Vegapunk smacked his lips on the other end of the video call:
"That was an oversight on my part... There's something like that, too."
"Paramecia Devil Fruits really do defy all reason."
Sakazuki smiled:
"And the materials won't be much of a problem, either."
"If we find a few similar materials based on the properties of the special ones..."
"We can just synthesize them."
"Even memory metal wouldn't be much of a problem."
Vegapunk sighed:
"It's not that easy. If it could be synthesized so easily..."
"Wait..."
"Synthesize..."
"Don't tell me you mean..."
He stared in shock at the Devil Fruits on Sakazuki's side of the call and pointed:
"There's even a Devil Fruit that can synthesize memory metal???"
Sakazuki chuckled:
"That's right."
Vegapunk grew excited:
"Where is it? Where is it!!!"
Memory metal-a research problem that had plagued him for years.
He had never expected to hear news of it under these circumstances, let alone that a Devil Fruit alone could do it...
All those years of research had gone down the drain!!!
No, I have to reread the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia tonight! No! Ten times!!!
Sakazuki smiled:
"Don't get ahead of yourself. It's not easy to make a move just yet."
"He is a king, after all. The Reverie just ended, so it's not a good time to act."
Vegapunk calmed down a little:
"A king, huh..."
"That does make things difficult..."
In this world, powerful people were a dime a dozen... but few truly dared to kill a king.
Pirates who overran kingdoms and took hostages in hopes of usurping the throne didn't dare.
Doflamingo, who had schemed his way onto Dressrosa's throne, didn't dare.
Even Kaido, who held all of Wano Country under his oppressive rule, couldn't take the position of shogun.
This was a "rule"
