As Vegapunk gave orders, the huge command room fell into silence and the sound of a pindrop. Everyone found earmuffs and sunglasses to put on their faces, and then stared at the big screen intently.
It looked like a structural diagram of the Sky Fortress, and the small square at the bottom representing the power room was red.
"I think… "
Ron opened his mouth to say that he didn't have earmuffs or sunglasses yet.
But at this time, Vegapunk gave an order.
"ignition!"
The next second...
Buzz! !
The conduit in his hand struggled wildly as if it came alive, and a heart-stopping electric current erupted from the inside. The specially-made conduit continued to rise to high temperatures and became soft and melted in the face of the electric current. Ron put on his armor and held it tightly, his fingers digging into the surface, leaving marks that were clearly visible even with fingerprints.
Sizzle!
Suddenly, a current extended from the conduit and quickly spread all over the ground. The intensity of the current and voltage reminded Ron of the days when he was struck by lightning on Hell Island. His whole body was electrified and he could only stand there unable to move.
However, Vegapunk seemed to have been prepared for this. He reached out and pressed the operating panel, and an insulating wall rose from the ground, separating Ron from the rest of the command room.
The screen was filled with blue electricity, and deafening thunder sounded in his ears. Ron stood there with his dead eyes rolled over, thinking about a question.
I'm just here to recharge my weapon, what's going on now
Fortunately, as the current surged through the conduit, the Sky Fortress soon heard a very rhythmic vibration, which was similar to a car starting its engine. The powerful power brought by the steel fuel made the people in the Sky Fortress Great spirits!
"Success!!"
"One successful ignition!"
"Quick, let's put the replacement parts in now!"
Vegapunk jumped up happily, and the command room was filled with joy.
Under the sky fortress structure diagram on the wall, the red pattern was replaced by blue, with a big "safe" written next to it. A group of people excitedly came to the other side of the wall to wait for Ron to appear. After seeing him, they rushed up to shake hands.
"Thank you Lieutenant General Ron for your help! It's really a big help!"
"A success, thanks to you, Lieutenant General Ron!"
"Yes! After Lieutenant General Garp crushed the catheter, we all thought there was nothing we could do. Fortunately, you are here!"
It turned out to be him! !
Ron was so angry that he knew there must be something fishy about Garp wanting to switch shifts with him!
Five shadows...ah!
Although the five lieutenants of the headquarters can't defeat Jhin together, they won't be as dangerous as Garp said. Jhin has a slim chance of killing any one of them, let alone five people working together.
There is no need for him to rush down to take over!
But now that the matter has come to this, he can't go down and fight for Garp, and Warring States will definitely not spare him.
With a chuckle, Ron slowly walked out of the crowd and said to Vegapunk: "Mr. Vegapunk, I'm here to recharge the electromagnetic gun."
Railgun!
This is the big killer weapon that the Navy has prepared for this war!
He will be escorted by Garp himself, trying to ensure nothing goes wrong!
If you give it a try, you won’t lose any meat. What if you see a ghost? !
Kaido's dog-skin plaster is the most troublesome to the navy among the four emperors. How happy it is to be able to kill him!
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about the real thing!"
Vegapunk slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"You continue to check, I will take Lieutenant General Ron out for a while!"
"clear!"
…
In the corridor, Ron looked curiously at the various passages around him. Behind the intricate passages were walls with vaguely visible metal fittings. The tubes were flashing with blue electric light, constantly shrinking and undulating, as if they were breathing.
"Is this what Mr. Vegapunk has been busy with lately? What about the pacifists?"
Since the last time they met in the South China Sea, Bega Punk has never contacted Ron again. And it was just a simple meeting. Ron didn't even enter the base after handing him the chart.
Counting it all together, a full year has passed since Ron followed Zefa to supervise actual combat training!
"Pacifist has entered the late stage of research and development, and upgrading is not that easy... The current px-3 model is enough for use. The cost of px-4 cannot be reduced, and it will not be deployed on a large scale for the time being."
These things were not a secret to Ron, who was a high-ranking lieutenant general in the headquarters. Vegapunk did not hold back and explained them to him in detail.
Just like Caesar's railgun was rejected by the Warring States Period, the new version of px-4 also has the problem of high cost. Caesar had previously been made a useless toy by Vegapunk, but he himself encountered the same problem in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, as the top scientist most valued by the world government, even if there is no need to develop px-5 for the time being, Vegapunk will not be able to rest, and he will soon be transferred to another major project.
That is the flying fortress under their feet! !
"The shellfish production on Sky Island has a growth cycle, and under the mobilization of the G10 branch, it soon became beyond its means... Ganfu had to come up with a new airship structure diagram and navy obtained from the refugees of the Bika royal family. trade in exchange for more Bass.”
It’s impossible for Ganfur to be unaware of how much prying eyes the Golden Land Sandora’s birth will attract. “War Ghost” Weber will not take the initiative to reveal anything after being threatened by Ron, and as a ruler, he will not break the rules.
Vegapunk explained as he walked. He glanced at Ron and said, "The design was left by the ancestors of the Bika people hundreds of years ago, but the design on it is far beyond the limits of the times... Previously, the world government suspected that it was related to the ancient times. Weapons are related, and their construction is not allowed if their illness is tabooed."
"Then things took a turn more than half a year ago... The Nibelungen family came forward and approved this plan. Together with many officials in the government who support the control of ancient weapons to end the great pirate era, they provided funds and arranged for me to be responsible for the construction."
"So there was this flying fortress called the Ark!"
"Ark? Proverbs?"
Ron thought of the wooden spaceship that appeared in the original book and could even reach the moon, and nodded.
It is normal for the world government to be afraid of the appearance of the Ark.
In terms of technology, it really shouldn’t be a product of hundreds of years ago!
If the airship was so easy to build, Vegapunk wouldn't have started designing the airship after He led the team to find the sky island. Only a fool can't see how great the advantage of air-to-ground warfare is. If it has not been realized, it can only be said that it has been limited by technology.
The relationship between the Nibelungen family and myself is unclear, and counting the time, half a year ago
While they were building the Sky Fortress, Liriske seemed to have led a team to the Capital of Seven Waters... Within a few days, news came that Mayor Bingshan had been assassinated.
As for the Capital of Seven Waters, there are few people in the government who don’t know that they are related to the ancient weapon Pluto!
There are many people in the One Piece world who hold big secrets, and Ron just doesn't want to interfere with them and destroy the original work, thereby losing his plot advantage. But the accident on the iceberg still made him understand that his appearance had already affected the plot.
Ron didn't check whether Franky would still stay in the Seven Waters Capital. He believed that with the death of Bingshan, every move he made would be regarded as some kind of signal from the Nibelungen family.
In particular, his battle with Lirisk was well known.
Denon No. 1 is such a loser, it’s a hammer!
Ron didn't think much about it, but Vegapunk glanced at Ron in surprise and sighed with a hint.
"Lieutenant General Ron is very well informed!"
"We contacted many senior scholars from Kongdao to successfully decipher the name 'Proverbs'. Although they are not taboo ancient knowledge, they are completely different from Qinghai characters. Many senior archaeologists have never seen them."
Ron: "..."
Oh haha!
There is indeed a gap between Kongdao script and Qinghai script. When reading the original work, it was translated into a font he could understand, so Ron kept it in mind and never took it seriously.
But in the reality of the One Piece world, people who can understand Sky Island characters, and even Sky Islanders themselves have not used the ancient Sky Island fonts that have been used for hundreds of years, cannot help but make Vegapunk doubt it!
"If I said... I'm an alien, would you feel weird?"
Ron's face twitched and he smiled.
Vegapunk looked at him deeply, stopped in front of a door, and nodded.
"Yes, but I believe it!"
"The more I get to know you, the more weird I feel about you... People often say that the more they know, the more ignorant and insignificant they feel. I used to scoff at this statement!"
"But since I met you, I started to believe it."
Crunch…!
The metal winch began to circle slowly, driving the door to open slowly from left to right.
Looking at the ferocious and domineering cannon behind the door that had undergone some unknown transformation, Ron's eyes widened in shock.
"What's this?!"
"I thought you would give me the answer, Lieutenant General Ron..."
Vegapunk stepped into the room, and the sticky feeling under his feet gave him goosebumps all over his body.
