Because Sugar did not sign a contract with Vegapunk and his six clones, they can all move freely like Kyros.
And at their request, Sugar turned them into their favorite toys.
For example, there are octopus toys and centipede toys, just to have more hands for experimenting.
Even Basire felt a little speechless when he saw these strange toys.
Vegapunk himself, Thinking Edison, and Wisdom Pythagoras were all very happy, because now they have a lot of hands.
Evil Lilith, Violence Atlas, and Good Shaka are all humanoid toys.
And Greed York actually turned into a cute panda who lay flat all the time, just spending her time lying down and eating.
After Basire and Stussy watched the video they had recorded together, they also relearned the detailed plan this time.
Vegapunk was also there to explain the plan, allowing them to understand quickly.
…
At this time in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
Imu and the Five Elders both felt as if they had forgotten something important, but they did not react.
The Five Elders didn't know what they had forgotten for a while, so they could only continue to discuss the Second World Recruitment and how to deal with and suppress the Big Daddy Pirates.
With Van Augur's efforts, Egghead Island finally floated up and slowly left the sea.
However, Basire did not intend to move this island back to the waters of Hachinosu, but found a remote edge of the Calm Belt to hide it temporarily.
Under the leadership of the octopus toy Vegapunk, the restoration plan of the Ancient Weapon Pluton has also been fully launched.
Basire did not leave Egghead Island yet. He stayed here to protect the island and watch these Seraphs mature.
"Doctor, why don't you try using the Ripe Fruit ability to ripen a Seraph?"
Feeling that he lacked time and experimental samples, Basire began to come up with the idea of using Vegapunk's semi-mature seraphs.
Anyway, the supreme command of these Seraphs is not in the hands of Vegapunk, and they cannot be changed to Basire. Even if something bad happens to them, he doesn't mind.
As for the Seraphs that were made on Green Bit Island, they were still too young and not fully developed yet. He doesn't want to use the Ripe Fruit on them.
So let's use Vegapunk's Seraphs as experiments.
"The Ripe Fruit ability? Isn't this ability like the Return Fruit? If the user loses consciousness, the affected will recover immediately, right?"
Vegapunk is now so accustomed to his octopus toy body that he even wants sugar to turn him into a centipede like Edison, just to have a few more arms for experimentation.
"No, the Ripe Fruit will not stop working even if the user dies, so don't worry."
Basire assured Vegapunk that the process of the Ripe Fruit abilities is irreversible, and once it's used, it cannot be changed back.
"... Then let's use S-Mingo for the experiment."
Vegapunk thought for a moment and agreed to Basire's suggestion. After all, experiments yield true knowledge, and even if a Seraph's future is sacrificed, the experimental results must be seen.
And he doesn't really like the bloodline genes of the former Celestial Dragon Doflamingo.
"You really understand the importance of science, so let's get started directly."
Basire said with a smile, after he recovered the Ripe Fruit from Wano, Basire handed it over to an outstanding captain of the Tontatta tribe.
In addition to ripening the Seraphs, they will also ripen the artificial Devil Fruits to accelerate the expansion of the middle and low-level combat power of the Big Daddy Pirates and catch up with the 800-year-old foundation of the World Government.
This time when he came to Egghead Island, Basire brought a lot of people with special abilities, just to see if they could be put to any use.
As this Seraph Mingo, who looked only seven or eight years old, transformed into an adult Mingo who looked to be in his twenties, Vegapunk and several of his clones immediately started doing tests and collected various data on S-Mingo.
"Strength... has only increased by less than a hundredth..."
"Speed..., slightly increased..."
"Resilience... has also been enhanced a bit..."
"Knowledge and wisdom seem to have remained unchanged..."
"Body toughness… slightly increased."
"The ability to learn has been greatly enhanced, which is a sign of a mature body."
"There is no damage to the genetic level of the bloodline."
With the rapid collection of various data, the Seraph's combat power was roughly determined in the battle after being ripened by the Ripe Fruit ability.
"It seems that this Ripe Fruit cannot immediately enhance a child and bring him into his strongest state."
"However, this ability can allow these children to quickly enter a mature state, allowing them to quickly learn and train to become stronger."
"Overall, it was a successful experiment."
Vegapunk said a little excitedly. He could mature these seven or eight-year-old Seraphs in advance, let them learn and become stronger in advance, and then put them into use immediately.
"not bad."
Basire smiled and was very satisfied. He also understood that it was impossible to make a child reach his peak directly with the Ripe Fruit.
Otherwise, this Devil Fruit would be too buggy.
People are still the same, and the memories are still the same. Overall, not much changes, it's just that their bodies enter the maturity stage earlier.
"After the experimental subject matures, it can retain more memories."
Thinking Edison said excitedly.
"What a pity. Is it true that the highest authority of the Five Elders cannot be modified?"
Basire said with some reluctance. These Seraphs would not be allowed to see the Five Elders for the rest of their lives, otherwise they would rebel immediately.
Now under Vegapunk's authority settings, Basire also has the same command authority as Vegapunk and his clones, and Stussy's authority is also higher than that of Sentomaru and CP0 agents.
People with higher authority can override commands with lower authority.
Peer-level permissions cannot cover each other. Whoever's order comes first will be executed.
Therefore, Greed York could first order a Seraph to kill the other clones that have an equal authority, but these clones cannot override this command, and they cannot order the Seraph to stop and can only be killed.
"Setting the Five Elders as the highest authority is the basis for this project to continue."
Vegapunk also said helplessly that this was the highest order set into the genetic level of their bloodlines. Even he, the creator, had lower authority than the Five Elders, so he could not change these highest settings.
"How about adding an instruction? When they see the Five Elders, commit suicide as soon as possible."
Basire thought for a moment. If these Seraphs really accidentally saw the Five Elders, they would not wait for the Five Elders' orders and end their lives early. This seemed to be the safest way.
"..., wouldn't this be too cruel?"
Vegapunk said a little reluctantly, after all, these Seraphs are considered real people, and he doesn't want these little guys to die like this.
