"In this case, those annoying guys won't bother me anymore!"
Although he had completed the research ordered by the World Government and felt a little relieved, Vegapunk seemed a little melancholy.
only.
After sighing, he didn't say anything else. He turned around and looked at Kabuto, the rear admiral sent by the Navy Headquarters this time. He continued to say with a smile, "Not to mention... the Navy Headquarters really sent him this time.
You’ve got a nice guy, unlike the rude guy last time who could only carry an axe. Boy, I think you should be a scientist more than a navy man!”
"It is really an honor for me to be so praised by the world's number one scientist, Mr. Vegapunk!"
After hearing Vegapunk's words, Kabuto smiled and saluted.
Then he looked at Vegapunk in front of him, who was happy because the experiment was completed, but was not very happy. He hesitated and said, "Mr. Vegapunk, he doesn't seem to be very happy? Could it be that research has produced such a
A perfect weapon, shouldn’t you be very happy?”
"This time can be considered a good experiment, but compared to these..."
Vegapunk walked to a machine in front of him. The clothes that were a little dirty due to research disappeared in an instant, and he changed into a new set of clean clothes.
Then he pressed a button on another machine nearby, and in the blink of an eye, a pile of delicious food appeared in front of him.
And the temperature, which was originally a bit cold due to experimental needs, has gradually increased.
The temperature of not just this space, but the entire island has increased!
"Compared to those weapons, I still prefer these, little guy... Technology should bring happiness to people! If there are enough funds, I can even control the weather!" Having said this, he shook his head regretfully.
He shook his head and said, "What a pity! These technologies that cannot cause harm are not recognized by the world government."
As soon as these words fell.
After hearing Vegapunk say this, I looked at that confident expression.
Suddenly.
Kabuto narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
[The world’s number one scientist seems to be a little dissatisfied with the world government~]
However.
Vegapunk didn't seem to notice the change in Kabuto's face and continued to eat the delicacies created by his machine.
And while eating, he seemed to be saying casually, "And the World Government doesn't know what they are doing during this period. They have been urging me, but the funds have not been received in time. Even the research funds this time have not been received."
Without it, even though I’m called the world’s number one scientist, I won’t create materials out of thin air!”
"Really, even the funds are being deducted now! Is the world government almost unable to survive? If it weren't for the threat of the world government, I would have delayed it even longer and let them allocate all the funds for this period of time.
!”
"Speaking of which, we have to blame the Country of Grass, which has been in a lot of trouble recently! You said... they are already the overlord of the East China Sea, and they are enemies of the World Government. How can those guys have the audacity to bully the pirates?
Arrest him and exchange the bounty with the World Government? How shameless~"
But as he spoke, his tone changed again.
With emotion:
"Of course, we can't really blame the Country of Grass for this matter. I heard that the East China Sea seems to be doing very well under the management of the Country of Grass. Strictly speaking, I still have one thing to be grateful to the Country of Grass.
~, If the Kingdom of Grass hadn’t sent the captains of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates over, I think an old friend of mine would have suffered!”
It seems that due to the deduction of funds and being forced to complete the experiment as soon as possible, Vegapunk has accumulated a lot of resentment recently. After the experiment was completed, he began to complain on his own.
only.
Complaining, complaining, Vegapunk seemed to notice that something was wrong with what he just said.
You must know that the person standing in front of you is a naval admiral from the navy.
Although he is not going to suffer because of these few words, the World Government still needs him and cannot abandon him at this time, but he does not want to cause any more trouble.
Especially...he has done a lot of things that violate the world government secretly!
Speaking of which, staying with this Major General Kabuto makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable~
He is a very talented young man!
It’s just that the opponent is the navy after all!
So, after eating, Vegapunk laughed again, turned his head and was about to change the topic to Major General Kabuto on the side, when Hu Ning passed by.
Sudden.
My eyesight goes dark!
Vegapunk seemed to feel something suddenly covering him in front of his eyes, and was suddenly startled.
But after seeing Major General Kabuto who had walked up to him at some point, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Major General Kabuto, what are you doing? It's very scary to suddenly get in front of others!"
However.
Just when he was complaining, a long word suddenly reached his ears.
"Are you still angry about the World Government's withholding of funds?"
"???"
What is this guy talking about?
Vegapunk's face was stunned before he could react.
"Still angry about the threat of a world government?"
"Are you still worried about your own lack of funds?"
"Are you still annoyed that you can't study what you like?"
Another three shots in a row.
One long voice came after another.
That tone.
That voice.
It seems to be filled with a strange and bewildering feeling.
Vegapunk couldn't help but pick it up in his heart. He always felt...is there something weird somewhere?
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Kabuto who was smiling at him.
Although the admiral still had his usual gentle smile, he always had an indescribable feeling inside.
This guy……
Could it be that you were setting a trap for yourself because of what you just said?!
Thinking of this, Vegapunk shrank, and then said cheerfully, "What do you mean? Major General Kabuto~, I'm just complaining, but I'm not dissatisfied with the World Government~"
"No! You do!"
"?!I……"
"Please don't speak yet, Mr. Vegapunk~" Kabuto pushed up his glasses, with a smile on his face. He still had that infectious, spring-like smile. He looked at Vegapunk gently, with a leisurely voice,
He said slowly, "Do you have a dream?"
"..."
So, what is going on in front of you?
Why did he suddenly feel... something bad?
Before the stunned Vegapunk could say anything.
"You have~" Major General Kabuto in front of him said again with certainty.
Then he slowly turned around, no longer looking at Vegapunk, his eyes softened slightly, and he said softly, "I just saw it in your eyes... that is the light of dreams! Although Mr. Vegapunk, you
You are not young anymore, but you have never forgotten your dream, otherwise, you would not have created six of yourself to continue studying for you!"
"But I can also feel your dissatisfaction with the world government from your eyes. If I guessed correctly... you are due to lack of funds and understand that you cannot do much research on your own. In addition, you
Understand...your wisdom will eventually arouse the covetousness of others, and only a powerful force can provide you with protection!"
"So, you are complaining about the world government and you want to leave! You want to find a place where you can realize your dreams!"
As Kabuto's words slowly fell, Vegapunk, known as the world's number one scientist, felt silent and said nothing more.
only.
How does this guy know so much just after he arrived?
"I just guessed it." And as if he guessed what Vegapunk was thinking, Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said gently, "Mr. Vegapunk, I don't have the Devil Fruit ability to see through people's hearts.
!So, don’t worry.”
Of course~
In fact, it's not that simple.
After receiving the news that he was going to be sent here, he deliberately collected the information here within the Navy Headquarters.
Especially General Kizaru... seems to be very familiar with Vegapunk. In addition, as a member of the Navy Headquarters, with the Warring States Inspector and Lieutenant General Tsuru standing behind him, he did not make others suspicious.
Even this identity allows him to obtain more information.
These were all analyzed by him.
"It looks like I guessed it right!"
"Maybe, I have to say, Rear Admiral Kabuto, you are really a smart guy, smarter than that Zhan Momomaru. I still said what I just said, you should be a scientist more than a navy man!" Bei
Garpunk looked at Kabuto happily, "It's just...what do you plan to do by telling me something?"
only.
That said, although he still remained calm, he had secretly informed his clone - Zhengyi over there.
Once something goes wrong, you can only run away early.
After all, he did do something that violated the World Government's requirements.
However.
"Don't worry, Mr. Vegapunk! I just want to ask you..." Kabuto pushed up his glasses again and continued to speak gently. Under Vegapunk's gaze, he slowly took out a
A document was placed in front of Vegapunk.
"???"
Just when Vegapunk looked confused, Kabuto said with a smile, "The talent introduction from the Land of Grass, do you want to know more?"
