Chapter 254 Vampire Fruit "It is very difficult. If you rashly perform gene editing on an adult whose physical condition is already stable, it is likely to lead to a breakdown of both the gene and the body. The embryo is chosen because the baby is not yet conscious during the embryonic stage, but if you perform gene editing on an adult, Gene editing will inevitably lead to changes in genes throughout the body, especially in the brain. Once brain cells are changed, the consequences are completely unknown." Ming Jing fell silent. Genetic modification can be carried out in the pirate world, but there are technical barriers that cannot be overcome. The brain is the most mysterious place in human beings, and any change that occurs will have an immeasurable impact. "What about Vegapunk? Does he have the ability to solve this problem?" "Vegapunk? Vegapunk...that guy...no! What even I, Caesar, can't do! How could he, Vegapunk, do it! I am the number one scientist in the world!" Caesar suddenly said crazily, even showing some signs of breaking free from the illusion. Ming Jing simply lifted the illusion because he had already got what he wanted to know. Vegapunk may really have the ability to solve this problem, but the key is that the World Government will never let Vegapunk reach other people.
Grab Vegapunk? This is not that easy. If you want to catch this guy, it is impossible without the strength of the general Yonko level. Even if you have it, you may not be able to do it, and you have to find a way to withstand the revenge of the world government afterwards. "In this case, you will be of no use to me, Caesar." Ming Jing sat back down. When Caesar regained consciousness, he looked at Ming Jing as if he was seeing a demon. "Hypnotize, hypnotize? You can actually do this?" Caesar secretly said something disgusting, he just felt that this Jiguo Yuanyi was really hard to guard against. In the world of pirates, there are still some masters of hypnosis, such as Zangao and others in the East China Sea. Caesar recognized Ming Jing's illusion as hypnosis. "Next, I will give you a chance to live. Whether you can grasp it or not depends on you." Ming Jing stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Caesar. A few drops of cold sweat ran down Caesar's forehead. "Whatever you want to do, I promise to do it!" "Very good. According to my investigation, the town in front of me contains a rare animal-type devil fruit of the phantom species, and you..." Ming Jing slapped Tian Zhiyu on the table, startling Caesar. "Since you are a colleague of Vegapunk, you should also know how to make weapons take Devil Fruit, right?" "Feeding" fruits to weapons is the best of both worlds solution that Mingjing can think of. This not only avoids the shortcomings of being afraid of sea water and seastones after taking the Devil Fruit, but also increases one's own strength. Even if the weapon comes into contact with sea water and sea tower stones, it will only change back to its original form, and its lower limit of combat power can still be guaranteed. "I understand! Of course I understand!"
Caesar stood at attention and saluted.
…… Adoah had just been pleasantly surprised by Caesar's departure. Unexpectedly, less than an hour had passed before Caesar reappeared in front of him. Along with it, there was also a big shot she had just seen in the newspaper today. The new king of the Shichibukai, a great swordsman recognized by the vice-admiral of the navy, the "Flame Sword" succeeds the country's destiny! And judging from Caesar's appearance, he seems to have been with them for a while? Didn't he just go to sea? So why did they come to Torrance?
Adoya hid his doubts in his heart, still showing a sweet smile on his face, and asked the guests what they needed. "I need a fruit." Ming Jing sat firmly on the table, drinking wine and said to Yadoya. "Fruits? There are plenty of them. The store has a variety of fruits that are suitable for the current season, as well as specialties from Torrance Town. We will definitely satisfy our customers." "You know what I'm talking about." Ming Jing looked at Yadoya, and the aura on his body made him feel suffocated. Redfield found the vampire fruit here, and the first one he sucked was Adoya. It was no accident that he returned to his youth. The town of Torrance, which was almost abandoned at first, was redeveloped under the leadership of this woman. It was not like an accident that she would be the first to come here. Ming Jing believed that this woman must know something, so she had already set out to search for the vampire fruit. However, due to her lack of ability, she was never able to find it. Although the hotel owner had always been on Luffy's side in the original incident, Ming Jing was more willing to believe that she specifically planned to use the power of the Straw Hat Pirates to deal with Luffy because she knew about Redfield's arrival. Defield. "Hey! Adoah, if you have something to say, just say it. This guy is good at hypnosis. He only needs to glare at you and you will have to tell the truth obediently!" Caesar put his mouth to Adoah said in his ear, looking very afraid of the mirror. Adoya was going crazy. If it weren't for you, how would Ji Guoyuan and his gang come here?
Caesar was more active than anyone else at this time. Only by helping Jikun Enichi gain the power of the Devil Fruit for his weapons can Caesar survive, and before that, he must first find the Devil Fruit. "Seeing as you haven't done anything bad and have developed the town of Torrance, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can help us find the fruits, the gold will be yours." Ming Jing opened a box and pushed it in front of Adoya. Inside the box, there are rows of gold bars neatly arranged. Enelu hesitated to speak. These gold bars were all brought from the empty island! It was all his originally!
Adoya seemed hesitant. "This……" "You should know that your hesitation is of no use except wasting time. You have been here for so many years and still cannot find what you want, which is enough to show your lack of ability. If you wait in vain, you will only waste more time. Giving things to me and you taking away the gold is actually the choice that maximizes benefits and minimizes risks for you, isn't it?" Ming Jing's voice spoke eloquently, and the sound of fingers tapping on the table made Yadoya feel a little upset. It was still an illusion, but Ming Jing didn't use his eyes to perform it this time.
Many years ago, Uchiha taught him a technique of using his fingers to perform genjutsu. This was because during battle, the enemy would always subconsciously avoid the sight of the Sharingan to prevent being controlled by genjutsu. At this time, it is very useful to be able to use other means to perform illusions. And with Ming Jing's current illusion skills, it is not difficult to use the sound of fingers tapping on the table to use illusion to influence a person who is not very strong and guide his subconscious judgment. "You are pirates. How would I know if you would go back on your word after helping you?" Yadoya lowered his head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to the mirror. Seeing her reaction, Ming Jing suddenly laughed. This means that she has agreed in her heart. "We haven't done anything bad since we went to sea, and now we are members of the Shichibukai recognized by the World Government. Naturally, we don't bother to do that kind of thing. If you agree, you can take the gold now and hide it somewhere only you know. corner and come back to us later. But if you want to take advantage of this opportunity to make money and run away, or do some other operations, I will personally chase you to the ends of the earth, capture you, and put you in a trough with a boar filled with aphrodisiacs …” "Okay, no more threats and inducements!" Adoya slapped the table and said. "Then do you agree or disagree?" "Twice the amount of gold!" "make a deal!" After Yadoya hid the gold, he returned to the hotel as promised and took Ming Jing and others to a cathedral. "It's here!" Adoah pointed to the cathedral and said. "This church was built a hundred years ago by my great-grandfather for a group of famous pirates at that time. It is said that the group of pirates once snatched a rare Devil Fruit, but because all the members on the ship at that time were People with abilities cannot take it, so they decided to build a place to protect the fruit and wait until there is a new crew or someone is willing to buy the fruit before selling it." "When the church was built, my great-grandfather was also killed by that group of pirates. But not long after that, this group of pirates was defeated by another group of pirates, and there was no whereabouts." "The pirates killed my great-grandfather to prevent the news of this fruit and other treasures from being leaked, but they did not expect that my great-grandfather kept the design of the church and the truth, which was inherited by my grandfather. .” Having said this, Adoa took out a yellowed parchment scroll. "But the strange thing is that the design of this blueprint is completely different from the decorations in the church. My grandfather searched for it for three years and still couldn't find it." "So, he spread the news that the treasure left by the pirates was hidden in Torrance Town, so he attracted a large number of people to Torrance Town in order to use the power of those people to find it. That treasure.” Ming Jing and others now understood where the legend of the mysterious treasure in Torrance Town came from. "But in the end, I still found nothing. When my father came, although he knew about the treasure, he had no idea of looking for it, because my grandfather searched all his life and never found it. He didn't want to spend time on such illusory things. Regarding the incident, after he told me about it when I was twelve years old, I chose to go out to sea to explore and never came back." Sabo and Kuina were fascinated by the story, but Caesar, Kerla, and Robin Enero had already formed a circle, looking at the church design. "It seems a little different? But don't worry, I am the world's number one scientist with the ability to destroy the world. With my high IQ, I can solve this mystery in minutes!" Caesar said confidently.
