Next, the situation in Wano Country stabilized.
Just like in the original story Kozuki Oden performed a 'naked dance' every day, Wano Country gradually began to call him ' the Lord Fool '.
Seeing this, the samurai and daimyo who had been recruited by the Nine Red Scabbards gradually fell silent.
The Kozuki Oden camp now consists only of the Nine Red Scabbards, who remain utterly loyal to Kozuki Oden.
On Onigashima and at the research base, Roy used his mental powers to eliminate spies from other factions.
This eased the tense atmosphere among the members of the Beasts Pirates.
Roy instructed Tesoro to use his powers to constantly monitor the experimental base, watching for any attempts to open Raijin Island.
The group of friends who were still exercising on their own nodded with satisfaction.
After settling his companions in, Roy headed to the core laboratory.
Dr. Gracia is observing the latest batch of experimental data.
Upon seeing Roy enter, he immediately rushed to greet him excitedly.
" Captain Roy! You've come at the perfect time! I have some important news to report!"
Roy walked to the control panel: "Speak."
"During this period,"
The PhD student brought up several sets of data interfaces.
"Based on our observations, Bloodline Transplantation experiments following clone transplantation have become relatively stable."
"Thanks to your reminder,"
Dr. Gracia pulled up some videos of physical exercises from Bloodline Transplantation experiments.
"The subjects' various indicators are slowly improving, although the increase is not large, the trend is upward."
He retrieved long-term observation data,
"These are the changes in the first batch of transplanted experimental subjects over the past three months."
"The increase in the Oni bloodline has increased from the initial 35% to 40%, and the increase in the Lunarian Tribe bloodline has increased from 25% to 30%."
"So, after Bloodline Transplantation, it can continue to strengthen?" Roy asked.
"Theoretically yes!"
The doctor adjusted his glasses.
"We believe this is because the bloodline genes have formed a stable sequence during the cloning process."
"However, when transplanted into a new host, it needs to readjust to the new environment, so its initial performance will be compromised."
"But as time goes on, the bloodline genes will gradually stabilize, and eventually may approach or even reach the level of a clone."
Roy nodded. "That's good news. But... how long will it take?"
"Well... it's hard to say."
The doctor was somewhat embarrassed.
"It depends on the intensity of the test subjects' training; we have no idea how far they can grow!"
Roy stared at the experimental subjects training on the screen, lost in thought.
It is still unknown how much of the abilities of the ' Oni ' and ' Lunarian Tribe ' can be inherited in the Bloodline Transplantation experiment.
Without complete experimental data to support his claims, Roy dared not let his own people try it lightly.
Each of my partners has considerable potential, and if one of them were to fail after the experiment, I would be heartbroken.
But now, the situation at sea is changing every day.
It's believed that the news of Roger becoming the Pirate King will break soon, and the Great Pirate Era is about to begin.
At that time, the world will be plunged into unprecedented chaos, and the power of pirates will inevitably increase dramatically.
The World Government will certainly not stand idly by, and the Navy will definitely begin recruiting.
The great pirates of the New World will surely be restless, and the power structure of the New World will inevitably be reshuffled.
Without sufficient strength and influence, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the chaos.
"Doctor, is there any way to speed up this process?" Roy asked.
"Accelerate?"
The doctor thought for a moment,
"In theory, blood vessel growth can be promoted through external stimulation."
"For example... high-intensity training, extreme environmental tests, and even... life-or-death crises in combat."
"Furthermore, I am also conducting research in this area,"
As Dr. Gracia operated the system, a complex set of experimental data appeared on the screen.
He didn't care whether Roy could understand it or not, and began to explain it with great enthusiasm.
"I was inspired by research data from the World Government. Perhaps we could accelerate the growth of experimental subjects through some growth-promoting agents."
Roy's gaze was fixed on the complex data charts on the screen.
Although he didn't fully understand the specific meaning of those molecular formulas and graphs, he grasped the key information in Dr. Gracia's words.
"Medicine?"
When the topic of medicine came up, Roy immediately thought of the 'E. X.' Energy Steroids that Charon had taken.
This drug can boost strength in a short time and also help regulate the two blood vessels in Charon's body.
"That's right!" Roy clapped his hands.
"Since the E. X Energy Steroids can regulate the balance of different blood vessels in the body, could it accelerate the progress of the experiment?"
Thinking of this, Roy immediately connected with Charon telepathically and told him to bring the Energy Steroids to the laboratory right away.
At that moment, Charon, who was sparring with Savi, immediately stopped fighting.
Charon, though bewildered by Roy's summons, still obeyed the order and went to the laboratory.
In the laboratory,
Roy explained to Dr. Gracia the two bloodlines that Charon possessed, and also explained the effects of the Energy Steroids.
This greatly shocked Dr. Gracia.
"Two ancient bloodlines coexisting in one body, and their potential can be harmonized and stimulated through medicine?!"
Dr. Gracia's voice rose with shock and excitement.
He almost pounced on Charon, who had just entered the laboratory and was still somewhat bewildered, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming as if he had discovered a new continent.
Charon felt a little uneasy under the doctor's fanatical gaze.
He subconsciously took half a step back and handed the small bottle containing "E. X" Energy Steroids to Roy.
Roy took the medicine bottle and handed it to the doctor.
"Doctor, this medicine might be of some help to you!"
Dr. Gracia carefully took the medicine bottle, as if holding a priceless treasure.
Ignoring Roy and Charon who were still present, he immediately went to a laboratory table and extracted some of the Energy Steroids powder.
It was placed in a sophisticated machine to analyze its components.
The instrument emitted a soft hum, and the data on the screen began to scroll rapidly. The doctor stared intently at the screen, muttering to himself.
"The active ingredient is abnormally active..."
The energy fluctuation spectrum shows dual harmonic properties...
It contains components that inhibit rejection... and substances that stimulate the deep potential of cells... Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
He turned abruptly, his gaze towards Charon becoming even more fervent.
" Charon, could you please cooperate with some basic testing?"
"For example, we could draw a small amount of blood to measure changes in your various physical indicators, especially blood vessel activity, before and after taking the medication?"
Charon looked at Roy, and seeing Roy nod, he readily agreed, "No problem, Doctor."
Over the next half hour, the doctor directed his assistant to conduct a series of rapid tests on Charon —blood draws, scans, energy sensing, strength tests, and so on.
At the same time, he also took a small portion of the original E·X Energy Steroids and Charon's blood sample for further cross-analysis.
Roy waited patiently, knowing this could be a crucial breakthrough.
Finally, the preliminary analysis results are in.
Dr. Gracia's face was filled with barely suppressed excitement. He pointed to the data comparison charts displayed side by side on the screen and reported to Roy:
"Captain, unbelievable! The mechanism of action of this E·X Energy Steroids is far more sophisticated than we imagined!"
