"What is this iron shell?"
Domino, sitting in the armored vehicle, looked at the control panel in front of Vivian and the surrounding iron walls like a curious baby, and asked in surprise.
"This is called an armored vehicle. It was developed by scientists at our headquarters."
Vivian explained to everyone while controlling the armored vehicle forward.
By the way, wasn’t Vivian’s motorcycle scrapped during the Battle of Marineford
After seeing that strange thing, some people in the World Government really remembered it. Not only did they recycle all the broken parts when cleaning up the battlefield, but after continuous research, they also developed a variety of "cars" based on the original technology.
However, since this is a world where oceans account for more than 97% of the world's surface, the only means of transportation people use most of the time is ships. Therefore, vehicles were abandoned by governments some time after they were invented.
Even the large armored vehicle he was riding in now, which could be used in wars, was not listed as a mass-produced vehicle by the navy. After all, the idea of using warships to transport armored vehicles like this to other islands for fighting was outrageous. Unless one had something like the universal capsule like Vivian, it would be difficult for the vehicle to be produced and widely used in the next few dozen or even hundreds of years.
It's the universal capsule thing...
Vivian has never had any intention of voluntarily handing it over to the World Government for study.
After all, he also couldn't stand the Celestial Dragons. If the Revolutionary Army were to replace those guys one day, he might consider it then.
"A scientist from headquarters?"
"Is it the legendary man named Vegapunk?" Fujitora suddenly asked.
"Um."
Vivian, who was sitting in the driver's seat, nodded. "That's him. Come to think of it, I'd like to see what such a smart person looks like."
Vegapunk, a man who invented a series of advanced technologies including propulsion devices, bloodline factors, seastone transformation technology, pacifists, artificial devil fruits, and the ability to make objects "eat" devil fruits, is known as a genius who surpasses human intelligence by 500 years...
Vivian, who had reread the original novel before, even suspected that this guy might be a time traveler like him, who came from a world with more advanced technology.
But then I thought again, maybe this guy has eaten some kind of devil fruit similar to the "Fruit of Wisdom"
But in short, Vivian was indeed a little curious and wanted to meet this guy called Vegapunk.
Maybe... with his "rich imagination", this guy can create more incredible inventions. Is that possible
And at the moment he was fantasizing, the armored vehicle under his control was already approaching the back door of Onigashima Castle.
Along the way, there were still many pirates blocking the way ahead and trying to stop them in various ways, but they were all blasted away by Vivian's reinforced gun barrels extending from the front of the car.
The pirates just watched helplessly as the iron lump drove past them. Although they were unwilling, they could do nothing about it.
There is no way, because the "iron sheet" is made of metal mixed with seastone.
Not to mention the swordsman who could zantetsu, even with the ordinary armament Haki, it would be impossible to damage it in the slightest. What's more, most of the pirates who came to intercept them were using traditional flintlock lances
It's just like scratching an itch.
Not long after, when the front of the armored vehicle knocked open the back door and rushed into the first floor of the castle, the scene seemed to have already experienced a great battle and became a mess.
Gravel and wood chips were scattered everywhere. Many pirates were lying on the ground covered in blood, groaning as they died. Among them were a small number of Wano country samurai.
Vivian got out of the armored vehicle, glanced at the pirates behind him who had not yet caught up, then stepped forward, helped up a samurai who was still alive, and asked, "Where are the Straw Hat Pirates?"
However, the answer he got was: "Wano Country... will be liberated... today!"
This was followed by the sound of biting the tongue and swallowing.
When the samurai closed his eyes and completely lost his breath, Vivian put him back on the ground with respect, then bowed deeply and cursed to himself in a low voice: "Damn it, you thought I was a member of the Beasts Pirates..."
"However, the will of these rebels is really strong enough."
In order to wait for the day when Wano Country was founded, he hid in secret for twenty years, just for Toki's nonsensical words of "Nine Saviors"...
"Come to think of it, if there are really nine people, then they should be the Straw Hat Pirates, right? Otherwise, it must be Luffy and the rest of the supernovas..."
In short, it can't be the Nine Red Scabbards.
"Why is there no one here?"
The soldiers behind him also got out of the armored vehicles and looked at Vivian.
"They should all be upstairs."
Vivian pointed overhead.
Then the next second, accompanied by a shout, the group of pirates who had been following the armored vehicle before also seized the opportunity when they got off the vehicle, picked up their weapons and quickly rushed up.
"Jinbei, I leave this to you."
Vivian said directly without turning around.
After saying this, Jinbei, who understood Vivian's intention, immediately assumed the starting stance of Fishman Karate and punched out while assuring, "Leave the rearguard to me, General Vivian. You only need to go and arrest Kaido and BIG MOM..."
"How shameless! Do you think you, the navy, can capture my mother and Lord Kaido?"
Several pirates from the BIG MOM Pirates were very dissatisfied when they heard this.
boom!
The fist and the blade collided with each other.
In the smoke, Vivian listened to the fighting and shouting coming from behind, but he never even turned his head back once. He just put the armored vehicle back into the capsule, then held a lollipop in his mouth and rushed to the stone steps leading to the upper level.
Of course, he trusted Jinbei's strength.
Furthermore..
If he had been a little slower, BIG MOM and Kaido might have been taken care of. Then he would have failed the mission and been punished by having hundreds of attribute points deducted. Who would he turn to for justice
Thinking of this, the amplitude of the swing of his feet couldn't help but speed up a little bit.
And at the same time.
"Wow!
!”
Zoro, who had taken the combined attack from BIG MOM and Kaido, was paralyzed on the ground, completely losing consciousness.
