Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 727: The Secret of Sea Tower Stone (44)

If he had not touched a secret that should not be touched, the Five Elders would not have issued a wanted order and disbanded his laboratory.

For some reason, Vegapunk just wanted to see Ron's shocked look to prove that he was not that unsightly.

And he did succeed, at least he succeeded in attracting Ron's attention.

"Tell me carefully!"

Ron raised his eyebrows without changing his expression.

"Yes!"

Nodding, Vegapunk knew that once these words were spoken, there was no turning back, so he explained decisively.

"As you know, Pyrobroin keratin particles, let's call it this name for now... This is a mysterious substance that is widely distributed in the world, even everywhere."

"First of all, I want to make one thing clear. The reason why the Five Elders closed my laboratory was not because I had researched the bloodline factor technology, but because I was studying the truth about the devil fruit!"

"Oh? So what you mean is...?"

Ron asked.

"That's right!"

In response to this, Vegapunk said confidently.

"There is no doubt that the truth about the devil fruit is related to the secrets they are hiding! If I am allowed to study freely, it might cause a big mess, so they controlled me and kept me under their noses."

"So... then what? Is there any point?"

Ron suddenly said: "The biggest secrets in this world are nothing more than these three: the blank 100 years of history, the existence of ONE PIECE, and the truth about the devil fruit."

"A lot of people will link them together, and your point of view is not unique."

"But I am undoubtedly the one who is closest to the truth in 800 years!"

Vegapunk said confidently.

"Even the Pirate King Roger only knows what happened, but not the secrets!"

Seeing this, Ron narrowed his eyes slightly: "Pyrobroin keratin particles?"

"That's right!"

Nodding, Vegapunk continued, "According to my investigation, I found that the Pyrobroin keratin particles are the same as the information you know. When they are piled together in large quantities, the mysterious fluctuations they emit will induce biological gigantism and completely change the genetic information, making gigantism hereditary from generation to generation."

"So I started investigating and found that this kind of fluctuation is most intense in the seabed mineral layers, especially in the seastone veins!"

Hearing this, Ron's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Sea King?!"

He knew very well that seastone veins were mostly found in the doldrums!
This is another reason why seastone is so rare. Deep in the doldrums, mining it is as difficult as hell.

"Not only that!"

Seeing this, Vegapunk smiled confidently.

"Later, my discovery on the sky island of Arpaiado further proved this point! The animals and plants there are clearly species unique to Qinghai, but their size is dozens of times larger than their counterparts in Qinghai!"

"According to the Sky Island legend, the Pyrobroin keratin particles were caused by the eruption of the Qinghai volcano and rushed into the sky. They then condensed into nuclei, attracted water vapor, changed the density, and formed island clouds and sea clouds."

"So I have reason to suspect that Pyrobroin keratin particles are not unique to seastone, nor are they unique to the ocean... They have been distributed in every inch of the air we breathe due to millions of years of crustal movement and natural disasters, but the concentration is not high enough to be detected."

"So... I dissected a corpse, a giant's corpse!"

This time Ron was really shocked.

“Elbaf! Could it be that…?!”

"Yes, just like the sea kings and the plants and animals in Arpaiado, I also detected the special fluctuations of Pyrobroin keratin particles from that corpse!"

"By the way, I was the one who pushed the Navy to buy giant orphans and train them as warriors for the purpose of anatomical experiments."

"Then I discovered that they were just a group of normal humans whose genetic information had been modified to become gigantic!"

"Is there any evidence?"

"Of course!"

Vegapunk swallowed and said, "I seriously suspect that there is a seastone vein in Elbaf, a seastone vein exposed on the ground, but due to the other party's xenophobia, it has never been confirmed."

"So two years ago, after Caesar completed the railgun, he conducted a secret experiment that could not be made public."

"By extracting prismarine containing a large amount of Pyrobroin keratin particles, he obtained a stimulant named 'NHC10'!"

"The subjects who took this stimulant all grew unreasonably large during the experiment! And taking a large amount in a short period of time will result in the same thing as the strong water and dangerous drugs you know, at the cost of overdrawing their vitality, they will become violent and extremely powerful!"

"He even created a real race of giants with this potion! Even though just a few minutes ago, he was still an ordinary person with a normal body size."

"But I think the end of that experimental subject must not be very pleasant."

Ron recalled that in the original book, Caesar was forced to conduct an experiment on giants for BIG MOM. At that time, he clearly stated that the experiment would not succeed and it was just an excuse to defraud the experimental funds.

"Indeed, the test subject died before the enlargement process was completed."

Vegapunk did not hide this. "The huge impact of Pyrobroin keratin particles on life forms requires accumulation and mutation from generation to generation, which is an evolutionary process of hundreds of years. He condensed it into just a few minutes, and was able to keep the whole body in the end, which was beyond my expectation."

"However, due to its violent nature, the giant experimental body was out of control and its destructive power was extremely shocking. With the pacifists in the know, this dangerous experiment was decisively stopped by the Five Elders."

"He was very unwilling to accept this, but fortunately, the electromagnetic cannon and the lightning stimulation device were used to divert attention, so Caesar didn't keep pestering him."

"I take it back, Vegapunk."

Ron grinned: "You are indeed different!"

Vegapunk deserves respect for being able to discover so many things and help him connect the scattered information in his mind.

He deserves to be one of the world's top 500 scientists!

"General Canglong, you are too kind!"

The latter bowed modestly, and then said: "And the discovery I am going to tell you next is the most important secret!"

Two of the three mysteries of Pyrobroin keratin particles have been preliminarily solved, but even Ron couldn't help but feel nervous about the remaining one.

"According to what I said before, devil fruits are things with special life fluctuations. Their life is the fluctuation."

Without much hesitation, after so many years of having to explore the truth alone, Vegapunk now just wanted to find someone to listen.

"However, the special vibrations of Pyrobroin keratin particles are completely incompatible with it. They will disrupt or even erase this vibration. They are completely opposite entities!!!"

"For the latter, Pyrobroin keratin particles are a poison!"

"But it's just nonsense to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage. There is also a concentration issue involved."

"The specific effect is that if the user's entire body comes into contact with seawater, they will become weak, and even if there is only a small piece of seastone the size of a fingernail, they will lose all their abilities."

"The difference is the difference in the concentration of Pyrobroin keratin particles between seastone and ordinary seawater... So I have reason to suspect that if the concentration is high enough, the ability user will even be directly poisoned to death!"

"I see. Is this why you came to me to borrow the prismarine?"

Ron suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Five Elders assigned Vegapunk to find him.

Because when it comes to the concentration of Pyrobroin keratin particles, nothing can compare to the sea crystal stone that is associated with sea stone.

Speaking of prismarine, is there any piece that can compare to the Heart of the Ocean in your hand?
In order to deal with Orrick's mysterious and unknown fruit ability, they had to be fully prepared.

"Yes, although I don't know what the connection is between these two opposing waves, I still have some experience in applying them."

Hearing this, Vegapunk smiled confidently: "So even so, Admiral Canglong still chooses not to report me?"

This is the research result that he is proud of. Even death and becoming a puppet cannot stop him from recognizing himself.

This is the stubborn backbone of being a scientist!

However, Ron suddenly turned his head with a strange look on his face.

"why?"

Vegapunk: "..."

Did you understand what I said?!

What I have researched are extremely outrageous!

It involves the real secrets of the government!
Now I have a dark little secret and I'm thinking about something evil. As one of the people in power, how can you not care?

How can you not care?!

At this moment, Ron slapped his forehead.

"Well, since you mentioned Caesar, I guess the Five Elders should know these things, right?"

"Yes, but that's different!"

Vegapunk suddenly felt very aggrieved.

Why is it that the man in front of me doesn't take me seriously enough for what I have researched so hard? Even the Five Elders are afraid of it. So why is it that the man in front of me doesn't take me seriously at all?

Even if we take a step back and assume that this experiment is successful, it would be a way to actually kill him and solve the problem of his immortality, right?

What kind of monster is this man?!
"Nothing is different, Mr. Vegapunk."

At this moment, Ron shook his head, stood up and looked out the window.

"I still say the same thing, as long as you don't touch the bottom line... I don't bother to pay attention to you."

"The truth is meaningless to me. I chose to listen to your explanation, not only to clear my confusion, but also because Orrick has become a major concern for us and needs to be dealt with urgently."

"In my eyes, there is no past, only the present and the future!"

"Do you understand what I mean, Mr. Vegapunk?"

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk fell silent for a while, as calm as water.

These setting issues must be written about, they are unavoidable in One Piece fan fiction. It really killed a lot of my brain cells. Please help me check if there are any obvious BUGs.
