Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

New world.

Egghead.

As soon as I followed Borsalino into the institute, the first thing that caught my eye was the steel passages that stretched in all directions.

Multiple entrances appeared in front of me, and I could see animals and beasts that had undergone mechanical transformation patrolling back and forth from time to time, responsible for expelling and eliminating all invaders.

"The bodies of these creatures have undergone semi-mechanized transformation, so they can receive and understand commands and execute them unconditionally."

Borsalino waved at the manic animals that rushed over in a frenzy. A flash of red light flashed in their eyes, and then they retreated without any struggle and hid in the darkness again.

Darren nodded.

Biological mechanization transformation, he had seen similar technology at Quinn's place.

The fat man in overalls applied similar technology to his body, giving him a mechanical arm and a mechanical tail, and loaded with various shells and laser weapons, which can be said to have greatly enhanced the attack surface of the ancient animal species.

However, compared with Quinn's purely mechanized and weaponized biological transformation, the technical development direction of these beasts in front of us is obviously different.

Vegapunk's biological transformation technology is more sophisticated and in-depth than that of the fat man in overalls, and has reached the stage of "brain control".

If Darren guessed correctly, the big bear in the original plot accepted the changes of this biological transformation technology, and only then did he have a steel body on the basis of his original flesh and blood body, and even his emotions and consciousness were wiped out in the end.

"This way, it's the research floor."

Borsalino walked in front, and after leading Darren and Stussy through a long steel passage, they arrived at a spacious area.

Huge machines rose from the ground, and in large glass test tubes filled with green liquid, human organs such as hearts, kidneys, and lungs floated one by one.

The light green liquid in the test tubes occasionally emits bubbles, and the internal organs can even be clearly seen trembling constantly, which is obviously "active".

"These things..."

Darren narrowed his eyes.

Borsalino raised his hands in surrender:

"Don't look at me like that. These are all artificial organs...organs made by cloning technology."

Darren looked at these things and suddenly asked:

"Is this technology mature?"

Borsalino shook his head and said:

"Not yet. Although they are cloned artificial organs, I don't know why, once they are transplanted into the human body, they will still produce immune rejection reactions."

His expression became meaningful.

"And the stronger the body receiving the organ transplant, the stronger the rejection reaction."

Darren frowned and said:

"Isn't cloning technology already mature? Even Germa 66 can produce cloned soldiers in large quantities."

Borsalino mocked:

"So the average lifespan of Germa 66's cloned soldiers is basically less than 10 years."

Darren was silent for a while.

Borsalino smiled and said:

"Perhaps the human body itself has memory. Even if it is the same gene, it recognizes that the transplanted part is not the partner that fought side by side with it."

Darren did not continue to extend this topic, and looked at the other side of the experimental floor.

"What is that?"

Borsalino looked along his gaze and soon showed a playful smile.

"That, it's a very interesting thing."

He walked over slowly, slid on the screen of a large machine, and soon locked on a certain word on it.

Borsalino's actions were not concealed at all, so that Darren and Stussy could clearly see the series of choices he made.

-"Mammalian·Felidae·Orange Cat"

As he pressed a red button, the large machine made a dull roar.

In less than half a minute, a small hatch in the center of the large machine slowly opened.

When the white mist dissipated, a cherry-shaped fruit appeared in front of Darren and the others.

"Is this... an artificial devil fruit!?"

Stussy's pupils shrank into pinholes in an instant, and he looked horrified and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Borsalino picked up the "devil fruit", held it in his hand and gently tossed it up, smiling:

"Yes, an artificial devil fruit."

"As you have just seen, this is the animal-type cat-cat fruit in the form of an orange cat."

"Although it is an artificial devil fruit, because the bloodline factor is exactly the same, the effect is not much different from the real one."

"It's just that the user will have some minor shortcomingsIt's just a side effect of the devil fruit."

Darren raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What side effects?"

Borsalino casually threw the devil fruit into the garbage disposal next to him.

Such an action made Stussy's eyes twitch involuntarily.

Even the most common animal-type devil fruit is a valuable treasure!

But Kizaru threw it away without even looking at it?

But on second thought, if he had such a machine that could produce artificial devil fruits, he might not care at all.

Accompanied by the roar of the processor destroying the artificial devil fruit, Borsalino spread his hands and said:

"Who knows? Maybe it's a beastly personality, or maybe it's the inability to control a certain function of the body, such as uncontrollable crying or laughing... It's such an insignificant side effect, but Mr. Vegapunk regards these artificial devil fruits as complete failures. It's a pity. "

"... Geniuses are perfectionists,"

Darren was not too surprised by this, but asked with a little curiosity:

"Besides the animal type? Can the superhuman type and natural type devil fruits also be artificially created?"

Borsalino muttered:

"Not yet, the superhuman type and natural type... especially the natural type, it is extremely difficult to crack the secret of their bloodline factors, even Mr. Vegapunk has fallen into a bottleneck."

"In addition, Mr. Vegapunk has made new breakthroughs in several other research projects."

"He once again confirmed the 'sea' attribute of seastone, and tried to embed seastone on the bottom of the warship to block the perception of sea king creatures, so that the warship has the possibility of safe and free entry and exit of the doldrums."

"In addition, the gigantic experiment has also made some progress. "

He scratched his head and continued to walk to the other side, muttering as he walked:

"Well, of course, this information was not leaked by me... but you sneaked into Egghead and obtained it from the secret compartment in the archive room 201, Building A, on the second floor of the laboratory floor of the institute - the password is 9527."

Thank you for everything. Thank you very much.
