Chapter 337: Production
Su Xiao's expression didn't change at all as he looked at Kumu lying on the platform.
Considering that Su Xiao was currently in a very difficult situation, he shouldn't have shown any strange emotions.
— Dr. Vegapunk, the Kuma upgrade should be completed within a couple of days, the commander has already told me to return as soon as possible, " Kizaru said. After all, he was a fleet admiral and had his own responsibilities. He couldn't stay on this island forever.
— The process will take a week or so, and you won't be able to leave until then, as the PX plan requires your abilities to be on hand.
— Ugh~, what a headache... Kizaru said and nodded, then glanced at Su Xiao.
— Byakuya, your lab is ready. I hope you enjoy it. That's where you'll be working in the future, " Kizaru said as he headed towards the lab with Su Xiao, while Vegapunk continued to work on the huge body.
Su Xiao's lab wasn't that far away from Vegapunk's lab.
After entering the lab, Su Xiao saw a pile of miscellaneous equipment. There was a huge table in the center of the room. There was a huge amount of materials arranged on it and a very comfortable looking chair was placed next to it.
Su Xiao immediately went to the table and looked at the materials. Although most of these materials were heterogeneous, they all had the same properties and were suitable for making alchemy bombs.
Taking one ingredient at a time, Su Xiao tried to create an alchemy bomb. After about forty seconds, an alchemy bomb appeared on his palm.
This time, it was slightly different from the bombs he had created in Paradise, mainly due to the fact that other materials were used to create it.
This bomb was milky white, and it felt a little more solid to the touch.
Nodding, Su Xiao glanced at the bomb's stats.
[Quality: White.
Effect: Consumes 1 Mana point to activate.
When detonated, it will deal 96 damage points within a 6-meter radius..
The bomb can change shape and can be glued to most items.
Rating: 8.
Description: This item can't be taken out of this world.]
After quickly reading the specifications, Su Xiao was satisfied. Although the damage of this bomb was slightly lower, other aspects of it didn't change in any way.
Su Xiao tossed the bomb to Kizar and said — " Since the materials aren't exactly the same, the bombs created here will have a different color and texture, but they won't have much difference in general.
Kizaru examined the bomb, then handed it to Hina.
— You can try to create such bombs yourself, but it is unlikely that you will succeed.
— We've already confirmed that even Dr. Vegapunk can't create such bombs.
Su Xiao raised his eyebrows at this.
They were too quick.
— Then we won't bother Byakuyu any more... Kizaru's voice sounded a little strange, but Su Xiao didn't care.
— Wait.
Kizaru, Sentomaru, and Hina stopped dead in their tracks.
— I'm hungry.
They were stunned, but Hina reacted first. "I'm sorry about that. I forgot to give Mr. Byakuya lunch earlier.
— My partner is too, and he eats a lot, so make five, no, make ten servings, " Su Xiao said. Considering that even the most ordinary street food in this world was delicious, he wanted to understand as quickly as possible how delicious the food in the secret Marine base was. The chef in this place was most likely really talented.
— Food will be delivered in ten minutes, may I ask, Mr. Byakuya, if you want to grab a bite or something?".. Hina quickly interviewed him, apparently becoming his secretary.
Every scientist had their own advantages. Every important person in this place had their own bodyguards and helpers.
Hina was now both Su Xiao's bodyguard and assistant.
Considering that she had the power of the Paramecium-type Ori Ori no Mi devil fruit, she was very well suited for this role. With the fruit's power, she could restrict her opponents ' movement and trap them as if in a cage by swiping her limbs through them.
If Su Xiao showed hostility at any point, she could easily stop him with the power of her fruit.
After taking off the extra clothes, Su Xiao stretched out. By this time, Su Xiao and Bubtney were the only ones left in the huge room.
Right now, he needed to create as many bombs as possible in the shortest amount of time.
The more powerful his bombs are, the more valuable he will become in the eyes of the World Government, which will allow him not to be afraid of people from the Marine Watch..
There was a large stack of materials laid out on the table, and once they were used up, someone would come and replenish the supplies.
After taking the necessary materials, a white light appeared on Su Xiao's palm. The materials gradually dissolved and a small alchemy bomb appeared on his palm.
After placing the first bomb on the table, Su Xiao quickly repeated the process.
Soon, there were already 26 bombs on the table, but because of this, Su Xiao's mana dropped to zero.
Taking out a test tube, Su Xiao drained it, and his mana reserves were completely restored in a couple of seconds.
— Mr. Byakuya, the food is ready, " Hina said softly, trying not to disturb Su Xiao.
— Bubtney, eat first, I'll join you later.
Su Xiao picked up the materials again and started building another bomb. The process wasn't complicated, and each time he created a bomb, he got a better understanding of the essence of those bombs.
This was a necessary experience that Su Xiao could use to create more powerful bombs in the future.
— Whoo-hoo-hoo! Bubtney howled, sitting in front of the food.
— Mr. Byakuya, you'd better eat first, you can always get back to making bombs.
Putting the materials aside, Su Xiao made his way to the first door.
The bedroom and eating area were separated from the lab.
— Today the main dish is Sea King meat from Kalm Belt.
After cutting off a piece of fine-looking meat, Su Xiao put it in his mouth and immediately felt it quickly fall apart into shreds.
The meat was very tender, delicious, and very low-fat.
— Would you like to eat with me?" Su Xiao looked at Hina.
— I've already eaten.
*U-u-u-u...*
Hina's stomach responded to her words, making the atmosphere in the room a little awkward.
Hina's status was a bit special. She couldn't be Su Xiao's friend.
— Su Xiao ate rather slowly, but Bubtny was very quick to devour the portions of similar meat provided to him.
Ten minutes later, Bubtney was lying on the floor with his eyes closed and a large bulge on his stomach.
Just by looking at his contented face, it was clear that he was truly happy.
The people from the Marine Patrol immediately cleared the table after Su Xiao returned to the lab.
The materials disappeared from the table at a rapid rate, and Su Xiao emptied the special tubes of liquid that were delivered to him by the people from the Marine Patrol every time, after about the same period of time.
Three hours later, more than 300 alchemy bombs had accumulated on the table.
With each bomb created, he understood them better and better, and after 300 bombs created, the speed of their creation decreased from 40 to 31 seconds..
With each bomb created, the next bomb became a little better.
Su Xiao was deep in his work. It was just him and Bubtney in the room.
Now no one dared to stay in this room unless absolutely necessary. After all, there were 300 bombs on the table. If one of them were to explode, the resulting explosion would probably kill anyone who didn't have the power of the devil fruit.
If all these bombs really do go off, apart from the admiral, most likely no one will survive.
At least in his lab, Su Xiao could do anything he wanted right now.
