"Are there even more terrifying aspects!?"

Inside Marshal's Office, upon hearing the voice coming from the other side, everyone subconsciously exchanged glances.

They each felt a sense of astonishment.

Interfering with Haki wasn'Golden Divine Punishment even the most powerful part!? What kind of heaven-defying technology had Figarland actually researched!?

At this moment, Lynn's light chuckle also came through.

"As for Sophon, I already said that interference is only one of its functions. Its truly formidable trait is real-time remote monitoring."

Lynn didn'Golden Divine Punishment mind Tesoro's curiosity; since he asked, he might as well introduce Sophon properly to everyone.

After all, his technology was meant to be displayed.

"What does real-time monitoring mean?"

Sengoku and the others couldn'Golden Divine Punishment immediately grasp Lynn's terminology.

"Den Den Mushi can transmit some on-site images, right? Although I still don'Golden Divine Punishment understand how these snail-like bugs interact and exchange information, Sophon's monitoring is definitely much more powerful, and completely delay-free."

As he spoke, Lynn also stood up, holding three small beads in his hand at some point—very small, even smaller than a pinky finger.

A faint blue light circulated across the beads.

These were the accessories paired with the Sophon Interactive System.

"Monitoring, it's like monitoring bugs, but Sophon is much smarter and more advanced. The monitoring images are synchronized with reality, which is called real-time, and it can also perform scanning and penetration. As long as it's a monitored location, it can probe even underground, and every single detail is visible."

Lynn also wanted to test this function, directly tossing the beads in his hand casually onto the ground.

If there were any modern people present, they would definitely be able to tell that the beads were just like 3D projectors in movies, and they truly were projectors.

Everyone watched curiously; Sengoku and the others couldn'Golden Divine Punishment see, but they were listening intently.

They saw the beads thrown by Lynn spinning on the ground, and amidst flashing light, patches of light screens unfolded from them, appearing directly before everyone's eyes!

There was no need for a projection screen or any other items; they just appeared right there in space, causing everyone present to drop their jaws.

Subsequently, ultra-high-definition images appeared on the light screen, as if the scene had been laid out right there.

"Th-This is Gran Tesoro!"

Tesoro let out a sharp cry, looking at this familiar outline as he said in shock.

No one was more familiar with the appearance of Gran Tesoro than he was; the high-definition images displayed on the light screen before him were precisely Gran Tesoro viewed from the air!

The port-like entrance and exit at the tail, the towering building in the center, and the place that had already been overturned and rebuilt into the Black Laboratory.

Everything could be seen clearly!

"It really is Gran Tesoro... That's us!"

Within the image, it could even filter out the obstruction of light and angles, allowing everyone to see the group of people standing at the laboratory entrance.

Weren'Golden Divine Punishment these people themselves? Chaton even made a few gestures, and simultaneously, within the patches of linked light screens, a small section of the image magnified the perspective, clearly showing Chaton making those movements!

Chaton was so startled he jumped!

Damn it, it felt like there was a Den Den Mushi filming right above his head. This was way too clear; as Lynn deliberately zoomed in the lens, even the pores on Chaton's face could be seen.

"Th-This is too powerful!"

At this point, everyone present, including Gion, understood that this was the monitoring capability Lynn was displaying.

Clearly, Sophon had unfolded and hung at an unknown height in the sky, yet it was as clear as pressing a camera lens right against your face.

"Don'Golden Divine Punishment rush to be surprised; zooming in the field of view is just a basic function. Let me show you something even more impressive."

Lynn sat back down in his chair and said casually, feeling very satisfied in his heart with Sophon's operation.

No problems, no bugs.

Thus, the next second, every single corner of the entertainment city was displayed on the light screen. Wherever they wanted to view in detail, the camera frame could be pushed forward for ultra-high-definition observation.

Tens of thousands of stationed navy soldiers, Tesoro's subordinates, and so on—people, objects, terrain, none of them could escape Sophon's monitoring!

What was even more outrageous was that as Lynn demonstrated, Gion, Chaton, Tesoro, and the others were so astonished they were practically about to fall to the ground!

Because in the image, the perspective wasn'Golden Divine Punishment just looking at the ground anymore; its monitoring range had pierced right through the surface and penetrated deep underground!

The vertical and horizontal foundation structures beneath the laboratory, the gold solidified underground, and going even deeper, they could even see the moist surface layer of the earth.

Lynn didn'Golden Divine Punishment probe too deeply underground either, simply demonstrating it briefly before smiling brightly as he looked at everyone and said, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

"More than just not bad..."

Chaton and Tesoro couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help but smile wryly.

Interfering with Haki, coupled with this kind of monitoring capability—outrageous, simply too outrageous!

When Sophon monitored a person, even a single hair on that person's body could be magnified in detail, crystal clear. When monitoring the environment, it could even probe directly underground!

Everyone present was shocked over and over again, their scalps tingling after seeing the effects.

"Terrifying. With something like Sophon monitoring, it's equivalent to having no secrets at all."

Gion let out a deep breath, unable to tell for a moment whether she should feel pleasantly surprised or shocked.

"This is what you call monitoring, clearly monitoring every single inch of space."

Lynn waved his hand to retract the image and said with a faint smile.

As for Marshal Sengoku's side, although they couldn'Golden Divine Punishment see, listening to the various sounds of amazement and shock coming through the Den Den Mushi, coupled with Gion retelling it once, everyone in the office couldn'Golden Divine Punishment help being dumbfounded.

"Combining effects like this..."

It was truly unimaginable. No wonder Lynn said this thing didn'Golden Divine Punishment have combat power like the Droplet, but for a battlefield, its effects were terrifyingly formidable!

"Combined, it's the Sophon System. Right, it can also hide into two-dimensional space, making enemies unable to see or touch it. Real-time calls and videos are even simpler."

Lynn introduced it with a few words, feeling happy in his heart as well.

In fact, by deploying Sophon everywhere, he could even realize the internet in this world!

Still, ten kilometers was still a bit too small.

The Pirate World was probably much, much larger than his hometown Earth.

Such a vast world... At least a hundred-kilometer scale would give him the confidence to say he could build something resembling internet effects.

However, there was no need to rush these things; they were just ideas.

Sengoku over there had no idea Lynn was still planning his ideal technological construction, and was already deeply stunned by Sophon's prowess.

As for those on the scene, each of their expressions was colorful.

But a moment later, Sengoku also reacted. On one hand, he had someone notify the Gorosei about Sophon's birth; on the other hand, he also realized that Sophon could finally be put to use!

That was about Red-Haired meeting Whitebeard!
