Galio experienced the baptism of countless arcane torrents on the battlefield, and eventually formed a unique life form.
Duran created Galio, but Oran couldn't explain how much connection there was between the birth of Galio's life and Duran's composition.
"If arcane energy can cause the Forbidden Magic Stone to react, then can the long-term bombardment of Devil Fruit abilities cause changes in Seastone?"
Orlan left a question mark in his notebook. This project seemed to have many mysteries.
"As a mountain dragon, Terra is naturally proficient in earth elemental magic. My own mental power is also quite special. Can this power affect seastone?"
Questions soon appeared in the notebook, but all these mysteries were finally connected to the same thing - seastone.
Due to the different characteristics of the world, this world has no magic, but has devil fruits.
There is no magic stone, but there is seastone.
Alternative experiments require sufficient raw materials to proceed.
Even if the scale is reduced, more seastone is needed.
After all, when creating Galio, Duran also had requirements for the purity of the forbidden magic stone. The purity of the seastone in the outer sea varies, and most of them are in the shape of handcuffs, which is difficult to meet Oran's needs.
Research cannot be carried out solely based on paper theories, and Oran requires a certain amount of practice.
Even things that Orlan thought were impossible were only achieved after practice.
"We need to get more seastone."
A stone statue must be created first before the subsequent experiments can be carried out. The impact of experimental failure is not great. Seastone can always be used and will not be wasted.
Seastone is a special product of this ocean and is the nemesis of Devil Fruit users.
Sinking into the sea will only make the ability user become powerless, but the original ability can still be used. For example, in the original timeline, when Luffy was knocked into the pool by Arlong in Cocoyasi Village, others could help him pull his head out of the water to the surface to breathe.
But seastone is different. In addition to being extremely hard and difficult to destroy, it can also seal the abilities of those with special abilities.
For example, after Marco was handcuffed with Seastone during the Battle of Marineford, the Phoenix's ability could no longer heal his body.
"1495. There's nothing wrong with the time."
Seastone did not appear out of thin air, but has a place of origin.
It is unknown whether there are other seastone veins in the vast ocean. The only known origin of seastone is Wano Country, where there is a large amount of seastone.
The seastone circulating in the open sea is basically smuggled out from Wano Country, although Wano Country closed its borders a long time ago and refused to contact the outside world.
However, smuggling incidents still occur from time to time, and some people leave Wano Country to live in the open sea.
Currently, seastone is also sold in the underground world, and its source is also from Wano Country, but the price is not low. In order to save costs, Orlan needs to try to eliminate some middlemen.
"If nothing unexpected happens at this time, Kaido has already started to take action in Wano Country."
Oran remembered it quite clearly. Three years ago, news about Kozuki Oden appeared in the newspaper. He has now left Wano Country and become a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Last year, Kaido received an invitation from Kurozumi Kuroshin and went to Wano Country. With the purpose of turning it into a weapons production country, he began to invade Wano Country.
Of course, what Kaido does in Wano Country has nothing to do with Oran. He doesn't have the energy to consider the whole world now.
Kaido's ability to intervene in the situation in Wano Country is actually beneficial to Oran. At least he has a way to trade seastone from the source.
"Kate."
"Meow is here."
A cat's head popped out of the window; Kate was always nearby when Orlan was resting.
"Call Absalom for me. I need to speak to him."
"OK."
Soon, Absalom was brought over by Kate.
"Master, what can I do for you?"
After years of training, Absalom's body has become much stronger. The werewolf potion has also enhanced his physique to a certain extent, making him have a completely new change.
"Abu, I have a task for you to do, but it may be dangerous."
"It's okay, Master. Please leave it to me. I can definitely do it well!"
Absalom seemed very excited when he heard about the mission. He felt that being able to carry out a mission independently was a recognition of him by Orlan, and this opportunity was very rare for him.
After gaining Absalom's support, he was a very loyal person. Although his moral level was difficult to evaluate, he was really willing to go through fire and water for his boss.
The fact that he snuck into the monster-filled Marineford and rescued Moria is enough to illustrate this point.
Those who could participate in that war were complete monsters. The elite pirates of the New World and the school-level officers from all over the navy were like cannon fodder.
Either you have connections or you have super luck, or at least you have to have some face, otherwise anyone who breaks into this place will die.
Absalom dared to take this risk and rescue Moriah under the hunting order of the World Government.
"I need you to go to the New World and negotiate a deal with a pirate for me."
Doing business is a science, but sometimes it is very simple. When you know what a person wants and have a monopoly on that type of product, business becomes easy to negotiate.
When making a deal with Charlotte Linlin, food additives are a good thing, and this thing is of strategic significance to the BIG MOM Pirates.
Kaido's preference is more direct - as a user of the Animal-type Devil Fruit, he has an obsession with building an Animal-type army.
But even ordinary animal-type devil fruits are not easy to find, so it is not easy for Kaido to achieve his goal.
In the original timeline, Kaido was interested in the inferior goods that Caesar was researching and kept trading with them, which shows how low Kaido's acceptance threshold is for this thing.
The 2.0 version of the Orc Potion is a necessity for Kaido, and it can be exchanged for the Seastone of Wano Country.
If a deal can be reached, Kaido is still relatively abiding by the rules of the deal. At least when Doflamingo delivered the smile fruit to him, Kaido also exchanged it for weapons.
Although he looks simple-minded, Kaido has a very active mind. He knows very well that this kind of transaction is not suitable for violent robbery, and stable transaction is a better choice.
However, before the deal is done, it is still somewhat dangerous. Moreover, apart from other things, just sailing in the New World is a relatively dangerous thing.
In the short term, Orlan has no plans to immediately expand the number of candidates similar to Absalom, so Absalom is still the only successful example of the experiment.
To close a deal, you have to show results, and Absalom becomes an indispensable part of that.
If it's a money deal, there are still people who can compete with Orlan, but this potion is different.
Oran is confident that as long as Kaido sees the results, he will not be able to refuse the deal.
A potion that costs only a few million berries can be worth tens of millions or even a hundred million berries to Kaido.
A complete animal-type devil fruit can be sold for 100 million berries, and this incomplete half-orc form is not expensive at all at 50 million.
This can be regarded as a final exam for Absalom. If he can successfully complete this task, we can try to entrust him with important tasks.
"That's the situation. If you're worried about the danger, I can send someone else."
"No, Master, leave this matter to me. Please rest assured that I will definitely bring you a satisfactory answer."
After learning the detailed bottom line and content of the transaction from Orlan, Absalom still did not back down.
"Very good, then I'll leave this matter to you."
Although Orlan described the journey as dangerous, in reality, it was not that exaggerated.
When letting Absalom negotiate the deal, it is naturally impossible to just give him a mission objective and let him rely on himself for everything. Oran has arranged many things in advance.
For example, a merchant ship from the underground world will take him to the vicinity of Wano Country, where there will be someone responsible for receiving him.
As Absalom packed his bags and set off, Orlan dialed an old number.
Bulu Bulu~
The Den Den Mushi made regular chirping sounds, and along with the transmission of bio-waves, a microphone was picked up in the distant country of Wano.
"Hey, who is that? Aren't you sleeping so late at night?"
Oran is located close to the entrance of the Grand Line, while Wano Country is located further back in the New World, so there is a big time difference between the two.
Although the sky on Firefly Island has already brightened, Wano Country is still in darkness.
"Early to bed and early to rise are good for your health. It's already dawn here."
"Oran? What? Have you decided to become a pirate? If you come, Brother Kaido will definitely prepare a high-ranking cadre position for you."
Hearing that familiar voice, Quinn perked up.
According to Oran's personality, he would definitely not call him if there was nothing wrong. Quinn really wanted to know what Oran wanted to do.
"No thanks. I have no interest in being a pirate. It seems like you've been doing pretty well in Beasts lately."
"Mhahaha, of course. I'm now an important member of the Beasts Pirates and Kaido's right-hand man, so my words are still very effective."
To be precise, there are not many useful people under Kaido's command now. Apart from King from the Lunalia tribe, there is only Quinn, and the rest are all small fry.
In a team of only three people, Quinn naturally became the third.
"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. You're in Wano Country now, right? I have a deal to discuss with you."
"How do you know I'm in Wano Country now?"
Their entry into Wano Country should be a very secretive matter. At least the Whitebeard Pirates don't know what's happening here at the moment. The closed environment of Wano Country makes it difficult for news to spread.
"I have my own intelligence network. This isn't important. What's important is asking your captain for me if he's interested in the beast transformation potion."
"What did you say?!"
