Meanwhile, in the New World, off the coast of the Kingdom of Dressrosa.
[Ashiye's Laboratory]
After ending the call, Bazel returned to his pirate ship to prepare for departure.
Tom told him that Ashie had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Ashiye? Is it about that machine?"
Tom nodded and said, "It seems so. Asiye said he's in trouble; he lacks the soul to experiment with."
soul-·
Bazell had actually been considering this for a long time.
The most important aspect of a desire catcher is that it captures desires, which can also be seen as a form of consciousness.
The process of creating artificial Devil Fruits can be simple in some ways, but difficult in others.
They capture the souls of animals and then use special methods to stuff them into fruit.
After that, it's a 50% probability.
Success or failure.
The difficulty of this crucial step lies in the beginning.
How do you capture things like souls and consciousness?
That thing isn't something you can just grab by wrapping your hands in Armament Haki.
To capture a soul, you must first "see" it.
Only by "seeing" can you catch.
To put it simply, you need to have the concept of soul or consciousness in your mind.
Then they would use special methods to get their hands on them.
The reason why Bazel did not inquire about the progress of the machine's construction during the voyage was largely because he was cultivating his awareness in this area.
While the development of Devil Fruits is conducted within reasonable and compliant boundaries, it can take different directions depending on the user's understanding and imagination.
The head of the spirit snake.
This snake head was originally part of the disaster.
Although the poison of Naraku is named as such, upon closer examination, this aura is less like snake venom and more like an alternative soul consciousness.
The living dead resurrected by the poison of Naraku only retain a portion of their fighting instincts from their previous lives.
After being transformed into the Shadow of Orochi, it became a complete product of the soul.
According to the development stages of Bazell.
There is still potential for further development of the ability "Shadow of Orochi".
But this time it's not progress, it's regression.
The Shadow of Orochi: Awakening
By fully awakening the Shadow of Orochi, one can control the elements.
But what Bazel is doing now is not to continue strengthening the awakening, but to put the Phantom Serpent Spirit into a complete slumber.
Entering a dream!
What Bazell wanted to do was not to enter a dream in the literal sense.
When people fall asleep, they are often unaware of their own bodies. If we were to make a bolder conjecture, we could say that while the body is in a state of dormancy, the soul enters some unknown spiritual realm.
The dreams that humans have may be the experiences that the soul goes through in that realm!
The same reason.
Bazel plans to use his dream-entering ability to allow the Phantom Serpent Spirit to enter the "spiritual realm" that does not exist in the perception of the living!
Then, he retrieved the necessary element for the Devil Fruit—soul consciousness—from it.
The two are then merged through the machine created by Asiye.
This will allow us to create truly high-purity artificial Devil Fruits!
but·-
This sounds easy, but in reality, it gave Bazell a real headache.
Upon entering the laboratory, Barzel spoke frankly.
"I need more time."
"Ashiye, do you know about hypnosis?"
Ahsiye didn't understand, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Human potential is limitless, and some of that potential needs to be activated through self-suggestion."
"The cognition formed by self-suggestion can be regarded as the subconscious."
Bazel pointed to his heart, then moved to his temple.
"If the subconscious mind within the soul can successfully etch suggestive cognition into the body and tell the self—I can do this,
Then there's a very high probability that the matter will succeed.
"My new ability is still in its nascent stage."
He snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a semi-transparent, phantom-like serpent spirit emerged from his sleeve.
His eyes were completely different from when he was awake; he looked sleepy with his eyelids half-closed.
"Once it's completely asleep, it might be able to provide what you need for your experiments."
"Sleeping down—that feels weird, is it one of your special moves?" Ashie asked, puzzled.
"Just think of it as the power of my Devil Fruit; that might make it easier for you to accept."
Barzel was too lazy to continue explaining the role of the subconscious and suggestion.
He is proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy and Life Return, and one of the heads of Yamata no Orochi is the ultimate body control power.
The reason why the "Entering Dreams" technique progresses so quickly is inseparable from the power of life restoration and body control.
Combat instinct is a memory that the body develops through long-term fighting and killing.
The subconscious mind is a tool for mentally hypnotizing the body.
With proper physical cooperation, this ability should be acquired soon.
"The research on the Desire Catcher can be temporarily suspended. It's not too late to restart it after my new ability is fully developed."
Bazel comforted the haggard-looking Ashie.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You don't get fat overnight. Take things one step at a time, and you'll succeed eventually."
"You need to rest, Ashie."
"If you really can't stay idle, you can consider how to create and control the island cloud. This is the real problem that's troubling us right now."
"The foundation of Takamagahara is a solid and controllable island cloud."
"As long as a sturdy island cloud can be constructed above Wano Country to support the small island, I will solve the problem of connecting the top and bottom of the road."
Barzel's words were not just empty talk.
If Asiya can really create the island cloud, the road connecting Wano Country and Takamagahara will be solved in no time.
The sunstone of the giants is the quickest method.
Just like the underworld and the world of the living in Elbaf, they used sunstones to draw rainbow routes that provided passage for ships.
This not only ensures the safety of Takamagahara, but also maximizes its cool factor.
"Bazaar, are you talking about Island Cloud? I suddenly thought of a great place."
Just then, "Hanafza's voice came from the direction of the door."
Have you heard of Visalia, the country known for its favorable weather patterns?
Visalia?
After a moment's thought, Barzel recalled the origins of this weather country.
The place where Nami stayed during the two-year agreement in the original work.
"I've heard about them. What happened to them?"
Hanafza handed over the newspaper, smiling with narrowed eyes:
"Their research funding seems to have run out, and they're looking for struggling countries in the newspapers that need meteorological assistance—for a fee, of course."
"How about we lure them here and then recruit them?"
Bazel did not answer immediately, but instead looked down and began to search for articles in the newspaper related to Visalia.
Finally, in a small corner of the last page of the newspaper, Bazel saw the news.
[#Vesalia: We are a country specializing in meteorological science. We can help any country with meteorological needs, such as rain, sunshine, or strong winds. Payment details: PM me. Den Den Mushi ID: 03####]
"Are you trash, Hanafza? They're a bunch of middle-aged and elderly single dogs."
Bazel turned the newspaper upside down and pointed to a group of men wearing magician hats in the corner of the news section.
"Why lie? We should reason with them and appeal to their emotions."
Hanafza's eyes widened: "We're pirates! You're not really going to pay, are you?!"
"Pay?"
Bazel chuckled:
"Who do you think you are? When have you ever seen me with anything like a Pele in my pocket?"
Hanafza: ·—
Why is this guy so arrogant?
"Don't even mention me. Go ask the entire Beast Pirates. If they can scrape together 1 Berries, I'll consider them amazing."
"Now that you mention it—"
Hanafza suddenly knelt down, and a shadow appeared in the background.
"Our Beasts Pirates seem to be the poorest pirate crew ever. Boss Kaido doesn't care, and neither do you—"
"I spent all my Berries on Fishman Island last time."
"The Beasts Pirates' future is bleak—"
"No, no, no, Hanafza, you have to look at it from a different perspective. The future of all beasts is very bright."
Bazel smiled and took out a Den Den Mushi, then dialed Visalia's contact Den Den Mushi.

Kacha--
"This is Visalia, do you need any help?"
"We do need help. Where is your country located now?"
Upon hearing that business was coming, Den Den Mushi's expression suddenly became somewhat obsequious.
"Haha, esteemed guest, we're happy to serve you no matter where you are!"
"No extra travel expenses are required from you!!"
"That's wonderful! We're in Wano Country in the New World. How long will it take you to arrive?"
