Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 339 Seraphs and Traps

As a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Nami is known as the Weather Queen in this world, and her abilities are a great counter to Dragon.

The remaining Valkyrie Legion members were all elites, at least at the level of a Navy Vice Admiral, and some of them possessed Devil Fruit abilities, making them comparable to pirates with a bounty of 10 billion.

The members summoned by Stussy alone were roughly equivalent to the original high-ranking forces of the entire Revolutionary Army. However, Stussy did not immediately begin the plan, but instead had them train with the Revolutionary Army women to improve their teamwork.

In particular, Belo Betty's Encouragement Fruit ability has an immediate effect on pseudo-strong individuals like Valkyries, whose physical attributes have been enhanced but whose Haki and willpower are far from sufficient.

After several hours of working together, Nico Robin, her face flushed and her spirits high, joined in with Princess Vivi and a group of new Valkyries.

Princess Vivi, as a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, is not much weaker than Nami, and like Nami, she is one of the fastest speedsters in the world. If the two of them team up, even if Dragon has the Logia-type Wind-Wind Fruit, they will definitely be able to handle it.

However, both Nico Robin and Stussy aimed for a decisive and thorough kill, eliminating any potential threats. Therefore, the two visited the laboratory inside Mary Geoise and obtained some special weapons from there.

The laboratory in Mary Geoise was managed by two people: Vegapunk Evil and Vegapunk Desire, who were Vegapunk's so-called clones, Lilith and York.

Vegapunk is a great guy, so the clones he created are more like independent individuals with some kind of mysterious connection to him than clones. He didn't impose any constraints on them, otherwise York wouldn't have betrayed him so easily in the original story.

If this were Uchiha Touya, the clones he created would at least be bound by the absolute prohibition against betraying the original body. Now, he has created something that is completely different from his original body and is essentially just an incarnation.

However, this approach also has an advantage: there is no need to consider the original body's ability to withstand the pressure, because after the two are separated, there is absolutely no pressure on the original body's mind.

In the original work, even the communication between these clones and the main body is conducted through a special technological device. Once the technological device is damaged, these clones will no longer be able to sense the existence of other clones. It can be seen that, in a sense, they are completely new life forms.

Vegapunk is a good person, but not all of his clones are good people. Both Lilith and York can be considered villains. Lilith's nickname is "Evil," and she will ruthlessly extort others for research funds. York is even more ruthless. In order to become a Celestial Dragon and the one and only Vegapunk, he wants to send all the other Vegapunks to their deaths.

However, these two beauties who possessed Vegapunk's knowledge have now become research members under Uchiha Touyu's command—and it is only the two of them who are relatively easy for Uchiha Touyu to control.

As for the remaining Vegapunk—sorry, the Heavenly Demon Secret doesn't yet have the ability to control robots, and Vegapunk's true form is even more bizarre, with his head submerged in formaldehyde. Uchiha Touyu doesn't dare touch that huge head, which can be considered a hybrid of mechanical and biological components, in case something goes wrong with Vegapunk, it would be a huge loss.

Of course, Uchiha Touyu can also confirm that Vegapunk is a repressed pervert. Look at the four clones he created; they are mechanical clones with great advantages in research, while the side representing evil and desire consists entirely of beautiful women. You can imagine what kind of little thoughts are going on in that big head of his.

However, regardless of anything else, York and Lilith are both Vegapunk, so their technological talent is definitely maxed out. They have obtained a lot of knowledge from Uchiha Tou, especially about the creation of artificial humans. The two of them made great progress in the Seraph Project and created many powerful Seraph warriors.

However, these Seraphim are not based on the original Seven Warlords of the Sea. Instead, they are artificial female warriors created by mixing the genes of incredibly talented women such as Charlotte Linlin, Hancock, Shirahoshi, Momousagi, and Yamato, as well as the bloodlines of some powerful minority ethnic groups. In terms of strength, they are much stronger than the original Seven Warlords clones.

The so-called special weapons are naturally these Seraphim, among which Charlotte Linlin's Seraphim is the strongest. It inherited Charlotte Linlin's Steel Balloon and the power from the artificial Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit - Phoenix Fruit. In terms of strength alone, it is even stronger than the original Charlotte Linlin!

After all, Charlotte Linlin herself didn't develop her own abilities much. Although her clones didn't have time to train, they incorporated the characteristics of several minority races, so their foundation was still not much different.

After further development of the Uchiha Tobi-no-Mae technique, coupled with the Phoenix Fruit which is even more suited to her talents, it can be said that her strength is almost at the ceiling of the One Piece world.

This is only because these Seraphim were created not long ago and haven't undergone much training or combat. If this Seraphim Charlotte were allowed to train for three to five years and eat a couple more powerful Devil Fruits, she could probably defeat all four Emperors by herself.

Even now, when Charlotte Linlin, with flames burning behind her, silver hair, and dark skin, appeared, the three women of the Revolutionary Army felt a chill run down their spines.

That was the oppressive aura that came from the original Four Emperors. Charlotte Linlin herself was a woman who could be described as terrifying, and the enhanced androids she created were even more oppressive in this respect.

"Has the World Government already been able to produce such a powerful fighting force?"

"Being able to directly create such powerful combat forces doesn't mean you can control them! If it weren't for Lord Feiyu, these latest Seraphim wouldn't be so obedient."

Indeed, compared to the juvenile versions of Seraphim created by Vegapunk before, the latest Seraphim are not only powerful and full of potential, but they also inherit the unruly nature of the Primarch, unlike the original Seraphim who obeyed orders.

The concepts of first-level and second-level command permissions are meaningless. Perhaps it's because the android technology from the Dragon Ball world that Vegapunk absorbed has inherent flaws; the more powerful it is, the more difficult it is to control.

"Hehehe, although our nickname is Seraph, you can treat me as a normal human being. I have all the emotions that humans possess, because powerful forces may burn even hotter than human emotions and desires!"

Charlotte Linlin's clone smiled and spoke. Although the original Seraph also possessed human intelligence, it always gave people a mechanical, rigid, and flawed feeling. However, the Seraph who walked over now was no different from a human in any way.

"Also, I don't want people to call me Seraph or Homunculus. Those are just names for things, not names for people."

"If you really want to call me by my name, then just call me Charlotte Lingling. It's a pretty good name, although the original owner didn't deserve it, but I still like it very much."

After she finished speaking, Charlotte Linlin crossed her arms, leaned against a stone pillar with a smile, and looked at everyone without saying a word.

The three Revolutionary Army girls looked a little embarrassed, but soon, Stussy and Nico Robin began to assign tasks. After listening carefully, everyone began to carry out the plan.

There's not much to say about the specific plan. With such overwhelming strength, even in a direct confrontation, Dragon would almost certainly be unable to escape death, let alone now that it's a sneak attack where the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark.

With Charlotte Linlin, Nami, and Princess Vivi leading the attack, surrounded by a group of Valkyries, and six traitors from the Revolutionary Army, the enemy would have no chance of escaping unless they were deus ex machina.

Even trying to escape is useless. Mary Geoise has Violet, the user of the Gaze-Gaze ​​Fruit, observing them. With a visual range of over 4 kilometers, she can guarantee that unless it's the Flash or Superman, no one can escape her eyes.

The ocean below is also teeming with summoned sea monsters and sea kings. Even a pure physical superhuman like Garp would be completely drained of his strength and turned into bones if he fell into the sea, let alone a Devil Fruit user.

Beyond Mary Geoise, on the Red Line, in a hidden cave.

Dragon frowned as he gnawed on his dry rations. Although the Red Earth was vast and sparsely populated, the terrain was mostly plains, so starting a fire would produce very noticeable smoke. Therefore, the leader of the revolutionary army could only eat cold, dry rations.

While munching on dry rations, Dragon listened to the information carried by the wind. As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, the Wind-Wind Fruit, he possessed not only catastrophe-level destructive power but also a specialized version of Observation Haki, similar to that of Rumble-Rumble Fruit users and Gravity Fruit users.

Although its accuracy cannot match that of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user, and its sensory range cannot match that of the Gravity Fruit user, its Observation Haki, which is integrated into the wind, still has its own unique characteristics. Its greatest ability is entirely focused on hearing, allowing it to easily gather information from others' speech.

Unfortunately, Mary Geoise itself was shrouded in a formation, making it impossible to hear anything from inside Mary Geoise. Otherwise, the Revolutionary Army wouldn't have needed to send out any spies.

Ok? !

Dragon suddenly stood up, his expression grave: "Something's happened, they escaped?"

Just now, in Dragon's Observation Haki perception, Mary Geoise, which was still a complete, empty void, suddenly cracked open, and then some familiar auras emerged.

However, Dragon did not leave immediately. Instead, he took out a Den Den Mushi, sent a message, and then, as soon as the message was sent, he quickly turned into a whirlwind and disappeared from the spot.

With gusts of wind, Dragon quickly appeared on the outskirts of Mary Geoise, his eyes showing a solemn expression as he looked at the fleeing group.

"Something seems off..."

Judging from the expressions of the fleeing men and the ruthlessness of their pursuers, his subordinates were indeed being hunted down. However, when Dragon cautiously used his Observation Haki to foresee the future, he was shocked to find that there was no sign of the future.

Observation Haki is not omnipotent. Against some powerful individuals who have developed Haki to a higher level, the ability to foresee the future is basically useless. However, such powerful individuals will not entangle themselves with their subordinates for so long.

In reality, the Valkyrie Legion was somewhat helpless. Charlotte Linlin, the strongest among them, and Nami, who possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, could indeed restrain the future-predicting Observation Haki, but they could never mislead the future-predicting Observation Haki.

In other words, it can prevent the opponent from using their ability to foresee the future, but it cannot prevent them from foreseeing the wrong future.

Almost the instant Dragon's precognitive abilities were activated, both Nami and Charlotte Linlin knew that the easiest plan had failed. However, they weren't too worried—Drag, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, was known for his caution, unlike that of the Monkey family. The simplest sneak attack plan had a low probability of success to begin with.

So they had already devised a plan to forcibly keep him here. Now that they saw that Dragon wasn't taking the bait, Nami and Vivi didn't hesitate. One of them transformed into lightning, and the other into a beam of light, and they rushed directly towards Dragon.

With his Observation Haki ineffective, Dragon barely had time to react before his arms were grabbed by two of the fastest Devil Fruit users in the One Piece world. He then felt his body stiffen, and his Devil Fruit powers instantly became unusable.

"Seastone weapons?! Oh no!"

Dragon looked down slightly and saw that Nami and Vivi each had a Seastone bracelet on their hands. Because they were wearing white gloves, they were not in contact with the Seastone and could still use their Devil Fruit abilities. However, he, who had been put on the bracelet, had lost his Devil Fruit ability and fell directly from the sky.

Fortunately, Dragon wasn't the kind of fool who relied entirely on his Devil Fruit powers. As a former Marine, his mastery of all three types of Haki and the Six Powers was quite high. Before hitting the ground, he used his feet to stomp on the air, greatly reducing his speed, and ultimately landed perfectly without injury.

Looking at the Valkyries surrounding him, especially Charlotte Linlin standing in front of him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Looking at the six spies he had sent to infiltrate the area, he saw that they were looking at him as if he were a stranger, even with hostility. He knew then that his plan had completely failed.

"It seems that Mary Geoise's mysterious ability to twist minds doesn't discriminate between men and women! It's a pity I found out about it a little too late."
