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

Chapter 350: Akame and Perona
"In that case, there won't be any problem in mass-producing artificial devil fruits."

"By the way, Captain, take a look. This is my newly invented mechanical prosthesis!"

"It can be worn by people whose arms and legs have been cut off, and these prosthetic limbs can be connected to human nerve tissue, so that the prosthetic limbs can be controlled directly by the brain, making the prosthetic limbs as easy to use as real limbs!"

"More importantly, these prosthetic limbs are made of the strongest metal and are equipped with various mechanisms, which can achieve many functions that human limbs cannot achieve."

"For some people who are missing arms or legs, after installing this kind of prosthesis, their combat power can not only be restored to its peak, but can even become stronger than before!"

Soros took out a lot of mechanical limbs and introduced them to Li Yuan.

"Very good. This thing has a huge market in the world. We also have many disabled members in the Wuji Pirates. We can install this kind of mechanical arm on them."

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

In the original work, after Zefa's arm was cut off, he also installed a mechanical arm, which was quite powerful.

Now Soros has also figured it out. In the future, all kinds of weapons can be installed on the mechanical arms, and even sea stones and various hard metals can be installed. This can completely make a pirate's strength undergo a major transformation!

"By the way, Soros, you said that these robotic arms are connected to human nerves. So is it possible to build a huge robot and have one person control it from the side of the robot?"

"And if the robot is connected to the human brain nerves, people can control it with their minds instead of manual operation. Then, wouldn't this robot be as flexible as a human?"

Li Yuan's thoughts immediately diverged.

"Captain, the mechanical arm is connected to the nerves through the wound and the brain nerves!"

"If, as the captain said, humans use the nervous system to control robots, then the various nerves in the human body must be extended and connected to the robot's operating system."

"In this way, humans inside the robot will be like a vegetable, unable to move. Plus, with so many nerves connected to the robot, the slightest mistake will cause nerve damage to the human."

Soros explained.

"So that's how it is. It seems I took it for granted!"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, if it is really as Soros said, it would be better to control the robot manually.

"How far have the research on ancient weapons and the improvement of Hades progressed?"

Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Captain, the technology of ancient weapons is simply amazing. Such advanced technology is simply incomparable to modern technology. It's like an invention that transcends time!"

"With my current technical level, I can't understand many of the core technologies in ancient weapons. My current level of understanding can only be used for those non-core technologies of ancient weapons!"

"Not only that, many of the materials used in ancient weapons, even if I ask Caesar who possesses the Swallow Swallow Fruit to help synthesize them, considering Caesar's current development of the Devil Fruit, Caesar can only produce a small part of them, and there are still many core materials that cannot be produced!"

"It can be said that according to my current level of technological advancement, it would take at least 20 years for me to fully analyze the core technology of ancient weapons. If I want to copy them, it is not a matter of technology, but a matter of energy and materials."

"As for the improvement of Hades, the structure has been completely improved, and the power system and weapon system are now installed with the latest and most powerful ones of the Wuji Pirates. However, compared with the real Hades, it is still far behind."

When Soros talked about ancient weapons, his crazy and passionate eyes were very similar to those of fanatical scientists, or perhaps Soros himself is a fanatical scientist.

"I see. Since the research on ancient weapons will eventually lead to problems with energy and materials, from now on you should study energy issues while studying technology. It just so happens that many of the weapons made by Caesar have energy problems!"

"As for the materials, I will talk to Caesar and ask him to develop the ability of the Swallow Swallow Fruit more, at least to produce all the materials you need."

Li Yuan nodded.

He didn't expect Soros to be able to analyze the ancient weapons technology now, but at least Soros believed that he would be able to analyze the ancient weapons technology in the future.

You know, even Vegapunk in the original work still couldn't master the technology of ancient weapons after more than 20 years, but instead made many things that seemed useless to Li Yuan.

Now Li Yuan's goal for Soros is to analyze the weapon system and energy problems of ancient weapons, strive to solve the energy problem as soon as possible, and then manufacture Pluto's weapon system.

If we really can't build a new weapon system, we can use the real Pluto sleeping underground in Wano Country. Then as long as we have energy, we can start it up again!

Grand Line, Akili Islands:

"Monster, get out of here!!"

"Ah, it's a ghost kid, stay away from my house!"

"Flying monster, don't come over here!"

"."

A three-year-old girl was floating in the air, wearing tattered clothes and looking pitiful, and her stomach was growling.

She wanted to go over there to get some food, but as soon as she showed up, she was ruthlessly driven away by many people.

"I, I'm not a monster, I really am not"

Perona looked at everyone's disgusted eyes and the wooden sticks in their hands. With tears in her eyes, she stepped back timidly, fearing that those people would really hit her.

She was just too hungry and ate a strange fruit, but she didn't expect that she would be able to fly later, and scary ghost-like things would emerge from her body from time to time. "You are a monster. Last time you attacked my son with that scary ghost, my son has been hiding in his room and dare not come out. Get out of here and don't come near my house!"

A fat woman holding a hoe yelled at Perona.

"I, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

Perona was too hungry after all, so she had to endure it even if others scolded her.

"Get out of here, don't even think about eating. Even if we feed it to a dog, we won't feed it to a monster like you!"

"If you don't leave, we will beat you to death!"

Those people hate Perona and there is no way they would give Perona food!

"Don't, don't hit me, I'm leaving now!"

Seeing those guys coming up with hoes and sticks, Perona was so scared that she flew away and didn't dare to stay here any longer. She didn't know how many times she had been beaten before, and she would rather starve than be beaten!
"Wow, wow, wow, I'm not a monster. I really am not a monster!"

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!!"

After being driven away, Perona hid in an empty corner and cried sadly. However, as she cried, she felt her whole body go weak and she almost lost the strength to cry.

"Little sister, this is for you to eat. It's delicious!"

Akame, who was happily eating the sesame seed cake she had bought, heard crying in the corner. Seeing Perona's pitiful appearance, she handed the sesame seed cake she had already eaten to her.

“Thank you, thank you!!”

Perona was so hungry that she was attracted by the aroma of the pancake. She didn't even bother to see who gave it to her. She just grabbed the pancake and started to eat it voraciously.

"I'll give you these to eat too!!"

Seeing that Perona was so hungry and pitiful, Akame gave the other two pancakes in the bag to Perona to eat!
Perona accepted everything offered to her. She had been hungry for a long time, so when she saw the sesame cake, she immediately grabbed it and started eating it.

"Don't choke, drink some watermelon juice!"

Seeing that Perona was eating too fast, Akame handed her the half-drunk watermelon juice.

"Gulugulu!!"

Perona, who was over three years old, finally felt full after eating two and a half pancakes and half a cup of watermelon juice.

"Beautiful sister, my name is Perona, thank you for giving me food, you are a good person!"

After Perona had eaten her fill, she looked up at the beautiful older sister in front of her, her eyes full of gratitude.

"It's okay. I've been hungry before, so I know how uncomfortable it feels. But why are you crying here, little sister? Why don't you go home to find your parents?"

Akagi once felt that the training arranged by her father was too difficult and arduous, and coupled with the willful character she had developed since childhood, she didn't want to train anymore and simply gave up and stopped training.

Although Dad didn't say anything, Mom punished him by not allowing him to eat.

Akagi, who had never been hungry since she was a child, only realized when she was so hungry that she felt weak all over that the most terrible thing in the world was hunger.

So from then on, no matter how big or difficult the training was, Akagi no longer dared to throw a tantrum and could only train honestly. The feeling of being hungry was far more uncomfortable than training or being injured!
So she didn't want to be hungry the most, and she couldn't bear to see others feel uncomfortable when they were hungry.

"Wow, wow, wow, my mom and dad abandoned me a long time ago, they left here, they don't want me anymore!"

"I ate a strange fruit and became able to fly. Then everyone said I was a monster, hated me, beat me, and refused to share their food with me!!"

Hearing Akagi ask this, Perona started crying again. Maybe it was because she was full and had the energy to cry. The more Perona spoke, the sadder she became, and the sadder she became, the harder she cried, and her tears fell freely, which made Akagi feel so sorry for her.

"Be good, little sister, don't cry. Since your parents don't want you anymore, just follow me from now on. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to hit you, and you won't have to go hungry anymore."

Akahime touched Perona's little head and said gently.

"Are you telling the truth, sister?"

Perona looked up at Akame with tears in her eyes and asked sincerely.

"Of course it's true. My name is Akagi, and you will be my sister from now on. As a sister, how can I let my sister starve?"

Akahime said as she gently wiped away Perona's tears.

"Wuwuwuwuwu, sister, my name is Perona!!"

Hearing Akahima say this, Perona grabbed Akahima's hand and cried even harder. This was the first time Perona felt this kind of warmth since being abandoned by her parents.

"Okay, Perona, stop crying, I'll take you to take a bath!"

After Perona calmed down, Akame picked her up and walked out of the dark corner.
