Chapter 416: The Pirate Flag is Calling
Dr. Vegapunk's research on bloodline factors is so powerful that you can get a rough idea of it by looking at his former colleagues.
Vinsmoke Judge.
Judge used the bloodline factor technology to mass-produce different types of androids as suicide squad soldiers, which allowed him to wage wars at a much lower cost than normal. He easily spread the terrifying reputation of the Germa Kingdom in the North Sea, and the Vinsmoke Family was the top warmongerer in the North Sea. On the other hand, he also used the bloodline factor technology to cultivate five superhuman children.
The eldest daughter Reiju and the quadruplets Iji, Niji, Sanji, and Yuji, except Sanji, each of the children has indestructible bones and flesh like steel since childhood, and infinite strength. In addition, Reiju's poison (Note: Reiju's devil fruit is unknown, and it cannot be confirmed whether the poison ability comes from the fruit ability. In addition, her wings are actually the cloak of the battle suit, not the fruit ability), Iji's sparks, Niji's electric shock, Yuji's super-standard brute force... and we all know that Sanji, who will have the "Devil Wind Kick" trick that burns flames in the future, each child has more or less possessed super powers similar to the devil fruit without being a devil fruit user.
But in fact...the most terrifying application of Judge's bloodline factor technology is not these.
Based on the modification of the bloodline factor, Judge eliminated the negative emotions such as "fear" that his children should have as human beings.
It's not some kind of flag-like rhetoric, but he has truly lost negative emotions such as fear... Even if he is about to be killed at the aunt's party, he is not afraid at all, and is even laughing.
In addition, just like the "subconscious implant" in Inception, Judge implanted a "mental stamp" of "unable to disobey their father's orders" in his children (except Sanji) at the bloodline factor level.
Even though the eldest daughter, Reiju, does not agree with her father's ruthless style, she has no intention of directly resisting him.
Through bloodline factors, the transformation of human thinking is achieved. This technology is undoubtedly very terrifying.
In the comics, Vegapunk's achievements in bloodline factor technology include artificial devil fruits. Unlike the defective ones made by Caesar, the devil fruits made by Dr. Vegapunk are almost indistinguishable from the real ones, and the effects are no different from normal animal-type devil fruits. Another is to "eat" devil fruits in weapons... In the comics, the sword of CP9 Chief Spandam in the Judicial Island chapter is the "Elephant Sword" that has eaten the Elephant-Elephant Fruit! This is a technology that gives life to dead objects. It is hard to imagine how far Vegapunk has come in the research of bloodline factors.
Besides that, there are the "pacifists"...
Each Pacifist has the same appearance as Big Bear, which makes it hard not to associate them with Judge's clone soldiers.
Was the pacifist that Vegapunk created for the Navy also implanted with some kind of "ideological stamp"?
No one knows this...
After Lynch got these research materials from the Snow Mountain Cave Research Institute on the Mechanical Island, he observed them with Robin with great interest for a while at first, but later he became too lazy to pay attention to them.
How could he, who was not very attentive in school, suddenly become patient and study hard after wearing more clothes? How is that possible!
As a result, these research data have been gathering dust in the memory bank of the stand "BIB".
Now that they have come to the same winter island and snow country, Lynch conveniently handed over the information to the over 100-year-old witch doctor, so as to prevent the treasure from being covered in dust.
In the comics, Chopper, who has no relevant information, has created a multi-stage transformation that can adjust the wavelength of the animal-type devil fruit ability to achieve different enhancements...
So after learning more about Dr. Vegapunk's research on bloodline factors and demonic factors, what will Chopper come up with? Lynch was very curious.
But Kuleha didn't know this, and she had no interest in taking a reindeer as a student.
"Boy, although the medicine of the Bird Kingdom is powerful and there are things I can learn from it," the old woman said calmly, "you don't think that with my level, I can't do without it, do you? You want to use these insignificant books to make me take a deer as my apprentice and let me teach it everything I have learned in my life. Isn't that too contemptuous of me?"
Lin Qi reminded: "When you say these words, can you put down Dr. Vegapunk's research materials in your hand first?"
It's okay to say that the books of Bird Kingdom are worthless, but hold on to the research materials of Vegapunk.
"It's not impossible for me to help you take care of your pets." Kuleha's expression changed very naturally. She weighed the research materials of Vegapunk in her hand and said to Lynch and Robin seriously, "You have to deal with Valpo."
Lin Qi smiled and said, "Deal."
The big hand slapped the research materials held by Kuleha.
In this way, Pikachu and Chopper became Kuleha's apprentice.
Although Lin Qi seriously suspected that this old woman just wanted to find someone to serve tea, water and medicine bags...
"Girno, what is a pirate?"
Chopper had no idea about whether he was a doctor or not, or about his future studies, but he was very concerned about what Kuleha had just said, "So, you want to take it to be a pirate."
"Are you pirates?" the little guy asked, looking up.
"Well..." Lin Qi touched his chin, "I always find it difficult to answer."
Robin smiled and suggested, "Let's go up and take a look?"
"Good idea." Lynch readily agreed and took the confused little reindeer to the upper level of the substitute castle.
Kuleha had already sat back down behind a pile of books and research materials and ignored them.
Going to the next level…
In the empty floor, there was only a sailboat that was neither big nor small parked quietly.
The canvas was gathered, and a black flag was hanging listlessly on the top of the mast... The castle's main building 'BIB' thought, and a little white fluid seeped down from the ceiling of the floor, sticking to the black flag like a spider web, stretching it up and unfolding it, as if it was fluttering in the wind, and appearing in front of Chopper's eyes.
"This is the pirate flag." Lynch pointed at the JOJO skull pattern and said with a smile, "Anyone who is summoned by this thing is a pirate!"
"Oh..." Chopper stared at the flag, his big eyes sparkling, "I see..."
Robin chuckled and said, "Don't you deny that you are a pirate?"
Lin Qi turned his head and pinched her face casually, "Don't ruin the atmosphere at a time like this..."
………………
In this way, Chopper began to learn medicine from Kuleha.
Starting from the simplest, Kuleha threw it a book for basic learning and let it read it by itself. If it didn't understand, it could ask.
Chopper cherishes his life without being treated as a monster, as well as his relationships with Giorno, Jolyne, and Kureha, so he studies very hard.
"You've finished reading it?" Kuleha looked up from behind a pile of research materials and asked in surprise, "Has it been a month?"
She looked around at the environment inside the castle. She had been staying in Giorno and Jolyne's "pirate base" for a while and had hardly gone out. She was unaware of the passage of time.
Chopper pushed a thick book onto the table and said obediently, "No. But I read it for four days and finally finished it."
“……” Kuleha seemed to be recognizing this little reindeer for the first time and looked at it carefully.
"Doctor Kuleha, this knowledge is amazing," Chopper's eyes sparkled, "After I learn this, can I help others?"
"..." Kuleha said calmly, "You were being chased and beaten with a gun, but you still wanted to help others."
"..." Chopper opened his mouth and suddenly looked serious. He unconsciously imitated Lynch, touching his chin in deep thought.
It seemed to have just realized this seemingly contradictory thing...
Kulehakao taught it a few words of knowledge from the thick book, and Chopper withdrew his thoughts, thinking that he was playing a game, and answered one by one.
"Call me Master Kuleha from now on." The old woman smiled generously, "You can also call me Doctor."
Chopper shouted happily, "Doctor Kuleha!"
Kuleha nodded. Although the students she accepted were not human, they were very talented. She was inevitably in a good mood. She stood up and stretched, "What about those two people?"
As he was talking, Lynch and Robin came over, "It's time to go to town to buy some food supplies."
Kuleha said, "It just so happens that I also want to go to town."
Valpo left with the island's only medical team, and now if anyone on the island gets sick, there is no doctor to turn to for help.
Robin wanted to pay Kuleha to take it with her, but the old woman refused.
"Who do you think I am?" Kuleha pulled down her sunglasses. "When a doctor sees a patient, it's normal for the patient to give her food, clothes, alcohol, property, etc., isn't it? Hehehe..."
Lin Qi said speechlessly: "I think you are the pirate."
Kulei laughed loudly, "Not a pirate, but more like a bandit!"
She paused and said to herself, "A long time ago, there was a vicious bandit here. He later went out to sea and probably became a pirate. Now he must have died somewhere else..."
When they reached the entrance of the castle, Chopper suddenly cried out "Ah!" and said in fear, "I remember there was a ghost outside..."
Robin said, "Haven't we been in its body these past few days?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“…Inside the ghost’s body?!!” Chopper was so scared that his antlers almost flew off, and he hid behind Kuleha’s legs. But when he turned his head, he saw a ball of white fluid surging on the ground, “Ahhhhh!!”
The little guy was startled again and jumped high on the spot.
"You told me not to scare it." Lynch turned and said to Robin.
"No," Robin stroked his chin and said solemnly, "I didn't mean to scare it..."
Lynch pinched her face, and the white fluid surging on the floor over there had condensed into the shape of "BIB".
"Look, that's the ghost you mentioned." Lynch gave Chopper a thumbs up and said with a grin, "Warrior, look at the eyes and the flame patterns, isn't it handsome?"
"Wow..." Chopper looked up, his eyes sparkling with stars.
Robin smiled faintly. Kuleha drank from the bottle with a cold reaction.
The man in black armor lowered his head, his narrow eyes glowing white as he looked at the little reindeer and gave a thumbs up.
"Ghost is so handsome..." Chopper held his breath.
………………
In the snow and wind, Kuleha followed a deer and slowly walked into the Big Horn town.
"Quick, everyone, take up your weapons." On the town street, a group of young men gathered under Dalton's organization. "From today on, every town will send people to guard the port."
"Yes! This country... now belongs to every one of us, we must protect it! We must not let that bastard Valpo come back to cause trouble here..."
The residents were full of fighting spirit. Suddenly, someone raised his arm and shouted, "There are still pirates! We can't let the pirates..."
Everyone fell silent.
Pirates...
If those two pirates come again, can we really resist them?
"..." Dalton said in a deep voice, "Let's go."
Everyone was a little surprised to see Kuleha coming to the town, but no one said anything. Dalton nodded to her, glanced at the little reindeer following at her feet, and led the others out of Big Horn Town.
Chopper, who had transformed into a reindeer, looked at the backs of those people gradually going away and being gradually swallowed up by the wind and snow.
"Let's go, Chopper." Kuleha held the bottle of wine, "I smell someone sick."
Soon, she kicked open the door of a store, and in the surprised eyes of everyone in the store, she smiled and said, "Little ghosts, are you happy?"
There was a cry of surprise in the store, followed by a series of apologies.
On the table in the corner, there was a patient lying, and the one treating him was the girl named Rose whom he had met before. She was in a panic and kept apologizing to the patient and the family members next to him.
"Little brat." Kuleha's figure pressed on the flustered Rose. The latter raised her head and saw Kuleha and said calmly, "Only if you learn medical skills well can you treat people, understand?"
Kuleha took over the patient. Rose retreated behind the crowd, bit her lip, and looked at Kuleha who was calmly and skillfully treating the patient on the table.
"..." Kuleha turned the surgical scissors and glanced behind her. The girl rushed out of the door. "Okay, just take the medicine on time. As for the payment for the medical treatment..."
………………
In the snow, the reindeer carried a box of food and followed Kuleha back.
Its blue nose twitched twice, and it raised its head to look into the distance. In the vast snow and wind, there seemed to be a human figure flying through the air.
In the snow, the girl Rose hugged her knees in silence, sitting in the air, as if she was shrinking in an invisible air duct, slowly shuttling between the mountains...
………………
"So, ordinary people think you are a snow monster, not because your nose is blue... What's wrong with a blue nose? There are people in the world whose noses are as red as a ball. Was he considered a snow monster? No!"
In the castle, Kuleha continued to read and study materials on the upper floor, Robin lay on the sofa, drinking hot black tea and reading ancient books, while Lynch spoke to Chopper earnestly on the floor not far away.
"The key is not the color, but the shape... Even after you completely transformed into a human, your nose didn't change at all. It's still a deer nose!"
Hearing this, Chopper, who had completely transformed into a sturdy man, touched his nose.
"Give me a mirror." Lynch knocked on the wall of the castle.
The wall flowed, and a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror quickly emerged.
Chopper saw himself in the mirror and touched the blue nose again.
Giorno came over to himself in the mirror, hooked his neck, and flicked his blue nose. "Look, has it changed since you were a deer? The residents of this snowy country can tell at a glance that this is a deer's nose... It's either a human or a deer. It's normal that people are scared of you because you're a mix of a human and a deer and mistakenly think you're a snow monster."
“Oh…” The blue-nosed man pouted, a little aggrieved, “But when I was a deer, they would beat me as soon as I opened my mouth…”
"That's what they did wrong." Lin Qi nodded, "How about we go beat them up together some other day?"
He grinned, and Chopper saw it and grinned too. "Yeah!"
"Anyway, besides learning medicine from the old woman, you also need to correct your use of the Human-Human Fruit...you need to get rid of your subconscious as a deer, and when you humanize, you need to act like a human!"
"Um!"
Robin turned a page of the book and took a sip of red tea with a smile.
My hand feels so bad. It's a pity that I don't have the quota for leave this month, otherwise I would have taken leave today...
