The Seven Warlords of the Sea is a new system introduced by the World Government to balance the situation in the ocean in response to the increasing number of pirates. In simple terms, it is legal pirates.
They have the legal right to plunder within a certain area, but will not be wanted by the navy. Moreover, their members are not necessarily pirates. Some members have reached an agreement with the World Government for special reasons, such as Hawkeye, the navy hunter.
Unlike the scientific research team, they do not live under the nose of the world government, but they have certain connections with the world government and can get their hands on the funds.
As long as the opportunity is right, that position is Orlan's goal.
But not now. There is not even a shadow of that system yet, and all Orlan can do is make preparations.
After all, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have certain requirements for martial arts. At least the reputation must be enough to intimidate most people. If you are weak yourself, but can make others think you are strong and gather a group of people with good martial arts around you, that is also acceptable.
There is still plenty of time for Orlan and he has enough energy to prepare.
October 1489 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Two years after Orlan and Vegapunk won the Iber Prize, the main focus of MADS research has been on bloodline factors. After two years of hard work, they finally achieved a breakthrough and mastered the secret of bloodline factors.
"Olan, are you sure you want to do this? A lot of things here are the result of your hard work. Without you, I wouldn't be able to complete this research so quickly."
"I'm sure this little bit of fame and fortune isn't what I want. Instead, it will bring me a lot of trouble. I'd rather ask you to take the blame for the troubles that come with this false fame."
Unlike Caesar and his team who wanted to compete for the results and demonstrate their importance in the research of bloodline factors, Oran instead gave all the key results to Vegapunk.
"I understand. If you need me to, I can always make a public statement and return your research results to you."
Vegapunk would not embezzle research results, and he seemed to want to sign a document.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. I believe you, but Punk, I have to remind you not to trust the people around you too much.
The news of the successful bloodline factor research was leaked before you announced it. Maybe it was Feld's people, maybe there were government agents on the ship, or even that guy Caesar.
There are some things that only you should know."
The results of the bloodline factor were exposed quite suddenly. If some of the core results were not known only to Orlan and Vegapunk, they might be in more trouble now.
Thanks to the leaked incomplete information, the World Government believed that Vegapunk was the main researcher of the bloodline factor, so they launched a forced conscription on him, but did not pay too much attention to other people.
Orlan's most critical research project has not yet been exposed. Its reputation is mainly for its medical-related inventions, and its current level of attention is slightly lower than that of Vegapunk.
"This is the World Government's condition. I will be in charge of the Punk Hazard Research Institute from now on. Do you want to help me?"
"No, we've gotten along quite well these past few years, but it's time for us to part ways. We'll see each other again when I finish what I'm doing."
Vegapunk said nothing more and turned back to his laboratory, while Orlan began to pack up his things. There were already several large boxes behind Blitzcrank, which contained the results of recent cultivation.
Frankenstein was holding a giant khaki egg. There were some errors in Orlan's previous estimation. The egg still did not meet the conditions for hatching and remained at the critical point before hatching.
"Dad, are we leaving?"
Kate was holding the arm of a little girl with pink hair. The little girl spoke complete sentences incoherently and was carrying a package on her back. This was not child labor oppression, but she was doing it on her own initiative.
Children often like to hold some things in their hands to prove something. This is not difficult for her. Although she is only three years old this year, her physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary adults.
"That's right, we need to move to a new place, Riley."
Sidilir Leliana, one of Orlan's greatest achievements in MADS, is a clone created from Charlotte Lingling's DNA. Orlan currently regards her as his own daughter and also states this to the outside world.
Shortly after Orlan and Vegapunk returned from Marijoa, the cloning experiments were successful one after another, and Bakin had already left the ship with Whitebeard's clone, whom she called Edward Weeble's son.
The one on the ship who looks like her now is just her clone, Stussy.
"Olan, there's a special situation. A mutation has appeared in the fruits that Fran is responsible for taking care of. Look at this."
Kate took out a bunch of silver grapes from her bag. There were clusters of circular lines on them. There was no doubt that it had turned from an ordinary honey fruit into a devil fruit.
"There's no record of it in the illustrated guide we have. What do you think we should do with it?"
"Put it away first. It will come in handy sooner or later."
Devil fruits will be reborn randomly in a corner of the world after the death of the user. Any ordinary fruit has the potential to become a devil fruit. The mutation of the honey fruit is rather strange, but not unexpected.
"These are the supplies we put away. Orlan, please take a look to see if there's anything we've missed."
Kate handed Orlan a list. When Orlan was checking the list, the door at the side was suddenly pushed open.
"Oran! Come with me, the two of us can definitely accomplish something great! With your help, Germa will definitely become the best in the world!"
The disbandment of MADS is a foregone conclusion, but the core members basically have their own ideas. Relying on the technology of bloodline factors, Judge feels that he can definitely restore the glory of the country.
But after several years of research together, even though he was a little reluctant, he also realized Orlan's ability. If the other party was willing to help him.
"Olan! Come with me, the two of us can definitely accomplish something great! With your help, Judge?!"
Before Oran could give Judge an answer, time seemed to go back. The exact same voice came from outside the door, but the speaker was Quinn now.
He had the same idea, but Quinn planned to become a pirate. Only in this way could he let go and conduct research without any scruples. For future actions, he even wanted to drag Oran into the water with him.
When both Judge and Quinn wanted to recruit Orlan, a man in the corner showed a sinister smile, as if he had achieved some goal.
"Go ahead, just go ahead. If all of you guys leave, I'll be the undisputed second-in-command of this organization. Huh, huh, huh."
