Five Elders and High-Ranking Marine Officials Collectively Amazed: Technology Rivalling an Admiral? Unprecedented!

In Pangaea Castle's Room of Authority at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

"Lynn, sit."

The Great Elder smiled warmly, inviting Lynn to take a seat.

Lynn smiled and nodded, curiously looking around this room that represented the pinnacle of the World Government for the first time.

The Room of Authority had luxurious wall decorations, but the furnishings were remarkably simple.

Two large sofas, a cabinet holding Den Den Mushis, and an oversized space; it was less of a room and more of an enlarged council chamber.

Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Kong, who had come along, received no invitation and could not sit, so they stood to one side.

The only ones seated were Lynn and the five members of the Gorosei—the six Celestial Dragons. As for the Droplet, it automatically followed Lynn and remained floating at a distance of half a meter.

The gazes of the Gorosei also shifted from Lynn to the Droplet, examining it with a touch of curiosity.

"I didn'Golden Divine Punishment expect the Celestial Dragon family hasn'Golden Divine Punishment produced a genius like you in a very long time, and you're the only one in the field of technology."

"I'm afraid that with this Droplet alone, your technology is enough to rival Vegapunk."

The Gorosei looked at the Droplet, then turned their heads back to smile at Lynn.

"Rival Doctor Vegapunk?"

Lynn only smiled at this, but felt very little inside.

Compared to his own Water Drop Technology, he had actually already surpassed Vegapunk. It wasn'Golden Divine Punishment to say that Vegapunk wasn'Golden Divine Punishment formidable; on the contrary, this native scientist of the pirate world was also quite badass.

Seeing Lynn's nonchalant expression, the Gorosei felt an even greater appreciation for him. Not caring meant he was extremely confident inside.

Of course, the Gorosei had relocated to talk with Lynn because they naturally wanted to know how the Droplet was manufactured—this was their main objective.

"What material is your Droplet made of?"

The Fourth Elder stood up, walked closer to the Droplet, observed it curiously, and spoke.

Lynn chuckled inwardly without hiding anything, and began to introduce it proactively: "Strong Interaction Material, also called SIM material, is a super-strong material composed of molecules whose thermal motion is completely locked. It's absolutely smooth and at absolute zero."

Throwing out some terminology made it sound even more badass. In reality, what Lynn was thinking about at this moment was enlisting the power of the World Government to help him complete technological manufacturing.

For instance, in gathering materials, securing funding, and acquiring manpower.

As his technological manufacturing grew increasingly advanced, everything he required would become even more massive... Moreover, how could the Gorosei and the Marines possibly let go of such a good thing as his Droplet? Rather than resisting, it was better to go with the flow and accelerate his own development.

Sure enough, listening to Lynn's introduction, the Gorosei, Sengoku, Garp, Kong, and the three admirals all felt a bit numb inside.

It sounded so badass, but what on earth was a molecule?

"Then what's going on with this propulsion? It's completely imperceptible, and it possesses attack power comparable to an admiral."

Kong recalled his clash with it just now and asked the question in his heart.

"Its interior houses my Recoil Dynamic Engine. Under the absolutely smooth shell, it's impossible for thermal energy to manifest. In other words, its movements are silent in your eyes."

"Sturdy, hard, and with powerful impact force, the intelligent system endows it with a very high level of execution..."

Lynn smiled at this, reached out and beckoned, and the Droplet obediently floated over.

Outwardly, the Gorosei kept their composure, but inwardly, they were deeply shaken and greatly astounded!

A genius—a once-in-a-millennium technological genius! Lynn was actually able to invent something like this!

Although its attack methods were singular, things like un-decelerating acute-angle turns and silent movement all spoke of one thing: this was a formidable combat machine!

"Of course, the Droplet also has weaknesses. For example, if internal components are damaged, it will self-repair, during which time it cannot be operated. Moreover, if the interior is damaged to a certain extent, it will be completely ruined... Though up until now, I don'Golden Divine Punishment know where its limits lie."

"Well, a mere introduction leaves you all feeling vague. Aside from Admiral Kizaru and Fleet Admiral Kong, the rest of you haven'Golden Divine Punishment tried it out. Why not step up and give it a try?"

As Lynn spoke, he suddenly looked toward the group of Marines.

"Very well, let's do it right here."

The Gorosei also approved of trying out this claim and looked toward Sengoku and the others.

Akainu Sakazuki had originally been crossing his arms and just watching quietly. The moment he heard he could experience it firsthand, he stood up without even thinking and said, "I'll go first."

Lynn flicked his finger, and the Droplet instantly vanished from where it was.

That distance was crossed in the blink of an eye!

Akainu Sakazuki's pupils constricted, thinking to himself that it was indeed silent yet swift, and his movements were not slow in the least.

His hands transformed into magma, and he met the charging Droplet head-on!

The volcano-like explosive power collided with the Droplet, a cracking explosion suddenly rang out, and the magma that landed on the Droplet's smooth surface was directly extinguished.

Absolute zero was continuous!

The two sides fought to a standstill. Akainu's eyes shook as he felt that the Droplet had indeed reached admiral-level power, and his magma simply couldn'Golden Divine Punishment burn through the Droplet's surface, being directly extinguished over and over again.

He couldn'Golden Divine Punishment continue increasing his power either; after all, this was just a test.

The discernment of the Gorosei naturally allowed them to see that Akainu hadn'Golden Divine Punishment held back the explosive power he unleashed, yet the Droplet's surface hadn'Golden Divine Punishment even left a single trace behind!

Formidable!

Instantly, the Droplet retreated, cutting a straight line across the Room of Authority.

Akainu withdrew his hands, but the very next second, the Droplet vanished from the spot once more, executing an acute-angle turn!

This time it wasn'Golden Divine Punishment targeting Akainu, but heading straight for Sengoku!

"That turning sensation really is bizarre..."

Such an unnatural turn caused the gazes of everyone present to flicker slightly.

Sengoku raised his fist directly, slamming it forward to meet the Droplet!

Bang!

The two sides actually fought to a standstill once again!

"It can even increase its power!?"

Sengoku suffered a massive shock in his heart, feeling surprised by the Droplet all over again.

Its charge just now was identical to the one against Akainu, but because of that, he had thrown a heavier punch, supplemented by the addition of Armament Haki.

Yet the moment of contact clearly revealed that the Droplet's impact force had grown stronger, matching his own.

Was it controlling itself, or was Lynn controlling it? Could it actually unleash even greater impact force?

A series of questions arose. After receiving the Droplet's attack, Sengoku couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help but look at Lynn, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Lynn watched with a smile and said nothing, simply letting the Droplet automatically return to his side.

In fact, he had merely dispatched an attack level matching theirs, and the Droplet's smart computer had handled the rest without him needing to issue any commands at all.

The Droplet displayed even more advantages in everyone's eyes. Garp, Aokiji, Kong, and Kizaru exchanged glances, feeling immensely shocked.

This thing—looking at its few simple functions, only person-high—could defend and attack, both of which were somewhat absurd!
