I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 339 Latest Developments in "S Cells"

A flash of pale purple light accompanied it.

Uchiha Hikaru activated "Shangri-La" again in mid-air, arriving at a place not far from the shipwreck site. He surveyed the surrounding area from above the turbulent sea.

At this time.

People have already started surfacing from the sea.

They are Gizas Burgess, the helmsman of the Blackbeard Pirates who ate the "Strength-Strength Fruit," and Van Augur, who ate the "Teleportation Fruit."

These two guys were rather weak and couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Kamehameha. By the time the raft sank, they were already barely breathing. The impact of the seawater triggered the side effects of their Devil Fruit powers, and they were practically dead. Bleeding from all seven orifices, they looked rather gruesome.

Uchiha Hikaru covered Naruto's eyes at just the right moment.

Children should avoid watching such violent and bloody scenes.

Although Naruto is already seven or eight years old, much more mature than a four or five-year-old, if he gets provoked and starts thinking wildly with "Hokage thinking" like Itachi Uchiha next door, he might develop some kind of mental illness, which would be difficult to explain to the Fourth Hokage later...

The sea kings around them originally intended to pounce on and devour the corpse.

However, they were all stunned by the aura that Uchiha Hikaru casually released, and stopped what they were doing. After looking at this side with hesitant or fearful eyes for a while, they retreated one after another in the direction they came from.

I waited a little while longer.

Then, the black-bearded man surfaced from underwater, clutching a log. Although he looked badly injured, he was still some distance from death. At that moment, he was loudly shouting in pain.

soon.

He noticed Uchiha Hikaru's gaze, then suddenly looked up, his expression contorted due to his injuries.

"...It's you!"

"The vice-captain of that 'Dimensional Pirates'... what are you doing here?!"

"Oh, you know me?"

Uchiha Hikaru was a little surprised, but didn't seem to mind, simply smiling slightly: "Alright, that way I don't need to introduce myself anymore. You seem to be feeling unwell, do you need any help?"

"..."

Blackbeard gritted his teeth, staring at Uchiha Hikaru with a venomous expression, as if he wanted to spit fire from his eyes.

However, Uchiha Hikaru was no longer going to give him a chance to speak.

After blinking, she cast a Golden Binding Illusion on Blackbeard, binding his body tightly. Then she activated "Shangri-La" again, teleporting everyone present back to Nine Serpents Island.

As the group's presence gradually faded away.

The sea kings that had been away returned and set their sights on the remaining crew members of the Blackbeard crew.

Screams echoed across the vast sea...

……

The day after Blackbeard was captured.

Uchiha Hikaru then took him back to Whitebeard's place.

To be precise, they returned to the island where the Whitebeard Pirates had taken shelter and where Kikyo and Tamayo had temporarily stayed.

Whitebeard is here too.

Upon seeing the black-bearded man, the white-bearded man was instantly enraged. He grabbed his naginata and was about to rush forward to execute this rebellious son who had murdered his companion.

However, before that slash came down, Uchiha Hikaru spoke up to stop him.

"...The deceased is gone, killing him would be of no use. It's better to spare his life and let him make some use of his remaining years."

If these words were spoken by someone else, they would probably be of little use.

But it was Uchiha Hikaru who spoke.

So Whitebeard really stopped, and after a moment of calm, he gradually composed himself: "Alright. Since Miss Hikari says so, then I'll spare his life for now... In any case, thank you, Miss Hikari, for bringing this traitor back. From today onwards, the Whitebeard Pirates will become the most loyal allies of the 'Dimensional Pirates'! This is my promise, Edward Newgate!"

"You're too kind."

Uchiha Hikaru himself didn't care about the "alliance".

Furthermore, due to Ace and Yamato's friendship, the "Dimensional Brigade" and the "Whitebeard Pirates" are natural allies.

However, since the white-bearded man was being so formal, she played along a little and tagged Bulma in the group chat.

— "Alliance" is a matter between captains, what does it have to do with her, a first mate?

Compared to this...

She was more interested in the research findings of Kikyo and Ms. Tamayo.

"...The first phase of clinical trials for 'Demon Transformation Potion 2.0' is almost complete. Based on the results collected, it is in line with expectations, and the probability of curing Mr. Whitebeard is estimated to be over 70%."

"In addition, through analysis of the blood of other people, especially Mr. Marco, we isolated a special bloodline factor that has a good compatibility with 'Demon Transformation Potion 2.0' and should be able to further enhance the effects of the potion."

"besides……"

"Miss Kikyo and I also conducted another experiment, which involved adding Saiyan cell extract to the Demon Transformation Potion and observing the subsequent changes. From this experiment, we discovered some new information."

In the laboratory on the island.

Tamayo handed a stack of documents to Uchiha Hikaru and explained them to him.

Uchiha Hikaru wasn't surprised by the information above, but his brow twitched when he heard "Saiyan cells".

"You mean...?"

"Yes, it's the cell fluid extracted from your and Bulma's friend, that little Goku."

Ms. Tamayo nodded, giving an affirmative answer.

The matter of "Saiyans" was no secret to everyone in the chat group.

Outside of the group members, Uchiha Hikaru had basically told Dr. Brief about this information, and selectively revealed some of it to Dr. Gero.

Because of her and Bulma's involvement, these two top scientists in the Dragon Ball world began to connect and collaborate on scientific projects.

And Miss Tamayo...

I learned this information from Kikyo and Dr. Gero.

"...I know that you, Ms. Hikari, and Ms. Bulma are looking for a special kind of 'S cell'. Ms. Kikyo and I have also discussed this issue recently. Although we haven't completely determined what kind of 'S cell' it is yet, we have a general idea and scope."

Please take these materials to Dr. Gro, as well as Mr. Brief and Miss Bulma; they should be of some help to them.

Ms. Tamayo said this.

"Understood."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded: "I'll find time to bring the things over as soon as possible."
