Artificial Devil Fruit

New World.

In a huge, heavily guarded experimental base at Punk Hazard, a large number of World Government agents in suits and ties, armed with live ammunition, patrolled back and forth.

There are a large number of Marine personnel stationed on the periphery of the experimental base to prevent others from breaking in or trying to invade.

For no other reason than this is where the Marine Science Unit, which is directly under the World Government, is located.

In addition to a large number of outstanding scientists from all over the world, there is also a genius scientist who claims to be 500 years ahead of current technology, Dr. Vegapunk, here.

This is the reason why the World Government and Marine Headquarters do take it seriously.

At this moment, a tall and thin figure with a head as big as a giant light bulb sighed: "It's such a pity that after investing so much money, it still failed..."

In front of him was an early triangular pyramid-shaped glass container.

Inside, there is an apple-shaped fruit with strange circular patterns and eye-catching blue fruit.

"Failure?"

A black shadow suddenly appeared from the shadow in the corner.

With a bit of sarcasm: "Vegapunk, this is not a failure, is it?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have deliberately destroyed the relevant research and experimental materials and refused to hand over this Devil Fruit to the World Government!"

Hearing those words, Dr. Vegapunk was shocked.

He turned around and looked at the tall figure who suddenly appeared at the side: "Are you... Luke?"

But the next moment.

Luke obviously didn't mean to talk nonsense to him, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.

"Buzz..."

An invisible wave struck.

All of a sudden, Vegapunk's eyes turned white, and he foamed at his mouth.

"Plop!" He lost consciousness instantly and fell there.

"Sorry, guys like you are too dangerous, it's better to be more cautious!" Luke glanced at the unconscious Dr. Vegapunk and shrugged.

Stomping his at the ground, a bloated black shadow emerged.

"Strip him naked, don't leave anything on him, then put him in a prison uniform and lock him up!" Luke said calmly.

No procrastination.

He opened the triangular pyramid-shaped glass container, directly took out the artificial Devil Fruit, and looked at it.

"Is this an artificial Devil Fruit?"

Others don't know it clearly, but Luke knows very well how exaggerated this artificial devil fruit is.

It can be said that it is a real success that perfectly reproduces Kaido's devil fruit, Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon.

In addition to being unable to confirm whether it can be awakened.

It has the same ability as the original devil fruit, but the only difference is in color.

As a perfectionist, Dr. Vegapunk decided that the dragon was a failure because its color was pink.

However, in Luke's opinion, the most important thing is that this guy does not want to hand over this devil fruit to the World Government, nor does he want to produce other artificial Devil Fruit for the World Government.

Otherwise, he would not deliberately destroy all those research materials.

"Understood!"

Playing with the artificial devil fruit in his hand, Luke looked outside the laboratory.

His Observation-Haki sensed different strong and weak auras, making him smile lightly: "Well, they're all here; just take a few more with me!"

Not far from here.

In a spacious laboratory, there is a figure over 3 meters tall wearing a light blue coat, long black spiky hair, and goat horns on his head. His lower body has completely turned into gas, and his whole body is floating in the air.

He was holding two test tubes filled with dark blue reagents and filled with traces of smoke, full of excitement: "Whoops, this ratio is just right!"

"Once it is mass-produced, it will definitely be the most perfect chemical weapon. It will be just around the corner that I surpass that bastard, Vegapunk!"

"thump!"

Without warning, Caesar felt a pain in the back of his head, and he directly lost consciousness.

"Well, this guy is a Logia user, and he is very cunning. After stripping him naked and putting on prison clothes, locked him with a Sea Prism Stone..." An invisible figure gradually at the side.

Luke, whose skin color returned to normal like a chameleon, was there giving orders.

In order to prevent these scientists from taking Vivre Cards or something with them, he'd rather go to some trouble and get rid of everything.

"Yes!"

From the shadows, Shadow Capone Bege, the tool man, emerged.

"Then move on to the... Next target!"

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

In the Fleet Admiral's office.

"It's been so long, and you still haven't found Golden Lion's whereabouts?"

Sengoku looked gloomy.

He held back his anger and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm very sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."

Adjutant Brannew wiped cold sweat and responded cautiously: "Neither CP nor our Marine intelligence network has been able to find Golden Lion's whereabouts. They seem to have suddenly disappeared!"

"Damn it… That bastard, wouldn't it be nice to just become a legend? He just came out to cause trouble at this time!"

He slapped the desk hard with gritted teeth.

"Most of the prisoners in Eternal Hell are ambitious and rebellious people. It is unlikely that they will be subdued by Shiki in a short time. I guess he is not that capable…"

Garp, who was sitting on the sofa nearby, had no intention of joking at the moment and said helplessly: "But even so, the prisoners from the Crimson Hell to the Freezing Hell are all extremely vicious; they will cause big trouble once he subdues them!"

"More troublesome things are yet to come!"

No matter what Sengoku says.

At this time, Vice-Admiral Tsuru walked in, her face more solemn than ever.

This made Fleet Admiral Sengoku's heart skip a beat, and he had a bad premonition again: "Tsuru, what's wrong?"

"News just came from Punk Hazard. A dozen top scientists from all over the world, including the chief genius scientist Dr. Vegapunk, all disappeared out of thin air..."

Vice-Admiral Tsuru had a serious face and said in a deep voice: "And the surveillance can't detect any abnormalities. It's like they suddenly disappeared from the experimental base!"

"But without exception, their clothes were thrown into the sea!"

"In addition, several Devil Fruits distributed by the World Government to the Marine Science Unit for research were also directly stolen!"

"What!?"

Whether it was Sengoku the Buddha or Garp, their expression changed drastically.

He never expected that something like this would happen at this juncture.

Especially Dr. Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist, was actually kidnapped.

"The style of committing the crime is somewhat similar to the Impel Down invasion incident a few days ago... It was most likely done by Golden Lion!" Vice-Admiral Tsuru said bluntly.

"Boom!"

A palm pressed down hard.

Sengoku's face was ashen, and the desk in front of him fell into pieces in an instant.

"Damn, is it Shiki again?"

"Bulu~~~Bolo~~~"

At this time, the white Den Den Mushi on Sengoku's desk suddenly rang.

Vice-Admiral Tsuru, Garp, and others on the side couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Sengoku's eyelids twitched fiercely, but he could only pick up the Den Den Mushi and answer the call: "Moshi Moshi, I am Sengoku!"

It involves Dr. Vegapunk, the world's number-one genius scientist.

The response from the top leaders of the World Government was obviously very quick.

"Sengoku, no matter what method Marine uses, you must find out that lawless guy, Golden Lion, as soon as possible and deal with him completely..."

From the Den Den Mushi came the somewhat furious and unquestionable voice of the Five Elders: "We must take back Vegapunk no matter the cost!"

"Otherwise, you should stop being a Fleet Admiral!"
