployed! Let's see Sophon's cost... The cost isn't small either, at least 10 billion. A little expensive, but it doesn't trouble me at all!"

To Lynn, 10 billion was nothing.

Having decided to upgrade the laboratory and gather the materials needed to manufacture Four Emperors-level Droplets and Sophon, Lynn did not waste any time.

After finishing his bath, he changed into clean clothes with the maids' assistance and walked out.

Meanwhile, the idle Kizaru, Chaton, Gion, and Onigumo were still admiring and studying the floating Droplet.

The more they looked at it, the more fascinated they became. Even as a work of art, it possessed an indescribable beauty.

Lynn understood that. After all, the entire Droplet looked as though it had been formed by nature, and the structure of its exterior looked especially nice.

He did not bother with them for the moment. He merely nodded in response to their greetings, had a maid bring him paper and pen, wrote down a new materials list, and summoned the black-clad members of the CP Force.

"Withdraw another 100 billion and purchase according to the list above. Also, expand the purchasing channels. You know what to do. Don't save money for me."

Lynn gave the order calmly.

Kizaru and the others clicked their tongues in astonishment. One hundred billion Beli, spoken from a Celestial Dragon's mouth, sounded as effortless as drinking water.

Yet unexpectedly, the black-clad man, who had always obeyed orders without question, revealed a hesitant expression and did not immediately agree.

"Hmm?"

Lynn's eyes narrowed as he looked over with a scrutinizing gaze.

Only then did the black-clad CP agent nervously kneel on one knee and say, "Saint Figarland... You only have 50 billion left..."

"What did you say?"

Lynn's gaze instantly turned sharp. Rather than rebuking him at once, he frowned and asked in confusion.

Forget the affiliated nations—even the Heavenly Tribute accumulated by the Figarland Family over recent years should have amounted to a family fortune in the trillions, right?

"It was at the Holy Land, Mary Geoise... The Roswald Family took advantage of your absence to lay hands on the Figarland Family's property. They also took away your family's affiliated nations and used the Gorosei to claim the Heavenly Tribute, leaving insufficient funds now. Saint Figarland, you... you now have only a few affiliated nations left, and they are all very poor."

"If you urgently need money, should we forcibly collect the Heavenly Tribute again?"

The black-clad CP agent was terrified as he said this, even asking that final question.

Lynn was so angry that he laughed. Fury blazed in his heart, and even Kizaru, Gion, and the others could not help exchanging glances when they saw the rage radiating from him.

This was bad. The genius scientist among the Celestial Dragons was angry. That money was probably meant for technological development, and now this matter likely would not end peacefully.

But this was a conflict between Celestial Dragons, so the Marines silently took a few steps back.

"Taking my money while I'm gone?"

This was the first time Lynn had been this angry since coming to this world. Another family actually dared to touch the money his own family had left behind.

More importantly, the Gorosei had actually permitted the Roswald Family's actions. They were trying to sell him out!

"Gathering up my wealth and leaving me with nothing but the identity of a Celestial Dragon before exiling me? Hmph!"

With a wave of Lynn's hand, the Droplet immediately flew behind him. He then ordered the CP agents to return to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, at once!

His money was not so easy to touch!
