Chapter 574: Sky-Air Mother Nest, Questioning Stussy
When the even larger Sky-Air Mother Nest appeared, Salama and Stussy were once again shocked.
They hadn't yet recovered.
A curious voice sounded from the side.
"Where did you find another Rookie? Ignis."
A young man stood with his arms crossed at the entrance connecting the Sky-Air Carrier to the Sky-Air Mother Nest.
"Garp?"
Seeing that familiar appearance, Stussy's pupils suddenly constricted, and she couldn't help but blurt it out.
However, quickly noticing the overly young appearance, coupled with Sound Nest's mastery of technology, Stussy reacted, realizing that the person before her was not the real Garp.
Although she herself mastered cloning technology, the organization Ignis established was cloning Garp!
Combining the technological capabilities currently exhibited, it was enough to show how terrifying this organization was.
Ignis naturally wouldn't think that all of this was built by him from scratch; behind it was naturally the support of Hades.
"Let me introduce you, Stussy and Salama. He inherited Newgate's bloodline."
Ignis introduced them to Garp.
Hearing Salama's true identity, Garp looked at Salama in surprise.
This was something he hadn't expected; Whitebeard actually had a son.
"Buckingham Sarama."
Salama walked up to Garp, extended his hand, and spoke politely.
He didn't look down on Garp just because he was a Clone.
He could feel that the not-so-tall body contained terrifying strength, like a dormant volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Seemingly ordinary, yet it filled him with pressure.
Unlike the real Garp, Sound Nest Garp was more aggressive, and his personality was more forceful and dominant.
This was a very intuitive feeling.
"Interesting."
A strange light flashed in Garp's eyes.
This little guy who inherited Whitebeard's bloodline didn't seem to care about his father, specifically stating his surname, taking his mother's surname, and deliberately emphasizing this point.
"Haha! Let's get along well from now on. We'll see how your power is later."
Garp laughed heartily and patted Salama's shoulder.
As the new young monster, he naturally had to properly put him through his paces.
His thick arm wrapped around Salama's neck, and the strength, too powerful to resist, directly pulled Salama towards the Sky-Air Mother Nest's training ground.
He could still do this now, but when Salama's body grew a bit taller, he wouldn't be able to.
Ignis and Stussy were left standing there.
Regarding Garp's attitude, Ignis was permissive, or rather, very tolerant, granting him a great degree of freedom.
Even if Garp wanted to venture out onto the Great Sea, he wouldn't impose mandatory restrictions.
However, it wasn't time for Sound Nest to emerge yet.
Occasionally, Garp would also take the Sky-Air Carrier with Abraham to the Pluto Sea Area and spend a couple of days on Paros Island.
"Your laboratory is ready. We'll go take a look later."
"You can tell me anytime if you need any equipment or test subjects."
Ignis took Stussy on a tour inside the Sky-Air Mother Nest.
For an intelligent scientist, it wouldn't be that difficult; a topographic map would be enough for her to understand the internal structure of the Sky-Air Mother Nest.
Because Ignis actually had something else to ask.
It just wasn't convenient before.
Clone soldiers wearing ordinary battle suits stood on both sides of the path.
As if having discarded emotions, they had no reaction to the arrival of the two, prioritizing duty fulfillment.
These were clone soldiers mass-produced by Ignis.
The genetic source of each clone was an elite from Sound Nest.
In a few more years, as the number of clone legions further increased.
Ignis would form multiple mercenary groups, participating in conflicts around the world, instigating conflicts to gain more profit.
He would even make them compete with each other.
"Go ahead, what else do you want to know?"
Stussy had long since noticed that Ignis seemed to have something he wanted to ask, and asked with a smile.
"The first clone you created, the Stussy that Vegapunk created using your genes, can you determine her location?"
"I know Vegapunk arranged for her to join the World Government."
"Although I don't know what Vegapunk wanted to do, since he is already dead, it would be better if her authority was in my hands."
"Of course, she should be an independent individual now. If possible, I'd like to talk to her."
Ignis didn't hide his ulterior motive, the idea of recruiting Stussy's first clone.
As the first clone researched by Vegapunk, Ignis felt that Stussy wasn't a simple clone.
It was highly likely that Vegapunk had added something to her genes.
After all, at that time, Vegapunk had already begun research on the Life Design Blueprint.
Perfect cloning technology also derived from the Life Design Blueprint.
"I'm sorry, you think too highly of me. From the moment she was born, she had no connection with me. She belonged to Vegapunk. There's no way I could have done anything under Vegapunk's nose."
"However, you're right. Vegapunk is already dead. Whatever plans he had will be reset. If you can find her, I won't mind whatever you do."
"She inherited most of my memories before I left the MADS Research Institute. She's essentially another me."
Stussy made a small joke in front of Ignis.
Speaking of Vegapunk, Stussy still felt a bit of a sense of loss.
After all, in the eyes of all scientists, Vegapunk was a god-like figure.
Such a man was bound to shine brightly, yet he died so easily.
However, she couldn't have imagined that the murderer was actually right in front of her.
"Is that so?"
Ignis wasn't disappointed.
It was best if he could get the information, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.
If that Stussy truly had talent, she would emerge eventually.
Skipping this topic.
The two finally arrived at the large cloning laboratory.
Cultivation pods surrounded them, arranged like a beehive.
And at the Core Zone, a figure was busy.
"It's you! Stussy!"
Realizing someone had entered, Doctor Ian, who turned his head while wearing glasses, said with some surprise.
Although newcomers would occasionally join the research area, this was the first time Doctor Ian had seen an acquaintance.
"From now on, she'll be working with you, Doctor Ian."
Ignis said with some expectation, and was also curious about the progress being made.
"Let me introduce our current main cloning targets."
Speaking of this, Doctor Ian became a bit excited.
Facing an expert in the same field, he also intended to showcase his current results.
There were only two cultivation pods in the Core Zone.
One seemed to have just started not long ago, containing only a tiny embryo.
In the other, a black-haired child was sleeping.
"The legend Dragon-Slaying Samurai, a strongman from hundreds of years ago. It took us some time, but we've finally begun growing him."
"To be precise, this isn't cloning, but resurrection."
Looking at the tiny embryo inside the cultivation pod, Doctor Ian was filled with immense expectation, as if looking at his own child.
"The other is the current King of Underground Fighting, Rugal. I don't know if you recognize him. I also cloned him at His Highness's request."
His attitude towards Rugal and Ryuma was like night and day.
It wasn't surprising that Doctor Ian treated them so differently.
One was a legend, while the other was just a nobody before Doctor Ian joined Sound Nest.
Doctor Ian wasn't familiar with matters on the Great Sea.
"The next research work is to combine cloning with Lineage Factor, body modification, and the fusion of bloodlines from other races."
"Of course, the cloning work isn't limited to just these. Some rare creatures, and even rare plants, are within the scope of our cloning."
