Naval Headquarters.
"Caesar Clown, artificial Devil Fruit technology?"
Sengoku looked at the newspaper in front of him with a frown.
He knew about both of these things, and there was no doubt about them being put together.
The technology of artificial Devil Fruits was developed by Vegapunk of the Navy's Science Corps several years ago.
Caesar Clown was once the second-in-command of the Navy's Science Corps, so it is very likely that he obtained Vegapunk's research results.
"Sengoku, artificial Devil Fruits cannot be allowed to escape the control of the World Government.
Once it leaks out, it could quickly create a large number of people with ulterior motives, making the navy, which is already overwhelmed, even more miserable."
Tsuru had a serious expression on her face and analyzed the situation with deep concern.
Ever since Roger opened the Great Pirate Era, the seas have become increasingly turbulent, and the navy has become busier every year.
All kinds of ambitious people emerge one after another. If they are allowed to obtain the technology of artificial Devil Fruits, the navy will be doomed.
"I know. I know."
Sengoku looked worried and felt that the situation was very difficult.
As the Fleet Admiral, he knows better than anyone the horror of artificial Devil Fruit technology.
A few years ago, Vegapunk could even replicate Mythical Zoans.
If Caesar can do the same, then a Mythical Zoan user from the military would be a nightmare for the navy.
As for creating artificial Devil Fruits for themselves to fight back, that is impossible.
The military funds allocated to the navy by the Five Elders were never much to begin with and are not enough to cover the cost of making Devil Fruits.
Moreover, given the temperament of those Five Elders, they would definitely not feel comfortable with the navy controlling so many people with special abilities.
"The problem now is that we can't do anything to Caelan. He's too strong."
Sengoku looked helpless.
If any force other than the Four Emperors did such a thing, he would not let that force survive to the next day.
But now it is Caelan taking action, the man who is equal to or even surpasses the Four Emperors.
Once they gather all their strength to deal with Caelan, what will happen to the other Four Emperors?
"If we can't get rid of the sellers, then we'll get rid of the buyers."
He took a sip of tea, his eyes flashing coldly.
"Well, that's all we can do."
"If the Yonkos take action, then try to destroy the technology of artificial Devil Fruits and silence Caesar as well."
Sengoku agreed with Tsuru's method and added on the spot.
If they can't deal with Caelan, can't they deal with others?
"Let Akainu and Kizaru work together, and kill whoever buys it! If it's the Yonkos, then try to destroy Caesar and don't let the technology of artificial Devil Fruits leak out."
Sengoku said murderously.
…
Dressrosa.
Two figures shrouded in cloaks stepped onto the harbor.
Through the cloaks, one could see that one was a tall and burly man, and the other was a slim girl.
The man's profile under the shadow of the black hood had a row of tattoos that looked like shoe soles, which attracted passersby to turn their heads frequently.
The two people were none other than Koala and Dragon who had come from afar.
"We're finally here!"
Koala's tone was very light.
First from the New World to the East Blue, and then from the East Blue back to the New World, this bitter journey has finally come to an end.
"Is this Dressrosa under Caelan's rule? It looks good."
Dragon looked around and nodded slightly.
The streets were crowded with people, with smiles on their faces and looking carefree.
From time to time, you could see a few security guards in black uniforms patrolling around. They should be the Neo Navy established by Caelan.
The people who saw them all smiled and greeted them warmly.
"What a vibrant scene!"
Dragon showing his appreciation without hiding it.
"Wow, Dressrosa under Caelan's rule is much better than our headquarters!"
Koala also exclaimed loudly.
Even in the headquarters of their Revolutionary Army, there is rarely such a scene.
When people see the Revolutionary Army, they will still be afraid and scared.
After hearing what Koala said, Dragon's face froze, but fortunately it was not clearly visible because of the shoe print tattoos.
This little girl doesn't understand the ways of the world at all.
Although this is true, it is very hurtful to say it.
At this time, Koala was still comparing and observing: "Wow, these soldiers are more motivated than ours! Wow, these shops are so prosperous! Wow, these people are happier than ours!…"
"Ahem, stop looking.
Koala, we're going to meet Caelan."
Dragon interrupted Koala's continuous commentary.
"All right."
Koala shut up with a look of dissatisfaction.
She wasn't done marveling yet.
"Go!"
Dragon quickened his pace, wanting to see Caelan as soon as possible.
On the way here, he also saw the news that Caelan was going to auction the artificial Devil Fruit technology.
That is an artificial Devil Fruit, a treasure that can be mass-produced for powerful people!
Artificial Devil Fruits can just make up for their lack of strong men. Now they are far inferior to the overall strength of the navy.
But with the artificial Devil Fruit, it's different. With dozens or even hundreds of people with special abilities, their overall strength would more than double.
If they can get Caelan to join, can they get this technology for free?
