Redesigned from Scratch

"This is the fake blueprint," Iceburg said quietly.

"..." Miming said, "Revise it a little more. I need it to look real, and preferably explode."

"It'll explode the moment anyone tests it," Iceburg said softly. "I altered the parameters and removed the equations. Anyone who knows the equations can naturally calculate the real parameters. But without the equations, success is impossible. In fact, we can't understand any of those equations either."

"..." Miming did not know whether to laugh or cry. You really are talented!

Craftsmen were different from scientists and were not particularly skilled with theory. In this world, probably only the handful of scientists led by Dr. Vegapunk could possibly reconstruct the equations. But if they could work out the core theory, what would they need these blueprints for? They could redesign it from scratch themselves.

That worked out perfectly. Miming summoned Cairns and had him take the blueprints aboard the Sea Train to deliver them to Spandam. He was to explain the Gorosei's decision: the blueprints would be publicly destroyed at Enies Lobby.

"This is a merit Spandam took the lead in earning. He will be responsible for publicly destroying them, to show my trust in the Spanda Family," Miming instructed Cairns.

After Cairns left, Robin asked curiously, "Why do this?"

"The Spanda Family is deeply trusted by the Gorosei." Miming briefly explained the family's circumstances. "Spandax is a monster with twenty thousand Doriki. Without a suitable reason, we can't simply dispose of him. So we have to make them and the forces behind them destroy themselves."

"Oh my, I always thought the force behind Spandine was you." Robin spoke with embarrassment.

Miming was speechless.

"What does twenty thousand Doriki even mean?" Robin wanted to understand better.

Miming's answer made them all understand just how difficult this
