Chapter 15

【In the third year, Vegapunk successfully solved the mystery of green blood.

He felt inferior to you and praised you as the world's number one genius scientist. The invention of green blood is a true masterpiece of genius.

You tested Vegapunk and asked him about the secret of green blood.

He told you everything he knew, as if he was facing a test from his mentor, and opened all the research materials about green blood to you.

You got the method of making green blood. 】

Seeing this, Edie couldn't help laughing.

The self in the simulation was really smart.

He didn't know how green blood was made at all.

That's 150.8 billion Baileys.

However, this is not important. Edie continued to read on while drinking coffee.

【In the fourth year, you continued to stay in the research institute of Punk Hazard and studied green blood in depth with Vegapunk.

You raised a question:

Is it possible for a non-ability person to use different abilities by replacing the green blood device?

Vegapunk was very excited about this question.

This is a genius idea! ]

[In the ninth year, you jointly developed a new type of green blood.

Its color is different from that of ordinary green blood, but the color of the sea, and you named it "blue blood".

This is a universal green blood. Any non-devil fruit ability user can temporarily obtain the corresponding devil fruit ability by injecting a small amount of blue blood into the body!

However, it has certain defects.

The blue blood device is too large, its size is comparable to the steam engine used by a large paddle steamer, and it is not suitable for carrying around.

You began to work on miniaturization research. ]

[In the sixteenth year, your miniaturization research was successful.

The blue blood device was reduced from the size of a steam engine to the size of a bracelet.

But you are still not satisfied. ]

[In the eighteenth year, you developed the third generation of blue blood device.

It is only the size of a ring, and you named it "ability ring".

Vegapunk sighed and thought that your research would completely change the world!

You shook your head and said:

Blue blood can only produce animal and superhuman types at present, and the production of natural blue blood has never been successful.

You invited Vegapunk to continue. ]

[In the 20th year, your research was exposed and the World Government targeted you.

You parted ways with Vegapunk and continued your research alone. ]

[In the 63rd year, your lifespan came to an end at the age of 87.

You died. ]

[Research failed]

"..."

Edie was stunned. The reversal came too fast and caught people off guard.

Is it so difficult to make natural blue blood?

He and Vegapunk couldn't solve it together!

After they separated, he studied alone for another 43 years, but still couldn't solve it.

Natural...

An extremely rare existence among devil fruits.

It is special.

"Forget it, let's ignore the problem of natural system and try again."

Edie expressed calmness. In scientific research, failure is the norm and success is accidental.

The third simulation began.

[...]

[In the 18th year, you developed the third-generation blue blood device and named it "Ability Ring".

You temporarily gave up the production of natural blue blood.

You took out the blood of many people with abilities that you have been keeping.

You created...

Power Ring · Azure Dragon.

Power Ring · Yamata no Orochi.

Power Ring · Pteranodon.

Power Ring · Time.

Power Ring · Imitation. 】

[Simulation End]

After giving up the creation of natural blue blood, this simulation finally succeeded.

Settlement screen.

[This simulation consumed a total of 35.2 billion berries in research funds. 】

[This research reward...]

[Do you want to pay...]

No.

While refusing, Edie muttered in surprise: "I'm a little uncomfortable seeing three-digit research funds all of a sudden."

The previous two clones cost hundreds of billions.

Probably because it's better to lean on a big tree for shade.

Punk Hazard is a research institute of the World Government after all, with all kinds of facilities.

[Extra Reward]: Power Ring*5

Receive.

With a flash of white light, five rings immediately appeared in Edie's palm.

The shape of the rings is exactly the same, snow-white, and integrated, with only the inner ring engraved with the corresponding name.

They are called: Azure Dragon, Yamata no Orochi, Pteranodon, Time, and Imitation!

"Is this the ability ring? It's too precise... I can't see any gaps at all, maybe just a few threads!"

Edie kept observing and was shocked.

1 thread = 0.01 mm.

In other words, the gap between the mechanical structure of the ability ring is only a few tenths of a millimeter.

Awesome.

Edie could only praise himself silently.

"Only 35.2 billion... I can master the corresponding knowledge and technology!"

Edie pondered for a moment and decided to buy it as soon as possible.

It seems that I have to go to the Kingdom of God.

The gold there is just sitting there, so why not spend it on him.

"Compared to this, how should I use it?"

After studying for a while, he finally figured it out.

He put the ability ring representing "time" on the little finger of his left hand, and then rotated it half a circle clockwise.

In an instant, a needle thorn popped out from the inside of the ring and pierced his finger.

Without Edie's sight, the blue blood in the ring was injected into his body.

At this moment, Edie gained the power of "Time Fruit"!

He stretched out his hand to pick up the coffee and stared intently.

The next moment, the coffee in his hand disappeared from his eyes and was sent to the future.

"I see... I probably understand."

Edie understood.

Opening and closing the ability ring is the same action.

Turn half a turn, open;

Turn another half turn and close.

When turned on, he will gain corresponding abilities.

But even so, this thing still has flaws.

At the same time, he can only obtain one ability.

Not only that, but if it is left on, it will probably only last an hour before it runs out of blue blood.

"It's amazing. Although it has flaws, it is undoubtedly a great invention comparable to Seraph!"

"Unfortunately, blue blood is a consumable and needs constant replenishment."

"And...each time the ability is switched, it will take effect in about five seconds."

Five seconds may seem short, but in a high-intensity battle, a lot can happen in five seconds.

After several tests, Edie basically understood the advantages and disadvantages of the ability ring.

Overall, there are half and half pros and cons.

It does solve the problem of ability users being afraid of sea water to a certain extent.

As long as the ability ring is not turned on, the user of the ring is a non-ability person, and of course is not afraid of sea water or sea tower stones.

This is the power of science! !

"There is still room for improvement. The fourth and fifth generations may be able to improve...but let's talk about it later."

Edie shook his head and left the institute immediately.

He went to the street to buy some breakfast and returned to the second floor of the institute.

In front of one of the guest rooms, Chenlong and Shenhou stood there like two door gods.

"Where's the female ninja?" Edie handed them breakfast.

"It's inside." Chenlong immediately took out the key, "Sir Heavenly Father, do you want to go in?"

"Shenhou, give these breakfasts to Tianyue Shi and the three of them. Chenlong, come in with me."

Edie walked into the room and saw A Nin huddled in the corner, his whole body tied tightly with chains.

"Ugh!"

A Nin, whose mouth was gagged, yelled a few random words at Edie, with a look of fear in his eyes.

Edie placed a breakfast in front of her.

"Let's draw blood first, Miss A-nin."
