The "Devil Fruit Illustrated Book", a special version provided by the government, cannot falsely claim to have recorded all devil fruits. This magical fruit is still full of mysteries to this day, and it is refreshed every year, with new and unprecedented fruits appearing.
What is currently certain is that the ability a living creature acquires through Devil Fruit is a process of genetic modification.
It was during the process of searching for true knowledge that Vegapunk accidentally studied the blood of ability users. After discovering this, he happened to develop bloodline factor technology, which is genetic modification technology.
The emergence of pacifists further proves that the abilities of espers are engraved deep in their genes.
To give a specific example, it is probably the same as the "X-gene" in "X-Men".
It's a mutated superpower.
But problems arise...
If it is a superpower that must be obtained through genetic modification, how to explain the "Devil Fruit Transfer Experiment"
Because of the unexpected discovery of blood factor technology, Vegapunk became extremely curious about ability users and decided to continue the experiment.
It happened that at this time, his experiment with Vince Mockaji was exposed, and the laboratory was shut down because of the government wanted. In order to continue the experiment, he decisively joined the World Government.
The latter believed that the use of blood factor technology to adjust biological genes was the most important research result, so he returned to Beihai and created an invincible clone army for himself by adjusting genes.
The two have since parted ways, with one concentrating on researching Devil Fruits and the other on developing genetic modification technology.
Ten thousand words are omitted here.
Vegapunk discovered a very special situation from the body of an animal type user.
With the same physique and the same consumption time, the cell activity of an animal-type ability user is several times or even dozens of times higher than that of other ability users!
Their vitality has become extremely strong, and they are simply not human!
Such an exaggerated vitality reaction made him couldn't help but complain, are animal devil fruits alive
A person with abilities is like eating a wild beast and the beast is still alive in his body.
Soon the rant turned into a flash of inspiration.
He boldly speculated that since eating animal devil fruits would give people such powerful vitality, could it be transferred to inanimate objects, such as steel knives, wooden tables, and plastic dolls
Even if it cannot be enhanced dozens of times like a living body, as long as it can move, it is a success, and it can prove the fact that animal devil fruits have vitality!
A very simple truth.
Nothing is rootless, and ability users also need to consume physical strength to use abilities.
In this case, why can animal-type ability users obtain such a massive amount of vitality out of thin air? There must be a source.
There must be something that I haven't discovered that plays a role in it.
And as we all know, he succeeded!
Items that gain animal fruit abilities are no longer dead objects, but "alive" and become a very different kind of devil fruit ability user.
A container that has the appearance of a dead thing, but is actually a Devil Fruit. The dead object provides the necessary host for the Devil Fruit, and then comes to life.
It is the Devil Fruit item that everyone is familiar with now.
The only pity is that dead things cannot think, let alone become stronger.
Therefore, such Devil Fruit items have lost their growth potential. What they will look like when eaten, and what they will look like forever. Apart from their research value, their combat effectiveness can only be said to be better than nothing, which is completely useless.
CP9 Chief Spandam has an elephant sword for self-defense for this reason.
But Vegapunk interest is skyrocketing!
Living creatures must be modified to acquire the ability to acquire genes, but dead creatures do not have genes that can be modified. There must be an answer to such contradictory characteristics!
Soon, and living up to his expectations, he successfully discovered the true secret of the Devil Fruit.
A special kind of life fluctuation!
This is the key point of everything!
Just as he thought, Devil Fruit does have vitality, that is, a living thing.
But their survival state is different from that of normal organisms, and this fluctuation is a reflection of their survival.
No matter what kind of devil fruit it is, there is this kind of life fluctuation. Different fruits have different wavelengths, and these different wavelengths determine the different abilities of Devil Fruits.
At the same time, he also discovered that the reason why humans mutate genetically after eating Devil Fruit is not to gain abilities. The emergence of Devil Fruit items has proven that this has nothing to do with genes.
It's just that in order to adapt to the existence of the Devil Fruit, the body follows its survival instinct and quickly changes under the influence of the Devil Fruit's special wavelength to provide it with a living space.
In other words, Devil Fruit is a very special parasite like the Styx Virus.
What the sea water and the Sea Tower Stone repel is not the esper, but the parasitic Devil Fruit fluctuations in the body of the esper.
It’s not science, it’s not magic, it’s not witchcraft, but it’s very piratey!
After understanding all this, Vegapunk began research in order to understand the secrets between wavelengths.
This was also when the Pacifist Project began.
As long as he has a genetic sample, he can extract the wavelength of the devil fruit hidden inside the human body through blood factor technology, and then graft it based on the sample.
The government took into account the chaos of the Great Pirate Age, and based on this, asked him to create a perfect war weapon to eliminate the Great Pirate Age.
However, the experiment quickly hit a bottleneck. Devil Fruits are rare items after all, and there was no way he could study them in such large quantities.
However, this did not stump Vegapunk. Combined with the success of the previous Devil Fruit transfer experiment, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
What should I do if I don’t have enough food
Of course it’s a species!
Dig a hole, bury some soil, and add a few 12345...
He wants artificial devil fruits!
Now that the secret of Devil Fruit's fluctuations has been discovered, is it possible to artificially create Devil Fruit
It is just the fruit formed by a special kind of life fluctuation.
There is no doubt that this is a plan of extreme genius and extreme madness!
And it worked!
Vegapunk created the famous "sad", an artificial devil fruit, based on reverse derivation of the existence form of Devil Fruit, that is, the "shell" of those strange-shaped fruits with spiral patterns, and combined with Caesar's talent in biology. raw material.
And because the wavelengths of the animal system have one thing in common, they can provide abundant vitality for living things, so the two chose to simulate the wavelength of the animal system to ensure the success rate of planting.
"So...you came to me today because you finally couldn't help but attack the nature system?"
Navy headquarters, in Ron's office.
The two sat opposite each other, each with a cup of hot tea in front of him.
Hearing this, Vegapunk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Of course not, my research on the life wavelength of Devil Fruit is not perfect, and so far, only the wavelength of animal Devil Fruit can support their growth and fruition."
"Then you mean that superhuman and natural elements cannot be transferred to items?"
"Judging from the current technology, it is indeed impossible. But I think this is determined by the characteristics of different wavelengths. Only the animal system meets the requirements... Uh, General Canglong, if you need anything, I think I can Let me give you a try.”
Vegapunk knew the status of the man in front of him within the government, so he had to carefully figure out his thoughts.
Hearing this, Ron shook his head.
"Forget it, you have so many things going on. If I make a request now, the Five Old Stars will definitely cause trouble for me."
In other words, as long as I'm free, I still have to give it a try for you, right
The corners of Begapunk's mouth twitched and he smiled awkwardly.
Ron took out his cigar and lit it.
"As a navy, it is my honor to serve the government! No need to mention the reward!"
Are you the only one talking? ! !
Vegapunk: "..."
Is this a hint
This is definitely a hint, right? !
"By the way, you just said... prismarine?"
When the conversation got down to business, Vegapunk put down his cup and nodded.
"That's right!"
"Because of the speculation report you submitted, the Five Old Stars attach great importance to Orric's fruit ability, so they hope that I can find a way to restrain ability users through research on sea floor stones."
"As for prismarine, as an associated mine of sea floor stone, there is no doubt that it has great reference value!"
