Chapter 124 Fertilized Egg, Clones, and Pancakes
Ultimately, after a fierce bidding war, Olga successfully acquired the Paramecia-type Bonus Fruit for a high price of 4 million Berries.
"I feel so cheated... If it hadn't been identified, I could have gotten it for 2 million Berries."
Olga listlessly nestled in Olvia's arms, her lovely cheeks rubbing against the softness of Olvia's chest.
Olvia smiled wryly and gently stroked her long hair.
"There's really nothing we can do about it. They didn't do anything wrong; we just couldn't take advantage of the situation."
Time began to pass quickly.
Of the remaining goods after the fruit, Olga had no interest in anything else.
On the contrary, Olvia bought several antiques that were of considerable archaeological research value.
As for money, there's nothing to worry about.
When Olvia conquered Fragrant Island, she was also allocated 6.3 million Berries.
She's currently worried about how to spend the 6.3 million.
Soon, the auction train arrived at a station and stopped.
Here, a group of passengers will check out, collect their goods, and get off the bus.
A new batch of passengers will also board the train.
Olga also took this opportunity to tell Moria to hurry up and get her money from the ship.
Moria's main body did not act, but instead created a shadow clone.
He used a clone to return to the port where the ship was moored.
Then, he and his clone switched positions, and Moria instantly arrived at the port area.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Sonny directing the pirates to unload chests of treasure from the ship, preparing to take them to the exchange shop on the island to exchange them for Berries.
After Moria told him about Olga, Sonny promptly took out five large boxes filled with Pele from the cabin.
One box contains 100 million Berries, for a total of 500 million Berries.
“This is my money. You can use it to pay Olga and the others' bills first. After I exchange their treasure for Baileys, I will take it back from their share.”
Moria nodded slightly and hid the five large boxes in his shadow.
Next, he activated the skill "Shadow Warrior" again, swapping positions with the clone he had just switched onto the car.
In an instant, Moria returned, taking five money chests from his shadow.
"Wow! This ability of yours is really quite convenient!"
Olga was quite surprised to see Moria bring the money over so quickly.
She thought her Mythical Zoan was powerful enough, but Moria's Logia type was even more convenient.
After that, it's just a matter of paying, taking the goods, and leaving.
Before leaving, Olga repeatedly confirmed whether the Devil Fruit she had bought was counterfeit.
Only after confirming that everything was correct did I finally get out of the car completely.
………………
Happy times are always fleeting.
The Beast Pirates successfully relaxed their tired bodies and minds at Carnival City.
The Beasts Pirates' flag was officially raised at the highest point of the island.
After spending two days shopping with Bakkin and Makima, Kaido lost interest completely.
After that, he stayed on the MADS research ship, silently watching Vegapunk and his team conduct various research projects.
As an ordinary college student in his previous life, he couldn't fully understand Vegapunk and his team's actions, but he could roughly grasp what they were doing.
Standing in front of a huge culture tank, the small ball of flesh inside was already almost resembling a baby.
This is the result of Barkin's research.
No.
To be precise, it should be the result of a joint research effort between Baggin and Vegapunk.
Using her own egg as a base, combined with the genetic material from the white beard that she had secretly preserved, she successfully created a fertilized egg that could develop rapidly.
From a certain perspective, it's practically fair to say that this fertilized egg is the biological child of Whitebeard and Bakkin.
"It's growing so fast, could it turn into an adult in just a few days?"
Kaido questioned Vegapunk, who was also standing beside him observing the embryo.
Vegapunk replied, "It won't be that fast, but it's quite possible that he'll be a year old within a few days."
"After that, we need to prepare a special nutrient solution for this child to control his growth rate."
"Once he grows to about five or six years old, he will be able to become just like a normal person."
"Of course, this is the ideal situation."
"After all, this is my first time doing this kind of experiment, and I don't even know what unknown side effects there might be."
Kaido nodded slightly and then looked at another culture tank.
"And who was that prepared for?"
This culture vessel is currently empty, and no nutrient solution has been added.
However, Kaido knew that the container wasn't broken; it just hadn't been used yet.
"This..."
Vegapunk looked over in the direction Kaido was looking.
"This is our next research topic: human cloning!"
"The person who first raised this issue was Judge."
"He wants to revive the Germa Kingdom, and population is an obstacle he has to overcome."
"Even with normal reproduction, it may not be possible to produce a population of national scale in 100 years."
"So he thought of directly creating clones."
"Using cloning technology, we will first replicate the current living members of Germa to a certain number."
"Then, they bought female slaves on a large scale and made them have children."
"In theory, it should take at least 20 years and at most 30 years for the population of Germa to reach 10,000 people."
Of course, if it gets even more outrageous...
If clones and living people are used as mere juicers, then a scale of 100,000 people is not entirely impossible.
After all, if 100 men each get 10 women pregnant, that's 1000 newborns a year, and 1 newborns in 10 years.
If each of these 100 men were paired with a 100 female slave, and they devoted themselves to having children every year...
Even if we take the infant mortality rate into account, there will be 10 newborns in just over a decade.
Of course, how to care for these newborns after they are born, and how to ensure that they can live and grow up, is another issue altogether.
Kaido looked at Vegapunk.
"You seem to approve of Judge's plan?"
Vegapunk sighed softly, "Cloning, it should be the least harmful form of human experimentation, right?"
“That’s not what I meant. I was asking about the female slaves.”
Kaido asked seriously, "Are you also a supporter of slavery?"
Vegapunk looked at Kaido with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you say you wanted to make everyone in the world your slave?"
"Yes! That's why I mind that my slaves have the right to own slaves."
Kaido looked again at the unused culture tank.
"I am enough to be the only slave owner in this world."
"Any more, and it would be no different from the world we live in now."
Upon hearing this, Vegapunk replied, "That depends on the extent to which you are capable."
As a user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, Vegapunk could theoretically reach an unparalleled level if he were to study politics.
Even Kaido, being a time traveler, could never be his match.
But Vegapunk's ambitions lie elsewhere; he does not believe that the world's problems stem from political issues, class conflicts, or similar matters.
He believes that the reason the world is so turbulent is mainly due to insufficient resources.
If resources were so plentiful that they could never be used up, the so-called conflicts and pirate calamities of this world would most likely cease to exist.
Of course, on this basis, we can study some weapons and equipment and some special things, which are various attempts from different angles and fields.
Kaido did not continue the conversation with Vegapunk.
Now, aside from his superior strength, his only advantage over Vegapunk is his knowledge and experience from his previous life.
Therefore, in Kaido's view...
The current world order is actually quite similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods of his previous life.
Based on the original timeline's Nika and the Revolutionary Army combination, the finale will likely have two possible outcomes.
First: It only overthrew the rule of the Celestial Dragons and replaced the World Government with the Revolutionary Army, but the overall world order remained basically unchanged. At most, the Revolutionary Army would take action against those notorious nobles and royal families.
Second: a direct leap from feudal slavery to a socialist republican electoral system.
These are the two possible outcomes.
The former, in essence, remains unchanged; at most, it maintains its integrity and incorruptibility while Luffy's generation and their descendants are alive.
But after 100 years, it will probably quickly degenerate into the current world government.
Furthermore, since there are no Celestial Dragons overseeing them, the internal factional struggles will likely become extremely intense.
The latter, taking too big a step, is prone to making a mess of things.
Let's not even talk about anything complicated, there's just one question!
In the original timeline, how would you deal with kings like those in Alabasta and Dressrosa who were loved and respected by the local people?
If left unchecked, it would be tantamount to failing to thoroughly eliminate the aristocratic class, which would inevitably lead to its resurgence in the future.
Overthrowing them—would that still align with the revolutionary army's beliefs?
Therefore, Kaido chose neither path.
He chose the path that history has already proven.
Conquer the world by force!
By using physical means, the entire old aristocratic class was overthrown, and the idea that "nobles and high-ranking officials are born with special privileges" was firmly established in the minds of everyone in the world.
Afterwards, according to Kaido's own plan, he would rule and transform the world for one or two hundred years, and after completely unifying the thoughts and culture, he could then conquer the universe and travel in space.
As for the future development of the pirate planet, that's a matter for future generations, and has nothing to do with him anymore.
In any case, the imperial system should continue for at least another hundred years after he leaves, without any problem.
If it's overthrown a hundred years from now, then so be it.
A new empire will be re-established.
Then the cycle continues to progress until one day, the so-called utopian society is truly realized.
Of course, by then Kaido must have already run off to some unknown corner of the universe.
That's a digression, let's get back to the present.
After visiting Vegapunk's lab, Kaido then went to visit Cygnus's (Quinn's) lab.
"By the way, aren't you planning to change your name?"
Kaido looked at the still skinny Saine, dressed in an unconventional outfit.
Not only is his current image unfamiliar, but his name is also quite unfamiliar.
"Change my name? Why should I change my name?!"
Sain looked at Kaido with a completely bewildered expression.
Kaido, seemingly ignoring the question, replied, "I plan to establish a system of three major executives: King, Queen, and Jack, representing the three top officers of the pirate crew."
"I think the name Queen is very suitable for you, because your combat talent is higher than that of the other three scientists!"
Upon hearing this, Sain stared intently at Kaido.
next second.
"Mwahahaha..."
Sain laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
"You've got a good eye for people!"
"Alright, since you're so sincere in inviting me to become the main character, I'll reluctantly change my name to Quinn!"
"Uro ro ro..."
Kaido grinned.
"Just change your name. You're not quite qualified for the position of the head of the organization yet."
"What did you say?!"
Quinn, who had just been laughing triumphantly, suddenly glared at her.
"Are you trying to destroy me?!"
"The three pillars I want to benchmark against are the three admirals of the Navy!"
Kaido explained with a playful expression, "With your current abilities, are you qualified to fight a Marine Admiral one-on-one?"
Upon hearing this, Quinn, who had just changed his name, was instantly speechless.
Let alone him now, even Sonny now would be easily killed in a few moves by Zephyr, the newly promoted general.
However, Quinn's anger dissipated completely as a result.
He said in an exceptionally solemn tone, "Kaido, do you really have such high expectations of me?"
"Ugh, ugh, ugh..." Kaido retorted, "Don't you have any confidence?!"
A person's ultimate potential is directly related to their ambition, not to mention that this is a world where the strength of one's domineering spirit is highly correlated with self-confidence.
Quinn's physical and Haki talents don't actually have very high potential.
110, standard Imperial Vice-President level.
However, his maximum intelligence is 120.
In theory, he could use technological means to elevate his strength to the level of a general.
If Kaido were to provide him with a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit on top of that, he might be able to raise his overall strength to a near-Emperor level of 120.
Of course, these are all theoretical limits. Whether they can actually meet Kaido's expectations depends on Queen's personal efforts and development.
"How could I possibly lack confidence!"
Quinn shouted, "Hahaha! I'm the world's second-best scientist! This little thing is no problem for me!!"
"Well then, I wish you all the best in reaching my standards soon and becoming a true Queen's main character!!"
After successfully dangling a big promise in front of Queen, Kaido then visited Judge and Caesar's research labs.
Similar tactics, similar empty promises.
Both of them have low physical talent, even lower than Quinn, with a development ceiling of only 100.
However, their intellectual talents are all on the same level as Quinn's, which is a maximum of 120.
As long as their wisdom and technology can be effectively utilized, it is not impossible to defy fate and become a technologically advanced general or master who has reached the theoretical upper limit but whose actual combat strength meets the standard.
