Over the course of seven years, many things happened in the entire World.
For example, in the Sea Calendar 1502, the Limitless Pirates held the second Sword Art Tournament, and the number of participants was much larger than the one ten years ago.
At that time, almost all the well-known Sword Master in the entire World came to participate, but in this Sword Art Tournament, great Pirate like Golden Lion and Rayleigh did not continue to participate.
Apart from Red Count and Nox, there were no other famous Grand Swordmaster who continued to participate in this Sword Art Tournament.
Needless to say, the final result of this session was naturally the duel between Nox and Red Count, and there was no accident in the final result, Nox took the first place.
After this session, Nox also announced that he would no longer participate in the Sword Art Tournament, but the first place winner of each Sword Art Tournament would have the qualification to challenge him!
As soon as these words came out, the swordsmen of the entire World were instantly excited.
Because if Nox kept participating, then other swordsmen would have no chance to get the first place, let alone, the person who got the first place also had the qualification to challenge Nox, which made the swordsmen all over the World unable to resist this temptation!
Having said that, for most swordsmen, they have no hope of reaching the final, so this change is irrelevant to them. What they need more is the Sword Art Tournament platform to fight with different swordsmen from all over the World, and then improve their sword road Training.
A year ago, the Fish-Man Island princess Shirahoshi was born. At the request of the Limitless Pirates, Shirahoshi was transferred to Flower Island in the Limitless Sea to live. Her mother Otohime also came to Flower Island to live for a year to take care of Shirahoshi.
During this period, Nox also specifically asked the Executive Officer guarding Fish-Man Island to deal with some hidden dangers on Fish-Man Island.
As a result, after Otohime lived on Flower Island for a year and returned to Fish-Man Island, no one tried to assassinate her, allowing her to live safely.
Over the past seven years, the World Government has gradually recovered some of its vitality, but at the same time, the kingdoms in many places in the Four Seas have been overthrown by the Revolutionary Army, making the kingdoms in the entire Four Seas panic-stricken.
The Limitless Pirates also took the opportunity to control many Allied Nations and non-government Allied Nations. The kingdoms controlled by the Limitless Pirates are very stable, and no rebellions have occurred.
On the surface, the current World Government has recovered some vitality, but under the influence of the Limitless Pirates, the interior can be said to be riddled with holes.
The Four Seas is no longer the backyard of the World Government, but also the backyard of the Limitless Pirates. The Limitless Pirates, who have mastered the navigation technology of the Calm Belt, coupled with the Law Net that has expanded to the Red Line after many years of deployment in the Four Seas, and the Quicksand Guild that is spread throughout the Four Seas and the Grand Line, the Four Seas are unimpeded for the Limitless Pirates.
In the past seven years, the Limitless Pirates have expanded unscrupulously in secret, and their sphere of influence and number of people have reached a very exaggerated level.
On the surface, the number of Limitless Pirates personnel has reached 700,000, and the number in secret has reached 2 million.
If other forces wanted to support such a large number of people, they would not know how much money it would cost, but for the Limitless Pirates, it is easy to afford.
If Nox was not pursuing excellence, then this number could increase by three to five times on this basis!
Limitless Pirates:
"Captain, look, this is the combat robot we have researched. It has undergone various experimental tests and has perfectly met the standards. It can be mass-produced and put into combat!"
Soros and Caesar rarely came together and invited Nox to see their experimental results.
After Nox arrived here, he saw a huge robot eight meters tall. The appearance of this robot was similar to a human, but many parts were not similar to a human.
For example, its eyes are not two, but an eye band around the head. Its feet are huge and similar to dragon claws. Its hands are similar to human hands, but there are empty cannon muzzles in the center of the palms, etc.
It can be said that this robot is full of technology and looks very deterrent.
"Tell me, how is this robot specifically?"
Nox asked curiously.
"Shilololololo, Captain, let me speak first. The weapon system of this robot is designed by me. In terms of long-range attack, it can fire Laser Cannon like Prince Valent, which can be fired from the mouth, hands, and feet."
"The Laser Cannon is divided into three firing modes: instant firing, charged firing, and ultimate firing. The instant firing Laser Cannon has the lowest power, but it is very practical. The charged firing needs to be charged for two seconds before firing, and the power is three times greater than instant firing. The ultimate firing needs to be charged for four seconds, which is the ultimate move that bursts out all the energy in the body. The power depends on the amount of energy in the body. Once this move is fired, the entire robot will completely lose its mobility due to energy loss."
"In terms of melee combat, it can condense into a laser light sword to fight enemies. The key is that the hands can change shape, they can become claws, they can become hammers, and they can become swords. Its best melee combat mode is to condense a light sword in one hand and use the most primitive attack with the other hand."
"Even inside the robot, biochemical weapons and Sea Stone weapons are installed to deal with different enemies."
"In addition to the weapon system, all the materials of its body are made by me referring to the materials on the robot Emmett, and the materials made are even harder than Emmett's own materials, and cannot be destroyed even by the full force attack of the Limitless Pirates' Executive Officer!"
Caesar said proudly.
In other scientific research fields, Caesar may not be as good as Soros who has the Brain-Brain Fruit, but in terms of weapons, Caesar is still very confident.
It is precisely because Soros has so many things to research that after Caesar shared the burden in terms of weapons, he did not continue to put effort into weapon research.
"Well, a very good design!"
"Soros, you speak next!"
Nox nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Soros.
Soros's head has been cut off now, just like Vegapunk in the original work. His brain capacity is too large, and his physical brain cannot carry so much knowledge, so he put his head outside and built a huge technological brain like Vegapunk in the original work, connecting the body and brain with signals.
Even Soros, like Vegapunk in the original work, created six robots to help him do experiments.
However, at Nox's reminder, those six robots are just robots, with the ability to do experiments, but without any emotions or human intelligence.
And all their data will be transmitted through Soros's brain, and there are no hidden dangers.
"Captain, in addition to what Caesar said, the robot has a generator inside. When the energy is below 80%, the generator will work to provide energy for the robot. At the same time, there is also a backup energy storage inside for emergencies."
"In addition, a solar energy converter is also installed, which can collect sunlight and convert it into the energy required by the robot. The two charging methods greatly solve the robot's energy problem."
"The robot's feet can not only fire Laser Cannon, but also be used as flying propulsion, which means our robot can fly!"
"A 360-degree detection instrument is installed on the robot's head, which can lock the enemy's position in all directions."
"The robot's core combat instructions are the integration of data collected after many battles with Limitless Pirates members. It can be said that every robot in the future will be a veteran of many battles, and even in the future, the robot's combat instructions can be continuously updated to make their combat methods stronger and stronger, and finally even reach the point of predicting the opponent's actions."
"The robot's core control instructions are: the first sequence is the Captain, the second sequence is the three ladies, and the third sequence is me and Caesar. In the future, the third sequence control instructions can be added according to the situation of the user."
"There is also a self-destruct program inside the robot. We can remotely control each machine to self-destruct at any time. Of course, the self-destruct program can only be executed by your first sequence command, Captain."
Soros also briefly explained the other characteristics of the robot.
"Is there anything else that can be improved on this robot?"
Nox asked.
What he needs are the most elite robots, and he doesn't want to produce too many transitional products. If he wants to produce, he will produce the final form of robots.
"The only areas where this robot can be improved are the material, energy, and weapon system."
"The material is the hardest material that Caesar can produce at present, and the energy is the most powerful energy at present. The weapon system relies on energy, and as long as the energy becomes stronger, the weapon system will also become stronger."
"So there are currently no aspects that can be improved for the time being, and there will be opportunities for modification in the future."
Soros said.
"Since that's the case, then start producing according to the standard of this robot. Athena will decide how many units to produce based on the situation of the Limitless Pirates."
Hearing this, Nox nodded and said that the combat power of such robots is much stronger than those of the clones, and they can be put into many battles.
Nox rarely produces those clones now. The biggest use of clones at present is confidentiality.
For example, many secret laboratories of the Limitless Pirates, as well as the operation of the Mirror World, are done by clones. As for combat, clones are not needed at all, because the Limitless Pirates never lack low-level combat power like clones.
And the robot in front of him, its combat power can be said to be a mid-range combat power, and the strength of each unit should be similar to that of an ordinary Marine Vice Admiral.
The characteristics of the robot being insensitive to pain, tireless, fearless of death, and mass-producible are what Nox values. The only disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of resources, and even the Limitless Pirates have to produce according to the actual situation, rather than blindly mass-producing.
This is why the World Government in the original work did not mass-produce Pacifista, but only put Pacifista into use in key areas.
Moreover, the robot in front of Nox is much stronger than the Pacifista in the original work, so the resources required for production can be said to be an astronomical figure, not to mention the subsequent various maintenance and guarantees.
"Captain, this robot doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you give it a name!"
Soros said.
"Since it is a combat robot, its appearance will inevitably bring endless wars, so let's call it Tyr. According to the production serial number, this one should be the first one, so let's call it Tyr No. 1!"
Nox thought for a moment and said.
"By the way, you have made great contributions to the research of Tyr, so Caesar, your salary this year will be doubled, and you will also get half a month of paid leave to rest well."
"The same goes for Soros, don't always stay in the laboratory, go out and relax with Caesar!"
Nox said with satisfaction.
Nox is still a little worried about Soros, fearing that he will ruin his health. After all, this guy is a complete science fanatic and never leaves the laboratory for a year or half.
So Nox also specially equipped him with a dedicated doctor to check his body every day, lest this guy suddenly die.
If that were the case, Nox would feel like he had suffered a huge loss!
"Shilololololo, thank you, Captain!"
"Soros, come out and have fun with me. I guarantee you will have a wonderful life of debauchery!"
After hearing Nox's words, Caesar immediately became excited. What he likes most is this kind of paid leave life. He can play to his heart's content and get paid for nothing. This is simply a holiday specially designed for him!
After speaking, without waiting for Soros to say anything, Caesar dragged him out.
Although Soros is very strong in scientific research, he is far inferior to Caesar in terms of strength. After all, Caesar ate the Devour-Devour Fruit.
Caesar is very good at developing the Devour-Devour Fruit. By swallowing various materials to strengthen his body, his body is becoming more and more exaggerated.
If he were to fight, he might really become an Executive Officer of the Limitless Pirates, but unfortunately this guy is a scientist and doesn't like fighting.
