Chapter 145 World News Day 10 (Two-in-One, 500,000 Nutrition...
World News Day 10:
Crocodile certainly wasn't so ignorant as to believe men could have children, but there were so many confusing and unexplainable mysteries surrounding Wendy... What if she actually had a solution?! He couldn't possibly bet on that!
And even if there was no other way, he didn't want to get involved at all—he had no feelings for Wendy Carter at all! He also didn't want to become like the rumor spread in the newspapers!
When he looked deeper, he was more interested in Wendy Carter's twin sister Abigail - because ghosts that can fight are really amazing!
Hawkeye frowned and glanced at Crocodile, then looked at Wendy again, noticing that she still had a solemn expression on her face. He then thought of how she had just come out from Vegapunk, and Nico Robin who had followed her out...
"Pfft." Robin couldn't help but let out a laugh, but when everyone looked over, he lowered his hand covering his mouth and regained his composure. He looked calm and unperturbed, and spoke in a normal tone, "What's wrong?"
Everyone: "..." Judging from this person's reaction, it would be strange if she said she didn't know the inside story.
"I see... you can make a man have children, that's great." Kizaru was unexpectedly calm and nodded in agreement.
This way it feels like their chances of winning have increased by another 10%... As for why it's an additional 10%, let's not worry about it for now.
Ace nodded earnestly, crossing his arms and saying, "That's right. This way, Wendy won't be in danger."
His biological mother died of complications during childbirth, so if Wendy didn't have to give birth herself, he would be the one who would support her the most.
"Your doting on your mother is a bit pathological, isn't it?" Crocodile complained, not forgetting the previous one. He angrily said, "And you, Kizaru—you can only say that because you weren't chosen for the next life!"
Kizaru was calm and collected: "Look, Hawkeye is also very calm."
"That's because he..." Crocodile just started to speak, but suddenly realized something was wrong - wait... If Wendy Carter can really make men have children, then what about before?
Crocodile couldn't help but glance at Wendy's son, Ace, then at his father, Hawkeye, and finally at Robin. Realizing something, he calmed down and narrowed his eyes. "Wait a minute... When Wendy Carter talks about giving birth, are they talking about the kind of androids Vegapunk created with technology?"
Robin showed a surprised expression: "Oh, what else did you think?"
Wendy followed in confusion: "Kroc, you want to give birth with your own body? Can you do it?"
Kizaru was also surprised: "Oh my, Crocodile, how could you have such a terrible idea?"
Ace was still whispering to Hawkeye for everyone to hear: "Look, I told you that Croc needs attention too. He's actually willing to have a child for Wendy..."
Hawkeye: "Well, let's take another look."
Crocodile: "..." What kind of people are these?!
I want to kill all my colleagues! Then I can take Pluto and leave the country!
On the Abigail, everyone was in harmony except Crocodile, who had already made an assassination plan in his mind.
Vegapunk was always busy, so he wouldn't come out to explain these things to everyone at this time. Instead, he relied on Wendy to relay the story.
"Old Bailey said that if I wanted, he could have any of the current Four Emperors give birth to me." Wendy counted carefully on her fingers. "Newgate and Kaido can give birth to me right now. As for Shanks and Linlin, I'll have to ask them for it."
Others: “…”
Crocodile listened and felt strangely balanced inside - hearing that Whitebeard was going to have a child with Wendy Carter, he felt that the fact that he had just been fooled by a group of people could be forgiven 10%.
But Wendy's statement... although everyone understands it, it sounds weird.
Therefore, Crocodile decided to let someone else tell the story before hearing anything stranger: "Nicole Robin, you've been listening, right? You tell the story."
Robin smiled, "I still have to listen to our captain."
Crocodile: “…”
Is this woman sure she has a new backer, so she's quitting acting? Now she's becoming more and more arrogant!
Ace also echoed from the other side: "That is to say, Crook, you are a little too arrogant, right? And what's wrong with what Wendy said?"
"So—you dote on your mother too much, right? Well, your father is the same. You two are exactly alike." Crocodile complained, "She's been spoiled by all of you, and that's why she's become more and more outrageous!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but look at Hawkeye and began to remind him indirectly: "Hey, Hawkeye, do you really think it's okay? Apart from anything else, Big Mom might really be willing to have a child with Wendy."
And Big Mom might be the type who thinks one isn't enough, so she wants ten or eight... Because in this way, not only will she have her child, but she will also form the strongest alliance with Wendy Carter... After all - yes, they have many children.
The others seemed to realize this as well and fell into deep thought.
Hawkeye ignored Crocodile and looked at Nico Robin. He asked, "You went along and heard everything, right? What exactly are these androids that Vegapunk was talking about?"
Although he would join Wendy in teasing Crocodile, Robin still respected Hawkeye and didn't joke around. He answered truthfully, "It's probably a genetically modified clone."
"That's like a weapon designed specifically for combat..." Hawkeye sighed, looked at Wendy, and answered firmly, "Wendy, I don't want a child like that."
Wendy nodded: "Okay, I know..."
"At the same time, I don't want to see you have a child like this." Hawkeye said slowly, "If you insist on doing this, I will choose to leave."
He didn't want to make the matter sound so serious, and in fact he didn't mind the emergence of multiple clones with two people's genes, and he could treat them as his own children... but he was completely opposed to this matter after careful consideration.
Wendy herself has very simple ideas and doesn't think about the consequences of this matter. Vegapunk is a naive idealist with a bit of a mad scientist element. His starting point may be to create more existences to protect Wendy... But when he encounters someone like Wendy who can only step on the accelerator or abandon the car and run away halfway, but doesn't know where the brakes are, once the experiment is opened, it is easy for the following to become out of control.
...and it seems that those with his and Wendy's genes are fine, but what about the others?
Red Hair will realize the seriousness of this matter and will probably object. Big Mom will probably just want to have more children and may even want to provide the genes of her outstanding children for further cloning. White Beard will definitely object, but his gene samples are already here, and they can't be stuffed back if they are directly created... Will the new world forces be unified in the end in a weird way?
Not to mention the Seven Warlords! If Crocodile were to actually be created, he'd probably kill his son on the spot and run away! Donquixote Doflamingo would probably be very proud, and then everyone else would be really confused - especially Jinbe and the Empress.
The more Hawkeye thought about it, the more his brows furrowed and his expression became serious.
After he said that, the whole audience fell silent.
Crocodile secretly cheered him: Well said! Hawkeye! It turns out you can be tough when you need to be tough!
Wendy blinked and looked at him, focusing on the complete wrong thing. "Where are you going? Then I'm coming with you!"
Crocodile, finally breathing a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Wendy Carter! You useless thing! ! ! Does your love-brain component maintain the conservation of mass?! One gets better and the other starts to get sick?!
Hawkeye was also stunned by her answer and sighed softly: "I'm not going anywhere, just back to Kraikana Island."
"Then I'll go with you!" Wendy held his hand.
"..." Hawkeye was silent for a moment. He should have explained that as long as she didn't clone the child, everything would be fine... But because he had opened his mouth, he had something else to say. So he didn't explain, but just reminded her, "But you have built a new home here, and it's bigger here."
"But I want to be with you. It's so boring to be alone." Wendy naturally excluded everyone else.
After all, Hawkeye is her only serious partner in building a family over the years, and the two have hardly been apart since they met.
Even if she had considered using the polyamorous marriage mod to get free access to other people's panels, she hadn't considered excluding Hawkeye. Even if Hawkeye knew about this, he probably wouldn't be happy.
"...If that happens, your newly built home will be destroyed." Hawkeye tried to explain the connection, "and the World Government won't let you go back."
"We can just rebuild it, although it's a bit troublesome. If any enemies come, we can just clean them up." Wendy said as a matter of course.
Anyway, in her opinion, nothing can be more annoying than a rain of frogs.
"What about your main mission?" Hawkeye said helplessly, "And all the people following you."
Wendy cared about him more than he thought, which really surprised and pleased him...but he already regretted asking this in front of so many people.
Ace was fine, and Crocodile's intention was not to help Wendy anyway, but Kizaru might be frightened - he finally made up his mind to surrender, but the admiral collapsed midway and wanted to go home to farm.
"We can still fight!" Wendy held his hand tightly and clung to him. "After all, our house is so big, everyone has a room!"
"...as long as you don't start that cloning project." Hawkeye raised his hand and pressed it on her hair, ending the conversation that had become like a farce.
Wendy nodded, "Sure, I have a mod anyway, so I can fight as much as I want... Ah, and about that, Mihawk, can I use the polyamory mod?"
Hawkeye: "No."
"But if I marry someone else, I can use their data if they agree..."
"Can't."
"But Lingling's defense is really strong..."
"I disagree."
"Well... okay then." Wendy gave up the idea in disappointment, and ran to Veg Punk to ask him to cancel the plan.
After she ran away, everyone looked at Hawkeye and no one spoke for a moment.
"Well, I'll go see if Wendy needs any help." Robin left with a smile on her face. She was in a good mood - because she found that even if Wendy ran away, there was still someone who could hold her back.
Crocodile also seemed much calmer than before - because he finally didn't have to face the consequences of being targeted.
"You are more important to her than I thought." Crocodile made a comment after watching the movie, waved his hand and went to find the shipwright Tom.
"You don't need to tell me." Hawkeye glanced at him, then looked at Kizaru who was sitting over there reading a newspaper.
Receiving his gaze, Kizaru put down the newspaper and looked over: "What's wrong? Changing jobs is tiring. Even if Wendy Carter wants to go back to farming, I have no choice but to follow her, right?"
...Although I don't know why, Kizaru seems to be quite loyal to Wendy...I just feel like it might be a misunderstanding.
Never mind. Wendy can't stop him if he runs anyway. After all, speed is Wendy's biggest weakness... I'll just have to be careful. And have Ace keep an eye on him when the time comes. — Hawkeye made his decision.
Kizaru watched his expression change, then looked away and started reading the newspaper again.
He was speaking the truth! He wouldn't just change jobs!
If Wendy finally decides to rebel, then he really wants to join the rebellion. Although he is still a gangster, he feels that there is less pressure here, and he will not feel guilty even if he helps out. If Wendy suddenly decides not to rebel in the end, then given her status, the higher-ups will not crack down on her at all, and he can stay there comfortably and be a real gangster... Where can you find such a position that has the best of both worlds!
And to be honest, judging by Wendy's performance today, he felt a little more relaxed - it proved that Wendy was someone who listened to advice.
Even though this person who expressed her opinion was important, she didn't have the arrogance and contempt inherent in the Celestial Dragons. That was enough.
Hawkeye ignored him and went to find Wendy - he also wanted to have a good talk with Vegapunk.
Kizaru looked at the last person left in the meeting room and said, "What's wrong, Fire Fist? Don't you want to go with your parents?"
"No... I'm thinking." Ace frowned, his face full of doubt.
He usually smiles on the boat, and this state is quite rare. Kizaru took a sip of soothing tea and asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"The Navy also tried to recruit me to be one of the Shichibukai back then... If I had agreed to be one then, wouldn't Vegapunk also have my blood sample, and then there might be a chance that Wendy and I's child would be born today?" Ashley finished his logic, looking shocked.
"Puff, cough, cough, cough--!" Kizaru was completely choked by his bizarre idea.
"Wendy and I are mother and son. You navy guys are too perverted, aren't you?" Ace looked at Kizaru with sharp eyes and a condemning tone.
...Who is the perverted one? !
Kizaru took a sip of tea with a blank expression: "I'm not a navy now."
Forget it, he is the prince of this family after all, he won’t bother with others.
***
In fact, Kizaru had asked before about who would be Wendy's successor.
After all, she had a pair of "twins", one of whom was raised by her side, and the other was sent outside to follow the leader of the revolutionary army to carry out the revolution, as if one was teaching her hand in hand, while the other was outside to expand the territory.
Therefore, Kizaru also asked whether she had a designated successor.
Of course, Wendy had no idea what an heir was. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "There's no such thing as an heir. We don't practice hereditary succession."
After all, she built a house to live in herself, her friends could come over to play, and the children would have rooms. But it was impossible for a famine survivor to give up her home to someone else... If a savage came into her file and took away some of her permanent items, such as the Crown of Enlightenment, that would be an irreconcilable feud!
Kizaru was a little surprised, but felt that this was something the little princess who said she wanted to smash the throne would do, so he nodded in agreement.
However, he was also curious and asked about Wendy's children, and then learned from her the name of her youngest son Luffy. As for what kind of child Luffy was, Wendy didn't need to say it. If you mention Luffy, Ace will chase you and tell you everything like pouring beans.
After the Seraph Project was rejected, Vegapunk devoted himself to the research of agricultural products and also made some other small inventions during this period.
In fact, it was thanks to him that he stopped the research - because when he really wanted to extract genes from Wendy, he would have discovered the abnormality in Wendy - there were no gene fragments, and blood could not be extracted.
However, as the smartest person and the strongest scientist in the world, with the support of various things from Wendy and no shortage of follow-up funds, he still produced a lot of good things.
For example, after studying Wendy's magical cooking pot, he developed a mass-produced version - now Wendy can put 99 ingredients in the giant cooking pot and directly produce 99 portions of food and put them in the refrigerator.
The only drawback is that this can only be operated by Wendy.
Even after Wendy brought it up, he directly built an expanded version of the refrigerator - now Wendy can use one refrigerator to replace the capacity of four!
And after observing the magical wardrobe that Wendy used to change clothes, he also built an invention called the "Dressing Room", which allows other people to go in and choose their own clothing styles and automatically help them change clothes with one click.
The two biggest projects he has on hand now are the research on the "Mother Fire", an unlimited fuel to be supplied to Pluto for starting up, and the research on mass-produced giant crops requested by Wendy.
The latter has already had some effect and has begun to be planted on Wendy's territory island.
"The trees in the water have grown quite a bit. Once they become a mature island, I'll install an island-wide air-conditioning system to heat the land. Then, I'll be able to adjust and control the weather. Wendy, whatever you want to plant won't be restricted by the seasons." Veg Punk said, adding a calculation. "I think it'll be done in another year!"
"Great!" Wendy raised her hands happily.
"Hey, Vegapunk, we can't fall behind in the research on the Mother Fire." Crocodile, who had been waiting to listen to the progress, immediately reminded him.
"The research on the Mother Fire is a long-term project and will take longer. And Wendy said that food is more important, so I will give this project a lower priority," explained Vega Punk.
Wendy also looked over with an unhappy expression: "Of course farming is more important! Crook, you're so noisy. I should have asked you to get that fruit."
Wendy was talking about the "failed" artificial devil fruit that Vegapunk had left behind in his previous research facility. When Robin heard this, he thought it might be the key, so he went to talk to Hawkeye about it.
Afterwards, a few important and intelligent people on the boat held a small meeting - Wendy not included. It wasn't that they had the guts to exclude the captain, but the captain couldn't sit still for five minutes and went out fishing, showing off his big fish to them from time to time.
At this meeting, Kizaru, who knew something about the research institute, asked a key question: "You said that the finished product imitating Kaido's devil fruit was a failure. What exactly was the failure?"
Vegapunk looked regretful: [It was made, but the devil fruit is pink.]
The others were confused, and Crocodile asked: [And then?]
Vegapunk sighed: [After eating it, you will turn into a pink dragon... How can a dragon be pink? ]
Everyone was silent.
Hawkeye couldn't help but ask: [So besides color, are there any other issues?]
Vegapunk: [That shouldn't be the case.]
Everyone present fell into a long silence.
Crocodile was a little dazed, wondering if the World Government was right. Vegapunk and Wendy Carter were indeed friends before, and Kizaru was turned against them... Otherwise, there was no way to explain why these two people not only had such weird inventions, but also had such similar weird thinking.
Finally, Robin broke the silence: [I see… A pink dragon is indeed strange.]
Crocodile was angry: [Stop telling that lame joke of yours at this time!]
Of course, the meeting ended in failure because Wendy's fishing rod was stolen, and she came in with a look of grievance to complain to everyone.
As a result, everyone cleaned up the fish around the Abigail, whether voluntarily or forced, and collected several groups of 99+ large and small fish meat.
However, everyone understood the meaning of the artificial devil fruit, and in the end Ace and Robin went to get it - Ace was responsible for dealing with possible problems, Robin's ability was more convenient for taking things, and she wanted to see which things would be better destroyed.
In addition, because this fruit is of great significance, it must be carried by someone who is trusted.
Therefore, in response to Wendy's accusation, Crocodile just snorted coldly: "Stop it, even if I'm willing to go, I'm sure there will be people who disagree."
He didn't want to get involved in these things. He just planned to wait a year and take away Pluto.
And it was at this time... a piece of news reached Wendy.
"Mom, Big Bear said that during his investigation in Dressrosa, he discovered that Donquixote Doflamingo was about to auction off the Silence Fruit... When the leader found out, he said that the previous owner of the Silence Fruit was related to you, so he told me to tell you. Do you need me to come over?"

The author has something to say: I panicked when I saw that the number of chapters with Nutrient Solution had reached double digits, so I quickly tried to add more chapters to try to get it back down!
PS: I'm not making up those additional inventions of Vegapunk. The locker room and the air conditioning on the entire island are all original... The more I look at it, the more ecstatic I am, because it matches Don't Starve so well.jpg
PPS: That female fire is like a dragonfly furnace, if you are hungry, you know what I mean [rice dog]
