Chapter 46: Suturing the Soul and the Body
Finally, the range stopped expanding, but if someone looked over the Sabaody Archipelago, the entire Sabaody Archipelago was covered.
At the same time, the life energy in the air began to gather continuously, and continued to gather towards the center.
At this time, Moria also felt the riot of life energy in the air, and his wounds were getting better.
And the life energy in the center almost reached the level of liquefaction, and the green light shot up into the sky, which was very eye-catching.
The reason why the immortal surgery is immortal is that it requires the ability of the surgery fruit to perform the surgery and break the rules of birth, aging, illness and death in the world.
The immortal surgery can only be truly regarded as the immortal surgery after completing this step.
All the previous preparations cannot be regarded as the immortal surgery. For the ability of the surgery fruit, replenishing the lost vitality of the body and repairing the hidden injuries of the body, these, as long as the medical skills are superb, even if there is no ability of the surgery fruit, superb doctors can do it. For the ability of the surgery fruit, using the devil fruit ability, this process will become simpler, the surgery will be more perfect, and people's life span will be extended longer.
In this case, although you cannot achieve immortality, you can do it many times, as long as your medical skills are good enough. There are very few people in the pirate world who can live to the age of natural death. There are very few older people in the pirate world. The old swordsman on Moria’s ship is now 60 years old and still insists on sailing, which is very rare on the sea.
Generally speaking, in the pirate world, most people can only live to 60 or 70 years old, and rarely to 80 years old. For civilians, life is difficult, various diseases, wars, or encountering pirates’ robbery. In short, living to 60 or 70 years old is already considered longevity.
As for pirates, life and death are common. During the voyage, this sea has buried countless pirates. If you can become a strong man, stand out from many pirates, and are not afraid of fighting, but the hidden injuries accumulated over the years have already made your body collapse. When you are in your sixties or seventies, once you become old, various diseases and hidden injuries will break out at the same time, and it is difficult to die of old age. Whitebeard is the best example. Although he had no rivals on this sea when he was young, once he got old, he could only end up with hatred.
On the pirate side, once they enter old age, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold on this sea. Even legendary figures like Whitebeard and Golden Lion can only end up with hatred.
But the navy is different. Old guys like Sengoku and Garp are still active on the battlefield and maintain strong combat power. This is the role of a perfect logistics support mechanism. Once injured, receive the best treatment to minimize the damage to the body during the battle. Moreover, there will be no shortage of medicines like Yuanye. Even if the navy generals retire, they will be able to maintain a certain combat power. I don’t know how many old guys there are in the world government!
Therefore, the life span of the navy is generally longer than that of other people in the pirate world. If you can ensure that you will not die in battle and have the strength to protect yourself, you can still safely retire in the end.
But the pirates are not like that. At least in the original work, apart from Pluto Ray, Lemuria does not know any other pirates who can live in peace.
As we all know, after a person dies, his soul will go to the underworld, and then enter the six paths to reincarnate. In the pirate world, Brook has a soul and resurrects from the underworld, so this underworld should exist, and there is also a soul.
If you want to live forever, you must first ensure that your soul will not be sent to the underworld. As long as your soul exists in your body forever, you can live forever. And now, the last step of the immortal surgery is to complete this.
I saw that on the operating table, an old man flew out from the body of the operator of the surgery fruit ability. The two are almost exactly the same, but if you look closely, there are still differences between the two. The old man standing in front of the operating table is actually the body of the old man, and the one that flew out, which is a little illusory, is the soul of the old man.
As time goes by, the soul of the old man seems to become more and more illusory and ethereal. When it disappears completely, the old man's life will also come to an end. Moreover, this is not the soul floating to the underworld, but the soul dissipating and disappearing forever, without even the chance of reincarnation.
The old man's soul is constantly operating on the operating table, but in the eyes of others, the big man on the operating table has not changed at all, and the old man seems to have done nothing. But in fact, this is the last step of completing the immortal surgery.
The big man lying on the operating table will sew his soul to his body, and the soul will no longer float out of the body, so that he will not lose his life, and finally achieve the purpose of immortality.
But suturing the soul to the body is a kind of connection between nothingness and reality. All the surgical instruments in reality are useless. To sew the soul, only the soul can be used to sew it.
Moreover, everyone's soul is unique, and different souls are incompatible with each other. If you use another person's soul to suture, it may work in a short time, but over time, the rejection between souls will manifest itself, and finally, the anti-aging operation will fail.
Then can we use the original soul? But in this case, the soul is incomplete. An incomplete soul will cause immeasurable losses to the whole person, or even direct death, and disappear into ashes.
So the only way is to transform the soul of the person who has the ability to perform the surgery. It is not feasible to use the soul of other people to transform it. This has already involved the soul level and even the rules of this world. The world taboo of performing the immortal surgery has been forbidden by the rules of the world. Although the old man feels that he can use the soul of other people to transform it, if he does so, he is doomed to fail.
Perhaps this is the punishment for performing the immortal surgery!
The old man's soul looked away from the two CP0s next to him and sighed.
The old man's soul began to tremble violently. Logically, the soul should not sweat, but the old man's illusory soul really sweated. In fact, this is also a symbol of the old man's continuous loss of vitality.
At the same time, some parts of the body where the old man stood began to disappear, turning into smoke and ash, and dissipating in the world.
At this time, the old man not only has to suffer the pain of soul transformation, but also has to concentrate on suturing the position soul and body on the operating table. This process is undoubtedly extremely painful and torturous.
This kind of pain that goes deep into the soul is far more intense than the physical pain. But you can't faint, you must always stay awake, because once the suturing is wrong, there is a problem somewhere, not only will the immortal surgery fail, but it will also cause soul damage to the person who has undergone the immortal surgery. Soul damage is irreversible, and you don't know what will happen after the soul is damaged.
In the process of the world government implementing immortal surgery in history, there have been successes and failures. Among the failed examples, immortality may not be possible, but most of them have maintained a lifespan of more than 100 years. But the only time, it was very serious, when both the operator and the person being operated on were wiped out, which caused a great blow to the world government at that time.
