Deep research

Vegapunk. 

Masa had to say that this guy was amazing since Vegapunk's knowledge was 500 years ahead of all the people in this world. 

'500 years...' 

This number was appropriate, he thought, since the current technology level of the world of One Piece was similar to the Age of Discovery, during which seafarers from a number of European countries explored, colonized, and conquered regions across the globe in his original world, or around the 17th century or so. 

On the other hand, Vegapunk's knowledge was probably quite a little ahead of those people in the world of Mahouka, which was the world of the future.

Yes, this showed how buggy the head of the Vegapunk was since this guy could even create a nuclear reactor known as the "Mother Flame" during an age similar to an Age of Discovery.

Still, how did he know all of that even though he hadn't read the story of One Piece until those chapters? 

If there was a reason, it was because he was able to hack into Vegapunk's Punk Records, which was the cloud storage, or library, as Vegapunk called it, where Vegapunk kept all of the knowledge that Vegapunk had researched. 

Yes, by using the power of Pika Pika no Mi, relying on the radio wave, optical communication, and his bio-electricity, Masa was able to hack into this important record of the smartest man in this world. 

More importantly, Masa's experience in the world of Mahouka also greatly helped him since this guy came from the sci-fi world and was also a master hacker. 

Lastly, had Vegapunk ever thought that someone could even hack into Punk Records? 

Rather, due to Vegapunk's good nature, there were no protections at all within Punk Records, the cloud storage of Vegapunk, and anyone could access it if they wished to. 

To be honest, there was no protection at all since Vegapunk wished to share all of his knowledge with everyone. 

Unfortunately, with the low IQ of the people in this world or limited knowledge, the only way for them to access this record was only 500 years later, and that probably could only be done by the smartest man in that era, too.

Yet, Masa could access it without worry!

Moreover, Vegapunk wouldn't be able to tell that Masa could have such access, especially when this man didn't even notice one of his clones betrayed him; then how could he even notice Masa, whose identity wasn't even known? 

At the same time, Masa felt that it was too wasteful to devour Vegapunk since he felt this guy was too useful! 

There was no need to devour Vegapunk; instead, Masa was thinking of controlling Vegapunk, having him become his private researcher so this smartest man could help him with research for various things. 

Moreover, it was possible for him to control people, especially with the power of Jake Jake no Mi. 

Lastly, Vegapunk was weak, so it should have been easy for him to implant this plan. 

Then, was he going to meet Vegapunk in the Egghead, the island where this smartest man resided? 

"....." 

No way. 

Masa didn't want the attention of the Five Elders, the Marines, and even Im on him, especially when he wanted to live a peaceful life, at least for a moment. Moreover, if he was being targeted by all of them, then he would be as good as gone, especially when a certain pirate might come to target him in the name of the balance of the world and wait for the savior (the next pirate king) to come. 

So, what should he do? 

Using bio-electricity, Masa thought to control Vegapunk by using a connection from Punk Records, yet—

'It isn't enough.' 

Yes, Masa thought to use his bio-electricity ability to control Vegapunk from a distance, yet unfortunately, his bio-electricity wasn't enough, and bio-electricity wasn't as convenient as he thought it would be, especially when there was still a limit of voltage, and it was impossible for him to release ten of millions of voltage at ease with just his bio-electricity. More importantly, it was quite hard to make a delicate control, especially with how far the distance between him and the Egghead was. 

If he wanted to improve, then the only way for him to do that was to devour Enel to get the "Goro Goro Mi." 

Yet, when could he do it? 

At the same time, he was afraid that Enel would leave this world and go to space first since he knew that it might take a while for the next Masa to appear, and even if the next Masa appeared, the Goro Goro no Mi wasn't the one that he aimed to eat for his fourth Devil Fruit. 

Still, as he thought of a solution, Carina finished her bath and walked out of the bathroom completely naked. Her body was moist and flushed red from the warm water, and her beautiful body was completely exposed to him. 

Whether it was her shapely hips, her small waist, perfect size breasts with two beautiful pinkiness, which made him in a daze for a moment. 

Carina smiled and felt proud of her body, but then, she had to admit that she wasn't strong enough to face him due to how strong he was, which made her lament how weak she was. 

"I am going to get food. Do you want some?" 

"Yeah." Masa also quickly calmed himself and looked away from Carina since if he continued to look at her, he was afraid that he would push her. 

"Okay." Carina nodded and asked, "Do you need something else?" 

"Get me a newspaper." 

"I will get that." Carina was also curious about the new newspaper and what kind of news was going to be there, hoping to check the news about Kizaru since she knew that it was impossible for the Marines to hide the fact that Kizaru had passed away. Instead, sooner or later, the death of Kizaru would be known to the entire sea, and what was important was whether Masa's identity was known or not.

After all, it was quite troublesome to become a criminal, but then again, even if Masa became one, it didn't matter since, with the power of Pika Pika no Mi, who could chase him? 

Moreover, if they escaped, she would enter his body and leave at the speed of light. 

Lastly, and the most important point, Masa could just use the power of Jake Jake no Mi to control all the people around him, similar to all the people on this ship.

The power of Jake Jake no Mi was amazing, Carina thought, and if possible, she wanted to eat the Fuku Fuku no Mi since it was the advanced version of the Jake Jake no Mi, but she decided to believe in him, as she wondered what kind of a Devil Fruit that Masa would recommend her to eat. 

Still, as Carina left to get the food and newspaper, Masa had been thinking about how to eat more Devil Fruits, even though there were only three of them. 

Three was his limit, and frankly, as he had eaten the Jake Jake no Mi, Ton Ton no Mi, and Pika Pika no Mi and even developed many good abilities from all of those Devil Fruits, he felt hesitant to reset everything. 

If it had been before, Masa might not have minded dying, but now, he minded it, especially when dying wasn't a pleasant thing. 

Moreover, if he lost all of the power of his Devil Fruits, then... even if he could restore all of them, how long would it take? 

Still, as he couldn't find any solutions, he decided to read more of Vegapunk's research on Punk Records until suddenly his eyes widened. 

"Lineage Factor..." 

It was the blueprint of life itself, present in all living organisms, or rather, this was DNA! 

At the same time, watching all the deep research about medicines, biology, and many others related to DNA, Masa thought that it might be possible for him to modify his body. 

'If I can modify my body, then...' 

Suddenly, Masa thought of one figure that could help him to eat more than Devil Fruit. 

"Blackbeard..." 

As his eyes grew hot due to a certain possibility, he suddenly heard an explosion, and a red light exploded into the sky. 

"...what the heck is that?" 

---

To be honest, I thought that the Mahouka Arc wasn't that interesting since there weren't many people who commented, but I guessed that, considering the story, it must be hard to give comments. 

By the way, there are 28 advanced chapters now. 

Lastly, I have made up my mind for the fourth Masa; please look forward to this guy, but he will only appear after Masa DxD. 

Thanks~!
