In the laboratory.

At this moment, there are many remains of mechanical creations on display, but it is not possible to piece together a complete thing among them, and it is not even possible to identify the approximate original appearance of these things.

But if Li Yan were here, he would definitely recognize that these are the wreckage of the Mustang fighter plane.

That's right, this is what Marie Gioia spent a lot of time salvaging from the original crash site of Weber.

Although Weber activated the self-destruction device before the crash, it was only a simple self-destruction device. In other words, it only used high explosives to blow up the entire fighter plane.

Therefore, the fragmented remains of various parts still exist.

It may not be possible to rely on these wreckage to deduce a fighter jet, but by broadening the scientific research ideas or making certain breakthroughs in some aspects, Vegapunk can still do it.

And this time No. 2 came here for exactly this purpose.

Even in order to keep it secret, he took two teams of CP0 and hundreds of CP agents to completely take over the island. Even Kizaru was prohibited from approaching.

Obviously, for the Five Old Stars, only CP0 is the confidant, and the Navy is just a dog at best, and it is also a dog that is not very trustworthy and will bite itself at any time.

"It's difficult to completely reverse the development of the same aerial weapon!"

"After all, almost all of these parts have been blown to pieces, and a lot of them are missing!"

After checking the wreckage brought by No. 2, Vegapunk said.

As for No. 2, there was no disappointed expression under his mask, as if he had expected it.

After all, only a small part of the wreckage has been salvaged today, and most of them have not been found yet, let alone some small wreckage. It was unknown where they were swept away by the ocean currents when they sank.

Therefore, even a complete component cannot be put together now.

"Sure enough...is that so?"

"However, although it is impossible to reversely deduce the type of fighter aircraft of the Revolutionary Army, these things can also give me a lot of inspiration. Coupled with my research on air weapons during this period, I can try it and develop another form of

Air weapons!"

"Another form?"

"Yes, if you follow the path of others, you will never be able to surpass them. If you want to surpass them, you have to find another way!"

"Then please, Doctor!"

Hearing this, No. 2 nodded and said, and Vegapunk didn't say anything more and went straight to work.

For him, neither Marie Joa nor the Revolutionary Army were important.

Even what the world will be like is equally unimportant.

There is only one thing that matters, and that is an almost pathological thirst for knowledge.

And it just so happened that Marigio could provide him with the most favorable scientific research environment, almost giving him whatever he asked for.

That's why he stays here.

This does not mean how loyal he is to Marigio or the Navy. If it were to be expressed numerically, then this loyalty would definitely be 0.

As I said just now, it's just that no one in the world can provide him with a better environment.

And No. 2 also didn't know that what Vegapunk said to him just now concealed a lot of things...

In fact, after a cursory look at the wreckage, Vegapunk was almost certain that this fighter plane was inseparable from the East China Sea Navy.

You can hide other things, but the processing technology cannot be hidden.

The parts of these fighter planes bear too many traces of the processing technology of the East China Sea's weapons.

But, why would I tell Marigio about this kind of thing?

For Becca Punk, what he wants to do more is...

"By the way, tell me above that I am going to the East China Sea to communicate with the people in the Science Department there. This may give me more inspiration!"

"Okay, I will talk to Lord Wulaoxing."

Number 2, who had already reached the entrance of the laboratory, suddenly heard Vegapunk's voice coming from behind.

This is a bit abnormal, but if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal.

After all, when it comes to research on firearms alone, Donghai's Science Department is indeed ahead of the Headquarters' Science Department. There is no doubt about this.

Then, let Vegapunk communicate with the scientific researchers over there, maybe he can actually gain something.

I'm afraid Vegapunk has the same plan, right?

Number 2, who was thinking this way, nodded in response and then left the laboratory.

Of course, after leaving the laboratory, No. 2 immediately took out his phone and called Wulaoxing and conveyed Vegapunk's request.

Regarding this matter, Wulaoxing also agreed without much hesitation, but required No. 2 to keep it confidential and secure.

Even Li Yan couldn't tell him, and he would explain it later.

------

One week later.

After his trip to Alabasta, Li Yan returned to the Eighteenth Branch.

Dong dong dong...

"Come in!"

"General, there is a report from the port that a warship has arrived. The people on it claim to be affiliated with CP0 and request to meet with the general immediately to discuss important matters!"

"Bring people here!"

"Yes, General!"

Nodding, the guard left.

Li Yan frowned immediately.

What are the people in CP0 doing here?

Did you find something?

But that’s not right. If we really discovered something, it wouldn’t be like this!

In short, when people come, everything will be clear.

Soon, in less than ten minutes, the guards had brought five CP0s wearing white suits and masks to Li Yan's office.

After Li Yan saw these five people, he suddenly felt suspicious in his heart.

It is really...

One of them gave him the impression that he was too weak, even weaker than ordinary civilians.

"I don't know why you are here today?"

"Admiral Li Yan, let me introduce you first. This is Dr. Bega Punk from the Naval Science Department."

As No. 2 spoke, Vegapunk on the side also took off his mask, revealing a somewhat indistinct face.

Li Yan, on the other hand, was shocked.

Is this Vegapunk, who has never been seen in the original novel and claims to have wisdom that exceeds the world's five hundred years?

To be honest, Li Yan didn't think about getting him.

But it's too difficult.

In terms of difficulty, it is almost as good as attacking Marie Joa.

Vegapunk is definitely one of Li Yan's most coveted talents in the pirate world.

"Dr. Vegapunk?"

"Yes, Dr. Vegapunk is here this time to conduct academic exchanges with people from the East China Sea Science Department. Of course, due to the doctor's special status, this matter needs to be kept highly confidential."

"So that's it, let me make some arrangements!"

Li Yan didn't understand what was going on at all, so he could only take one step at a time.

Anyway, since he is in his home base, he is not afraid of what these CP0s can do.

However...

The next moment, Vegapunk said something that surprised everyone.
Chapter completed!
