Saijo O Wazamono

"Declined Shichibukai' invitation?" Longinus whispered.

"A newcomer, not to mention getting an invitation from the government, has the audacity to actively refuse!" Ska said discontentedly, "Pirates are really some arrogant fools!"

"Arrogant is true, stupid is not so much." Longinus smiled, "I was planning to recruit a not too brutal pirate, but now it seems to be a failure!"

Ska nodded, "Compared to other new pirates, his crimes are indeed less. I also wonder why the government gave him such a high reward?"

Longinus secretly pondered that the World Government probably guessed what but do not want to voice out, intend to observe secretly.

But what they didn't expect was that Ace was too impatient and rushed headlong into the New World in less than half a year, catching them off guard.

Of course, for Longinus, none of this makes much sense, and the reason he is concerned about Fire Fist Ace is pure because of the other party's properties as a tool.

"Other than him, is there any news worthy of attention?" Longinus asked.

"Worth paying attention to ..." Ska pondered for a while and then said, "One is that the auction in Golden City is about to start, and it is said that there will be something very interesting, two is the news about the Saijo O Wazamono Ame no Habakiri, and three is ..."

"Wait, Saijo O Wazamono?" Longinus asked, quite surprised.

"It is said to be a treasure sword from the Wano." Ska paused and asked, "Do you remember the incident with the giant elephant Zou sixteen years ago?"

"Of course." Longinus nodded his head.

"Regarding the cause of that incident back then, in addition to the succession of the Wano, another point is the legendary 21 O Wazamono, Izumi Mori Kenzo!" Ska said.

"Some say that the sword was snatched by Apophis, others say that the sword fell into the hands of Hawkeye, but the reality is that Izumi Mori Kenzo never appeared."

Longinus nodded slightly; he was looking for that year, but the 21 O Wazamono is not very attractive to him, after a little search, and then gave up.

As for Hawkeye, it is even less likely to bother with that effort; whoever the fancy knife falls in the hands of a person, grab it.

"I guess, in fact, they brought out the Saijo O Wazamono Ame no Habakiri, after being discovered, only to lie about the O Wazamono Izumi Mori Kenzo. As for why not say it was Yubashiri, perhaps it is easier to be suspicious when it does not match the identity!"

Ska then said, "But they probably did not think, the news of the 21 O Wazamono as usual attracted a large number of strong people, in order to avoid the risk, they had to hide Ame no Habakiri."

"Of course, these speculations are actually meaningless." Ska slightly raised his chest; this reasonable speculation must add points in the heart of the chief!

The corners of Longinus' mouth twitched slightly, so you're saying all this, actually wanting to show off your analytical ability in front of me?

Seeing that the imagined appreciation did not come, Ska sighed, "The point is, someone found the Meito sword from the ruins of the Mokomo Dukedom!"

"Did the giant elephant Zou appear again?" Longinus asked.

"Yes." Ska nodded, "A number of people wanted to try their luck, but I did not expect to let them find it, after a fight, that Saijo O Wazamono fell into the hands of the Bloodsail Pirates."

"Bloodsail Pirates?"

"Just a small pirate group, their captain Bloodsail Harker also only 330 million berries reward."

This reward, indeed, is not too high in the New World.

Ska continued, "They are, right now, escaping in the direction of Gran Tesoro."

"Is it the intention to auction off the Saijo O Wazamono in the Absolute Neutral Zone?"

"It should be. Only, it's hard to say if they can even reach the neutral area alive."

...

After ending the conversation, Longinus did not go directly to his men but went to the scientific base under the deep sea.

Seemingly from the silver-white laboratory's future, the hands of Vegapunk in the pockets, lying in front of him, is a man with a spotted hat on his head.

For the arrival of Longinus, Vegapunk was not much surprised, only a slight nod of greeting.

"Doctor, how is his transformation going?" Longinus asked.

"It's still quite poor." Vegapunk's tone was calm, not chagrined by it, as if recounting something unrelated to himself, "It's not that easy to maintain the dual activity of body and machinery."

"Specifically, what is the level of mechanization now?"

"Thirty percent, I think."

"What about clones? When approximately can production take place?"

"Whenever you want, but the problem is that only when you get the perfect specimens can you reproduce the most perfect clones. Mass production now will only result in some waste that is not even half-finished."

With that, Vegapunk laughed, "Since when do you care about such issues? Or do you also want to carry out mechanical transformation?"

"That joke is not funny." Longinus shook his head.

"Well." Vegapunk shrugged, "Actually, it's not easy to give you a mechanical transformation, your level of life is so high that it will instinctively resist all external substances."

"Say, what do you plan to do here today?"

"Is there any way to put a person's deeper consciousness into a deep sleep?" Longinus asked.

"Deep consciousness?" Vegapunk was stunned and looked at Longinus with considerable surprise, "Is your Kenbunshoku Haki already capable of doing this?"

"It's true that I can' t hide anything from you, Doctor." Longinus said helplessly.

"Although my brain field development degree is higher than yours, but in the application of the ability is far worse than you!" Vegapunk sighed, "If I had the chance, I would like to see what the sea of consciousness of a living being is like."

"With your talent, Doctor, it's not hard to do that." Longinus gave a small compliment.

"Better forget it and wait until we have time." Vegapunk smiled and tossed a syringe over, "This is what you want, just inject it directly into the cerebral cortex."

Straightforward and brutal dark technology ... Longinus thought to himself and then asked, "This potion, was originally prepared for him?"

Longinus said "he", naturally, is Kuma, who fell into a coma on the transformation bed.

"Consciousness transformation, the best thing is voluntary, but if there is no alternative, we can only take some slightly hidden problems!

"Hidden problems?"

"If the person is voluntarily transformed, the consciousness can be completely wiped out. But if this means is used, then he may wake up again." Vegapunk said, "And this, too, is where I would caution you!"

Longinus did not care but rubbed his chin, "It really came to the last step, can he use the injection of sleep?"

Vegapunk looked deeply at Longinus and did not ask more questions, just smiled, "Yes."

"Then I will trouble the doctor!"

PS: I'm double stuck again, around one o'clock; I'll change my name to Kaka for good Õ_Õ.
