The True Terrors of Sophon!

"No, no, I just meant that you are amazing, sir."

Chaton saw Lynn's gaze turn toward him and immediately raised his hand to explain.

In his excitement, his words had even bordered on disrespect toward Figarland, but this was truly outrageous.

This Sophon could actually suppress and interfere with even Haki; just how was that even possible?

"You all felt it, right? All Three Types of Haki will be interfered with within the Sophon's coverage range. This is one of its functions."

Lynn also knew that for these people of the Pirate World, it was indeed far too shocking.

"Lord Figarland, how far is the Sophon's range of influence?"

Amidst her shock, Gion immediately reacted and hurriedly asked.

"The Sophon is not yet at its most perfect grade. Right now, it can cover a range of ten kilometers, which is a bit small."

Lynn touched his chin and chuckled.

In fact, inside the laboratory, he still felt that Sophon Technology was too difficult. Despite having the design blueprints from the system, actual execution was not all that simple.

Fortunately, it seemed he really did have a talent for technology; after only a few repetitions, he had successfully manufactured a ten-kilometer-range Sophon.

"Ten kilometers?!"

When Gion and the others heard this, they were instantly frozen in place, their faces full of disbelief.

Could it be that this genius scientist was still unsatisfied?

What was the concept of ten kilometers? An ordinary small island didn'Golden Divine Punishment even span ten kilometers, and the islands of some small kingdoms were only this big!

If applied on a battlefield, a ten-kilometer coverage would encompass everything, and one could completely imagine the plight of the faction suppressed by the Sophon.

This invention was simply too terrifying!

"Lord Figarland is truly Lord Figarland. With the appearance of this Sophon of yours, I'm afraid the Gorosei and Fleet Admiral Sengoku will be utterly shocked."

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

It was too formidable. Lynn was still a Celestial Dragon, and from the Droplet to the Sophon, such scientific methods simply did not seem like the intelligence and talent possessed by a Celestial Dragon.

Moreover, he had no idea how those whimsical ideas to manufacture these things had been conceived in the first place.

Tesoro and his crew were standing off to the side, too shocked to speak. They thought to themselves that since the Celestial Dragon Lynn had conjured up yet another awesome Sophon, this world was truly going to turn upside down!

"This is just one of the Sophon's features; its truly terrifying aspect isn'Golden Divine Punishment this."

Lynn appeared quite calm as he spoke, knowing full well that after obtaining the Technology System, he would inevitably subvert the cognition of the people in the Pirate World in the future.

Interfering with Haki—this was indeed outrageous and hard to imagine for people in the Pirate World who trained their bodies.

Yet compared to the Sophon's other functions, interference was actually a very ordinary method.

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

Upon answering, it turned out to be Marine Headquarters: Fleet Admiral Sengoku was inquiring about the situation in the laboratory.

Almost every day, Sengoku paid close attention to the news over at Golden Technology City because the Droplet had given them far too many surprises to simply ignore.

Therefore, the moment Lynn came out of seclusion, the Marines notified Sengoku immediately.

After all, Sengoku had long been waiting for Figarland Lynn to emerge, figuring that there would be more Droplets to be immediately reassigned to the Marines, allowing them to execute even more plans.

For instance, they were having a huge headache over the encounter between Red-Haired and Whitebeard. If they had two Droplets, combined with an Admiral taking the field, they might be able to forcibly disrupt it.

Hearing Sengoku ask about the technology after Lynn came out, Gion, Chaton, and the others first turned to look at Lynn and, seeing that he held no aversion to it, began to report.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Lord Figarland has emerged and brought out a new invention named the Sophon."

"A Sophon?"

This name sounded like a person's name, and Sengoku muttered it curiously.

"Yes, it's like a giant net draped across the sky... Lord Figarland says the Sophon doesn'Golden Divine Punishment possess combat power, but its effect is truly... ridiculously powerful!"

Gion's tone still carried a trace of shock, and after she spoke, Sengoku on the other end was somewhat taken aback.

What kind of effect could make Gion unable to help but feel shocked and amazed all over again during a report?

Amused by the Marine superiors and subordinates reporting to each other, Lynn didn'Golden Divine Punishment interrupt. He reached out to summon a maid, had a chair brought over, and began eating and drinking right where he stood.

Sengoku continued asking from his end, "What on earth is a Sophon? Stop keeping us in suspense."

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

"What?!"

Sengoku even doubted whether he had heard clearly.

Interfering with Haki?! In this world, there had never been anything other than Haki itself that could interfere with Haki, right?

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

They had also heard that it lacked combat power, but possessed the effect of interfering with Haki!

"It interferes with Haki, Mr. Sengoku. Lord Figarland is quite simply the greatest inventor in the world."

Chaton leaned closer and repeated in a solemn tone, not forgetting to flatter Lynn along the way.

"So miraculous!"

Hearing it clearly this time, Sengoku's voice even carried a hint of pleasant surprise, its pitch rising slightly with disbelief.

Good grief, if this were used on the enemy, wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment that mean...

"It's not that simple. The Sophon's interference effect is all-encompassing, which means the interference within the range is indiscriminate."

At that moment, Lynn, who was drinking something, said flatly, pouring a bucket of cold water on the idea.

Through the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku on the other end also heard Lynn's voice.

"Lord Figarland... although it's indiscriminate, this is still an unprecedented invention. You are truly amazing."

Sengoku couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help but say that even so, this invention was still immensely awesome.

If the idea had been handed to Vegapunk to research, I'm afraid he wouldn'Golden Divine Punishment have had a clue for several years, let alone Lynn manufacturing it in just a single month.

An effect like this could be called heaven-defying. With Haki suppressed, then on the battlefield, absent powerful Haki suppression, Devil Fruit abilities would be magnified!

"Alright, spare me the flattery."

Lynn had very little interest in such remarks, and what he was still pondering in his heart was whether he should step up his efforts to hoard material resources.

For instance, rare extraterrestrial meteorites were very useful, and the World Government ought to have collected some.

There were also metals other than gold, though up until now he hadn'Golden Divine Punishment yet used the specialty of this world: Sea Prism Stone.

Yet at this moment, Tesoro had been listening and watching from the side all along. Looking back up at the Sophon spread flat across the sky, he thought of the words Lynn had left unsaid earlier.

"Lord Figarland, what did you say was the true terror of the Sophon?"
