"What about Garp?"
The plan for Vegapunk was simple: put him to work on research.
Garp, meanwhile, would certainly be a powerful asset to NESTS. Ignis had no intention of revealing him to the world.
But how exactly should he modify him?
Before long, Ignis had an idea.
"Erase his kindness as well, and amplify his evil side to a suitable degree."
Controlling emotions and personalities like a creator, even influencing memories, was something Ignis found extraordinary.
He did not understand the principles behind it, but he knew how terrifying this technology was.
This was another of Vegapunk's wonders. Doctor Ian had learned this technology from Vegapunk as well.
The life design blueprint itself belonged to the domain of creators.
That domain was so vast that it could accomplish almost anything.
Doctor Ian and Doctor Miguel had only scratched its surface, each specializing in one field.
Doctor Miguel's research focused on combining the Combat Suit with the lineage factor.
Making inanimate objects eat Devil Fruits was one part of this field.
What Ignis needed was a powerful fighter, a blade that obeyed his orders and killed without hesitation, not another Garp.
For him, this was a necessary step.
He had to account for the risk of losing control.
To Ignis, kindness was a fatal flaw that could lead to a loss of control, so it had to be removed.
Amplifying his evil side would make Garp an even more dangerous weapon.
Besides, removing kindness alone merely made someone a little colder. It did not affect everyday life.
After a long while, Doctor Ian finished the procedure.
"The modifications are complete. They'll need about three days of stabilization and observation before we can release them."
Looking at his handiwork, Doctor Ian felt some anticipation as well. Only time would reveal the
