Chapter 194 Sand-Sand Fruit Serum (Subscription Request)
It finally rained in Alabasta after a year of drought. Although Alabasta no longer had the problem of drought and sandstorms after the sand crocodiles were solved, in order to quickly stabilize the people's hearts, Cobra still gritted his teeth and asked Kahn to make a few more rains in Alabasta.
Vivi overheard that her father was going to ask Kahn to make a few more rains, so she came to Kahn in advance, sincerely hoping that Kahn would be cheaper.
Kahn agreed immediately, and then signed a work contract with Vivi, hiring her as a princess to act as an overseer. He was going to make a major renovation of the Rainland City. At that time, in addition to the people sent by Cobra, Kahn himself might have to hire a group of civilians, and Princess Vivi would be the best overseer.
After signing the contract, Kahn waited for Cobra to come to his door, and reluctantly gave him a discount of three million Baileys.
The reason that troubled the people of Alabasta was the lack of water. It had to be admitted that Cobra was a good king who really cared about his people. Crocodile was a little stupid. If he had known Cobra's character and directly threatened Cobra with the safety of his people, the probability of him getting Pluto would be greater than the probability of him overthrowing and seizing Alabasta.
"Your Majesty, this light rain may last for another day. As long as we follow Mr. Pent's advice, Alabasta will no longer be at risk of drought. Your Majesty, are you still looking at those transaction lists?"
Ikalem saw Cobra holding the parchment scroll in a daze, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and shook it hard to bring Cobra back to his senses.
"Ah, Ikarem, you're here!"
Ikarem shouted angrily to Cobra, "I've finished reporting!"
"Hahaha, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just thinking about the things above. If all those guns are distributed to the Kingdom Guard, then the people of Alabasta will never be afraid of pirates' harassment again."
Ikarem poured cold water on him after hearing this and said, "Don't think about it, Your Majesty, Alabasta can't afford it, even if the royal palace budget is cut."
Cobra knocked Ikarem on the head with a knife and said, "Don't burst other people's dreams casually, bastard!"
However, Ikarem still agreed with Cobra's words. With that kind of powerful guns, three guards who are proficient in using assault rifles can threaten Bell and Gaga, and Alabasta has 600,000 standing troops.
Protecting the people has always been what Cobra has been working hard to do. After seeing the power of Kahn's guns, Cobra had to say that he was very excited. One hundred people can do a hail of bullets, and one hundred rocket launchers can destroy a large pirate ship of 70 meters.
"It's useless to think about other things, Your Majesty. Now there is no threat from Baroque Studios, so we can just develop slowly in the future."
Ikarem persuaded, but he asked worriedly: "But Your Majesty, that Mr. Pent..."
"Are you going to ask if he will be the next Crocodile, Ikarem."
As if knowing what Ikarem wanted to ask, Cobra spoke in advance: "Don't worry, Ikarem, he doesn't seem to have any other shortcomings except greed for money; he doesn't even care about Alabasta's most precious secrets, what else in Alabasta can attract Mr. Pent?"
"That's true, but Your Majesty, Alabasta is so poor, how can you sleep?"
"You curly-haired bastard, are you expressing your dissatisfaction with the king!?"
"You said yourself that Alabasta is poor, why don't you work hard to make the country rich!"
Ikarem and Cobra started fighting in the palace. The guards next to them were used to it. Sometimes Cobra would fight with street hooligans.
"Boss, everyone has been arranged. Some people may not be used to it. After all, they did so many crimes before, but now they have to do the right things."
Nico Robin reported to Kahn about the Chamber of Commerce. Most of the people in the original Baroque Works were violent and could do nothing but commit crimes, so Nico Robin used them to set up an intelligence department and a money-making department.
Specifically targeting pirates!
Kahn is not a good person, but he still chooses the objects to make profits; in the world of pirates, civilians are the lowest existence, and using violence against civilians, the money taken is not equal to the effort.
Pirates and nobles should be his targets, one uses violence, and the other uses legal profiteering.
As for civilians, the civilians in the world of pirates really don't have much money. The nobles and kings scrape over and over again. After accumulating a little, they may run into pirates and scrape again.
"It doesn't matter. If there is no one, who would use this bunch of rubbish? If anyone plans to defect, please inform me. I just need a lot of test subjects."
Kahn said to Nico Robin while fiddling with the experimental equipment. He is now conducting two studies; the first is whether the recovery potion and super soldier serum are useful to the people in the pirate world, and the second is to try to extract the devil fruit ability from Crocodile.
If successful, Crocodile's head will be sent to exchange for the bounty.
Whether it is to set up an intelligence department or to purchase devil fruits and other supplies, a large amount of Bailey is needed, and Kahn needs Nico Robin to be loyal to him, so he has to give her some benefits appropriately.
"Robin, you can change your face to a fixed one, and then go to King Cobra to ask for a fixed identity. Nefertari's distant relative or civilian, as long as you have Cobra as your identity certificate, you can go to the Navy Headquarters to play openly.
The most important thing is that you can talk to King Cobra privately about the historical text. As long as you state your identity and purpose and do not spy on Hades, King Cobra should agree to your request. If it doesn't work, you can give him a viewing fee?" Kahn took out a parchment scroll and handed it to Nico Robin, and continued to say to her: "I will give you an amount of 170 million Baileys, and King Cobra should agree to your request."
"Is it that simple?"
Nico Robin looked unbelievable. She had paid so much for the historical text, but it seemed nothing to Kahn.
"What's so difficult? You are not after the ancient weapons, and you will not threaten Alabasta. Cobra only needs a reason, and you can give him this reason."
After Kahn finished speaking, he was ready to start the first experiment, so he waved his hand and drove Robin out.
But before she left, Kahn said something that made her feel itchy: "If you perform well, it's not impossible to tell you the whereabouts of a few historical texts, but the premise is performance."
In the first month, there was the cooperation of the Imperius Curse, so Crocodile was very cooperative. He lay on the experimental bed and did whatever he was told to do, and even took the initiative to draw blood and cut flesh for Kahn to study.
A month later, Kahn cast another Imperius Curse on Crocodile, but he could feel that Crocodile's resistance was slowly getting stronger.
Some progress in the pirate world is completely unreasonable. Rayleigh taught Luffy for a year and a half, but he was not as good as Kaido with a few sticks. Kahn was a little worried that if he used the Imperius Curse on Crocodile too much, it would help him awaken his Observation Haki.
However, Crocodile, whose Devil Fruit ability was suppressed, would be useless even if he awakened his Observation Haki.
More than four months of research have made Kahn make considerable progress in understanding Devil Fruit users. He is also a biology major, and has personally participated in many research projects. In the end, he asked Red Queen to record all the research data.
Whenever he arrives at a new place, Red Queen's supercomputer and corresponding research and testing equipment are must-have items for Kahn. The Red Queen on him has collected data from three worlds, and its calculation ability is quite powerful.
It is precisely because of Red Queen's data accumulation that Kahn can make such rapid progress in two months.
"The tampered gene chain can also be called bloodline factor here. The devil fruit is equivalent to making a person's gene mutate, but it is not like completely changing a person's genes. It is more like putting a chain mail on the genes, so that the genes of the person who takes the devil fruit can 'wear the chain mail' to use the power of the fruit."
Kahn saw the results of the analysis by Red Queen. He didn't expect that the devil fruit would be like this. It is almost equivalent to an unconscious symbiont; and after the death of the fruit user, the power of the devil fruit will slowly spread from the corpse, and then re-condense somewhere. It
is really similar to a symbiont.
In addition to giving the user the ability, the bloodline factor of the devil fruit also has a 'shell' that is afraid of seawater. As long as it is affected by certain factors in the seastone, the bloodline factor of the devil fruit will be dispersed and can no longer be aggregated.
In this way, the power of the devil fruit cannot be used, and people with poor health will also be affected by the bloodline factor of the devil fruit.
"Fortunately, the bad part of the bloodline factor can be separated, so that the defect of the devil fruit ability user who is afraid of seawater and seastone can be eliminated. The only bad thing is that the blood of the devil fruit ability user is needed to barely extract a portion of sand-sand fruit serum."
Kahn saw the plan and analysis report given by the Red Queen, and said to Crocodile a little embarrassedly: "You can understand me, Sand Crocodile, after all, you are adhering to the concept of the survival of the fittest and the success or failure of the winner. It's hard for you to pretend for three days."
Hearing the last sentence, Crocodile knew that he had been discovered by Kahn a long time ago, so he gritted his teeth and yelled angrily: "You bastard destroyed my"
Bang!
Before Crocodile finished his appeal, he was knocked unconscious by a coma spell, and then was sent to the test bench by Kahn to draw blood.
This experiment has only a 68% success rate in the calculation of the Red Queen. If the sand-sand fruit serum extraction fails, then we can only wait for a few years for the sand-sand fruit to be reborn somewhere else.
Kahn can only find other devil fruit ability users to continue the experiment.
Boom, sizzle~
The sound of the machine starting up was getting louder and louder, and the light in the laboratory was gradually getting stronger. Kahn stared at the process of separating the bloodline factor of the devil fruit, and then when the progress reached 100%, the extremely strong cold air in the laboratory instantly released to cool the machine.
"Success!"
Kahn looked at the test results with some excitement, and immediately went to the separation equipment and took the prepared sand-sand fruit serum in his hand to look at it; the azure blue liquid, as long as it is injected into the body, can obtain the ability of the sand-sand fruit, and is not afraid of seawater and seastone.
The success of this serum is mainly due to the contribution of Red Queen, and Crocodile, who has long been a mummy, also made a great contribution.
