Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 130 Artificial Devil Fruit Technology

Vegapunk said seriously to Suzuki:

"Alright, you can have it, no problem."

"However, you must use this technology carefully, and the creation of mythical beast species is actually very troublesome, and success is not guaranteed."

Indeed, copying Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits is extremely difficult, and it's highly likely that only Vegapunk could accomplish such an incredible feat.

It's important to understand that when Caesar Clown and Doflamingo teamed up in the future, they only created what is known as the artificial Devil Fruit SMILE.

The flawed Devil Fruits created with that technology became quite useless after Kaido took them to Wano Country. Not only could only one in ten people who ate the artificial Devil Fruit SMILE gain the power of the Devil Fruit, but there were also strong side effects.

In Ebisu Village of Wano Country, those residents who loved to laugh were the price of defeat; they lost all expressions except laughter.

but……

Suzuki wasn't aiming for instant success; he just wanted the technology to be better than the future Caesar Crow.

Vegapunk pulled out a pen and paper from his pocket and quickly began writing down documents about artificial Devil Fruit technology.

As he wrote, he spoke with deep emotion:

"Devil Fruits are truly amazing things."

"It's very simple to replicate ordinary Zoan-type organisms. You just need to extract the lineage factors of animals to create SAD substances, and then find some plants to absorb these substances."

"Plants that have absorbed SAD will grow into Zoan-type Devil Fruits."

"Of course, it would be even simpler if we could directly replicate existing fruits!"

"However, mythical beasts are more troublesome."

"I drew Kaido's blood many times back then. You should know Kaido, right? That guy not only has a special Devil Fruit ability, but his race is also extraordinary."

"I studied his body for a long time and conducted many experiments on Kaido before I was able to barely replicate a failed product."

"However, all I can give you is the technology to copy Zoan-type Devil Fruits."

"I only have a vague idea about Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, so I probably can't give them to you."

"As for Logia-type fruits, I still have no clue about that type."

"I really don't know what the principles are behind those Logia-type Devil Fruits. The idea of ​​elementalization is just so unscientific!"

"..."

As they talked, Vegapunk had already finished writing the document on artificial Devil Fruit technology, and he solemnly handed it over:

"Suzuki, even though this is just a cloning technique for a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, it's still very easy for it to be coveted on the high seas!"

"Kaido seems to have always wanted something like this. If you use it, be careful not to let him find out; he's quite strong!"

"Thanks!"

Suzuki accepted it with a grateful expression.

He certainly knew what Vegapunk was talking about.

Kaido, who has gradually become known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air, has already occupied Wano Country and formed the future Four Emperors' pirate crew—the Beasts Pirates!

This monster-level powerhouse, who possesses the Mythical Zoan type Fish-Fish Fruit - Azure Dragon form, has always had a strong preference for Zoan-type Devil Fruit users!

He even wanted to form the strongest pirate crew, composed entirely of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users.

but.……

The technology to replicate Devil Fruits is something the ninja world itself needs.

Furthermore, what about Kaido?

Suzuki didn't think he would be weaker than him in the future; in fact, he thought he would be stronger than him in just a few years.

Looking at the documents on artificial Devil Fruit technology in his hand, Suzuki smiled.

Finally, I got it...

Immediately afterwards, Suzuki spat out some special metal synthesized using the Swallow Fruit.

Just like artificial Devil Fruit technology, different things have different values ​​in the eyes of different people. These alloys are not particularly valuable to him, but they may be very useful to Vegapunk.

So Suzuki prepared to give Vegapunk some alloy made from the Gluttony Fruit as a return gift:

"I have some special metals here, which should be considered quite precious. You can try to study them and see if they can have an extraordinary effect on you."

"If you study this metal and find it interesting, you can contact me when you have time."

"OK!"

Vegapunk nodded, took the metal Suzuki handed him, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

What material is this made of?

This seems to be a new synthetic metal that I've never seen before.

Just as this scientific genius was stroking the alloy in his hand and lost in thought, Suzuki, who had already achieved all his goals, did not waste any more time.

With a smile in his eyes, he formally bid farewell to everyone:

"Gentlemen, may we meet again on the high seas!"

"Okay, goodbye—"

The scholars of Ohara, along with Monkey D. Dragon and Vegapunk, began to say their goodbyes.

A moment later, Suzuki turned and headed toward the edge of Ohara Island.

It wasn't until they had walked some distance that Little Robin's farewell came belatedly, her clear voice calling out:

"Suzuki-nii-san, I'll do my best!"

"goodbye--"

Suzuki smiled and waved, his figure gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

……

Monkey D. Dragon, wearing a hood, watched Suzuki's departing figure, his gaze growing increasingly profound.

Traveler, what do you intend to do with the technology for creating artificial Devil Fruits...?

He recalled the details of Suzuki's exploits written on the bounty poster, including his rampant hunting of Devil Fruit users along the Grand Line and his own bizarre and unpredictable Devil Fruit abilities. All of this made Dragon feel that things were not so simple.

but……

As the son trained by Garp the Iron Fist, Dragon is not worried about how much harm this technology will cause.

It's just ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit cloning technology. In terms of harm, it's far less than the human giantification experiments that the World Government has always wanted. Rather, he even hopes that Suzuki can do something to attract the attention of the World Government and the Navy.

Monkey D. Dragon gathered his thoughts, looked at Vegapunk beside him, and slowly said:

"After that, I'm afraid I won't be on the high seas for a long time, and these scholars need to find a suitable place to settle down."

"I'll probably never go back to Marine Headquarters again."

"So, I'll be relying on you a lot more from the Navy and the World Government from now on!"

Vegapunk, unusually serious, looked at Monkey D. Dragon and asked:

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Ah, it's decided," Long said calmly.

Vegapunk frowned. "Fine, but don't expect me to be of much help. The World Government is still very difficult to fool!"

Monkey D. Dragon smiled but didn't say anything more.

He waved his hand, and suddenly a gentle breeze blew, slowly lifting up the many scholars standing beside him.

Monkey D. Dragon looked at Vegapunk with a determined expression and said:

"We might not see each other for a long time to come. Anyway, take care!"

After saying this, the dragon led the scholars on the wind and floated into the sky.

Vegapunk watched the departing figure in the sky, sighed helplessly, and soon followed suit, leaving the island as well.

From then on, Ohara fell into complete silence, with only a few scattered rubble and ashes offering a glimpse into its former lush greenery and bustling prosperity.
