Just when Sakaski was about to set sail and return to his headquarters.
There is a remote island in the South China Sea. The island is covered with vegetation and seems to be uninhabited.
Under the island, there is actually a huge steel base. In the base, many staff members wearing white lab coats are walking around busily.
At this time, one of the researchers wearing black glasses, with a panic look on his face, hurried past the other staff and directly entered a laboratory at the core of the base.
"No, doctor, someone broke into the machine island."
the bespectacled researcher shouted into the laboratory.
"Oh, do you know who he is?"
The man who responded, wearing a pair of square-framed glasses and looking like he was in his early 20s, asked with a calm face. Looking at this man's face, you can feel any emotional changes in this man.
"We have observed here that it seems to be a World Government ship. Doctor, what should we do?"
"Oh, please arrange to collect all the experimental materials."
After hearing the news, the man in the laboratory replied calmly, as if the news he heard was that an ant had invaded the base, without any wavering.
"Doctor, why are you collecting information? What about the people who invade the island?"
"It's okay, don't worry about them."
at this time.
boom--
There was an explosion. It seemed like someone outside had bombed their underground base with powerful firepower, and the entire base shook slightly.
"Yo~"
"I found you, Dr. Vegapunk~"
Just after the explosion, the door to the laboratory was opened, and a tall man over three meters tall, wearing a yellow striped shirt and a navy justice coat stood at the door.
The tall man raised the small yellow round sunglasses on his face with his fingers, and his eyes were firmly locked on the expressionless man just now.
"Here he comes."
The man named Bega Punk said softly. No matter the explosion or the sudden appearance of the tall navy, he did not have any mood swings. It seemed that this man had foreseen everything that was happening now.
"Doctor, please leave quickly, I will stop him!!"
Another researcher who came to inform was not as calm as Vegapunk. He opened his hands excitedly and blocked the middle of the two people, shouting loudly for Vegapunk to escape first.
"Oh~ Do you want to stop me? It's so scary~"
The navy at least said he was afraid, but there was no fear on his face. He stretched out a finger and pointed it at the researcher in the middle, and the fingertips began to flash with golden light.
"Is this a Shining Fruit? It's a rare natural devil fruit."
Dr. Vegapunk, who had always been calm before, showed an expression of interest for the first time, his eyes fixed on the marine's movements.
"Oh? You know about the Shining Fruit, so are you going to resist?"
Porusalino maintained his posture, his eyes fixed on his target, Dr. Vegapunk. Yes, this tall navy man was none other than Kizaru Polusalino, who had been sailing in the South China Sea for a year.
The goal of him and the CP agent who stayed with him was to find the doctor in front of him. It was not until recently that some information was discovered in the South China Sea. From the purchase information of some high-level scientific research objects, he found clues to the machine island. Following these clues, he finally found this islands.
As a result, Porusalino's military rank is still that of colonel, but after the world government's highest-level mission is completed this time, it may not still be at this military rank.
"Aren't you going to take me away? Then let's go."
Vegapunk ignored Porusalino's threat. He had no intention of resisting in the first place, so he stepped forward directly and patted the researcher in front of him.
"PhD?"
The researcher turned to look at the doctor behind him, with a look of doubt on his face. He didn't understand what the doctor meant. Shouldn't he be preparing to retreat now?
"Let's go, arrange other personnel, and collect all the information. We have to move to another place to work."
The researcher finally understood Dr. Vegapunk's thoughts, which was to surrender directly and not to resist.
Looking at Vegapunk's calm eyes, he confirmed that this order was serious. Since the leader of the base had arranged it this way, he could only nod helplessly.
I had no choice but to follow the doctor's instructions, glanced at the navy standing at the door, and walked straight over.
"Oh, I'm not going to resist, it's really easy~"
Withdrawing the laser that was ready to be fired at any time, Porusalino stepped aside and allowed the researcher to walk out. During this time, his eyes did not leave Vegapunk for a second.
Although the other party gave up resistance, during this search mission, he learned that the ordinary-looking man in front of him had amazing wisdom.
Even the World Government was tempted, and directly issued the highest-level mission order, and the doctor must be brought back to the World Government alive at all costs.
For a person of this level, Porusalino was not careless at all, and his actual actions were not as casual as he said. He didn't know whether this doctor had amazing follow-up methods.
The researcher passed by Porusalino and walked out of the laboratory, looking behind him with worried eyes.
As one of the important researchers at the base, he knew very well how amazing the research content here was, and he also knew that once the world government knew about these contents, they would never let them leave.
Now, following the doctor's order, these people will definitely be taken away by the people of the World Government along with the doctor. Worrying about the future of this group of people, he thought that maybe the final result would be to be silenced by the world government.
"well--"
Sighing, it was useless to think too much now. He could only follow the doctor's orders and pray that the lives of researchers like them would be better in the future.
Porusalino didn't care about the researcher's departure. For him, the doctor in front of him was the most important thing.
Fortunately, Vegapunk had no intention of resisting. Instead, in front of Porusalino, he found a chair in the laboratory and sat down, taking a document from the table and looking through it.
The scene suddenly became harmonious, and Porusalino was a little surprised. This operation went more smoothly than he imagined. He thought there would be a fierce battle.
“It was really smooth~”
"Mr. Navy, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. I am very interested in your Shining Fruit ability."
Vegapunk looked at the information in his hand and suddenly made a request to Porusalino.
"Do you want to study my abilities? Scientists are really scary~"
Porusalino couldn't understand the doctor's thoughts. He raised his glasses and thought for a while but couldn't find the question in his words. It seemed that the doctor really just made a simple request for cooperation.
At this time, there was a noise from the base, and it seemed that someone else had entered the base.
"Colonel Kizaru, have you found Vegapunk here?"
Outside the laboratory, there was a dull voice of questioning.
