"The reason I'm telling you about this situation is just to give you a clear understanding of the hidden dangers of Chakra. In reality, as a nearly perfect biological energy source, we certainly cannot stop eating for fear of choking and completely discard it just because of some risks."
Vegapunk spoke to Nico Robin in an indifferent tone, "As for the hidden dangers—don't forget, I am Vegapunk!"
This tone could be described as incredibly arrogant. At least, the two Snow Ninjas being studied behind Vegapunk felt that this guy was really good at bragging. They didn't really believe in things like the hidden dangers of Chakra or the Ninja World being a nursery—after all, a frog at the bottom of a well can only see a patch of sky.
However, Nico Robin didn't feel that Vegapunk was bragging at all. After all, in the One Piece World, she was Vegapunk's assistant and had the best understanding of his research capabilities. She knew very well how monstrous the Blond Youth in front of her truly was.
Standing on the other side, Hancock was squirming all over, her face flushed red, and her eyes had almost turned pink. She looked at Vegapunk with an infatuated expression, "Lord Vegapunk is so handsome!"
Vegapunk didn't mind. In fact, research in the Naruto World was far easier than in the One Piece World because the final answers were already laid out before him—the Bloodline Encompassing formed by Chakra fusion, and the complete Ōtsutsuki body through genetic reverse-engineering. This was the endpoint of the Naruto World's system.
Setting Chakra research aside for a moment, Vegapunk already had a wealth of accumulation in terms of genetics, making it easy for him to get started.
Furthermore, the Naruto World possessed the extraordinary power of Chakra. With the help of this power, many black box technologies could be created.
In a world without extraordinary power, building the edifice of science is like building a model of a skyscraper purely out of matches. Every single match is incredibly important and must be placed in the exact required position to support the model.
If even one match is missing, or if a match is placed crookedly or with insufficient precision, the edifice of science cannot be built. In such a precise system, removing any single match could cause the entire building to collapse in an instant.
In a world with extraordinary power, that power acts like a universal adhesive. Science is the construction of skyscrapers, and in an extraordinary world, due to the effect of the adhesive, people can skip countless difficult problems and use large amounts of adhesive to easily build the edifice of science high up.
Of course, the technological development of a normal world involves knowing not just that something works, but why it works. Although progress is slow, the foundation is deep and the theories are clear; sometimes theory even precedes practice. In terms of long-term development potential, it is actually more powerful than an extraordinary world.
Vegapunk was able to achieve far more than his original self. It must be said that various theories from the real world played a huge role. Even if he wasn't a scientist in his previous life, he at least had a general concept of those cutting-edge theories, which was enough to serve as a direction for progress.
"Alright, the Chakra extraction and compression is complete!" A moment later, Vegapunk spoke up, "You can try out the newly extracted chakra seed. It should be able to directly grant you Ice Release abilities."
The originally pure blue Chakra inside the machine was extracted from Fukabuki Dotou. But even though he was the strongest in the Land of Snow, he didn't actually possess a true Ice Release Bloodline Limit.
To be precise, a pure Ice Release Bloodline Limit should be a fusion of Wind Release Chakra and Water Release Chakra. It would even change the user's genes, making it easier for their descendants to naturally awaken Ice Release.
The Ninjas of the Land of Snow actually just mixed Wind Release and Water Release Chakra together; they completely failed to reach the standard of fusion. By relying on the unique climate of the Land of Snow, they managed to give this neither-fish-nor-fowl Ninjutsu the appearance of Ice Release.
In fact, if they changed locations, these Ice Release techniques would just be slightly cooler Water Release mixed with some ice chunks.
After Vegapunk extracted Fukabuki Dotou's Chakra, he used the machine to re-fuse and compress his Chakra, eventually manufacturing it into a pure Ice-attribute chakra seed. According to his estimation, it should allow the possessor to directly awaken Ice Release.
This was also because Nico Robin and Boa Hancock themselves had no Chakra. If it were someone from this world who already possessed Chakra, this chakra seed would be immediately contaminated upon entering the body, rendering it ineffective.
The Snow Ninja standing behind Vegapunk curled his lip. Was Ice Release really that easy to develop? The Snow Ninjas of the Land of Snow had poured their hearts and souls into developing true Ice Release, yet after several generations, they could only produce such a half-finished product. One could only imagine the difficulty of developing a Bloodline Limit.
Just by manipulating this broken machine a few times, you can make someone directly awaken Ice Release? If this is true, I'll eat this broken machine on the spot!
"Let me try!" Nico Robin reached out her hand and grasped the chakra seed, which was spinning like a glowing orb inside the machine.
The chakra seed instantly fused into Nico Robin's body. She gave a sharp shiver, feeling as if a stream of power was constantly moving within her, seemingly awakening some hidden ability within her cells.
A moment later, Nico Robin felt that the stream of Chakra in her body had completely dissolved. Then, she gently closed her eyes, recalling the Chakra Refinement Technique she had only recently learned, and began to refine Chakra within her body.
Unlike when she first learned the Chakra Refinement Technique and gained nothing from it, her originally lifeless cells seemed to wake up in an instant. With the stimulation of spiritual energy, wisps of energy revived from her cells, mixing into Chakra energy.
"So... such powerful Chakra energy! How can Chakra be this strong? This is several times stronger than a Jonin's, isn't it? No, it might even be more than ten times stronger!" The minor Snow Ninja character shouted in surprise, his expression one of utter shock.
Vegapunk was not surprised. Without the Ōtsutsuki bloodline, a person's individual Chakra capacity is closely related to their physical stamina.
Although Nico Robin had also undergone scientific training and modification, her physical strength in the One Piece World was only considered not subpar; she couldn't even be ranked among the powerhouses. However, compared to the constitutions of the people in the Naruto World, she was far stronger.
After all, people in the One Piece World are true damage sponges. Any slightly famous powerhouse being invulnerable to blades and spears or tanking bullets and cannons is basic operation. Even if an ordinary person is blown seven or eight meters into the air, it's common for them to get up, wipe away some blood, and be perfectly fine.
Whereas in the Naruto World, aside from certain monsters with body modifications, even someone like the Third Raikage would still be stabbed to death by a Kunai without his Lightning Release Chakra Armor. Nico Robin's physical strength, which was only considered decent in the One Piece World, was already close to the ceiling in the Naruto World.
