Whoosh!
Accompanied by a faint sound of air being torn apart, Adams flashed into the laboratory. Seeing Vegapunk's expression as though he had found a priceless treasure, as well as the unknown metal in his hand gleaming with an extraordinary sheen, Adams revealed a hint of anticipation.
"Doctor, judging by that expression... have you finally found a suitable metal?"
Vegapunk had long grown accustomed to Adams appearing out of nowhere. Without even raising his eyelids, he continued studying the metal in his hand.
"Yes, I just succeeded. Although it's only an initial version, it should barely be enough for the first prototype test of the 'Pacifista.'"
Delight immediately appeared on Adams's face.
"Then can we start manufacturing the first batch of artificial soldiers now?"
"By the way, have you decided on a name for this new alloy?"
Vegapunk continued fiddling with the metal block in his hand, observing it more closely.
"A name? I haven't had the time to think of one. Do you have any suggestions?"
Adams seemed to have prepared for this already and offered his suggestion without hesitation.
"I think we should call it 'Peace Metal.' At the same time, we can officially name the artificial soldiers modeled after Bartholomew Kuma 'Pacifistas.'"
In Adams's view, the Pacifistas created by the World Government in the original timeline had never lived up to their name.
They were merely tools used to suppress pirates and uphold the Celestial Dragons' rule. They did nothing to address the root cause of the chaos on these seas and even aided evil.
How could such violent machines possibly bring true peace?
The source of this world's chaos was the Celestial Dragons and the World Government behind them. Only by completely overthrowing them and establishing a fair new order could true, lasting peace be achieved.
