One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Chapter 448 Giants are the evolved form of humans

Regardless of whether these players' ideas and developments regarding the Six Styles of the Navy are right or wrong, they represent a new application direction. Players, due to insufficient strength, cannot put their ideas into practice to verify their feasibility. However, Yang Ming, with millions of naval soldiers and many capable generals under his command, can gain some benefit from these ideas. Even if it only increases combat power by 10%, when multiplied by millions of people, it is still a considerable increase in combat power.

Yang Ming copied down the ideas about the Six Styles of the Navy from the player forum, and instead of giving them to Vice Admiral Jonathan as advice, he posted them directly in the mission hall of the Navy Headquarters as a bounty.

Money, shares, positions, military ranks, famous swords, Devil Fruits—these are all bounties.

Yang Ming was not a capitalist and would not exploit his soldiers. He always regarded them as his own brothers and sisters, and the stronger his brothers and sisters were, the stronger he would be.

Adhering to this philosophy, Yang Ming has always been extremely generous.

Not only that, Yang Ming also sent the same excerpt to Caesar Courant, asking him to study it carefully.

At first, when Caesar Clown saw those somewhat brain-dead ideas, especially the development guide for the strongest bed fighter, his lips twitched violently, and his mind was filled with black lines. He felt that this was really not serious. Who in a normal way would think of developing Iron Block and Shave like this? Damn it!

When Caesar Courland looked down, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Paper painting can use life return. Can we store life force together, or transfer life force to other people, and then use the accumulated life force to transform the essence of human life and become a more advanced species?"

"This, this, this..."

Caesar Courland held the excerpt, his hands trembling.

Back then, scientists like Caesar Clown and Vegapunk were dedicated to research projects such as lineage factors and transformation giants. From the research of lineage factors, Caesar Clown figured out artificial Devil Fruits. The legion of ability users created by these artificial Devil Fruits is now the elite legion directly under Yang Ming's command, possessing extremely terrifying combat power.

But over the years, while completing the tasks assigned by Yang Ming, Caesar Clown has not forgotten his research on the Titans.

However, how to transform humans into giants remains a century-old problem, seemingly unsolvable.

But now, after seeing this imaginative idea from the player, a daring fantasy involuntarily surfaced in Caesar Clown's mind:

"Could it be that giants are a new race resulting from a fundamental transformation of human life?"

It's no wonder Caesar Clown had such thoughts, as the giant race and humans have far too many similarities, with no other differences except for their size and height.

What's even more chilling is that there is no reproductive isolation between giants and humans!

It is important to know that there is reproductive isolation between different species in nature. This is because the DNA and RNA in their bodies will conflict, resulting in a conflict at the genetic level, which will prevent them from reproducing normally. Only species of the same kind or closely related species, which have similar gene chains, can reproduce normally.

If this is true, then it's a huge problem!

Because, for eight hundred years, world governments have been investing a lot of human and material resources in researching the Transformation Giant project!

This means that the world government may have known all along that giants were a species evolved from human life, but for some reason, this technological achievement was buried in the long river of history.

As for the reason?

A vast kingdom from eight hundred years ago!

Caesar Courant shook his head, not intending to delve into this matter further. He was a scientist, not a historian, and there was no need to fuss over such things; otherwise, it would be pointless.

Caesar Courland immediately sought out Major General Shuen, who was in charge of protecting the research institute, hoping that he could assist him in conducting related research.

Xiu En was of average character. Despite possessing the Paramecia-type Rust-Rust Fruit, he was only a sergeant. If he hadn't followed Marshal Shura, he would have been lucky to be promoted to colonel, let alone major general, let alone have such a lucrative position as protecting the research institute.

Protecting research institutes is a low-intensity, leisurely job, and you don't have to fight on the front lines—it's incredibly easy.

Under such a privileged lifestyle, Major General Xiu En developed a bulging belly, making him appear much fatter and no longer as slender as before, looking much more prosperous.

Upon receiving Caesar Courant's request, Major General Shuen rushed over without hesitation.

Rear Admiral Xiu En knew perfectly well that he and Caesar Clown held vastly different positions in Marshal Shura's eyes. One was a second-tier figure, while the other was a rising star in Marshal Shura's eyes. The research institute's continuous production of artificial Devil Fruits and Iron Man Mark series armor armed elite naval soldiers, making great contributions to the navy's expeditions. Caesar Clown was undoubtedly a major contributor, so Rear Admiral Xiu En naturally wouldn't hesitate to help him.

Even though Caesar Cullen asked Major General Shuen to be a test subject, Major General Shuen did not complain at all. On the contrary, he was relieved and a little excited. He was willing to contribute to Marshal Shura's cause!

When life returns, one can freely control the body, hair, and internal organs. As long as consciousness is infused into it, one can freely control any place.

CP9 agents have some experience with training related to life return.

Rob Lucci developed the Life Return Paper Body technique, which greatly increases speed in his *** form, making his entire body resemble a human, while his attack power is correspondingly reduced.

Weiqu developed the Life Return: Hair Binding technique, where hair, like octopus tentacles, binds enemies, can extend and retract freely, and has a strong binding ability.

At this moment, while eating the high-protein, low-fat food of the Sea King, Major General Xiu En used Life Return to condense his life force in his body, but did not release it.

Food that has just been eaten is digested and transformed into nutrients at a speed visible to the naked eye as soon as it enters the stomach.

Life force substances were refined from a large amount of nutrients and continuously condensed, condensed, and condensed again in Major General Xiu En's body. At first, the effect was not very obvious. One day, two days, and three days passed without any change. It was not until Major General Xiu En continued to use his life to return and refine for a whole month that the quantitative change finally achieved a qualitative change. Major General Xiu En's body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chapter 449 Feasibility of Mass Production of the Giant Legion

Life force substances were refined from a large amount of nutrients and continuously condensed, condensed, and condensed again in Major General Xiu En's body. At first, the effect was not very obvious. One day, two days, and three days passed without any change. It was not until Major General Xiu En continued to use his life to return and refine for a whole month that the quantitative change finally achieved a qualitative change. Major General Xiu En's body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Major General Xiu En could clearly feel that his bone density was higher, his body was more toned, and his height had increased!

In just a few breaths, Major General Xiu En, who was no different from a normal person, was suddenly raised to the height of a human head.

Don't underestimate the height of a mere human head!

It's important to understand that humans only possess such rapid and vigorous growth during their youth. Once they reach adulthood, their bodily functions reach a point of saturation, making further progress extremely difficult.

Caesar Cullen's eyes gleamed as he circled around Major General Shuen, occasionally clicking his tongue in amazement and pinching the muscles of Shuen's arm or leg. If Major General Shuen hadn't known that the other was a thoroughly evil and mad scientist who was completely devoted to scientific research, he would have almost suspected that Caesar Cullen had some kind of evil intention towards him.

Scientists like Caesar Clown and Vegapunk had, over the course of eight hundred years, come to know the giant race very well and why ordinary people could not grow to the height of giants.

From a scientific perspective, humans are bipedal animals, with all their weight resting on their two legs. As the total body size increases, the weight borne by the legs also increases, especially at joints like the knees, which bear even greater weight and are quite fragile, making it difficult to support too much weight, thus indirectly limiting human height.

When an average human grows to over 1.8 meters tall and weighs over 200 kilograms, whether it's walking or aerobic exercise like sprinting, it will cause great damage to the knees and ankles.

According to this theory, if a human were to grow to a height of over 10 meters, his leg bones and joints would have to be incredibly thick to support him walking like a normal person.

In this regard, the Long-Legged Tribe, renowned throughout this ocean, is a prime example.

The Long-Legged Tribe has a body that makes up less than one-fifth of its total body size; the rest is mostly legs. And although their legs are generally very slender, scientists have discovered through dissection that the leg bones of the Long-Legged Tribe are much stronger than the bones in other parts of their body.

Perhaps this explains why the members of the Long-Legged Tribe are all skilled kicking fighters.

Of course, at this point, a careful observer will notice that these long-legged people give off the feeling of a failed experiment.

Yes.

Races like the Long-Arm Tribe and the Long-Leg Tribe are like failed attempts to develop the special talents of ordinary humans.

The most successful example of combining the advantages of long-armed and long-legged races is undoubtedly the Giant race.

The giants have normal body proportions like ordinary humans, and every bone in their body is equally strong, which makes their bodies more balanced and able to support their enormous weight.

If that's all there is to it, then so be it!

As Major General Xiu Zuo lay flat on the experimental table, allowing Caesar Courland to tinker with a series of high-precision scientific research devices to perform a full-body scan on him, it was astonishing to discover that not only had Major General Xiu Zuo's bones, flesh, and meridians changed, but most importantly, the persistent life restoration had also tempered his internal organs!

Why did such a large group of creatures as dinosaurs disappear in ancient times?

It is precisely because the oxygen content and average temperature of this world have decreased that, under the condition of constant gravity, it is difficult for large creatures to survive on land. Otherwise, they would suffer from the pressure difference between their inside and outside, making it difficult for them to breathe, which in turn would lead to organ failure and eventually death.

But now, Caesar Couran is surprised to find that Major General Xiu Zuo's internal organs, after being tempered by the life return, are able to adapt to his larger size and are even more energetic, helping him absorb more oxygen from the air to sustain his body's functions.

Of course, there are advantages as well as disadvantages.

Major General Shuzo's transformation, both inside and out, has led him to need to eat more protein-rich foods every day to replenish his body's daily energy expenditure and needs.

The oxygen content in the air and the availability of food in nature both naturally limit the number and development of the giant race.

Otherwise, once the number of giants reaches a critical point, the world will decline and perish.

Caesar Clown didn't know whether Major General Shuzo would experience a gradual decline in fertility like other Titans, because this thing couldn't be measured with testing instruments; Major General Shuzo would have to conduct experiments to find out the answer.

Based on Caesar Courant's rational reasoning, this is probably quite possible, and perhaps it is a kind of balance that the world has achieved.

Otherwise, given the strength of the giant race, if it weren't for their infertility, they would have long since conquered the world instead of living in the giant kingdom of Elbaf.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

Despite Major General Shuzo's current height of just over two meters, Caesar Cullen could already foresee that a terrifying legion of giants would be born in his hands!

When Caesar Clown delivered the good news to Yang Ming, Yang Ming was making personnel adjustments to Admirals Sakazuki of Akainu and Kuzan of Aokiji, which was actually the final showdown.

Inside Yang Ming's office, several admiral-level combatants were gathered. Besides Admiral Sakazuki Akainu and Admiral Kuzan Aokiji, Admiral Fujitora Issho was sitting quietly in his seat. On the other side were Magellan, the warden of the Deep Sea Prison, and Admiral Green Bull Aramaki.

Yang Ming placed his hands, fingers interlaced, on his chin, exuding a calm yet compelling sense of authority as he looked at the crowd:

"In order to make final preparations for the Navy's upcoming decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, I have decided to promote Magellan and Aramaki to replace Akainu and Aokiji in their current positions. If there are no questions, then you can sign this appointment letter. Afterwards, I will inform the Five Elders and the Navy to confirm this matter."

Yang Ming placed his hands, fingers interlaced, on his chin, exuding a calm yet compelling sense of authority as he looked at the crowd:

"In order to make final preparations for the Navy's upcoming decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, I have decided to promote Magellan and Aramaki to replace Akainu and Aokiji in their current positions. If there are no questions, then you can sign this appointment letter. Afterwards, I will inform the Five Elders and the Navy to confirm this matter."

Upon hearing this, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu and Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji reacted very differently.

As early as during the reward ceremony after defeating the Bigo Pirates, Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji had already keenly sensed that this day would come.

To be honest, he didn't have a single complaint in his heart. On the contrary, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

A person's character determines their destiny.

Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji was known for his lazy nature and his love of traveling around the world by bicycle. If God gave him another chance to make a choice, he would definitely not choose to join the army, but rather to become a traveler and record the scenery and customs along the way.

For Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji, becoming a Marine Admiral was the beginning of a nightmare.

The admirals of the Navy Headquarters are not free; on the contrary, they are bound by various rules and regulations, and are even directly responsible for the safety of the Celestial Dragons and nobles, doing many things that go against their original intentions and conscience.

He'd had enough!

Therefore, Admiral Kuzan quickly signed the appointment letter, resigning from his position as Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and fully assuming the post of Governor-General of the North Sea. He treated it as a trip to the North Sea, secretly thinking to himself:

"I heard that after Kizaru became the governor of the West Blue, he has been skipping work and taking his salary to go out and have fun. When I get to the North Blue, I will have to learn from Kizaru."

Upon thinking of this, Admiral Kuzan's originally calm and composed state of mind suddenly became excited.

No need to go to work, yet you get a high salary and can travel everywhere!

What kind of amazing profession is this?

Even Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji began to fantasize about the wonderful days to come, perhaps even being able to solve his single status as a high-achieving older single man.

But clearly, some people have the exact opposite idea.

Admiral Sakazuki Akainu had also guessed that he would lose his position as a Marine Admiral sooner or later. Given Fleet Admiral Shura's iron-fisted methods and his tendency to be decisive, he knew that he would definitely be ousted, as he had once been a rival of Shura.

However, all of this is based on defeating the Whitebeard Pirates!

"boom!"
