"Directly have Vegapunk mass-produce them for him.
"System prompt: Artificial Devil Fruits can be used to redeem items in the shop, but the ratio is ten to one."
"Ten artificial Devil Fruits are equivalent to the redemption value of one Devil Fruit."
"Ten to one?"
El pondered with his chin in his hand.
After a moment of silence, El glanced at the pirate and commanded, "Have him come see me."
Although the ratio was ten to one, couldn't Vegapunk mass-produce artificial Devil Fruits for him?
"Yes, Lord El!"
Upon receiving the order, the pirate quickly went to find Vegapunk, who had previously wished to meet El.
A moment later.
El had already arrived at a tavern and was enjoying fine wine.
"Creak creak creak!!!"
As the tavern door slowly opened, a man appeared in El's sight.
"Lord El, this is the man who claims to be Vegapunk."
El took a brief look at Vegapunk standing before him.
Then he waved to the pirate and said, "You may leave now."
"Yes, Lord El!"
After saying this, the pirate closed the tavern door.
Only El and Vegapunk remained.
"Can you already create Devil Fruits now?"
El cut to the chase and asked directly.
"Currently, I have discovered the lineage factors within Devil Fruits, but due to insufficient funds, I cannot continue my research."
"If Mr. El can provide me with sufficient financial support, then I am 100% confident that I can utilize the lineage factors within Devil Fruits to create Devil Fruits!"
Vegapunk stated truthfully.
Lineage factors can be understood as DNA.
Humans have lineage factors, and Devil Fruits also contain lineage factors.
Vegapunk, after years of researching Devil Fruits.
Successfully researched and extracted the lineage factors from Devil Fruits.
In his opinion, as long as he was given enough time.
He could transfer the abilities of the lineage factors to ordinary fruits.
And thus create an artificial Devil Fruit!
However, while the plan was promising, the research had cost him a significant amount of funds.
He no longer had enough funds to continue his research.
To obtain sufficient funds.
Vegapunk learned through his investigations that the organization created by El.
Was desperately searching for Devil Fruits worldwide.
And since he had discovered the lineage factors within Devil Fruits, he was confident in his ability to create artificial Devil Fruits.
Therefore, he set sail from the Grand Line to the New World to meet El.
Requesting financial support from him.
"Is that so."
El naturally believed Vegapunk's words.
After all, Vegapunk in the original story did indeed research the first artificial Devil Fruit.
"So, can Mr. El provide funds for my research?" Vegapunk requested.
"No problem."
Because El had established a commission agency, he possessed countless wealth.
However... he had no interest in money, only in Devil Fruits.
In his view, investing money in Vegapunk now.
Was equivalent to exchanging money for Devil Fruits.
This was naturally a profitable deal for him!
"Then thank you, Lord El. However... besides financial support, I also need Mr. El's help with one more thing."
"What help?"
"I am researching some forbidden things, and it might cause some trouble if others find out. Therefore, I request Mr. El to send some people to protect me."
"Certainly."
El nodded.
He lacked nothing more than subordinates and money.
If he could use these two things he valued least.
To help Vegapunk and have him develop an endless supply of Devil Fruits for him.
This would undoubtedly be a very profitable transaction for him!
"Then thank you, Mr. El. I will definitely do my best to develop artificial Devil Fruits for Mr. El as soon as possible!"
"No need for pleasantries. We are just trading. However, I will only give you a limited time for research. I expect to see results by then, and if not, you know the consequences."
El was well aware that Vegapunk was not only researching artificial Devil Fruits.
But also other strange and peculiar things.
Therefore, to ensure Vegapunk focused on researching artificial Devil Fruits.
And to deliver results to him as soon as possible.
He specifically issued a warning.
"Of course, I will not disappoint you, Mr. El!"
"That's good then."
El stood up and patted his shoulder.
Then he ordered his subordinates to give Vegapunk a large sum of money.
He also dispatched many strong individuals to escort Vegapunk back to the Future Country.
Furthermore, he instructed these individuals to focus on protecting Vegapunk and eliminating any danger.
...
Time passed quickly, and a long period went by.
During this time, many major events occurred in the New World.
For example, Kaido and Shiki announced their alliance to the world.
Kyo, Ochoku, and John, realizing the precarious state of the seas.
Also announced their alliance to the world.
Of course, this was not the most explosive news.
After this, news spread throughout the New World that Roger had reached the final island, Laugh Tale!
Roger, as the first man to reach the final island.
Was also crowned the title of Pirate King by the world.
However, not long after Roger became the Pirate King.
New shocking news spread throughout the New World.
That is, Roger was arrested by Vice Admiral Garp of Marine Headquarters!
Moreover, the Marines announced to the entire world that in one week.
There would be a public execution in Loguetown, East Blue!
.....
At the summit of the Red Line, in a desolate area.
At this moment, this region was filled with dense fog, and sand and stones flew everywhere.
Looking around, the ground was completely broken, with not a single intact piece of land.
In the center of the battlefield.
Two terrifying figures were locked in combat.
The two combatants were none other than Garp and the scarred elder Gorosei!
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Their fists collided continuously, unleashing incredibly powerful forces.
Each punch exchanged caused immense destruction to the surrounding ground.
It even created terrifying ripples that spread for hundreds of meters.
Garp charged his fist, imbued with Armament and Conqueror's Haki, and with all his might, he struck the scarred elder.
