One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 272: Artificial Nature-type General!

New world.

The second half of the Grand Line.

The weather here is crazy.

In the sky above a chaotic sea, an island stands silently.

It is full of a technological feel that is ahead of its time.

Future Island, Egghead Island.

A gigantic hemispherical building floats in the clouds.

Below is a vast industrial area interwoven with a cyberpunk city of holographic projections.

The air is thick with the frenzied energy of technology.

Punk Record Layer, Core Laboratory No. 88.

Countless robotic arms danced in the air like a thousand-armed Guanyin, meticulously assembling a dazzling array of parts.

Blue data streams cascaded across the circular screen like a waterfall.

It reflected an enormous face.

Vegapunk.

This genius scientist, who claims to possess wisdom surpassing that of humans by five hundred years, is now dancing wildly in front of the holographic screen without any regard for his image.

At this moment, she was so excited that her blood was flushed, like a ripe apple.

"Puhaha! Puhaha! Puhahahaha!"

Vegapunk stuck out his tongue so long that he didn't even bother to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and his fingers left afterimages as he typed on the virtual keyboard.

"Those stingy old men! Those Five Elders who value Pele more than their own lives! They've finally decided to spend money!"

In the center of the screen is a huge gold number prompt box.

[Special funding from world governments for stability maintenance: Already received]

The string of zeros that followed was enough to buy dozens of small countries.

"To cope with an unprecedented threat and to fill the void left by the defection of their general, they finally decided to pull out their most precious military funds!"

Vegapunk was spinning around like a madman in the laboratory.

Like a child who has received a new toy.

"Although time is tight, the stability of the green blood still needs to be adjusted, and the personality is not fully completed, so we can only make a semi-finished product. But this is a groundbreaking masterpiece! It is proof that science transcends theology!"

He stopped and pressed a red physical button.

"Zi"

Amidst the piercing sound of hydraulic exhaust, a five-meter-high giant cylindrical culture chamber rose from the center of the laboratory.

White, cold air billowed out, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped to freezing point.

Several researchers in white protective suits surrounded them, their notebooks trembling.

The cold air dissipated.

The creature inside was revealed.

A boy.

He was shirtless, his skin a bronze brown, and his white hair floated in the nutrient solution.

The most striking feature was the pair of jet-black wings on his back.

And a never-ending flame burning on its back.

Lunaria genes.

But that wasn't what terrified the researchers the most.

What truly suffocated them was the boy's face.

Which face?

A touch of sleazy, a touch of languor.

Yet, he still retains a childish air about him.

Although he wasn't wearing his signature brown sunglasses yet, his facial features clearly identified him as a naval admiral.

Kizaru, Borsalino!

"S Monkey"

Vegapunk stared at the masterpiece with rapt attention, his voice trembling.

"Combined with the divine body of the Lunaria race and the light element of the Glint-Glint Fruit. Although the laser generator on the arm hasn't been installed yet, and the personality tuning isn't complete."

The boy inside the incubation chamber had his eyes closed, his chest heaving.

"Is it really okay for the Doctor to directly use Admiral Borsalino's bloodline factor? After all, he is still..."

"Shut up! Science has no stance!"

Vegapunk interrupted his assistant, his eyes burning with fervor.

"Whether Borsalino is an Admiral or not is unimportant. What matters is that his bloodline factor is perfectly compatible with the Glint-Glint Fruit! With this, even if all the Marine Admirals are wiped out, we can still mass-produce Logia-type Devil Fruit users!"

"This is the most powerful human weapon, the prototype of the Seraph!"

Vegapunk laughed and pressed the pre-program's wake-up button.

Inside the incubation chamber, the monster with the face of a young Kizaru twitched its eyelids.

A chilling, terrifying atmosphere permeated the laboratory.

at the same time.

10,000 meters above the ground.

A golden streak of light was tearing through the atmosphere at supersonic speed, leaving a long-lasting white trail in the azure sky.

Chen Ye.

He had just left Baltigo and was now speeding towards the first half of the Grand Line.

The wind pressure was deflected by the energy shield surrounding him.

What he just said to Long was not only to intimidate the revolutionary army, but also to express a question he had about his own heart.

The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself.

In this world, power is everything.

Only absolute power can transcend the cycle of reincarnation and set the rules.

Just then.

A familiar, cold, emotionless mechanical voice exploded deep within his mind.

【Ding! 】

[System settlement begins]

Chen Ye paused in flight, hovering above the sea of ​​clouds.

[Detection indicates that the host has completed deep interactions with three key figures: Monkey D. Dragon, Kuzan, and Zephyr.]

[Template Collection Task: The Changer of the Era Assessment Completed.]

Chen Ye's lips twitched slightly.

The trip to Baltimore yielded more than just an alliance with the revolutionary army.

It was all for this moment.

[Rewards are being distributed]

[Congratulations, host! You have gained 50% of the combined strength of Monkey D. Dragon, Kuzan, and Zephyr at their peak.]

[Note: This reward will be directly integrated into the host's body. The process may be accompanied by severe physiological reactions. Please be prepared.]

[Begin merging 3, 2, 1.]

The countdown has reached zero.

"boom!"

Chen Ye's body, which had been floating steadily, suddenly stiffened.

Three completely different powers were forcibly crushed by the system and perfectly integrated into Chen Ye's body.

"Click, click"

He unconsciously clenched his fist.

The overflowing power caused the surrounding space to crack with fine black lines, like shattered glass!

The power was so great that even space could not contain it.

"breathe"

Chen Ye gasped for breath, each breath stirring up the surrounding air currents and creating a small whirlwind.

The red light gradually faded.

His original skin color was revealed.

No change in appearance

But what terrifying power is contained within this body at this moment?

Only he himself knows.

"Is this only half the power of three generals?"

As Chen Ye felt the overwhelming aura and martial arts experience within his body, the light in his eyes almost materialized.

"The strength of our bodies these days is becoming more and more inhuman."

He smiled, but the madness in his eyes grew stronger.

He used to have god-level combat power through the Law of Light and various other means.

Now, with the combined power of all the strong individuals, my physical skills have also reached a certain level of prowess!

"Since your physical skills have reached this level, that thing should be able to withstand it, right?"

Chen Ye's consciousness probed into the system space.

Inside, a fruit floats silently.

A fruit that is completely black, capable of absorbing light, and exudes an ominous aura.

[Dark-Dark Fruit Mythical Zoan Type Erebus Form].

This was the highest-level reward he had ever received, and he had never dared to eat it.

He had previously feared that he would not be able to withstand the conflict between the two extreme laws of light and darkness within his body.

The slightest mistake could result in death by explosion.

but now!

"The opportunity has arrived."

Chen Ye licked his dry lips, his gaze sharp as an eagle's.

He needs to find a place.

An absolutely quiet place that can withstand any disturbance.

Chen Ye activated his Observation Haki, scanning the sea below like a radar.

He quickly identified his target.

About fifty nautical miles from here, there is a deserted, rocky island.

The island is barren, with only jagged rocks and howling sea winds.

An excellent place for seclusion.

"That's it."

Chen Ye took a deep breath and adjusted his posture.

next second.

He stomped down suddenly in mid-air.

"Bang!"

The air beneath their feet exploded with a loud bang.

Chen Ye was like a falling golden meteorite, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, and he crashed straight into the deserted island.

Rumble.

A few seconds later.

A deafening roar echoed from the center of the deserted island.

The entire island trembled violently.

Scattered pebbles shot out like bullets, and dust obscured the sky.
