Fishman in One Piece

Chapter 11: Warlord, Knight of the sea Jinbei

Rear Admiral Hager observed Brett with a sense of suspicion.

'What is taking place here? Why has the Doctor been engaging with this fish-man so often ?

Within a mere fortnight, the doctor has encountered this Fishman for the third time.

Could it be that the doctor harbors romantic feelings for this Fishman

So the doctor assisted this fish-man when he escaped imprisonment?'

For experimental purposes, he could sever the fish-man's hands and feet.

As he surveyed the back of the fish-man walking ahead, Hager's hand instinctively settled on the hilt of his sword.

Hager was uncertain about the situation, but he was acutely aware that it was not favorable.

'If this pattern of events persists, I fear there may indeed be a situation that Mr. Borusalino would strongly disapprove of.'

Hager remained silent.

Subsequently, Brett was once again taken to Vegapunk's laboratory.

Upon closing the door, Brett turned to see Vegapunk approaching rapidly, displaying an enthusiastic expression.

He raised his hands slightly, with all ten fingers trembling uncontrollably, as if he were experiencing convulsions.

For a brief moment, Brett thought that he might be unwell.

However, he recognized that this was not the case; Vegapunk did not suffer from epilepsy, he simply had ADHD.

"So, young man, what are the results? " Vegapunk inquired with anticipation.

"Very successful," Brett responded earnestly. "Although my ability remains limited, I possess the capacity to heal myself. "

"Isn't that to be expected? "

Vegapunk erupted in laughter, appearing to regard it as a certainty. "How could I fail? "

"Have you considered what you desire for the remainder of your bloodline? "

"I have a general idea regarding the types, but I would likely need your expert recommendation, Doctor," Brett stated. "I prefer a bloodline that would enhance both my foundational abilities and fruit-based powers. "

"I assumed you would opt for the ability to extend your lifespan and maintain perpetual youth? " Vegapunk expressed surprise. "The Celestial Dragons frequently request me to conduct such experiments. Of course, I feigned ignorance. "

"There exist numerous abilities within the ocean that can achieve this, do they not? "

Brett shook his head, responding, "There is no necessity to squander this precious opportunity. "

What purpose do those abilities serve?

When a person is killed, they ultimately perish.

To prolong life, one must evade fatality.

Brett's primary concern lies in bolstering his survivability.

He aims to be stronger, more resilient, and less susceptible to death.

Regarding immortality and everlasting youth, there exists a substance known as pure gold in the sea. Once acquired, a person's time may virtually come to a standstill, allowing them to endure for centuries in the blink of an eye.

"Whatever you wish," Vegapunk maintained his cheerful demeanor, "my role is solely to conduct the experiments. "

Brett offered a slight smirk.

Vegapunk clearly did not take the matter seriously. He simply wished to conduct this experiment from start to finish.

"If feasible, Doctor, could you obtain a bloodline that would restore my ability to swim? "

Brett said earnestly, "As a fishman, being unable to swim would be quite unseemly. You would find it challenging to move about freely on Fishman Island. "

"Is that all? There exists a bloodline that meets your specifications. "

Vegapunk approached the computer and typed several commands on the keyboard, resulting in an image appearing on the screen.

The displayed image depicted a fish with a surface resembling coral formations.

"Archaean Coral Fish is generally acknowledged as a close relative of contemporary coral polyps. Much like the unique corals found on your Fishman Island, this fish possesses the ability to secrete bubbles. It can even form a bubble layer on its exterior. "

Vegapunk explained, "I cannot contravene the laws of devil powers to enable your swimming, but this bloodline should permit you to exist in the sea without direct contact with the water. "

'Isn't that simply a coating?'

Brett felt slightly disheartened. Coral fish from the Fishman Islands capable of the same feat were readily available.

While it would certainly be more practical to produce the bubbles oneself rather than carry coral, once the bubble burst, one would inevitably sink to the ocean floor.

Ultimately, Devil Fruit users continue to face excessive restrictions within these waters.

"Do not become disheartened, young man," Vegapunk observed Brett's mood and smiled, "The bubbles generated by this fish contain unique substances and are undoubtedly robust. They employ these bubbles to target larger fish. "

"Is that so? "

In that case, it appeared to be more acceptable.

"Alright, enough with the idle chatter; proceed with selecting the bloodline you desire! " Vegapunk remarked with impatience, "I am required to focus my research on other matters, and the government is applying significant pressure. "

"Understood. "

Brett nodded in acknowledgment.

Subsequently, following Dr. Vegapunk's guidance, Brett chose seven additional bloodlines intended to enhance his fundamental capabilities and the powers of his Devil Fruit in various aspects.

He was then dismissed by Vegapunk, instructed to return in a week.

Brett eagerly anticipated the following week.

By then, he would undergo his second metamorphosis.

During his return to the prison, Brett felt a sense of confidence.

'Something is wrong.'

Hager, who was trailing behind Brett, furrowed his brow.

Despite the fishman's efforts to conceal it, it was evident that he carried a hint of happiness.

'What could be the source of his joy? There must have been some exchange between him and Dr. Vegapunk.'

After returning Brett to the prison, Hager pondered the situation and ultimately resolved to leave his post temporarily. He delegated several captains to secure the prison's entrance in his absence.

He then made his way to Vegapunk.

Regrettably, Vegapunk had entered experimental mode, and the laboratory door was locked.

Not wishing to disrupt Vegapunk's experimentation, Hager had no alternative but to return to Brett's confinement.

However, he had already resolved that the next occasion Vegapunk sought out the fishman, he would certainly gauge Vegapunk's stance.

'This fish-man serves as material for experiments. Does he think this well have a good ending, stupid Fishman.'

Simultaneously, on the opposite side of the Red Continent, in a section of the sea known as Paradise, two vessels gradually neared each other.

At the bow of one vessel, a man attired in a black suit regarded the individuals aboard the opposing ship with a smile, stating, "So, we can finally sit down and discuss things, knight of the sea Jinbei! "

At the bow of the other vessel, a stout blue fishman vociferously proclaimed, "You wish to negotiate, but my terms will remain unchanged! "

"You may rest assured,"

The man in the black suit replied earnestly, "As long as you consent to become the new Warlord and adhere to the government's directives as necessary, then all conditions remain open for discussion. "

The blue-skinned fishman and current captain of the Sun Pirates, Jinbei, pressed his lips together.

'Is this decision genuinely the appropriate one? Would Brother Tiger approve of such an outcome?'

Regardless, at the very least, Fishman Island can be safeguarded to some degree, and the captured comrades can be liberated.

Brett was unaware of the occurrences transpiring in the outside world for the moment. All he comprehended was that a week had elapsed.
