"Perhaps everyone chosen by the Brain-Brain Fruit wants to record all the information in the world."
Ross recalled the nature of Devil Fruits and came to this conclusion.
Sometimes it seems like the user chooses the fruit, but in reality, it's the fruit that chooses the user.
Otherwise, let alone awakening the fruit, it would probably be difficult to even utilize one-tenth of its potential.
Ross didn't know if the Brain-Brain Fruit was suitable for Sora, but the pirate world was generally full of illiterate people. Those who could wield the Brain-Brain Fruit effectively enough to etch their names in history were probably mad geniuses driven by an insatiable curiosity to document everything.
The human brain is theoretically capable of storing 2.5 million GB of data, and the Brain-Brain Fruit can theoretically be pushed to its absolute limits.
That's 2.5 million GB, which is roughly equivalent to 2700 trillion letters. One GB of content can store 2.5 million movies.
Thinking about it this way, it was clear that a normal person couldn't possibly harness the fruit's full capacity.
Ross was genuinely curious about what was going on in Vegapunk's mind.
If he remembered correctly, even Vegapunk's head was five times larger than a normal person's.
Vegapunk's other organs were similar to those of a normal person, so the difference between his brain and that of a normal person would be more than five times.
With over 10 million GB of content, who knew what Vegapunk had actually stored?
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will make good use of my brain's capacity, and many things do not need to be recorded in my brain; I can remember them by handwriting or other means."
Sora quickly offered her assurances; she certainly didn't want to become a big-headed monster.
The thought of Vegapunk's appearance only intensified her aversion to him.
"You can do whatever you want. You can create an artificial brain that only you can read. Don't worry about the materials. As long as they exist in this world, whether they fly in the sky, walk on the ground, or swim in the sea, I can get them for you."
Ross didn't want Sora's appearance to change either. As Sora's abilities improved, she might become another important person by his side, so of course he wanted to take good care of her.
For the next three days, Ross did not interfere with Judge's experiments, but simply had Zephyr record all of Judge's experimental procedures.
At his request, Judge opened his collection, and all the paper research was made available to Ross.
Judge was now solely focused on gaining Vegapunk's knowledge and acquiring Ross's bloodline factor.
Compared to those two, his research, which had only just begun, was really nothing.
Ross packaged all these materials and gave them to Sora for her to read in her spare time after physical training.
Having obtained the Brain-Brain Fruit, she was reborn, and Reiju was taken in by Ross and temporarily cared for by Stella.
It could be said that not only had Ross resolved all of Sora's worries, but a bright future was also slowly unfolding before her eyes.
In this state, Sora unleashed almost 1000% of her power, solely to complete the task assigned by Ross.
"Knock knock knock!"
A crisp knock on the door broke the tranquility of Ross's villa.
At that moment, Sora was comfortably seated on the soft sofa, intently flipping through her experimental notes. Ross and Reiju were laughing and joking nearby, their cheerful voices filling the living room.
It was as if the three of them were the real family.
"Come in."
Ross's smile faded, and he calmly called out to the outside.
With his current strength, he didn't even need to look to know that it was Judge standing outside.
Squeak.
The door was pushed open, and Judge stood in the doorway, his face not looking particularly good.
His gaze didn't linger on Sora and Reiju at all, as if they were complete strangers.
Judge looked at Ross and said in a calm voice:
"Your Highness, we have analyzed 0.03% of Vegapunk's brain. Based on the extracted fragments, they are all junk content."
At this point, Judge hesitated somewhat.
He had always thought that Vegapunk's brain was a gold mine.
But when they started digging, they discovered that it wasn't like that at all.
The technology for extracting memories was not the problem. The problem now was that even if these memories were exported to special instruments and converted into text and images for playback, it was a hugely time-consuming project.
The sheer volume of text information, even a cursory glance, would likely take a lifetime to read.
"What kind of content is it?" Ross asked with interest.
"This... the part I just analyzed was called the history of the Goa Kingdom. It was very detailed, even including the story of the queen's affair with a nobleman 500 years ago."
Just thinking about the rubbish in it made Judge's scalp tingle.
No, Vegapunk, why were you storing all this useless information in your head, you dignified scientist?
They thought they were developing a gold mine, but now it had turned into a fool's gold rush.
Considering there were hundreds of millions of such instances, Judge developed a fear of excavating Vegapunk's brain.
"Looks like Vegapunk really does hoard everything," Ross chuckled.
Based on his understanding of Vegapunk, the other party was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
His thirst for knowledge was at its peak, regardless of whether it was useful or not.
Moreover, even if two books recorded the same event, Vegapunk would probably record it in both books.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why Vegapunk could occupy such a large brain capacity.
Ross even suspected that 20 years later, Vegapunk's brain was overloaded, and even the Brain-Brain Fruit couldn't save him; he was already suffering from some dementia.
"Your Highness, what do we do now?"
Judge's expression was grim. All he wanted to know was about bloodline factors; he had no interest in gossip about other countries.
However, the memories of the bloodline factor were perfectly hidden within Vegapunk's vast brain cells, and he had no idea where Vegapunk had hidden the relevant knowledge.
If it weren't for Ross's presence, he could have violently dismantled Vegapunk's brain, dividing it into countless parts and reading the contents by region.
Based on Judge's understanding of the Brain-Brain Fruit and Vegapunk, all the research data should be put together. Once the general area was determined, he could quickly obtain the information he wanted.
But Ross wanted all the knowledge, and with former Admiral Zephyr watching him closely these past few days, he dared not act recklessly.
Let me think about it.
Ross pretended to be thinking, but his eyes actually met Sora's.
Now that Sora had consumed the Brain-Brain Fruit, she was probably the person in the world who understood the brain best.
Given the amount of information in Vegapunk's mind, a normal person probably couldn't read it all in a lifetime. He could only hope that Sora had a way to deal with it.
Ross did not want to resort to extreme violence unless absolutely necessary.
Upon seeing Sora nod slightly, Ross immediately had an idea.
"Judge, all you want is the bloodline factor, right?" Ross said calmly.
Judge paused for a moment, then understood what Ross meant.
This would require his technology, followed by gathering manpower from the World Government to implement it.
Thinking of this, Judge nodded decisively:
"That's right."
He was confident that his understanding of lineage factors was at best equal to that of Vegapunk.
With him around, Ross couldn't possibly abandon him, who had already defected.
In that case, why not get the World Government involved and gather a large number of people to read Vegapunk's brain?
"Alright, then give me your technology and Vegapunk's brain. Once I obtain the complete technology, I will hand it over to you. For now, you can study it on your own."
Whether Judge agreed or not was not that important, but even with Sora, Ross was unwilling to give up Judge, his beast of burden, so a superficial agreement was still necessary.
Now that Judge had agreed, there was nothing more for Judge to do.
Once Sora extracted the contents of Vegapunk's brain, Ross would, as appropriate, hand over some technology to Judge.
