Chapter 280: Modifiers
"Caesar Kurang?"
Gaji was a little surprised, and after recalling it carefully, he thought about it and said, "It's a little impressive." Remember that Caesar Kurang is a somewhat advanced but arrogant guy, he claims to be a competitor of Vegapunk, but most of his research results are actually picking people's teeth, that is, on top of Vegapunk's achievements and then 'modifying' a little more, whether it is good or bad is not certain. β
"So, he's also taking the biotech route?" Victor asked.
"Yes."
Gaji nodded, and the relevant memories in his mind became vivid after trying to recall: "Vegapunk, me, and Caesar Kurang are all routes related to the study of bloodline factor technology. Of course, biotechnology is only part of Vegapunk's subject, and his head really doesn't look like a product of this era. To put it mildly, Vegapunk has mastered the power of science and technology by 500 years beyond this era! β
Seeing that the topic was a bit off, Gaji coughed and said, "Let's go back to Caesar Kurang." Although this guy is an out-and-out villain, and his ability to innovate technology is quite low, he is quite clever when it comes to biological and chemical weapons. Kaiser Kurang is passionate about creating biochemical poison gases and unconventional banned drugs, and takes the greatest pleasure in experimenting. For this, Vegapunk often reprimanded him, and the two had many disagreements. Shortly after Vegapunk researched the Hemorrhage Factor technology, Caesar Kurang proposed a project to modify the life blueprint produced by the Devil Fruit on the human body. β
"This topic based on the bloodline factor technology is of great interest to Vegapunk. But it didn't take long for the World Government to find and surround our research labs on the Great Passage. All the scientists in the research team were arrested, and I refused the government's offer and found an opportunity to escape. But I heard that both Vegapunk and Caesar Kurang were recruited into the scientific corps of the Navy Headquarters. β
"Coincidentally, I was also interested in this topic, and when I returned to Jerma, I recruited a group of loyal scientific research and development teams to study it. Eventually, I discovered the Devil Fruit's biggest secret! β
Gaji's expression became fanatical: "When taking different Devil Fruits, they will modify and overwrite certain sections of the structure in the user's [Life Plan], and different modifications will also lead to different external abilities that reflect the human body itself. Devil Fruits are not so much a curse of the sea as they are a godsend-given bloodline factor modifier! β
"You mean...... The human body itself has various abilities, but it needs a Devil Fruit to activate it? Lafayette, whose brain was spinning very quickly, had a hard time listening, but he did understand a little.
"Of course not! Humans are human beings, and there aren't that many fancy abilities. Gaji waved his hand impatiently: "If you don't eat the Devil Fruit, no matter how strong your cultivation is, it is only a human body, and it is impossible to cultivate for thirty years to be able to breathe fire and generate electricity, this is not scientific!" For example, that Dazbonis is a superhuman person with the ability to quickly slash fruits, so how did his ability come about? β
Dazbonis raised his head with a blank face, and his mouth opened slightly: "...... Yes? β
"After he eats the Devil Fruit and swallows the flesh, the Rapid Slash Fruit's own lineage factor will act as a modifier to invade Dazbonis's bloodline factor very quickly and begin to modify the overlay, allowing Dazponias's bloodline factor to begin to mutate in a fixed direction. After the corresponding structure is covered, it means that Dazbonis has departed from the meaning of normal human beings, and has become a new life form called 'Blade Man'. [Turning his body into a blade] became his instinct, as simple as breathing. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Victor and his party were shocked by this shocking explanation. Robin frowned and thought for a moment, then said suspiciously, "But Vegapunk has successfully developed the technology of [Letting Inanimate Beings Eat Devil Fruits], which conflicts with the [Bloodline Factor Modifier] you are talking about. Do non-living organisms also have a lineage factor? β
"Let inanimate beings eat Devil Fruits?" Gaji scratched his chin and grinned, and the aristocratic demeanor of the royal family was gone: "This can also work?" Don't say if it makes sense, it won't work......"
"Maybe this will open your mind, Mr. Gaji."
A roll of paper floated in the zippered space of Victor's palm, and he handed it to Gaji, "Please be careful, this is very valuable information. β
"ThisβThis is!" Kaji was immediately stunned when he unfolded the drawing, and then began to read it hungrily.
Lei Jiu saw that her father would not be able to escape from the ocean of knowledge for a while, she smiled apologetically at Victor and the others, then stood up and walked outside the door and instructed the maid to bring some delicious pastries and black tea. The three princes sat on the couch and yawned incessantly, uninterested in such academic discussions.
Victor was not in a hurry, and after the maid respectfully brought the tea, he held the teacup and waited quietly for Gaji to finish reading.
After a long time, Gaji finally raised his head, his face pale: "Actually, it can be done so easily...... It is worthy of him, a super genius whose wisdom surpasses 500 years of this era! β
"Maybe this information will help you refine your theory?" Victor took a sip of black tea and said with a smile.
"Of course...... Of course! Gaji caressed the re-rolled materials with a precious treasure and said excitedly, "He used the Devil Fruit itself to also possess the Bloodline Factor, and used an ingenious and simple technique to make the non-living beings absorb the Bloodline Factor and change their nature. After all, the Devil Fruit is an extremely domineering collection of bloodline factors, and the key to this technique is that it must be an animal-based Devil Fruit. The bloodline factor of the animal line contains more 'life information' than the other two lines, and it is easier for the non-living form to become a life form acceptable to the world. β
"In other words, if it's a superhuman or a natural system, it will cause unpredictable changes in this technology?" Victor frowned.
"Not necessarily."
Gaji thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "The superhuman and natural systems also contain 'life information', but much less than the animal system. Didn't you find out? As long as you eat an animal-based Devil Fruit, your personality will change more or less towards the habits of that animal. Carnivores will be more ferocious and bloodthirsty, while herbivores will become physically strong and good at defending. If you want to take a more extreme example, eating a sloth fruit will become extremely lazy and slow, and the honey badger fruit will make the eater extremely resentful and impulsive and irritable, both of which can be used as references. β
Lafayette unconsciously tugged at the neck of the gown.
"Has anyone ever eaten two Devil Fruits?" Robin asked.
"Of course they are, but they didn't end up very well." "Think about it, if a person's bloodline factor has completed the directional mutation, and then there is a domineering external force that makes it mutate in another route again, what will happen to this person? Boom! β
Gaji exaggeratedly opened the ten fingers of his hands violently: "This person's bloodline factor will be overwhelmed, which will directly lead to a chain reaction in the body and a complete collapse. This is also why no one has ever possessed the power of two Devil Fruits. β
Victor thought for a moment, then held his cheeks and asked, "So, is there a Devil Fruit that has the ability to create a clone independent of the main body?" β
"Doppelganger?" Gaji was stunned.
"Yes, doppelganger. It's not impossible to call it a 'stand-in'. Victor snapped his fingers, and a zipper appeared in the air behind him, and SW, who was covered in a silver metallic light, walked out of it.
"Is it feasible to let the doppelganger eat the Devil Fruit?"
