One Piece – Thundergod Marine

Chapter 149: Crossed fate

Views:

Vegapunk, the chief scientist of the Naval Scientific Force, is not actually under the management of Kizaru, the Minister of the Scientific Force, and even Navy Marshal Sengoku has no authority to command him. He was directly ordered by Wulaoxing and only accepted orders from Wulaoxing.

From pacifists to lightning stimulation equipment, all were researched by Vegapunk after the Five Old Stars nodded.

In this way, "rare guest" makes sense.

Vegapunk took off his hat and put it on the table, straightened his brown afro, and got straight to the point: "General Kizaru, I wonder if Major General Ron is at the headquarters now?"

He came to see Ron. The last time Kizaru told him not to think nonsense for a year, Sengoku would not agree to let him go, so Vegapunk waited honestly for a year.

Now that the one-year period has passed, he asked Kizaru to help contact him, but when he couldn't wait for a long time, he simply came to visit in person.

Only scientists can realize the importance of the power of "electricity"!

Those with the power of the Thunder Fruit are born with the ability to control thunder and lightning. They are simply the perfect assistants to scientists!

Of course, Vegapunk also knew that it was impossible for the Five Old Stars to agree to the proposal of letting Ron be his assistant. They valued Ron's contribution, and at the same time, Ron's talent also made them quite excited.

As mentioned before, if he had not become a monk halfway but had been trained since childhood, they would have roped Ron into Mary Joa as their confidant.

Vegapunk was so refreshing and neat, Kizaru smacked his lips and his expression was frozen for a second.

Sure enough, I was looking for Ron...

what to do

I failed to do what I promised, and someone came to visit me.

Even a person like Kizaru is a bit unable to step down at this time.

He originally planned to contact both parties to meet immediately after the Puji mission was over. After the generals completed a mission, they would have some time off unless there was an emergency.

As a result, due to some unknown reasons, Ron stayed in Puke for more than a month, and it was not until the holiday time was almost over that Garp took over the task and left.

Then I didn't mention it anymore. During this period, Kizaru arranged for someone to go to the Capital of Seven Waters to wait in advance, hoping to discuss related matters.

But after all calculations, they didn't expect that Ron would develop the "Super Electric Speedy" move. What they waited for was a large army led by the insignificant Dongte.

The emergence of "Super Speed" allows Ron to go wherever he wants, without any routes!

Waiting for a month was in vain. Kizaru only found out about Ron after he was dragged away by Zefa to practice.

Then, three months passed...

Vegapunk fought his way to the doorstep.

The two sides looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere became strange.

"Ahem, Ron... He is indeed at the headquarters. Yesterday he was discussing with Caesar about researching your scrapped plasma cannon. He must have submitted an application to the marshal by now."

After thinking for a moment, Kizaru decided to answer truthfully.

Regarding Caesar's cooperation with Ron behind his back, Kizaru said it didn't matter.

He is just a facade and has never interfered with the operation of the scientific force.

After all, he himself was transferred to command the naval science force because he cooperated with Vegapunk to develop laser weapons and in order to better cooperate.

When Ron becomes stronger, this position may be changed at any time.

"General" is Kizaru's job.

Vegapunk is thin and slender, and is as weak as most researchers, but his eyes are as bright and piercing as the sun.

He stared at Kizaru seriously, staring at him until he lost his temper.

After a moment, Vegapunk looked away, nodded and asked.

"That's good... Caesar wants to study my plasma cannon? Where is it?"

"Port No. 7 on the east side..."

Kizaru answered, suddenly confused: "Aren't you here to see Ron? Why are you looking for Caesar?"

"Since he is at the headquarters, I have plenty of time this time... In addition, he should have taken a fancy to the power of the plasma cannon. With his help, perfecting the plasma cannon will be just around the corner."

"In that case, why don't I solve the plasma cannon problem directly and let him owe me a favor? This is easy for me!"

Who says scientists have zero emotional intelligence

Vegapunk is a vivid negative example.

If you don't meet people or talk about things at all, you should prepare the meeting gifts first.

Kizaru recalled his experience of being tricked into joining the science force. He leaned back in his seat and took out his nail clippers as a sign of farewell: "Okay, as long as you are happy."

Port No. 7 is an independent naval port. It is different from the bay port directly in front of the fortress. Its responsibility is to allow warships to move when the bay port is unavailable. It is an "emergency channel."

It’s all the Golden Lion’s fault!

The raid more than ten years ago made Sengoku and others realize that Marineford had been stable for too long, and there was no effective evacuation path in case of emergency.

If these hidden ports had been used to evacuate civilians, how could there have been so many casualties

As a result, the emergency passage came into being. The maintenance work is strict and meticulous, and there is no dare to be careless. It is in line with the saying "be prepared for danger in times of peace".

There are nine such hidden port navies, and it would not be a big deal if one was occupied by Caesar.

With a large team of bodyguards, Vegapunk quickly arrived at Port No. 7.

From the outside, it looks like a bare cliff, with sand and sea water lapping at the beach, and it is deserted. But after bypassing the trees, you can find the entrance to the passage. Several navy soldiers are guarding here. They were stunned when they saw them, and then raised their weapons.

"Stop! Show your IDs!"

"Bold! Do you know who we are?!"

A strong bodyguard was furious. They were a special group of people from the World Government. They didn't even have to salute when they saw Sengoku. How dare a mere soldier treat them like this.

"Military powerhouse, please show your documents!"

Hearing what the other party said, the soldier softened his words slightly, but still did not put down the raised gun.

At this moment, a group of soldiers carrying supplies came from a distance, pushing various instruments covered by white cloth and moving forward.

If you want to make a railgun, the corresponding equipment is indispensable. After Caesar preserved Ron's blood, he immediately went back to move things.

The leader was none other than Caesar. He suddenly saw two groups of people confronting each other in front of him. His eyes rested on the conspicuous white man in the black suit for a moment, and his expression darkened.

"Vegapunk!"

But immediately, he was "overjoyed" and leaned over with his hands spread out.

"call out!"

"This is really, really... unexpected! Mr. Vegapunk..."

"You didn't upgrade the pacifists at the Beihai base, but you came to the Navy headquarters and stayed back and forth for at least a month. Is this... considered dereliction of duty?"

Caesar bared his fangs and said pointedly: "If the Five Old Stars knew about this, I don't know what they would think..."

However…

"This is exactly the vacation approved by Wulaoxing..."

Vegapunk remained motionless, turning his head silently, and suddenly smiled: "Long time no see, Caesar, which phase of the lightning stimulation device have you completed? I have completed all PX-3!"

px-3, the third generation upgraded version of pacifist after px-1 and px-2, while the lightning stimulation instrument has only completed the second generation. If you include the bearman px-0, Vegapunk is fully ahead. Caesar's two stages.

This is how scientists fight, using the progress of the same project to test their superiority!

As expected, Caesar's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this: "Nani?! Impossible!! How long did it take you to complete px-1?!"

Version upgrade does not mean that you can rename a version by modifying a certain part, but it must be comprehensively and completely upgraded before it can be regarded as a new version.

It only took half a year for Vegapunk to complete px-1, but it has already been upgraded to px-3? !

So what does it mean that he just completed the second phase of the lightning stimulation device

Idiot? !

"That's true, believe it or not."

Vegapunk smiled proudly, making Caesar's face turn blue.

Vegapunk doesn't have much ill will toward Caesar. The other party had worked with him as his assistant for many years, and he often came up with wonderful ideas to help him overcome difficulties, so he was considered a close friend.

However, since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. As an outstanding scientist of the same era, the other party has always lived under his own light, and it is normal to want to surpass him.

However, if there is an opportunity to attack the opponent, Vegapunk will not refuse.
