The knife that ate the devil fruit (X)
A weapon that seals a devil fruit (√)
Although the descriptions of the two seem similar and their abilities are similar, both allow weapons to possess the abilities of devil fruits.
But there are some differences. The latter may be richer in terms of ability level, and if this form of expression is replaced by another creature, it can be called Darkin.
The Darkin refer to the fallen Ascendants. Those Ascendants who participated in the War to Seale the Void suffered heavy losses, and the surviving Ascendants were also infected by the void energy.
When the Shurima Empire still existed, these Ascended Ones could still control themselves, but after the last emperor Azir went wrong during his ascension ceremony, he was betrayed by Xerath and stole the energy of the Ascension Disc, which led to the destruction of Shurima, the Ascended Ones lost control.
Without the royal bloodline of Shurima, the Ascended were leaderless and acted independently, becoming even more tyrannical due to the influence of the Darkin energy.
Eventually, he went from being a guardian to a destroyer of the continent, and was called the Darkspawn by others.
The "despicable" "Papaya Protoss" helped humans seal them and confined the Darkin in weapons. Although this solved the Darkin crisis, these weapons still had the ability to corrupt their holders.
If anyone comes into contact with these Darkin weapons, the Darkin will be resurrected.
Of course, these are just some devil fruits, and the situations here won't be that exaggerated.
Vegapunk had made a breakthrough in making weapons "eat" devil fruits as early as MADS. If there is any difference between Orlan's experimental project this time and previous projects, it is that there are two swords.
There aren't many people who can make Orlan fight on his own, and even fewer who can let Orlan fight in close combat after this condition is met.
Over time, it was easy to forget that Orlan was a dual-wielder.
A weapon that has eaten a devil fruit will have its own consciousness. To be more precise, a weapon that has eaten an animal-type devil fruit will have the will of an animal.
This is also the reason why in experimental projects, most of the fruits that can be combined with weapons are animal-type fruits.
Usually, this consciousness will still regard the original owner of the weapon as its own owner and cooperate with the owner.
For the two swords, if each sword is given a fruit, it will become a cooperation between three people, and the difficulty of cooperation will increase. Therefore, the goal of Oran's experiment this time is to let the two swords have the ability of the same fruit and give corresponding upgrades.
The fruit is the Dog-Dog Fruit: Snow Wolf Form, an ordinary animal-type devil fruit, nothing surprising about it.
The sword was a gift from Zephyr back then. Although it is ranked among the twenty-first great swords and is a very rare pair of swords, it is said to have been made by the Utsuki family in Wano Country and is the last weapon to be circulated, but it is not too novel.
But in today's lab, both the weapon and the fruit are finally given new life.
The two swords, like creatures trapped in a swamp, gradually sank into a pool of special liquid.
It was a special liquid transformed from a devil fruit. As the weapon sank, the liquid seemed to have life, wrapping around the blade and eventually merging into one.
"Ouch!"
A white wolf lay at Orlan's feet. Because it had fused two swords, the tail and mouth dragging behind it had the shape of swords.
If that were the case, it would only be considered a successful fusion experiment, but Kate arrived here shortly after Oran had Shuangdao eat the devil fruit.
Looking at Oran stroking a white dog's head, she widened her eyes, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
"Olan, you actually like dogs?"
As a cat-fur person, Kate has never been fond of dogs.
Absalom's transformation is at least based on the genes of the dire wolf. Although it looks similar to a dog in Kate's eyes, there is still a big difference between wolves and dogs in ancient times, so it is still acceptable.
But as a common species in modern times, the snow wolf is also closer to the domesticated dog, especially the wolf. Or the pair of knives are now in an "intimate" state with Orlan.
Not only is it rubbing its head and even wagging its tail, it's even more like a dog.
Kate had always felt that Orlan was a member of the Cat Party, but now this feeling was very strange to Kate.
"I have to correct you, first of all, I do prefer cats to dogs.
Secondly, this is not a dog, but a wolf.
Even though they are all canines, they are different. Change back."
After speaking to Kate, Orlan pointed at the snow wolf at his feet and gave his orders. Under his master's command, it quickly changed back into the shape of a knife, but compared to the original weapon, it had become a completely different form.
There was a claw print pattern on the hilt, the guard was covered with a layer of snow-white fur, and the scabbard seemed to have undergone some changes. At this time, the two scabbards were tightly stuck together and could not be separated.
Kate's tail hanging behind her was slightly raised at this time, and the high-speed swinging tail seemed to reveal a kind of joy. She couldn't interfere with anything, but she still cared about Oran's personal hobbies.
But Oran's experiment did not end there. Fusing the two swords with the same devil fruit was only the first step. The second step was to upgrade and transform them through high-precision prosthetic parts.
If this happened in the world of Project Origin, each of these parts would be sold at a sky-high price. No organization, including the city's top wealthy individuals, would refuse this cutting-edge technology.
Crush, reassemble, and complete.
Whether this is biological modification or weapon forging has become a difficult question to define.
A red mask was placed on the wolf's head, a few energy blade launchers appeared on its tail, and its claws were replaced with metal talons.
However, the transformed creature became a completely new creature, and this model is usually called Project Wild Hunt Nayafili by the company.
After the wolf form was transformed, even the sword form underwent a special change. Compared with the original double swords full of ancient style, it now has a sense of future technology.
In addition to the ordinary sword form and the wolf form that can move freely, there is also a sword wolf form.
As Orlan swung his two swords, although the handles were still held in his hands, the blades flew out separately.
And there are not one, but two small Nayafils, and they can even merge into a larger one while attacking the target.
From now on, the original name of the swords no longer matters, but has been updated by Orlan to Nayafil.
Perhaps one day, this pair of living swords will be able to use their own abilities to become the new supreme swords and change the number of weapons.
"Okay Kate, do you have anything else?"
"A doctor has come to the island and he says Orlani might want to see him."
Kate had come here before to report this matter, but Orlan had been under experimentation.
In Kate's opinion, the importance of this matter was not as great as Oran's own research, so she was not in a hurry and waited until Oran completed his weapons experiment before telling him about it.
"Which doctor?"
"My name is Kurokas. I've been on Roger's ship as a temporary ship doctor before."
"Kurokas, let's go check on him later."
The World Government's attitude towards Roger is very strange. After Roger became the recognized Pirate King, the World Government's biggest goal was to eliminate the influence of the Will of D, not anything else.
After Roger surrendered himself and died, a large-scale manhunt was launched within a certain area in order to eliminate Roger's bloodline.
All children born within ten months of his imprisonment were subjected to a thorough search, and pregnant women were no exception. Those who were considered suspicious were killed directly, and those who were not suspicious were released.
Even Tom, who built the ship for Roger, was implicated, but other members of Roger's pirate group did not receive this treatment.
It's okay for Rayleigh to live in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago for who knows how many years, and Kurokus is taking good care of Lab in the Twin Gorges.
It is not known whether the others retired or were purged, but Shanks and Buggy, the two people who clearly went out to sea as pirates, did not suffer this treatment.
Especially Buggy. Even though he was imprisoned in Impel Down, the navy did not realize at first that he was Roger's crew member. It was only after Luffy and his crew escaped from prison that they found out about this.
It can be said that the World Government's focus is ridiculously strange. After the Roger Pirates disbanded, his crew members seemed to have become innocent passers-by.
Therefore, Roger himself had not come, but just had a few words with a doctor, which would not cause any trouble at all.
In the town of Firefly Island, Kurokas was walking on the street like a tourist.
In the original timeline, shortly after Roger disbanded the pirate group, Crocus returned directly to Gemini Cape to resume his position as a lighthouse keeper, but now he has a new place to go.
He didn't just wait there. After all, he came here for some personal matters, such as getting to know the environment here.
As a doctor, he also has a strong interest in studying medical skills. If he can handle the problem of Lab, it is not impossible for him to work here.
Kurokas still hasn't forgotten what Orlan said.
And what Oran said was not just a compliment. Famous doctors are welcome on every island.
An island with a large number of famous doctors will naturally become the economic center of the surrounding area, provided that the king of this country is a normal person and the doctors have similar ideas.
There is no doubt that Piltover's hospital has gaps, and Orlan himself represents a top expert.
Orlan is not only good at replacing parts as a treatment method, he has also done considerable research on other medical methods.
With high welfare benefits, there is no shortage of grassroots doctors. Some are regularized from immigrants, and some are recruited from other countries, such as the Drum Kingdom.
The treatment of primary care doctors in Piltover is much better than in other countries, and it is relatively close to the Drum Kingdom, so it is not considered leaving home, so some young people have made this choice.
But the old doctor was different. Even a king like Wapol, who, after coming to power, spent every day thinking about what kind of laws to make so that he could rule the people in a more stringent manner, knew to keep the medical group of Doctor 20 to serve him.
Therefore, experienced doctors are generally paid better and most of them are unwilling to leave their hometown to work in a non-member country.
This has led to a large gap among outstanding medical members, and if someone like Kurokas joins, he will be able to fill this gap.
"Move aside, old man, please don't block the way and let me pass, okay?"
A man walked past Kulokas pushing a cart of cat climbing frames. It was a new order from the cat cafe, so that the cats there could have a better rest after work.
Over the years, Orlan discovered the peculiarity of the cats on this island in his spare time. Due to the special conditions of the Grand Line, many creatures that do not exist in the outside world have been created, and these cats are very different from ordinary cats.
Although they look similar, in addition to being smarter, they also have lower fertility rates and longer lifespans.
This is also a good thing for Oran, otherwise if their numbers grow too exaggeratedly, the impact will be great.
These cats are not wild cats but police cats. If they are sterilized, the impact may not be very good.
It's impossible for them to change from training police cats to training organizations like East Cat Factory and West Cat Factory.
While Kurokas was still strolling on the street, a mechanical wolf suddenly appeared not far from him. A string of codes flashed on its red mask, and it quickly locked onto the other party's identity.
This is naturally Nayafil. After the transformation, in addition to serving as an ordinary weapon, Nayafil also has more uses.
However, the transformation of this Source Project had a not-so-good effect, which was that Nayafili now looked very ferocious.
It can still have a considerable deterrent effect on the enemy, but this is domestic.
If Nayafili didn't have the Piltover logo on his body, he would probably have been captured by the police. It is not a good thing to have a vicious dog roaming the streets of the city.
Kulokas' heart also tightened when he saw Nayafili just now.
Although he always said when he got older:
"You could kill someone if you do that."
"Who will die?"
"I."
This kind of words.
But in fact, Kurokas is quite powerful.
Possessing incredible hunting skills, he was able to bring down a giant squid with a single blow. Possessing immense stamina, he was a member of the Roger Pirates during their battle against the Whitebeard Pirates.
According to reliable sources, Buggy discovered the secret of Blackbeard not sleeping for three days and three nights during this battle.
At the same time, according to gossip, Bucky discovered this by staring at the other party for three days and three nights.
However, a character appeared on Nayafili's optical mask - [Follow me].
After hesitating for a moment, Kurokas followed and finally saw Orlan sitting on a wicker chair under a windmill.
There was no such chair here originally, but Frankenstein liked to rest here, so Orlan specially built some private facilities here.
"Long time no see, Dr. Kulokas. Have you decided to work for me?"
"I'm still thinking about it. I'm here to convey a message for someone else.
You know Roger's situation. Although it took much longer than scheduled, he was already exhausted.
He's grateful to you for letting him fight to the fullest in his final days without quitting drinking, so let me give this to you."
First of all, there are a lot of rumors about pirates. Some of them are just made up, but as they spread, everyone believes them.
The cleanup after Roger was imprisoned was one aspect, and innocent people were indeed affected, but there was no indiscriminate massacre.
Another similar story is the Golden Lion. The original work only said that the Golden Lion attacked Marineford and was captured by Garp and Sengoku, but never mentioned three days and three nights. The three days and three nights was a purely secondary setting, although this one can also be used.
