This is the conclusion that Ji Xing came to quickly after reading the artificial devil fruit research materials.
This did not surprise him, because combined with Vegapunk's research results, swords can also eat Devil Fruits and have Devil Fruit abilities, and swords are dead objects, and living things can only be Devil Fruits, otherwise where would they come from?
intelligence?
This is highly similar to a demon, but the difference is that Devil Fruit is not circular DNA, but double-stranded DNA that is highly similar to humans.
As we all know, there are copies of genes in human cells, which contain 20,000 genes and 3 billion pieces of genetic information, all composed of the DNA letters ATCG in various arrangements.
In the later stages of Kexue World, Ji Xing and Xiao Ai's research results were able to accurately find a certain gene among the billions of genes in the human body and carry out targeted modifications.
If they want, they can accurately eliminate all disease recessive genes for a baby before he is born, and arbitrarily make the child have double eyelids, big eyes, a face with oval seeds...create an embryo that is beyond ordinary, a handsome boy and a beautiful girl.
, beyond ordinary healthy body.
However, because it is contrary to human ethics and can easily cause social problems, these results are temporarily sealed by them like A medicine.
There are people in the pirate world who have mastered this technology - Germa 66. Gaji's five children, including Sanji, were all genetically edited while they were in their mother's body, that is, bloodline factor editing, and obtained
Superhuman strength.
The Devil Fruit is more like a sci-fi super genetic medicine. After eating it, the gene editing is completed immediately and the mutations are merged, giving people the ability of the Devil Fruit.
Among the three types of devil fruits, the similarity between animal type fruits and human genes is between 70% and 90%, the superhuman type is basically only 30% to 50%, and the natural type is only about 10%. It is not surprising that artificial devil fruits are all genetically similar.
It's animal type.
"This technology is somewhat like the SP drug of Behemoth in the one-man world...it's just an imitation. Calling it an artificial devil fruit is actually a bit gilded."
Compared to real Devil Fruits that have 'life', Smile is just a medicine, a dead thing. It is not impossible for Ji Xing to develop it independently.
"Is it easy to cause gene mutations such as ANK3, CNCNA1C... and cause emotional deficiencies... The main body is the blood factor of the ability person...
Oh, the skin of this devil fruit is actually just like a capsule, while SAD is..."
Come to think of it, Caesar didn't think anyone besides himself could understand these things, so Ji Xing successfully memorized the method of producing artificial devil fruits in his mind before looking at other things.
"Huh? The genetic structure of the real Devil Fruit also contains many genes that affect human emotions. I'm afraid this is not a coincidence..." Ji Xing, who was reading, quickly discovered a doubt.
"Although this structure has never been seen before...but it doesn't look like the result of natural compilation selection..."
"Is it really a product of technology?"
Ji Xing thought of the two steel giants who took him to Mariejoia: "How high is the technological level of the destroyed kingdom..."
He continued to compare the genetic profiles of people before and after taking Devil Fruit, and gained a lot of knowledge that might be useful to him.
In the Demon Continent, his body also got together with Xiao Ai to study these things.
…
On the other side, after receiving Ji Xing's call, Navy G-5 Base Vice Admiral Vergo mobilized warships as quickly as possible and rushed to Punk Hassad.
As Doflamingo's retainer, he was originally a pirate and has been in the Navy for 17 years. He was promoted to lieutenant general and transferred to the Navy's G5 base two years ago. It was also from that time that Caesar had a protective umbrella and researched
He was even bolder, and there were people who kept the secrets of catching children. Gradually, artificial devil fruits and other achievements were made, which benefited Doflamingo a lot.
Now it is an important puzzle piece for the Doflamingo family and cannot be destroyed inexplicably. However, the island's protective power is actually not weak. Even he has to be careful to deal with Caesar's poisonous gas troops. It can be broken by the opponent, and even
Caesar has fallen into the opponent's hands. The intruder is obviously not weak and not an easy person.
Out of caution, after the warship set sail, he hid in the cabin and used an anti-eavesdropping phone bug to contact Doflamingo: "Young Master..."
After receiving Doflamingo's instructions, he asked his subordinates to bring snacks and tasted them slowly, waiting for the voyage to proceed.
In the evening, the warship arrived.
He led a team of naval officers to quickly head towards the research base, and ordered: "The situation in the base is not clear yet. You will surround and block all exits later, and I will go in by myself. Don't relax your vigilance because of the other party's one-sided words, in case something happens
If you lie to me, you will drag me down and wait for my news."
He did it for the convenience of movement, but the uninformed naval officers were very moved: "Vice Admiral Vergo! This is too dangerous!"
"Let's go in and have a look first!"
"Didn't you understand what I said? You are not strong enough, and you are not able to deal with the guys who can break into the research base." Vergo said.
Gained more looks of admiration.
So he was able to enter the research base alone and march all the way to Caesar's laboratory.
The stab wounds on some of the base guards who fell to the ground made him look slightly sideways, and murmured to himself: "The intruder is a swordsman, alone."
Instead of waiting to go to Caesar's laboratory, as soon as he entered Area C, he found the person he was looking for in the lounge.
Five ordinary people, four men and one woman, sitting in the corner, had strange expressions when they saw themselves, showing both pain and relaxation?
But that was not important. He looked at the unconscious Caesar who was locked in the corner by the sea tower stone, and the strange young man sitting in the center with a sword on his waist.
He looks to be in his early 20s, wearing gray clothes and a white cloak. He is tall and seems to be very powerful, but he has an unfamiliar face.
He asked in a deep voice: "Were you the one who made the previous call to the G5 base?"
Ji Xing's mind was temporarily separated from the research materials, and he also looked ahead at the tall and strong lieutenant general wearing a plaid coat and sunglasses.
"Mr. Lieutenant General is finally here." Ji Xing nodded and said, "It was me who made the call."
"You said that Caesar is conducting some illegal experiments? I need to make some necessary confirmations."
He walked over to Caesar, leaned over, and gave Caesar a gentle slap. Caesar instantly woke up from his not-so-deep coma, his eyes confused and focused.
Seeing Vergo's face, he looked ferociously proud and let out a weird laugh.
"Hey, hey, hey, you finally..."
"You're finally here." Ji Xing interrupted: "Hurry up and catch that reckless kid. I'm going to conduct my latest poison gas experiment on him. How dare you kick me in the face...Caesar, you are
That’s what you meant to say, right?”
Caesar paused, his eyes bulging.
"You, how did you know?!"
Vergo squinted and straightened up, then looked at Ji Xing.
The five Fericos looked at each other in confusion, what does this mean? The Vice Admiral... is one of our own? We can be saved?! No... the rhetoric just sounded so familiar, as if it was something we had before...
Sure enough, Ji Xing signaled them and said: "Don't get me wrong, that's not a prediction of the future, but my guess about your thoughts. You guys always pull one by one like this, endlessly, always thinking that the next patron will be the savior.
.Let’s skip the boring part in the middle and just look at the results.
I am Holo. The famous "Unknown Swordsman" appeared in the news a year ago. Don't hide the dialed phone number in Mr. Lieutenant General's sleeve. Let me see who is behind you. Is there anyone behind you?
I can’t afford to offend people.”
The unknown swordsman...is he the guy who killed the white lion?! Vergo's pupils condensed.
Caesar felt something was wrong: "What, what? This guy is very famous?!"
Opposite the phone bug in Vergo's sleeve, Doflamingo, who was in Dressrosa, had been waiting to know the identity of the attacker. Hearing Ji Xing's words, his heart sank.
How could it be this guy?!
Because of the blasphemer Dunan, he has kept a very low profile during this period. He did not even take advantage of the lack of people in the human trade business to intensify the business of the Tianlong people. As a result, there is no light in the east and light in the west. People at home are in trouble from the sky. Holo, this
Humans are also one of the top monsters in the sea, and they are also very difficult to deal with.
What's more important is that he and the red-haired Yonko are good friends, and I'm afraid he won't give Kaido face!
Why would he appear in a place like Punk Hassad? Why him?!
Although his face was extremely gloomy, he still burst into laughter: "Fufufufufu--who am I talking about? It turns out to be the famous Chief Sheriff of Tidal Island, the newly-promoted world's greatest swordsman.
I am King Shichibukai Doflamingo, have you heard of my name?"
The news of the replacement of the world's greatest swordsman did not spread widely. Doflamingo quietly showed his intelligence ability, but Ji Xing just laughed and said: "Why is it the King Shichibukai again? I and Shichibukai are pretty good
Destined."
Vergo took out a silver phone bug from his sleeve. The phone bug had a funny look on its face, imitating Doflamingo perfectly: "Destined? You seem to be talking about more than just Hawkeye? Yes, it's a sand crocodile, right? I
I feel that things in Alabasta are a bit weird. If you add your presence, it would make sense. It turns out that Crocodile fell into your hands. It was not unjust."
The world's greatest swordsman? Caesar's face was as white as paper. He tried his best to shrink behind the tall Vergo and whispered: "Hey, Dover..."
"Caesar, don't talk too much. I have long wanted to get to know the new world's greatest swordsman. I didn't expect to be in such a scene. What, after you captured Crocodile, did you want to control him again?
My idle business? The greatest swordsman in the world."
"I went to Alabasta just for a trip. I was also very worried about what happened with Crocodile." Ji Xing smiled and said, "I also went to Shannon Island for a trip, but I thought your people were catching children there.
, maybe I have a nosy constitution.”
"I see." Doflamingo lowered his eyes and said, "Then...can you give me some face? Just pretend that you have never seen such a thing."
"I'm afraid that won't work."
"That's it, fufufufu-" Doflamingo chuckled and was silent for a while: "Virgo, it seems that I'm going to wrong you for a while. Caesar, please keep your mouth shut."
The phone hung up like crazy.
He didn't even pull Kaido out!
For such a monster, threats from the air are meaningless. It is better to hide them and maybe increase the chances of solving trouble.
"Asshole..." After encountering this kind of thing inexplicably, Doflamingo was a little confused about where to vent his anger. With a low curse, he broadcast another number: "Lord Kaido, Smile's manufacturing base is in big trouble...
…”
Soon, Kaido's roar came from the other side: "What?! That bastard who kidnapped my son and sent him to Whitebeard's ship! I haven't caused trouble for him yet, and he has come to cause trouble for me again?!"
As for Punk Hassard, looking at the hung up phone bug, Caesar looked blank: "Asshole—Dover, you bastard, what do you mean..."
Boom——
The fist shrouded in armed color hit his head hard, knocking him unconscious. Vergo clenched a black fist as big as a sandbag and looked at Ji Xing.
"Why, Mr. Lieutenant General, you want to test whether my knife can cut through your iron block?" Ji Xing said with a smile.
Vergo closed his eyes, and the armed look on his fists slowly faded away. He understood what the young master meant, and knew that his 17-year undercover career, after finally climbing to the top, was about to be interrupted.
"No, let it slide," he said.
Ji Xing nodded: "Then take him, let's go out and be frank with your subordinates."
"good."
"You five, follow me too."
The five Fericos were in a dream. The Vice Admiral turned out to be one of their own, but the guy who captured the child turned out to be the world's greatest swordsman. The Vice Admiral didn't even resist him and ran away.
Not even running?!
They no longer gave any hope, and followed with a smile: "Yes! Yes!"
Soon, shouts from the navy were heard outside: "What did you say?! That's impossible!"
"Lieutenant General Vergo! If you are threatened, just blink your eyes!"
"Damn you guy! I'll fight you!"
…
Naval Headquarters, Marineland.
Due to the incident of the Blasphemer Dunant, the Navy Headquarters has been very busy recently.
Almost without any regard for face, they publicized the night attack on Marie Gioia and issued a reward of 5 billion for the blasphemer Dunant. Even the report had exaggerated benefits. The World Government just wanted to use thunder to get rid of the blasphemer.
Restore your prestige!
But half a month passed, and there was no progress at all. It was about to become a bigger joke, and many people were anxious.
The Tianlong people put pressure on the Five Old Stars, and the Five Old Stars put pressure on the Warring States Period. The Warring States Period could only work hard and put a little pressure on the generals.
Even the elderly Navy Chief Staff Officer He has had very little rest in recent days. He is analyzing some intelligence information and looking for useful things from a lot of messy information.
Although the vast majority of people applaud the blasphemous act of killing the Celestial Dragons, there are always all kinds of birds in the forest, and there are also many people who want to try their luck for the bounty.
These acts of chance have also added a lot of work to the Navy. Lieutenant General He is holding a document and reading: "Vera's ghost legend... There was a big pirate with a bounty of 200 million who mysteriously disappeared after landing... Vera
?..."
This is when a female lieutenant colonel staff officer suddenly pushed in the door with a phone: "Lieutenant General He! Urgent contact from the New World G5 branch!"
Lieutenant General He took the phone call and said, "This is the Navy Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General He."
"Hello, Lieutenant General He, I am Holo, the chief constable of Tide Island. I have something to report to the navy..."
Holo? The new world’s greatest swordsman?
Lieutenant General He was a little surprised, but when he heard Ji Xing's next words, he sighed slowly.
Artificial devil fruits, human enlargement experiments, Vergo turned out to be an undercover... Doflamingo is indeed a guy who refuses to settle down!
Before Doflamingo became a Shichibukai, the person chasing him all over the world was Crane, and he couldn't understand Doflamingo better.
It was during the chaos that something like this happened again, and He also had a headache, but the justice in her made her smile and said: "I know, this is the Navy's dereliction of duty. Thank you, Sheriff Jolo,
Thank you very much for your report. Please wait a moment, I will go find the Warring States Marshal."
Before leaving, her eyes hovered over the documents on the table: "Punk Hassad... seems to be very close to Vera, only three or four days' flight away?"
Soon, the news delivered by Ji Xing was known to the Warring States Marshal and passed on to Wulaoxing.
The five old stars have been exhausted physically and mentally these past few days. In the past eight hundred years, generation after generation, the five old stars have never been as derelict in their duties as the five of them.
Hearing that Doflamingo was still causing trouble, the five of them were furious again.
"This restless bastard!"
"Didn't the man-made Devil Fruit fail? Even Vegapunk failed and started researching pacifists. Can Caesar Coulan succeed?!"
"It's probably some useless defective product..."
"What now?"
"Let the Navy escort the undercover Lieutenant General Vergo and Caesar Coulan back to the headquarters first. After this period of time is over, we will deal with Doflamingo!"
"Escaping a lieutenant general and Caesar Courant of the Natural Department. The navy is currently short of manpower. He made a suggestion..." Holy Golibacho said: "Let the Sheriff..."
"Yes, you still forgot about him. First he came into contact with the Devil's Son in Alabasta, and then he went to the New World? He's not safe anywhere!"
"But under the current situation, he is indeed a powerful combat force that can be fought for. We must be prepared to not find the blasphemer for a long time!"
In that case, the navy and the world government will have to face more top-notch combat forces, and as a free man, the world's greatest swordsman will be a guy who can affect the balance.
The five old stars looked at each other, and they all understood that the situation did not allow them to pursue the small matter of contact with the devil's son. They breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Do what He said, let's see what he thinks first, whether he is willing to do something for the Navy and the World Government.
More things..."
"The swordsman's lethality is enough to deal with the blasphemers. Maybe there will be a time when he is really needed..."
…
Soon, Punk Hassard.
Ji Xing heard the Warring States Marshal on the other side of the phone say a little tiredly: "I'm sorry, Holo. You must be aware of the incident of the Blasphemer Dunan Isbadry. The Navy is very busy during this period and there really is no manpower to go to it."
Escort Vergo Caesar.
Can I trouble you a little more? Transfer them to Vera, a three-to-four-day voyage, and a Navy vice-admiral will be there to meet them."
Ji Xing thought for a while: "Vera?"
The island of Punk Hassad is not far from the entrance to the New World, while Vera is the end of the paradise. The two islands are indeed very close, and they are in the center between Punk Hassad and the Navy Headquarters.
Too busy because of Dunant?
Haha, then please help me, just in time to wait for Doflamingo and Kaido's reaction.
It was inconvenient to take the initiative this time, because we had to give the impression that he came to Punk Hassad by chance, rather than a premeditated attack.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "No problem. Anyway, I'm just wandering around the world without any purpose."
Warring States breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "Thank you... and one more thing. We received an ambiguous report. There is a ghost legend in Vera. There used to be big pirates with a bounty of more than 200 million.
There are mysterious disappearances on the island, and it is suspected that this may be related to the blasphemer Dunan.
However, we have received dozens of similar information, and it is probably something else. If you are interested, please help confirm it. Of course, if you don’t want to cause trouble, you can also refuse."
The ghost legend of Vera?
Ji Xing turned around in his mind and said, "Okay, since I'm on my way, I can go and have a look..."
"Then it's hard on you. It's obviously a well-intentioned report, but it makes you do more things. The World Government will give you adequate compensation afterwards."
The voice of Warring States on the opposite side became darker: "In addition, if you really find traces of the blasphemer Dunan, please be sure to inform the navy!"
