But the next moment, the doctor closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Clean up the doctor and let him rest properly!" Sengoku frowned as he spoke to Dr. Vegapunk assistant.
The assistant quickly nodded and led Dr. Vegapunk out of the laboratory. Sengoku, still frowning, hurried straight to Mary Geoise.
....
Mary Geoise, the Room of Authority.
Sengoku took a deep breath and walked in.
"What news do you have this time?" The Five Elders asked with furrowed brows.
Nowadays, whenever Sengoku came to the Room of Authority, it was usually to report some bad news. The Five Elders were starting to feel a bit apprehensive about seeing Sengoku. Who knows what kind of bad news Pryce inventions would bring this time!
"Take a look at this!" Sengoku handed over the photo in his hand. In the photo were two or three white circular buildings. Numerous pirates stood at the entrance, lining up.
"What is this?" The chubby elder asked with a puzzled frown.
"This is the latest invention of Pryce from the Whitebeard Pirates!" Sengoku sighed as he spoke. Why did such talent end up in the hands of pirates?
"What?"
"Another new invention?" The long-haired, long-bearded elder stood up in shock.
"Tell us, what is this invention?" The chubby elder also asked with a hint of resignation.
"According to our informants, it's a rather miraculous device!"
"It's said to have a peculiar gravity system that can accelerate training!" Sengoku reported seriously, though even he found it hard to believe!
"A gravity system?"
"Accelerate training?"
"How is that possible?" The Five Elders frowned, unable to believe it.
"That seems to be the case!"
"And what's even more astonishing is that spending ninety days inside this building is equivalent to just one day in the outside world!" Sengoku said in shock.
"Impossible!"
"That defies common sense!" The Five Elders exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hasn't Pryce done plenty of things that defy common sense?" Sengoku retorted directly.
This left the Five Elders speechless. Indeed, the Senzu Beans, the Teleportation Talismans—which of these didn't defy common sense? Pryce had already given them too many unbelievable things! But something that manipulated time and gravity was still beyond their comprehension!
"Should we attack this place?" The chubby elder asked uncertainly, looking at the other Five Elders.
"No!"
"Absolutely not!" The sword-wielding elder and Sengoku spoke in unison.
"Not to mention that the execution of Fire Fist Ace is imminent!"
"But according to our informants, almost all the combatants and division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates are currently there!"
"Launching a reckless attack would require mobilizing a massive force!"
"And right now, most of our forces are still on their way to Marine Headquarters!"
"There's simply not enough time!" Sengoku said earnestly.
"Yes, for now, let's gather our forces and prepare to execute Fire Fist Ace!"
"As for this place, once this matter is settled, we must launch a full-scale attack!" The sword-wielding elder nodded and said.
"Alright, don't let Pryce new invention distract us!"
"Even if his invention is remarkable, the Navy is still the undisputed ruler of the seas!"
"This is something you can't doubt!" The long-haired, long-bearded elder said earnestly.
After Sengoku nodded, he immediately left the room of power.
...
The New World, Moby Dick.
At this point, Pryce had already decided to stop managing the operations of the Time Chamber. After all, since the suitable gravity levels for the fighters had been determined, all that was needed now was to control the number of people entering the Time Chamber each day!
Moreover, once the Time Chamber for the Shanks' pirate crew was completed and delivered to Shanks' territory, the system had already notified Pryce about the completion of the Time Chamber's production.
After packing up his things, Pryce locked himself in his room.
"System, unlock the next item for production!" Pryce sat cross-legged on the bed and directly spoke to the system in his mind.
"Detected that system owner Pryce has completed the production of the Time Chamber. Now unlocking the next item!"
"Congratulations, you have unlocked the Explosive Tag!" The electronic voice of the system announced.
"Explosive Tag?"
"An Explosive Tag from the Naruto world?" Pryce exclaimed in delight. Although he had already unlocked three items, all of them were for assisting in combat, not direct combat tools. Now, this Explosive Tag perfectly addressed that issue!
After being activated, the Explosive Tag would explode after a certain period, with a power comparable to a high-level Fire Release jutsu from a Jonin! Despite being just a thin piece of paper, its destructive power was immense!
Most importantly, it could be used in stacks! Imagine the spectacle of a hundred grenades exploding! How spectacular would that be!
And what made Pryce even happier was that the price of the Explosive Tag was ridiculously cheap! Just 1000 Beri per tag! What does that mean? Pryce felt like this was a groundbreaking first.
A single Senzu Bean was costly, and the Teleportation Talisman cost hundreds of millions! Not to mention the Time Chamber, which was like a money-sucking machine, with each one costing a whopping three billion!
Although the Whitebeard Pirates' Senzu Bean business was booming on the black market, they couldn't keep spending tens of billions like this! But now, with the Explosive Tag, everything was different! This item not only provided the Whitebeard Pirates' fighters with powerful firepower but also didn't cost much!
Not only was Pryce thrilled, but even Whitebeard and the others would probably laugh out loud when they heard the price!
And the most terrifying thing about this Explosive Tag was that people in this world had no idea what it was! Imagine throwing out hundreds of Explosive Tags during a battle with a Navy—they wouldn't even know what hit them! It would definitely catch them off guard in combat!
Moreover, these Explosive Tags were extremely convenient to carry! And they could also be used as traps! If he were to dig a pit and place tens of thousands of explosive tags in it, Pryce couldn't even imagine the scene the moment they detonated.
"Explosion is art!" Pryce muttered under his breath.
"Explosive Tag Production Progress: 0/100 million" The system's electronic voice chimed in at the right moment.
A hundred million? Pryce was momentarily surprised by the number, but the cost wasn't an issue.
