The Truly Terrifying Aspect of Sophon

"No, no, I meant that you were incredible."

When Chaton saw Lynn looking over, he immediately raised his hands to explain.

In his excitement, he had even spoken disrespectfully about Figarland. But this was genuinely insane.

This Sophon could actually suppress and interfere with Haki. How on earth did it do that?

"You all felt it, didn't you? All Three Types of Haki will be interfered with within Sophon's coverage range. That is one of its functions."

Lynn also knew that, to the people of the Pirate World, this was indeed far too shocking.

"Figarland, how far can Sophon's range reach?"

Amid her shock, Gion immediately came to her senses and hurriedly asked.

"Sophon has not yet reached its most perfect level. Right now, it can cover a range of ten kilometers. It is a little small."

Lynn stroked his chin and chuckled.

Back in the laboratory, he had felt that Sophon Technology was too difficult. Even with the system's blueprints, putting it into practice was no simple matter.

Fortunately, he did seem to have a talent for technology. After only a few attempts, he successfully created a Sophon with a ten-kilometer range.

"Ten kilometers?!"

The moment Gion and the others heard that, they were stunned in place, their faces full of disbelief.

So this genius scientist was still dissatisfied?

What did ten kilometers mean? An ordinary small island might not even span ten kilometers, while some small kingdom islands were only that large!

If it were used on a battlefield, a ten-kilometer coverage area would encompass everyone. One could easily imagine the predicament of the side suppressed by Sophon.

This invention was simply too terrifying!

"Figarland is indeed Figarland. Once you unveil this Sophon, I am afraid even the Gorosei and Fleet Admiral Sengoku will be shocked."

Chaton let out a deep breath, then said with a smile.

It was far too powerful. Lynn was a Celestial Dragon, yet from Droplet to Sophon, these scientific methods simply did not seem like the intelligence and talent a Celestial Dragon should possess.

Moreover, no one knew how he had come up with such ingenious ideas for creating these things.

Tesoro and his group stood to the side, too stunned to speak. They thought to themselves that Celestial Dragon Lynn had produced another absurdly powerful Sophon. This world was truly about to change!

"This is only one of Sophon's functions. Its truly terrifying aspect is not this."

Lynn spoke calmly. He had long known that after obtaining the Technology System, he would surely overturn the understanding of the people of the Pirate World in the future.

Interfering with Haki was indeed outrageous and difficult to imagine for people in the Pirate World, where everyone trained their bodies.

But compared with Sophon's other functions, interference was actually a very ordinary measure.

Just as Lynn was about to continue explaining Sophon's functions, the Den Den Mushi on Gion suddenly rang.

When she answered it, she learned that Marine Headquarters was calling. Fleet Admiral Sengoku had come to ask about the laboratory's situation.

Almost every day, Sengoku paid close attention to news from Golden Technology City. Droplet had given them far too many surprises, making it impossible not to care.

Thus, as soon as Lynn emerged from seclusion, the Marines had immediately informed Sengoku.

After all, Sengoku had long been waiting for Figarland Lynn to come out. Presumably, more Droplets would be transferred to the Marines at once, allowing them to carry out more plans.

For instance, they were deeply troubled by the meeting between Red-Haired and Whitebeard. If they had two Droplets, along with an Admiral taking action, they might be able to forcibly disrupt it.

When Gion, Chaton, and the others heard Sengoku asking about the technology Lynn had brought out, they first turned to look at Lynn. Seeing no displeasure from him, they began their report.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Figarland has emerged, and he has brought out a new invention called Sophon."

"Sophon?"

The name sounded like a person's name, and Sengoku repeated it curiously.

"Yes. It is like a great net spread across the sky... Figarland said Sophon has no combat power, but its effect is truly... unbelievably powerful!"

Gion still sounded somewhat shaken. After she said it, even Sengoku on the other end was surprised.

What kind of effect could make Gion feel shocked and awed all over again while giving her report?

Lynn found the report between Marine superiors and subordinates amusing. He did not interrupt, merely beckoning over a maid to bring him a chair, then eating and drinking where he stood.

Sengoku continued asking, "What exactly is Sophon? Stop keeping us in suspense."

"It, it can interfere with the operation of all Three Types of Haki within a ten-kilometer range! Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki, all of them!"

"What?!"

Sengoku even doubted whether he had heard correctly.

Interfere with Haki?! In this world, had anything other than Haki ever been able to interfere with Haki?

For a moment, even Garp, Kizaru, and Aokiji, who were in his office, looked over in surprise.

They had also heard that it lacked combat power, yet could interfere with Haki!

"Interfering with Haki, Mr. Sengoku... Figarland is simply the greatest inventor in the world."

Chaton leaned closer, repeated it in a grave tone, and did not forget to flatter Lynn.

"So miraculous!"

Now that he had heard clearly, Sengoku's voice carried unconcealed delight. His pitch even rose beneath his incredulous tone.

Good heavens, if this were used on enemies, then wouldn't that mean...

"It is not that simple. Sophon's interference effect is all-encompassing. In other words, everyone within its range is interfered with indiscriminately."

At that moment, Lynn spoke indifferently while drinking, pouring cold water over him.

Sengoku also heard Lynn's voice through the Den Den Mushi.

"Figarland... even if it is indiscriminate, this is still an unprecedented invention. You are truly incredible."

Sengoku could not help saying it. Even so, this invention was incredibly powerful.

If the idea were handed to Vegapunk for research, he likely would not find any clue for years. Yet Lynn had created it in merely one month.

Such an effect was practically heaven-defying. With Haki suppressed, Devil Fruit abilities would be amplified on the battlefield without powerful Haki holding them down!

"Enough. Do not say so many flattering words."

Lynn had little interest in such words. What he was still considering was whether he should intensify his stockpiling of materials and resources.

For example, rare extraterrestrial meteorites would be very useful. The World Government should have collected some.

There were also metals other than gold. So far, however, he had not yet used this world's specialty, Sea Prism Stone.

But at that moment, Tesoro had been listening and watching from the side. Looking back at the Sophon spread across the sky, he recalled the words Lynn had started but not finished earlier.

"Figarland, what did you mean when you said Sophon's truly terrifying aspect was?"
