· In the original story…
Orochimaru had done countless things in his relentless pursuit of immortality.
So, as long as Ryan was willing to offer him even the possibility of eternal life…
Orochimaru would never object to working for him.
With that thought in mind…
Ryan saw no reason to oppose the idea.
Seeing his reaction, Tsunade let out a quiet sigh of relief before continuing.
“Actually…” “Recruiting Orochimaru isn’t just about human experimentation.” “I also want to research Devil Fruits together with him.” “During Robin’s examination…” “I discovered that the power of Devil Fruits is incredibly fascinating.” “So I want to work with Orochimaru.” “Perhaps…” “We can accomplish what Vegapunk did…” “And successfully replicate Devil Fruits.” Robin’s eyes lit up.
After reading the manga…
She already understood Tsunade’s and Orochimaru’s abilities.
While neither of them possessed Vegapunk’s all-around genius…
When it came to biological and human research…
They were certainly no less capable.
If they truly succeeded in replicating Devil Fruits…
She could contact the Revolutionary Army…
And turn every one of its members into Devil Fruit users.
If the Revolutionary Army possessed an entire army of Devil Fruit users…
Overthrowing the World Government would no longer seem impossible.
No matter how powerful Imu was…
Could they really defeat a hundred Devil Fruit users?
A thousand?
Ten thousand?
A hundred thousand?
And how many masters did the Five Elders have?
Robin immediately made up her mind.
She had to become part of this project.
Only then could she share in its results.
No…
Perhaps there was an even better solution.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
“If you’re planning to study Devil Fruit abilities…” “I know several excellent candidates.” Tsunade turned toward her.
Robin continued, “What do you think about the Devil Fruit users within the Revolutionary Army?” Tsunade’s eyes brightened.
“That’s actually an excellent idea.” Unlike the World Government…
The Revolutionary Army was an organization they could genuinely cooperate with.
And it possessed quite a number of Devil Fruit users.
Emporio Ivankov…
Commander of the Grand Line Army…
User of the Horm-Horm Fruit.
Inazuma…
Deputy Commander of the Grand Line Army…
User of the Snip-Snip Fruit.
Belo Betty…
Commander of the East Army…
User of the Pump-Pump Fruit.
Morley…
Commander of the West Army…
A giant…
And the user of the Push-Push Fruit.
Karasu…
Commander of the North Army…
A Logia user possessing the Soot-Soot Fruit.
And beyond them…
Their leader, Monkey D.
Dragon, was also a Devil Fruit user.
Judging from the manga…
Dragon possessed the ability to summon violent storms…
Strongly suggesting a Logia-type power.
However…
As the story progressed…
Many readers began to believe that Mythical Zoan Fruits were the true pinnacle.
The Five Elders all possessed Mythical Zoan abilities.
Many members of the God’s Knights did as well.
Because of that…
Dragon might also possess a Mythical Zoan…
Perhaps even one connected to a legendary dragon.
If they could study those abilities…
It would greatly increase their chances of successfully replicating Devil Fruits.
More importantly…
The Revolutionary Army regarded Robin as the Light of the Revolution.
If Robin personally approached them…
There was a very real possibility that they would agree to cooperate.
At the same time…
Both women turned to Ryan.
Whether the cooperation happened…
And under what conditions…
Ultimately depended on him.
After all…
Ryan alone possessed the power to connect different worlds.
Without his help…
Not only would cooperation be impossible…
They wouldn’t even have the chance to meet.
Feeling both women looking at him…
Ryan leaned back against the sofa.
“You two can decide that yourselves.” “I have no objections.” “To be honest…” “I’m not particularly interested in fighting.” “What I want is simple.” “I want to travel to places I’ve never visited…” “And eat food I’ve never tasted.” “Of course…” “If I can obtain a few supernatural abilities along the way…” “I certainly won’t complain.” “As for all the fighting…” “You can handle it yourselves.” “If you ever need my help…” “Just let me know.” “I won’t refuse.” Tsunade and Robin exchanged glances.
Both could see the excitement in each other’s eyes.
As long as Ryan wasn’t opposed…
Their plan was already halfway to success.
Robin immediately stood up.
“I should return now and contact the Revolutionary Army.” “I also need to deal with Crocodile.” “I can’t stay away for too long.” At the moment…
She was still Crocodile’s subordinate.
If she disappeared for too long…
It would inevitably arouse his suspicion.
Before she mastered chakra…
Learned ninjutsu…
And became strong enough to surpass Crocodile…
She still needed to remain patient and continue hiding her true intentions.
“Very well.” Tsunade didn’t try to stop her.
“I’ll meet with Orochimaru shortly.” “Once we’ve developed a complete plan…” “We’ll inform you.” Robin nodded before looking directly at Ryan.
“Thank you for everything…” “Lord Ryan.” Ryan stood up and walked over to one of the sliding doors.
He pushed it open.
On the other side…
Was Robin’s room in the One Piece world.
Robin stepped forward on her long, graceful legs.
As she passed Ryan…
She smiled softly.
“The next time we meet…” “I’ll have a surprise for you.” “Please look forward to it.” Ryan couldn’t help smiling.
His curiosity had already been piqued.
“All right.” “I’ll be looking forward to it.” “Don’t disappoint me.” Robin smiled confidently.
“I won’t.” With that…
Ryan closed the sliding door…
Severing the connection between the two worlds once more.
Turning back toward Tsunade…
He asked curiously, “What do you think Robin meant by that surprise?” Tsunade shrugged.
“No idea.” “Maybe gold.” “Maybe delicious food.” “Or perhaps…” “A Devil Fruit.” “She’s currently the second-in-command of Baroque Works.” “She has access to all of the organization’s resources.” “For someone in her position…” “Obtaining a Devil Fruit may not be particularly difficult.” Ryan nodded thoughtfully.
That made perfect sense.
Devil Fruits were priceless to ordinary people.
But for Robin…
They weren’t nearly as unattainable.
After all…
Several members of Baroque Works already possessed Devil Fruit abilities.
She really might be able to acquire one.
“If possible…” “I hope she manages to find a particularly powerful Devil Fruit.” “That depends on luck.” Tsunade replied.
“Devil Fruits themselves aren’t especially rare.” “But truly powerful ones…” “Are much harder to come by.” “True enough.” Creak…
At that moment…
The front door of Tsunade’s house opened.
Shizune’s voice echoed from the entrance.
“Tsunade-sama.” “I’ve brought the person you wanted to meet.” Ryan and Tsunade both turned toward the foyer.
Shizune walked inside with her usual brisk pace.
Following behind her…
Was a young man with white hair…
Round glasses…
And a gentle, friendly smile.
It was none other than…
Kabuto Yakushi.
