Pirates: Get Genetic Technology at the Start

The two of them were so busy that they had to face each other.

Bartholomew Bear was holding a book and reading quietly.

Hearing the footsteps walking into the laboratory, he looked up and unexpectedly saw Vegapunk leading a tall and thin man into the laboratory.

“He is the new Shichibukai, Bartholomew Bear.”

Vegapunk briefly introduced Bear’s identity, and then pulled Reddy to design an experiment, with no intention of introducing Reddy to Bear.

Bear quietly watched Vegapunk discussing with the man, and a question mark popped up in his mind.

“Dr. Vegapunk has started studying devil fruits again?”

After Vegapunk used Kaido’s bloodline factor to create the first perfect artificial devil fruit, research in this area has slowed down significantly, even to the point of stagnation.

Because of his daughter Bonnie’s illness, Xiong has known Vegapunk for many years, but this is the first time he has seen Vegapunk so interested in devil fruits.

Xiong put down the book and listened quietly to the two of them designing an experiment.

“In the field of bloodline factors, you are the best in the world.”

Vegapunk was attracted by Reddy’s various novel ideas, especially when designing experiments, he gave him a lot of inspiration, and he couldn’t help but praise him.

Xiong’s heart moved slightly.

His daughter Bonnie suffers from a rare jade scale disease, and many famous doctors have only concluded that Bonnie will not live beyond ten years old.

In desperation, he can only come to Vegapunk, hoping that this world’s number one scientist can cure his daughter.

The man in front of him seems to be more suitable than Vegapunk.

Reddy accepted Vegapunk’s praise without hesitation.

“Dr. Vegapunk…”

Xiong was embarrassed to ask Reddy directly, and instead tactfully reminded Vegapunk to introduce himself.

Vegapunk just remembered it at this time, and casually introduced: “He is Dr. Reddy. There should be no one in the world who is more proficient in the field of bloodline factors than him. Perhaps only he can cure Bonnie’s disease.”

Xiong’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Reddy with excitement, and solemnly requested: “Dr. Reddy, Bonnie is only five years old. She should have a better life. I am willing to pay any price. Please make sure to cure her.”

Vegapunk added: “In order to cure Bonnie, Xiong sold himself to the World Government, became a Seven Warlords of the Sea, and accepted my transformation at the same time.”

Reddy glanced at Xiong.

Xiong’s eyes were firm.

Reddy was silent for a moment, and then he said: “I need to… um, check Bonnie.”

“I’ll call Bonnie over now.”

Xiong smiled, smiling like a child nearly seven meters tall, and immediately stood up to find Bonnie.

“This place is not suitable for examination.”

Reddy glanced at the laboratory and said that the examination he wanted to do was very simple, and the laboratory environment was not suitable for a five-year-old girl.

“This…”

Bear looked at Vegapunk hesitantly, and his confidence in Reddy was shaken.

Can a routine examination determine the condition?

Too unscientific!

Vegapunk shrugged and gave Bear a comforting look.

The three of them left the laboratory on the first floor of the basement.

“Bonnie, he is Dr. Reddy.”

Bear took Bonnie’s hand and walked in front of Reddy, trying to dispel Bonnie’s vigilance with a gentle smile.

“What a beautiful gem, I’m jealous of you.”

Reddy bent down, supported his hands on his knees, and looked at the blue stone under Bonnie’s right eye with an expression of envy and jealousy.

“Hehehe, right, my dad likes it very much.”

Bonnie raised her chin proudly, and suddenly felt that Reddy was very pleasing to the eye, second only to her father.

“Give me a chance, I also want to have such a beautiful gem.”

Reddy proposed to draw a little blood from Bonnie, and bluntly wanted to find the origin of the blue stone from the bloodline factor.

Bonnie generously stretched out her arm: “Go ahead, I’m not afraid of pain.”

Kong saw this scene and liked Reddy even more.

He took Bonnie to visit many famous doctors, but none of them, including Vegapunk, took care of Bonnie’s emotions as attentively as Reddy did.

Reddy soon got Bonnie’s blood sample, quietly put it into the gene bank, and started genetic analysis while teasing Bonnie.

“Huh?”

Reddy unexpectedly discovered that Bonnie’s genes contained the ability of the Devil Fruit, and after thinking about it carefully, he let it go.

Bear sold himself to the World Government in exchange for the opportunity for Vegapunk to treat Bonnie, and it was not too much to ask for a Devil Fruit as a bonus.

Reddy was very interested in Bonnie’s ability of the Yearly Fruit

Not interested, looking for the pathogenic gene fragment of Jade Scales in the stained gene fragments.

Jade Scales was inherited from Bonnie by her mother Ginny, and it is naturally a genetic disease.

Reddy soon found the pathogenic gene fragment.

The color in the gene analysis laboratory is a dark green.

This dark green gene fragment is widely distributed in the gene chain, and it is not easy to completely eliminate it.

“Go and have fun, I will tell you my adventure story with the Golden Lion next time.”

Reddy made a diagnosis and sent Bonnie away with a smile. After Bonnie left, he couldn’t help but sigh.

The bear suddenly became nervous.

He had a deep friendship with Bonnie’s mother. If it weren’t for the identity of the Bakani tribe, the two would have become husband and wife.

After Ginny died, he treated Bonnie as his own daughter.

However, Bonnie inherited Ginny’s Jade Scales and could not live more than ten years old.

Bonnie is now five years old, and there are only five years left.

“I have two treatment options.”

Reddy’s next words made Xiong overjoyed.

Vegapunk said with emotion: “At present, I have only found one possible way to cure Bonnie… You are indeed the best in the world in this field.”

“Please, Dr. Reddy.”

Xiong clasped his hands together and looked at Reddy with excitement.

Reddy shrugged: “Before treatment, we must first make sure that Bonnie’s lesions have not spread.”

Xiong listened very carefully.

Jade scale disease can be regarded as a kind of cancer.

Therefore, gene therapy can be used… that is, to introduce exogenous normal genes into target cells, and use the normal metabolism of cells to correct or compensate for defects and abnormal genes, thereby curing the disease.

Once the lesion spreads, it will be difficult to cure it.

Reddy already knows Bonnie’s condition.

Bonnie can be cured by simply removing the pathogenic gene fragments in the gene chain.

And he has two options.

One is to use normal means to introduce Bonnie’s normal genes into the lesions, and use the metabolism of cells to replace the abnormal genes under the premise of inhibiting the metabolism of abnormal genes.

The second is to use virus-mediated gene transfer, that is, to use the special characteristics of the virus to forcibly intervene in the gene chain and correct abnormal genes.

Each of the two plans has its own advantages.

Reddy prefers the second plan. After all, in the metabolic process, the gene chain also has a very small probability of mutation, leading to unknown consequences.

“I suggest choosing the second plan.”

Vegapunk actively expressed: “Dr. Reddy’s plan has given me a lot of inspiration. I can cooperate with Dr. Reddy to improve this plan… Maybe Bonnie can also get huge benefits.”

Reddy looked sideways.

He also guessed what Vegapunk was thinking.

The premise of using virus-mediated gene transfer is to cultivate special RNA viruses and use the reverse transcriptase they carry to correct the pathogenic genes.

In this process, specific genes can be added to make Bonnie’s genes have higher potential.

In short, this treatment will transform Bonnie into a superhuman.

Hearing this, Xiong firmly chose the second plan: “Dr. Reddy, Dr. Vegapunk… Bonnie is in your hands.”
