The First Droplet Delivered to the Navy Is Complete!
Just like the war machines Vegapunk had researched—the Pacifistas!
Kizaru knew that the power of technology could never be underestimated. It was a terrifying force capable of overturning the entire world.
Not to mention how restless the Four Emperors were on the seas right now—even if they came attacking, they had to protect Lynn's research work.
Especially when Lynn had already revealed a glimpse of his terrifying technological power?
The Droplet was comparable to an Admiral!
As Gion looked at the serious Kizaru, a sound suddenly came from the laboratory below.
Everyone looked over and saw that Lynn had emerged from the laboratory!
He had come out after just one month!? Kizaru, Gion, Chaton, and the others all looked surprised, quickly getting up and heading down to greet him.
Two identical Droplets floated behind Lynn.
When he saw Kizaru and the others approaching, he stood where he was and tossed over a small ring from his hand.
"Saint Figarland, what is this?"
Gion hurriedly caught it, looking doubtfully at the ring flashing with a faint blue light in her hand.
"A Head Controller. Once you put it on, you can freely control this Droplet."
Lynn yawned as he spoke. At the same time, one of the Droplets behind him flew forward, displaying itself before everyone.
Borsalino, Gion, Chaton, and the other Navy personnel were overjoyed, their eyes immediately lighting up with excitement.
"Sir, you finished the Droplet so quickly!"
"This is the first unit the Gorosei ordered. I'm giving it to you first so you can familiarize yourselves with it, and also to strengthen the defenses around my laboratory."
Lynn was unconcerned. He did not understand why they were so excited; his mind was still on the research inside.
After saying that, he went back inside, shut the laboratory doors, and continued his studies.
The Navy personnel truly had not expected Lynn to produce a Droplet for them in just one month. They all excitedly watched the floating Droplet, while Chaton stared especially intently at the Controller in Gion's hand.
"Hey, Gion, how do you wear such a tiny ring on your head? How about I try it on first?"
Chaton rubbed his hands together and chuckled.
"Get lost!"
Seeing right through his scheme, Gion rolled her eyes at him.
As a senior, Kizaru did not care who tested the Droplet first. He merely watched and urged Gion to try it quickly.
"Let me see..."
Gion did not know how to use the Controller either, but Lynn had said to wear it on her head. So she pressed the two-finger-wide Controller against her forehead.
She felt nothing, but the instant it touched her skin, the Controller adhered firmly to her head, and its faint blue glow suddenly brightened.
As though sensing something, the floating Droplet flew toward Gion and stopped half a meter in front of her.
"It really is amazing... You can control the Droplet just like this!?"
Tesoro stared in astonishment, muttering under his breath.
Never mind the Droplet's power; this method of control alone was already astonishing.
"What a strange feeling, this Droplet..."
Gion was somewhat excited as she thought of making the Droplet fly rapidly through the air.
Suddenly, the air around the Droplet trembled. In the next second, it vanished from where it was and shot into the sky!
"H-How did you control it!?"
Chaton had not seen Gion make any movements at all. The Droplet had flown off by itself, and he asked in shock.
That was understandable. Lynn had only said that wearing it would allow them to control it freely; he had not said that a single thought could make the Droplet carry out their commands.
This was the strength of the intelligent system within the Droplet's technology. In fact, with the technology that made up the Droplet, it would not be difficult for Lynn to create an intelligent artificial program.
At this moment, Gion also realized that the Droplet was flying according to her thoughts, stirring up the clouds in the sky.
It was incredibly fast. To the naked eye, its straight-line movement was merely a black blur flashing past in complete silence. Coupled with its turns, it would be truly difficult to spot without powerful Observation Haki!
"So fast! Incredibly fast!"
Tesoro was inwardly stunned. He felt that such speed alone was terrifying enough.
At the very least, no ordinary person could dodge it.
"What an extraordinary Droplet."
Kizaru stood to the side and observed, murmuring in amazement.
Of everyone present, only he could completely keep up with the Droplet's speed. After observing it, he knew that the Droplet Lynn had just made was just like the previous one—absolutely top quality.
"Tesoro, come test the Droplet's power!"
Suddenly, Gion's lips curled up as an idea came to her. She looked at Gild Tesoro.
They had tested its speed and agility, so they needed to test its power as well. Naturally, Tesoro was the best choice.
Since Gion could choose, she naturally would not pick someone from the Navy.
Tesoro immediately looked at Gion in alarm. He wanted to refuse, but Chaton and Kizaru both turned their gazes toward him. He gritted his teeth.
There was no getting out of this...
"Come on!"
As for the Droplet's power, Tesoro had only heard Chaton and Gion talk about it a month ago. As for whether it was truly that formidable—
It was hard to say. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he was still only half-convinced. That was why he could grit his teeth and agree.
But if it had been Chaton, he would rather die than agree.
What a joke. Was the defense that even Admiral Kizaru could not break, along with the strike that made Gion cough up blood and nearly crippled her arm, supposed to be a joke?
"Very well, attack!"
Gion secretly smiled and directly thought of attacking Tesoro.
The Droplet flying in the sky immediately made a sharp turn and dived straight downward!
Its target was Tesoro!
"This..."
Something was wrong!
Tesoro's pupils shrank. Looking at the descending Droplet, he had the overwhelming impression that nothing could stop it.
An ominous feeling rose in his heart. He made a split-second decision! The gold around his body surged, Armament Haki emerged, and an outer layer of protection formed around him. It wrapped around his arms as he crossed them before his chest to block the attack!
Just as he finished those movements, the Droplet arrived before Tesoro and slammed into him with a solid bang...
Tesoro believed it. When the tremendous impact shattered the gold around his arms, his chest tightened, his throat turned sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as his body was sent flying uncontrollably into the distance—
He believed it. The Droplet truly possessed overwhelmingly powerful attack power!
"My arms were almost gone..."
With a bitter smile, Tesoro's heart was already filled with shock.
Everything Chaton and Gion had said was true. The Droplet's attack power had absolutely reached Admiral-level!
It was truly difficult to imagine that Figarland Lynn, a Celestial Dragon, had created an Admiral-level technological weapon in just one month.
It was absurd—far too unbelievable. Did that not mean that as long as he had enough materials, Lynn could produce a whole pile of these terrifying things!?
