Thinking this through, Kitahara Tsuneo cautiously asked, "Mr. Vegapunk, what's wrong with your head?"

"Oh, this? I'm a user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, which allows my brain to store an unlimited amount of information."

"It must be very inconvenient, right?" Kitahara Tsune looked at the head that was as tall as him.

"It is indeed a bit inconvenient. I've been researching how to cut out the brain recently," Vegapunk said in a calm tone, uttering these slightly chilling words.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsune cleared his throat twice and said, "I wonder how far your research on bloodline factors has progressed, sir?"

When the topic turned to his area of ​​expertise, Vegapunk abandoned his previous casual tone, widened his eyes, and looked at Kitahara Tsuneo, saying, "While I don't care about the World Government's secrecy, research on lineage factors should be kept quite secret, right?"

"How do you, as a major general, know so much?"

"In my spare time, I occasionally read about science. I stumbled upon this by chance, and it was you who discovered the bloodline factor."

"Oh, I see." Vegapunk shrugged and corrected him, "Judge and I found it together."

He and several scientists had already discovered the lineage factor when they were working at NADS.

Now that so many years have passed, it's not surprising that some people know this.

"I've been researching it," Vegapunk answered the previous question, then countered with, "What? Are you interested in this stuff too?"

At this point, Kitahara Tsune glanced around and said in a low voice, "To be honest, Mr. Vegapunk, I've never been very satisfied with my physical development. I'd like to know if you have any way to help me grow taller?"

"Major General Kitahara, you're putting me in a difficult position."

Vegapunk carefully scanned Kitahara Tsune's body and said, "I think your body is still in its growth stage, no need to rush—"

Kitahara Tsune coughed lightly and said, "The taller the body, the more power I can wield, and the more thoroughly I can uphold justice."

"I do have some technology that can make people taller," Vegapunk said, "but those technologies are for restoring people with physical disabilities to their original height."

"If you're going to force someone to grow taller, there's probably no other way besides professional surgery, right?"

Kitahara Tsune quickly shook his head and said, "You misunderstand, Mr. Vegapunk. What I mean is, is there a way to make my body develop quickly?"

After using his super brain to access information for a second, Gapunk said, "The conventional methods are no longer available, but—"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsuneo quickly pressed on, "But?"

"—There are also some special methods," Gapunk said, "and the method is a Devil Fruit."

"Devil Fruit?" Kitahara Tsune asked, his tone hesitant but his heart filled with unprecedented excitement.

"What are the specific abilities of that fruit?"

"It allows users to change their age at any time, and along with that, their physical condition also changes," Vegapunk said.

"I previously studied the extract of this Devil Fruit with Saint Satan. According to our research, its abilities do indeed match the description in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia."

"If you don't mind, you could give it a try."

Kitahara Tsune's tone was full of hesitation as he said, "Isn't there any other way?"

"As far as I know, no. Perhaps some other Devil Fruit abilities could do that too."

"In that case, thank you for your explanation, Mr. Vegapunk."

Kitahara Tsune's tone was full of gratitude.

He did feel a sense of relief.

Kitahara Tsune had no idea when Bonnie ate the Year-Year Fruit.

However, Bonney is a hybrid of Ginny and a Celestial Dragon, and was born in Mary Geoise. She was only released after contracting the Jadescale Disease.

However, Bonney has not yet been born, so the Year-Year Fruit is most likely in the hands of the SSG, where Vegapunk is located.

Judging from Vegapunk's attitude, he was unaware of the awakened abilities of the Year-Year Fruit. Even if the World Government had a Devil Fruit encyclopedia, it's unlikely they would have recorded the awakened abilities of the fruit.

That's right, Kitahara Tsune has always wanted that fruit, the "Year-Year Fruit" that Bonnie ate.

Before the Fruit of Years awakens, its ability is to change the age of itself and the animals and objects around it.

Before it is awakened, this ability is more like a support ability, and it does almost no increase in combat power.

Only once this fruit awakens can it truly unleash its power.

Once the Year-Year Fruit awakens, it can transform the user into any possible future of themselves.

With enough imagination, one can even become Nika.

The prerequisite is that the person with the ability has a strong enough will and can stick to their imagination.

Kitahara Tsune possesses a cheat-like ability, making his future limitless.

After he ate the Fruit of the Year and awakened, he only needs to be able to demonstrate a "future ability" and have it recorded by others.

Regardless of whether he reverts back to his original form, he will permanently possess this ability thanks to the cheat system.

Knowing the exact location of the fruit he wanted, Kitahara Tsune's tone relaxed considerably.

"Mr. Vegapunk, what are you going to do on Golden Time Island?"

"Didn't we recently experience a bear outbreak? I'd like to investigate why a bear outbreak suddenly occurred worldwide."

"Kintoki Island is the closest to SSG, and there just happened to be a bear outbreak, so I came here."

Hearing this, Kitahara Tsune was not surprised at all.

Vegapunk is a kind-hearted and peace-loving person, so it's not surprising that he studies this kind of thing.

The two had a pleasant conversation along the way.

Thanks to the effect of the quest "Nourishing the Heart" and Vegapunk's straightforward and honest personality, the two quickly grew closer.

Time passed quickly, and the research ship and warships were docked at the port of Kinshi Island.

Kitahara Tsune, along with Dori and Vegapunk, boarded the ship at the port.

"Being with you makes me feel relaxed." Vegapunk narrowed his eyes, looking at Kitahara Tsuneo. "Is this an ability you were born with?"

Kitahara Tsune paused for a moment, then said, "I hadn't really noticed that. You think I have that ability?"

"My observations are infallible. If you have the chance, you must let me study it."

"Of course, don't worry, I definitely won't hurt you."

Kitahara Tsune coughed, selectively ignoring Vegapunk's words.

"Dolly, we've arrived at Golden Time Island. Let's go deal with the bear plague that's happening up there."

With that, he led Dolly ahead of the charge, rushing into the forest filled with a ferocious aura.

Seeing this, Vegapunk didn't react much, just smiled, and notified his assistants behind him. With the necessary equipment, and under the protection of the Marines, they headed towards Kintoki Island.
