Chapter 81: Eden Class

Charlotte Oven's death infuriated the entire Big Mom Pirate crew to an extreme degree.

Swiftly, the Big Mom Pirates issued a bounty of ten billion in both the New World and the Underworld.

Regrettably, Noah's actions were clean and decisive, so much so that even the underground information tycoon, Morgans, couldn't determine who was responsible, let alone other underworld giants.

The only person who might know the truth was the second princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, Violet. Her Dede Fruit's ultimate coverage could reach up to 4,000 kilometers.

The Thunder God Island was only about 790 kilometers from the Dressrosa Kingdom. If Violet had been observing the area on that day, she could have witnessed Noah's battle with Oven.

Unfortunately, Noah had anticipated this.

On the day of the operation, he had Champagne arrange for a small forest near the coast of Dressrosa Island to be set ablaze deliberately.

Thus, Violet's attention was confined within the boundaries of the Dressrosa Kingdom, guarding against potential enemies.

The enraged Big Mom Pirates caused storms in the New World, inadvertently drawing the attention of the navy and other major pirates.

After returning to the York Island base in the West Sea, Noah didn't stay long. He quickly used a wormhole jump to reach Lion Island in the Governor's Sky Paradise.

"Lord Noah, it's been a while!" Monet greeted him with a smile.

"Is the work going smoothly?"

Monet nodded, "No major issues. The defensive system of Sky Island is initially in place..."

She briefed Noah on the specifics of Sky Island.

Currently, the Sky Paradise Governor's District governs 15 islands, including core areas like Lion Island, Skypieans Island, Angel Island, Field Island, and Upper Yard Island, among others.

There are also four outpost islands: South Bika Island, East Gluttony Island, West Cloud Island, and North Tianchi Island.

The total population stands at 53,000, with a regular army of 3,500 soldiers.

There are four medium-sized flying arks and a 1,000-strong Sky Cavalry unit, commanded by General Viper.

Although the regular army only numbers 3,500, there are approximately 8,300 militiamen in reserve, all trained in basic Haki and physical arts.

The local specialty of the Sky Islands, the Sky Island Shellfish farming industry, has also developed rapidly, especially with the help of Andy and others. Some rare shellfish species on the brink of extinction have been restored.

For example, the Impact Shell and the Laser Shell populations have recovered from near extinction to a stable count of over two thousand.

During his visit to the Mechanical Island in the northwest of Lion Island, Noah saw Law busy working on a ship.

"Is this the Eden Class Ark?"

Upon noticing Noah's arrival, Law immediately stopped his work and respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Noah, this is the Eden Class Ark you envisioned."

This ark was different from ordinary medium-sized arks in that its surface was covered with a layer of dark green "scales," which were actually leaves from a local plant on the Sky Island.

The hallmark of the Eden Class Ark is its life-like quality; the ship itself is essentially a tree that can store energy through photosynthesis.

Its propulsion and weaponry were crafted by Law using the Surgery Fruit to transplant functions of various Sky Island shells into the tree-ship.

For instance, the propulsion jets were created by transplanting large wind-blowing shells enhanced with IQ drugs onto the ship.

Similarly, as weaponry, the laser cannons were made by enhancing laser shells with IQ drugs, then transplanting them onto the ship's body.

To enhance energy storage capacity, thermal shell organs enhanced with IQ drugs were used, their maximum storage capacity equivalent to the heat generated by the complete combustion of five tons of coal.

The Eden Class Ark was equipped with 100 thermal shell energy batteries.

To increase the energy production of photosynthesis, the ship's sides were also grafted with extendable photosynthetic leaves, which, when unfurled, could increase the ship's leaf surface area by tenfold.

The bottom of the ship was grafted with enhanced cloud shells that could emit stable clouds, allowing the tree-ship to hover in the air without power, serving both as camouflage and a defense against infiltrators.

This bio-warship not only possesses robust survival capabilities but can also supply the crew.

For instance, the "meat strip growth chamber" and "vitamin fruit growth chamber" were created using parts of Baron Stomach's organs, along with a "freshwater generation room" and "shower room" made from water shells, plus a kitchen developed from flame and thermal shells.

The Surgery Fruit's ability to transplant across species without rejection enabled unimaginable modifications and creations.

As various biological organs were transplanted and modified, Law's understanding of the Surgery Fruit deepened, and he grew to appreciate Noah's saying: "Knowledge is power."

"It looks like the research progress is satisfactory, but it's still not enough..."

Law nodded, "Indeed, it's not yet perfect. Although the resin organs of the Yarqiman Mangrove can be transplanted, the bubbles it produces are hard to maintain stable outside of the Sabaody Archipelago. I'm working on improvements."

Noah waved his hand, "No worries, take your time, we still have time."

"By the way, Lord Noah, regarding the special model ark you ordered, it might take about two more months."

"Two months? I see. Don't rush, make sure to prepare extra safety measures."

"I'll strengthen those arrangements."

Noah inspected the interior facilities of the Eden Class and then inquired about Law's ability development.

At this time, Law could use ultrasound, X-rays, and MRI, but he hadn't yet mastered gamma rays and heavy protons, which would likely require the fruit to awaken.

However, he had made significant progress in other areas.

For instance, he had modified the fierce beasts left behind from experiments by the Golden Lion into a special beast corps.

Law selected several dozen gorillas, modifying their bodies into several types: the Sea Gorilla Squad, the Fire Gorilla Squad, the Flying Gorilla Squad, and the Strength Gorilla Squad.

Sea Gorillas could operate underwater, employing toxins, ink, and electric shocks as their methods of attack.

Fire Gorillas were transplanted with wind-blowing shell and flame shell organs, and they also had wings, enabling them to breathe fire and fly.

Flying Gorillas had laser shell organs and wings, allowing them to shoot lasers and fly.

Strength Gorillas were transplanted with insect exoskeletons and porcupine spines, giving them tremendous strength and the ability to launch large spikes.

Additionally, Law had also created a set of biological armor for himself, using gorillas as the base material, allowing him to integrate into it to avoid directly modifying his own body, while still utilizing various biological organs.

The six-meter-tall biological armor possessed tremendous strength and a variety of bizarre biological organs. Law, piloting from within, conserved his own physical strength.
