"When did you learn to flatter like Caesar, kid? Tell me about your recent experimental results. Don't tell me it's just strengthening and fusing the Seven Star Sword."
Nox looked at Yumaz with a frown.
"Captain, you're wronging me. I've made many inventions recently."
"For example, the signal converter improved based on the previous signal receiver is now spread throughout the Limitless Sea. As long as a den den mushi is used within the Limitless Sea, the signal converter will automatically capture the den den mushi's signal, and only after going through the signal converter can it be transmitted out of the Limitless Sea."
"This can effectively monitor the den den mushi's signal without affecting the use of the den den mushi."
"Also, the other den den mushi that Captain asked me to invent by combining the signal receiver and transmitter into one, I have already achieved it."
Yumaz said proudly.
"Oh? Let me see!"
Hearing Yumaz say this, Nox became interested.
"Captain, look, this is the new den den mushi you named before, called a mobile phone."
"The mobile phone has the same functions as a den den mushi, such as dialing, calling, taking photos, recording videos, and storage. It can be said to be another type of den den mushi, but the signal used is completely different from a den den mushi and has no relation to it. Even the World Government cannot monitor the communication content of our mobile phones."
Yumaz excitedly said, taking out a black mobile phone about the size of a brick.
Looking at this black brick, Nox couldn't help but think of an old-school mobile phone, but this thing was much bigger than that, too large to fit in a pocket.
"Yumaz, the mobile phone is a good invention, but the size is too large. It needs to be improved to be about the same size as a den den mushi."
"Also, now that this technology has been invented, see if there are any areas for improvement, and then have all the den den mushi in the entire Limitless Sea abolished and replaced with what you have invented."
Although he was not very satisfied with the size of the mobile phone, its basic functions had already been invented, and the next step was just improvement.
His initial purpose for having Yumaz invent it was to abolish the monitoring of the Limitless Sea by den den mushi, preventing the World Government from invading and monitoring the entire Limitless Sea through den den mushi.
After all, with the development of the era, the use of den den mushi in the Limitless Sea is increasing, and even some aspects of daily life require den den mushi.
He knew clearly how severe the impact would be if den den mushi were invaded in such a situation.
Therefore, Nox wanted to completely eliminate this potential threat.
"Captain, I understand. Give me two months to improve it, and then my invention can completely replace the den den mushi."
"However, Captain, our mobile phone function can only be used within the Limitless Sea. Once you are a hundred kilometers outside the Limitless Sea, it cannot be used."
Yumaz said.
The reason mobile phones can be used within the Limitless Sea is that signal stabilizers and signal towers have been installed throughout the Limitless Sea. Mobile communication is only possible in areas covered by signal towers; this is the mobile phone's drawback.
"That's fine, we can improve it later. Your task now is to abolish the use of den den mushi within the Limitless Sea and replace them all with our own equipment. Everyone in the Limitless Pirates must use mobile phones for calls within the Limitless Sea. As for outside the Limitless Sea, they can just switch back to den den mushi."
"From now on, your task is to improve the mobile phone, making it smaller and with more functions than a den den mushi."
"Also, resolve the problem of mobile phones not being usable outside the sea area."
Nox said.
"Captain, improving the mobile phone is no problem, but you also know its drawback: it relies too much on signal towers. If you want to be able to use it outside the Limitless Sea, you would need to build signal towers all over the World."
Yumaz said.
Building signal towers all over the World would be difficult even with the Limitless Pirates' financial resources and strength, not to mention that once the World Government finds out, they would destroy the signal towers immediately.
Destroying is much simpler than building, which is not cost-effective.
"That's simple, isn't it? When within the Limitless Sea, the mobile phone sends and receives our own special signal. After leaving the Limitless Sea, the signal sent and received can be exactly the same as the den den mushi's signal."
Nox said.
"Captain, you are truly a genius! This way, the mobile phone's drawback can be completely resolved!"
Hearing Nox's words, Yumaz's eyes lit up.
He had previously fallen into a misconception, thinking that mobile phones must use their own special signal and cannot be the same as den den mushi, otherwise, what would be the difference from a den den mushi?
What Nox wanted was simply to prevent den den mushi from monitoring the Limitless Sea. As for matters outside the Limitless Sea, he didn't care.
Although doing so might still allow mobile phone communication content to be monitored, Nox didn't care. He could improve it later to make the mobile phone unable to be monitored.
The Limitless Sea now has several important laboratories. Lesley, Yumaz, Caesar, Soros, and Judge are all scientists with independent laboratories.
These individuals are the most important scientists within the Limitless Pirates, engaged in significant scientific research work and experiments.
"Judge, how are your experimental research results?"
Nox asked after arriving at Judge's laboratory.
"Captain, the clone experiment has been perfectly realized. Because the samples used for the clones are Bullet's body samples, almost every clone has a very strong physique. Even facing a Marineford Rear Admiral one-on-one is completely fine!"
"Furthermore, as Bullet's own physique continues to strengthen, it's possible that the clones eventually created could even take on a Marineford Captain one-on-one."
Judge said, bringing Nox to the laboratory where the clones were being cultivated.
"Have these clones met the requirements I mentioned before?"
Nox asked, looking at the clones being cultivated in the containers in front of him.
"Captain, everything is according to your previous requirements. The clones themselves have no emotions and will only act according to commands. Furthermore, the highest command program for the clones is set to your orders, followed by the orders of the four madams. Subsequent command levels have not been set yet."
Judge replied.
"Very good, very good. Since the clones are fine, let's start mass production. You can keep two hundred clones here for your use. After the other clones are produced, hand them all over to Athena and Shakky."
Nox said.
"No problem, Captain!"
"Oh, right. During my research, combining Vegapunk's life design blueprint, I discovered another way to enhance the clones' power. I named it Bloodline Factor."
"In my concept, the Bloodline Factor is similar to the power of Devil Fruit, but not the same. After adding the Bloodline Factor, clones can control power similar to Devil Fruit."
"For example, giving clones powers like lightning, fire, and poison. After the clones possess these powers, their combat strength will further increase, possibly reaching the Commodore or Rear Admiral level in the future!"
"Furthermore, after the Bloodline Factor is successful, it might even be applied to humans, allowing humans to gain combat power similar to Devil Fruit without needing to eat a Devil Fruit."
"Once this experiment is successful, it will be a huge power boost for the entire Limitless Pirates!"
The more Judge spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had already seen the future success of his experiment.
"Your idea is very good. The clones don't necessarily have to be based on Bullet's samples. You can also try fusing in the genes of some powerful ferocious beasts."
"Furthermore, you don't necessarily have to conduct research based on clones. You can research robots and create a robot with strong combat power using special alloys."
"In summary, your research direction from now on is to utilize the Bloodline Factor you discovered, then create more powerful clones, and also apply this technology to humans."
Nox said after thinking for a moment. Judge's idea was very similar to the Seraphim in the original work, and it was worth researching.
"Captain, your idea coincides with mine! I also want to try this!"
Judge said.
"Alright, that's all for now. I'll come back and see after the experiment is successful."
Nox didn't stay long here. After looking at Judge's experimental results, he left and went to Athena's office.
"Husband, why did you come here!"
Seeing Nox arrive, Athena stopped the work she was doing.
"Madam, do you remember when I told you that the Ancient Weapon Pluto was hidden beneath Wano Country?"
Nox sat down, then pulled Athena into his arms, having her sit on his lap.
"I remember. But Husband didn't want the Fishmen to know about Pluto before, so after finding it, he didn't let the Fishmen go down to Wano Country anymore."
Athena nestled into Nox's arms accordingly.
"Now Judge's clones have been researched, and they will be mass-produced soon. At that time, I will have him send a batch of clones to you."
"Then you arrange for these clones to continue searching for Pluto beneath Wano Country. You don't need to dig out the entire Pluto, just dig out a part of it, enough for us to enter Pluto's internal space That's it."
"This matter must be kept secret. Besides us couple, even the child cannot be told."
Nox said seriously.
The matter of Pluto is of great importance; the fewer people who know, the better.
"Husband, I understand. Leave this matter to me. I definitely won't let the matter of Pluto leak out."
Athena said seriously.
Looking at Athena's serious expression and the soft comfort on his leg, Nox's thoughts suddenly became restless.
