The second-generation potion is much milder than the third-generation potion. Although the pirates who have been injected with the potion can feel pain in their bodies, it is still within the tolerable range.
The skin on the pirate's back became very rough under the influence of the potion, and finally condensed into pieces of scales.
His fingers also became thicker than before, but his face did not change much. Through this potion, the pirate successfully obtained a special "biological exoskeleton".
"Hehe, is this the second generation potion? It looks pretty good. It's still acceptable for this level."
"Well, it should be a pangolin, Brother Kaido, maybe we can try to specify an animal, so that we can better enhance our combat power."
Quinn has a wealth of knowledge of biology. Through the changes in the scales on the pirate's back, he has already seen the source of his ability, but soon Quinn realized a new problem.
This thing is not a devil fruit, so without an illustrated guide, we don't know what abilities it has.
Since it is man-made, there should be a method to specify its type.
"No, there's no need. At this level, quantity is more important than quality.
I'm afraid it would cost more to order specific items, but this is about enough."
In Kaido's eyes, pirates of this level are not considered cadres.
As we all know, Kaido is essentially a double standard monster. Only by gaining his recognition and preference can you realize this.
"Joker, it's because you are too weak."
This was the evaluation Kaido gave when Doflamingo was defeated in the original timeline, but when it was Jack's turn to be defeated, Kaido changed his rhetoric.
"Jack, it's not your fault. The enemy is too strong."
Ultimately, Kaido alone has the final say on how to judge this matter.
It doesn't matter to Kaido if the people he values point at him and scold him, but an ordinary soldier might be hit by a mace when Kaido is drunk.
Rather than specifying specific types, Kaido still hopes to expand the number so that his animal army has more members.
"Is this the power of that potion?"
"Hmph, you torturer won't understand. This is the revolution brought about by technology. So, don't underestimate me. Orlan and I used to be colleagues. One day I'll make something amazing for you to see."
Seeing that Jhin was observing the changes in the people who had undergone the potion transformation, Quinn's tone became more proud, but he did not get any response from Jhin.
After all, Jhin doesn't understand what other people's excellence has to do with Quinn.
"Is this the power of the potion? Now bullets shouldn't be able to penetrate it."
The transformed pirate bumped his arms a few times, and the touch of the scales made him very satisfied.
As a soldier, bullets could take his life at any time. With this layer of scale armor, he has a new way to save his life.
"Lord Quinn, it's my turn. I'm ready!"
Although they have become a little uglier in appearance, for these people, strength is far more important than appearance.
According to Quinn's previous introduction, the third generation can transform back into human form, which makes the remaining pirates even more excited.
But sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
During the transformation process, the intense pain caused him to faint.
Ultimately, the transformation was unsuccessful and he was tortured for nothing. In the end, he received Kaido's disdainful look and was dragged out directly.
"It seems the second generation is more stable, but the third generation still looks stronger. Quinn, what do you think would happen if one person used the third and second generations for transformation at the same time?"
Kaido stroked his beard and thought, and raised a new question, which happened to be Quinn's blind spot in knowledge.
Finally, I learned the product introduction and Absalom answered the question.
[Pharmacy transformation is not reproducible. After a successful transformation, it is not recommended to perform multiple transformations, as this may lead to unknown consequences.]
[Most abilities are mammals, which have a higher chance of success. Other species are also available, but the second-generation potion has some mixes during production, so the types are random. Specific types require additional money.]
In short, the two sides reached a preliminary friendly deal and established a stable channel. Absalom also received the first deposit and made preparations to return.
Unlike the false peace in Wano Country, a great turmoil is taking place on the ocean outside.
Garp chased Roger for an unknown amount of time but was unable to completely stop him, but others did it.
In the waters of Edwall, the gloomy sky is filled with a depressing atmosphere, and the surging waves dance on the sea, adding a few new dangers to the voyage.
In the central area, a pirate ship was anchored here. Roger stood on the deck with the same smile on his face.
Dozens of pirate ships surrounded Roger's Golden Jackson, leaving no way out.
Countless pirate flags are flying above the ships, but these pirate ships all belong to the same group - the Flying Pirates.
They are all pirates under the Golden Lion, and they came here on the orders of the Golden Lion.
"Roger! Although we had some grudges in the past few years, let's let it go with the wind now.
I heard that you have found the whereabouts of that legendary weapon, right?
I have enough troops and plans, you and I are enough to rule the world! Come and be my right hand, Roger!
The admiral of the Flying Pirates, the user of the Float-Float Fruit, and now one of the most powerful pirates on the sea, Shiki the Golden Lion, has extended his invitation to Roger.
Faced with enormous pressure, all members of Roger's pirate group are ready for battle, except for one person - Buggy.
"There are too many enemies! Captain Roger, just agree to his request for now. We can talk about other things after we escape from here!"
"Hahaha, Buggy, aren't you already a superpower user? You can't be killed no matter how hard you chop, so why are you still scared?"
Thanks to Shanks's slap, Buggy accidentally ate the Fracture Fruit some time ago.
Originally he just wanted to sell the fruit for money, but he didn't want to share it with others, so he hid the fruit secretly, and ended up meeting Shanks.
Buggy panicked at the time and chose to hide the fruit with his mouth, stuffing the devil fruit into his mouth.
The result is self-evident. He became a landlubber and could never swim again, and countless treasures were lost to him.
"Having many weaknesses is a good thing, isn't it? Just listen to him for once. Mr. Crocus, how is the captain's condition? Is he unfit for battle? Stop him now!"
"It's a shame, but the Captain is in great shape now. Thanks to Dr. Sidiliel's medicine, the Captain can now fight with all his might!"
"Give up, Buggy. You've known Roger for so long, and when have you ever seen him change his mind? Get ready to fight."
"Yes, I believe in the boat Mr. Tom built for me. We will definitely be able to break out this time!"
Jabba picked up his axe and prepared for battle, and everyone else did the same thing except Bucky.
"I have no interest in ruling the world, Shiki! Pirates are supposed to do what they want!"
The war is about to break out, but Gol D. Roger is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. Even if he can exert his full strength, the Golden Lion will not be easy to deal with, not to mention that there are many monsters among the cadres under the Golden Lion.
The Roger Pirates were temporarily at a disadvantage. As time went by, abnormal conditions appeared on the sea. The climate in the New World was extremely changeable, and a tsunami was approaching.
This horrific tsunami completely reversed the course of the war, and this battle is also known as the Battle of Edwall.
While this naval battle was taking place, night fell once again in Piltover.
Absalom had previously brought good news to Orlan, stating that he would return here with the first batch of seastone in a while.
Absalom couldn't teleport, so even if the deal was reached, he wouldn't be able to fly back.
In Orlan's studio, a design drawing for Galio was basically completed.
Based on the density of seastone, Orlan made some modifications to the design.
Looking at the orange cat that served as a paperweight on his desk, Oran touched its back, signaling it could leave, and then went into break. This time, the time and location of his appearance were even more peculiar.
The language around was obscure and difficult to understand, and it seemed that it was not the common language of the Valoran world. It took some time for Orlan to accept the situation of this new world.
This is a glorious city, but the residents all look very tired because they are facing a terrible war.
"Lord Sidilir, Lord Nezuk has requested that everyone attend a meeting. It is time for you to depart."
'Wait a minute, I'll be right there.'
Outside the tent, a soldier dressed in special attire walked in. If one saw the mark on his body, one would know where he came from - Shurima.
Ancient Shurima, to be exact.
For a long period of history, ancient Shurima ruled the entire known world, creating an empire with countless people, invincible and unparalleled.
That was an important period in the world of Valoran. The powerful Shurima Empire was like the sun, shining on everything.
But once the people of Icathia made their decision, everything became irreversible.
In order to fight against Shurima, Icathia chose to contact the Void, and their mages opened an irreversible door, allowing the Void to come here.
This was also the most difficult enemy the Shurima Empire had encountered in its long history since its founding.
The power of the Void spread from the ruins of Icathia like a plague, and as time passed, it even reached Ixtal, a place in the jungle at the southernmost tip of the continent.
"Lord Nezuk."
A tall figure had been waiting in the tent for a long time.
The reason why Shurima is so powerful is that it relies on the power of the Sun Disc to create the Ascended.
The powerful Ascended Ones are like gods, possessing long lifespans and unimaginable power. As a former elemental mage of Ixtal, Nezuk is also a member of the Ascended Army.
Since the arrival of the Void, the situation in Shurima has become increasingly difficult.
Even the most powerful ascender, the legendary ascended warrior queen Setaka, met with misfortune.
Nezuk petitioned the Emperor to create a weapon powerful enough to counter the Void and completely eradicate the source of the Void's original eruption.
"Everyone, I have waited for you for a long time. This is a battle of honor for Shurima, for the continent, for your families and for yourselves!
This isn't the front line, but it's like it. The days ahead will be tough, but I hope you can persevere!
What Nezuk would build was a "stone," a powerful floating fortress, manned and maintained by a group of the greatest elemental mages, and upon its ramparts would ride other god-warriors.
"Sidilir, you have done a good job and worked hard. Once we win, we will not treat you unfairly.
I hope your rich knowledge will be appreciated and your day of ascension will come."
The way Shurima's ascension ceremony selects candidates is very special, but as long as you are selected, it is a chance to reach the sky in one step.
This stone took several months to build and is called a monolith.
Orlan was interested in it because he saw a new way of thinking about manipulating stones, so he seemed to enjoy it on a day when others were very anxious.
Nezuk was confident in the battle, believing the sorcery and magic he could unleash through the monolith was enough to wipe out entire civilizations or turn entire continents into memories.
But even with such power, even when it was all released on the void, it failed to destroy the opponent.
"Ordinary people, leave Monolith! You are no longer qualified to participate in the subsequent battles!"
Nazuk summoned his fellow Ascendants and planned to make a final desperate charge, but this battle did not achieve the desired effect. The single stone collapsed and turned into numerous fragments.
Even among those powerful ascenders, only Nazuk survived.
These have no effect on Orlan. He is not from this era, and these things are just fragments of memories in his life.
What really deserves Orlan's attention is the single stone.
This city-sized weapon is little known, but the fragments of the monolith are universally known, often referred to as Malphite - the clever stone man.
Similar to Galio, Malphite is also a life form made of rock. Although he is not a magic stone, he has the same effect.
"Using Galio's behavior pattern to create, and Malphite's operating pattern to activate. No, the elemental magic isn't strong enough. Will I need Terra in the end?"
Both Galio and Malphite are products close to the magic side.
Now Orlan is trying to change their tracks, from things on the magic side to products on the technological side. The difficulty is not low at all, but as long as a breakthrough is achieved, many problems can be solved.
For example, if a complete single stone is used to make such a war weapon, even if ancient weapons come, they have to go around it.
Although the Single Stone Plan failed, that was because the opponent was the Void. To quote Kaido, it was because the enemy was too strong, so there was nothing they could do. But it is different here, it will be the purest dimensionality reduction attack.
"There's still a long way to go. Once Abu comes back, we can start a project in this area."
