Is became the second-in-command of the Holy Land.
In terms of both status and reputation, he ranks second!
Second only to Im!
This will change the power structure of the entire Holy Land!
believe...
The situation has changed dramatically!
Chapter 286
After Isaiah rose to become the head of the Celestial Dragon family and annexed one-third of the territory of the five clan leaders, his territory became ridiculously large, spanning hundreds of miles!
This is a level that no other Celestial Dragon clan leader could even come close to!
No matter how arrogant the five clan leaders were before, including Saint Rozwald, they could only lower their heads and submit to Is's overwhelming power.
Especially Roswald Saint, who suffered the greatest loss this time, became completely dejected and listless after the incident, like a toothless tiger, spending all his time in the mansion.
According to bystanders, Roswald Saint has not left his home for three days, and his mental state is deteriorating day by day.
However, this is understandable.
Anyone would probably have experienced the same thing if they were in that situation.
They lost a third of their territory in one fell swoop, and also conveniently lost the position of chieftain—a position that represented both honor and wealth—just like that, they lost it all...
"Damn it..."
"Is there really no way out for me?"
"How hateful! How hateful!"
Roswald Saint slumped in his chair, then stood up, gritting his teeth.
If you were to ask him who he hates the most right now...
Then he would definitely say the name Is without hesitation!
Since that incident.
Roswald Saint became a laughing stock in almost the entire Celestial Dragon Holy Land!
Even the other four clan leaders gradually looked down on him and no longer respected him as before.
There was an underlying unease that some people viewed him as a clown!
The feeling of falling from such a height is truly unbearable for a human!
……
Soon after.
Is in order to further enhance his own power.
We plan to fully develop artificial fruit technology!
In this world, Devil Fruits are definitely one of the most effective ways to enhance one's combat power.
How many seemingly useless individuals have become top-tier powerhouses simply by possessing a first-rate Devil Fruit?
If Is could obtain artificial Devil Fruit technology and use it to create an endless supply of Devil Fruits, then he could create a group of Devil Fruit users who would only be loyal to him!
Is very clear.
In today's world where the strong rule, only those who are powerful enough can decide everything!
Don't be fooled by his current good relationship with Im.
But in fact.
He was always wary of Im.
He was also well aware that Im only had a superficial opinion of him; whether he truly regarded him as his successor was still questionable.
Besides Im himself, who else could possibly know what he was really thinking?
therefore.
Is was eager to expand his power. To put it bluntly, if Im really wanted to take action against him one day, he would have a place to fight back!
The more cards you have up your sleeve, the greater your chances of winning!
Having made up his mind, Is began to plan how to arrange the overall situation.
The facilities and the money are enough.
We're just lacking talent!
(Qian, Li, Zhao)
Subsequently.
A famous name then appeared in his mind.
Vegapunk!
This enigmatic yet renowned scientist is undoubtedly the world's greatest scientist.
No matter who it is, upon hearing the name Vegapunk, one must show him some respect and dare not underestimate this top talent known as the first scientist.
Others may not know, but Is knows very well!
.......
Chapter 287
For a long time afterward, Vegapunk provided the Navy with many powerful weapons!
The arrival of these powerful and bizarre weapons could change the course of the war!
Is remembers it very clearly.
The Pacifista—a terrifying weapon that was born in the near future—was created by Vegapunk himself!
If he remembers correctly...
The cost of this pacifist is equivalent to that of a warship.
However, it possesses formidable combat power!
Defeating a pirate with a bounty of hundreds of millions is practically the same as giving him a good beating!
Thinking of this, Is took a deep breath and decided to go find Vegapunk!
If we could get Vegapunk, then what would be the problem?
Is checked.
This great scientist has been discovered to be working at one of the science companies under SteelBone Space!
Without hesitation, Is made a phone call and asked Steelbone Space to send this important scientific talent over.
"Hey!"
Is Steel Bones hollow?
"I want Vegapunk!"
After hearing these words.
Steelbone Kong was still trying to think about it.
Vegapunk, who is that again?
Is there such a person among them?
Otherwise, why doesn't he have any recollection of it?
It's not that Kong has no recollection of Vegapunk, because Vegapunk hasn't become truly famous yet, nor does he have the top-tier reputation he would later achieve. So, even now, few people know what the name Vegapunk actually means.
After pondering for a moment, Steel Bone Kong readily agreed, saying, "No problem, you can take this person with you!"
Is is currently riding high and is highly valued by Im. Steelbone Kong not only doesn't want to offend Is, but is also willing to do Is a favor!
He's just a scientist, he has plenty of them!
Give it to Is, consider it doing him a favor!
As Steelbone pondered this, he even began to think it was a wonderful thing!
Did he actually make a profit?
At this moment, Kong had no idea what a heavy price he would pay for this decision...
……
It didn't take long.
Under the arrangement of the steel skeleton.
The great scientist Vegapunk came to Yis.
Upon meeting Vegapunk, Is was very enthusiastic and went over to him, saying, "Hello Vegapunk, nice to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself."
Vegapunk waved his hand and said, "Is, right? Who hasn't heard of you? Even an old man like me has heard of you to some extent."
Is smiled slightly and said, "Now that Dr. Vegapunk knows about my affairs, things are much easier. I'll get straight to the point: I'm willing to provide a large amount of funding and talent for you to research a technology!"
Vegapunk adjusted his glasses and said, "I wonder what kind of technology it is?"
Is said calmly.
"Artificial fruit."
These four short words caused Vegapunk to gasp in shock.
"I really didn't expect that."
"In this world, besides me, there is only one other person who has such a thought!"
After recovering from his shock, Vegapunk couldn't help but sigh again.
"So, you had already considered the possibility of artificial fruits before this happened?"
Is was overjoyed, as if he could already see the day when the artificial Devil Fruit would be implemented.
