Chapter 1786
The blue spiritual fire burned. Su Xiao put down the reagent bottle in his hand, and a large number of bubbles emerged in the light green solution inside.
It wasn't simple to prepare 【Stigmata Medicine】 in the Pirate World. It was different from the Reincarnation Paradise here, where materials exchanged with Paradise Coins could be used directly.
More than 80% of the materials required for 【Stigmata Medicine】 didn't exist in the Pirate World at all, which required Su Xiao to formulate similar materials to replace them. After the Revolutionary Army sent these materials, he still needed to carry out two or three treatments before they could be used for preparing 【Stigmata Medicine】.
Consuming a full two hours, Su Xiao completed the processing of the materials. As for preparing the medicine, that wasn't a problem. He was most skilled at manufacturing 【Stigmata Medicine】; this thing had the strongest effect among low-tier medicines.
Taking off the rubber gloves on his hands, Su Xiao picked up a large row of test tubes and began to work on medicine manufacturing. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was holding a mobile phone and lying on the side, playing happily. It only needed to provide the Ice Goddess Halo.
The Mana consumed to manufacture 【Stigmata Medicine】 wasn't too much, about 300 points per bottle. If the Mana Su Xiao recovered through meditation and the halo provided by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang were counted, 25 bottles of 【Stigmata Medicine】 could be manufactured every 4 hours.
With Su Xiao's physique, manufacturing without sleep or rest for two days could manufacture about 300 bottles of Stigmata Medicine.
Su Xiao had no interest in finding the Revolutionary Army's high-level officials to negotiate and ask for manual fees for manufacturing 【Stigmata Medicine】. That would waste a lot of time. Compared to the proficiency of the medicine harmonization chapter, those manual fees could be completely ignored.
Blue light emerged in Su Xiao's hand, merging into the semi-finished 【Stigmata Medicine】. The red liquid in the test tube rose with fine blue light particles, and the color of the medicine gradually changed from red to golden, finally turning into a light golden medicine liquid. A bottle of 【Stigmata Medicine】 was thus completed.
Time passed quickly in medicine preparation. When Su Xiao felt fatigue, six rows of test tubes were already placed on the metal table in front of him. Su Xiao had no interest in packaging the 【Stigmata Medicine】, only storing the finished 【Stigmata Medicine】 in glass test tubes.
……
New World, on an island not listed on the sea chart.
The rocks and ground of this island were all pure white. No civilians lived on the island, only a gray-white fortress. This was the Revolutionary Army headquarters.
"Ha! Ha! Ha..."
The immature low shouts came from the open space in front of the fortress. A group of children wearing loose clothing and full of hot sweat were practicing Fishman Karate. They stood in several neat rows, their expressions solemn. Some children had persistence in their eyes, while others had hatred that couldn't be concealed—the hatred of their homes being destroyed.
A fishman wearing a white training suit and yellowish skin stood beside the queue. He crossed his arms and was examining these children. His name was Hack, a warrior of the Revolutionary Army, responsible for cultivating the fresh blood of the Revolutionary Army's future. Although he didn't have a nominal official position, Hack's status in the Revolutionary Army wasn't low, and many Revolutionary Army cadres were cultivated by him.
"Every punch must use full strength. After punching, you must never retract your strength. That will cause the whole body's muscles to relax for a moment. This is a flaw, the taste of failure. Use full strength."
"Yes!"
After the neat response, these children under ten years old continued to temper their bodies under the scorching sun.
"Hack."
A somewhat deep voice came. Hack immediately put down his crossed arms.
"Leader, you're here."
"Hmm, how are the three of them?"
The speaker was a man with red tattoos on his face, wearing a deep green coat, and with wild black hair. His first impression was calmness mixed with ferocity. This was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Monkey D. Dragon, called the most vicious criminal in the world by the World Government, essentially different from pirates.
Pirates only burned, killed, and looted on the sea, posing a great threat to civilians, but not much threat to the World Government. Dragon was different. The Revolutionary Army was actually an insurgent army, with the goal of overthrowing the World Government's rule. The World Government naturally hated him more.
Dragon's gaze looked at three children in the queue, two boys and one girl.
"They are performing very well. After taking that medicine called Stigmata, they became the three most outstanding performers in this batch. Whether in terms of strength, speed, or resistance to blows, they have all had significant improvements in a short time. This will create a virtuous cycle, allowing them to accept more arduous training than those of the same age. Taking five years as an example, their growth speed will only get faster and faster, finally far leaving behind those in the same batch."
Hack looked at the three children, the appreciation in his eyes undisguised. Everyone would like talented juniors more.
"This is indeed good news."
Dragon wasn't too surprised by the changes in those three children. What surprised him was Hack's attitude. When he learned about the Stigmata medicine, Hack firmly opposed letting his trainees use it. At that time, Hack's words were that only the strength obtained through hard training was the strength that belonged to oneself.
Right now, Hack's attitude had changed greatly. The word 'true fragrance' was almost written on his face.
"Koala reported to me that a large batch of Stigmata will be sent over in the near future."
Dragon was also followed by a doctor who wore bottle-bottom glasses and had a spherical physique. He was here to examine the three children to avoid any subsequent side effects of the Stigmata medicine.
"How much longer until it's sent?"
Hack was somewhat eager, which made Dragon couldn't help but look at him. Seemingly noticing Dragon's gaze, Hack coughed lightly.
"Before, I thought Stigmata was a strong medicine, a strong medicine to enhance the human body. But after observation, I found that Stigmata doesn't seem to be purely stimulating strength. It changed something more fundamental, just like..."
Hack, as a new coach, scratched his head. His vocabulary didn't allow him to express what he wanted to express.
"Actually, Stigmata can be understood as a kind of activation of talent. It seems to have opened up certain things in the human body, that's it."
Hack nodded, clearly no longer rejecting the Stigmata medicine. After all, he had seen the performance of those three children.
"Is that so?"
Dragon's expression didn't have much change. Although he knew Stigmata was a good thing and had strategic significance for the Revolutionary Army, even exceeding powerful weapons, the person providing Stigmata was always a problem.
Dragon had sent people to investigate Su Xiao very early on. The other party was strictly protected when cooperating with the World Government. Just obtaining the other party's intelligence cost the Revolutionary Army many sacrifices. Su Xiao's intelligence level was the same as Dr. Vegapunk's. When he learned this news, Dragon's first thought was to eliminate Su Xiao.
One Vegapunk was enough for the Revolutionary Army to suffer, and now a second one had appeared. The Revolutionary Army would definitely suffer. Moreover, Su Xiao was good at manufacturing high-power lethal weapons, while Vegapunk was good at biology. In terms of mechanical materials, Su Xiao was several times more dangerous than Vegapunk in both sides' wars.
What surprised Dragon was that Su Xiao actually rebelled against the World Government not long after, which made Dragon let out a sigh of relief. But good times didn't last long, and Su Xiao appeared in the New World again, cooperating with Doflamingo. It was this time that made Dragon determine how much influence Su Xiao had on the war.
A Donquixote family actually fought the Big Mom Pirates to a standstill without the aid of the Beast Pirates. Although the Donquixote family was beaten into shrinking on Dressrosa, Big Mom's people simply couldn't land on the island. Katakuri led people to attack the island several times, but were all blown back by high-power lethal weapons, suffering heavy casualties.
In the end, both sides actually ended the war in the form of negotiations. And everyone thought the Beast Pirates, who were the main force of the war, just played a supporting role at the beginning, and had nothing to do with the war afterward.
Upon learning this news, Dragon gathered several confidants for a meeting to discuss whether to go to Dressrosa to snatch people. However, the Navy was faster, directly sending Garp, Kizaru, and Tsuru to Dressrosa to make arrests.
Dragon's train of thought ended here. Right now, Su Xiao was already a member of the Revolutionary Army. This could be called a pie falling from the sky for the Revolutionary Army. As for whether this pie was poisonous, that was unknown.
But even if the pie was poisonous, the Revolutionary Army couldn't bear to give it up. Just a Stigmata medicine alone was enough to make the Revolutionary Army appear with a large batch of new forces, which might become the backbone to overthrow the World Government in the future.
