After the Rocks Pirates defeated the great pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion, the whole world was shocked.
With the help of the World News, news reports about the Rocks Pirates and the new bounty warrant spread throughout the ocean.
After everyone saw this report and the wanted order for the entire Rocks Pirates, a new wave of interest suddenly arose.
"These guys really became famous in one battle. The bounties on each of them are ridiculously high."
In the tavern, a man with a slicked-back hair, wearing a black suit, a black wool coat, a cigar in his mouth, a long horizontal scar on his face, an earring in his right ear, and a golden hook on his left hand was looking at the latest newspaper and the bounty order.
After reading the newspaper, the man placed ten wanted posters on the table.
Arrange them in order from left to right.
"Captain of the Rocks Pirates, Rocks, user of the Gravity Fruit, bounty of 1,298,880,000 Baileys. No matter if he lives or dies."
"Douglas Barrett, helmsman of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 1,088,000,000 Baileys, dead or alive."
"Poison Doctor Visa, the ship's doctor of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 895 million Baileys, life or death."
"Enryū, Jin, a leader of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 798 million Baileys, dead or alive."
"Hero, Gekko Moriah, a leader of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 323 million Baileys, dead or alive."
"Golden Ring, Ereda, the user of the Impact Fruit, bounty of 638 million berries, dead or alive."
"Ceratops, Sasaki, a leader of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 215 million Baileys, dead or alive."
"Long-legged Rose, the chef of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 110 million Baileys, dead or alive."
"Barboza, the military commander of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 556 million berries, life or death."
"Devil Sheriff, Lafitte, Navigator of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 93 million berries, dead or alive."
"Long-eared, Enelu, the user of the Nature-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit, a trainee of the Rocks Pirates, with a bounty of 88 million Baileys. No matter if he lives or dies."
"Devil scientist, Vegapunk, a researcher of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 300 million berries, only for capture alive."
"Plague, Quinn, a researcher of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 210 million berries, only for capture alive."
"Weapons expert, Bacole, weapons expert of the Rocks Pirates, bounty of 190 million berries, capture alive only."
All members of the Rocks Pirates, whether they were members who had bounties two years ago or new faces who joined two years later, received high bounties.
They also went from being a small pirate group to a large pirate group overnight with a total bounty of over 5 billion Baileys.
This total bounty amount is only lower than the three veteran pirate groups on the sea now.
In a subtle way, the Rocks Pirates have become the fourth largest pirate force in this ocean.
Countless little pirates hoisted their sails and set sail for the Grand Line, embarking on a journey to find the Rocks Pirates.
There are also many pirates who, with the ambition of defeating the Rocks Pirates and becoming famous in one fell swoop, have also embarked on a journey to find the Rocks Pirates.
Rocks ignored all the thoughts of the people on the sea regarding his own pirate group.
At this time, he was accompanying Vegapunk on a new research.
Three days have passed since Vegapunk joined the Rocks Pirates.
During these three days, Vegapunk did not spend time holding banquets. On the second day, he completely devoted himself to his research.
He continued to improve the bloodline factor technology he discovered through his own research, and then began to conduct in-depth research on devil fruits.
In order to better understand the relationship between devil fruits and the human body, he directly asked Rocks to join his research, letting him serve as an observation subject and constantly record various information.
During these few days, Rocks gained a deeper understanding of his own devil fruit abilities under Vegapunk's research.
As a result, he became more adept at using his abilities.
Lockes compiled this series of research into a detailed document and then handed it over to other members and cadres on the ship.
After reading Locke's report, almost everyone had different degrees of understanding.
Among them, the ones who benefited the most were Barrett and Jhin.
Jhin perfectly combines his own abilities with the innate abilities of his race.
This allowed his Pteranodon form, which was originally just an ancient form of the animal system, to evolve further, almost rivaling the abilities of some mythical beasts.
This greatly enhances Jhin's strength.
As for Barrett, after Bakel read Rocks' report and Vegapunk's research report, she directly began to tailor an invincible armor for Barrett.
She used her devil fruit ability, the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, to synthesize several powerful alloy materials.
Later, relying on his own technology, he created armor, which, after combining with Barrett, exerted terrifying combat power.
Both attack and defense have almost reached the top level.
Covered with Barrett's unique ghostly weapon, Bakel believed that there was almost no one in this sea who could defeat Barrett in a single fight.
She is just so confident.
Looking at the monster she created with her own hands, Ba Keer felt extremely proud.
"Oh, by the way, doesn't Vegapunk-chan have a technique that allows objects to eat devil fruits?"
"It seems that this armor can be further strengthened. If we find a powerful mythical beast, let the armor eat it, and then let Barrett-chan and the armor merge together."
"Wow! Barrett-chan, by then, wouldn't he be known as the strongest creature, a man who is invincible in single combat?"
Bako held her chin in both hands and looked at Barrett with burning eyes.
"No, I'm really looking forward to it! I have to personally create the world's strongest creature, and I must accomplish this achievement as soon as possible!"
Having said that, Bakel stood up, hurriedly left the laboratory, and walked towards the laboratory where Vegapunk was.
Barrett looked at Bakoer who left in a hurry and grinned.
After the fusion was resolved and the armor was separated, Barre especially mentioned how beautiful it was when he saw the armor transformed into a bracelet on his wrist.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that science and technology could achieve this level. Rocks is really right!"
At this time, in Vegapunk's laboratory, Rocks was playing with the pistol in his hand that had eaten the mythical beast Teng Snake Fruit.
Feeling the icy pistol in his hand, Rocks became more excited about the future when his sword An would eat the devil fruit.
"By the way, Dr. Vegapunk, do you have the ability to create a devil fruit?"
Suddenly, Rocks asked Vegapunk.
He recalled the ability of the mythical beast created by Vegapunk by copying Kaido's bloodline factor in the original work.
"Ah, if it's an animal type, I can make it. I don't have the ability to make the others yet."
Hearing Vegapunk's words, Locke suddenly became interested.
"Then if it is the ability of a mythical beast that was eaten by someone, can you also copy it?"
"Hahaha, if I have the other party's bloodline factor, I believe I can create it."
"Really? I understand. I'll find a way to bring it back."
Having said that, Rocks stood up and walked towards the laboratory door.
"Vegapunk-chan!"
Bako suddenly opened the door, rushed in and pounced on Vegapunk.
