Inside the ship's cabin.
Ray brought Law from Gluttony Island.
"What does the Noah family need me to do?"
Noah immediately released the unconscious Weevil from the card. "I need you to modify this person."
Luo looked at Weevil, and after observing him for a while, his expression became increasingly serious. "Something's not right with this guy!"
"He's a cyborg, created through gene fusion experiments. Examine his body and see if there are any problems."
"A cyborg? Judging by his age, he's been trained for at least twenty years. Could he be a product of Vegapunk's illegal scientific research team?"
"No, but there is a connection, because its creator, Bakkin, was once a member of the Rocks Pirates and had some dealings with Vegapunk's crew."
During their conversation, Luo had already conducted a comprehensive examination of Weevil's body using methods such as MRI, CT scan, and ultrasound.
After the examination, Luo frowned deeply. "His body is very strong, but the problems are also very serious. The main problems are congenital defects caused by gene fusion, including intellectual disability due to incomplete brain development, reproductive system failure, superandrogen syndrome and mania due to abnormal secretion of male hormones, and rejection reaction from the heart transplant, etc..."
"Can this be resolved?"
"Sure." Luo was very confident. These problems might be difficult for other doctors or scientists, but they weren't too serious for Devil Fruit User the Op-Op Fruit.
However, Luo knew that the cyborg in front of him was the material for Noah's Apostle, so he first cut off Weevil's prefrontal lobe before starting the treatment.
First, the transplanted heart was replaced.
Next, the male hormone-secreting cells in Weevil were reorganized, restoring some functions of his reproductive system and allowing his hormone secretion to return to normal.
Finally, the brain is modified by injecting IQ life serum to promote secondary brain development; however, the prefrontal cortex is permanently removed.
The surgery lasted for more than three hours before it was completed.
Furthermore, Law, who pursues perfection, used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to make a major adjustment to Weevil's extremely disproportionate body and limbs, transforming them into a normal human physique.
After completing the treatment, Noah fed the previously obtained Strong-Strong Fruit to Weevil and then transformed him into Apostle.
[ The Fool: Weevil ( Strong-Strong Fruit )]
"My lord, Weevil salutes you!"
"Get up!" Noah said as he drew upon the power of the Strong-Strong Fruit within him.
After experiencing it for a while, he discovered that the fruit's effect was not the true "Power-Power" fruit, but rather the Strength Fruit ".
This fruit can only increase physical strength, with a maximum increase of 100 times, rather than allowing control over various forces.
If it involves controlling various forces, then this fruit would be extremely terrifying, because the forces include "electromagnetic force," "gravity," "strong nuclear force," and "weak nuclear force." The four fundamental forces of the universe can encompass most aspects of physics.
Clearly, this fruit is not the Strong-Strong Fruit, but rather the Strength Fruit, which is equivalent to a lower-tier version of the More-More Fruit.
Noah was prepared for this.
However, a 100-fold increase in power is already extremely powerful.
The fruit was indeed wasted on Ruru, because this guy was just an ordinary gambling addict with less strength than the average person. Even with a 100-fold increase in strength, he would at most be equivalent to a hundred ordinary people combined.
However, this fruit would be quite terrifying in Weevil's case.
This guy's physical strength was enough to easily kill Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. Later, he was able to fight Zephyr head-on, dragging it out until Zephyr's asthma flared up, and then cutting off one of his arms.
Now, thanks to Luo's treatment, Weevil's body has become stronger, and he can continue to improve by taking the Origin Blood Potion in the future.
He was already Admiral Candidate in terms of physical skills, and now with the 100-fold boost from the Strength Fruit, his strength has clearly surpassed that of an ordinary Admiral.
After Noah borrowed the power of this fruit, he also found that his strength had become much greater.
Previously, without using the Steel-Steel Fruit or the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon to enhance his body, Noah's physique would have been at most equivalent to Elite Vice Admiral in the Marine Headquarters. Only after using the Steel-Steel Fruit or the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon did he reach the Admiral level.
But now that he has used the Strength Fruit, his power has suddenly soared to a higher level.
In particular, by using the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon as a foundation and adding the Strength Fruit, his power directly broke through the limits of Admiral. Now he feels as if he could shatter the Red Line with a single punch.
Although this was due to the psychological inflation brought about by the sudden surge in power, it was an easy thing to smash an island the size of Hachinosu with a single punch.
Despite gaining such immense power, Noah did not become overconfident. He knew that until his power reached the level of destroying stars, there were still many uncertainties.
Moreover, the other members of the family have not yet fully matured. He estimates that it will take about five or six years before the family members reach their peak strength.
During this period, Noah plans to gather all 22 Apostle of the Major Arcana Deck as soon as possible, so that the Card-Card Fruit can enter its Awakening state.
That will be the time when he and the Noah Family formally declare war on the World Government.
Noah did not keep Weevil by his side.
After all, he is currently at sea, and even if he encounters the Five Elders, he can leave through the Escape Passage, so he doesn't need a super fighter like Weevil by his side.
On the other hand, Shiki's Sky Empire has already come into the open, and more combat power is needed just in case.
Therefore, Noah instructed Are to Weevil Ray the Sky Empire as a hidden trump card for the Sky Empire.
With Weevil as their trump card, the Sky Empire can repel even a surprise attack from the Five Elders, and even achieve a counterattack.
After Noah saw Weevil and Luo off, he did not change course, but continued sailing towards the Calm Belt on the east side of the East Blue.
He hasn't sailed in the East Blue for a long time.
We plan to sail to the East Blue for a period of time.
The Prosperity sailed for five days and reached the edge of the Calm Belt in the East Blue.
Noah instantly activated the strong magnetic field of the rubidium magnet, causing the Prosperity to float slightly in the air, but not very high above the sea surface, less than 5 meters.
Prosperity is rapidly sailing East Blue.
During the voyage, Noah did not let his guard down. Instead, he used Observation Haki and electromagnetic fields to keep a close eye on the seabed in the Calm Belt.
Various bizarre Sea Kings swim and forage on the seabed.
Among them are large Sea Kings that can reach several thousand meters in length, as well as ordinary fish that are only a few meters in size.
However, there are also some relatively safe sea areas within the Calm Belt.
For example, this shallow sea area right in front of us.
The Prosperity came to a stop because it discovered that the seabed in this shallow area was filled with the ruins of various buildings.
Clearly, this is yet another ancient civilization destroyed by rising sea levels.
The water depth in this shallow sea is generally between 50 and 190 meters, and its area reaches approximately 1,700 square kilometers.
Now that he had encountered it, Noah decided to explore the ruins of this ancient civilization.
Noah, Kuro, and the others quickly completed their preparations, and the Prosperity began its descent.
