Sophon's All-Around, Blind-Spot-Free Surveillance Shocks Everyone!

"Something even more terrifying!?"

Inside the Marshal's Office, hearing the voice from the other end, they instinctively exchanged glances.

Every one of them looked astonished.

Interfering with Haki was not even its most formidable feature!? Just what heaven-defying technology had Figarland developed!?

At that moment, Lynn's light chuckle came through as well.

"Sophon, as I said, interference is only one of its functions. What it truly excels at is real-time remote surveillance."

Lynn did not mind Tesoro's curiosity. Since he had asked, Lynn would properly introduce Sophon to everyone.

After all, his technology was meant to be displayed.

"What does real-time surveillance mean?"

Sengoku and the others did not immediately understand Lynn's terminology.

"Den Den Mushi can transmit some on-site visuals, right? Although I still do not understand how those snail-like bugs exchange information, Sophon's surveillance is definitely more powerful—and it has no delay."

As he spoke, Lynn rose to his feet. At some point, he had three tiny beads in his hand, each even smaller than a little finger.

A faint blue glow flowed across the beads.

They were accessories designed to work with the Sophon Interactive System.

"Surveillance is like a surveillance Den Den Mushi, except Sophon is more intelligent and advanced. Its surveillance footage is synchronized with reality—that is what real-time means. It can also scan and penetrate. So long as it is within the surveillance area, even underground can be examined in detail, down to the finest trace."

Lynn also wanted to test this function, so he casually tossed the beads in his hand onto the ground.

If there had been anyone from the modern era present, they would certainly have recognized the beads as something like the 3D projectors seen in films. They were, indeed, projectors.

Everyone watched curiously. Although Sengoku and the others could not see, they listened closely.

The beads Lynn had thrown down spun on the ground. Amid flashes of light, layer after layer of luminous screens unfolded, appearing directly before everyone!

There was no need for a projection screen or anything else. They simply appeared in midair, leaving everyone staring with their mouths agape.

Then, an ultra-high-definition image appeared on the screens, as though the scene itself had been laid out before them.

"Th... This is Gran Tesoro!"

Tesoro cried out in shock as he stared at the familiar outline.

No one knew Gran Tesoro's appearance better than he did. The high-definition image displayed before them was precisely an aerial view of Gran Tesoro!

The port-like entrance and exit at the rear, the towering building at its center, and the area that had been demolished and rebuilt into the Black Laboratory.

Every detail was perfectly clear!

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

The image could even filter away the obstructing glare, allowing them to see the group standing at the entrance to the laboratory.

Wasn't that group themselves? Chaton even made several movements. At the same time, among the interconnected screens, one smaller image magnified the view, clearly showing Chaton moving!

Chaton was so startled that he nearly jumped.

Damn, it was like a surveillance Den Den Mushi was filming directly above his head. It was far too clear. When Lynn deliberately zoomed in, they could even see the pores on Chaton's face.

"Th... This is incredible!"

Now everyone present, including Gion, understood that this was the surveillance capability Lynn was demonstrating.

Sophon had clearly unfolded and hung somewhere unimaginably high in the sky, yet the image was as clear as if a camera had been shoved right into their faces.

"Don't be so quick to be surprised. Zooming in is only a basic function. Let me show you something even more impressive."

Lynn returned to his chair and spoke calmly, though inwardly he was quite pleased with Sophon's performance.

No problems. No bugs.

Then, in the next second, every location and corner of Gran Tesoro appeared on the screens. Wherever they wanted to inspect in detail, the camera view could be pushed closer for ultra-high-definition observation.

The tens of thousands of Marine soldiers stationed there, Tesoro's subordinates, people, objects, terrain—nothing could escape Sophon's surveillance!

What was even more outrageous was that, as Lynn continued his demonstration, Gion, Chaton, Tesoro, and the others were so shocked they nearly collapsed onto the ground!

Because the viewpoint in the image was no longer merely observing the surface. Its surveillance range passed through the ground and penetrated deep underground!

The crisscrossing foundation structures beneath the laboratory, the gold solidified underground, and even further in, the moist layers beneath the surface.

Lynn did not probe too deeply underground. He merely gave a brief demonstration, then looked at everyone with a smile. "Well? Not bad, right?"

"Not just not bad..."

Chaton and Tesoro could not help but smile bitterly.

Interfering with Haki, combined with surveillance like this—it was absurd. Completely absurd!

When Sophon surveilled a person, even a single hair on that person could be enlarged in minute, crystal-clear detail. When it surveilled the environment, it could even directly penetrate underground!

Everyone present was repeatedly stunned. After witnessing its effects, their scalps tingled.

"Too terrifying. With something like Sophon monitoring everything, it would be the same as having no secrets at all."

Gion let out a deep breath, unable for a moment to decide whether she should feel delighted or shocked.

"This is what surveillance should be—clearly monitoring every inch of every place."

Lynn waved his hand and withdrew the images, smiling faintly.

Meanwhile, although Fleet Admiral Sengoku's side could not see anything, after hearing all the astonished exclamations coming through the Den Den Mushi, and after Gion recounted it all, everyone in the office was left dumbfounded.

"With effects like these combined..."

It was truly difficult to imagine. No wonder Lynn had said that this thing did not possess the combat power of Droplet, yet for the battlefield, its effects were unimaginably powerful!

"When combined, it becomes the Sophon System. Right, it can also hide within Two-Dimensional Space, making it impossible for enemies to see or touch. Real-time calls and video are even simpler."

Lynn gave a brief introduction, feeling delighted as well.

In fact, if he deployed Sophon across the entire world, he could even establish the internet in this world!

But ten kilometers was still far too small.

The Pirate World was likely far, far larger than Earth, his homeland.

What a vast world. At the very least, it would need a range of hundreds of kilometers before he could claim to establish something resembling the internet.

Still, there was no rush. They were merely ideas for now.

Sengoku's side had no idea that Lynn was still planning his ideal technological infrastructure. They had already been thoroughly stunned by Sophon's capabilities.

The expressions of those at the scene were even more spectacular.

But after a short while, Sengoku came back to his senses. On one hand, he had someone notify the Gorosei about Sophon's emergence. On the other, he thought of a use for Sophon!

That was the matter of Red-Haired and Whitebeard meeting!
