Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The end of the One Piece Legend - New Research Ideas
The mountain of jewels and gold in the open space opposite Pangaea Castle was getting higher and higher, and it was really close to the top of the former, but finally the Five Elders gave the order to stop.
They considered that raising the height of this mound to the level of or beyond the castle would be an affront and disrespectful to the Celestial Dragons.
Despite this, the impressive magnitude of this mountain of gold and jewels shocked the entire world.
The world seemed to fall silent, only the roar of the waves in the sea could be heard.
"Are you kidding me!!" Buggy, who was watching the broadcast in the cabin of the ship, although he was only fifteen years old, had the same appearance as in the future He looked at the golden mountain in the screen and roared. "If we had this amount of treasure, we wouldn't be simple pirates!"
Buggy looked with envy at the countless amount of gold and jewels. He couldn't have so much even if he searched for treasures all his life, right?
"Aaahhh! Where the hell are these guys taking me!?" He screamed, clutching his head in a state of extreme distress.
When he was wandering in the East Blue, those mysterious men in black suddenly appeared in front of him. Without saying a word, they hit him and left him unconscious. When he woke up, he was on this ship.
"The place we're taking you is Punk Hazard, the secret base of the Special Science Group, sorry, it's now the Academy of Sciences." At this time, a man in black opened the door and walked in with a smile.
"Why are you sending me there?" Seeing that there was finally someone to communicate with, Buggy quickly stood up and asked.
"Because we have seen your talent in weapons research, you will be taught more professional knowledge there. From now on you can seriously become a scientist in the field of weapons."
"..." Buggy was stunned. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He could only ask in confusion: "How do you know that I have been studying new weapons recently? Obviously, I only had the idea last week."
How funny and outrageous is this?
Just a week ago, he started getting interested in it and he didn't even have all the materials for the research. And now, someone from the World Government came to tell him how talented he is in this area and also used strong methods to arrest him. Was the purpose to send him to a place to study?
The man in black in front of him was also confused. He blinked a few times, not knowing what to do or say in this situation.
"Well, you should know Shanks. You two were on the same boat before. By the way, he was the one who told us that you are particularly talented in this area." The man in black coughed twice and reluctantly found an excuse.
"Shanks?!" Buggy exploded instantly. His teeth became sharp fangs, and he burned with fury.
He couldn't believe that idiot had tricked him again. Previously, it was because of him that he ended up eating the Chop-Chop Fruit and became a landlubber, losing access to many underwater treasures.
"Where is he now?!"
"Cough, Shanks... It was discovered that he has the blood of the Celestial Dragons. So they sent him back to Mary Geoise."
"...?" Buggy's face froze, and three big golden question marks popped up on his head, and he shouted in disbelief: "What are you talking about? That bastard Shanks is a Celestial Dragon!"
The man in black nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, so I advise you to be careful with your words. You don't want to be arrested in Punk Hazard for showing disrespect towards the Celestial Dragons."
"Why, why him, do you have any evidence?" Buggy asked through gritted teeth, with uncontrollable envy in his tone.
A Celestial Dragon! That was infinite wealth, supreme status and always protected by Navy admirals! Oh, he wanted that too.
...
Pangaea Castle. Room of Authority
"Next is the Levely." Warcury said, sitting on the sofa, with a serious and solemn face.
Mars asked: "As for the towns where the slaves are settling, have the constructions been completed?"
Previously, they considered that after the approval of the Levely issues, they would not be able to free all of Mary Geoise's slaves at once, as many of them were mentally disturbed or harbored strong resentment towards the World Government.
Therefore, it was discussed that only 10,000 selected people would be released through the world live broadcast, and the remaining people would be placed under house arrest somewhere in the Red Earth Continent, and then psychologists would be sent to try to see if they could recover.
As for those whose hatred is really too deep, they can only be dealt with secretly.
"It's almost ready." Warcury responded.
Meanwhile, the News Coo loaded with newspapers waved their wings, flying towards different parts of the world. The content inside was about today's event, the live reveal of One Piece.
Although thanks to the instant transmission ability of the Den Den Mushi, most people around the world already knew about this at this time, like a newspaper, this crucial event that could even be recorded in history must be documented in their own pages.
Otherwise it would be unprofessional. Therefore, the headline on the front page of the newspaper in the extra edition announced: "The day the legend of One Piece ends!"
The second half of the Grand Line, the 'New World' sea area, Punk Hazard.
The island was covered by a dense green forest. In this vast jungle lies the former Special Science Group, now the research base of the Academy of Sciences.
The atmosphere in the entire facility was extremely serious and solemn, among the occasional roars of beasts.
"The fusion of items and Zoan-type devil fruits…"
In a laboratory packed with monitors, a middle-aged man, about six feet tall with a disproportionately large head resembling a radish, was wearing a loose white coat. He looked at the contents of a file, reading line by line.
He was Vegapunk, the current director of the Academy of Sciences and head of the Institute of Devil Fruit Studies.
"Interesting."
This information was kept in a lockbox by members of CP6 and escorted over three hours ago. He originally thought it was a professional report from other researchers.
But after looking at it, he discovered that the content is confusing and lax. There is no experimental data, and it is all guesswork. These seemingly random conjectures caught his eye.
"Although the whole article is full of unrigorous speculations, it did point me to a relatively clear research direction." This also makes Vegapunk's mood more complicated. He is now a little worried about whether the World Government has found a researcher who can replace him.
Not that he had much love for the World Government. After all, he was forcibly brought here. But he had to admit that here he could investigate without restrictions: money, equipment, research materials, everything he needed was available.
"Huh, what is this?" Just when he was about to pack up the documents, Vegapunk was surprised to find that there was another document envelope in the lockbox. He opened it and took it out, and his pupils suddenly trembled.
"Climate improvement plan for Future Country Baldimore." After reading the contents of the plan, his hands trembled a little. The World Government was actually prepared to help him solve the extreme cold climate in his hometown.
Vegapunk understood the intention of the World Government.
"..." There was a long silence. Vegapunk sat in his chair, looking at the document in his hands. He was moved, but logic told him that it was a 'bribe' from the World Government.
So the question arose: can their loyalty be bought in exchange for ensuring the happy future of their home?
"Dr. Vegapunk, the CP6 ship has entered the port, and they have brought Buggy, the former intern of the Roger Pirates."
"Buggy, is that the kid who is said to be very talented in explosives? Let's take him to the guest room to rest. Give him a day to get familiar with the environment here and start arranging a teacher for him the day after tomorrow."
To be honest, Vegapunk is really not interested in explosives, and he has no time to teach Buggy himself. Now he just wants to continue to invest in the research of devil fruits.
"Understood."
"Also, bring me two Zoan-type Devil Fruits and two famous swords for my experiments."
"Yes!"
…
"Shurororo... Teacher, did you call me?" Caesar, walked into Professor Fritz's research room.
They were on level 5.5 of Impel Down, the secret base of the Biochemical Research Institute directly affiliated with the Academy of Sciences of the World Government.
"Well, an order has just arrived from Mary Geoise, asking us to send people to Area RL1556 to assist the Construction Department in constructing a biochemical security station with isolation, sterilization and disinfection functions."
"We also have to wear thirty advanced chemical protection suits."
Hearing this, Caesar, looked surprised.
"RL?"
"I remember, isn't that the Red Earth Continent? Why build a biochemical safety station there? Would anyone dare to release biochemical weapons there?"
"Also, what do they need chemical protective suits for?"
Hearing the three consecutive questions from his student, Professor Fritz rubbed his brows with a headache and sighed.
"I don't know either. Don't you know the temper of the World Government? Since they haven't explained it, it means we shouldn't know, so don't ask around."
"Remember this, it can save your life!"
"Okay." Caesar was unhappy.
"Be careful when you go there. Although you are only sixteen years old, you still know how to operate a biochemical safety station, right?" Professor Fritz raised his head and asked.
Caesar nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I just want to go up there and take a walk!"
"Hey, be careful when you go there. Don't run around. Every word you say must be carefully considered. It's best not to say a word about anything that has nothing to do with work!" Professor Fritz continued to give his instructions earnestly.
"Shurororo... I got it teacher." Caesar chuckled, thinking that the professor was exaggerating about the danger of the Red Earth Continent.
Professor Fritz looked at his careless look and knew that he didn't take his words to heart at all. He shook his head helplessly, and then handed over a piece of information on the table. "By the way, look at this."
"What is it?" Caesar, curious, took the document and began to read it. His eyes were shining as he read the document. The document dealt with conjectures of new biochemical weapons based on biological gases, in addition to the description of different viruses and paralyzing drugs.
"It's strange. I was ordered to give you this document and to investigate it on your own." Professor Fritz was also full of doubts.
After Caesar finished reading the document, he felt excited. So he quickly turned around and ran towards the door of the investigation room. "Teacher, I'm going to the Red Earth Continent right now!"
Now he wants to visit the Red Earth Continent and also wants to start studying the interesting content of the document right away, but he doesn't want to choose one or the other, he wants both!
Professor Fritz looked at the automatically closing door, smiled resignedly, and at the same time, his gaze became deep. He wondered where the World Government had gotten all this information from.
The key point is that whether it is biochemical weapons based on biological gases, or the different types of viruses mentioned, they are all dangerous biochemical weapons that are highly contagious.
To be honest, his bottom line has not been broken yet, so subconsciously he doesn't want to study it.
But on the other hand, according to the document's conjectures, viruses can not only be used as weapons but can also serve as a treatment for certain diseases, and in fact if this is achieved it can save many people.
An internal struggle, a painful indecision.
But, if he disobeyed the World Government's orders about conducting the research, he could no longer be the director of the Biochemical Research Institute. Furthermore, after all these years, he knew too many secrets, which would probably result in his elimination.
"Okay, forget it. I will do it for the good of the people and for my wife and daughter. The rest, let's leave it in the hands of the World Government." Professor Fritz comforted himself in a low voice.

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Preparations - Kaido officially enters Impel Down
Fish-man Island, Mermaid Beach.
Kuzan watched Garp get off the warship in surprise, and quickly approached to greet him. "Vice Admiral Garp, why are you here?"
"Bwahaha... I was just passing through. I thought I'd stop by and see how things are going around here with the construction of this branch."
"Anyway, the coating technology here is the best in the world. It won't take much time and won't delay things."
Garp raised his neck and laughed boldly, attracting the curious eyes of many mermaid ladies around him, because they had also watched the live broadcast before.
So I am particularly curious about this naval hero who can blow up such an exaggerated super tsunami with one punch.
"Come on, take me to see how the branch here is different from the ones above."
Under the admiring gazes of the navy soldiers on both sides, Garp strode away with Kuzan, who was one step behind and leading the way from the side.
"By the way, is Kaido imprisoned on your ship? Can I see it?" Kuzan asked with a smile while putting his hands in his trouser pockets.
Garp agreed nonchalantly and said: "Sure, when I'm leaving, you can come with me to take a look. That boy's appearance is really interesting, he's over seven meters tall and has long bull-like horns on his head."
"Thank you, Vice Admiral Garp."
It didn't take long before the two of them, accompanied by a group of subordinates, arrived at the branch construction site. Most of it was already finished, showing outlines and a basic style.
"Hey, it's really different from the branch above. The roofs are all made of big shells. It's interesting. This is the first time I've seen this kind of Marine Branch!" Garp exclaimed happily, taking out a bag of senbei from Justice's Cloak's large pocket and ate it. He also handed a piece to Kuzan, who didn't refuse and bit off a piece.
"Vice Admiral, I have just received an order to go to the Extreme Ice Continent in search of the treasure of the Chinjao Family of Kano Country, the Jewel Ice Sheet."
"Chinjao? Bwahaha..." Garp laughed loudly when he heard this familiar name.
"I've heard about this too. Ever since I punched him in the head, he can no longer take out the treasures under the ice, so he has to go there once a year to take a look!"
After saying that, he thought of something, turned to look at Kuzan, and said: "Be careful when you encounter him when you go there."
"Although that guy has lost half of his combat power after losing his pointed head, his Busoshoku Haki and Hasshoken martial art are still a threat to you."
"Ok." Kuzan obediently accepted the warning and said immediately: "However, I can't spare time now. The Levely is about to be held. I will definitely be responsible for escorting King Neptune and Princess Otohime."
"Indeed, those royal families located far away from the four seas should have already set off." Garp nodded. He didn't know how many Levely he had experienced. He was too familiar with it.
"So I can only go to the Extreme Ice Continent after Levely, but there is another problem. This place is too far from the Extreme Ice Continent."
"It will take several months to go back and forth. During this time, there will be no one protecting Fish-man Island." Kuzan looked worried.
"As you know, this area often receives pirates from the 'New World'. Although my marines can deal with ordinary pirates, if it is a tougher situation, they will not be able to do so."
"We need a Vice Admiral in command of the branch."
Garp immediately understood what the boy was implying, stuck a finger up his nose and looked at him with a mischievous look, mockingly saying: "Are you asking me to take care of this place for you?"
"Dahaha." Kuzan laughed as he nodded.
"You brat, okay, I have nothing to do anyway."
Garp easily accepted Kuzan's proposal, and then said: "Okay, I've seen enough. I'm going to meet King Neptune first. You continue with your work."
"Ah, take care of yourself then." Kuzan bowed respectfully as he dismissed Garp.
…
Meanwhile, many Kings of the Four Seas who had seats on the Levely headed towards Reverse Mountain along with their royal escort, following the arrival of the Navy ships.
The kings in the first half and second half of the Grand Line were a little more relaxed and did not need to set off so many days in advance, but they could already feel that this year's Levely was unusual.
The movements of the world government this year are really eye-catching.
It has long aroused the worry, vigilance and expectation of many people. At this moment, all currents, whether overt or clandestine, were converging toward Mary Geoise.
Inside Castle Pangaea, the instigator of all this turmoil and chaos was reviewing the latest reminder of the system just discovered this morning.
Compared to the previous introduction, this explanation looks more like a complete version.
However, judging from the date displayed, it appeared on the second day after he activated the first Dimensional Gate. However, there was no notification on the star chart, making him read it only today.
This also reminds Imu that it is better to check the star map every day in the future. Otherwise, it is very easy to ignore new information.
"In addition to obtaining the authority to open a small Dimensional Gate to a random planet every year, every three years, one of the three small dimensional gates can be upgraded to a medium Dimensional Gate."
"In addition to obtaining a small Dimensional Gate as usual in the tenth year, you can also upgrade one of the three medium-sized Dimensional Gates to a large Dimensional Gate."
"The medium-sized Dimensional Gate is 300 meters high and 200 meters wide, and the large Dimensional Gate is 30,000 meters high and 20,000 meters wide."
Seeing this, Imu could tell. Isn't this a naked attempt to lure him into launching a large-scale interstellar invasion?
Previously, he felt that the small stargate, which was three meters high and two meters wide, was too small. It would take a long time for a large force to pass through it, and large vehicles, warships, etc. could not enter at all.
This medium-sized Dimensional Gate is completely different. Even giants can easily enter.
In addition, here is a detailed explanation of his specific control over the Dimensional Gate.
He can freely adjust the Dimensional Gate switch, freely adjust the Dimensional Gate position, and can freely observe the surroundings of the Dimensional Gate. The observation range depends on the star gate level.
Small Dimensional Gates have a radius of 100 meters, medium have a radius of 1,000 meters, and large have a radius of 10,000 meters.
He only needs to use mental commands to operate them. However, when adjusting the location of a Dimensional Gate, he can only adjust it from one side.
For example, he was in Starfish (One Piece World) and then he opened the dimensional door in front of him, but in the opposite world, the dimensional door appeared in the sea.
If he wants to move the Dimensional Gate to the Navy Headquarters, he only needs to keep its concept, location and specific images in mind, and can directly place the Dimensional Gate there.
However, the location of the world opposite the Dimensional Gate is still on the sea. If you want to move the Dimensional Gate to a place outside the observation range, you must personally go through the Dimensional Gate to the other world and then adjust the position of the Dimensional Gate in that world.
After checking the latest directions on the star map, Imu took the Den Den Mushi's handset and dialed some numbers on the rotating dial.
Soon, the Den Den Mushi imitated Ju Peter's appearance and spoke respectfully. "Imu-sama."
Imu asked: "Has the first batch of Cipher Pol been selected to be sent into the Dimensional Gate?"
"It has been selected. I am going to send CP9 headed by Laskey. There are ten people. Two of them are responsible for guarding the Dimensional Gate. The remaining eight people are divided into four teams to explore in four directions."
"Since we don't yet know whether the Den Den Mushi can be used normally in another world and whether it can be connected across Dimensional Gates, we still need to complete experiments in this area."
"But these will have to wait until the construction of the biochemical safety station is completed, and then researchers wearing high-end chemical protective suits will first detect the air components in the other world."
Ju Peter briefly explained the plan conceived by the experts under his leadership.
"Biological and chemical safety stations are indeed necessary." Imu nodded silently, acknowledging his prudence and caution. No one knew if the air of that other world contained bacteria or particular gases, and Imu feared that the envoys would bring them back to the home world.
"Is there a definite time?"
"In terms of the Construction Department, according to the guidance of the Biochemical Research Institute, it has been determined that the biochemical safety station will take twenty days to build, which happened to be three days before this Levely." Ju Peter replied.
"It takes time to test the air and at the same time, a call test can also be done with the Den Den Mushi. If there is no big problem, send to CP9 on Levely day." Imu thinks that day is quite memorable, and he is now looking forward to what the world behind this first dimensional gate will be like.
"Yes." Ju Peter answered and waited for Imu to finish the call before putting away the Den Den Mushi.
"It seems confirmed." Warcury said in a serious tone.
"Well, we are about to come into contact with another world, or even another civilization on another planet." Ju Peter showed a smile and then looked at Nusjuro.
"The outside of the biochemical security station will definitely need to be guarded by the military. Although it is unlikely, no one knows whether creatures from that world will break in once the dimensional gate is opened again."
Nusjuro understood that, so he responded:
""This is not a problem. There will be a prepared army, with automatic weapons and armored vehicles, such as tanks, in charge of guarding the RL1556 area. Additionally, area RL1556 is adjacent to the newly rebuilt Army Headquarters in area RL1555. If anything difficult happens, The large force can provide immediate support, and there is also Douglas Bullet."
Ju Peter said: "Just changing the uniforms is not enough. No matter how good the equipment is, it cannot be called a first-class army if the quality of the soldiers is insufficient."
Nusjuro nodded and said: "That's why Imu-sama transferred Bullet to the army, but it will definitely take some time to train the troops, so we can't rush it."
"Is it possible to consider sending some navy there, or directly transfer part of the navy to the army?" Saturn asked.
"If Imu-sama didn't mention the Navy's involvement, he must have his reasons. And the Navy has a lot of things to deal with, so let's leave them alone for now."
At the same time.
Just when countries around the world had just returned to calm after the public live broadcast of One Piece, and then faced the second hustle and bustle of the Levely, the large underwater prison, Impel Down, once again welcomed a big figure.
"Huh, this is my first time here. I don't know how it is different from other prisons. I'm eager to see if he can keep me."
Wearing special seastone handcuffs, Kaido stepped off the warship under the surveillance of Garp and a group of naval officers. He looked at the huge iron door in front of him and the forbidding internal environment rebelliously.
"Bwahaha... I have never heard or seen anyone leave here. If you can do it, you will be the first since the founding of the World Government. I will be happy to bring you back personally." Garp joked, laughing out loud.
"Come in quickly, there are some old acquaintances of yours inside, you can catch up and reminisce about old times."
Kaido glanced at the jailers who came out to greet them, the most conspicuous ones were Vice Warden Magellan and Gecko Moria. He blinked and asked: "Is there any wine in there?"
"How do I know if I've never been there? Just go in and ask." Garp bit a piece of his senbei, waved to Magellan, and then turned and left.
"There is definitely no wine, but we will turn on the water pipe later and you can drink as much as you want. Think of it as a welcome gift to Impel Down that we have prepared for you." Magellan walked over and looked at him expressionlessly, then stepped aside to get out of the way, and said again: "I think you don't need to be pushed, Kaido."
"Worororo... The horns on your head are very similar to mine, but believe it or not, I will be able to come out of here in less than a year!" Kaido said loudly and confidently. After speaking, he puffed up his chest and strode towards the gate like a general after a victorious battle.
Magellan was noncommittal and had no interest in replying. Instead, Gecko Moria, who was still a young prison guard, sneered while holding the big scissors in his hand.
"Kishishishi… I really don't believe it. Do you think you can do things I can't do?"
