Given Zesi ' current strength, he shouldn't need to pursue a second Devil Fruit.
But Zesi knew the drawbacks of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Even though he has been very careful over the years, he still has many hidden injuries from constant battles.
It's fine now, but what about when we're old?
Even if you notice these hidden injuries, there's always a way to heal them.
But now that I'm older, will I still be able to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit like I do now?
The World Government is not yet able to deal with him, but they will probably wait until he grows old and weak.
Even without World Government, there are countless ambitious individuals waiting on the high seas for him to grow old and weak.
Therefore, Zesi felt that the second ability was very necessary.
I don't want to be bullied by others one day.
They were even less willing to see their own powerful dynasty collapse because of them.
This is why, when the Academy of Sciences was established, Zesi had them begin researching Devil Fruit.
To investigate why a person cannot eat two Devil Fruit.
If it were another Devil Fruit.
Even if it were a Logia Devil Fruit, or even the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Zesi wouldn't care.
Even the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's attack power might not be comparable to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
So even if he were given a Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it wouldn't necessarily increase his strength.
But the More-More Fruit is different.
The More-More Fruit can directly increase attack speed and attack power by a factor of two.
If he eats the Momo- More-More Fruit More-More Fruit and uses its power...
It could increase the attack power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit by several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times.
With his current strength, let alone increasing it a hundredfold.
Even a several-fold increase is remarkable, it's terrifying.
Think about when he drew his sword using the Azure Dragon's Roar: Sword Draw.
Then use the More-More Fruit, Hundredfold Bullet.
To what extent will its power increase?
Zesi was very interested in this.
But the problem now is, how do we solve the issue that one person cannot consume two Devil Fruit?
With that in mind, Zesi set off for the Academy of Sciences.
The question of Devil Fruit should be left to the Academy of Sciences.
"In other words, the reason why a person cannot consume two Devil Fruit is because after consuming Devil Fruit, Devil Fruit will genetically modify the human body. If two Devil Fruit are consumed, the genes will conflict, leading to genetic collapse and death?"
Upon arriving at the Academy of Sciences, Zesi sought out scientists such as Vinsmoke Judge.
Ask them about Devil Fruit.
"That's about right. However, the relationship between them is probably more complicated. We're only doing preliminary research because we lack Devil Fruit as research subjects, so we can only study it to this extent for now," Vinsmoke Judge said. Since the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, the study of Devil Fruit has been a very important research project.
One area of research in Devil Fruit studies involves the consumption of multiple Devil Fruit.
With the support of the Azure Emperor Pirates, they received substantial financial backing.
In addition Vinsmoke Family already had some research on Lineage Factor.
Therefore, some progress has already been made.
There has already been some analysis regarding the effects of Devil Fruit on humans.
According to the Academy of Sciences' preliminary research on Devil Fruit.
This Devil Fruit is like an extremely special kind of gene-enhancing drug.
After ingestion, it will affect and modify the body's genes.
This allows people to gain Devil Fruit abilities.
Of course, Devil Fruit are not just about gene-enhancing drugs.
However, its effects on the human body are similar to those of gene-editing drugs.
These are all modifications to the human genome.
Therefore, if someone eats two Devil Fruit, the genetic modifications of the two Devil Fruit will conflict with each other.
This can lead to genetic breakdown and death.
"Is there any way to solve this problem?" Zesi asked.
"This aspect can be studied through Lineage Factor. If we can develop a gene serum that can enhance genetic compatibility, it might be possible to solve the problem. However, this Vice Admiral require a lot of time. But what we lack most right now is research materials, Devil Fruit."
"I will increase funding for the Academy of Sciences. As for the materials, we will have the Shichibukai help with the search. Judge, you will personally oversee this research; I need results as soon as possible!"
Zesi said.
"Yes, I will do my best to study this project!"
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The situation in the New World has remained largely unchanged over the past two years.
Bullet continued to monitor Kaido.
This prevents the Beasts Pirates from supporting the Big Mom Pirates.
In Totto Land, Shanks is still fighting against the Big Mom Pirates.
Two years ago, Shanks could only barely hold off Big Mom. It was only after Kuma and his Big Mom Pirates that Big Mom was forced to retreat.
However, two years later, Shanks' strength had increased dramatically.
Shanks is now completely at ease against Big Mom.
They've even been dominating Big Mom lately.
Therefore, the Big Mom Pirates were repeatedly defeated and forced to retreat.
If it weren't for the Shichibukai established by the World Government, who were helping the Big Mom Pirates fight against Shanks and his crew...
It seems Totto Land has already taken over Shanks.
In addition, the various Azure Emperor Pirates are also developing rapidly.
With the expansion of the Azure Emperor Pirates, the Azure Emperor Territory now covers more than half of the New World.
And they expanded towards the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Blues.
Relying on the influence of these Shichibukai, many countries that were dependent on the Azure Emperor Territory also emerged in the first half of the Grand Line.
Its influence extends far and Four Blues.
The Azure Emperor Pirates have now become the second largest political group after the World Government.
Rapid development in various economic, military, and technological fields.
Zesi has successfully developed the mobile phones and computers that he requested to be researched.
Mobile phones have become increasingly common in the Azure Emperor Territory.
The only time that displeased Zesi.
We've hit a bottleneck with the development of Devil Fruit compatibility potions.
The main reason is the lack of research materials.
It's important to know that each experiment in this research requires the consumption of two Devil Fruit.
Even a behemoth like the Azure Emperor Pirates couldn't support such research.
"It seems that Blackbeard is an indispensable experimental subject if we want to complete this research!" Xi said.
