Chapter 742 Extra: Twenty-Two Science Otakus
"Hiss——"
Adrian gritted his teeth and gasped.
No doubt about it!
Dr. Vegapunk's level completely exceeded his expectations!
Level 100 limit!
What is this concept?
Kaido, the "Hundred Beasts" who stole Wano, Katakuri, the "highest masterpiece" before evolving, and Shanks, the "second greatest swordsman in the world" who challenged Hawkeye in a duel!
These three people were almost at this level back then.
But Dr. Vegapunk, what virtues and abilities does he have——
etc!
Adrian blinked and suddenly realized that he was startled by Dr. Vegapunk's level, but subconsciously ignored another question.
The total personal level of an NPC does not represent his true personal strength, but depends on the level of his [main occupation].
Give an example.
When Adrian entered the Chambord Islands for the first time, his level was only level 60, and he was just a young swordsman who had just broken through. However, with the [Ghost Fruit] at full level in both abilities, he was stunned. He and Kizaru, and even the general Sengoku who arrived later, forced a 50-50 fight!
And what about Dr. Vegapunk?
Naturally, there is only one possible main occupation for this world-famous doctor with super high intelligence - [scientist]! (It may also be other variants of the scientist profession)
In other words, the level of Dr. Vegapunk's main profession [Scientist] is the real reason why his overall level is so high!
If we say that Adrian back then was a representative of "low level" but "high strength".
So the current Dr. Vegapunk is an example of "high level" but "low strength"!
certainly.
This situation is just Adrian's personal speculation, and may require actual combat to confirm, but through the previous analysis of [Information and Color Haki] and [Rational Analysis].
Dr. Vegapunk's aura of strength is quite weak, and he is not a Devil Fruit user...
Looking at it this way, Adrian's analysis is quite reasonable!
‘But it’s not safe yet…’
Adrian, who had the [Hidden Master] BUFF, squinted his eyes. A sharp red light flashed in his pupils. The domineering power of [Future Prediction] was activated. Scenes of scenes that might happen in the future were deep in his eyes. passed quickly.
The predicted future scene... 'Adrian' unlocked the [Hidden Master] without being discovered... Accumulated spiritual pressure and spread of surging momentum, causing chaos in the laboratory... Dr. Vegapunk turned around in horror He came, but was pierced through the forehead by a spiritual pressure light cannon... without any resistance, he died cleanly!
The red light in Adrian's eyes dissipated, and [predicting the future] undoubtedly added another weight to the authenticity of his analysis and speculation.
According to the attack speed of "His Future", even characters around level 60 can dodge. If Dr. Vegapunk's true strength is that powerful (that is, the limit of level 100), then the opponent will not die no matter what. So straightforward!
‘It’s time to show up! ’
Adrian made up his mind to remove the [Hidden Master] BUFF.
Just like the result of [Predicting the Future], Dr. Vegapunk in front was still immersed in scientific experiments and did not notice that a stranger suddenly appeared in the laboratory.
Adrian stretched out his right hand, casually picked two clean glass measuring cylinders from the test bench next to him, and bumped them against each other a few times.
Ding, ding!
The crisp knocking sound of glass resounded in the laboratory, instantly attracting Dr. Begapunk's attention.
And the doctor's reaction was interesting.
He was stunned at first, as if wondering why such a sound suddenly came out in the quiet laboratory;
Then his body stiffened again, as if he recalled some unpleasant memory;
At the end, the doctor slowly put down the experimental notebook in his hand, raised his hands above his head at the same time, and turned around as if surrendering, also at an extremely slow speed.
Adrian looked at the famous Dr. Vegapunk with great interest.
This doctor's appearance is not handsome, but he is not ugly either. He looks very mediocre. There is a pair of unremarkable black-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose. The eyes behind the lenses are the only attractive thing about this face. Those eyes They are so calm and wise, as if all the questions in the world can be answered accurately in these eyes.
"First time meeting you, Dr. Vegapunk." Adrian put down the glass measuring cylinder in his hand and smiled slightly, "But it seems that I have disturbed you a little."
Dr. Vegapunk, who looked pale because he had not seen the sun for too long, relaxed slightly after seeing that the "stranger" did not show any hostility. His hands that were originally raised above his head slowly Hang it down to your abdomen, trying to look as harmless as possible.
"Sir, you are...wait!"
Dr. Vegapunk first twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to show an awkward yet polite smile, but then he seemed to remember something.
"You are the new emperor of the sea! White Ghost?!"
Due to Adrian's stationing activities in the new world some time ago, he continued to defeat challengers one after another. Among the several mission requirements of the S-class mission [Emperor of the Sea], the new "World-class Legend of Pirates" Get it and you will be the [Pirate Emperor]!
So Dr. Vegapunk can know...
It's not too surprising.
"That's right, just call me White Ghost, Dr. Vegapunk." Adrian nodded slightly.
"White, white ghost..."
Dr. Vegapunk's expression seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time. He had no idea why the pirate emperor, who was so powerful in the new world, would come to Punk Hassad so suddenly, or appear in his own laboratory!
What’s even worse is...
In order to protect the privacy of scientists, there are no camera bugs in this laboratory (well, in fact, this is a secret modification by Dr. Vegapunk himself), and the outside world will not know about the sudden arrival in the laboratory. Such a terrifying existence.
Dr. Vegapunk instinctively didn't want to think about whether all the guards stationed on Punk Hassad Island had been killed by the White Ghost. That was definitely an answer he didn't want to know.
"You seem a little scared, Mr. Doctor."
Dr. Vegapunk glanced at the white ghost helplessly. Isn't this a natural question?
If a normal ordinary person sees a pirate emperor and is not frightened and faints on the spot, he is considered to have outstanding psychological quality!
Well...
Dr. Vegapunk, who reached the 100th level, classified himself into the category of "normal ordinary people"...
Adrian coughed lightly. He somewhat ignored the threat his "prestige" posed to ordinary people in this era, especially a scientist who stayed in the laboratory all day long doing scientific experiments.
"Actually, I'm here to discuss an experiment with the doctor."
? ? ?
Three big question marks appeared on Dr. Vegapunk's extremely intelligent head, and his heart was filled with waves.
Could it be...
Am I behind the times?
There are actually pirates who like scientific experiments appearing in this sea?
I had heard before that that guy Quinn joined an unknown New World pirate group after leaving MADS...
Of course Adrian saw Dr. Vegapunk's suspicion, but he had nothing to do. He couldn't hit or scold this doctor who relied entirely on his brains.
If he really wants to complete the target experiment, Adrian must rely on Dr. Vegapunk's independent cooperation.
After thinking for a moment, Adrian finally found a suitable topic.
"Mr. Doctor, have you heard of [bloodline factor technology]?" (End of Chapter)
