The Lineage Factor is a fascinating discovery co-made by Dr. Vegapunk and Vinsmoke Judge. It's the blueprint of life itself, found in all living organisms. This discovery has allowed Dr. Vegapunk to make significant strides in his research, including the creation of artificial lifeforms and the manipulation of Devil Fruit powers. It's also been used in cloning and in creating mindless, emotionless living weapons. Dr. Vegapunk's work with the Lineage Factor is so advanced, it's said to be 500 years ahead of current technology!
