Reincarnated as Kaido, married Big Mom, and formed a dual-Emperor pirate crew.

Chapter 162 Equality for All and Pirates

P.S.: First of all, I apologize to everyone for taking two consecutive days off; it was my fault.

I'm so sorry!

I'll post 2,000 chapters today, and I'll catch up on the rest of the chapters I owe as soon as possible in the next few days.

………………

Two years is neither a long nor a short time.

The Beasts Pirates, who focus on development, rarely appear in newspapers.

Instead, Tom successfully connected the four islands of Carnival City, Food City, Spring Queen City, and Water Seven using the sea train.

In addition, Vegapunk also produced corresponding results.

I looked at the blue fruit with polka dot patterns that Vegapunk had placed inside the glass dome, lying quietly inside.

Kaido asked with a smile, "Is this an artificial Devil Fruit? Whose ability did it copy?"

“We are using Asie’s bloodline factor,” Vegapunk replied.

"However, it is too early to say that it is a finished product. We have not officially fed it to people yet, so whether it is a success or a failure will only be known after someone conducts an experiment."

"Hmm, that's easy! Just grab any enemy pirate as a test subject."

Kaido has no qualms about conducting human experiments.

Putting aside the fact that this is not an extreme experiment, most of the pirates who ventured into the Grand Line from the four seas were not good people.

Adventure crews like Luffy's are always a minority; the vast majority of pirates are scum who don't even deserve to be considered human.

Using them for experiments is simply making use of waste.

a few days later.

The final experimental results came out after a death row inmate was fed the fruit developed by Vegapunk and successfully transformed into a leatherback turtle.

First of all, the artificial Devil Fruit has been successfully created, and its abilities have been basically replicated one-to-one.

However, there are also shortcomings.

Flaw one: It clones Asie's bloodline factor, but after Asie was enhanced by the system, he has become an Ancient Zoan type user, but the cloned Devil Fruit ability is still the same as the leatherback turtle form before the system enhancement.

The second flaw is that the color of the artificial fruit after transformation is incorrect. The leatherback turtle transformed from the death row inmate is a pink leatherback turtle, not the deep black-blue of the original.

Apart from that, no further defects have been identified.

With a single stroke, Kaido chopped down the death row inmate who had eaten an artificial Devil Fruit, leaving Kaido and Vegapunk staring at each other in disbelief.

Kaido asked, "Can it be mass-produced?"

Vegapunk frowned slightly. "I'm afraid that won't work. The raw materials are very difficult to obtain."

Seeing the burning desire in Kaido's eyes, Vegapunk wondered if his decision was right.

But looking at the changes that have taken place in Queen's City in recent years.

After Kaido killed all the nobles on the island, the entire island only needed to pay taxes to Kaido, and no longer needed to pay the Heavenly Gold.

The islanders' living conditions have undergone a dramatic transformation.

Moreover, although Kaido can be quite brutal at times, the people living under his command are indeed very happy and prosperous.

It was precisely because he saw these tangible things that Vegapunk did not treat the World Government the way he did in the original timeline.

They deliberately claimed the experiment failed when they had actually created it, just to prevent the World Government from obtaining mass-produced artificial Devil Fruits.

"It's not just a problem with raw materials; there are also significant issues with the color."

Vegapunk frowned and said, "Artificial Devil Fruits still need further improvement. We can hold off on scaling up production until I get the color issue sorted out."

"Hmm, the color is a minor issue."

"No, I think it's very important!!"

Seeing the obsessive-compulsive determination in Vegapunk's eyes, Kaido had no choice but to let him be.

Turning around, they arrived at Caesar's laboratory.

Caesar was now working like a machine, frantically accelerating his various experiments in the laboratory.

"That damned Vegapunk! That damned Vegapunk!! Damn it!!!"

Even after Kaido entered, the irritable Caesar continued to mutter and curse Vegapunk.

"Hey Caesar, how's the progress on your artificial fruit?"

"Um?!!"

Caesar, who was busy at work, turned around and glared at him. "Didn't I tell you not to bother me while I'm doing my research?!"

However, when he saw that the visitor was Kaido, his expression immediately changed 180 degrees.

"Oh, it's Captain Kaido~~"

"My progress is actually not bad, I'll be able to catch up with Vegapunk soon!"

"Just give me 10 more days, no! 5 more days!"

Caesar held up five fingers.

"Just give me five more days! I'll definitely produce my artificial Devil Fruit results!!"

"Hmm, there's no need to rush."

Kaido placed his hand on Caesar's shoulder and gently comforted him:

“I know that your research direction is different from Vegapunk’s.”

"Vegapunk creates artificial Devil Fruits by copying the bloodline factors of those who already possess them."

"You, on the other hand, directly use the bloodline factors of rare animals that already exist in reality as a basis to create artificial Devil Fruits that can combine with the human body."

"In terms of research difficulty, yours is far more difficult than Vegapunk's!"

Upon hearing this, Caesar nodded in deep agreement and said, "That's right! Vegapunk is just good at using tricks!"

"That kind of thing doesn't even qualify as a real artificial Devil Fruit!!"

Kaido patted Caesar on the shoulder again.

"So you don't need to worry, I won't cut off your funding."

"You're researching a real artificial fruit! It's normal that you won't see results anytime soon!"

"I have patience and enough money to wait patiently for the day you actually achieve results in your research!"

Under Kaido's persuasion, Caesar's violent aura gradually calmed down.

"Captain Kaido... thank you for your trust!!"

Caesar's eyes were glistening with tears.

The moment Vegapunk successfully created the artificial Devil Fruit, he felt like the sky was falling.

This is a topic he's been researching for a long time!!

Vegapunk, that bastard, actually came from behind and won?!

At that time, Caesar almost had a one-on-one duel with Vegapunk.

Fortunately, Asie and Quinn stopped them.

Now, Kaido's trust has given Caesar renewed confidence.

"Please rest assured, Captain Kaido, I will not waste a single penny of the funds you invested in me until my work is complete!!"

"Go for it! I'm looking forward to your real artificial fruit!!"

After comforting Caesar, Kaido went to see Queen and Judge.

They are both very anxious now.

Vegapunk created artificial Devil Fruits using his lineage factors. Regardless of whether he used tricks or not, he succeeded!

In contrast, I don't yet have any notable achievements to show for myself.

This made the two, who were eager to become the world's number one scientist, somewhat anxious.

Similar to Caesar.

After calming the two down, Kaido returned to his office.

He turned around and looked at the map of the Grand Line hanging on the wall.

Three sections of the sea train track have already been added, and the next step is to extend the line to other islands.

Although it is important, it is essentially just a matter of needing a period of construction time.

"It's about time... to head into the second half of the Grand Line."

Kaido looked at the sea area on the other side of the Red Line on the map.

Now that they've created artificial Devil Fruits, it's about time Vegapunk and his team moved to a safer place to conduct their research.
