After finishing his work, Nox brought Shakky to the laboratory, where Stussy's clone was located.
Unfortunately, the original Stussy had already run away before Nox arrived, and the Queen from the original story had also fled.
According to those scientists, these two had already run away before the chaos erupted.
They didn't know what method they used to evade the people guarding outside, quietly disappearing from the laboratory.
"In this World, there are actually people who can research clones, and even succeed!"
When she saw Stussy, Shakky exclaimed.
She knew Stussy, they had worked together on the Rocks Pirates before, they knew each other, but weren't close.
However, seeing Stussy's clone now, Shakky was very emotional.
"Yes, and it's a very successful clone. Although it's a clone, it possesses emotions just like a human."
Nox said.
He was now thinking about whether to release Stussy's clone and have her work for him, after all, Stussy's work ability in the original story was quite strong.
But in the end, Stussy remained loyal to Vegapunk's own will, which made him hesitate. After all, if Stussy knew that Vegapunk was harmed by him, she would definitely betray him, there was no doubt about that.
"Husband, since she was created by Vegapunk, let's wait until Vegapunk arrives before releasing her."
Shakky clearly knew Nox's concerns.
The Vegapunk she was referring to was the Vegapunk who would later be loyal to Nox, not the current Vegapunk.
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Hearing Shakky's words, Nox felt it was very reasonable, he wasn't short on a few years' time anyway.
Ohara had a group of scholars pursuing ancient history, they fearlessly wanted to explore what exactly happened during the hundred years of the Void Century in ancient history.
Among them, Dr. Clover saw the World Swordsmanship Competition held by the Limitless Pirates on the news, and learned that Wano Country, occupied by the Limitless Pirates, had existed for over eight hundred years and had always been isolated, only contacting the outside world after the Limitless Pirates occupied it.
Therefore, Dr. Clover led many scholars to Fish-Man Island, wanting to go to the Limitless Sea in the New World, and then to Wano Country. They even wanted to meet Nox to learn about the history of Wano Country, so that they might find relevant events about the Void Century.
"Dr. Clover, are we really going to the Limitless Pirates' territory? That's a sea area ruled by one of the most powerful Pirate Crew in the New World!"
Nico Nico Olivia said with some worry.
"It's alright, Nico Olivia, I've already looked into it. Although the Limitless Sea is a sea area ruled by Pirates, as long as you abide by the rules set by the Limitless Pirates, no Pirate within the Limitless Sea dares to commit crimes. It can be said that the Limitless Sea is the safest sea area in the New World."
"The Captain of the Limitless Pirates is a very wise Pirate. The sea area he rules is very peaceful and safe, and almost no one dares to cause trouble within the Limitless Sea, so we don't need to worry too much."
Dr. Clover said.
"Then how do we get from Fish-Man Island to the Limitless Sea? There are many Pirates on the way from Fish-Man Island to the Limitless Sea, and if we encounter Pirates, we will have almost no power to resist."
Nico Olivia continued to ask.
"Don't worry, I've already found out. Fish-Man Island is the territory of the Limitless Pirates. From time to time, Limitless Pirates' merchant ships will come to Fish-Man Island to transport goods that Fish-Man Island needs, and also transport goods to the Limitless Sea."
"As long as we pay some Berries, we can have the Limitless Pirates' merchant ships escort us into the Limitless Sea."
Dr. Clover said confidently. He had made all the preparations before coming, rather than just coming impulsively without considering anything, which was not something a scholar should do.
That guy Caesar was naturally fond of fun and spent money like water. In just seven days, he visited all the pleasure houses in Wano Country, spending all three months' worth of his salary in Berries and the five hundred million Berries the Limitless Pirates had previously bribed him with.
Even Judge was led astray by that guy Caesar, with very few Berries left on him.
Finally, the two guys returned to the laboratory with dark circles under their eyes and having lost a circle of weight.
"Which pleasure girl drained you two dry?"
Seeing Caesar and Judge in this state, Nox was a little startled. These two guys weren't strong in physique, lacked energy, and yet indulged excessively without knowing restraint.
"Not just one, but many. It's not me, Caesar, boasting, but the pleasure girls of the entire Wano Country..."
That guy Caesar hadn't come back to his senses yet. He originally thought he was talking to fellow scientists and wanted to show off his achievements, but when he saw Nox, all his words got stuck!
"Good heavens, what a guy, truly worthy of being the audacious fellow from the original story who dared to embezzle research funds for revelry!"
Hearing Caesar's words, Nox inwardly exclaimed "Good heavens". This guy actually did something that he himself had never even done!
"Captain, it was you! You didn't tell us you were coming, so we could have come to meet you!"
After seeing Nox, Caesar immediately put on a fawning expression.
"I don't care about your private lives, but when it's time to work, you must work, and when it's time to produce results, you must. Otherwise, don't blame me for deducting your salaries."
Nox said calmly.
He wasn't the type of person to exploit employees. For capable individuals, he was quite lenient; as long as they produced results, everything else was negotiable.
"Don't worry, Captain, we are all people with strict scientific integrity!"
Judge straightened his back and said.
"These are your research projects, take a look!"
"Judge, your research project is the study of the Bloodline Factor. The first goal is clones. You don't need to clone people with emotions, just clone clones that obey commands."
"Caesar, your research is about Devil Fruits. I want you to research the technology that allows inanimate objects to eat Devil Fruits. This aspect is also closely related to the Bloodline Factor, so you and Judge should discuss it more when the time comes."
"As for the funding, you can calculate it and report it to me later. As long as it's reasonable, I will approve it, but I will give it in batches. Each time, I need to see progress and results."
Nox said.
"Captain, are there any standards for the clones?"
Judge was the first to ask.
"Of course, the stronger, the better."
Nox said.
"In that case, a powerful sample is needed. The stronger the sample, the stronger the clones can be."
Judge looked at Nox with burning eyes. His most perfect target was Nox, the strongest member of the Limitless Pirates. If he could use Nox as a sample, he didn't even know how powerful the clones could be!
"I will find you a powerful sample, so don't set your sights on me!"
Seeing Judge's gaze, Nox couldn't help but feel a chill. He would definitely not use himself as a sample, but using Bullet as a sample was feasible. After all, Bullet's physique was also very strong, he was the strongest in physique in the Limitless Pirates besides Nox.
"Also, these are Vegapunk's research results on the blueprint of life. I'll hand them over to you, but leaking them is prohibited."
Nox then handed over the research results written by Vegapunk himself to Caesar and Judge. Their research projects were all related to the blueprint of life.
"The blueprint of life!!"
After hearing Nox's words, both Judge and Caesar's eyes lit up.
Although they outwardly didn't submit to Vegapunk, deep down they were very impressed. After all, they couldn't produce Vegapunk's results. Getting Vegapunk's research results was a scientific advancement for them!
"Alright, you two research well. I will come by every once in a while."
After speaking, Nox ignored the two guys who were seriously examining Vegapunk's experimental results and turned to Yumaz's laboratory.
"Yumaz, I've assigned twenty scientists to you. Next, you will conduct experiments related to communication."
"The result I want is technology that can decipher den den mushi signals, capable of intercepting and monitoring the communication content of den den mushi."
"At the same time, you need to research another type of signal different from den den mushi, and then we will make our own communication equipment. I want to replace the use of den den mushi within the Limitless Pirates."
Nox said.
He had wanted to do experiments in this area for a long time, but he never had the time or truly skilled scientists to help. Although Yumaz could also do it, he was responsible for many experiment projects and simply didn't have the time to specialize in this.
Now that Caesar and Judge, these two top scientists, could take over the work from Yumaz, it was perfect to let Yumaz and the other scientists handle this matter.
den den mushi are always a hidden danger and must be resolved quickly.
"Captain, which experiment should we do first?"
Yumaz asked. Nox had said too much at once, so he needed to ask about the priority.
"Let's start with the experiment to decipher den den mushi signals, so I can receive all den den mushi signals from within the Limitless Sea and constantly monitor whether there are any factors detrimental to the Limitless Pirates in these signals."
"Then comes the experiment to intercept signals, followed by the experiment to replace den den mushi signals, and finally, inventing a communication device that can substitute den den mushi."
"Regarding equipment to replace den den mushi, I have some ideas..."
Nox elaborated on some of his views to Yumaz, but how to specifically implement them would require Yumaz to lead his team to figure it out.
"Captain, I understand. Leave it to me, you will see results in at most half a year."
Yumaz said confidently. He was no longer the small researcher he once was; now, he could be called a great scientist. He still needed to have this much confidence.
"Alright, I'll wait for your good news!"
Nox smiled. He liked people who were full of confidence.
