One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Next, the situation in Wano Country stabilized.

Just like in the original story, Kozuki Oden was "dancing naked" every day, and the people of Wano Country gradually began to call him "the foolish prince".

Seeing this, the samurai and daimyo who had been recruited by the Nine Red Scabbards gradually fell silent.

The Kozuki Oden camp now only has the Nine Red Scabbards left, who remain loyal to Kozuki Oden.

On Ghost Island and at the research base, Roy used his mental powers to eliminate spies from other factions.

This eased the tense atmosphere among the members of the Beasts Pirates.

Roy instructed Tesoro to use his powers to constantly monitor the experimental base, keeping an eye out for any attempts to open Thor's Isle.

The partners, who were still training on their own, nodded with satisfaction.

After settling his companions in, Roy headed to the core laboratory.

Dr. Gracia is observing the latest batch of experimental data.

Upon seeing Roy enter, he immediately greeted him excitedly.

"Captain Roy! You've come at the perfect time! I have some important news to report!"

Roy walked to the control panel: "Speak."

"During this period,"

The PhD student brought up several data interfaces.

"Based on our observations, the bloodline transplantation experiments following clone transplantation have become stable."

"Thanks to your reminder,"

Dr. Gracia pulled up some videos of blood transplant experimental subjects training.

"The subjects' various indicators are slowly improving, although the increase is not large, the trend is upward."

He retrieved long-term observation data,

"These are the changes in the earliest batch of transplanted experimental subjects over the past three months."

"The increase in the Oni bloodline has increased from the initial 35% to 40%, and the increase in the Lunaria bloodline has increased from 25% to 30%."

"So, after a bloodline transplant, it can continue to strengthen?" Roy asked.

"Theoretically, yes!"

The doctor adjusted his glasses.

"We believe this is because the bloodline genes have formed a stable sequence during the cloning process."

"But when transplanted into a new host, it needs to readjust to the new environment, so its initial performance will be compromised."

"But as time goes on, the bloodline genes will gradually stabilize, and eventually may approach or even reach the level of a clone."

Roy nodded. "That's good news. But... how long will it take?"

"Well... it's hard to say."

The doctor was somewhat embarrassed.

"This depends on the intensity of the test subject's training; we have no idea how far they can grow!"

Roy stared at the experimental subjects undergoing training on the screen, lost in thought.

It is still unknown how much of the abilities of the "Oni Clan" and "Lunalia Clan" can be inherited in the bloodline transplant experiment.

Without complete experimental data to support it, Roy did not dare to let his own people try it easily.

Each of my partners has great potential, and I would be heartbroken if one of them were ruined after the experiment.

But now, the situation at sea is changing every day.

It's believed that the news of Roger becoming the Pirate King will break soon, and the Great Pirate Era is about to begin.

At that time, the world will be plunged into unprecedented chaos, and the power of pirates will inevitably increase dramatically.

The World Government will certainly not stand idly by, and the Navy will definitely begin recruiting.

The great pirates of the New World will surely be restless, and the power structure of the New World will inevitably be reshuffled.

Without sufficient strength and influence, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the chaos.

"Doctor, is there any way to speed up this process?" Roy asked.

"accelerate?"

The doctor thought for a moment,

"In theory, blood growth can be promoted through external stimulation."

"For example... high-intensity training, extreme environmental tests, and even... life-or-death crises in battle."

"Furthermore, I am also conducting research in this area."

As Dr. Gracia operated the screen, a complex set of experimental data appeared on the screen.

He didn't care whether Roy could understand it or not, and began to explain it with great enthusiasm.

"I was inspired by research data from the World Government. Perhaps we could accelerate the growth of experimental subjects through some drugs that can promote rapid growth."

Roy's gaze was fixed on the complex data charts on the screen.

Although he didn't fully understand the specific meaning of those molecular formulas and graphs, he grasped the key information in Dr. Gracia's words.

"Medicine?"

When the topic of medicine came up, Roy immediately thought of the "E.X" drug that Charon had taken.

This drug can boost strength in a short time and also help regulate the two blood vessels in Charon's body.

"That's right!" Roy clapped his hands.

"Since the E·X drug can regulate the balance of different blood vessels in the body, could it accelerate the progress of the experiment?"

Thinking of this, Roy immediately used his mental connection to Charon, instructing him to bring the deadly drug to the laboratory.

At that moment, Charon, who was sparring with Savi, immediately stopped fighting.

Charon, though bewildered by Roy's summons, still went to the laboratory as ordered.

In the laboratory,

Roy explained to Dr. Gracia the two bloodlines that Charon possessed and the effects of the deadly drug.

This greatly shocked Dr. Gracia.

"Two ancient bloodlines coexisting in one body, and their potential can be harmonized and stimulated through medication?!"

Dr. Gracia's voice rose in shock and excitement.

He almost pounced on Charon, who had just entered the laboratory and was still somewhat bewildered, his eyes behind his glasses gleaming as if he had discovered a new continent.

Charon felt a little uneasy under the doctor's fanatical gaze.

He subconsciously took half a step back and handed the small bottle containing "E·X drug" to Roy.

Roy took the medicine bottle and handed it to the doctor.

"Doctor, this medicine might be of some help to you!"

Dr. Gracia carefully took the medicine bottle, as if holding a priceless treasure.

Ignoring Roy and Charon who were still present, he immediately went to a laboratory table and extracted some of the drug powder.

It was put into a sophisticated machine to analyze its components.

The instrument emitted a soft hum, and the data on the screen began to scroll rapidly. The doctor stared intently at the screen, muttering to himself.

"The active ingredient is abnormally active..."

The energy fluctuation spectrum shows dual harmonic properties...

It contains components that inhibit rejection... and substances that stimulate the deep potential of cells... Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!

He turned abruptly, his gaze towards Charon becoming even more fervent.

"Charon, could you please cooperate with some basic testing?"

"For example, could we draw a small amount of blood to measure changes in your various physical indicators, especially blood vessel activity, before and after taking the medication?"

Charon looked at Roy, and seeing Roy nod, he readily agreed, "No problem, Doctor."

Over the next half hour, the doctor directed his assistant to conduct a series of rapid tests on Charon—blood draws, scans, energy sensing, strength tests, and so on.

At the same time, he also took a small portion of the original E·X drug and Charon's blood sample for further cross-analysis.

Roy waited patiently, knowing that this could be a crucial breakthrough.

Finally, the preliminary analysis results are in.

Dr. Gracia's face beamed with barely suppressed excitement. Pointing to the side-by-side data comparison charts on the screen, he reported to Roy:

"Captain, unbelievable! The mechanism of action of this E·X drug is far more sophisticated than we imagined!"
