Chapter 182 Kaido's Dream

Chapter 182 Kaido's Dream

Just as Kozuki Oden returned to Wano Country, a group of uninvited guests arrived at a rarely visited Island located in the latter half of the Grand Line, also known as the New World.

A giant Pirate Ship, which could be called a mobile fortress, slowly docked at the shore of the Island.

At the top of the Mast of the Ship, hung the Banner of the Beasts Pirates, which was enough to make people tremble with fear.

If there were outsiders present, they would definitely be puzzled as to why the Beasts Pirates would suddenly visit this deserted Island.

Because this Island, even in the New World, belonged to the kind of Island that was difficult to survive on. Apart from various Wild Beast on the Island, there was almost nothing else of Value, and because it was far from the main sea route, it did not meet the Condition of being a Base or a transfer station.

And the Beasts Pirates, who should have been vigorously developing production and construction in Wano Country, sending a Ship that could be called a sea fortress to such a Place was in itself a very strange Thing.

What was even stranger was— Captain Kaido of the Beasts Pirates was actually on the Ship, and standing beside him was King, who had black wings on his back, Flames burning at the back of his neck, and wore a Mask.

At the same time, there was another person beside the two of them, a fat man with a thick neck and a small head, wearing sunglasses and smoking a Cigar.

"Are you sure there are traces of Joy Boy here?" Kaido stood on the Ship's Bow, expressionlessly surveying the environment on the Island.

He could see various Giant Plants growing on the Island, and also various Ancient Species flying in the Sky. He could also faintly hear the Roar of many fierce Wild Beast.

Queen, smoking a Cigarette, stood beside Kaido.

"According to the Coordinates analyzed from the Intelligence obtained previously, it is here. As for whether there are traces of Joy Boy, I don't know. After all, he was a figure from eight hundred years ago. It's already very good to be able to find even a little bit of something after the World Government's sweep."

For Queen, his joining Kaido was only because he valued Kaido's Strength and that Kaido was starting a business. With his Intelligence and Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit Ability, he would definitely be able to secure a firm foothold in the Beasts Pirates.

As a result, after joining, he originally thought Kaido's Mission for him would be to attack Islands or prove himself. But Kaido directly handed him a pile of Books he didn't know where they came from, and asked him to Research Joy Boy, a character who now only circulated in some short stories.

The main Thing was that the Second-in-command in the Pirate Crew, the Weapon who wore a Mask all day long, didn't know what was going on and actually firmly believed that Kaido was Joy Boy, making Queen once think that his choice was wrong.

But unfortunately, the Strength of the two of them was more Pervert than the other, and he couldn't run away. In addition, he had tricked Vegapunk. He heard that guy now had a high Voice in the World Government. What if he was capricious and sent a Navy Admiral to find trouble with him?

He might as well just follow Kaido and everyone could look for Joy Boy together.

"But seriously, even in the Grand Line, Islands like this that still preserve many Ancient Species are rare." Queen slowly withdrew his gaze, his Tone full of emotion.

Kaido turned his head to look at Queen and said indifferently, "That's the Reason I came here in person."

"You didn't lie to me, did you, Queen?"

"Eh? Yes, that's right, what I said before was true. Vegapunk did Research Lineage Factor and gave a complete experimental theory. Now there are sufficient experimental materials..." Facing Kaido's oppressive gaze, Queen showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

At the same time, he also felt a little regretful in his heart. Damn it, he shouldn't have been so talkative back then, and now he had gotten himself into trouble.

Kaido slowly turned around, staring at the Island in front of him, and said expressionlessly, "I hope the 'hypothesis' you proposed is correct, and not a Joke you casually came up with to perfunctorily deal with me."

"H-How could it be... That's Vegapunk's great Secret, and even the World Government doesn't hesitate to dispatch the CP Department to arrest him!" Queen forced himself to appear calm, but his heart was in a panic, and a lot of cold sweat oozed from his back.

He was good at human body modification, and he also had some understanding of the Research Vegapunk was conducting.

But Vegapunk's hypothesis about Artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit based on [Lineage Factor] was theoretically feasible, but the difficulty of putting it into practice was equivalent to him surpassing Vegapunk... This was a bit outrageous. You know, he and Judge, two Simp, had only followed Vegapunk for a short period of time and had made great progress in their respective fields, and that was just Vegapunk casually giving them a few pointers.

Even the Core Technology that he and Judge currently mastered was hastily stolen from Vegapunk.

And unfortunately, the hypothesis and idea of Artificial Devil Fruit were proposed and researched by Vegapunk alone, and he really didn't know about the experimental Data and specific experimental content of Artificial Devil Fruit.

Not to mention what the success rate was. He didn't have any confidence in whether he could successfully extract Lineage Factor from Animal bodies.

Or rather. He was just drawing a pie in the sky for Kaido.

Thinking of this, Queen wished he could tear off his own mouth, although for him, removing his mouth and putting it back on was not too difficult.

However, for Queen, it was not without a remedy. After all, there were many good Things in the Data he had stolen from Vegapunk. When he took them out, it would be enough to deal with Kaido.

Queen was also filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he should have communicated more with Vegapunk about Lineage Factor Technology, even if he would be Taunt as someone slightly smarter than a slime.

But now that Things had come to this, he could only bite the bullet and go ahead.

"Ahem, this Island is home to various Creatures, and the base number is very large, which can greatly help us quickly find the Lineage Factor of a certain species. As long as it is extracted, and then combined with a Fruit Tree using special Techniques, when the Fruit matures, there is a certain possibility that a Devil Fruit with the characteristics of that species will appear.

Although the probability of its birth is quite small, and the effect may be slightly worse than naturally formed Devil Fruit, and there will also be certain side effects, the Strength enhancement for those who eat this Artificial Devil Fruit is real.

Queen gently adjusted the sunglasses on his nose, trying his best to recall the Things Vegapunk had said at the time, and continued:

"So, successfully extracting the 'Lineage Factor' of a certain species is theoretically only the first step. After that, we need to find a way to make these Lineage Factor into [SAD] and use it to irrigate Plants to complete the Growth Cycle."

"[SAD]? Growth Cycle?" King glanced sideways at Queen, feeling that this guy looked a bit unreliable. Moreover, Things involving cycles meant that it would take a lot of Time to verify.

And Queen also subconsciously looked at the Giant Plants on the riverbank, just about to speak.

"Queen, you're not going to tell me that because the Growth Cycle of Plants is generally very long, the Plants used to cultivate Artificial Fruit will also lengthen the cycle?"

"This, this is unavoidable, science, you know..." Queen smiled awkwardly.

With his professional knowledge, it would have been easy to fool Kaido. But King in front of him was obviously not that easy to fool.

Originally, he wanted to use the [Growth Cycle] to delay Time as much as possible. He originally thought that the Beasts Pirates could be said to be all illiterate, but now it seemed that King had received a certain degree of education. Although it was impossible to compare with his own cultural level, it was obviously not easy to fool him.

King did not know what Queen was thinking, just stared at Queen with his Eyes, and said, "The worry about the Growth Cycle is secondary. What you should be concerned about now is how to ensure that Artificial Devil Fruit can be created. This is related to Captain Kaido's Dream!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Queen had no choice but to agree with King's statement.
