Chapter 133 The Existence of Eye Power
-
Naval Science Force Base, Punk Hazard.
Vegapunk stared at the row of scarlet eyes in the petri dish in front of him, scratching the back of his sparse hair.
"How could this be... It was replicated just because there was blood, but ordinary people can't adapt to it..."
"This is so strange! What seems like a simple gene sequence is actually more difficult to rewrite than a Devil Fruit!"
"Is it locked up by something...?"
……
Just as he was deep in thought, Sentomaru's voice came from the doorway.
"Uncle Vegapunk! Someone's looking for you. I'm the world's most discreet man, I didn't tell him you were here!"
……
Vegapunk suddenly noticed the unusual fluctuations in the instrument, looked up, and...
Dozens of Sharingan eyes in the petri dish turned to him at once, a sight that startled him so much that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Allen bent down and met Vegapunk's gaze as he fell, then looked at the giant petri dish.
……
"You did a good job, Vegapunk."
-
Those eyes seemed to possess their own life force, radiating an invisible and colorless power fluctuation that only Allen could see.
Vegapunk did indeed replicate the Sharingan, and each one had three tomoe, with eye power comparable to Allen's back then.
He can create replicas of the Fish-Fish Fruit using Kaido's bloodline factor, only the color is different. It's even easier to create Sharingan using Allen's bloodline factor.
However, unlike Devil Fruits that anyone can eat, using the Sharingan requires a power that does not exist in this world: chakra.
……
To give an analogy, both the Sharingan and Devil Fruits are vehicles that need to be driven. Devil Fruits can run as long as 'physical strength' is used as fuel, while the Sharingan needs 'chakra oil' of higher purity to move.
Vegapunk possesses cutting-edge technology, but he lacks the ability to traverse the world.
If he can generate chakra without any clues, then he's even more awesome than the Sage of Six Paths.
……
……
"The activity has increased significantly..." Vegapunk glanced at the instrument data and turned to look at Allen.
"Although I don't know why, these eyes definitely need a special energy source to operate."
Allen nodded. There was no point in lying to a smart guy like Vegapunk: "Well, I call it eye power."
"Eye power... It's not Haki, it's not a Devil Fruit ability, it's like arm strength, a power unique to the eyes... How amazing."
Vegapunk leaned back against the control panel, his massive head reclining on the chair: "The Five Elders ordered me to create clones of you to use these eyes."
"But I feel that without deciphering that unknown... without deciphering the special power of the eye, even creating clones wouldn't be of much use."
"If we simply want the fighting power to maintain order on the seas, I think it would be better to continue with the original Shichibukai humanoid weapon plan."
……
Allen paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You can't just tell me something like this so casually?"
Vegapunk waved his hand dismissively: "It doesn't matter. Everyone has the right to know about technological advancements... and the same goes for history."
Allen pretended not to hear Vegapunk's deliberately lowered voice and rested his palm on the glass wall of the petri dish.
Two of them were drawn away by an unseen force, detached from the petri dish, and landed in Allen's palm.
Allen carefully examined them and realized that if it were more than two years ago, the quality of these two eyes would have been comparable to his own.
Things are different now...
This level of power can only be used to consume Izanagi's resources.
……
It's not bad, but not enough.
Allen reached out and touched the Sharingan in the petri dish, his palm releasing fluorescent blue chakra that seeped into the eyeball.
This energy...
Vegapunk's pupils contracted sharply. His lifelong dream was to create a world where energy could be shared freely, and he was dedicated to the development of "infinite energy."
In that instant, he keenly sensed a possibility...
……
After infusing the Sharingan into the petri dish with chakra, Allen turned his head and smiled faintly, "That's enough. You can tell the Five Elders that you've achieved a technological breakthrough. Anyway, with their knowledge, they won't be able to tell."
"Even ordinary people can use the Sharingan, but there's one thing to be careful about: the eyes will go blind with continued use."
To keep the world government from investing money, they need to be made into consumables; they also need to be given a little something in return.
……
Vegapunk was silent for a moment, then licked his dry lips with his long tongue: "Now it's my turn to ask you..."
"Mr. Allen, are you just going to casually show me such amazing power?!"
shared!
Vegapunk was absolutely certain that the blue power possessed a shared characteristic!
Energy that can be freely transferred between people...
Isn't this the ultimate mystery I've been searching for?
……
Allen looked at Vegapunk, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.
"I trust Mr. Vegapunk completely..."
"But you will become untrustworthy because of 'desire,' so I have to put a shackle on you. Please forgive me."
……
Vegapunk stared blankly as the three tomoe in Allen's eyes spun and connected.
A flash of crimson light appeared in the laboratory, and the three tomoe in Vegapunk's eyes faded.
-
-
Half an hour later, Allen walked out, his breathing slightly rapid.
Vegapunk's innate genius, coupled with the fact that he ate the "Brain-Brain Fruit," resulted in an astonishing amount of information stored in his brain.
Later on, it even required separating the brain to create a giant warehouse.
Because I am too busy with multiple research projects, I have created six clones representing my own personality.
York, who represents "desire," is the culprit that led to his death.
……
Allen couldn't possibly use his Sharingan to forcibly control Vegapunk; he wasn't a combatant, and a scientist whose mind was controlled wouldn't be of any use.
What he did was plant a suggestion in Vegapunk's mind, without mentioning Allen's special nature to anyone, so that even he himself wouldn't be aware of it.
If Allen didn't have his current eyes, he wouldn't be able to do this at all.
……
Honestly... It's more tiring than fighting a powerful enemy for days and nights. I'm definitely not suited for delicate work.
……
At the doorway, Dol looked at Allen, who was walking out supporting his back, with a strange expression.
She had witnessed similar actions several times when she apprehended pirates from the red-light district.
"Is cooperating with the experiment...that tiring?"
It's an experiment, right? There aren't any pretty lab beauties in there, are there?
……
"Yeah, I had a lot of blood drawn. Write me a report later; I need to ask Sengoku for funding."
Ah... so it's a blood test...
Dol clenched his fist and snorted, "That Vegapunk, does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he's the head of the science class?! He doesn't consider the physical condition of others at all!"
"I'll impeach him when I get back!"
……
……
Even with Allen's thick skin, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Um... let's forget about impeachment, we can make up for it with a couple of meals."
-
"Where do we go next? Do we have to go back to headquarters for a report?"
Dol followed Allen aboard the ship and asked.
Stretching his shoulders and neck, Allen smiled faintly: "I have no interest in listening to their boring meetings about the duties of the Navy..."
"Let's go, let's go hunt down Redhead!"
