One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 349 Artificial Devil Fruit

"My dear, the leader of the Self-Valiant Army, Drago, wants to meet with you!"

Yadina came over and said.

"Doragu? Why did he come to see me?"

Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Before, I gave the Self-Defense Forces special arms treatment because of their special nature. However, as the Self-Defense Forces developed, their needs grew, but I never increased their arms orders, but maintained them at the original level!"

"Only in this way can we let the Self-Defense Forces know that if they want to develop, they cannot do without the support of our Wuji Pirates. Otherwise, if we directly provide them with assistance, they will think that our Wuji Pirates are doing charity."

Yadina said bluntly.

I have to say that Yadina's skills are becoming more and more powerful, and she is becoming more and more like a strong woman!

"Then let's meet him and go to Venice to fight the pyramid!"

Li Yuan naturally wanted to meet Dragon, after all, they were both enemies of the World Government!

"Is this Li Yuan, the strongest man in the world who defeated the old man?"

Dorag hid his identity and came to the Fighting Pyramid. After arriving at Li Yuan’s exclusive room, it was also the first time he met Li Yuan in person!
As his son, he was well aware of how powerful his old man was. Even now he was unable to contend with that kind of unstoppable physical skills and domineering power, but he did not expect that he would eventually be defeated by this man who was very close to his age.

"Hello, I'm Dragon, the leader of the Self-Guard Army. I want to get assistance in supplies and arms from the Promise Pirates. What do I need to pay?"

Dragon said seriously. He understood one thing clearly: if you want to get something, you need to pay for it. Even though they are enemies of the World Government, it is impossible for them to provide free financial support to the other party just because of this.

They are all enemies of the world government. This only provides them with a possibility of cooperation. As for how to profit during the cooperation, it depends on the willingness and means of both parties.

"Oh? So direct? I thought you would be polite!"

Li Yuan said with interest.

"If I can get you a discount on your goods by being polite, I would really like to be polite to you!"

Dorag said.

"Hahahahaha, that's true. I can trade with you what you want, but I will only accept half of the Berry. The other half can be exchanged for gold, silver, jewelry, devil fruits, famous swords, rare metals, etc."

Li Yuan said.

He also had no intention of making things difficult for Drag. The stronger the Self-Defense Forces were, the better. This would attract the attention of the World Government and weaken the World Government's ruling power.

For Li Yuan, this is a sure win. As for whether the Self-Guardian Army will grow stronger and pose a threat to the Wuji Pirates, this has never been within his consideration.

"Okay, but I want to order 7 billion worth of arms and 3 billion worth of daily necessities first!"

Dorag didn't expect that Li Yuan's request was just this.

Half berry and half treasure, this is the rule for the allied countries to exchange heavenly gold. After he overthrew many kingdoms, there were many treasures in the treasury, which could be used for trading.

"No problem. Just make a list and it will be sent to you in three days."

Li Yuan nodded.

After confirming the cooperative relationship, Dorag did not stay here any longer, and Li Yuan had no intention of continuing to chat with Dorag, so Dorag soon left the Wuji Sea.

"Husband, what do you think of this Dorag?"

After Dorag left, Yadina came out from the back of the room and asked curiously.

"His strength is quite good. In the Promise Pirates, I'm afraid only Barrett can compete with him. Of course, this does not include me!"

Li Yuan said.

According to his observation Haki, Dragon is definitely a top-level strong man, but he doesn't know how strong he is exactly.

"Is that so? It seems I have to pay more attention to the power of the Self-Defense Forces in the future!"

Yadina said.

"Don't worry too much. The current Self-Defense Army is a mess. Even if it grows stronger or even reaches its peak in a short period of time, it will decline in a short period of time."

Li Yuan said.

The development of a force is not so easy. The nature of the Self-Defense Force has determined from the beginning that it cannot appear openly in the eyes of the world.

As long as the World Government does not fall, the Self-Defense Forces will always be rats in the gutter. Once discovered, they will face the most severe blow from the World Government.

And this kind of attack is even more severe than the attack on pirates. After all, pirates are just pirates occupying a certain area of ​​the sea in the eyes of the Five Elders, but the Self-Defense Force has the potential to shake the foundation of the World Government. It is for this reason that the Five Elders will never let the Self-Defense Force go. It is too difficult for such a force to grow and develop!
Holy Land Marijoa:

With a large number of slaves working day and night without sleep, after two years of continuous reconstruction, part of the central area of ​​the holy land of Marijoa has been repaired, at least there is no problem for the Celestial Dragons to live in it.

And since the last bombing, the Celestial Dragons have used extremely hard materials to build their buildings, and have also built shelters underground.

If such a large-scale explosion happens again, the Celestial Dragons can hide in the underground shelters as soon as possible.

"The scale of the Self-Defense Force is growing. We cannot allow them to continue to expand. We must curb their development and then completely wipe them out!"

The God of Science and Defense, Saint Satan, said seriously.

"We previously sent the army to suppress the Ziyong Army, but the effect was not very good. Now we have the CP department join in and do our best to find out where the Ziyong Army came from and completely wipe them out!"

"As for the navy, they have recovered after two years of recuperation. Let them temporarily put aside the pirate suppression and join the operation to eliminate the Self-Defense Forces."

Said Saint Peter, the God of Agriculture.

"That's right. We really can't let the Self-Guard Army have any chance to rise. The God's Guard has been reorganized. If necessary, let them send some people to wipe out the Self-Guard Army. Just treat it as a training!"

"The training of the God's Guards can no longer follow the previous model. When necessary, they must experience enough battles so that their potential can be fully stimulated!"

Said the Financial Martial God Nasu Juro Sei.

"In addition to the Self-Defense Forces, there is also a group of scholars who are trying to interpret the blank 100-year history!"

"They have touched upon our forbidden territory. We cannot allow them to continue their research. These ants should be exterminated!"

"I have already sent Spandam from CP9 to the island where the scholars are. Once they are sure of where they are, they will issue the Demon Slayer Order and kill all of them!"

The God of Law and War, Vochuli Saint.

The Promise Pirates:
"Soros, I heard your experiment was successful?"

After Li Yuan became familiar with his Seven Star Sword, he received the news that Soros had successfully created an artificial devil fruit, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

"Captain, I succeeded. Look, this is a normal animal-type devil fruit, the Bull-Bull Fruit, Yellow Bull Form!"

When Soros saw Li Yuan coming, he excitedly took out a devil fruit and said.

"Have you done all the experiments?"

Li Yuan picked up the devil fruit and looked at it carefully.

"I have done it. I have used the same devil fruit four times before. I have solved all the problems that have arisen before, such as the body exploding and death after eating the artificial devil fruit, only being able to turn certain parts into animals, and not being able to return to human form after eating the devil fruit and turning into a beast. And so on!"

"This devil fruit now is a perfect animal-type devil fruit. It is basically the same as a real animal-type devil fruit."

"The only difference is that naturally born devil fruits can be awakened, but artificial devil fruits, in my opinion, should not be able to awaken, because I have not studied devil fruits in an awakened state!"

Soros said.

"You just said that this is an ordinary animal-type devil fruit. Does that mean that we can't make ancient animal-type devil fruits now?"

Li Yuan continued to ask.

"That's right, Captain. We can only make ordinary animal-type devil fruits now. I'm currently working on the ancient animal-type devil fruits. It will probably take a year or two to complete."

Soros answered truthfully.

"So can this artificial devil fruit be mass-produced now? Maybe a few artificial devil fruits are nothing, but after real mass production, I'm afraid there will still be some problems."

Li Yuan said.

Any product may not have any problems in the sample stage, but when mass production begins, all problems will be exposed.

"Captain, I have already designed the factory and have people start building it. It should be completed in a few days."

"But artificial devil fruits require many special plants. If we want to mass produce them, those special plants are not enough."

Soros said.

"Don't worry about the special plants. There is a group of dwarfs living behind your laboratory. They have the ability to cultivate any special plants. When the time comes, I will ask Yadina to arrange for the dwarfs to help cultivate the special plants needed for artificial devil fruits."

Li Yuan said.
