Chương 1596: Devil Fruit Stripper (1)

Through this series of operations, Charlotte Lingling was able to remotely control the first route behind the scenes and achieve her strategic goals.

After reading the information from the outside world, Ace remained silent. He closed his eyes tightly and the newspaper in his hand was crumpled.

After a while, Ace slowly opened his eyes and exhaled gently, as if the pressure in his heart was relieved a little.

Then, Ace's eyes fell on Rayleigh, his eyes full of determination and resolve.

Ace said to Rayleigh solemnly: "One year from now, I will definitely take up the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates and take back my father's territory!"

Rayleigh looked at Ace and felt his inner firmness and determination. He nodded slightly to show his recognition and support for Ace.

"This year I will focus on training your physique and domineering. During this time you may die!"

Rayleigh said with a serious face, his eyes fixed on Ace in front of him, as if he wanted to see through his body to see the determination deep in his heart.

Ace met Rayleigh's gaze without flinching, then bowed deeply and said, "Excuse me!"

His voice was firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Luffy quickly followed Ace and bent down to express his respect and gratitude to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh looked at these two young men who were full of vigor and determination, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation in his heart.

He nodded, then took Ace and Luffy to this uninhabited island in the calm belt and began their arduous training journey.

On the other side of the New World, on Kami Island, the headquarters of the Rockefeller Kingdom, an exciting experiment is underway.

"Your Majesty, the experiment was successful!"

Suddenly, an excited shout rang out in the castle, echoing throughout the Rockefeller Castle.

This voice was very familiar to Charlotte, and he immediately realized that it was the voice of Caesar Courant.

Charlotte couldn't help but feel moved. He hadn't seen the chief scientist who had been buried in the laboratory for a year or two.

Just as Charlotte was thinking, there was a "click" and the door of his office was pushed open.

Then, a figure rushed in in a panic.

Charlotte looked carefully and found that it was indeed Caesar Courant.

He was covered in dirt and his hair was messy, but his face was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Your Majesty, the experiment was successful!"

As soon as Caesar Courant saw Charlotte, he couldn't wait to speak, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Suddenly, an indescribable strange smell hit my nose.

Charlotte's brows knitted tightly involuntarily, as if her nose was irritated by the strange smell.

He looked closely and found that Caesar Courant standing in front of him was so unkempt, dirty all over, and exuding a disgusting smell.

Charlotte couldn't help but wonder, how long has it been since this guy last took a bath?

This slovenly look is really unbearable.

However, what concerned Charlotte more was that Caesar Courant declared the experiment a success as soon as he entered the room, but he refused to say which experiment was successful.

"What experiment was successful?"

Charlotte widened her eyes, stared at Caesar Courant, and asked anxiously.

"You should tell me quickly!"

Caesar Kulang seemed a little surprised by Charlotte's reaction, but he quickly regained his excitement and said to Charlotte with a happy face: "The experiment of stripping the devil fruit ability was successful! I successfully invented a technology that can harmlessly deprive the devil fruit ability of the ability user!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte stood up suddenly as if struck by lightning.

His eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

This news was a pleasant surprise to him, because this was the technology he had been looking forward to for twenty or thirty years!

"Take me to see it quickly!"

Charlotte urged impatiently, his voice full of urgency and excitement.

"Yes!"

Caesar Courant responded quickly, then took Charlotte and walked quickly towards the laboratory.

They passed through the mirror world, as if entering a completely different space, and finally arrived at the door of the laboratory.

Charlotte followed closely behind Caesar Courant and stepped into the spacious and mysterious large laboratory.

In the laboratory, a huge instrument stands in the center, like a steel behemoth.

Its exterior is covered with a thick metal shell, flashing a cold light.

"Your Majesty, this is the device that can deprive the ability of the devil fruit in the body of the ability user!"

Caesar Courant pointed excitedly at the huge monster in front of him and explained with his hands and feet gesticulating.

"Just let the user enter this device, press the button, and wait a moment, and the devil fruit will be stripped from them!"

There was irrepressible excitement in his voice, as if this was a great invention that would shock the world.

Charlotte stared at this instrument that was three stories high, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

He walked closer slowly, reached out and touched the cold metal surface, feeling its texture and weight.

"Is this... really possible?"

Charlotte muttered to herself, her eyes scanning the instrument, as if trying to find some flaws or defects in it.

"I'm pretty sure I've already experimented with it!"

Caesar Courant answered decisively, his tone full of confidence.

"This instrument is absolutely reliable and there won't be any problems!"

Charlotte still had doubts, but he decided to verify it himself.

He gave the order: "Send someone to select ten people with devil fruit abilities from the death row inmates and bring them to Laboratory No. 1!"

After the order was passed down, time passed by minute by minute.

About half an hour later, the door of the laboratory was slowly pushed open, and a team of soldiers escorted ten death row prisoners in.

These death row inmates had pale faces and empty eyes, and they were obviously filled with fear and despair about their impending fate.

Then, Charlotte notified the children in Rockefeller Castle and asked them to gather in the laboratory.

Before long, more than 20 children came to Laboratory No. 1 one after another.

As for those children who did not come, naturally, they each had their own tasks to complete and could not get away.

"Dad, you called us here, is there something important?"

Robert asked curiously.

He happened to be on vacation this month, so there was nothing special to do in Rockefeller Castle.

Charlotte smiled and replied, "I called you here because I want to show you an interesting experiment!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Caesar Courant who was standing beside him and winked at him.

Caesar Courant understood what he meant and took action immediately.

He walked quickly to a corner of the laboratory and grabbed a devil fruit user from a cage.
