This method of directly striking Haoshoku Haki into the opponent's body could cause immense damage. Especially near the brain, taking one hit would basically turn someone into a vegetable.
However, Hancock restrained the power of her Haoshoku Haki, merely using a loose form of Haoshoku to deliver a shock directly to his mind. It was roughly equivalent to a Haoshoku mental shock boosted dozens of times, which easily knocked Nagato unconscious.
After all, Haoshoku grows along with the host's own growth. Since Hancock's strength had increased so much, the power of her Haoshoku had naturally skyrocketed many times over.
"Done, darling!" Hancock clapped her hands and approached Vegapunk with a look that practically begged for praise. Vegapunk gently stroked her long hair and back: "Good job, as expected of Hancock."
Hancock, her face flushed pink, was easily appeased. Then Vegapunk directly used a Sealing Technique to seal the unconscious Nagato's Chakra and took him straight to the laboratory.
After the teleportation array was completed, all of Vegapunk's laboratories had been linked as one. Therefore, Hancock and Vegapunk took him directly from the Moon to the base in Roulan.
In fact, even other countries had begun to implement teleportation arrays. Although they could currently only transport emergency supplies and important personnel, according to Vegapunk's estimates, in another ten years or so, all major cities in this world should be connected by teleportation arrays.
In the Roulan base, Yakushi Nono arrived at Vegapunk's laboratory with a look of tension, faintly mixed with a bit of excitement and a distorted, fanatical attachment.
"My Lord, I am here... Do you need me to serve you?"
Vegapunk looked up at Yakushi Nono and shook his head. He pointed to the restraint bed in the lab, where Nagato lay with his eyes closed: "There is serious work to do this time. I'm going to perform brain surgery on this guy, and you will be my assistant!"
Yakushi Nono was slightly stunned, her face reddening. However, she had been Konoha's ace spy after all, and she quickly calmed down: "Yes, My Lord... Is this a very important person?"
"He is indeed quite important... Controlling this guy completely won't be easy."
Vegapunk said as he picked up a scalpel. As the owner of the Rinnegan, Nagato was extremely difficult to control, and Vegapunk wasn't sure if a quantum transmitter could hold him.
After all, the Rinnegan had coexisted with Nagato for so long that it had almost deeply modified his bloodline. Otherwise, Nagato wouldn't still possess the power of the Rinnegan after being brought back by Edo Tensei.
Even if Nagato's Rinnegan only counted as a flawed Six Paths level power, Vegapunk didn't have full confidence in controlling him.
And if he made a Clone, not only would it act somewhat stiffly, but the resources required wouldn't be small either.
After thinking it over, Vegapunk planned to directly modify his brain. This would allow Nagato to retain his memories while becoming a complete puppet.
This was exactly why Vegapunk had called Yakushi Nono over. He didn't have much time, and having an assistant would at least make the surgery faster.
Although he had snatched Nagato away during the night, if Nagato hadn't returned by the next day, it would surely be discovered.
One must remember that Nagato had always used the six paths of pain to represent his presence. Right now, because the six paths of pain had no way to contact Nagato, they were all in an offline state—in other words, they were in a state of pure corpses. If they were discovered then, it would be quite a situation.
Vegapunk wanted to make Nagato his puppet. While the main reason was the convenience of that pair of Rinnegan for stirring up trouble, the forces Nagato commanded were also an aspect he valued.
Although Yakushi Nono was a spy, her level of Medical Ninjutsu was not inferior to those Special Jōnin who specialized in medicine. After becoming one of Vegapunk's people, she had been modified and strengthened using Hashirama cells. The quality of the Yin Release Chakra in her body had greatly increased. Now, aside from Tsunade, her Medical Ninjutsu level should be in the top tier.
Considering she had also learned a lot of new knowledge from Vegapunk, her Medical Ninjutsu level might already be the second best in the Ninja World. At the very least, helping Vegapunk speed up the surgery time would be no problem at all.
Cutting directly along the seams of Nagato's skull, Vegapunk began the brain surgery, directly incorporating a nano-chip to enable remote control of Nagato himself.
Yakushi Nono didn't know much about Vegapunk's high-tech gadgets, but she could still assist with the surgery. After two hours, Vegapunk finally fully connected the chip to Nagato's brain and then performed the suturing.
Soon, Nagato's appearance returned to how it was before. Aside from his Red Hair being shaved off and his eyes being closed while still unconscious, there seemed to be no other changes.
Afterward, Vegapunk gave Nagato two injections, adding genes from the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan. Since he had now become his puppet, this would allow for better control of the Rinnegan.
And finally, Vegapunk directly sealed the Gedo Statue inside Nagato's body, truly enhancing his life essence.
