Vongola Technical Department.
Thanks to Verde and the others, this area looked so futuristic, making anyone that entered this place feel like it was out of this world.
However, the number of people in the Technical Department was very small. In addition to Verde, Shoichi Irie, Spanner, and Giannini, there were only a handful of people who helped them. After all, it was not easy to find someone with that kind of talent in the One Piece world.
Giotto believed that aside from Vegapunk, whose scientific achievement was said to be at least five hundred years ahead of the current technology, only Caesar Clown and Vinsmoke Judge were worth mentioning.
Apart from the three of them, maybe only Luffy's future shipwright, Franky, and one of the four commanders of the Revolutionary Army, Lindbergh, could be called a scientist, but they were close to the scientist of the Vongola Family's technical department.
When he entered the technical department with little Robin, the first person he saw was Spanner. His body was full of parts, and it was clear that what he was studying at the moment was a humanoid weapon.
There was no doubt that Spanner was making the Moska. Although this was not something that could be achieved in a short time, once the Moska research was successful, it would be a great asset to the Family even if they only managed to make two or three.
He wondered whether he'd ever see the scene of Moska fighting the Pacifista in the future. The humanoid weapon made by two top scientists, which would come out on top?
Of course, it would take more than ten years for Vegapunk to invent the Pacifista. Moreover, it was impossible to complete the research on Moska anytime soon. On the other hand, the money required to research the material for building Moska was going to be millions, if not billions...
More than half of the research funds have been given to Verde, so no matter how efficiently the Family made money, the technical department will always tell Giotto three words... not enough money!
"Huh? Boss, I don't know you're coming."
Spanner subconsciously looked up and saw Giotto walking in. He immediately asked, "Oh right, is there something wrong with the contact lens? I heard that you were sent flying in the battle on Ball island recently. Is it because of the lack of calculation speed?"
As Spanner said, he was indeed sent flying back then as he didn't have the time to balance the Hard Sky Flame and Soft Sky Flame according to the contact lens' configuration in order to deal with Sengoku and directly fired the X-Burner prematurely.
It wasn't entirely wrong to say that it was because of the lack of calculation speed.
"That is part of it, but I think I can make up for it on my own. As long as my Color of Observation Haki is good enough, I should be able to reduce the time it takes to balance my Dying Will Flame," Giotto said slowly.
Indeed, the better his mastery of Color of Observation Haki, the less time he needed to balance the Hard and Soft Sky Flame, and then he would be able to make up for the lack of speed from the contact lenses.
This was Giotto's idea as a combatant, but for Spanner...
"Let us handle such a scientific problem. The calculating speed can definitely be improved. It just needs to be further strengthened and modified. On that note, I think I need more..."
"Spanner!"
Giotto instantly interrupted, "I think you should focus on your research on Moska because improving my Color of Observation Haki will also serve me better in battle. Besides, I am satisfied enough with the current contact lens. You don't need to improve the calculation speed for the time being. See you later!"
After saying these words unusually fast, Giotto directly brought Robin inside because he had already foreseen what Spanner was about to say. It was impossible to give Spanner additional funds as he was short on money right now.
Moreover, if he gave money to Spanner, there was no telling when Verde would show up in front of him and mention various things that he wanted to research before asking for an astronomical figure.
Spanner was easy to convince, but that wasn't the case with Verde. If he wanted more money, it would take more than that to refuse him. If Giotto did not give him what he wanted, he would throw a tantrum and trouble the whole Family!
Seeing that his boss had picked up his walking pace in that instant, Spanner shrugged helplessly and continued his Moska research. For now, he had enough money
Of course, it was best if his boss could give him more money, but it should be alright even if he didn't.
Walking further inside, after passing through a special passage, the research room he entered was Verde's exclusive research room. To be precise, the four surrounding research rooms all belonged to him alone, and there was no one to help him.
It was not that they were short on personnel but because Verde did not need anyone to help him in the first place. Occasionally, Shoichi Irie would come to help him because an average person could not keep up with Verde's extraordinary intelligence. They would merely drag him down instead of helping him.
After entering the room, Giotto saw Verde sitting on a chair, dressed in a white coat, completely immersed in his job. Seven boxes of different colors were placed on the desk beside him. These seven boxes were all engraved with Vongola Family's emblem, and the seven colors matched the seven colors of Dying Will Flame.
It was because these seven boxes were Vongola Box Weapons that Verde was researching and developing. As Box Weapons that were specifically developed for Giotto and his Guardians, they would drastically increase Giotto and the others' strength.
"Boss? Since the establishment of the technical department, it seems that this is the first time you have come to visit."
Verde did not stop working even when Giotto entered. For him, there was nothing more important than research. "Let me think about it. You should be here for the Dying Will Ring, right? If you are, you need to wait for me for a while. After I finish this one, I will take you to see the completed Dying Will Ring."
"No problem, but these seven boxes in front of me are more interesting." Giotto did not mind that Verde finished his work first. He looked straight at the seven Vongola Box Weapons.
"Those are only the prototype. It will take some time to complete it. Moreover, we're short on money. It will be ideal if I can get another ten billion Belly. Of course, this is only the beginning. According to my recent calculation, if you want the ideal Vongola Box Weapons, I'll at least need 30 billion Belly!"
