Chapter 102 Seraph (Ch 102)

【G-1 Branch Marshal’s Office】

Seven days after the end of the War of Marineford, the entire naval system is undergoing an unprecedented reshuffle and reconstruction.

In the spacious office, a golden banner of “Absolute Justice” hangs high.

In the office of the new marshal of the G1 branch, Sakaski sat behind a large desk, his red cloak hanging down, and lava lines faintly visible on his arms.

He stared at the pile of post-war reports on his desk with a frown.

“Knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door, and Rogge pushed it open, holding a black metal box in his hand. He placed it on the desk and opened it gently. A special potion with a light blue glow lay quietly inside.

“Uncle, I brought you something good.”

Sakaski raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the potion in Roger’s hand. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “What is it?”

“Uncle, this is Vegapunk’s new achievement – [Human Restriction Remover].”

Rogge smiled faintly and said, “It can greatly strengthen the body, so that the development of domineering is no longer restricted, and truly break the shackles of the so-called ‘human limit’.”

Sakaski stared at the potion, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: “Vegapunk’s new research?”

Roger nodded and said with a smile, “There are three in total. Leiter and I have already drunk them. Otherwise, why do you think Leiter’s domineering power has skyrocketed recently? If you don’t seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to break through in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Sakaski no longer hesitated, directly uncorked the medicine bottle and drank it in one gulp.

After a moment, the muscles all over his body rolled like magma, and the domineering energy in his body seemed to have broken some shackles, and a force so powerful that it was almost unstoppable surged wildly!

The lava lines suddenly became bright, his pupils contracted slightly, and then returned to normal.

“Tsk, good stuff.”

“Huh…” Sakaski exhaled a breath of hot white air and revealed a rare happy smile, “You have a lot of good stuff in your hands, even Vegapunk has been hooked by you!”

Rogge shrugged and smiled, “How are you doing as a marshal? Are you used to it?”

At this point, Sakaski frowned again: “The position of marshal… is really uncomfortable. I review documents all day long. Watching you guys kill pirates all over the world, my hands are itching!”

Rogge’s smile deepened: “There is gain and loss. With you in charge, I can go to the battle with confidence.”

“The navy’s combat power also needs to be supplemented. I suggest recruiting some high-end combat power from the public. Perhaps there will be unexpected gains…”

He paused, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, “But don’t worry, you will definitely not be missing in the next big scene.”

Sakaski snorted, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised: “You are a sensible boy!”

The two men smiled at each other, and a rare relaxed atmosphere between uncle and nephew spread after the war.

【Future Island·Core Research Area】

The silver tower rises high into the clouds, and its robotic arms are like giant steel beasts, constantly debugging super weapons that have not yet been activated in the sky.

The entire island has completely entered a war situation, with drones patrolling in the air and the alert level at full capacity.

Vegapunk stood in front of the tarmac, pushing up his glasses with a playful smile on his face.

“Oh, General Xuanlin is here in person, what a rare guest.”

He spread his hands in an exaggerated manner, “What ‘new toy’ are you here to get this time?”

Rogge walked off the battleship, his black military boots making crisp sounds as they stepped on the metal floor.

“Don’t pretend, Doctor.” He smiled faintly, “I know you have been waiting for me to come.”

Vegapunk smiled even more deeply, turned around and led Roger into the depths of the laboratory: “Blackbeard’s research is progressing well, but…”

Roger raised his eyebrows: “But what?”

Vegapunk stopped and turned to look at Rogge, his eyes gleaming with excitement: “I wonder if I can transform him into a Seraph.”

Rogge narrowed his eyes: “Seraphim?”

Vegapunk nodded: “Replace his brain directly and turn him into a controllable humanoid ‘Fruit Extractor’. He can protect himself and be used by us.”

Rogge pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “It’s a good idea, it’s feasible.”

Vegapunk took Rogue deeper into the research institute, passing through multiple security devices along the way, and finally arrived at the core laboratory with the highest authority.

Inside the experimental cabin, several super brains were running at high speed, and countless streams of data were interweaving in the air, like a dream.

Vegapunk pointed to a huge transparent culture chamber, in which the deeply comatose Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach was immersed. His body was full of energy tubes. The shadow energy on his body surface escaped from time to time, causing a strange distorted reaction with the culture fluid.

“This guy’s physique…even I have to admit, it is indeed extraordinary.”

Vegapunk’s tone was rarely filled with admiration, “He possesses a strange ‘two souls’ state, which allows him to withstand the load of multiple devil fruits.”

Rogge glanced at him calmly and said, “He is no longer qualified to continue enjoying this special physique.”

Vegapunk nodded and smiled, then walked to the main console and skillfully operated a set of complex equipment: “I have activated the [Consciousness Stripping] program to completely seal his individual consciousness, leaving only his natural adaptability to the fruit’s abilities.”

After he finished speaking, Blackbeard’s eyes slowly opened, but only a mechanical, empty look remained.

“He is now a completely controlled experimental subject.”

Vegapunk pushed up his glasses, his eyes flickering, “And this is the ‘fruit extraction core’ of the new era.”

As he spoke, he controlled the mechanical arm to slowly extract a dark energy from Blackbeard’s body, condensing it into a dark and transparent fruit phantom.

“——The essence of the Dark-Dark Fruit’s power.”

Rogge took the Shadow Fruit and felt the heart-pounding devouring power in it. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: “With it, the war sword of ‘absolute justice’ can be sharper.”

“Good stuff.” He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, “I’ll take it.”

Vegapunk shrugged. “I knew you’d say that.”

Vegapunk spread his hands and smiled: “However, this type of extraction has only been successful once so far. If we want to achieve stable mass production, we need more…materials.”

Rogge waved his hand casually, and threw two heavy figures directly out from the ring space, hitting the metal ground.

“Bang! Bang!”

Two figures fell heavily to the ground. Vegapunk looked down and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Garp! Kuzan!

“Haven’t they already…” Vegapunk’s voice trembled slightly.

Rogge sneered: “It’s just recycling waste.”

Even Vegapunk was stunned, and after a long while he smiled bitterly: “You… even brought them here?”

Rogge smiled coldly: “You are useless when you are alive, so use another way to contribute to justice.”

Vegapunk walked forward and looked at the two people who still maintained strong physical activity, with a strong desire to study flashing in his eyes.

“Their bodies are much stronger than ordinary humans, making them the perfect vehicles for transformation. The development plan for the ‘Seraph Advanced Type’ can now be officially launched.”

The bodies of Karp and Kuzan were dragged away and fixed by mechanical arms, and countless nanorobots were repairing tissues at their wounds.

“It takes time to transform Seraphim, but their physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, so the success rate is very high.”

Vegapunk said.

Rogge nodded: “Finish it as soon as possible. I need them to become ‘weapons’ instead of waste.”

Vegapunk smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will make them stronger than they were in life.”

“but……”

Vegapunk turned around and looked at Roger, “Since you can provide these people, then next, I will also need you to provide more high-level combat materials.”

Rogge stood with his hands behind his back and responded indifferently: “You don’t need to remind me, I will bring the terminator of an entire era.”

Vegapunk took a deep breath and looked at the endless storm outside the incubator: “It seems… the reckoning of the world has just begun.”
