After getting the answer from Big Bear, Shakya was obviously surprised for a moment. Even though he only had a mechanical face, the surprise was directly revealed from the metal watch case.
He raised his hand slightly, clenched his fist, then unclenched it, and finally put his hand on his chest.
"Excuse me, Bartholomew. The Lord Gawain you are talking about is a Celestial Dragon, right?"
After finishing his words, Big Bear shook his head without waiting for a response.
"It's not a good thing that the Celestial Dragons have awakened the same abilities as Roger. I have to say this even if Porusalino is here.
This is not a good thing!"
Shakyamuni melancholy turned around in circles. As he turned around, he continued to think and talk.
"However, it seems that the Celestial Dragons who can be recognized by Barthomiro are worthy of Vegapunk's sacrifice.
But I really don’t want the Celestial Dragons to..., forget it.
Forget it, forget it, I shouldn't think about those things, kindness shouldn't be mixed with many calculations of interests, and whether it is justice or not is not something that can be measured by gains and losses.
All in all, he who had just heard the voice of all things needed help because the human brain could not accommodate and process the sounds and information in the world.
In this way, I seem to understand why you are willing to save him.
Because the most beneficial thing to him is not Vegapunk's brain, but his Brain Fruit.
However, Gawain, the Celestial Dragon, seemed to have no intention of plundering.
Or maybe you had plans but were restrained in the end, which is even more valuable than not having any plans.
In the face of power, not abusing it is actually more difficult than pursuing power.
Although I only heard Gawain's name from your mouth briefly.
But I think I will appreciate people like him, and I am willing to help in any way I can!"
After the words fell, Shakya nodded slightly to the three bears.
"Everyone, come with me. Although I am willing to help, I am obviously not capable of meeting your needs.
Vegapunk takes the protection of his brain very seriously because he sees himself as a record of the entire world.
Therefore, if you want to get a part of his brain that has not been used, you must give his consent.
Please rest assured that I will stand on your side and try my best to persuade Vegapunk.
Come with me."
While speaking, Sakyamuni made an invitation gesture to everyone, and everyone immediately followed Sakyamuni's steps.
As he walked, Big Bear turned his head and explained softly to Yixiao.
"It's not surprising that Shakya is willing to help us, because Shakya is the one who symbolizes integrity among the clones of Bega Punk.
Fortunately we met him, otherwise if we met the one who symbolizes desire or evil...
Then maybe we really have to use some means to see Vegapunk."
"I understand."
Facing the big bear, Yi smiled and nodded gently.
"Although it is incredible, no matter what a world-renowned scientist like Vegapunk does, it should not be surprising.
By separating his messy thoughts and creating a clone to carry them, he himself can engage in scientific research without any scruples due to the effect of abandoning his messy thoughts.
Such people are worthy of respect, but it is a pity that it is difficult for such people to become our scientists."
After the two briefly discussed a few words, they followed Shakya to the place where Bega Punk was conducting experiments.
The other clones were not here, and Shakya led everyone to arrive in front of Bega Punk easily.
From a distance, Yixiao finally felt the true image of Bega Punk.
The feedback from his observations told him that Vegapunk had an extremely tall and narrow brain, and he was indeed the host of the Brain-Brain Fruit.
Seeing everyone, Vegapunk was a little surprised. He turned around, put down the experimental records in his hands, and said to everyone with a smile.
"Long time no see, Barthomiro, have you finally been cornered by the World Government?
If so, then please rest assured that even if the world government asks you to go to the extreme, I will relax a little and at least give you a chance to store your memories.
So, why are you here, to cooperate with me, or to continue to cooperate with me on the Devil Fruit project for the Blackbird?"
"For other things."
The big bear raised his head and said to Vegapunk expressionlessly.
"I need a part of your brain, a blank brain, like the one you gave to Roger.
My lord has awakened the ability to listen to the sounds of all things, so you should be able to understand!"
"Wow!"
Compared with his clone, Vegapunk is obviously more active. He has indeed deprived himself of many negative emotions, but he will not abandon all positive emotions such as happiness and excitement.
As for the emotion of integrity.
Integrity can be regarded as a positive emotion in most professions.
But to a pure scientist….
If Vegapunk, who is proficient in biology, continues to have a sense of integrity, he will feel extremely guilty and disgusted with his experiments!
As for emotions that are unfavorable to his own experiments and science, all of them are negative emotions in the eyes of Vegapunk!
After being amazed, Vegapunk laughed so hard that his tongue stuck out. While laughing, he kept shaking his head.
He just shook his big head and continued.
"Tsk tsk, I knew I couldn't be wrong. A long time ago, when Roger and others talked to me about the so-called prophecy and destiny, I knew they had fallen into a devil's trap.
Even the Pirate King cannot avoid falling into ignorance.
In the prophecy he saw, the next person qualified to listen to all things should be a young man who is true, kind and optimistic enough, and at the same time qualified to bring happiness to the whole world.
But now, what is clearly awakening is a young man who is not so kind and not happy enough, but is willing and dared to bring order to the world.
This is far from what Roger believed.
But no matter what, since the life that can listen to all things is in trouble, then all things should bring help to this life within their ability.
After all, without a true intention to help or even save all things, you cannot listen to the voices of all things.
And I am also a member of all things. How could I turn a blind eye to someone who sincerely wants to save me?
So, later I will have an operation to separate the brain.
Wait, what is that?"
Suddenly, Vegapunk couldn't help but focus on the surveillance phone bug in the room.
In the picture played by the phone bug, a steel machine was advancing rapidly on the sea, and was about to rush to the island in the blink of an eye...
Seeing that scene, Daxiong pursed his lips speechlessly, and Huang Principle snorted obscenely.
Hearing those voices, he smiled and nodded thoughtfully.
"It seems that little Franky has arrived, just in time, I'll go pick him up right away.
After all, he had emphasized before that he didn't like Mr. Porusalino's teleportation method.
And having said that, little Franky’s speed is really not slow!”
As he spoke, he turned around and left with a smile, while Big Bear continued to explain to Bega Punk.
"Please forgive me, Franky is the best chief scientist of Xuanniao. He is very interested in you. The scientific research materials you left back home are also in his hands. He is very talented."
"I can see it!"
Listening to Big Bear's explanation, Vegapunk nodded quickly, and then said with praise on his face.
"Look at his body, it's really amazing. He actually turned himself into a mechanical structure!
Although part of the fruit properties of the Tunton Fruit are used here, I can see that he has already transformed his body before eating the Tuntun Fruit, and the transformation should be very successful!
Because, even if he practices internal circulation, he no longer belongs to human beings!
This level... is really amazing. Even if it were Quinn who operated it himself, I'm afraid he would only be able to do it to this extent!
And he, he is still very young!
Unlike guys like me who rely on brain fruits, he is a genius who is purer and has more potential than me!
I already want to see him!"
…
In this way, a few minutes later, Franky and Vegapunk, who came to the island, started a friendly discussion.
Half an hour later, Vegapunk cut off a piece of the brain and solemnly handed it over to Yixiao.
Feeling the brain the size of an apple in his hand, he smiled and asked in surprise.
"Mr. Vegapunk, according to Brother Kurokas, the brain you left for Roger should be quite huge, right?
Otherwise, you won’t send me here to transport it!
Your Excellency's situation is even more dangerous than Roger's. How can you, with your much smaller head than Roger's, bring you enough help!"
Canglanglang!
He smiled and drew out his sword.
"Could it be that you think the old man's knife is bad for you!"
"Well……."
Seeing the angry smile on his face, Vegapunk patted his big head helplessly.
"Don't think so, Mr. Yixiao, I have no intention of looking down on you or Gawain.
The brain I gave Roger back then was only this big at first.
I am a user with the ability of the Brain Fruit. After receiving enough information, my brain will instinctively continue to expand to accommodate and process more information.
Therefore, after you take this brain back, it will become bigger on its own.
Don't worry, I will ask Sakyamuni to go back with you, partly to teach you how to use my brain.
On the other hand, connecting my blank brain to the Blackbird does require considerable mechanical assistance. We must manipulate electromagnetism to assimilate my instinctive brain waves into Gawain's neurosis.
I can't do this when I stay here. It can only be done after Sakyamuni meets Gawain himself.
However, with Brother Frankie following you, I believe there will be no problem for Shakya and Frankie together."
Having said this, Bega Punk looked at Shakya deeply, and Shakya nodded slightly.
Then, Vegapunk turned to Franky and laughed.
"For now, Franky, come with me.
You have accepted my gift and made good use of that knowledge, so you can be called my half disciple.
Although you don't like chemistry and biology, which I'm best at, even if it's just mechanical aspects, I've made a lot of improvements over the years.
I will make a copy of that knowledge and put it into your hands, and try to gain time to teach you some hands-on skills.
Gawain still has plenty of time left. After you make progress, you can go back with everyone."
…
On the Black Bird, feeling the approaching team, Gawain took a thoughtful sip of wine.
Near him, others gradually felt everyone's return.
Suddenly, everyone's faces showed a look of anticipation.
Two minutes later, Kizaru and everyone came to Gawain's side.
He was still far away, and with a smile he lifted up his brain, which was protected by a ball of air.
"Fortunately, my lord, I have successfully brought back Vegapunk's brain. In addition, Mr. Vegapunk's clone, Mr. Shakya, who represents integrity, has also come with me!"
"I see."
Gawain stood up quickly and walked towards Sakyamuni with a smile.
Facing Sakyamuni's plain figure, Gawain reached out and gently pulled Sakyamuni's mechanical hand.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Shakya. I have long admired your name."
"Me too, Lord Gawain, after meeting you, I am very happy that I did not see the violence of the Celestial Dragons in your eyes.
However, please forgive me, before I came here, Vegapunk himself told me something.
At this moment, we have an unsolved question, and we hope to get the answer from you!"
While speaking, Sakyamuni gently let go of Gawain's hand, and then looked at Gawain with a serious face.
On the side, Franky rubbed his head in confusion.
"What's the situation? Why didn't you tell me if there was a problem before?
Sir, you are not a scientist. I am the smartest one on this ship. If you have any questions, just ask me. What can I do, Sir?"
"fine."
Gawain raised his hand to stop Franky who was not satisfied. Then, he looked at Sakyamuni thoughtfully and waved his hand gently.
"Is it convenient to raise your question here? If not, we can discuss it in private."
"Whether it's convenient or not depends on whether you find it convenient to answer. In short, what Vegapunk and I want to ask you is..."
Sakyamuni looked at Gawain with particularly deep eyes. He opened his mouth melancholy, and then asked questions word by word.
"You should know that we and Vegapunk have been conducting research and development on Devil Fruit and bloodline factors.
In the field of Devil Fruits, Vegapunk and I have already done it...copying Devil Fruits!
Although that kind of copying has not yet reached perfection, we have indeed copied more than one precious Devil Fruit.
But... not long ago...
We were shocked to find that some of the fruits we copied suddenly lost their Devil Fruit power!
And those nodes where the fruit loses its power..."
Having said this, Sakyamuni raised his hand and started making gestures bit by bit.
"Initially, the Blue Dragon form of the fish fruit phantom beast we copied, which was Kaido's fruit, lost his ability first!
At first, we thought it was an accidental event, or that there were some prolonged flaws in our research.
But then, just a week ago, that is, after the war started!
Whether it's the Shadow Fruit, the Gate Fruit, or even... Whitebeard's Shock Fruit.
They all lost their abilities!
And all the copied fruits that have lost their fruit ability...
Except for a few of those people who are pirates, they are all your subordinates!
