Kaido, King, and Queen all stopped in their tracks at the same time.
Even Roy, who already knew the situation, was still shocked when he saw this scene again.
The incubation chamber on the left side of the passageway contains the "human" appearance.
They look exactly like the core members of the Roy Pirates!
Bullet, Hawk Eyes, Tesoro, Crocodile, Kyros, Savi, Savi, Enel, Pea, Charon, Yamato, and even Stella and Scarlet... Except for Roy himself (whose original embryo is in the lab further inside), almost everyone here has a "clone"!
The incubation chambers on the right side of the passage correspond to the main officers of the Beasts Pirates!
Besides Kaido, King, and Queen, there are also Jack, Ulti, Page One, and Maria —these are the core members of the Beasts Pirates!
The "clones" were not completely still; their chests rose and fell slightly with the flow of nutrient solution, as if they were breathing gently.
The body's muscles are smooth and perfectly defined, and there is a subtle glow flowing under the skin, revealing a vigorous vitality and a sense of hidden power.
Most notably, aside from a few clones of individuals like Kaido, King, Moria, and Kuma who possess special bloodlines,
The physical characteristics of the vast majority of other clones underwent subtle and harmonious changes!
Some of them had faint, keratinous patterns resembling those of the Oni appearing on their skin;
A faint, flame-like glint occasionally flickered across the ends of some hairs or beneath the skin (a characteristic of the Lunarian Tribe );
Some skeletal structures appear more robust and powerful than the original body (a characteristic of the Buccaneer Tribe )...
However, these abnormal characteristics are not abrupt; rather, they seem like natural expressions that were originally hidden deep within the genes and are now being optimized and activated.
It blends perfectly with the overall appearance of the clone, even adding a strange sense of beauty and power.
"This... this is..."
Even the well-traveled Kaido stared wide-eyed at this moment.
He carefully examined the "prototypes" that resembled his subordinates but exuded a different aura.
Jin's pupils contracted slightly, his attention particularly focused on the embryos that Lunarian Tribe flames.
Queen even took off his cigar, opened his mouth wide, and his eyes behind his glasses were filled with the burning brilliance of a mad scientist seeing a perfect creation.
As you can see,
Dr. Gracia's voice, tinged with pride, echoed in the quiet corridor.
"These are the 'bloodline fusion embryos' that I have carefully nurtured for you all!"
He walked to a culture chamber labeled " Tesoro," reaching out to touch the cool glass as if admiring a masterpiece of art.
Previous experimental subjects, due to technical limitations,
Significant physical changes often occur after transplantation.
Furthermore, only a portion of the bloodline abilities can be inherited, and these are only the visible ones; the potential is locked, and it's impossible to elevate them to their most perfect state.
The doctor turned around, his gaze sweeping over Roy and Kaido four:
"But these embryos now are completely different!"
We used the somatic cells provided by you as a blueprint, and used them as the 'main framework'.
Then, they selected from Kaido's Oni bloodline, Mr. Jin's Lunarian Tribe bloodline, and Mr. Kuma's Buccaneer Tribe bloodline.
The most essential, stable, and universally applicable gene fragments.
"Through the original ' Lineage Factor targeted chimerism technology',
We will perfectly embed these optimized alien genes into key and complementary positions in your main genetic chain, like assembling the most intricate building blocks.
The entire process is completed in the early stages of cell division, ensuring natural and coordinated embryonic development throughout.
The doctor pointed to those embryos:
"So what you're seeing isn't a simple 'piecework monster'."
Rather, it is a 'new human' embryo that naturally grows towards a more optimized and stronger direction from the very beginning of life!
They possess an appearance highly consistent with the original characters, while harmoniously incorporating the superior traits of three special bloodlines!
"After transplantation, these superior traits will not immediately manifest as exaggerated 'abilities',"
That would actually cause physical strain and instability.
They will be deeply integrated into your physical foundation in the form of 'potential'!
Dr. Gracia became more and more excited as he spoke.
"This means that after the transplant, you'll need to train like you would muscles and Haki presence."
Through long-term, systematic, and high-intensity training, we can gradually 'awaken' and 'unearth' these dormant potentials!
As the training progressed, the Oni's terrifying regenerative abilities and physique, the Lunarian Tribe's surface defense and fire affinity, and the Buccaneer Tribe's immense strength...
These abilities will gradually emerge in a way that best suits each individual's unique characteristics.
And ultimately reach or even surpass the strength of the original bloodline holder!
"Moreover, because of the perfect fusion that begins in the embryonic stage,"
There will be no malignant changes in appearance, and the rejection reaction is almost zero!
This is the evolution of life, a ladder to a higher level of life!
The passageway was completely silent.
Kaido, King, and Queen were all stunned by the detailed explanation and the perfect embryo before them.
They can sense the life waves contained within those embryos, which are of the same origin as themselves but are even more profound and pure.
Roy took a deep breath and looked at Dr. Gracia:
"Doctor, so you mean, after transplanting the 'optimized bloodline' provided by these embryos..."
By diligently training, we can steadily acquire the core advantages of these three special bloodlines.
And there are no side effects, right?
"Theoretically, yes!"
Dr. Gracia nodded vigorously.
"Of course, when it comes to each individual, due to differences in their original physique, Devil Fruit abilities, and training direction,..."
The final emphasis and form of expression will differ.
But a comprehensive improvement of the fundamentals is inevitable!
"Hehehehehe... Hahahaha!!!"
Kaido suddenly burst into a deafening laugh, the sound echoing through the passage and making the glass vibrate.
"Great! Excellent! Doctor, you did a fantastic job! This is practically a path to evolution tailor-made for me!"
His eyes burned with an intense flame, an endless thirst for greater power.
"My Oni bloodline is already powerful; if I could perfectly fuse it with the flames of the Lunarian Tribe and the power of the Buccaneer Tribe..."
"Hehehe! On this vast ocean, who can stop me?!"
Jin remained silent, but his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed his inner turmoil.
The talents of the Lunarian Tribe combined with the physique of the Oni and the strength of the Buccaneer Tribe...
This might allow his strength to reach that legendary level...
Queen licked his lips, already fantasizing about how, with a stronger physique, he could withstand even more and more insane mechanical modifications...
The last trace of doubt in Roy's heart completely disappeared.
Looking at the embryos on both sides of the passage, representing the limitless possibilities of his partners' future, a sense of pride and responsibility welled up within him.
"PhD,"
Roy's voice was firm and clear.
"Now that everything is ready, let's begin."
"It starts with me."
