I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

"Bloodline...cells..."

"Catalytic enzymes...genetic factors..."

Vegapunk is undoubtedly the top scientist in the pirate world, and he is also a versatile person who has dabbled in many disciplines. In terms of biomedical attainments, he may not be as good as Dr. Gero, but compared with Orochimaru, he is at least on par with him, and even has a deeper and more thorough understanding of some aspects.

After all, the industrialization level of the pirate world is much higher than that of the Naruto world. Before being subdued by Uchiha Hikaru, Orochimaru was still doing research using old medical instruments from the last century.

As a genius girl from the Dragon Ball world, Bulma's scientific literacy is beyond words.

Originally, biomedicine was her weakness, but recently, Bulma has been self-studying in this area and has made up for her former shortcomings to a normal level - the "normal level" as evaluated by Bulma herself is a peak that ordinary people can never reach in their lifetime.

So, Uchiha Hikaru clearly understood every word she and Vegapunk said, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand a single word.

no way.

She could only take Esdeath and the others, guided by Vegapunk's clones, to continue visiting the facilities and achievements in the institute.

"…Are these the 'Seraphim' created using the bloodline factors of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

On a certain floor of the institute.

Uchiha Hikaru saw a row of bodies soaked in nutrient solution. Their appearances corresponded to the young appearances of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but they were all sleeping, as if they had not yet been fully activated.

Lilith, the second clone who was following beside her, nodded.

"Yes, these are the latest research results of the main body. Some time ago, the World Government sent people to urge it to be used in the 'Top War', but because it failed the stability test, it was eventually sealed up by the main body and is ready to continue research... If you agree."

Lilith's attitude was very polite.

This of course also represents her original attitude——

Vegapunk was summoned by the World Government to conduct the research he wanted to carry out in exchange for the funding provided by the Celestial Dragons for developing war weapons. Now that the World Government has fallen, whether to continue to provide funding has become a problem, and it is an urgent problem that needs to be solved.

At times like this, Uchiha Hikaru's opinion becomes extremely important.

"Well...of course that's no problem."

Uchiha Hikaru's travels in various worlds during this period were not in vain. She had a large amount of gold and silver mines and financial reserves in the Dragon Clan, Demon Slayer, and Akagi Killer worlds, so it was no problem to support one more scientist. Besides, she didn't need to pay for Vegapunk herself, she just needed to tell Whitebeard and the others.

only……

"I need you to do a few more studies, all related to biological sciences. I may bring a few scientists over later to discuss with you."

That's right.

Uchiha Hikaru had long ago imagined bringing together Dr. Brief, Dr. Gero, and Orochimaru from their respective worlds to organize a "scientific exchange seminar" at the technical level. Previously, because the timing was not right, it had not been implemented. And now...

It's almost time to consider implementing it.

Next, Uchiha Hikaru saw several of the latest models of "Pacifist", some conventional combat weapons such as "bubble guns" and "light swords", a "fusion furnace" that can be used to create the mother fire - the driving fuel for the "Uranus", a large number of artificial organs, and the "Pink Dragon Fruit" corresponding to the Blue Dragon Fruit.

As for the main text of history...she didn't see it and guessed it might have been hidden by Vegapunk.

After all, studying the history of the past 800 years is what the World Government, composed of Celestial Dragons, fears and hates the most. Two years later in the original timeline, Vegapunk was killed by the Five Elders because of this research, so he naturally had to be careful.

but……

It doesn't matter.

Uchiha Hikaru was not very interested in the historical text and had no intention of digging into it. She was trying to get something she liked from Vegapunk, such as:

"This pink dragon fruit looks pretty good. How about giving it to me?"

"……sure."

Uchiha Guang mentioned it casually and got the pink dragon fruit from Lilith.

She didn't plan to use it herself.

After all, this thing is not very useful to her. If she wants to experience the feeling of turning into a dragon, she might as well go find the East Sea Cloud Dragon. However, if Bulma or Eri eats it, the effect that this thing can play may be very extraordinary.

After all, the devil fruit is afraid of seawater defects, which is limited to the pirate world, and should be fine in other worlds. And if the White King bloodline is combined with the Kaido bloodline factor contained in the Pink Dragon Fruit, perhaps some unexpected chemical reactions can be born...

Complete the tour.

Uchiha Hikaru already had a rough idea of ​​Vegapunk's level, so he took Eri and the others back to the original house and met Bulma and Vegapunk who had just finished a discussion.

At this time, Vegapunk was already talking to Bulma as if he was looking at her at eye level, or even looking up at her.

As a genius inventor and user of the Brain-Brain Fruit in the pirate world, he had never seen a human with such excellent comprehension as Bulma. No matter what unconventional topic he brought up, even if he had not yet invested time to study it carefully, Bulma could quickly follow up and make theoretical arguments.

If the age gap between them wasn't so huge, he would have wanted to become sworn brothers with Bulma.

"Xiao Guang, you're back."

Bulma saw Uchiha Hikaru's figure, grinned, and stood up from the chair: "I have talked to Dr. Vegapunk about the topic of cloning. He has done in-depth research in this area. Some of the experiments may not even be done by my father and Dr. Gero. If he joins, cloning Mr. Minato and Ms. Kikyo should be more certain."

"is it?"

Uchiha Hikari raised an eyebrow.

This is indeed what she has been thinking about recently.

Since Bulma said so...

It seems that we can be a little bolder.

……

The day after visiting the Vegapunk Institute.

Uchiha Hikaru began to travel back and forth between several other worlds, and together with Bulma who was eager to help, he tried to organize the "Science Exchange Conference" that he had thought of earlier.
