The First Drop Delivered to the Marines is Complete!

Just like the war machines Vegapunk researched—the Pacifista!

Kizaru knew that the power of technology could never be underestimated; it was a terrifying force capable of overturning the entire world.

Let alone the fact that the Four Emperors on the sea were currently restless—even if they attacked, they would still have to guard Lynn's scientific research work.

Moreover, had Lynn not already displayed a glimpse of his terrifying technological might at this very moment?

A Droplet, rivaling an Admiral!

Gion looked at the serious Kizaru, and right at that moment, the laboratory downstairs suddenly made a sound.

Everyone looked over, only to see that Lynn had emerged from the laboratory!

He came out after just a month!? Kizaru, Gion, Chaton, and the others all flashed looks of surprise, hastily going forward to greet him.

At this time, Lynn was accompanied by two Droplets—identical Droplets!

Seeing Kizaru and the others walking over, he stayed right where he was, produced a small circular ring from his hand, and tossed it over.

"Figarland, what is this?"

Gion hastily caught it, looking at the ring that emitted a faint blue light in her hand with confusion.

"A Head Controller. Once you put it on, you can freely control this Droplet."

Lynn yawned, and as he spoke, one of the Droplets behind him flew out, displaying itself before everyone's eyes.

Kizaru Borsalino, Gion, Chaton, and the other marines were filled with pleasant surprise, excitement instantly welling up in their eyes.

"Droplet, you manufactured it so quickly!"

"This is the first one requested by the Gorosei. I'm giving it to you first so you can get familiar with it, and also to strengthen the guard force around my laboratory."

Lynn remained nonchalant. In truth, he didn'Golden Divine Punishment understand why they were so excited, his mind still set on the research inside.

Thus, after speaking, he went back in, closed the laboratory doors, and continued his advanced studies.

The marines truly had not expected that Lynn would produce a Droplet for them in just a month. One by one, they excitedly looked at the floating Droplet, with Chaton even staring fixedly at the Controller in Gion's hand.

"Hey, Gion, how do you wear a little ring like this on your head? Why don'Golden Divine Punishment I try and see if I can put it on first?"

Chaton rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Get lost!"

Seeing the scheme written all over his face, Gion simply rolled her eyes.

As a senior, Kizaru didn'Golden Divine Punishment care who tested the Droplet first either; he simply watched and urged Gion to hurry up and give it a try.

"Let me see..."

Gion didn'Golden Divine Punishment know how to use the Controller either, but since Lynn said to wear it on her head, she pressed the two-finger-wide Controller against her forehead.

She didn'Golden Divine Punishment feel much, but the moment it touched her skin, the Controller firmly attached itself to Gion's crown, and a faint blue light suddenly flared to life.

The floating Droplet seemed to sense something, flying toward Gion and stopping half a meter away.

"Truly wondrous... You can control the Droplet just like this!?"

Tesoro wore a look of utter amazement, muttering under his breath.

Quite apart from the Droplet's might, this method of control alone was enough to astound anyone.

"What a peculiar feeling, this Droplet..."

Gion felt a thrill of excitement, thinking of making the Droplet fly rapidly through Kong.

Suddenly, the air around the Droplet trembled, and the next second it vanished from the spot, shooting toward Kong!

"How... how is it controlled?!"

Chaton hadn'Golden Divine Punishment seen Gion make any movements at all before the Droplet flew off on its own, and he asked in astonishment.

In truth, when Lynn came out, he only said that putting it on allowed free control; he hadn'Golden Divine Punishment mentioned that a single thought in the brain was enough to make the Droplet execute a command.

This was also the brilliance of the intelligent system within the Droplet technology. In fact, for Lynn, who possessed the technology to build Droplets, creating an artificial intelligence program would not be a problem at all.

At this point, Gion also recovered her wits, realizing the Droplet was flying according to her own thoughts, churning the clouds in Kong.

Its speed was so fast that in a straight line, to the naked eye, it was merely a black shadow flashing past in utter silence. Coupled with sharp turns and the like, if one lacked powerful Observation Haki to catch it, it would truly be hard to see!

"Fast! Super fast!"

Tesoro felt incomparable astonishment in his heart, considering such speed to be terrifyingly fast.

At the very least, it wasn'Golden Divine Punishment something ordinary fellows could dodge.

"What an extraordinary Droplet indeed."

Kizaru stood off to the side observing, murmuring and sighing.

Among those present, only he could completely keep up with the Droplet's speed, and his observations only confirmed that the new Droplet Lynn had built was just like the previous one—absolute top quality.

"Tesoro, you try out the Droplet's might!"

Suddenly, the corners of Gion's mouth curled upward as inspiration struck, and she looked toward Gild Tesoro.

They had tested its speed and agility, so they needed to test its might as well, and the best candidate for the job was naturally this Tesoro.

Since Gion could choose anyone, she naturally wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment pick a marine.

Tesoro immediately looked at Gion with startled suspicion. He had a mind to refuse, but both Chaton and Kizaru cast their gazes over as well, causing him to grit his teeth instantly.

There was no escaping it...

"Bring it on!"

Actually, regarding the Droplet's might, Tesoro had only heard Chaton and Gion talk about it a month ago, and as for whether it was truly that formidable—

It was hard to say. In short, without seeing it with his own eyes, he remained at a stage of lingering doubt, which was why he was able to grit his teeth and agree.

If it had been Chaton, however, he definitely would have died before accepting.

Are you kidding me? A defense that even Admiral Kizaru couldn'Golden Divine Punishment break through, alongside a strike that made Gion vomit blood and nearly crippled her arm—was that a joke?

"Very well, attack!"

Gion smiled inwardly, directly thinking the command to attack Tesoro.

The Droplet flying in the sky instantly executed a sharp-angle turn, plunging straight downward!

The target: Tesoro!

"This..."

Something was wrong!

Tesoro's pupils contracted as he watched the plunging Droplet, producing an overwhelming sense of invincibility.

An ominous premonition rose in his chest, and he made a split-second decision! He mobilized the gold on his body as Armament Haki manifested, forming an outer protective layer that wrapped around his arms, which he then crossed in front of his chest to resist!

Right as he finished these motions, the arriving Droplet reached Tesoro, and with a loud bang, it crashed solidly into him...

Tesoro believed it then. When the immense impact shattered the gold on his arms, a heavy sensation struck his chest, a sweetness rose in his throat, and he coughed up a large mouthful of blood while his body was sent flying uncontrolled into the distance—

He believed it then. The Droplet truly possessed incomparably formidable offensive power!

"My arm was almost gone..."

With a bitter smile, Tesoro's heart was already filled with shock.

What Chaton and Gion had told him wasn'Golden Divine Punishment the least bit exaggerated; the Droplet's offensive power definitely reached the Admiral-level.

It was truly hard to imagine that the Celestial Dragons Figarland Lynn had managed to manufacture an Admiral-level technological weapon in just a month.

Defying the heavens, far too preposterous! Didn'Golden Divine Punishment this mean that as long as he had enough materials, Lynn could manufacture a whole bunch of these terrifying contraptions?!
