One Piece: Scientist Simulator

Filling the Warship Pluton with fuel was an enormous undertaking. In the heart of the battleship lay a colossal liquid storage tank, capable of holding the vast quantities of Coke that Kaido had ordered. The five thousand barrels hauled back to Wanokuni were lined up on deck, their lids waiting to be pried open.

Of course, Edie had no intention of handling this laborious task himself.

"King, organize the crew," Kaido barked, his booming voice echoing across the shipyard. "I want this done immediately!"

King nodded without hesitation, rallying the pirates to begin pouring the Coke into the tank under Kaido's watchful eye. Meanwhile, Edie stood nearby, holding a scoop from one of the barrels, his expression contemplative.

As he examined the dark, fizzy liquid, he couldn't help but marvel at the absurdity of the situation. He had drunk Coca-Cola countless times back on Earth, and yet here it was, serving as the fuel for one of the most destructive weapons ever created.

Curiosity got the better of him. Taking a sip, he noted the familiar taste. It was almost identical to the Coke he remembered. Yet, for it to power Pluton, there had to be something unique about this world's version. "I'll need to study this in detail when I have time," Edie muttered to himself, already forming hypotheses in his mind.

His musings were interrupted by the arrival of Caesar, who floated down lightly with an almost theatrical flourish.

"Doctor Edie!" Caesar exclaimed, his tone brimming with excitement. "I've completed my research!"

"Research?" Edie asked, raising an eyebrow. "Ah… you mean the air bomb?"

"Exactly! A masterpiece of destruction!" Caesar beamed with pride. "I call it 'The Kingdom of Death'—a weapon capable of annihilating an entire country!"

He went on to explain the horrifying details of his creation. The core of the weapon was a slime, crafted from compressed hydrogen sulfide gas. It had been fed a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, giving it unique properties. When triggered by a candy fuse, the slime would explode, releasing poisonous gas that paralyzed victims and encased them in a petrified shell.

Caesar's grin stretched wide. "Doctor, this is genius! I've surpassed Vegapunk—at least in the art of mass destruction!"

Edie listened silently, his expression unreadable. He recognized the weapon as the same one Caesar would later develop in the Punk Hazard arc, but here it was, completed years earlier.

"Has it been tested?" Edie finally asked, his tone calm.

"Well… not exactly," Caesar admitted, his voice faltering. "But I've simulated it hundreds of times in my head!"

"Simulated?" Edie's gaze sharpened. "You can't rely on mental calculations alone for something like this. We need real results."

Caesar hesitated, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. "Testing it here would be… problematic. This is Kaido-sama's territory, after all."

Edie smirked, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone. "Then find a suitable target. Perhaps the Celestial Dragons?"

Caesar's face turned pale. "T-The Celestial Dragons? Doctor, don't you think that's a bit… extreme?"

Edie shrugged. "Why not? Considering their actions, I don't feel any moral obligation to spare them."

Caesar fidgeted nervously, clearly unsettled by the idea. "M-Maybe we could start with something smaller… like a pirate crew?"

"What you said makes sense. Celestial Dragons are all trash and i don't think they are too much of them alive anymore. 

Edie thought for a moment and nodded: "Let's test it on the Five Elders. 

Caesar:??? 

Doctor, do you have a misunderstanding about conservative words?

As the conversation shifted to the weapon's potential for recycling the consumed Devil Fruit, Caesar excitedly explained his latest idea. By making the slime dependent on a special chemical, he theorized that the Devil Fruit would be naturally drawn to a replacement vessel after detonation.

"You're truly something," Edie said, his tone laced with dry humor. "Only you could come up with such a convoluted method."

"W-Whoa, Doctor, you flatter me!" Caesar chuckled, scratching his head sheepishly.

"I wasn't complimenting you," Edie muttered under his breath.

"Has it been tested?"

"..." 

"Another brain test?"

"I have detailed experimental records. The drug that the Slime takes will definitely make it dependent enough that Devil Fruit will have to be reborn on what I set!" 

"I believe in your theory, but Science only respects the practical results so go back to test it out."

Edie waved his hand and told Caesar to get lost. 

He believes that Caesar can successfully recycle the Devil Fruit. Caesar in the plot probably recycled Devil Fruits in this way. 

According to his understanding of Zoan Fruits, this method has a high probability of success.

But when doing experiments, you don't believe in ambiguous high probabilities, and you only believe in the true results.

"I know, that but what about funding..."

"I will give you enough funds."

"Hey, hey, hey, please wait for my good news!"

Caesar left with satisfaction. 

It's time for dinner again!

The doctor is still very talkative. If he were at the Punk Hazard Institute, his research would not pass the first level. Even if it passed the group discussion, he would definitely be yelled out by Vegapunk. 

Huh, wait Vegapunk, I will soon surpass you and become the second-best scientist in the world!

By the time Caesar departed, brimming with self-satisfaction, Edie was already formulating his own plans. He would push Caesar to refine the weapon, ensuring it was both deadly and reliable. The future held many challenges, and having an arsenal of mass destruction would undoubtedly tilt the odds in his favor.

But for now, there was the matter of Pluton. Turning back to the colossal battleship, Edie watched as the crew labored tirelessly, pouring barrel after barrel of Coke into the power room. This absurd scenario, blending the mundane with the catastrophic, perfectly encapsulated the chaotic world they lived in.

Five thousand barrels of Coke took over half an hour to fill, yet the battleship's massive tanks were barely a quarter full.

Edie entered Pluton's captain's room, consulting the ancient stone tablet records to activate the warship. With a press of his fingerprint, he completed the captain certification, officially becoming the captain of the legendary vessel.

Pulling down the activation switch… Pluton, start!

The battleship vibrated slightly as the Coke from the storage tank was pumped into an enormous engine via intricate conduits. A rumbling sound echoed through the ship, reminiscent of an old locomotive sputtering to life. Moments later, the interior lights flickered on, and the control consoles in the captain's room whirred back into operation.

Kaido stormed into the room, grinning with excitement. "It's moving! It worked! Now, get this ship outside, quickly!"

Kaido, unfamiliar with such mechanisms, could only rely on Edie for navigation. Shaking his head, Edie explained, "This ship operates with both sails and propellers, but we're neither in water nor under the wind here. The design is... well, crude, with an odd touch of refinement—typical of this world's technology."

"Leave it to me," Kaido said confidently. "I'll create flame clouds and send it to the sea."

"I'll handle it," Edie interjected, activating the Float-Float Fruit. Instantly, the warship defied gravity, floating into the air as light as a feather.

Kaido, unimpressed with subtlety, turned into his Azure Dragon form and tore through the cavern walls. The sheer force caused the entire land of Wanokuni to tremble. After considerable effort, the two managed to move the colossal Pluton battleship to the open sea.

The immense scale of Pluton was overwhelming—even for someone like Kaido, whose size dwarfed most structures. Standing aboard the deck, Queen marveled at its magnitude. "It didn't seem this massive underground... but now, out here? It's like a ship built for giants!"

Kaido, in his usual boisterous manner, exclaimed, "Oooh, Edie! Let's test this monster on Mariejois! Blast those Five Elders to smithereens!"

The mere mention of Golden Lion Shiki's demise under the World Government's national treasure still weighed on Kaido's mind.

Edie smirked and replied, "The Five Elders may think themselves immortal, but I've already devised a way to kill them for good. Be patient—let me complete my tests first."

Kaido nodded, grinning maliciously. "Fine! Let's show the world what Pluton can do once it's ready." He turned to Jack. "Get Morgans ready for a live broadcast. I want everyone to witness this."

Jack, ever diligent, replied, "Boss, I contacted Morgans a week ago. The signal will reach every corner of the world!"

"Good work, Jack! This boring world is about to get the shock of its life!" Kaido roared with laughter, exhilarated by the prospect of global chaos.

Edie raised an eyebrow. "Live broadcast? You're airing the test?"

"Of course!" Kaido declared. "This is about sending a message to the Five Elders—showing them that Wanokuni is untouchable!"

Edie pondered for a moment before nodding. "A live broadcast will amplify the deterrence. But we need a test site. If Pluton's main gun can destroy an island, we'll need an island for target practice."

Kaido's eyes gleamed with malevolence. "How about the Red Port in the New World?"

Edie shot him an irritated look. "Too extreme. Besides, the Red Port is valuable—it'll be part of my future world order."

Kaido blinked, momentarily stunned. As expected of Edie, he thought. Already claiming World Government assets before the war's even started. Compared to Edie's ambitions, Kaido felt almost conservative.

After a pause, Edie decided, "We'll test it on Winner's Island—now called the Draconic Archipelago."

Kaido grinned, reminiscing about the place where he had awakened his Azure Dragon Fruit. "A fitting choice! Winner's Island for the winner of this war!"

With Edie's Float-Float Fruit lifting Pluton and its sails and propellers at full capacity, they reached the island in mere hours. Morgans was contacted, and the live broadcast began.

The footage spread like wildfire across the globe. From New World to the Grand Line, from Sabaody Archipelago to Whitebeard's home on Sphinx Island, the broadcast captivated all. On Sphinx, Teach dropped his farm tools, abandoning the golden rice fields, while Marco and the others gathered around Whitebeard to watch.

Whole Cake Island, meanwhile, erupted in frustration. Charlotte Linlin clenched her fists, livid. "That bastard Kaido! I gave him that Azure Dragon Fruit, and he doesn't share his ancient weapon? Unforgivable!"

Even the Five Elders in the newly rebuilt, smaller Pangaea Castle were visibly shaken. Saint Saturn's hands trembled as Kaido appeared on the screen, standing atop Pluton.

Kaido's voice boomed. "For those watching worldwide—Celestial Dragons, Five Elders—yes, I'm talking to you! Look at this ship beneath me! This is Pluton, the Ancient Weapon!"

With a fierce wave of his hand, the sea twisted and churned, giving way to a sight that sent shivers down the spines of even the most seasoned warriors present. Rising from the depths was an unprecedented, colossal battleship, a behemoth of ancient power and destructive potential. This was no ordinary vessel; this was Pluton—one of the three ancient weapons, a ship of such terrifying might that it could obliterate entire islands with a single shot.

Pluton had long been buried beneath Wanokuni, hidden away for centuries until They had finally unearthed it. Now, this awe-inspiring warship was theirs, The entire ship was a fortress of metal, its surface bristling with countless weapons. The most intimidating of all were the four enormous cannons, each one several thousand meters long and nearly a thousand meters in diameter, their surfaces adorned with intricate mechanical patterns that hinted at the destructive power they contained.

These cannons were no ordinary weapons; they were super laser cannons capable of obliterating islands from hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. Even after lying dormant for eight hundred years, these massive cannons radiated an oppressive aura, a testament to their fearsome potential. The entire surface of the Pluton was lined with high-tech weaponry, and within its massive hull lay countless spaces designed for a variety of purposes.

The interior of Pluton was nothing short of a marvel. It was more than just a warship; it was a floating city, a doomsday shelter, larger than even the biggest islands. It contained military gathering places, ammunition depots, weapons research and development rooms, laboratories, granaries, living areas, entertainment zones, and even land and lakes. This massive vessel was designed to be a self-sustaining fortress, capable of housing not just soldiers but entire populations. In the event of a global catastrophe, humanity could find refuge within Pluton, surviving and thriving within its walls.

Kaido then gestured to the massive main cannon, now beginning to charge. "What I will show you next is the absolute power of Pluton's main gun. The power to destroy an island with a single shot!"

As Kaido's announcement resonated across the world, Pluton's main cannon began to draw in atmospheric energy. The air within kilometers of the ship was rapidly vacuumed into the cannon, creating a terrifying spectacle.

A dazzling white light began to form—a harbinger of unparalleled destruction.
