Pirates: The Fourth Scourge

Chapter 125 Demon Power and Soul

This laboratory was established in a "joint venture" between Heishi and Li Ni.

Not long after he left Huaskra at the beginning of the day, Lini found Wasa Yuyuki and asked her if there was any hidden place on the island that could be used for "scientific research", and Wasa Yuyuki was not interested in Huaskra. He was too familiar, so he could only contact Hei Shi, and when Hei Shi found out about this, he naturally emptied one of his secret bases.

At the same time, he also ordered Doras to use his relationship to help Lini buy a lot of equipment and books.

Of course, most of the money was paid by Li Ni.

Heishi has always attached great importance to things like "technology", he is a modern person!And I grew up enjoying the dividends of science and technology since I was a child. Even if it weren't for the reason of such advanced technology, the "game world" of [ONE PIECE] would not have been created!
Moreover, the "technological power" of this world cannot be underestimated.

Whether it's Vegapunk or Gage, or even the half-baked Caesar, it can be said that they have had a considerable impact on the world by using the power of technology, and even Vegapunk's influence is no longer 01:30.

So when Lini proposed to do scientific research, Hei Shi immediately asked Doras and Wasao Yuyuki to help her with the preliminary work.

"Are you still used to these equipment?" Hei Shi asked.

He was a little worried that Lini would not know how to use these equipment. After all, the real world had entered the era of intelligent automation two or three hundred years ago, and the ancient equipment in Pirate World had long been eliminated.

".Uh, it's okay."

When it was dark, I picked up a book on the table - "The Unsolved Mystery of the Great Voyage", by Kim Keflabi.

"It's better to read less of this kind of book. Many of the contents in it are artificially fabricated. If you read too much, it will mislead you." Hei Shi shook his head speechlessly.

This book was written by a half explorer more than 50 years ago. The reason why it is half is because this guy who was born in the South China Sea is said to have never even been on the great sea route. He has only been an adventurer in the South China Sea for a period of time. Then he turned to become a writer.

Of course, there was no such thing as a great route more than 50 years ago.

But this book has become popular on the great route, and it has been enduring for a long time. People who were born in the great route in recent decades cannot do without this book in their childhood.

It can be said that the popularity of this book on the Great Route is as popular as the comic strip in Beihai where the naval hero "Sola" fights against the evil organization villain "Germa 66", and it has become a household name.

"I'll just take a look." Lini said with some embarrassment, "Some places are quite interesting."

"Okay." Hei Shi shook his head, then took out two devil fruits and placed them on the table.

"This is." Lini was a little puzzled.

"For your research, here is one that is naturally produced, and the other is a man-made devil fruit."

"Thank you so much!" Lini was a little surprised.

She has been looking forward to the Devil Fruit for a long time, and even asked Wasao Yuyuki to buy it, but unfortunately, Wasao Yuyuki didn't have a Devil Fruit in hand, and it would be too expensive to buy it in the auction market.

Because of the player's entry, the price of the devil fruit is now nearly [-]% more expensive than before, and there is even no market for the price!

"This thing can be used to contact me. Keep it safe. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly." Hei Shi threw a life ring to Lini.

"Okay." Lini was a little flattered, and caught it carefully.

In fact, she didn't know why she had to face an "NPC" with such an attitude.

"By the way, Boss Heishi, can I ask you a question? I saw something recorded in a book before, and I was a little confused."

Suddenly, Lini thought of something, and looked up at Hei Shi again.

"What's the problem? I'm afraid it's not from "The Unsolved Mystery of the Great Route"?" Hei Shi joked.

"Of course not." Lini quickly waved her hand, "That's right. I read in books that objects can also eat devil fruits, right? But... why do objects develop 'wisdom' after eating devil fruits? ? Is there really a 'devil' in the devil fruit itself?"

Hearing this, Hei Shi was silent for a while before laughing: "Of course there is no devil in the devil fruit itself. However, the power of the devil is real."

"Uh, does this answer have anything to do with my question?" Lini froze for a moment.

"So... where do you think the power of demons resides in people?" Hei Shi did not answer Lini's words, but asked rhetorically.

"Where does it reside? Uh, the brain? The heart?" Lini replied tentatively.

"So, do objects have hearts and brains?"

"Of course not." Lini frowned slightly.

"So, the place where the power of the devil resides in the human body is not the 'body'."

"It's not the body. You mean, reside in the soul?" Lini's eyes widened.

"That's right, but this is just my guess. I think the reason why objects can eat devil fruits is because the place where the devil's power resides is the 'soul'."

In fact, Hei Shi never thought that the power of demons would reside in the human heart. That is to say, he felt that the research direction of Valpo's Magnetic Drum Kingdom for so many years was always wrong.

It is absolutely impossible for the power of demons to reside in the heart of a person.

After all, the musician "Brook" of the Straw Hats later, he is a person without a body, but he can still use the ability of the devil fruit, even in the original book, he himself said - he only has a soul, his Power is given by the "soul".

Similarly, the reason why objects can eat "devil fruit" is also because they have souls, just like "ship spirits".

Among the existing "object devil fruit ability users", whether it is the dachshund gun of MR.4, the elephant sword of Spandam, or the teapot of Feiche of Tengu Mountain, etc., these are actually all of them. "Love" things, and because of this, they gave birth to souls.

The "spiritual wisdom" was born first, and then the devil fruit that was eaten.

As for Blackbeard, what Heishi is really confused about is why the "three souls" can be accommodated together on Blackbeard's body, and what kind of "form" they co-exist in.

You must know that the reason why his mental attributes are less than other attributes is also because he once did an experiment that was somewhat related to the "soul", which resulted in a cut of his mental power.

"However, how can an object give birth to a soul?" Li Ni was a little unbelievable.

"." Hei Shi looked at her speechlessly.

This is a game!Why can't a soul be born?
"You should do your own research first. After a while, I will take you to meet someone. He knows more about technology research than I do." Hei Shi scratched his hair.

He doesn't know how to explain why as long as he "loves" the object, then the object will produce a soul.

"Huh? Is the boss in Heishi leaving? Can you answer a few more questions for me?"
