Chapter 234: Pacifista?

Through Vegapunk's introduction, Saint Saint Saiwen gained a deeper understanding of the Pacifista Project.

The Pacifistas were proposed by Saint Saturn and approved by a vote of the Five Elders; this was also the main reason the World Government invited Vegapunk.

Due to the Barbanian bloodline, the initial target for the Pacifistas was Kuma.

After being refused by Saint Saint Saiwen multiple times, and just as Akainu was turned into a vegetable by Saint Saint Saiwen, Saint Saturn shifted his target to Akainu.

However, because of the green beans that Kizaru begged from Saint Saint Saiwen... Akainu woke up... changing the target once again.

"The current target is Shiki..." Vegapunk spoke words that shocked everyone.

"Nani?!" Saint Saint Saiwen's pupils widened in shock.

Shiki becoming a Pacifista? How is that possible? Senior Shi Ji hasn't been causing trouble much lately.

Especially after becoming the Eternal Lion, he is preparing to go to the Four Seas with Buggy and Foxy to recruit people!

"That is how it is," Vegapunk explained.

"Two and a half years ago, Shiki broke his own legs to escape Impel Down; the broken legs were specifically collected by the World Government."

"Over these years, the World Government has collected and preserved the bodies of many strong individuals; Shiki's legs are just a part of it."

Seeing Saint Saint Saiwen raise an eyebrow,

Vegapunk spoke quickly: "Rest assured, the World Government has not found Luo Jie's body; Vice Admiral Garp is unwilling to mention this matter too much."

Hearing this, Saint Saint Saiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Although transforming Captain Luo Jie's body... that idea is quite interesting, but it is somewhat disrespectful to Captain Luo Jie.

If the Captain's body wasn't found, what about Rocks' body during God Valley?

Is it in the World Government's hands?

"I extracted the Lineage Factors from these bodies... and combined them into the Pacifistas' bodies."

Saint Saint Saiwen blinked his eyes and suddenly felt a strong urge to slice Vegapunk.

"Doctor... be a human, don't you know what kind of monster you will create?"

Shiki's Lineage Factor is very likely to carry the ability of the Pika Pika no Mi, while Rocks' Lineage Factor is the Davi clan bloodline.

There are also some strong individuals Saint Saint Saiwen does not know about.

Combining so many Lineage Factors will create either a monster or an idiot.

Vegapunk lowered his voice.

"Rest assured, the final command authority is in my hands."

"Are you sure?" Saint Saint Saiwen expressed doubt.

Even if Saint Saturn is incompetent, he is a Scientific Defense Martial God who has lived for hundreds of years, capable of discussing technology with Vegapunk, and most importantly, he understands technology.

If Vegapunk wants to fool him, it will be hard to pass Saint Saturn's inspection.

"Rest assured," Vegapunk said no more.

If Dragon hadn't repeatedly emphasized that Saint Saint Saint Saiwen is an ally to be trusted, Vegapunk would never have revealed so much intelligence.

"These are just one of many plans."

"Saint Saturn also plans to get some powerful prisoners from the sixth level of Impel Down to send over for modification."

"However, the technology is not yet mature, so the test subjects sent over are relatively ordinary."

"Once the technology matures."

"Barolick Redfield, known as the 'Red Count of Solitude', may eventually be sent over for modification."

Saint Saint Saiwen believed these were indeed things the World Government could do, but why?

Why not do it before, but only now?

Logically, that shouldn't be the case.

Imu has already signed the Shallow Sea Contract with Saint Saint Saiwen, the Five Elders are simultaneously coercing Harald, and the Warlord of the Sea system has been launched.

The Rubber Fruit has not appeared yet; the World Government's ruling prospects can be said to be excellent.

There must be something fishy about this!

"Are these all tasks issued recently?"

"Yes," Vegapunk nodded: "All tasks were personally issued by Saint Saturn. I have a feeling: Saint Saturn is very anxious lately."

"Saint Saturn is anxious?" Saint Saint Saiwen pondered thoughtfully.

It couldn't be that Saint Saturn fears Saint Saint Saiwen will replace the Five Elders, so he is frantically issuing orders to try to prove to Imu that he is irreplaceable... right?

Holy shit!

Saint Saint Saiwen realized: the root of all these changes is actually because he signed the Shallow Sea Contract with Imu, causing Saint Saturn to feel a sense of urgency.

Since Saint Saturn has already done this, how will the other four of the Five Elders make their moves?

Damn it, this is really dogshit.

The wings he flapped have finally caused huge impacts and changes to this sea.

How can this be allowed?

It seems I must go to the Holy Land; whether intentionally or unintentionally, I must make the Five Elders understand: I, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, have no interest in becoming one of the Five Elders.

"These are Artificial Devil Fruits," Vegapunk was still explaining.

Saint Saint Saiwen spoke softly: "Get me a copy of the Artificial Devil Fruit technology; I will study it slowly when I return."

"No problem," Vegapunk thought Saint Saint Saiwen was finally tempted, deciding to embark on the path of technological ascension.

"Up to now, the combination of Lineage Factors extracted from numerous bodies has been relatively smooth; we just need to find a suitable container to fuse them."

"Once the fusion is successful, we can mass-produce Pacifistas."

Vegapunk revealed all the secrets.

"That's good," Saint Saint Saiwen commented.

In the anime, the Pacifista Kuma's ultimate command was overridden by Bonney's request; precisely for this reason, Saint Saint Saiwen chose to believe that Vegapunk held the command authority.

Even if he couldn't grasp it, it didn't matter.

A Super Electromagnetic Storm would sweep through, causing Saint Saint Saiwen to make all the Pacifistas crash.

Before a true powerhouse, Pacifistas and ants were hardly any different.

"Do you want this? You can only study it in secret." Vegapunk successfully turned the tide.

"May I take it?"

"You are a Celestial Dragon; you can."

Saint Saint Saiwen and Vegapunk exchanged a smile, the meaning of which was understood without words.

For Saint Saint Saiwen, he had given nothing yet gained several key technologies beneficial to the Morning Star Group and Inazuma's development.

If it's free, don't refuse it.

The World Government builds Pacifistas; Saint Saint Saiwen will secretly research building Rebelistas.

Who is stronger and who is weaker will be decided when the final battle comes.

For Vegapunk, although the technology was his, the results belonged to the World Government; using the World Government's results to build a good relationship with Saint Saint Saint Saiwen...

It was simply a total win, okay!

After the green beans are used up, asking for more later won't seem so presumptuous.

Moreover, in the future, he might even extract Saint Saint Saint Saiwen's genetic factors to personally forge a super cyborg of unprecedented magnitude.

Vegapunk personally copied the various technologies, handed them to Saint Saint Saiwen, and then deleted the copy records.

Thus, a situation was formed where Saint Saint Saiwen and Vegapunk both won, and only the World Government lost.

"Pleasant cooperation, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen."

"Pleasant cooperation, Doctor."

Watching Saint Saint Saiwen ride away on the Frost Dragon, Vegapunk had just turned around when he suddenly saw Kizaru with a strangely inexplicable smile on his face.

"Doctor, what a brilliant idea!"

Vegapunk's smile stiffened: "Borsalino, Saint Saint Saint Saiwen insisted; what could I do?"

"He asked, so you gave?"

Kizaru's expression was playful, preparing to tease this friend who often occupied the high ground of intelligence.

Vegapunk was like a dead pig unafraid of scalding water.

"I had no choice; he is a Celestial Dragon."
