Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

The first half of the Grand Line.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, Wafulud Island floats quietly surrounded by a large amount of sea water. A light yellow light beam radiates from the center of the island, reaching straight into the sky.

Marigold and Sephiroth stood side by side at the door of Yangtian Tower. Looking at the dazzling purple light on the heavy door, Marigold said in slight surprise:

“Is this Wavroud…?

Why would you place this island hundreds of kilometers away from the Kingdom of God? ”

“No way! The stakes are too high.

After all, there is an ancient weapon called the Breath of the Gods hidden on this island. It is a powerful weapon that can control the celestial phenomena to attack. It is easy to kill a city and destroy a country, so the world government has always been eager to get it.

To be on the safe side, I can only isolate it from the outside world…” Sephiroth said with emotion.

Due to the influence of the Umbrella Company, the Navy has also conducted relevant research on large-caliber ultra-long-distance weapons such as anti-aircraft guns in recent years, in an attempt to master such weapons that can strike targets beyond visual range from a distance of 10 to 20 kilometers. .

With top scientists like Vegapunk around, Sephiroth felt that it would not be a problem for the Navy to master anti-aircraft guns or even introduce new ones…

After the Umbrella Company analyzed lunar technology, it was able to master rocket launchers that can accurately strike targets from a distance of 70 kilometers. I guarantee that Vegapunk will also be able to come into contact with related ancient technologies and apply them as the research deepens. .

The advancement of science and technology, while bringing benefits and conveniences, also brings disadvantages and threats.

In the past, the World Government had no choice but to monitor the Vallode Island floating on the sea because it did not have ultra-long-range weapons.

but……

I believe that it won’t be long before the navy’s warships will be equipped with anti-aircraft guns, giving the fleet a super long-range strike capability.

With the virtue of the World Government, they would probably think that since they can’t get the breath of the gods, an ancient weapon hidden on the Valverde Island, they might as well just destroy it so that no one can get it…

At that time, there is no guarantee that the Navy will directly receive the request from the World Government and launch a demon-slaying order against Valverde. It will conduct indiscriminate bombing on the island from a distance of 20 kilometers and destroy everything on the island. !

Click -!

The heavy door of Yangtian Tower slowly opened, revealing a strange alien space in front of their eyes.

Gray cube soul crystals filled every space, forming walls and corridors, and some were floating quietly in mid-air.

“What is this?

Through seeing and hearing Se Haki, I felt a special energy on it…

So much so that this thing makes me feel like… it’s like…”

Before Marigold could find the right words, Sephiroth had already spoken out:

“It’s like the crystallization of people’s thoughts, right?”

“Well, that’s right!”

“This thing is called soul crystal. In the Yangtian Tower, it can construct any mimic creature by absorbing some special energy floating in the air and people’s thoughts…”

Hearing this, a confused expression appeared on Marigold’s face, and she said with some confusion:

“Mimetic creature…what is that?”

“Hmm! It would be troublesome to explain in detail…

I’d better show it to you directly! ”

As he spoke, Sephiroth raised his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers.

Snapped-!

As the voice fell, a palm-sized cube of gray soul crystal automatically flew out of the Yangtian Tower and floated in front of the two of them.

Waves of blue energy appeared from the void and poured into the soul crystal in front of the two people.

next moment.

A beautiful woman with the same body and appearance as Marigold appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air, and her body was surrounded by blue thunder and lightning that kept dancing.

Out of curiosity, Marigold stretched out her right hand and lightly touched the body of the woman in front of her.

Then, she was surprised to find that her right hand actually passed through the opponent’s body, and his body was completely made of thunder and lightning. This was the… elemental state of the Thunder Fruit! ?

“Can this soul crystal even reproduce the elements of the natural system?”

“Yes! The soul crystal constructed the image of you in my impression by absorbing my thoughts.

Whether it’s the figure, appearance, or devil fruit abilities, everything is perfectly reproduced.

Of course, in terms of actual combat power, it is limited by the energy supply of Yangtian Tower, so it cannot compare with you…”

“This is already very powerful! Through seeing, hearing, and being domineering,

I can clearly feel how powerful the mimic creature in front of me is, at least 60 to 70% of my level…”

Marigold first sighed sincerely, and then she said with a surprised look on her face:

“Eh!? Wait! Doesn’t this mean that you can mass-produce powerful mimic creatures through the Yangtian Tower?”

“It is indeed possible! However, this can only be done in the Yangtian Tower.

Once the soul crystal leaves Yangtian Tower, its performance will be greatly weakened, and the farther away it is, the worse the effect will be.

When the distance is extended to a certain extent, the performance of the soul crystal will even weaken to the point where it can no longer absorb special energy.

After the internal energy is completely exhausted, it will stop functioning. ”

Marigrud suddenly nodded and said with a hint of regret:

“That’s it! That’s such a pity…

But what exactly is the special energy you are talking about? ”

“gas.”

“Angry…? What anger?”

“Well! If I have to make a metaphor, it is very close to the concept of qi in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

We live in this qi, inhaling and breathing this qi all the time, and absorbing it instinctively.

Some people have a high affinity for qi, so they absorb more, and their bodies are stronger. This is the case for those who are born with strange powers, or even those who are born with armed and domineering qi.

Some people have low affinity, absorb little Qi, and have ordinary physiques. This is basically the case for most people in this world.

However, the body’s absorption of this qi can be improved, and the simplest way is to exercise…

Soul Crystals and Devil Fruits both use this energy to produce all kinds of incredible powers.

In other words, Devil Fruit is actually another form of soul crystal. Their basic principles are actually the same. The initial outline is formed by thoughts, and various abilities are derived by using Qi…”

Sephiroth stared at the soul crystals in the alien space, his eyes gradually becoming fanatical and obsessed.

After years of research, he finally came into contact with the essence of Devil Fruit.

He was very surprised to find that Devil Fruits and Soul Crystals, two completely different things, used the same core technology…! ?

Their various strange features are all exerted by some special energy in the air!

This couldn’t help but make Sephiroth feel that he was touching the true realm of God.

If he can completely master the technical principles, then he will become a real… god!

Marigold put her chin on her hands and said with a puzzled look on her face:

“You said you wanted to bring me to Walfrod to see something, is it the soul crystal?”

Yesterday, Sephiroth suddenly contacted her using a phone bug and asked her to come to Sky Island when she had time, saying he wanted her to see something very powerful.

So, after Marigorud rearranged the work at hand, he took Hancock and Sandasonia to the sky island in the Star Ark the next day.

Unexpectedly, Sephiroth brought her to Valverod to see this thing called Soul Crystal.

Marigold admitted that the Soul Crystal was indeed very powerful, but why did he bring her to see this?

“I’ll show you that the soul crystal is just incidental…

What I really want to show you is the Breath of the Gods, and I want to transfer control of it to you.

Due to the transfer of the breath authority of the gods, the control of the Yangtian Tower will also change hands. “Sephiroth explained.

Hearing this, Marigold couldn’t help being slightly stunned. She subconsciously refused:

“Hey!? Why…?

I heard you just say that it is easy for the gods to exterminate cities and annihilate countries with their breath. It should be more suitable to have this kind of weapon in your hands, right?

My usual battles are just hunting pirates on the sea, and I don’t need such a big killer at all…”

“The Breath of the Gods needs to be in the cockpit, wearing a sensor helmet, and communicating through brain waves to accurately convey instructions, so this thing seems too useless in my hands.

With your thunder fruit ability, you should be able to achieve link communication without wearing a helmet, right?

Therefore, I thought of leaving the breath of the gods to you to control so that it can exert its greatest power…”

While explaining, Sephiroth took Marigold to the top of the Yangtian Tower, and by playing “Light of Redemption”, he opened the door to the top of the tower and went through the steps of the permission transfer process of Breath of the Gods.

After the two of them walked up the stone stairs, they saw the Breath of the Gods floating quietly above the altar. It was made of metal and had a huge body like a sea king. It looked like a red goldfish and had a huge one eye.

“this thing

…has a will of its own? ”

Marigold just used her sense of dominance to sense the ancient weapons in front of her, and she discovered the clues very keenly.

“That’s right! Like the lunar robot, it is highly intelligent, and its program seems to be very independent.

I tried for a long time, but could not crack its smart program and modify it.

Those who made the breath of the gods should have once again undergone a high degree of development and evolution based on lunar technology…”

As Sephiroth said this, he walked to the Breath of the Gods, opened the door to the cockpit, and walked in with Marigold.

Snap-! Snap-! …

After Sephiroth put the metal helmet used to communicate the breath of the gods on his head, his hands quickly tapped on the control panel and began to change the controller’s authority.

Soon, the preparations were completed, and he put the helmet on Marigold’s head.

Under Sephiroth’s prompting and guidance, Marigorud quickly gained control of the breath of the gods.

“Yeah! It is indeed communication through brain waves…

However, this guy’s sense of autonomy seems to be a little too strong. ”

Marigold took off her helmet, closed her eyes and felt it carefully before she spoke:

“As a tool, absolute obedience to orders is what it should do most…”

While speaking, Marigold raised her right hand and pressed it on the console.

Immediately afterwards, tiny blue arcs burst out from her palms and quickly penetrated into the core components of the breath of the gods.

next moment.

Roar-!

The breath of the gods floating above the altar seemed to express its anger towards Marigrud. It suddenly let out a high-pitched sonic cry and began to twist its huge body in the air.

Rumble-!

Waves of dark thunderclouds quickly gathered towards the Breath of the Gods. Marigold’s attempt to tamper with its independent will touched its reverse scale.

It immediately wanted to trigger thunder and bombard its interior, but under the interference of Marigold’s electrical signal, it was unable to trigger thunder inside or eject the cockpit inside its body. .

“Hey! I feel like it’s going crazy!

What are you doing? ”

Sensing the changes in the outside world and the strange breath of the gods, Sephiroth immediately turned his head and looked at Marigold beside him.

“I’m trying to bypass the protective mechanisms of Breath of the Gods and tamper with its core instructions.

For you, it may be a very difficult problem to crack the program through normal means, but it is different for me. I can directly issue instructions to its internal hardware by controlling electrical signals…

After all, the self-awareness of the breath of the gods is, in the final analysis, just a software program mounted on hardware! ”

Marigold said calmly, but the movements of her hands did not stop at all.

Soon, the violent breath of the gods calmed down, the dark thunderclouds in the sky dispersed, and its program was also loaded with a supreme command of absolute obedience.

“It seems that you have studied all the knowledge I asked you to learn!” Sephiroth said with some relief.

“Humph! Of course!”

Hearing this, Marigold immediately raised her pointed chin slightly, revealing her snow-white and slender neck. She smiled and showed an expression of “Come and praise me”.

“Yeah! Marigold is indeed the best!”

Sephiroth smiled and kissed her sexy red lips.

After gaining control of the breath of the gods, Marigorud immediately began to carefully study the performance of this ancient weapon…

After a while, she turned to look at the young man beside her and said in a deep voice:

“Sephiroth, with our current strength, coupled with the power of this ancient weapon, the breath of the gods, we should be able to completely defeat the Beast Pirates now…

When are you going to take action? ”

Hearing this, Sephiroth shook his head. He reached out and gently stroked the woman’s smooth orange-red hair, and murmured:

“Now…is not the time yet.

There are some difficulties with the World Government, we need to wait for a suitable time…”

The current Beasts Pirates, due to the annexation of the Don Quixote family and Beehive Island, have at least doubled their power and combat power compared to the original plot, becoming one of the Yonko Pirates. Among them, the most powerful one

Pirates.

but……

Sephiroth is still 70% sure that he can annihilate the Beast Pirates!

After all, in addition to the various powerful weapons of the Umbrella Company, he actually also has a lot of high-end combat power!

Hancock, Yamato, Hiyori Kozuki, Marigold, Sandasonia… Hey! ?

Why is it that in my power, the people with high-end combat power are all my girls? … Sephiroth thought with some shame.

However, when he thought about it, most of his girls were quite talented, and they had received his best resources and training.

With the background of those girls, plus other girls who have not yet grown up, it is estimated that in a few years, they will be able to form a strong emperor group themselves!

but……

Even so, Sephiroth did not want to rashly start a war with the Beast Pirates.

Once this war starts, the power that Sephiroth has hidden for many years will be completely exposed to the world!

The Umbrella Company only exposed part of its financial resources, but was targeted and feared by Wulaoxing everywhere. If it exposes such a powerful force again…

With the virtue of the World Government, it is estimated that the Umbrella Company will be eliminated directly at all costs, a huge factor of instability.

At that time, the Umbrella Corporation will launch an all-out war with the world government!

With the various trump cards that Sephiroth currently holds, the Umbrella Company is already in an invincible position.

but……

Being undefeated does not mean that you will definitely win!

Sephiroth’s plan is for the entire One Piece planet, not simply to segregate a corner of the land and dominate it…

After all, he had already accomplished this kind of thing long before he occupied Sky Island and became the God of Sky Island!

With the resources and power that Sephiroth currently possesses, except for those high-ranking Dracos, there is basically no king in the world who can match him.

The main reason why Sephiroth has been secretly accumulating strength is because he does not know how deep the World Government is…

After all, when he died in his previous life, One Piece had not yet been completed, and only the chapter on Egg Head Island had been serialized, so he did not know how many trump cards the World Government had.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!

The reason why Sephiroth has been able to go smoothly most of the time is because he has various information advantages, and combined with his analysis of the current situation, he can maximize the benefits he obtains.

Now, facing the unknown world government’s hidden trump card, all he can do is to continue to accumulate strength, hide behind the scenes, and completely disrupt the entire world!

When the world government is completely in a state of distress and its hidden cards are gradually revealed, Sephiroth will choose to enter the game and reap the benefits.

The Revolutionary Army, the Germa Kingdom, the Big Mom Pirates, the future Nika Luffy… all of these are his pawns to disrupt the world!

I am really starting to look more and more like the villain behind the scenes, the boss! ……… Sephiroth muttered secretly in his heart.
