One Piece : Marine Scientist

Marine Headquarters.

On Leon exclusive experimental island, the experimental factory was operating at a frenzied pace, with researchers bustling about energetically.

Among them, a beautiful girl with pink hair and dressed in futuristic punk attire was slowly walking through the facility.

On her chest, the number 02 was inscribed.

At that moment, she looked around at the workings of the experimental factory, her face filled with shock.

She muttered to herself, speaking softly.

"Is this the program module for the Marine Rokushiki?"

Her eyes were constantly fixated on the things before her.

A fervor seemed to shine through her gaze, as if she had stumbled upon a treasure of unparalleled value!

"This is truly incredible! To think it could reach such heights, no wonder..."

"Quick, write this down..." The girl eyes sparkled as she excitedly engaged in her "theft."

"Dr. Vegapunk..."

Suddenly, a researcher called out from behind her.

"What is it?"

The girl turned her head, her face full of dissatisfaction as she inquired.

This girl was indeed one of Vegapunk six clones, known as 02 "Lilith"! She had specifically come here to see the Seraphim.

"Uh, Dr. Vegapunk, over there is a newly produced Seraphim..." The researcher forced a smile.

He spoke respectfully.

Although she was merely one of Vegapunk's clones, she possessed independent thoughts and personality.

Many researchers in the Marine scientific department found this 02 clone "Lilith" quite troublesome. After all, her personality was far too erratic and mischievous.

"Is that so? Hurry, take me over to see it!" Lilith exclaimed, her eyes lighting up with delight.

"Yes..."

The researcher sighed, leading the way.

Before long, Lilith arrived in front of a Seraphim. 

Before her stood a Seraphim resembling a young Hancock.

"White hair, brown skin..."

"And these black wings burning with flames, truly the characteristics of the Lunarian Tribe!"

Lilith expressed her astonishment.

As the world's first scientist to discover and study lineage factors, Vegapunk immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of the Seraphim.

This was definitely not merely a matter of appearance possessing Lunarian traits.

The powerful innate abilities of the race, such as the talent to adapt quickly to any environment, had also been perfectly replicated in the Seraphim.

This was what truly shocked Lilith.

Lilith leaned in closer, seemingly conducting a thorough investigation and after a while, she suddenly displayed a look of realization.

"I see! I see! I understand! The design is so clever, it can be designed this way!"

"The inventor of the Seraphim is truly a genius!"

Lilith couldn't help but exclaim, filled with joy.

All along, she had been conducting research in this area but had been stuck at a bottleneck, and as the world's top scientist, no one could guide or discuss things with her.

As a result, her progress had been quite slow. But now, as clever as she was, upon seeing the relevant programs, she quickly grasped the concepts.

Then, Lilith continued to observe. Her face revealed a look of shock.

"What profound swordsmanship!"

"It seems to mimic the swordsmanship of the world greatest swordsman, Mihawk! Just based on this, the Seraphim's strength far surpasses that of my Pacifista, it's truly impressive!"

"Huh? Wait! Is that Dyna Stone?!" Lilith was taken aback, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"To think they could use Dyna Stone as an energy source for the Seraphim, this idea is truly ingenious! How did I not think of this!"

Lilith was overwhelmed. She couldn't help but continue her examination, inspecting every aspect of the Seraphim inside and out.

"To think they even implanted two-color Haki..."

"How on earth did they achieve this program module? Logically, artificial weapons shouldn't possess such a thing as Haki..."

"How did they manage to store this Haki within the humanoid weapon? Or is there some energy that converts it into two-color Haki?"

Lilith shook her head "No, it should be directly converted from energy into two-color Haki..."

"But how exactly is this accomplished?" She was utterly perplexed!

After pondering for a long time, Lilith finally sighed deeply.

"Alright, although my thoughts align with those of the inventor, they indeed invented the Seraphim first..."

"In this regard, I truly cannot compare!"

At this moment, she was filled with shock, secretly gritting her teeth. But then her expression changed.

"No, no, I must get this back!"

Lilith had a glint of cunning in her eyes, her mind racing.

"It would be best if I could directly take a Seraphim back for research!"

She muttered to herself.

Meanwhile, the researcher behind her was sweating profusely!

He had long known she would act recklessly, which was why he had deliberately followed her.

"Um, Dr. Vegapunk, If you want to take a Seraphim back, we need to consult Dr. Leon!"

"Ah, what's the big deal about one Seraphim? There are so many here, it's fine, it's fine~"

Lilith grinned, waving her hand dismissively.

This made the researcher break out in a cold sweat.

One Seraphim was worth over a billion Berries. If they lost one privately, the consequences would be extremely severe.

"By the way, is the inventor of the Seraphim named Leon?"

Lilith suddenly asked curiously.

She had only heard the name until a new humanoid weapon was invented and its strength surpassed that of her Pacifista.

As for the inventor, she wasn't very clear about him.

"Yes, Dr. Vegapunk."

Lilith nodded "So when did this person appear? Why have I never heard of this name before?"

"To answer Dr. Vegapunk, Dr. Leon was only recently brought into the Marine scientific department by Admiral Kizaru..."

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you saying he wasn't a scientist before?"

"Yes, Dr. Leon is only eight years old this year."

Upon hearing this, Lilith was left dumbfounded, her face in disbelief.

It took her a while to react.

"Only eight years old and he has achieved something like this ???"

Lilith reflected on her own life at eight, she barely even knew what technology was...

Yet he had invented a humanoid weapon even more terrifying than her proud Pacifista!

What a remarkable feat!

"Where is Dr. Leon now?" Lilith eagerly pressed on.

Her face was filled with excitement, unable to contain her desire to meet this terrifying genius...
