Chapter 236 Power and Pain Are Inseparable
……
"It's been almost ten years, hasn't it... research on the Sharingan..."
In the laboratory, Vegapunk murmured.
Dozens of blood-red eyes floated in the giant culture tank, slowly rotating as if watching something.
"I am certain that this is not the power of this world, but contains endless mysteries."
"At first, I thought it was just an organ mutation of some special race, with brain neural interference triggered by vision, like the Mink Tribe's reaction to the full moon."
"I quickly realized something was wrong."
"The first batch of cloned eyes was completed in almost a week, but they were all defective, even more unstable than Caesar's inferior artificial fruit."
"The experiment has been stalled for a long time. I know something crucial is missing, but I don't know what it is."
"Until five and a half years ago, with the addition of that person, the first batch of Sharingan could be used by ordinary people. Even for untrained people, the speed of combat prediction increased by more than 300%."
"But this power comes at a price; the more frequently it is used, the faster the eyes will be damaged."
……
"That person's power has increased. Before I could perfectly replicate the Sharingan, he had evolved to a higher level."
"It's amazing, this is the first time I've ever felt like I've been surpassed."
"I know I'm missing a part of my important memories. I could try to remember them, but I won't do that."
"Because I know... the day I remember, I will die."
"At least for now, I can't die."
"He showed me a higher level of Sharingan... This doesn't conform to normal biological evolution, at least not from my personal perception..."
"This is a revolutionary mutation, hundreds or even thousands of times more complex than a three-tomoe Sharingan!"
……
"As the experiment progressed, I discovered a horrifying truth."
"These eyes are the embodiment of the spirit; they are not merely organs or tools, but also the inheritance of an unknown sequence."
"Using pain as a code, we lock power within the double helix of genes and bloodline."
"What kind of origin could have allowed this thing to be passed down and descend upon this world across the distance of different worlds?"
Sometimes I have a strange dream.
"I dreamt of that unknown world, where giant eyes replaced the alternation of the sun and moon, and everyone lived in a dream woven by these eyes."
"It's not impossible; at least I haven't seen the limits of its evolution."
……
……
"The Five Elders have been closely monitoring the research progress."
"They asked me to equip the pacifists and those few creations with Sharingan. I made it clear to them that these eyes involve mind manipulation, and misuse could cause very dangerous things."
"Satan Saint, who contacted me, said there was no problem. They have more advanced mental technology and all they need is the weapon attribute of the Sharingan."
"Okay... Anyway, I reminded him that he should live up to the funding from the World Government."
……
He picked up a pen and wrote on the last page of the experiment log:
[Summary of Experiment 7923]
The research on the Sharingan has come to an end.
I hope to use the power of technology to create a world where everyone can share energy.
"Power and pain are inseparable"—that's the concept it gave me, which is why I don't like it.
……
He put down his pen and glanced at the spinning eyes.
"Perhaps what we should really do is not learn to use you... but learn to distance ourselves from you."
The lights in the laboratory went out one by one, and Vegapunk walked with his hands behind his back to another laboratory.
"The violent fluctuations at Marineford... that unusual reaction is similar to the unusual spatial fluctuations I detected underwater..."
"I feel like... well, that's not quite the right word, I should say..."
"Based on data analysis, a monumental change that will impact the entire world is inevitable!"

"Sa...Satan Saint!!!"
"What brings you here!?"
Aside from World Conferences, the Five Elders, who hold the highest authority in the World Government, almost never appear in public.
Maintaining a necessary distance and a sense of mystery is a basic quality of those in positions of power.
The Five Elders, with their centuries-old authority, were like divine mandate, causing many naval soldiers to instinctively kneel.
Naval regulations stipulate that officers of rank below regent must avoid seeing the "true face" of Satan Saint; any disrespect will result in execution!
The fierce battle paused briefly, and even those who had decided to follow Allen to the bitter end couldn't help but tremble when they actually saw the supreme authority appear.
……
"snort!!"
Satan coldly surveyed the crowd before responding to Sengoku: "You haven't answered my question yet, why haven't you made a move!"
"Two generations of knights died before your eyes... Do you still deserve to sit in the position of Fleet Admiral?!"
"this……"
Zhan Guo was speechless, unsure how to respond.
Kind-hearted Allen came to his rescue.
"You're only bullying me because you're a coward, Sengoku. I'm the murderer right here, why don't you bark at me like a dog?"
All eyes were on them.
Allen's casual posture, sitting on the tattered ship plank beneath him, gave the impression of a battlefield commander.
The same mocking smirk still lingered on his lips.
"What are you afraid of? He's nothing but a piece of trash who can't even compare to Shanks."
……
"Judging solely by ability, without considering status...?"
General Tsuru's forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he whispered, "Those are the Five Elders! Now that he's arrived, Sengoku and the others can't just stand by and do nothing..."
Allen raised his hand to signal her to be quiet, his eyes once again turning crimson.
"Hey, Lord Satan!"
"Long time no see, aren't you going to say hello?"
"It can't be that he has dementia and has forgotten my handsome face, which even a blind person could remember!"
When Allen activated the kaleidoscope, Satan lowered his head.
With the lessons of the past still fresh in his mind, he wasn't about to be foolish enough to meet those eyes again.
This phenomenon also made Lieutenant General Tsuru and the others realize the situation, and their positive feelings towards the Five Elders were greatly diminished.
The so-called supreme authority dared not even look their generals in the eye!
What do we have to be afraid of?!
"A childish act of provocation..."
Satan sneered, "Your death day is today. I have nothing to say to a dead man."
"Navy, heed my command! Join forces with the Knights of God to annihilate the traitors led by Uchiha Allen!!"
……
……
"Damn it! Even if I personally descended to the mortal realm, I couldn't command you?!"
No one moved. The officers who hadn't been kneeling before knelt on one knee, their heads bowed low.
This is a seemingly humble and silent, yet deafening, form of resistance.
Apart from the marshals and generals, only Garp was still standing.
"Satan Saint, you should go back first! Sengoku is in charge here, and we will take action when the time is right."
Garp, who was lying dead somewhere just moments ago, stepped forward, showing no signs of having just been knocked unconscious by a punch.
