"I'm going to the bridal chamber. Do you want to come with me?"
Rifan joked as he glanced at Gion, immediately withdrawing his hand from Gion's embrace.
Zombie viruses were too sensitive. He didn't intend to let the Marines know that he was working on this stuff.
If he really let the Marines know, Rifan felt that the Five Elders might prefer to make him an exclusive researcher of the World Government rather than make him a Shichibukai.
Rifan's words made the smile on Gion's face freeze. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. And Hina, just about to say something, was also blocked by Rifan's next words.
"Nojiko, Robin, please help me entertain Miss Gion and Miss Hina."
Not far away, Robin and Nojiko heard the words, naturally walking over immediately, and stopped Gion and Hina with smiles on their faces.
Seeing such a situation, Gion had no choice but to give up. After all, with her current state, there was no way to break through the interception of Robin and Nojiko. The man said he was going to the bridal chamber, but he didn't bring Robin and Nojiko with him.
"That is to say, is he lying?"
However, just when Gion thought so in her heart, Kalifa quickly walked past Gion with a stack of documents and followed behind Rifan.
"That is to say, Rifan is looking for Kalifa this time?"
"This woman is the female agent of CP9 he saved."
"Sure enough, it's for that kind of thing."
Gion looked at Rifan and Kalifa who were walking side by side, exchanging something while walking, and thought to herself.
"Kalifa, use your Bubble Fruit ability to clean the surrounding area first. Then create an absolutely clean environment for me that won't allow viruses to leak."
After Rifan came to a room resembling a research facility, he said to Kalifa behind him.
"Yes, boss," Kalifa nodded slightly and immediately exerted the power of Bubble Fruit, causing soap bubbles to fill the room. Soon, the entire room became brand new.
Seeing this, Rifan nodded in satisfaction and walked over to the container containing the zombie virus isolated by Chopper using tens of thousands of recruits. Of course, the virus content in tens of thousands of Marine soldiers was quite high, and there was no way to hold it in a container that was too small. Therefore, the zombie virus contained in the container in the room at this moment had been completely purified. Rifan even felt that only one drop was needed to turn the huge Sea Kings into zombie beasts.
Next to the zombie virus container was another container prepared by Chopper, intended for making potions that could help him achieve multi-stage changing blue waves. This was also the material discussed by Rifan and Chopper that could be used to experimentally manufacture G virus strengthening agents in batches.
"Kalifa, let's get started."
"I will conduct research, and you will record relevant data for me," Rifan said as he picked up a white coat and put it on. After stretching, he planned to start researching the possibility of mass-manufacturing G virus strengthening agents even in the absence of zombie viruses.
"No problem, Boss," Kalifa pushed her glasses and approached Rifan with the record board. However, upon seeing the purple zombie virus liquid in the container, painful memories of Golden Lion attacking Enies Lobby with zombies flooded her mind, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably in an instant.
"Kalifa, what's wrong with you?" Rifan noticed Kalifa's strangeness and immediately turned to look at her with concern.
"I… I'm all right, Captain Rifan. I just thought about Golden Lion attacking Enies Lobby," Kalifa took a deep breath, trying to calm down her unrest, and said to Rifan. "It's over, Kalifa, at least Rob Lucci is alive. And there is a possibility of Blueno being resurrected, isn't it?" Rifan walked to Kalifa's side, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her.
"I understand, Captain Rifan," Kalifa gave Rifan a rare smile, and after a while, she asked curiously, "Captain Rifan, are you really not going to use these viruses to create zombies like Golden Lion?"
"You also saw the situation in Enies Lobby. If you can master the power of this virus, your power will become even greater. Although the G virus strengthening agent is an excellent enhancer, it may not be able to be developed. It should be safer to use the zombie virus."
Rifan shook his head and said seriously, "Indeed, having a zombie virus can indeed bring some benefits. However, if I really create a zombie crisis like Golden Lion, the strong will not be affected, but the weak and ordinary people are most likely to be affected. Maybe one day, this world will become a world full of zombies. I don't want to see that day appear. Compared to using the zombie virus, I prefer to be able to create a G virus strengthening potion that can strengthen my crew's body. Besides, my secretary is deeply affected by the tragedy caused by the zombie virus. I don't want you to see that scene of purgatory on earth again. Even if there is no way to develop a method to mass-produce G virus strengthening agents in the end, I will not use the zombie virus to create a biohazard."
After Rifan finished speaking, he gave Kalifa a big smile.
"Thank you, Captain Rifan," Kalifa said, pursing her lips and feeling touched in her heart.
As Rifan said.
She had felt the despair the zombie virus brought, and she really didn't want to see any more zombies appearing in her heart.
It would only bring out the sadness in her heart.
"Captain Rifan, if you succeed in finding a way to mass-produce the G-virus strengthening potion, what do you plan to use it for?"
"Are you planning to use it to develop your own power?"
After Kalifa's mood stabilised, she asked Rifan curiously.
"Well, maybe it can be used to trade with a certain force in the future."
"It can also be used to help allies."
"As for developing my own power, it's not impossible."
"Maybe I will form a country in the future."
"Then let everyone from the Black Pearl Pirates be ministers~"
"Afterwards, use the G virus strengthen potion to build an extremely powerful army, haha."
Rifan couldn't help laughing when he thought of Munch-Munch Fruit's previous user Wapol who used the memory alloy to establish a brand new country, and even became a member of the World Government.
Of course, Rifan naturally does not have the idea of becoming a member of the World Government.
You must know that becoming a member of the World government requires paying a large amount of money to Celestial Dragons as heavenly gold.
As for Rifan himself, he has no idea of paying funds to a group of pigs.
Even if a country is really to be established in the future.
Rifan also prefers to set up a pirate kingdom like the big-mom pirates.
"Speaking of which, after the establishment of a country, I need a good person who coordinates internal affairs."
"As for this expert, it would be even better if it were my wife."
"After all, in this way, as a king, I will be at ease."
"Kalifa, your ability to coordinate internal customers is good."
"If I really establish a country in the future, you might as well be my queen~"
The corner of Rifan's mouth turned up, and he looked at Kalifa with interest.
"For the queen, let Nojiko take over."
"After all, she is the best enough to satisfy your various desires."
Kalifa pushed the glasses and said.
"I was rejected, it's really sad."
"Forget it, let's continue our work at hand."
Rifan patted Kalifa on the shoulder with a smile, and walked back to his post.
Seeing this, Kalifa stepped forward quickly, with a pen in her hand ready to record and calculate for Rifan at any time.
"First of all, try to fuse the zombie virus with a rumble ball and other medicinal materials."
Rifan took out the materials and planned to use Munch-Munch Fruit to synthesise them tentatively.
But just when he was about to swallow it.
The broadcast room came to his mind.
'Research on zombie viruses cannot be seen by the real world, especially by people from the umbrella company.'
Rifan thought in his heart, turning his head to look at Kalifa.
"What's the matter, Captain Rifan?"
Kalifa tilted her head and looked at Rifan with some doubts.
"That's right, Kalifa."
Rifan smiled, put his head close to Kalifa's ear and whispered something.
"Captain Rifan, you are harassing me."
A ray of light flashed on Kalifa's lens, and said quietly.
"Don't say that, I'll just take a look, and there won't be a piece of meat missing."
"You also said it before, it's okay to just watch right?"
Rifan smiled and said.
"That's true, but what's the reason? Why do I need to do something like that."
As Kalifa said that, she put the recording board aside and unbuttoned her clothes.
Soon, Kalifa took off her coat, leaving only silk and black silk.
In an instant, the live screen in the live broadcast room was plunged into darkness.
—•—|Rifan Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—
[Eagle Audience: Damn Rifan, this guy did it on purpose. He actually blacked out the live broadcast room again!]
[Eagle Audience: Bastard, we can see the valuable research, but this guy wants to keep it private!]
[Why can't the live broadcast room be blacked out? The two people upstairs are from the Umbrella Company, right? That means you want to reproduce the zombie virus on Blue Star through Brother Rifan research, right? You animal!]
[Eagle Audience: How come? What we want to see is the G virus strengthening potion, which can benefit the world!]
[Eagle Audience: That's right! Strongly condemn Rifan! The G virus strengthening potion can aid global research and help humans combat monsters from the abyss. Rifan should share the research!]
[Hehe, I don't believe a word of these people. Brother Rifan can use the power of the Devil Fruit to create G virus strengthening potions, while these guys can make a zombie.]
[That's right. I don't want to wake up one morning and have to face not only the threat of monsters from the abyss but also the threat of a biochemical crisis!]
[Strongly support Brother Rifan in blocking the live broadcast room during research! Never let the people from the Umbrella Company see it! Those bastards probably have research materials from the late William Birkin. If they watch Brother Rifan research, who knows what they might create!]
[Eagle Audience: Bastard! We've all said that we want to make the G virus strengthening potion for the benefit of mankind!]
[Hehe, for the benefit of mankind? How shameful of you all to dare to say such things.]
[Don't pay attention to them. Let's think about what will happen after Brother Rifan research is successful.]
[If Brother Rifan succeeds, he may indeed be able to build a powerful country as he mentioned.]
[If that's the case, the crew of the Black Pearl Pirates will be the core fighting force, and others will become formidable soldiers. Tsk tsk, it's quite emotional to think about.]

"As the saying goes, when a man and a woman match, fieldwork will not be tiring."
"Kalifa, research is quite a job."
"If I continue to study like this, I will be quite tired."
"If I can see such beautiful scenery like you on the way, I can feel less tired."
Rifan did not reveal what had happened in the live broadcast room but came up with a random excuse.
Having said that, he took a glance at Kalifa's adrenaline-fueled outfit in front of him.
Rifan couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.
"Moreover, looking at you like this, I can't help but feel my heart beating faster, and I can't wait to find Robin and Nojiko."
"In this way, I will do my best to speed up the research."
"The time to finally get the results will be greatly shortened."
"Speaking of which, Kalifa, you really like black clothes."
"Whether it is inside or outside, you dress mainly in black."
"How about changing to white as the primary colour at some point?"
"According to your features, you would certainly look quite beautiful in a white-based dress, like white silk."
After confirming that the live broadcast room had gone black, Rifan turned around with a smile and began the experiment.
"Does Captain Rifan think I'm not pretty enough in black?"
Kalifa picked up the slate again and asked.
"No, that's not what I mean. I just think that if you change your style once in a while, it might make people's eyes shine," Rifan said with a smile.
He did remember that in the original book, when Kalifa reappeared two years later, she was wearing white as the primary colour.
"Since the boss has said so, as a secretary, I will naturally follow suit," Kalifa shook her head, raised her hand, and wrote on the recording board.
Meanwhile, on the other side,
On the sea, two Marine warships were sailing side by side in the direction of Naval Headquarters.
Tsuru stood at the stern of the ship and only looked away after realising that she could no longer see the capital of the Water 7.
Then she picked up the den-den mushi from her bosom and dialed the number of Naval Headquarters, Sengoku.
"This is Sengoku, is that you, Tsuru?"
"It's me, Sengoku. Rifan and his team have completed the agreement."
"Really, that's great! Are the infected people all right?"
"Except for being too weak, their bodies are already normal. After a period of rest, they should be able to recover."
"This is really good news, so the Marines won't have to suffer any more losses."
"Sengoku, there is one more thing I need to report to you."
"Tsuru, do you have any information about Rifan?"
"That's right!"
Tsuru looked serious and said to the den-den mushi very earnestly:
"Sengoku, any member of the Black Pearl Pirates' crew should not be underestimated, and our evaluation of them is far from good!"
