Courtyard area, Ron's nominal home.
The chief scientist of the Science Force, Vegapunk... and his former assistant, Caesar Courant, was standing at the door of Ron's house, looking embarrassed and staring at the soldiers.
He is not a high-ranking CP0, and his relationship with Ron is not as close as Zefa and others. If he dares to go in without permission, the navy soldiers patrolling the streets will tell him with their fists what the rules are.
In this courtyard area where the generals of the headquarters live together, it is second only to the headquarters fortress in importance, and every outsider will be subject to strict scrutiny. Fortunately, there was someone in the patrol who had met Caesar when he was guarding the science unit. Otherwise, just by looking at Ron's house with a leering look, he would have been sent to prison to drink tea.
Uh-huh!
At this time, a flash of lightning appeared not far from them, and the surging current spread out, revealing Ron's figure.
With a height of more than two and a half meters and a tall and powerful body, Ron stood out like a giant spirit god in front of ordinary people. The leading soldier immediately spotted him.
"Master Ron...!!!"
As soon as the words came out, the team leader immediately realized something was wrong. The epaulets on Ron's shoulders were changed. He was still dressed in a suit and a cloak of justice, but his status was completely different. Suddenly, the original fanatical eyes became more and more excited. The team leader raised his palm and hit his forehead with a "dong", aggravating his tone.
"Lieutenant General!!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Let's continue patrolling."
Ron said calmly, and then led Caesar into the door.
"yes!!"
The team leader roared in response. After a while, he looked at the other team members with the same surprise in their eyes.
Ron…
Lieutenant General? ! !
"Ron... how old is Lieutenant General this year?"
"I don't know... I heard it's 25?"
"Isn't it possible? I'm only 27, I guess 23 at most!"
But no matter how they speculate, Ron's youth is recognized, and his strength is also recognized by default!
The youngest lieutenant general in history! !
The patrol members were shocked, and when they looked at the small courtyard building again, their expressions became even more respectful.
…
In the living room on the first floor, Ron rummaged through the refrigerator and took out two bottles of Coke.
"There's no tea, can I drink this?"
"I... I'm free!"
The first time he came to Ron's house as a guest, Caesar seemed a little restrained. After discovering that Ron had been promoted to lieutenant general after not seeing him for several months, Caesar was shocked the most! Apart from Zefa and others, he can be regarded as the witness who witnessed Ron step by step from a recruit in the new barracks to where he is today! Such a terrifying promotion speed simply refreshed his knowledge!
etc!
Wouldn't that mean if Ron became Lieutenant General
Holding Coke in his arms, Caesar asked anxiously: "Ron... Lieutenant General, are you going to serve in the G10 branch?!"
"Oh? Has the news already spread?"
Ron Da Ma Jin Dao sat back on the sofa, raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and replied with a smile: "That's right, I didn't expect the establishment of the G10 branch to be so smooth. It's only been three months!"
Suddenly, Ron noticed something was wrong with Caesar's expression. He was proud and a little depressed at the same time, and asked immediately.
"Do you know anything? Mr. Caesar."
"Ah I… "
Caesar sighed and nodded: "Yes."
It turns out that the matter started when Ron went to clear out Gaya Island. After signing various transaction regulations with the Warring States Period, the "god" Ganfu of Angel Island immediately brought people back to Angel Island to prepare for the transaction. .
Now that the residents of Angel Island and the Sandians have temporarily stopped fighting because of Kulik's mediation, no one is sure what will happen if it continues. The sooner the g10 branch is established, the better!
However, the establishment of the g10 branch does not happen overnight, even if the headquarters prepares in advance.
Limited by external factors such as the wide sea area, long transportation time, heavy materials and difficulty in handling, etc., it is impossible to speed up even if you want to.
Therefore, when Ganfu faced the first batch of modified transport airships sent to Sky Island, he did not rush to prepare shellfish transactions with the Navy. Instead, he provided the Navy with island clouds and other building materials to build a bridge between Angel Island and Gaya Island. The distance advantage helps the g10 branch to be established.
In other words, the G10 branch is not a fortress made of stones and bricks, but like the houses of the residents of the empty island, it is made of island clouds as the main material!
This is where Caesar's depression lies...
The magical cloud type of Island Cloud attracted Vegapunk's attention. After asking someone to bring back a few pieces, he turned around and plunged into research, so that the progress of the research and development of the plasma cannon was delayed, making Caesar Courant for the first time in his life. Once, maybe the only time, he defeated Vegapunk!
"Mr. Vegapunk came to me... I guess he wants to perfect the pacifist by studying the thunder fruit, right?"
Ron thought about it and understood what Vegapunk meant. He had also had the idea of connecting with Vegapunk, but after several attempts, both of them missed it.
Vegapunk is also an interesting guy. Faced with the fate that he and Ron have crossed over again and again, he just refuses to admit defeat! He would rather try things over and over again by asking Warring States to issue a notice.
Perhaps it was this kind of stubbornness that made him the world's top scientist, and Ron ended up in peace anyway.
But it's hard to say what happens next. He is about to take over as the base director of the G10 branch. Vegapunk has plenty of time to find him... As the saying goes, a monk who can run away can't run away from the temple, that's all.
"So, my Armstrong... bah! Where's the railgun?"
"It's done! That's what I'm here for!"
Speaking of his project, Caesar was dazzled: "By studying your blood, I successfully completed the electromagnetic gun! And the effect after completion was more exaggerated than I imagined! The maximum range reached an astonishing 430 kilometers and the speed was 5000m/s!" "
430 kilometers? !
5000m/s? ! !
Ron took a breath, this data is really terrifying! !
His ultra-electric speed is currently only a few kilometers per second, but it will be limited by the current intensity and cloud distribution of the clouds, and the actual speed cannot reach the theoretical maximum at all! But the electromagnetic gun is different. It is just a weapon with a fixed initial propulsion force and little external interference. Once launched, it can maintain a terrifying speed of 5000m/s!
At this speed, even a ball of air is powerful enough to crack mountains and crack rocks! !
The more Caesar talked, the more excited he became. He stood up and danced around, looking like a cheap cowherd as the smoke swayed.
"You know, Lieutenant General Ron, although I haven't had the chance to try it, even if the legendary Yonko Kaido stands in front of the electromagnetic gun, he might be blasted out of a hole by it!"
"Within the range, the electromagnetic gun is a symbol of invincibility!!!"
"It's the electromagnetic gun..."
Ron corrected Caesar's wording and was filled with emotion.
As expected of the world of One Piece, where black technology frequently appears, this railgun will be the most cutting-edge technology on earth!
But he suddenly realized two questions and asked calmly.
"Then... what's the cost? How to solve the problem of energy?"
"Due to the transfer of your fruit ability, the railgun can be charged by all electrical energy. As long as a few generators are installed in the G10 branch, sufficient power can be provided. I have seen the topographic map of Gaya Island. Wind power and hydropower will be sufficient. ! As for the cost... uh... "
Caesar suddenly became speechless, turned his head, and clasped the back of his head in embarrassment under Ron's cold gaze.
"It's a big killer! Isn't it normal that it can't be classified as a conventional weapon?!"
