Capítulo 120: Introduction to Vegapunk
Although everyone did find it extremely difficult, Robin and Nami were slowly getting good at it.
As women, they were quickly able to connect with Merry despite not being able to see her. As they grew closer, they also began to teach her through the means of simple one-sided communication.
Bang!
"Liam, Liam, I succeed. I truly succeeded."
Chopper came running inside the storage room where Luffy, Liam, Robin, and Nami were staying.
Luffy and Liam were focused on Armament Haki training. During this time, Luffy was fully able to use Armament Haki while being handcuffed by sea stone.
On the other hand, Liam was doing the same practice but he was very far from Luffy in terms of holding on against Sea Stone.
But, there was one thing that they were common. It was training their Armament Haki by connecting the entire ship with it.
This was a new training method that he came up with.
Since they weren't sure how long will it take to properly communicate with Merry, Liam came up with a new idea to prevent Merry from getting hurt.
Yes, she could heal but if they can prevent any kind of injuries, they would do it. More importantly, this was a kind of training as well.
Covering the entire ship with Armament Haki takes a lot more Haki than most people can use in their entire life. Not to mention, their goal was to keep supplying Armament Haki to the ship almost all the time even if they run low on it.
As for Robin and Nami, they were simply training to communicate with Merry. When Chopper rushed in with an important information, Liam instantly stood up.
His eyes widened as he stared at Chopper and lifted him up.
"Did you really succeed? Shouldn't it take more than a few weeks to complete?"a piece of important information
"It was supposed to take more time but since I already knew the component of Rumble Ball and also knew how to manipulate those components, it didn't take me long to figure out the perfect method."
"And, since I had brought a lot of resources that we found in the other half of Jaya, I was able to prepare it immediately."
Chopper calmly explained, unlike Liam who was extremely excited about it.
"What are you talking about, Liam?" Nami couldn't help but get curious as she asked.
Luffy and Robin also found it extremely curious.
Liam looked at Chopper and said.
"Call everyone! Let me explain it to everyone at the same time."
Chopper nodded his head and called everyone into the storage room.
"Everyone, I know all of us are training heavily and I believe we will soon get even stronger than we are now. But, there is one thing we often miss."
"That is battle. Haki blooms in the midst of battle. So, battles are extremely important for the growth of any individual. But, we have just started our journey and our pace is quite fast."
"So, we won't be facing a lot of battle. We will still face powerful enemies but it's just that we won't face a lot of battles. So, I thought of using Chopper Rumble Ball idea to strengthen one's physical powers."
"Although Haki is often understood as Willpower. I firmly believe that each type of Haki has its own origin related to the human body. For example, Armament Haki can be practiced by firmly merging your Spirit into your physical strength."
"And, Observation Haki can be practiced by merging your Spirit into your sense. So, the sixth sense isn't exactly a new kind of sense but rather a combination of all senses and its improved form."
"As for Conqueror Haki, it is a true manifestation of your Willpower. Unlike Armament and Observation, it is simply your determination and Willpower."
"So, if Haki is related to a body after all, why can't it be studied? You have to know that Vegapunk has even created an artificial devil fruit."
Hearing his words, everyone's eyes widened. Even Chopper who had some understanding of Haki and body couldn't comprehend the creation of devil fruit.
Because it naturally sounds impossible.
"Is it really possible? Even if it is Vegapunk, can he really create a devil fruit?" Robin was the first one to raise the question.
Liam nodded his head and said.
"Of course! Currently, he is already working on Kaido's devil fruit though I am not sure if he has completed the devil fruit or not. I learned this information way back."
"In fact, Zoan devil fruits are easiest to replicate since they are technically animals. As long as you can replicate the genes of the animals and merge them with fruit, then it should be possible to replicate the devil fruit."
"Of course, it is extremely hard. Since if you copy one's gene, it is possible to copy the animal's instinct and behavior with it."
Chopper nodded his head and said.
"Indeed! If I use my Monster Point, I will lose my mind. That form is extremely dangerous because it utilizes the power of the rumble ball to push the genes of my body to extreme limits."
"So, doesn't that mean World Government will have an unlimited supply of devil fruits?" Robin asked with fear emerging from her eyes.
Her words made everyone serious even Luffy was no exception. Liam had already told them about their final enemies.
They were destined to fight World Government. If World Government could really do such a thing, then it would even be almost impossible to fight the World Government.
Liam chuckled and looked at Robin.
"You were given a bounty at the age of eight. So, what did you do to survive?"
Although this question was a bit harsh, it was a perfect way to answer Robin's question. Because of what she did just to survive, nobody knows better than hers.
"Liam!" Nami saw Robin's expression and immediately reminded him.
But Liam ignored her and continued to speak to Robin
"Even to Alabasta Kingdom, to accomplish your goal of reading the history, you still helped Crocodile in his plan. Why do you think Vegepunk would be any different than you?"
"But, isn't he the most intelligent person in the world? Why would his condition be the same as that of Robin?" Sanji spoke with a stern tone.
He was also unhappy with Liam's words but he didn't rebuke Liam.
"Do you think Vegapunk is a bastard like your father?" Liam narrowed his eyes and spoke with contempt in his tone.
Although Liam cursed his father, Sanji didn't feel unhappy. He simply stated.
"That bastard is not my father."
"Anyway, you don't know anything about Vegapunk. He doesn't want to help World Government because of threats or for power. He just wants to bring change in the world."
"And, his way of doing this is through technology. He wants to create peace in the world where everyone can communicate with each other and push the limits of science and technology farther."
"Windmill Village, Syrup Village, Cocoyashi Village, these are just examples of places without any education system. In the East Blue, you will even find Devil Fruit as a myth."
"But, in the Grandline, there are dozens of people with Devil Fruit and technology of communication through Transponder Snail is common. That's why I hate World Government."
"They don't want the world to develop because a developed world will break their rule. And, Vegapunk is the same but he has several restrictions."
"He can't work on his science without enough funding. Otherwise, Vegapunk wouldn't be working with World Government instead he would've been working with Revolutionary."
"In fact, he is working with Revolutionary but I am not sure just how deep their cooperation is."
Liam explained.
Hearing his words, everyone's mind blew for a moment. Especially Robin who was the one with the most interest in these kinds of subjects didn't know anything about Vegapunk.
"Vegapunk sounds like a nice guy." Luffy chuckled. For him, these things didn't matter much but he was indeed happy with Vegapunk.
"So, developing the medicine to improve one's physical strength is nothing much. If possible, I want to find a way to help devil fruit users awaken their devil fruit through medicine."
Hearing his words, Luffy's eyes lit up as he quickly grabbed Liam's shoulder and said.
"You must give the first medicine to me."
Liam rolled his eyes and pushed Luffy.
"I said, I want to. Do you really think I am a medical genius or even a scientific genius? I only have ideas. The only one who can truly make it in our ship is Chopper."
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes shifted toward Chopper specially those with devil fruits who looked at him with sparkling eyes as if he was a treasure.
"Liam, if we truly develop that kind of medicine, won't we be extremely rich?"
Nami's eyes turned to Bailey as she asked.
"Yoxi! Chopper, you must make that medicine. I will definitely awaken my devil fruit." Luffy raised his hands and shouted in excitement. He even started dreaming about his awakening.
Unfortunately, the next moment Liam poured cold water into his dreams.
"I don't know about others but your devil fruit hasn't been awakened for Eight Hundred Years."
