Finally, before the deadline set by the World Government, they arrived at the edge of the Ice Continent not far from the Kingdom of Flowers. The precious icebergs on this continent contained all the treasures robbed by the Eight Treasures Navy.
On this vast snowfield, there are only biting cold winds and flying snowflakes as companions.
When the group set foot on the snow-covered land, they did not rush to look for traces of the treasure, but instead let Vivi and Nami start an all-out contest.
Even though many people later obtained more powerful mythical beast fruits, Nami still firmly occupied the strongest position after El with the comprehensiveness of the Thunder Fruit and her own efforts.
However, the space on the Orange Windmill is limited after all, and they cannot fully display their skills.
Faced with the so-called invincible natural thunder fruit, Vivi quickly transformed into a human-beast form, with nine cloud-like tails spreading leisurely behind her, like an ice and snow goddess from ancient times.
As a strange fragrance spread, Vivi's figure became erratic, and every movement left a shadow that was difficult to distinguish between real and fake. She launched a fierce attack on Nami from all directions.
Nami was not fooled by these illusions. She held a long stick made of lightning and swung it. A ring of lightning spread out like a wave, easily dispelling the illusions created by Vivi.
At this moment, Vivi's true form appeared behind Nami like a ghost, with armed color domineering wrapped around her slender fingers, and a finger gun with a sharp gust of wind pierced Nami's back.
With the blessing of the Thunder Fruit and the guidance of El, Nami, who was about to increase her observation Haki to the point of predicting the future, easily saw through Vivi's sneak attack.
She dodged the attack by moving sideways easily. At the same time, the long stick in her hand turned into a stream of light and gave Weiwei a severe blow.
The tail behind Vivi shook gently, and several ice cones appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the long stick in Nami's hand like sharp arrows. Frost and lightning exploded in the collision.
Seeing this, Nami's body was filled with electric light and arcs of electricity kept jumping around her. Amidst the roar of thunder, countless bolts of lightning submerged Vivi with overwhelming force.
Faced with Nami's powerful attack, Vivi did not retreat. The Nine-Tailed Fox behind her shook continuously, and the power of ice burst out instantly. Countless ice walls rose from the ground and turned into an indestructible ice house, withstanding the bombardment of thunder and lightning.
Under the cover of the igloo, Vivi's whole body was covered with armed color domineering. Her left hand condensed freezing cold frost, while her right hand released scorching hot flames. The two completely opposite forces were perfectly integrated in her.
When the igloo was shattered, Vivi, with unstoppable momentum, rushed towards Nami under the cover of ice and snow and engaged in close combat with her.
After realizing Vivi's intention, she turned into a flash of lightning and easily avoided the opponent's frontal attack. She moved around at high speed, and silver snakes danced wildly in the sky, submerging Vivi.
Faced with difficulties, Weiwei did not give up. The power of ice and fire flowed in her body, sometimes turning into an ice shield to resist lightning, and sometimes turning into a fire spear to fight back.
The two sides fought back and forth in an extremely fierce battle, and the entire battlefield was illuminated by the interweaving light of lightning, ice and fire.
After the thrilling battle with Nami, Kerla used the power of her fruit to gently pat Vivi and Nami on the back, instantly dispelling all their fatigue.
After regaining her vitality, Nami excitedly greeted everyone and couldn't wait to go to the treasure place.
This area was once the territory of the Babao Navy. No one has set foot here since Qingjiao's cone head was flattened by the navy hero Garp 30 years ago.
The treasures accumulated by the Babao Navy for hundreds of years were frozen under this cold land from the moment Qingjiao could no longer open the treasure house of ice.
When they finally reached the ice layer where countless gold and silver treasures were buried, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
These treasures lie here quietly, reflecting a golden light under the sunlight, waiting for the arrival of their new owner.
However, it is not easy to break through this thick ice treasure house. El first let everyone try their own methods. After they failed, he took action himself and used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to shatter the treasure house that had frozen countless treasures.
Nami melted all the scattered gold into huge golden pillars, and then Kerla used her fruit ability to launch them into the palace of Alabasta.
When the last piece of treasure was placed on the flame cloud that El had spread, all that was left was a quiet frost and a faint, almost imperceptible scent of treasure.
As the Orange Windmill flew toward Alabasta wrapped in bubbles, the girls sat together, chatting and laughing, slowly choosing their favorite pearl and gemstone jewelry.
Chapter 159 Return to Egghead Island
When they were about to cross the towering red earth continent, the phone in Al's arms suddenly rang, and the screen lit up, showing an incoming call from Vegapunk.
Al quickly answered the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end: "Al, everything is ready on my side, and the migration plan will be launched soon. It's safer to leave early. You and Kerla should come to Egghead Island as soon as possible."
"No problem, Doctor, we'll set off now." Al replied, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Has Big Bear been notified?"
"Yes, Big Bear is on the moon, and Lilith asked her to come directly from the moon. In any case, you should hurry as well." Vegapunk said in an urging voice.
After hanging up the phone, Al told them about the news about Vegapunk.
Then he began to make arrangements: "Kerla and I will go directly to Egghead Island from here, and you will continue to head towards Alabasta."
Then he said to Weiwei: "Weiwei, when you return to the palace, discuss a time with King Cobra. It would be best to announce the news of your leaving our pirate group before the Egghead Island incident occurs."
Weiwei nodded and said, "I will ask my father to contact the newspaper. Through the newspaper, the whole world will know about it as early as tomorrow."
Robin put forward her own opinion: "We can announce to the public that Vivi joined the Shichibukai of the World Government in order to find a way to change the land of Alabasta. This way, it will be easier for everyone to accept it."
After confirming the plan, Kerla and Al broke through the bubble and flew towards Egghead Island like a meteor.
After receiving a call from his daughter, King Cobra learned that she was going to leave the pirate group and stay in Alabasta, so he immediately summoned Ikarem and asked him to arrange people to guard the back garden and prepare to receive the golden pillar.
Then let him announce to the people that a celebration will be held tomorrow to welcome Princess Vivi, who has made great contributions to the country, back to Alabasta.
Upon learning the news that Princess Vivi had returned, Ikalem was surprised and quickly acted according to the king's instructions. He also ordered the court tailors to speed up the production of the crown and clothes for Princess Vivi to attend the celebration.
As night fell, huge golden pillars landed precisely in the palace garden like divine soldiers descended from the sky.
After hearing the report from the guards, Ikalem immediately arranged for them to safely transport the golden pillar to the royal treasury, and asked his wife to prepare food in advance and wait for Princess Vivi to arrive.
Soon after, the Orange Windmill gracefully descended from the air and docked on the small lake within the palace.
Weiwei led her companions to jump off the boat, and with Ikalem's warm welcome, they walked towards the palace together.
Although the buildings that were destroyed by Huangmu had long been repaired, Ikalem still moved them to another palace to rest.
After enjoying the delicious food carefully prepared by Tilagotan, Vivi said goodbye to her friends and went to her father's palace alone to discuss with him what Empress Hancock had said.
Cobra, who learned that his daughter Vivi had returned, had already stood up and stood in front of the window of the palace, looking at Vivi's figure with gentle eyes.
"Father, I have discussed this with Eru. From now on, I will stay in Alabasta to accompany you."
Vivi's voice was tinged with joy as she told King Cobra about El's decision to leave the World Government and that in order to protect the country from being implicated, she would announce her departure from the pirate group.
Then, she took out the Sen Sen Fruit, her voice full of longing for the future, "This is the Sen Sen Fruit he gave me. I plan to use it on my future children with him."
Hearing his daughter's words, Cobra was filled with relief. He smiled and responded, "I will announce to the people at tomorrow's celebration that I will pass the throne to you."
Weiwei interrupted her father quickly, "Father, I am still young and cannot bear the responsibility of being the queen. Besides, I have already discussed with Al that our relationship will be kept secret for the time being."
Cobra smiled and shook his head, but he had more far-reaching considerations. "Although you have left the pirate group, this is far from enough. Our Nefertite royal family is one of the founding members of the World Government. Only if you become the king can you truly be free from the pursuit of the World Government."
Weiwei was speechless for a moment. Her father's words made her realize the severity of reality.
Cobra continued, "My health is getting worse day by day, and it's time for me to have a good rest. Once you become the queen of Alabasta, your companions will be able to help Alabasta more conveniently."
After Cobra's constant persuasion, she finally agreed reluctantly, but at the same time she also made her own request: "Father, I know a doctor with excellent medical skills. He is not far from our country. I hope you can promise me to accept his treatment."
After hearing his daughter's arrangement, Cobra readily agreed. This was not only for his own health, but also to give his daughter a reason to feel at ease.
At the same time, Al successfully arrived at the research floor of Egghead Island.
Vegapunk's number one clone, Shakya, noticed his arrival and came over personally to lead them into the laboratory.
"Al, just go straight along this road and you will find the main body." Shakya briefly pointed out the direction, then turned to Kerla and said, "Miss Kerla, I will take you to the warehouse. There are many things there that need your help to move to the moon. S-Bear is a little busy now, and if we move them during the day, it may attract the attention of the World Government."
After getting Al's confirmation, Kerla followed Shakya towards the warehouse.
And Al went to the laboratory where Vegapunk was alone.
Although the laboratory was filled with doors that were difficult to distinguish between real and fake by the naked eye in order to confuse outsiders, with the ability of El's Voice of All Things, he quickly found Vegapunk who was processing data with Pythagoras.
When Vegapunk saw Al coming, he did not stop his work. He just raised his head slightly and said to Al, "Now that you are here, we can leave in a few days. I have asked Edison to make a poison gas bomb similar to Caesar. When the time comes, the poison gas will cover Eggman Island, so that the World Government will not be able to investigate here in the short term."
Hearing this, Al asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I asked you to come here just to be on the safe side. If you really need to take action, the situation would be very bad." Vegapunk replied, his tone revealing his caution about the current situation.
"Then I'd better stay here quietly and rest. I hope I don't have to do anything." Al smiled to ease the atmosphere.
Looking at Vegapunk and Pythagoras working attentively, Al felt that he was a bit redundant here, so he said something to the doctor and left the laboratory, preparing to go to the warehouse to see what was going on over at Kerla.
Chapter 160: Human Cloning Project
When he passed by a room full of high-tech atmosphere, his eyes were instantly attracted by a large transparent nutrient tank in the center of the room.
Through the warehouse wall, you can see the fishman Jinbe Seraph floating inside, and the nutrient solution flowing around him isolates him from the outside world.
This scene suddenly reminded him of Trafalgar Law. As long as Rock was cloned and the effect of green blood was added, perhaps he could perform immortality surgery on a large scale.
With this sudden inspiration, he couldn't wait to return to the laboratory and had an in-depth discussion with Vegapunk about green blood, clones and the Operation Fruit.
"Doctor, I want to ask, have you ever studied the surgery fruit's immortality surgery?"
After hearing this, Vegapunk pondered for a moment and said, "The World Government wanted to spend 50 billion berries to buy the fruit before, but it seems that it was unsuccessful and was eaten by Trafalgar Law. However, according to my research, if you want to perform the immortality surgery, you may need to reach the level of fruit awakening."
El asked: "Can the green blood of the Seraph be enough to awaken the Operation Fruit?"
Vegapunk shook his head and said regretfully: "As for the field of fruit awakening, just like artificial natural fruits, I have not found a breakthrough in research so far."
After hearing this, although Al felt a little regretful, he did not give up. Instead, he began to think about another possibility, which was to replicate the artificial surgery fruit through the system.
But before that, we need to find out whether the clone can inherit the original's devil fruit qualifications.
"If a person has the potential to awaken the power of a devil fruit, then can the person copied through cloning technology also reach the same level of awakening?" El asked again.
Vegapunk stopped what he was doing and became serious. "In theory, clones should have the same qualifications as the original. However, the ability of the awakening fruit sometimes does not rely solely on personal qualifications, just like the legendary Sun God Nika form. In the past eight hundred years, only Joy Boy has awakened it."
After getting Vegapunk's confirmation, El finally felt relieved. After all, the immortality surgery of the Operation Fruit depends purely on personal qualifications. As long as one can reach the level of Trafalgar Law, it will be enough.
"Doctor, I would like you to help me clone a human. What materials do I need? I don't need to have a special bloodline like the Seraph. I just need to have the same qualifications as the original and be able to obey orders absolutely."
Vegapunk did not respond immediately, but fell into his own thoughts. "Yeah," he muttered to himself, "I can also use clones to fake my own death, so that I can avoid the pursuit of the World Government."
Then, Vegapunk turned to Pythagoras and said, "I'm going to check on the clones first. This plan may need to be modified."
Watching Vegapunk excitedly walking outside the laboratory, Al followed closely behind him and continued to ask the same question.
"If you can provide the other party's bloodline genes, I can create the clones you need." Vegapunk explained, "But this is a very expensive and time-consuming task."
"Funding is not a problem at all, Doctor. As for time, I am willing to wait." Al answered without hesitation.
After confirming the feasibility of the cloning plan, Al picked up the phone and hesitated for a moment, because he was not sure who else would be online at this time, and finally chose to leave a message in the chat room.
『El』: [Kerla and I have arrived at Egghead Island. We may need to stay here for a few days. If anyone has time to see this message, please use Den Den Mushi to contact Trafalgar Law and ask him where he is now. I have something important to tell him. ]
After sending the message, Al followed Vegapunk's footsteps and came to a remote laboratory.
The light here shines softly on a special container, inside which sleeps a young version of Vegapunk with a huge head.
Looking at his past self, Vegapunk scratched his head, "It seems that I need to make some changes to him and adjust him to my current appearance."
Afterwards, Vegapunk called Edison and Pythagoras through the headset, and the three of them went to the operating room together, preparing to make appearance adjustments to the clone based on the original's current appearance.
At this moment, Al's cell phone made a slight prompt sound. When he opened it, he saw that it was Perona who replied to the message. She was now preparing to go to the Orange Windmill and use Den Den Mushi to contact Trafalgar Law.
Originally, he had Trafalgar Law's life paper in his hand, but he put it in the room. He only carried the life papers of his companions and Hancock with him.
Perona's actions were discovered by Nami, who had the strongest Observation Haki. She watched curiously as Perona flew towards the Orange Windmill with an umbrella.
Shortly after Perona found Law's Den Den Mushi and initiated a communication request, Trafalgar Law's voice came from the other side.
However, when he saw that the Den Den Mushi displayed was not Al's head, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "I'm Luo, what can I do for you?"
"Hello, Luo, I'm Perona from El's ship. Our captain is planning to look for you and would like to ask where you are now?" Perona explained politely.
"Are you looking for me, Master Al? I am on Zou Island now. This is a special island that cannot be reached by navigation compasses. If you want to come here, you will need to use my life paper as a guide." Luo said.
Since leaving Dressrosa, Law has come to Zou Island to meet them with the guidance of Bepo's Life Paper.
Here, Bepo follows Pedro, who has a close relationship with his brother Jepo, to train in the true form of the Minks, the Moon Lion.
When Luo reinstalled the cheetah's eyes for Pedro in gratitude for his advice, he received guidance from the shopkeeper of the Night King Cat-belly Snake.
After learning that Cat-belly Snake was once a member of the Pirate King Roger's ship, Law stayed there and practiced hard.
After confirming with Trafalgar Law that he would stay on Zou Island in the near future, Perona picked up her phone and began to reply to messages from El.
『Perona』: [Captain, I have asked Trafalgar Law, and he said that he will stay on Zou Island recently. ]
Nami also noticed the message and looked through the chat room before realizing that Perona had received instructions from El.
Upon hearing that Luo was on Zou Island, Al couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. The Elephant Lord was wandering around casually on the sea. Even relying on the system's tasks, Al was not sure of finding the Elephant Lord within three chances.
If he fails, he will not be able to start the same search mission again for a short time.
After some thought, El decided to ask Perona to go to his room to find Law's life paper to see if he could provide remote assistance through the life paper.
Chapter 161 Bloodline Factor Obtained
『El』: [Perona, please go to my room. In the second drawer on the left side of the desk, there is a box with a life paper with Luo's name on it. Take it to the measurement room and try to see if you can help me find the direction. ]
After seeing El's message, Perona followed his instructions and began to look for Law's life paper in the captain's room.
