In the Navy Headquarters Science Research Lab, Vegapunk dripped another drop of blood onto the testing platform. On the screen showing the cells, the golden Holy Light particles were very active.
The blood that Vegapunk dripped was naturally drawn from Avro, but these particles quickly lost their vitality.
"Damn it, it's like this again. When these particles leave the body, they quickly lose their effect. Could it really be something that only appears when you believe in that so-called Holy Light? Impossible. There's no way such a scientifically unfounded power could exist in the world," Vegapunk said, touching his messy hair. He didn't have a single clue.
At this time, an assistant wearing a white coat and a mask walked in. "Dr. Vegapunk, we just dissected the experimental body and didn't find anything different. Also, the experimental body has been confirmed dead."
"Sigh!" Vegapunk sighed. It seemed that this research would end without any results.
Just then, the door to the lab was pushed open again. Just like last time, someone was pushed in again!
"Hmm?" A gleam flashed in Vegapunk's eyes. "Could this be a new experimental body?"
"Yes, but unlike last time, this guy doesn't believe in the Holy Light, but he was treated by Grimm with his so-called 'Holy Light.' Even without treatment, the injuries in his body will slowly recover!"
A man in a suit said. The person pushed in this time was the Corrupt King Pizarro, who had been treated by Grimm with "Slow Heal."
"Oh?" Vegapunk became interested again and immediately began an investigation with his assistants.
But this time he learned his lesson and didn't dissect the body, in order to prevent the experimental body from dying.
Vegapunk was known as a man with a mind 500 years ahead of the world. Through a day of research, he had some clues.
Vegapunk took Pizarro's blood and injected it into an injured white mouse. In just one hour, the wound on the white mouse had completely healed.
And over the next two days, the more this thing was used, the smaller the self-healing power became.
For example, if the self-healing ability was lv5 when the blood plasma was first injected into the white mouse, then the second, third, and fourth times, it would only be lv4, lv3...
The more it was used, the less Holy Light particles it contained.
Vegapunk was originally passively accepting this experiment, but he himself became interested at this moment. He really wanted to figure out what those golden self-healing particles were. It was definitely not a Devil Fruit, so what was it?
The personality of a scientific madman was revealed.
But soon bad news came again. The self-healing Holy Light particles in Pizarro's body had disappeared (the Slow Heal effect that lasted for 5 days was gone).
Pizarro was then locked up in Impel Down.
Vegapunk immediately reported the results of the experiment to the higher-ups. The World Government hadn't yet given complete trust to this genius scientist who had recently joined the government, but they still looked over Vegapunk's experimental report.
These self-healing particles came from a power of faith. Believing in the so-called "Holy Light" could pray for such self-healing particles and could transmit this power to others, but it only existed for a short time.
The experimental body Avro, who believed in the Holy Light, worshiped Tirion D. Grimm to the limit.
The top government officials began to be interested in this "Holy Light." If they could create an army of such believers, with everyone having self-healing abilities, how terrifying would that be?
But the problem also came. Who exactly would this faith in the "Holy Light" be in? If they believed in the Holy Light, would they still listen to their government, or would they listen to that Tirion D. Grimm?
So the government's conclusion came out: Grimm was extremely dangerous. If he spread the faith of the "Holy Light" everywhere, it would inevitably bring great trouble to the World Government.
As for using it for themselves?
The government still didn't trust it. It was better to eliminate it directly than to win it over.
This child was so terrifying. He must not be allowed to live!
The Navy Fleet Admiral saw the government's report and immediately convened a meeting of several high-ranking Navy officials to discuss the matter of giving Grimm a bounty.
But the result was predictable.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Tsuru strongly opposed it, because Grimm hadn't done anything detrimental to the government and the Navy yet. Now the Navy's attention should be on Roger and Shiki.
Garp was busy eating donuts, Sakazuki was acting cool, Aokiji was lazy, and Kizaru was on a mission and hadn't returned yet.
So the meeting didn't discuss anything.
After everyone left, Fleet Admiral Kong looked at the recent reports about Grimm.
According to Kizaru's information, the pirate hunter duo Grimm had stolen one of the Corrupt Pirates' ships, and the Corrupt Pirates' pirate logo was on the hull, which couldn't be cleaned off at all. In other words, the Corrupt Pirates' ship now actually belonged to Grimm and Gangplank.
Another troublesome thing!
If the Navy discovered a pirate ship, they would definitely bombard it subconsciously, regardless of what pirate crew it was. Wouldn't that Grimm fight back? At that time, even if he was a pirate hunter, he would be directly put on a wanted poster.
"What a reckless guy. Didn't he think about this situation? Now the government is already very dissatisfied with this Grimm spreading his religion everywhere, and he's still so presumptuous!" Kong muttered to himself.
If Grimm heard this, he would definitely be depressed. When had he ever spread his religion? He was clearly killing his way through. He would never do such a troublesome thing as spreading religion.
In the end, Fleet Admiral Kong took a tough stance on this matter. He didn't care. The Navy's dignity couldn't be compromised, regardless of whether the other party was a pirate hunter or a pirate.
He didn't plan to issue an order such as "Do not attack ships with the Corrupt Pirates' logo." If this order was issued, the Navy's dignity would become empty talk.
Roger, Whitebeard, Shiki, and that brat Charlotte Linlin and that guy Kaido were already strong enough, so it didn't matter if there was one more Grimm.
However, he didn't know that he had made a very wrong decision. In the future, when he thought about it, he would say that this was the most wrong decision he had ever made, the one he regretted the most.
...
Starting from Reverse Mountain at the entrance to the Grand Line, there were a total of seven magnetic force paths. Almost whichever path you chose at the beginning, you would have to go all the way to the end, and you could only end at the Sabaody Archipelago.
This statement wasn't wrong, but there was also a prerequisite, which was to follow the Log Pose.
If you didn't follow the Log Pose, you could enter other magnetic force zones at any time, which would be very dangerous, such as the current Grimm.
Gangplank had left the Log Pose on the original ship.
So everything could only rely on Gangplank's own experience to navigate, and Gangplank's navigation skills were originally just mediocre, so he took Grimm and wandered around in the Grand Line.
Of course, it wasn't just Grimm who was depressed, but also the Navy who was tracking them. After following them for several days, they found that they had lost them. They didn't even know which island Grimm was going to next.
Even Grimm himself didn't know where he would go.
The Navy could only describe Grimm's behavior as reckless. They didn't have any sense of navigation. Didn't they know that forcibly breaking through magnetic force paths was very dangerous? Now the Navy didn't dare to forcibly break through magnetic force paths unless there was an extremely powerful expert in charge and it was in an extremely urgent situation.
And the Navy's worries were correct. Gangplank couldn't understand the map of the Grand Line at all, because every magnetic force path was drawn straight on the map. In reality, these weren't straight lines.
Grimm and the others broke through three magnetic force paths in a row, and the current ship was about to sink.
So until now, Grimm and Gangplank hadn't been given a bounty, which could be considered a miracle.
Grimm had been very angry recently, not only because of Gangplank's navigation skills, but most importantly, he had received a prompt from the system that his first follower, his first believer, Avro, had actually died, on Vegapunk's operating table. Grimm was very angry:
"Brother, one day, I will overthrow the World Government and avenge you!"
For his followers, no matter how small, Grimm would definitely remember their help to him.
"Uncle Avro, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
