Chapter 413 Vegapunk's Research
It is not an exaggeration to say that all the naval generals of this era, except for the Iron Army soldiers, were trained by Zefa.
Gion, Hirosaka, Flying Squirrel, Onigumo and other naval officers who later became famous were all students of Zephyr.
Originally, Zefa was no longer willing to care about anything happening outside, and was wholeheartedly focusing on training a new generation of navy, and regarded this as his lifelong career.
Therefore, Zefa devotes all his love to every student and spares no effort to cultivate each and every one of them.
However, who could have imagined that Doflamingo and Aramaki would be so cruel as to attack the trainee warship he led and slaughter all his students.
From then on, Zefa was devastated. Whenever he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with his dead wife and children and the slaughtered students, which made him fall into a strong sense of self-blame, guilt, regret and powerlessness.
It was also at this time that a belief arose in Zefa's heart, and that was revenge.
At this moment, Zefa is no longer the general who never kills. He is just a man who wants to avenge his wife, children and students.
And revenge on the pirates has become Zephyr's belief in life.
But in the end, Lu Kai killed Huangmu, which made Zefa suddenly feel like a waste. Instead of being happy about it, he suddenly became extremely depressed.
Desperate Zephyr therefore completely resigned from his post as admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
Although at the request of the Warring States, Zefa still symbolically held a sinecure.
But in fact, he had already ignored everything and returned to his hometown, locking himself at home every day and refusing all visitors.
After the sound of the wine bottles falling to the ground and rolling in the room, there was no more movement inside, but Lu Kai's spatial perception let him know everything that happened inside.
In the dim room, Zefa stared at the photos of his wife and children with lifeless eyes. He seemed as if his soul had been sucked out and he did not move at all.
Moreover, only half a year had passed, and Zefa had become emaciated, like a walking corpse.
If Lu Kai had not been able to sense the situation inside and detect the breath inside, Lu Kai would even think that Zefa had died at home.
Lu Kai knocked on the door again, but Zefa remained motionless. Instead, he kept groping for the photos of his wife and children with his dead hands, which were inconsistent with his age. It was obvious that he was mentally abnormal.
Fate is unfair to Zefa.
He has helped countless people and defeated countless villains, but he couldn't even protect his beloved wife, children and cherished students.
The tragic deaths of his wife, children and students destroyed all of Zefa's will.
Luke only hopes that fate will stop destroying Zephyr, and that Doflamingo, the executioner who once slaughtered Zephyr's students, will no longer become a Shichibukai.
In the past six months, Luke had also tried to find Doflamingo's whereabouts, but perhaps because Doflamingo was scared or for some other reason, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that Zefa didn't open the door, Lu Kai could only sigh, put down the flowers and gifts in his hands, and turned away.
Lu Kai has always been grateful to Zefa.
Zephyr has been taking good care of Luke since he entered the Marine Headquarters. In the entire Marine Headquarters, besides Garp, the one who gives Luke the most guidance in combat is Zephyr.
Zefa, who had retreated to the second line at that time, even had the intention of cultivating Lu Kai as his spiritual sustenance.
Luke and Zefa had similar experiences. They were both righteous since childhood. They both joined the navy at the age of 14 and quickly made their mark.
Zefa's family was once brutally murdered by pirates, and Luke's family was almost robbed by pirates when he was 16 years old.
So Zefa has been doing his best to protect Lu Kai.
Zefa is not a person who is good at expressing his emotions, so he has never praised Lu Kai in person.
But the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Kai was bright, just like the one Cyborg had in the past.
And when Lu Kai was slandered and defamed by the outside world, Zefa also supported Lu Kai many times and firmly believed that Lu Kai was innocent.
Later, when Lu Kai was training the Iron Army, he asked Zefa for advice several times.
Zefa always explained things to Lu Kai patiently, and even wrote down all his experiences and methods of training soldiers into a thick book and gave it to Lu Kai.
So when Lu Kai saw Zefa in this situation, he felt extremely sad.
So Luke left a team of ten people in this town, asking them to guard the town and take care of Zefa as much as possible.
Then Lu Kai led the Mini Iron Army towards the Bank restricted area.
After seeing Vegapunk, Lu Kai almost didn't recognize him if it weren't for his huge head that looked like a hot air balloon.
Because Vegapunk now looks very sloppy and doesn't look like a scientist at all. He just looks like a homeless person.
After seeing Lu Kai and Fu Ya, Vegapunk immediately complained, "You guys are finally here. I'm going crazy. All kinds of inspiration keep popping up in my mind, but I don't even have time to organize them.
"I really wish I could clone myself. Fuya, come quickly and help me sort out the information."
Fuya immediately rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to serve as Vegapunk's assistant.
Vegapunk has had many assistants over the years, but he was not satisfied with any of them because no one could keep up with his ideas, so these assistants were eventually driven away one by one by Vegapunk.
Of all the people Vegapunk had met, Fuya was the only one who could barely keep up with his thinking, so as soon as he saw Fuya, Vegapunk immediately started to order her around.
Lu Kai said quietly, "Then you can create clones! You can make some robots, and then distribute your talents to them, and let them help you with research. Wouldn't that make the efficiency very high? Even if you have to put the research on hold, it's worth it."
Upon hearing this, Vegapunk stared at Lu Kai blankly, as if he was looking at a monster.
"Did I say something wrong?" Lu Kai was amused by Vegapunk's puzzled look and asked back.
"Right!" Vegapunk suddenly yelled, "Why don't I just create some clones to help me with the research? When there are more people, all the lagging research will be caught up quickly, or even faster.
"But how did you come up with such an inhuman idea?" Vegapunk still looked at Lu Kai with a strange look in his eyes.
Lu Kai thought to himself, "Isn't this all your own idea, you monster? I just told you in advance."
Vegapunk was a man with strong execution ability. He immediately suspended his research and began to use his own technology to create a clone for himself.
However, making a clone is not a matter of one day or one night, so Lu Kai didn't pay any attention to him. Instead, he walked to the large glass petri dishes and looked at the seven Seraphim with brown skin, white hair and black wings, as well as the familiar faces. Lu Kai felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Especially when he saw one of the Seraphim clones that looked just like himself in his childhood, Lu Kai felt strange emotions.
According to the original development, Seraph would not be fully developed until 24 years after the start of the Great Pirate Era.
However, with Luke's repeated reminders and the help of Fuya's transfer fruit, the genius Vegapunk actually created the Seraph more than ten years ahead of schedule, skipping the research and development of the Pacifist and reaching the finish line in one step.
The so-called Seraph is a humanoid weapon without independent thoughts conceived by Vegapunk.
In Vegapunk's prediction, once the Seraphim are created, the strength of each one will become extremely powerful, because Vegapunk's research on the Seraphim is aimed at the direction of "the strongest human being".
Vegapunk's talent is unquestionable, but his research has always been gradual. Although there have been leaps, he was too confused to think of developing Seraphim before.
So strictly speaking, Vegapunk did not develop Seraph because of Lukai's reminder, but because he had this talent, but he just didn't think about it in this way before.
With Luke's reminder and a period of experimentation, with Vegapunk's talent, he would naturally be able to create a Seraph.
However, there are three difficulties in the research of Seraph. The first difficulty is to artificially create extraordinary bodies; the second difficulty is to make these bodies have the bloodline and abilities of the Lunaria clan; the third difficulty is to create green blood that can give these bodies the abilities of devil fruits, and let the green blood merge with these bodies.
At the beginning, at the suggestion of the Five Elder Stars, Vegapunk planned to create seven Seraphs based on the Seven Warlords of the Sea, first cloning the bodies of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and then fusing them with the blood of the Lunaria clan.
However, some of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are indeed unworthy of their titles. There are only four people who can truly satisfy Vegapunk, namely Hawkeye Mihawk, Sand Crocodile, the core member of the Divine Punishment member 'Golden Rooster' Moman, and the core member of the Divine Punishment, the giant crocodile alias 'Sandy'.
As for Moria and the other two Shichibukai, in Vegapunk's eyes they were nothing but people seeking fame and reputation. Their strength was not even worth it and they were not worthy of him wasting his time studying them.
Moreover, Vegapunk has always had the best material in his mind, and that is Luke. The world's strongest man is right in front of him, how can Vegapunk not be itchy?
Finally, after Vegapunk's repeated requests, the Five Elders, after careful consideration, agreed to Vegapunk's request to use Luke as a template to create one of the Seraphim. Although Luke was dissatisfied, he finally agreed.
In addition to Lukai, another template is Kaido, one of the former Four Emperors, known as the Beast King.
After Kaido was killed by Lukai, his body fell into the hands of the navy and was finally sent to the Bank restricted area.
As soon as he saw Kaido's body, Vegapunk's eyes lit up. Over the years, he had conducted a lot of research on Kaido's body and gained a lot.
In addition to Lukai and Kaido, another excellent material is Charlotte Linlin, who was once imprisoned in the sixth floor of Impel Prison.
