There are still six days left before the crusade against BIG MOM.
Today Foxy plans to visit the Navy's Science Department, and by the way, he will meet the world's number one scientist who may be the Big Boss.
The Department of Naval Science has research institutes in many places, such as Mainland Marineland, Impel Down, Mariejoia, and some inconspicuous islands along the Grand Line.
Even the New World has them, such as Punk Hassard.
Some time ago, Vegapunk was conducting experiments underground on a desert island near Marinevando. Foxy took a warship and followed Hina and some guards to the research laboratory.
Foxy had notified the Ministry of Science that he would come to inspect before arriving. After all, the Ministry of Science was going to undergo reforms next.
"marshal."
On the way to the island peacefully, Foxy was greeted by a huge fat man wearing a red bellyband and carrying a big ax who looked like a girl.
He is a subordinate of Porusalino and is now the captain of the Science Department.
Responsible for managing the Science Department, and also one of Vegapunk's bodyguards.
When Foxy didn't become Marshal, Porusalino's usual task was to protect Vegapunk.
"Captain Zhan Tiaowan, have you received the document on the reform of the Science Department?"
Foxy followed Zhan Tiaomaru and took the elevator into the underground.
"It has been received. Our Science Department immediately changed the research direction and started studying weapons."
Zhan Tiaowan did not give the new marshal any trouble.
The old man had reminded him before, and he also knew how powerful the man in front of him was.
"Very good, I hope to see advanced weapons unique to the navy as soon as possible."
The elevator went down one floor and finally stopped at the -20th floor.
The elevator door opened, and what appeared in front of Foxy was a space full of technology. Many scientists in white coats could be seen.
"Marshal! Do you want to inspect our research room?"
"good!"
Foxy did not meet Vegapunk immediately, but followed Zhan Tiaomaru to look around various areas.
Compared to Utopia's Science Department, the Navy is obviously inferior.
The main reason is that technological development has gone astray.
After wandering around for more than ten minutes, under Foxy's instruction, everyone came to the door of an independent research room in the depths. Zhan Tiaowan pressed his fingerprints and checked his pupils before opening the door.
"You all stay!"
As the door of the research room opened, Foxy looked at Sentomaru, Hina and some guards.
"yes."
Zhan Tiaomaru scratched his head, so he and Hina waited outside.
Foxy entered the research room alone. The space inside was larger than expected. After all, it was the place where Vegapunk researched.
The measures inside are full of modernization, but they are not very advanced in terms of advancement.
Even so, Foxy couldn't understand many things.
"I've met Marshal Silver Fox."
Just as Fokker was walking and looking at some nutrient nests around him, a voice sounded in vain.
Foxy looked away and saw a figure turning around from the research platform and looking at Foxy with a smile.
Wearing white glasses, he is a middle-aged man who looks no different from an ordinary uncle. He is slender and wearing a white coat, and his hair is a bit messy.
The hands holding the tools were as ordinary as they could be, but those pupils were exceptionally bright and deep.
Literature and art are sparks of wisdom.
"Dr. Vegapunk."
Foxy remained calm, looking at the middle-aged man and nodding.
"I heard that the marshal is coming to inspect the Ministry of Science and wants to reform it. It seems that he attaches great importance to science and technology!"
Vegapunk put down his tools, pushed up his glasses and spoke calmly.
"The Navy has always attached great importance to technology."
Foxy stepped forward and looked at Vegapunk's research platform, slightly curious, "You are said to be 500 years ahead of today's technology and a scientist who is 500 years ahead of human wisdom. I believe those modern weapons in Utopia will not be a problem for you, right?"
!”
"There were difficulties before, but not anymore!"
Vegapunk smiled and asked, "What does the marshal need to drink?"
“Coffee bar!”
"Make two cups of fresh coffee." As soon as Foxy finished speaking, Vegapunk said something to the air.
"Happy to serve you."
An electronic voice sounded, making Foxy squint his eyes.
"Doctor, what is this voice?"
"Oh, a technology called artificial intelligence is still being improved."
Just then, a robot came out from the corner carrying twice as hot coffee.
Foxy took the coffee from the robot's hand and felt a little shocked.
You must know that Artificial Intelligence Utopia is also researching, but compared to the sounds he heard at this moment, Foxy could clearly feel that the two sides were not on the same level.
Because Foxy felt the emotion from this artificial intelligence voice, even though he tried his best to hide it, Foxy could still detect it.
Foxy has been using his sense of sight since he entered the house, but he can't hear any of Vegapunk's inner voice.
“What kind of weapon does artificial intelligence belong to?”
Foxx didn't understand, and at the same time he put away his emotions.
His intuition told him that the person in front of him was extraordinary.
"The marshal can be understood as a kind of robot. After successful research, it will have human thinking ability. Strictly speaking, it does not belong to weapons."
Vegapunk tried his best to explain.
"It's not a weapon? It's useless."
Foxy still pretended not to understand.
"Although it is not a weapon, it can assist me in my research. It is an auxiliary type."
Vegapunk didn’t explain it in depth either.
"Doctor, I believe you have observed the weapons of the Utopian Empire! Can you research things like those advanced rifles and missiles?"
"Especially a weapon called a nuclear bomb."
Foxy changed the subject and was not talking nonsense about artificial intelligence.
"Yes, but it will take some time."
Vegapunk nodded firmly.
"That's good, then I'll trouble the doctor to research these weapons. In addition, I took a look at the documents of the Ministry of Science in the past few days and found that the doctor has been researching the "Human Weapons" project since a year ago, right?
"
"Yes, it was the order given by Marshal of the Warring States Period."
Vegapunk nodded.
"What was the result?"
Foxy drank coffee slowly.
"It's mature, but I want to further optimize it. Human weapons are now living human weapons. It will take some time to evolve into a complete body."
"What else is the doctor studying besides this?"
Foxy looked around with his cup of coffee. There were many strange things that he couldn't understand, but there were some things that Foxy could understand, but even if he did, he pretended not to understand.
Such as supercomputers.
"We are currently improving basic weapons, such as firearms and artillery shells..."
Vegapunk looked at Foxy's back calmly.
"It seems that the doctor is also studying devil fruits?"
Foxy stopped in an area and looked at the Devil Fruits that had been cut or peeled.
"I wonder if the doctor has ever heard of artificial devil fruits?"
Turning to look at Vegapunk, he continued without waiting for the other party to speak, "I got information that Utopia is cultivating so-called artificial devil fruits. I heard that humans can cultivate devil fruits, but I don't know if it is true.
The chief scientist of Utopia, Dr., should also know M. Caesar Courant and Vinsmoke Gage. As far as I know, the doctor has also worked with both of them."
"Caesar and Gaji?" Vegapunk frowned slightly, and then replied, "The artificial Devil Fruit is real, but it has huge flaws."
"Does that mean the doctor has mastered the technology of artificial devil fruits?"
Foxy looked interested..

Do you think Vegapunk will be the boss?
Some say it’s Roger, some say it’s Rocks, or maybe even Im!
Please tell me your guesses so that the farmer can copy them!
