Chapter 282 Detecting Bloodline Factors
Vic's voice was firm and confident, which could bring people an infinite sense of security. Wendy felt that Vic's hand on her head was warm and large, as if it could block all the cold and gloom.
Wendy's tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks. The huge, dark and terrifying figure of the aunt gradually faded from her mind. The sun shone through the dispersed dark clouds, and the earth became bright again.
Dr. Yuejian and Kuleha were both shocked by Vic's words. They never expected that Vic would agree without hesitation!
They know that Wick is not ignorant and fearless. Big Mom is on the same level as Kaido, and at this stage, Big Mom's deterrent power may be even stronger.
They have all seen the news about the battle between Vic and Kaido. Vic has seen how strong Kaido is. After seeing such a strong man, he could still agree without hesitation. This shows Vic's courage. Many people would have their hearts broken after seeing it once, and would never have the courage to resist again.
Just like Doflamingo, he himself is the owner of the Conqueror's Haki, but he trembles with fear when he hears that Kaido is going to cause trouble for him.
He has naturally witnessed how powerful Kaido is, so he cannot muster the courage to resist. This shows how strong the oppression of the Emperor of the Sea is. Only ignorant people and those who are truly courageous can talk about them without changing their expressions.
Dr. Tsukimi and Kuleha both recognize that Vic is a man who is willing to risk his life for his companions. Although Vic has not yet fought, his eyes cannot deceive people, and he is definitely not just talk.
The fact that Vic came here without giving up even though he didn't know whether Wendy's disease could be cured (Vic really didn't know whether Kuleha could cure Wendy's disease, but Drum Island was indeed the most promising place, and Vic didn't give up this glimmer of hope) shows how reliable Vic is.
"Doc! I need your help with something. Let's go upstairs and talk!"
Vic took back his hand from Wendy's head, stood up and said to Dr. Yuejian, Vic is indeed not afraid of Big Mom, but now his fighting power is indeed not as good as Big Mom. If he wants to improve his strength faster before that day comes, he must speed up his plan.
"Okay, let's go upstairs and talk!"
Dr. Yuejian was already very grateful to Vic, as he had saved his life not long ago. Now Vic's character was recognized by him. As long as Vic could do something, he would never refuse.
Wendy didn't know why Vic was looking for this hairless old man, but she kept hearing Vic calling him Doctor, so he must be a scientist or something.
She couldn't understand how this doctor could help Vic. He just looked like an old man who was powerless. But she didn't say anything. Vic had his own reasons.
Kuleha knew Dr. Yuejian's identity, but she didn't think the old man could help Vic in any way.
"Doctor! Have you done any research on bloodline factors?" Vic asked directly when they arrived on the second floor. There was a question he needed to confirm.
"Bloodline factors! I have indeed studied this before, but this is not my specialty.
It was also several years ago when Vegapunk's MADS team published their bloodline factor theory in the news that I was curious and went to verify it.
Vegapunk is indeed a genius scientist. No one had ever paid attention to bloodline factors before. It was he who opened the door to this microscopic world."
Dr. Tsukimi has great respect for Vegapunk, but what he doesn't know is that Vegapunk has read all of O'Hara's books and knows a lot about ancient technology.
You don't know whether his research is based on those theories or his own genius invention, but with his Brain-Brain Fruit and his own top-notch brain, he can verify or realize even a speculation he sees. It can only be said that the theoretical science of this world limits his brain.
"That's great, Doctor, do you know the effect of devil fruits on bloodline factors?"
Vic was a little surprised. He had originally asked with the attitude of giving it a try. He knew that Dr. Yuejian was a scientist who studied intelligent robots, and it was completely unknown whether he had any knowledge of bloodline factors. Now that he heard that Dr. Yuejian had verified it, the doubts in his heart could be confirmed.
If it was before the fight with Zero, he would have gone to Sky Island to Bica without hesitation, found the Thunder Fruit and ate it directly.
It is unknown when the aunt's son's wedding will be held, and Vic is under a lot of time because he needs to continue to improve his strength in a short period of time.
Eating another super-powerful nature-type devil fruit would be the fastest way to steadily improve his strength, but thinking of what Zero said about the ancient stone tablet, he became a little unsure.
If being able to swim after eating a devil fruit is a special phenomenon of the devil fruit, then if he rashly eats another one now, he might explode directly, and that is not what Victor wants.
So Vic needs to verify it from a scientific point of view. He knows that the devil fruit is a factor that changes the human bloodline, so he would ask Dr. Yue Mi for help at such a time.
"Yes, I have done some comparative experiments on the bloodline factors of people with special abilities and ordinary people in the West Sea.
The Devil Fruit does change the bloodline factor of the human body. On the surface, the Devil Fruit changes the bloodline factor, but in essence, it prolongs the fragment of the bloodline factor.
But I haven’t discovered how those extended segments affect the body of the person with special abilities. I guess only Vegapunk’s team has made some progress in this regard!”
Dr. Yuejian looked a little regretful. It was unclear whether he had not seen the secret of the extended segment, or he regretted not being able to apply this ability to his own intelligent robot.
"That's enough, Doctor! I just need to know whether my bloodline gene contains that extra fragment. No other in-depth research is necessary!"
Vic was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this trip to Magnetic Drum Island would solve several problems at once, allowing him to obtain the Thunder Fruit much earlier.
He had originally planned to wait until he was leading the warship alone before making another trip to Sky Island, as he would have more free time at that time.
"Vic! Don't you know if you've ever eaten a devil fruit?"
Dr. Yuejian was speechless. How could anyone not know whether he had eaten a devil fruit or not? The taste would be remembered for a lifetime. Although he had never eaten it, he had seen pigs run.
"Doctor, I don't know if I have ever eaten a devil fruit. I was too young at that time and my memory is not clear.
I just remember when I was a kid, I was playing at the beach and I picked up a very strange-looking fruit. I took a bite out of curiosity and it tasted so disgusting that I almost vomited my breakfast!"
Vic had a look of disgust at the memories, but of course the memories were fake, he knew very well whether he had eaten the devil fruit or not, the disgust was real, he still remembered the taste, but he couldn't tell the truth yet, Vic could only say sorry to Dr. Yue Mi in his heart.
"Then you can check whether you have any special abilities now? Or see if you can still swim in the sea? These can reflect whether you have eaten a devil fruit!"
After all, Dr. Tsukimi is not a specialist in devil fruits, and can only judge based on common sense that everyone knows.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard there's a devil fruit called the Yomiuri Fruit. Eating it won't give you any special abilities, except the inability to swim.
The ability of this fruit can only be activated after the ability user dies, allowing the ability user to come back to life, which is equivalent to having an extra life.
And I heard that in ancient times, some people ate devil fruits and could swim. These cannot completely determine whether someone has eaten a devil fruit. Only bloodline factors are the most accurate and safest way to judge!"
The Yomiuri Fruit that Victor talked about is indeed like this, and the following part is also adapted based on Zero's statement. It is not pure nonsense, but can only be said to be a reasonable extension.
"Is there such a magical devil fruit? I've never heard of it before, and you've heard of a lot of things. How come I've never heard of these?
And why do you have to test the bloodline factor now? With your strength, it's okay even if you don't eat the devil fruit! The key is that there is no equipment to test the bloodline factor here, this is the biggest problem!"
Dr. Yuejian came to Magnetic Drum Island to find the famous doctor here to understand the mechanism of human movement. His robot is not perfect yet, and it walks very stiffly, and it is obviously a robot at first glance.
He is also a scientist who pursues perfection, so he came to the medical powerhouse Magnetic Drum Island to learn more. It is impossible for him to come here from afar with equipment.
