Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

"Why? How?"

After hearing Vegapunk's words, Jinbe said in disbelief, because he clearly knew that the bear's life ended in his hands.

But this long head in front of me actually says that the bear is still alive. How is this possible?

In contrast, Skyler and Fujitora were much quieter. Brooke, who didn't even know what was going on, looked around, where is the bear?Aren’t they all machines here?

Vegapunk saw that both Fujitora and Skyler could remain calm, so he stretched out his hand to signal Jinbei to calm down, then looked at a few people and asked: "Do you think that in addition to the beating of the heart and the movement of the body, there are other things in life? have what?"

"soul."

Although Brooke didn't know what happened, he was the first to give the answer. Vegapunk nodded and said: "The soul is the most mysterious existence in the world, and some people even question whether it really exists.

But my research, and my results, convinced me of the existence of the soul.For example, this Mr. Skeleton, you are actually the best proof.

You no longer have a physical body, and the brain used to carry consciousness as people previously believed is no longer there, but you can still speak and move.

Of course, I still don’t understand the principle of your actions. After all...I mean, you don’t even have muscles, nerves and blood vessels, how did you..."

With that said, Vegapunk stood up, walked to Brooke, stretched out his hand and started to unbutton his clothes. Brooke quickly pushed his hand away and said:

"If I am willing to show my chastity, I will enter the entertainment industry."

"Cough cough~"

Skyler also coughed twice, and Vegapunk woke up. Reluctantly, he looked back at Brooke three times, and finally returned to his seat, and then said:

"I believe you all know that I have studied Devil Fruits and successfully made inanimate objects gain Devil Fruit abilities and have consciousness at the same time.

Bear has also conducted similar experiments here. Of course... the human soul is much more complicated than the consciousness hidden in those animal-type Devil Fruits.

It took me a long time to finish it.And...I can only tell you now that the bear is not dead, but...it is not alive either. "

Vegapunk's explanation made several people a little confused, especially Jinbei. He was already a little entangled in his heart because he thought he had killed the bear, but now he heard such roundabout words.

Skyler thought for a moment and asked, "In what form will he come back to life?"

"good question!"

Vegapunk clapped his hands and stood up excitedly. He was not good at explaining to others, so when communicating with others, he felt that others were stubborn.

Originally, he was prepared to spend several days today to make these stubborn people understand, but Skyler seemed to understand what he meant.

After standing up, Vegapunk walked up to the half-assembled pacifists and said, "You all know them, right? Pacifists, what do you think?"

Although he was asking everyone, his eyes fell on Skyler, as if he only wanted to hear Skyler's opinion. Skyler thought for a while and said: "Expensive, inefficient, and extremely stupid."

"That's right! That's right! That's what you said, so stupid!"

Vegapunk touched the pacifist's steel body excitedly and said: "When I was very young, I thought about it, if there was a robot that could fight crime, no one would die fighting criminals.

The traditional mechanical structure is completely unable to build a robot that can compete with those big pirates, so a few of me and... ahem, in short, I discovered that the Devil Fruit's ability is not only able to affect living things.

Even items can be endowed with Devil Fruit abilities, and in recent years, I finally no longer need to use Devil Fruits to create an item that prepares me for extraordinary powers.

I discovered that the bloodline factors of people with abilities who have consumed Devil Fruit will also change accordingly. By simply figuring out the sequence and combination of the bloodline factors in them, you can create items with extraordinary abilities.

Such as pacifists. "

As he spoke, Vegapunk patted the pacifist's pectoralis major, and judging from his expression, he seemed to enjoy it.

However, other people's expressions were a bit strange. After all, Vegapunk said a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything. Skyler even wondered if he had forgotten what he was supposed to say or write.

Fortunately, Vegapunk woke up quickly, moved his hands away from the pacifist's pectoralis major, coughed twice, and at the same time smoothed the wrinkles on the front of his clothes due to raising his hands. Then he continued:

"Using the blood factor of the esper to give objects extraordinary abilities. Although it can greatly save the use of devil fruits, and even reduce the consumption to zero, and it is also replicable, it also has a fatal flaw...

That is, the creature does not have autonomous consciousness. It is still a tool and a weapon, not a robot that can completely replace humans, as I want.

To overcome this problem, these pacifists must be equipped with the ability to think and act autonomously. I have thought about using electronic components to replace them, but that is almost impossible.

Those things can only allow pacifists to interpret and execute instructions faster, but they can never touch... that level of life, at least the current manufacturing process does not support it.

So I come full circle, back to...soul. "

Vegapunk rubbed his hands, then took out a small box from the unassembled Pacifist, and then walked to the workbench to operate it. Soon, an enlarged version of the box rose from under the table. rise.

He pointed to the small box and said: "Here is the integration of all the data about bears that I have collected over the years, allowing pacifists to continuously get closer to the bears' thinking habits during continuous operation.

The most important thing is that they can independently feedback, learn, iterate, and share data with each other. Therefore, as long as the time is long enough and there are enough samples, I can build a robot with the complete mind of a bear. "

Vegapunk blushed as he spoke, but Skyler frowned and said, "Construct a complete neural network through autonomous deep learning?"

Vegapunk's movements froze, he thought for a moment, nodded, but then waved his hands and said: "Yes, but not entirely, you should come and learn from me, I think you can understand, you should continue to study and study. "

Hearing this, Skyler quickly shook her head. She had already transferred a few words she had learned throughout her life, and then said: "Forget it, but I don't agree that this is what is called living.

After all, when the time comes, it will be just a robot with a bear's thinking habits, not a bear. At least I don't think this is what is called living. "

"Yes Yes!"

Vegapunk nodded, then pointed to the big box and said, "But what if the bear's soul is still there?"

Hearing this, Skyler looked at the big box, and then looked at Vegapunk in confusion. The other people could no longer keep up at this time. Vegapunk rubbed his nose and upper lip and said:

"Skylar, can you control your hands?"

Skyler raised his hand and nodded. Vegapunk pointed at Fujitora and said, "Then can you control the hand of your whole life?"

At this moment, Fujitora suddenly raised his hand imitating Skyler's action just now, and then showed a smile. Skyler also laughed directly on his face, and then nodded.

Vegapunk was speechless for a moment, and Skyler spread his hands, put on a serious expression, and said, "No."

Vegapunk sighed. He felt as if he was back a few decades ago, when he was teaching those children and they were all so naughty. However, he continued:

"Think about it, why can you control your hands? Because you know how to move your hands, and your hands also know how to receive your commands.

And you can't control other people's hands. First of all, you can't understand other people's bodies like you understand your own body. At the same time, other people's hands can't receive your commands.And this..."

Vegapunk waved the small box in his hand and said: "This is the key card that makes a machine become like the bear's own body. In the process of continuous autonomous deep learning, all the behaviors of the machine will change. It has to be exactly the same as the original behavior of the bear. In other words, every pacifist is the body of a bear. And that..."

Vegapunk pointed at the big box again and said: "It is the host that is distributed, copied, and given the function of opening the key card. Once the learning is completed and the network is opened, the bear can live on every Pacifist.

The soul here is Xiong's own soul, which means that he will be alive by then, and the pacifist is just his transformed body, just like it has been for the past ten years. "

Skyler felt like she understood, but she felt like she didn't understand, but she probably understood. After all, she had seen many movies in her previous life, in which there were plots about transplanting consciousness into other bodies.

But Skyler still frowned and asked, "Have you mastered the technology of extracting human souls?"

"No, no, no, that would be too scary. I don't have that kind of technology. It's beyond the scope of human technology."

Vegapunk shook his head in disappointment, and Skyler became even more confused. He pointed at the big box and said, "Didn't you say that there is the soul of the bear? If you can't do it, how can he..."

"I understand what you are thinking. It is true that I cannot extract the souls of humans or other animals, but... I have done it to extract the "souls" of Devil Fruits, and I succeeded more than once.

Many years ago, someone suggested that souls reside in animal devil fruits.

And I confirmed this, and... I also discovered that the other two Devil Fruits have the same characteristics, but compared to the animal type, the souls stored in the other two Devil Fruits are almost shapeless and cannot be extracted at all. "

Seeing Vegapunk's disappointed look again, Skyler asked doubtfully: "What about the bear? He can't be an animal fruit, can he? The human fruit-bear male form? Ugh~~~"

"Of course not." Vegapunk shook his head, looked at Jinbei with empty eyes, and said, "You should know this, because when he fought with you, the bear had already lost his fruit ability."

Jinbe, who was called out, came back to his senses. When he heard Vegapunk's question, he frowned deeply, then nodded and said, "It seems that is true. He uses weapons with modified parts... "

"The bear's use of Devil Fruit is an art level..." Vegapunk muttered, putting down the small box, and pressed it on the console several times, and something rose up from under the console.

Skyler looked at it and found that it was a somewhat dry fruit. Looking at the spiral pattern on the surface, Skyler raised an eyebrow and said guessingly: "He took the fruit out of his body?"

"Bingo!" Vegapunk nodded and said: "Bingo not only took his ability out of his body, he also took one more step before, that is, he took his consciousness into the fruit ability. among.

And when he took the ability out of his body, this fruit... He was not just an ordinary superhuman fruit, but a superhuman devil fruit that contained a complete soul!

I have only heard of one such superhuman fruit before. It was a fruit that advocated freedom, but... I have never obtained that fruit, so I am not sure whether there is a complete soul in it.

It's just that the characteristics it exhibits are the same as the bear's fruit. "

Then, Vegapunk turned around and raised his hands. In the eyes of Skyler and others, it seemed that his left hand was holding a large box and his right hand was holding the fruit. At the same time, he said:

"The next thing is logical. I gave the soul of the bear in the fruit to this core. As long as the core is not destroyed, he will not die."

"No..." Skyler frowned and said, "But Jinbei said that when he fought the bear yesterday, the bear had clear consciousness and thinking ability.

Everything you just said needs to be based on the completion of the pacifist's deep learning. Can he still maintain consciousness after photographing his soul?There is no reason for this. "

Vegapunk seemed very pleased that Skyler had discovered this. He nodded and said: "Indeed, what I just said requires a lot of learning and improvement by the new pacifist. His soul To control.

But you seem to have forgotten that what he manipulated before was his own body. Although it has been transformed, he still used his own body after the last transformation.

That body was originally his own, so...he only needed to connect it to truly control it. "

"It means that his original body has already been loaded with all the necessary drivers, and his consciousness can be hot-swapped without the need for additional adaptations?"

Skyler said thoughtfully, Vegapunk nodded in affirmation, Skyler nodded, looked at Jinbei, and said: "Did you understand? You just destroyed one body of the bear. .”

"what?"

Jinbe scratched his gills, but still looked confused. Looking at his appearance, Skyler knew that he must not understand. After thinking about it, he said:

"You can think of it this way, the bear is the King of the Sea, and what you kill is just a Neptune-like creature he controls. Killing the Neptune-like creature will not cause the death of the Neptune King. Do you understand?"

"Oh~"

Although Jinbei nodded at this time, Skyler felt that he still didn't understand, but he couldn't think of a better way to answer it for a while, so he scratched his head and finally gave up and continued to explain.

Vegapunk had already placed the dried fruit and the big box back. Skyler thought about it and said, "By the way, Vegapunk, I have another one..."

"Dr. Vegapunk."

Vegapunk suddenly corrected him again, but he quickly realized something, waved his hand and said, "You're used to it, keep talking."

Skyler twitched the corner of his mouth before continuing: "Xiong must have told you before, right? About my black knife..."

"Nurkic seems to be here, go down and open the door and meet other friends by the way."

Fujitora interrupted suddenly and then stood up. Apparently he didn't want to hear what Skyler wanted to say next. It wasn't that he wasn't interested, he just felt he shouldn't hear it.

After all, the black sword... that is a swordsman's secret. Although he is a fruit ability user, he is also a swordsman. He can't be shameless and listen just because Skyler trusts him.

Who knows if Skyler really trusts him, or is he just blocking him because of Madaha, or because of lack of face?

Skyler watched Fujitora leave, thought for a moment, and said nothing. After all, Fujitora stopped listening on his own initiative, so she couldn't force him to stay and listen.

After all, the next topic involves colluding with pirates, and even more seriously, colluding with the revolutionary army. As a general, Fujitora may be able to tolerate Skyler's behavior.

But saying it directly to his face would be too insulting to the new admiral of the navy.

Therefore, Skyler did not stop Fujitora from leaving, and after a while, Nurkic also came over, apparently having completed the handover.

Seeing the confused look on Jinbei's face in the conference room, and the look of Brook raising his head to face the sky, Nurkic was also a little confused. What exactly had they just talked about? Why were these two colleagues who had seen the storm so... melancholy?

Skyler also said to Nurkic at this time: "Sit down, the bear's matter has been explained clearly, he is not dead."

"Really? That's great."

Nurkic breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't understand why Jinbe was still so confused when the bear was not dead.

However, it was impossible for Skyler to repeat to him what Vegapunk had just said, because she could no longer remember it, so she looked directly at Vegapunk and said:

"Back to the topic just now, Xiong should have told you that there are two souls stored in my two black knives, and these two souls come from the same person. Is there a way to distinguish them?"

"Well, he told me, but...can I take a look first?"

After Vegapunk asked, Skyler nodded, brushed the blade box with her hand, and the two black knives fell into her hands, and then handed them to Vegapunk. Vegapunk took them carefully, and then found a Zhang's workbench was put up.

Then he started to draw the knife, but embarrassingly, Vegapunk carefully pulled it out several times, but still failed to pull it out.

In order to adapt to Skyler's fighting style, her sword's seal and carp's mouth fit very closely, which can prevent the blade and sheath from separating during activities. To put it bluntly, it is made relatively tight.

With Skylar's strength, she wouldn't feel too tight, but Vegapunk was different. He was not a swordsman, so he didn't know how much force to use to pull out the sheath, so he could only try a little bit.

Coupled with the reputation of the black knife, he did not dare to be too violent in his actions, so he tried several times and failed.

He put down the knife, moved his hand, then gritted his teeth, picked up Gu Yuzuo and pulled it out suddenly.

"Ye~"

This time, it was obvious that he had used too much force. The knife and the sheath separated instantly, and the blade directly struck the pacifist beside him.

"Clang~"

One arm of the pacifist fell directly to the ground, and the blade of the sword dived directly into the pacifist's torso.

Fortunately, he didn't hurt himself or anyone else. Vegapunk patted his chest thankfully, and then tried to remove Gu Yusaku from the Pacifist. However, after several attempts, the blade was still stuck in the Pacifist. body.

Skyler covered his forehead, then stood up, walked to Vegapunk, and easily removed the ancient masterpiece. Even the good guy went to the end and helped Vegapunk unsheath the obsidian.

Vegapunk nodded, but still looked a little nervous.

After all, he almost cut the pacifist in half with his black knife. Not to mention the pacifist's steel frame, his outermost coating is the toughest material in the world.

Before the war, the outer layer of Marinefando Crescent Harbor was covered with this kind of paint. Not even Whitebeard could easily destroy the paint.

But he, a person who had never practiced swordsmanship, actually destroyed this coating immediately. This black sword was too terrifying.

It's not like he hasn't tested it with a sword before, but even a swordsman can't destroy the paint, but now it seems... it still needs improvement.

While thinking about it, Vegapunk was already distracted. He moved out a lot of equipment, put patches on the sword, and then turned on the switch of a certain instrument.

Then, in the confused eyes of Skyler and others, they looked at a lot of characters that appeared in a daze.

The characters were beating every second, and even Nurkic couldn't analyze the slightest pattern from these characters, as if they were just a bunch of gibberish.

Skyler also felt her head hurt. Just when she was about to ask, Vegapunk suddenly turned around and asked: "Are you going to pick the one with a better temper or the one with a bad temper?"

"Huh? This?"

Skyler looked confused, but after thinking about it, she still said: "You have a better temper, right?"

Vegapunk nodded, then picked up the obsidian and said, "Then just extract the soul from this black knife. I suggest you remove the soul from the other knife.

By the way, how do you plan to extract the soul?I can just learn from it. After all, I did experiments before and placed many fruit abilities and souls in objects.

If I can work backwards, I can get some experimental materials again. "

Skyler pointed to the old bones beside him and said, "Devil Fruit user."

"Oh~~ Lend it to me if you have time."

Brooke: "Although I'm dead, I still have personality!"
