Chapter 309: Pack up and take away the island with you! (Please give me a monthly pass for 7k for two updates!)
Any scientific research requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.
Not to mention the world's number one scientist like Vegapunk, whose "science and technology are five hundred years ahead of the times and eight hundred years behind the times"!
Storm also had the idea of recruiting Vegapunk before, but he has not taken action yet.
One of the most critical reasons is that——
Storm does not have enough resources for Vegapunk research!
With no resources and just raising a Vegapunk, do we have to rely on the "world's largest brain" to build a nuclear reactor by himself?
If Storm remembers correctly, someone tried to recruit Bega Punk more than ten years ago.
——Not Lou Feld, the king of loan sharks.
The MADS organization funded by the loan shark king Lou Feld, that is a story from a long time ago...
More than ten years ago - to be precise, the year O'Hara was destroyed by order of the World Government.
Vegapunk went to O'Hara to pay homage to Dr. Clover, and then met Monkey D. Dorag on O'Hara Island who had not yet formed a revolutionary army.
The current revolutionary army had not yet been established back then. At that time, there were only "self-reliant armies".
Monkey D. Dolag was the captain of the Volunteer Army at that time.
Dorag also wanted to recruit Vegapunk back then and offered an olive branch to the world's number one genius. He wanted to use the mind and technology of the world's number one genius to change the world.
But at that time, Vegapunk also rejected Dorag without hesitation.
The fundamental reason is this -
In a poor army like the Volunteer Army, even with Vegapunk's knowledge and technology, they can't produce anything useful at all!
But it’s different now.
Storm defeated Charlotte Lingling, nearly destroyed the entire BIGMOM pirate group, occupied Totland of All Nations and took the wealth of this pirate kingdom into his own hands.
In addition, Tianyaksha, the loan shark king, the big-handed mortician, the warehouse industry veteran, and the shipping king who were defeated by him successively... the two remaining kings of the dark world, the Queen of Happy Street and the Big News Bird, became his subordinates.
Coupled with this is the Golden Emperor, who is about to become the new king of the dark world...
Storm's current scale of power is roughly equivalent to the original BIGMOM Pirates. Plus the whole dark world!
This does not include the golden wealth in Shantora, the golden city on the "Sky Gaya Island" above the paradise in the first half of the Great Line!
With Storm's current power and territory, it can be said that it is more than enough to support a Vegapunk!
After hearing what Storm said, Vegapunk looked extremely shocked.
He is a scientist who doesn't hear anything outside the window and only wants to do research.
But even such a scientist knows what the BIGMOM Pirates represent!
"You..."
Vegapunk couldn't help but ask.
"You defeated BIGMOM?"
"It's not 'defeat', it's 'kill'."
Storm smiled and corrected.
"Charlotte Lingling is dead. If you want to see the evidence..."
Storm pulled aside casually, a space door opened, and he stretched out his hand to When I fished it out, I fished out the Emperor's Sword Broken Blade Napoleon.
The moment he saw this broken sword, Vegapunk immediately realized——
BIGMOM, one of the four emperors of the new world, has indeed been defeated!
An exclusive weapon is of great significance to pirates.
Just think about it.
If someone suddenly takes weapons such as [Ace], [Cong Yunqi], and [Hasai Jie], and the weapons are damaged, he goes to the navy and says that he defeated Roger and Whitebeard. , beasts...
Even if "you can't see a living person, you can't see a dead body", the credibility of this statement is still very high!
‘If White Dragon’s words are true…’
‘The power and wealth of the BIGMOM pirates, and the wealth of the Golden Emperor! ’
‘Then I want to follow Bailong’s suggestion, leave the World Government, and join this pirate...’
Vegapunk fell into deep hesitation.
To be honest, he was dissatisfied with many of the World Government's actions.
Just like Vegapunk is obviously a peace-loving scientist.
But the world government always wants him to research some weapons of mass destruction.
Vegapunk’s dream is to solve the energy problem of the entire ocean.
But in Punk Hassad, he couldn't even think about how to realize this dream...
If you were under the command of pirates...
You should become a little more "free"?
But Vegapunk and White Dragon are not familiar with each other.
Today is only the second meeting between the two parties.
Vegapunk was very worried that he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again.
"What if..."
Vegapunk was silent for a long time, but he hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not express his position directly, but changed his words.
"What do you think of the 'world'?"
"The world?"
Ström raised his eyebrows.
"Division, poverty, backwardness, ignorance, chaos. That's probably it."
The Red Continent and the Grand Route completely divided the world into several pieces.
The level of development varies among the islands, and poverty runs through the lives of the vast majority of ordinary people.
The development level of some islands is exactly that of the primitive era, and cannot be called "development" at all.
Not to mention ignorance and confusion.
In the era of great pirates, thousands of sails competed and hundreds of teams competed.
Countless people dream of becoming the Pirate King.
But the one who is destined to become the Pirate King is actually a destined god.
A world that only wants to wait for a savior, and a divine savior to solve all problems, is really sad.
Especially...
Can that divine savior really save the world?
Vegapunk also did not expect that Bailong's understanding of the sea would be so "unique". He took a deep look at the other party.
“So, your dream is to change the world?”
“No, my dream when I was a child was to be a king, the kind of dragon king who raises a large number of giant dragons.”
Storm shook his head and answered very seriously.
"As for changing the world? I don't have such a big dream.
"If I can, I just want to change the living environment around me.
“I always believe that science and technology are the primary productive forces.”
Speaking of this, Storm briefly described the world he lived in.
People live and work in peace and contentment, technology is booming, and everyone can enjoy the fun brought by technology.
In short, it is——
Modern society.
Storm was so excited that he used his [Clay Fruit] ability to create clay models one after another.
As small as refrigerators, air conditioners, televisions, telephones...
As large as cars, ships, planes, rockets...
Because the alternative product of "train" is already available on the sea - sea train.
So Storm did not give the example of a train. He just used the [Clay Fruit] to pinch a square mobile phone.
"If possible, I would like Dr. Vegapunk to help build one of these things - I call it a 'smartphone'."
God knows Storm has just arrived When we arrived at the sea, how long did it take to overcome the "mobile phone deficiency syndrome"?
Vegapunk reached out and took the white cube from Storm, looked at it carefully, and couldn’t see anything special...
"I roughly understand what you mean."
Vegapunk put away the clay cubes and looked at Storm seriously.
"Will you use technology in war?" Technological war?
Storm glanced at Begapunk strangely, and then he looked up at the sky.
"Dr. Vegapunk, everyone says that your knowledge and technology surpass the sea for five hundred years. What I want to ask is...can your technology lag behind the sea for eight hundred years?"
Eight hundred years ago , a huge kingdom standing proudly on the sea.
Many of Vegapunk's technologies are said to be "inventions", but are actually "archeology".
And many of his technologies are not as powerful as those of the ancients...
Li Liyuan Shangpu.
Normally, Vegapunk's intelligence is still online.
He clearly heard what the "eight hundred years" in Storm's words meant.
Science and technology eight hundred years ago!
Vegapunk shook his head.
"Probably not..."
Storm glanced at this "world's best mind" and continued to ask.
“So, can your technology, or the most powerful science and technology, be comparable to [King of Heaven], [Pluto] or [King of Neptune]?”
Three major ancient weapons .
[King of Heaven] and [Pluto] are the kind of beings who can destroy an island with one shot.
Not destroying the surface of the island.
Instead, completely destroy the island!
As for [Aquaman].
The ability to call upon all the sea kings in the sea can also be called a strategic weapon on this planet where the sea occupies an absolutely dominant position.
Vegapunk’s mouth twitched and he said helplessly.
“No.”
He has not yet understood ancient technology!
The three ancient weapons are the highest crystallization of ancient technology!
How can Vegapunk's current technological level compare to that of the ancient kingdom?
Storm’s last words were sent over.
“Then you are still worried about your technology being used in war?”
How to say it?
Ström feels that the so-called "war" on the sea is actually quite childish.
Of course.
Small wars between islands and countries do not count.
Storm just thinks that the so-called "war" between the real top forces is a piece of cake.
For example, when the Straw Hats sailed to Fish-Man Island.
Straw Hat Luffy used [Overlord Color Haki] and directly stunned the 50,000 soldiers of Fish-Man Island.
At that time, what level was Luffy’s [Overlord Color Haki] considered in the new world?
At most, it’s only on par with Doflamingo, right?
A strong man who is proficient in [Overlord Color Haki] can completely keep the war away from ordinary people.
The top level [Overlord Color Haki] can even directly stun powerful men of the level of Vice Admiral and King Shichibukai.
What kind of war is this?
In the final analysis.
On this sea.
The power of individuals transcends technology.
Unless Vegapunk's technological productivity has developed to the point where it can easily manufacture three ancient weapons.
Otherwise.
The influence of technology in the so-called "Pirate War" is still too weak.
Vegapunk was silent for a while.
“So, you won’t put your technological power into war?”
"Of course not!"
Storm shook his head and said directly.
“If it’s just a normal equipment upgrade, such as replacing cold weapons with hot weapons...of course I won’t stop it.
“But I won’t specifically ask you to produce anything large-scale. weapons of destruction.
“Of course, if Dr. Vegapunk tells me one day that you can create [King of Heaven Uranus], or you can create a [spaceship], please don’t hesitate. .”
"U-spaceship?"
Vegapunk stuttered a little.
He still hasn’t figured out what the “airplane” that Storm just mentioned was about.
Why have we jumped directly into the "spaceship" era now?
“Let’s talk about this later...”
Vegapunk touched the back of his neck and made a quick decision.
"Actually, I don't have a good impression of the World Government either... Then let's leave Punk Hassad together now!"
What Storm just said.
Vegapunk is most concerned about the "modern society" scene mentioned by the other party.
The scene was so real that it was as if Bailong had really lived in modern society...
As a scientist committed to peace, Vegapunk is very concerned about a society where everyone enjoys the fun of science and technology.
Leave aside these "dreams".
What impressed Vegapunk the most was... in fact, he had no choice.
White Dragon is known to have defeated BIGMOM.
On Punk Hassad Island, can anyone resist BIGMOM?
The answer is zero.
Vegapunk is unwilling to let Punk Hassad Island suffer meaningless destruction.
Then choosing "surrender" directly now is undoubtedly the best solution.
Anyway, even if the World Government pursues it later.
Vegapunk is not worried either.
This is what scientists are like who rely on knowledge and technology.
What's more, Vegapunk's scientific and technological productivity ranks first in the sea fault!
"Then welcome Dr. Vegapunk to join us!"
Storm smiled and stretched out his right hand, shook Vegapunk's hand, and then asked again.
“Doctor, there shouldn’t be any special research secrets hidden under Punk Hassad Island, right?”
"Down below?"
Vegapunk was slightly startled and looked at Storm inexplicably.
“I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
Storm raised his right hand and waved, and a blond figure slowly floated down from the blue-eyed white dragon.
“What I mean is, if there is any secret laboratory established under the island of Punk Hassad Island, or any other technological product, you’d better tell me in advance.
"Because, I want to take this island away directly!"
If Storm only kidnaps one Vegapunk.
Then when he returns to Totland of All Nations, he will need to spend a lot of time and energy to help Vegapunk re-establish a new research island.
This is such a waste!
As early as the moment when he decided to abduct Vegapunk.
Storm had already thought about it.
He is going to take Vegapunk and Punkhassad away with them and the island!
This is Storm’s real revenge plan!
Vegapunk subconsciously looked at the newly appeared blond figure.
Golden Lion II Lane.
The contemporary [Piao Piao Fruit] ability user!
