Chapter 838: Ultimate Perfection
...
"Just tell me what you think, Dr. Vegapunk. Since you said you came here for something serious, you must have a clear direction. Tell me and see if there is anything I can do to help you."
"That's the captain."
Vegapunk continued.
"When I was researching artificial devil fruits before, I found that only animal-type devil fruits could be replicated, but it was difficult and the probability of defective products was very high. It was very common to have a "bull head and a horse mouth". At that time, I conducted more than 10,000 groups of experiments at the same time in the Naval Scientific Research Department. In the end, only one group of experiments successfully replicated the mythical beast Qinglong fruit that Kaido ate. But even the successful group produced an imperfect "defective product" with a huge bug of unstable color."
?
Not only can they plunder the devil fruits eaten by people with special abilities, but they can also directly create mythical beasts? ?
Ace felt his scalp tingling. The more he listened, the more hopeless his life seemed. He thought to himself that he should not have chosen to stay!
"Yeah, you mentioned this to me before when I asked you to make a few more Fish-Fish Fruits. It's a pity, otherwise we could give each Seraph one."
Captain Gel was filled with regret for not being able to gather all the seven-colored dragons.
"Yes, I have to say that the power of the devil fruit is very practical. Whether it is the natural type, the superhuman type, or even the most ordinary animal type, it can greatly enhance the overall strength of the Seraphim!"
"Wow, do you want all Seraphim to become esper users? Vegapunk."
"No no no!"
Vegapunk shook his head vigorously.
"I've already said it before, Seraphim are the strongest creatures on land, sea and air. If they become ability users, they will have more weaknesses like fear of seawater and seastone. It's not worth it!"
"Well, that makes sense, do you have any other ideas?"
At this point, Gel had already guessed what Vegapunk might want to do, but he still asked with a little expectation.
"Actually, what I first thought of was that you, Captain, said before that your 'God's Hands' can touch the energy of devil fruits. So when the power user dies and the energy of the devil fruit has not completely dissipated, sometimes you can grab some of the power. But you also said that this process is very random, and the power obtained is not only incomplete, but also has both good and bad qualities."
"So, my new idea is this. First, extract the bloodline factor of the ability user and replicate it. But it is not used to make artificial devil fruits. Instead, it is used to create a high-purity devil fruit bloodline factor solution!"
"This way, Seraphim can temporarily obtain the corresponding Devil Fruit ability by injecting this solution into their bodies when they need to use the Devil Fruit ability! This way, they don't have to worry about becoming a power user with obvious weaknesses! It's a little complicated, I wonder if you can understand what I mean?"
"Of course, what's there to not understand? This captain is not an idiot."
Wait…I still don’t understand!
Ace opened his mouth and was about to ask a question, but after hearing what Gel said, he felt too embarrassed to ask.
"It's a very simple truth. After a user eats a devil fruit, the user has the bloodline factor of the devil fruit in their body. Conversely, when the bloodline factor of a certain devil fruit in the body reaches a certain concentration, it is equivalent to the user who ate the devil fruit."
Gel explained it to Ace in a concise and thoughtful manner.
"That's right! That's the principle. You are worthy of being Captain Gul! You are really suitable for scientific research! It took me a long time to come up with this method."
What a genius idea!
After Vegapunk finished speaking, he waited expectantly for Captain Gol's praise.
"What do you think, Captain?"
"I don't think it's that good!"
Ger was not interested.
"I was expecting you to come up with a better plan, but I didn't expect you to still use "green blood" after all this time?"
"Ah, this... green blood? Is it the name of the high-purity bloodline factor solution? The color of that solution is indeed fluorescent green. How did you know this... Captain? Uh... Could it be that someone has already done this?"
Vegapunk asked in surprise.
"Well, this... I don't know what color it is, I just named it randomly. I just saw a similar idea in an ancient document. After all, people with special abilities have been roaming the sea for hundreds or thousands of years. There are many scientists who are interested in devil fruits and have done research like you."
He accidentally let the secret slip, and Gel made up an excuse to deal with it.
"I see... So someone else had thought of this a long time ago, and I was so proud of it for so long... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Vegapunk touched his head and smiled awkwardly.
"They just covet the power of devil fruits. Since devil fruits are hard to come by, they try to obtain the power of the fruit through other means, which gives rise to such an idea."
"But they simply don't have the ability to realize it. But you are different, Doctor! You have science and technology that is 500 years ahead of the world in your head, so there is no need to be discouraged."
Ger comforted.
"Hahaha, I see. I was wondering how it is possible that I have never heard of such scientific and technological advances."
Vegapunk regained his spirits.
"Yeah, injecting green blood when you need to use the power of the devil fruit is indeed a good idea."
"but…"
Hearing that there was indeed a twist, Vegapunk and Ace quickly pricked up their ears.
Ger continued.
"An enemy that can force a Seraph to use the power of a devil fruit must be a very difficult one. In a battle of equal strength, victory or defeat is often decided in a split second. If you need to take out a syringe to inject and then wait for the liquid to enter the blood circulation to take effect, the enemy may not stupidly stand there and give you enough time to prepare. This is one reason."
"Secondly, while injecting green blood to gain abilities, there is still the obvious weakness of being afraid of seawater and seastone. Although it is only temporary, Seraphim can also judge whether to use green blood based on the specific combat environment and other factors to minimize the risk, but this cannot completely solve the problem."
"Captain, you must have thought of a more perfect solution! Tell us about it!"
"During the research and development phase, I must do my best to achieve perfection!"
Vegapunk can't wait to hear Captain Gill's opinions. As a rigorous scientist, Seraph is his current masterpiece and he must strive to make it perfect!
"The most perfect...?"
Gel frowned. He originally just wanted to decompose a few devil fruits to give Seraphim some abilities without side effects, which would be a good opportunity to clear out the stock of devil fruits in his hands.
But suddenly I was infected by Vegapunk's scientific research spirit of pursuing ultimate perfection, and I couldn't help but start thinking seriously.
Decomposition can only yield incomplete partial abilities, and the decomposition is completely random. For example, if an animal-type devil fruit fails to obtain the most valuable human-beast form, it would be a complete waste, so this is not a perfect solution.
"Snapped!"
"Have it!"
Captain Gel frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and had a bold idea in his mind!
