Gild Tesoro was actually quite baffled.
Figarland Lynn, a Celestial Dragon, had transformed the entire entertainment city into a massive laboratory and technology hub, and had also commandeered the massive amounts of gold he had gathered.
That was right, there was a zone in the central laboratory where the underground had been converted into a place to store liquid gold!
It was said to be for the convenience of scientific research and retrieval, and Tesoro had no objections to this, nor did he dare to. After all, the entire island had been remodeled.
After the completion, Kizaru, Gion, Chaton, and others also stood on high ground, looking down at the technology hub below and sighing sincerely, "What a dreamy construction. Figarland is truly extraordinary, a genius."
This was different from before. The top brass of the Marines all knew that Lynn was a genius with real substance, the inventor of the Droplet.
The laboratory before their eyes was not just for show, but a place that could genuinely manufacture all kinds of miraculous technologies.
"Good! This is the super laboratory I envisioned!"
Lynn spread his arms, as if embracing the laboratory below, and laughed heartily.
Happy? Of course he was happy. This laboratory, including all the peripheral buildings, was designed by himself with powerful functions.
Except for the building where he currently stood, which Tesoro had previously existed, everything below was now brilliant.
It was still a black outer layer wrapping around the laboratory, but this one was larger, tougher, more functional, and came with a certain degree of automation. Once Lynn went inside, he just needed to create the intelligent system inside a Droplet for it to automate.
He could even establish an assembly line for manufacturing Droplets!
Most importantly, it now housed all kinds of precious materials, as well as huge, massive amounts of liquid gold! The creation of the Sophon System could begin at any time.
"Admiral Kizaru, you still need to guard the outside. The rules remain the same: no one is allowed to break in."
Lynn decisively decided to get to work. Nothing was more exhilarating than swimming in the ocean of technological knowledge.
Of course, Lynn had the blessing of the Technology System, which was why he was so excited, calling this process an enjoyment and a progression.
Thus, watching Lynn go downstairs with the Droplet following him like a guardian, never leaving his side until he stepped toward the laboratory and the black automatic doors closed shut, Tesoro was completely dumbfounded.
"The door is closed... Huh, Figarland didn'Golden Divine Punishment bring anyone in with him. He's all alone."
Baffled and deeply confused, Tesoro glanced at Kizaru not far away.
Was he not waiting for scientists to come? Like Vegapunk?
Could it be that a Celestial Dragon built all this just to go inside and play?
Tesoro certainly did not believe that high-IQ toys like technology were something a Celestial Dragon could handle. There was no reason why—Celestial Dragons were trash; that was common consensus. At this moment, he assumed Lynn had gone in just to play.
However, a glance at Kizaru made him feel a bit timid, and he didn'Golden Divine Punishment dare to go up and strike up a conversation to ask. Driven by curiosity, he could only shift his attention to Vice Admirals Gion and Chaton.
Kizaru didn'Golden Divine Punishment mind answering Tesoro, but since this fellow lacked the guts to ask, Kizaru Borsalino curled his lips and walked away uninterestingly.
Next, who knew how long this guard duty would last?
And so, as Kizaru left, Tesoro immediately sought out Gion and Chaton in private and raised the doubts in his heart.
In return, he got weird expressions from Gion and Chaton, who said, "It's indeed rare for a Celestial Dragon to dabble in scientific research, but he is Figarland Lynn."
"There are three distinctions among Celestial Dragons: one is the Gorosei, another is the other Celestial Dragons, and the last one is called Figarland Lynn."
Chaton said, almost jokingly.
He was also an old acquaintance of Tesoro, and as the saying went, he had frequented the entertainment city quite a few times before, including Gion, who had been here a few times.
"He... he's really doing research!"
It was rare... No, extremely, extremely rare. Tesoro's whole face stiffened.
Or rather, ever since he met Lynn, his face kept getting beaten stiff.
"Yeah, it's hard to imagine a Celestial Dragon having such a high IQ to do research. This is unprecedented history in the Holy Land, so being able to fall under Figarland's command is an opportunity."
Chaton's expression carried a hint of advice as he spoke to Tesoro.
"That Droplet was invented by Figarland, and it possesses terrifying might."
Gion curled her lips, assuming Tesoro didn'Golden Divine Punishment believe it, and spoke up.
"Droplet-shaped... how much power does it have?"
Tesoro was already somewhat startled in his heart, and upon hearing this, he asked out of even greater curiosity.
"I won'Golden Divine Punishment tell you too much, but that Droplet is enough to rival an admiral, and to some extent, even surpass one."
Chaton's expression was very serious.
"An admiral..."
Tesoro knew very well what this represented: the highest combat power of the Marines!
A Celestial Dragon not only engaged in technology, but had already invented a Droplet that could rival an admiral! Tesoro was deeply shocked, his mouth wide open, cold sweat beading on his forehead as he felt a belated sense of relief.
He was thankful that he hadn'Golden Divine Punishment put up a desperate fight against Lynn back then; otherwise, before the Marines even arrived, he would have been defeated by the Droplet.
He was even more thankful that he had been chosen by Lynn. Following a proactive Celestial Dragon was much more meaningful than clinging to those trashy Celestial Dragons just to rake in wealth.
Gion and Chaton exchanged glances. After clearing up Tesoro's doubts, they left to arrange the guard duty.
This island needed to be guarded even more diligently than before; even the Gorosei were paying attention to it.
Carrying his shocked thoughts, Tesoro gradually began to calm down and started waiting quietly.
After entering, Lynn immediately got into the zone. He began by manufacturing admiral-level Droplets to deliver; as for letting other people use them, naturally, they wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment be able to control them with mere thoughts like he could.
The modifications and engineering work required were truly not few.
Time quietly passed, a month later.
Back in the original entertainment city building, Kizaru, Gion, Chaton, and others sat scattered around, while Gild Tesoro, who was now working for Lynn, sat at the very edge, listening to the marine admiral and vice admirals talk.
"The recent G-5 Branch and the headquarters have both gotten busy, remaining on high alert."
Gion looked at the marine personnel present and said somewhat hesitatingly.
"You want to go back and help?"
Chaton, however, looked entirely unperturbed, displaying Kizaru's trademark style of slacking off.
"You won'Golden Divine Punishment be able to help, and a fight won'Golden Divine Punishment break out. Gion, don'Golden Divine Punishment be too nervous. Red-Haired merely delivered a message to Whitebeard; even if they meet, a fight won'Golden Divine Punishment break out."
Kizaru was even more calm.
"Mr. Borsalino, besides Red-Haired and Whitebeard, the others among the Four Emperors are also getting restless. Kaido goes around trying to commit suicide and even went to Marine Headquarters! And that Big Mom wants to arrange a political marriage again!"
Gion sighed. Having tens of thousands of troops guarding here was truly a bit of a waste.
"The importance of this place far outweighs a fight between the Four Emperors."
Kizaru, however, shook his head and said very seriously.
