Just when Ji Xing and others arrived at Lovedru, what happened on Cake Island gradually spread and spread.
The news that the strongest man in the world boarded the territory of the Big Mom Pirates alone, fought with Big Mom and her children, and killed Big Mom, was like a bomb, spreading quickly throughout the new world, and Expand to farther seas!
Pirates and ordinary people are used to it.
The world's most powerful man never makes a move, but when he does, he will shock the world. He killed the White Lion with one sword in the Battle of Fame, defeated two pirate emperors one against two in the Battle of Gods, and now kills Big Mom. Let’s just call it unremarkable.
The pirates were more interested in the four emperors turning into three emperors and then two emperors, whether there was any territory to occupy, and whether there was any profit. A few knowledgeable people were worried about the imbalance of power between the navy and the pirates.
Ordinary people rejoiced and even hoped that Holo would kill the other two emperors.
And in the meantime, another piece of news suddenly spread - Holo went to the world to kill Big Mom not for revenge three years ago, but to snatch Big Mom's road sign and historical text!
He is going to get the big secret treasure, one piece!
As soon as the rumor came out, it immediately caused a storm in the pirate world. Holo, who can defeat two pirate emperors alone, takes action. Who can stop him? Could it be that the battle for the One Piece treasure that has lasted for 22 years is about to end, and that the great secret treasure will fall into the hands of Holo, who is not even the strongest pirate in the world?
This news touched the hearts of many people.
Wulaoxing almost exploded with anger.
…
"Damn! The news has spread like this. It seems we can't suppress the impact of this incident as much as possible!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect those guys from the Big Mom Pirates to take the initiative to spread this kind of news and let it spread instantly in the underground world. We can control Morgans, but those other lawless bastards won't listen to us."
"It's too late for Stussy to get the news."
"At this point, we can only publicly admit this matter and issue a wanted notice for Holo and Hawkeye!"
"Wait a minute -" the bald-headed and sword-wielding Saint Tekotempu looked around and said, "What kind of crime are we going to put a reward on for him?"
"of course……"
"Huh? A crime?"
The five old stars were startled and looked at each other.
Yeah, what's the crime?
He did not fly the pirate flag or carry out any plundering operations. In the eyes of the world, Holo was just a treasure hunter, going to Rafdru to find the treasure left by the legendary Pirate King.
Is it illegal to go treasure hunting in Borderlands?
Don't do it! The World Government fights against pirates because they are pirates, not because their target is Raph Drew!
Even if the root cause is indeed true, this is something that cannot be admitted. They cannot tell everyone that Rafdru has seen something that the World Government does not want everyone to know.
There is no problem in forcibly treating Holo as a wanted pirate, but compared with the negative factors it may bring, there seems to be no need to issue a wanted order that will not hurt him even a hair?
"The most important thing is not to let the world know that someone has climbed to the top of the Void Throne. We must be cautious about any actions that may reveal the existence of Lord Yin Mu."
The World Government has a Void Throne, which was established when it was founded. No one exists on it, which means that all participating countries jointly govern the world.
But in fact, the Void Throne has never been vacant, and the World Government has always been in a state of 'dictatorship'. Only when this news is leaked will the World Government's bones be hurt, and the participating countries will attack it, and maybe the world's order will be re-established.
"The historical text of Raff Drew should record the existence of Master Yinmu, but back then...even that Qiao Yin Boyin didn't know the fact that Master Yinmu was still alive, right?"
"Although Master Yinmu has clearly ordered us to extinguish Holo's lights, we still have to be cautious in the process. The disaster caused by Pirate King Gol D. Roger must never happen again."
"Perhaps we can do the opposite, thank Holo for ending the era of great pirates, take away the treasure left by the Pirate King, confuse him, and make him relax his vigilance?" Saint Goribajo suggested.
The other four looked at him silently.
Saint Goribachi hesitated, knowing that would be a bit stupid, and coughed lightly: "We still have to wait until he comes out of that sea area, and take targeted action!"
This has been a long time to wait.
Rayleigh, who was living in seclusion on the Shampoo Islands, went to find Red Hair, and then they sailed into the unknown sea together.
King Neptune of the Dragon Palace Kingdom also went to meet his old friend Whitebeard, and I don’t know what they talked about.
Even the great pirate king who occupied Skull Island, Rocks' former territory, walked out of the island and met with Ba Jin, who was carrying his silly son, and the legendary pirate Golden Lion, who had broken both legs.
The whole world was affected by the news that Holo was looking for Rafdru, but the people involved did not show up for a long time, making the Five Old Stars a little anxious.
Where did it go? Buried under the sea? !
It was not until nearly two months later that they finally discovered Ji Xing again.
"Lord Wulaoxing! An emergency signal for help has been sent from Dantou Island, and Holo appears in that sea area!"
"Egghead Island?! Where are the others?!"
"No one else has been found yet!"
"He actually went there, could it be...notify the navy to take action immediately!"
…
Crash--
Amidst the sound of the sea rushing against the rocks, a huge sea beast with a length of several hundred meters and sharp teeth was swimming towards the island ahead.
In the rolling waves, it swam very smoothly, trying hard to keep the well-proportioned and well-proportioned man standing on it, who was wearing white robes and black clothes and about two and a half meters tall, from swaying.
It wasn't until he got close to the island that the man leaned over and touched its head gently. Then he jumped onto the island. The huge strange fish showed a flattering smile, nodded and splashed in the water, then turned around and never looked back.
Ji Xing stretched his muscles and turned his head to look at the small island that looked like a big head.
Egghead Island, the island of the future, is home to the Vegapunk Institute, the world's smartest man who claims to have led the world's technology for 500 years!
Bonnie had come here with Big Bear when she was a child, but at that time she didn't know that her father was going to be transformed into a robot.
After Ji Xing got the information recorded by Rafdru and left the final island, he did a lot of things. One of them was to find Bonnie and confirm the location of Egg Head Island with her.
It's time to meet Vegapunk.
"It doesn't seem like I'm welcome."
Just after taking a few steps towards the research institute, a group of 'big bears' rushed out of the research institute.
That's 'Pacifist', a joint production based on the Big Bear and Kizaru blood factors.
Possessing the power to 'bring peace'!
"Intruder...kill!"
The mechanical voice revealed, they opened their mouths, golden light condensed in them, and then beams of laser cannons blasted towards Ji Xing!
The power was not weak, and the blasted debris flew into the sky, and cracks were created in the ground.
And then that was it.
Ji Xing passed through them as if teleporting, and their bodies flashed with arcs of collapse, burning their CPUs.
When Ji Xing was about to arrive in front of the research institute, the opponent who came to stop him finally made Ji Xing show a strange look.
It was a muscular... boy about two meters tall, with double horns on his head and a long beard like a dragon's beard on his mouth. He was holding a mace, and there were flames wrapped around it when he waved it!
Ji Xing's sword was not unsheathed, and he held it in front of him. Amidst the roaring and explosions, centered on the place where the two collided, the earth surged and overturned!
"The power of an imperial deputy." Ji Xing looked at the boy in front of him: "Little Kaido, you are a half-finished product. You can't replicate the power of the fruit, so you have all the bloodline factors integrated into your body?"
Bang - The hilt of the knife struck hard, and Kaido shot backwards. At the same time, a man who looked like Kintaro, wearing a bellyband and carrying an ax rushed out of the research institute, followed by two more Two small figures, Xiao Jin and Xiao Quinn.
The Little Beast Pirates have assembled!
"The world's strongest man, Holo?" The man with the ax said loudly: "I am Zhan Momomaru, the captain of the scientific force of the Navy Headquarters, and the bodyguard of Mr. Vegapunk! You haven't received permission from the World Government. You can't do it anymore. Move forward, otherwise don’t blame us for killing you on the spot!”
Ji Xing was silent for three seconds.
"What are you thinking about? Don't try to get something out of me! I have the toughest tongue in the world..."
Buzz——
The dark radiance expanded, and the light within a hundred meters radius was distorted by invisible forces. Whether it was Zhan Taomaru or Xiao Baishou, they only felt like bombs were reverberating and exploding in their minds, and they fell together as the rumble cracked the ground. !
"What's going on? Is it true that I am the strongest in the world?" Ji Xing shook his head and walked past.
The world of pirates is always like this. After Fairy Tail became the God of Magic, no one dared to yell in front of him. However, there are endless pirates in the world of pirates. Each one looks like a psychopath, and I don’t know where the confidence comes from.
Kidd is still there repairing the island.
This is even worse, you want to kill me?
Walking into the institute with a sigh, the metal walls full of futuristic feeling immediately came into view. The hall in front of me looked like a space capsule of a spaceship, and the arc-shaped door was full of science fiction colors.
"Open the door!" Ji Xing shouted.
Then the door opened.
An orange-haired girl wearing clothes with '02' printed on them appeared from behind the door. She looked somewhat similar to Nami. She crossed her arms and said with a look at Ji Xing: "I am employed by the world. Government scientist Vegapunk doesn't know what the world's strongest man is trying to do here.
Lao Chan heard that you have found the treasure of the Pirate King, is it... that you want to fund Lao Chan's research? How much research funding can you provide? "
Feeling that there was not enough time, Vegapunk divided himself into six. Each of the six clones took care of a stall. Some were responsible for research, some were responsible for eating, and some were responsible for excretion...
The person in front of me is Evil No. 02, Lilith.
It is natural that she is not normal, so Ji Xing took advantage of the situation and said: "We will talk about the funding later. I have to see what you are researching before I can decide. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Lilith smiled like a fat sheep: "Come with me."
In fact, the headphones she was wearing could already hear explanations from other Vegapunks, making her understand better what character she was facing.
But the order coming from No. 1 was just to play dumb and cooperate.
The island has a lot of protective power. Generally, pirates who land on the island at will will only be destroyed, but facing Ji Xing, the protective power is like a paper lake.
Even if there is a hidden secret hand, Vegapunk knows that they are determined not to stop Ji Xing.
Soon, after walking through a long corridor, Ji Xing saw two familiar metal giants. Lilith also introduced: "They are the two mechanical soldiers who followed the blasphemers to the Holy Land Mariejoia three years ago. A product of 900 years ago. There was originally one on the island, but that one had long since decayed. After getting them, the old man threw them away.
The progress of replicating them is average, mainly due to lack of energy. The energy that drives them is very unique. Unfortunately, when they are destroyed, the energy spontaneously burns out, and there is no sample reference. "
As she said that, she glanced at Ji Xing and said: "Yes, although Dantou Island is called the island of the future, in fact, it is the island of the past! Lao Ruo claims to be 500 years ahead of this era, but he is only pursuing 900 The technological level of that country two years ago is still far behind."
"No need to test me." Ji Xing said with a smile: "I went to Rafdru. I read the historical text. I know the huge kingdom that was established 1100 years ago and originated from the moon people."
"1100 years ago? The specific Lao Cheng is not that clear yet." Lilith clasped her hands in deep thought, and then quickly added: "Of course, although it is not as good as the technology of that huge kingdom, Lao Cheng's research is indeed ahead of this one. Times, if you entrust your funds to me, you will never lose money!”
She took Ji Xing to another research room and said: "This is an island air conditioner. It can control the temperature and climate of the entire island at will, creating rainfall, hurricanes, thunder and lightning... It's a pity that it costs too much, and was banned by the world government. Stop shouting."
"And here, we study the Seraphs, the ones you saw at the door..."
One piece at a time, all the same.
There are indeed many technological creations that sound like science fiction, which arouse Ji Xing's interest in learning.
Vegapunk is a person with the brain-brain fruit ability. He has amazing memory and nearly infinite brain capacity, and has mastered almost all knowledge in the world.
For Ji Xing, who has a powerful soul, his scientific research ability is secondary, and the knowledge he masters is the first priority!
Listening to Lilith's sales pitch introducing scientific research content all the way, when she reached the depths of the research institute, she performed dual face and fingerprint identification, opening an upward spiral staircase.
"Let's go up to the second floor with the old man and have a look."
Ji Xing looked down and said, "There seem to be a few acquaintances of mine down here."
Lilith looked surprised: "You can also feel this? It is a material specially made by Lao Cheng to isolate the visual and auditory color. It is also mixed with sea floor stone. Are you...intuitive, or the visual and auditory color..."
"Seeing and hearing color." Ji Xing said: "Compared to my seeing and hearing color, its intensity is slightly weaker."
"The tester is Admiral Kizaru..." Lilith murmured: "He can barely penetrate the slightest bit, but you can completely penetrate?"
"Kizaru is the weakest among the three generals. It's not surprising." Ji Xing thought for a while and said, "You're already here, take me down to see him."
"Well... I heard that you caught him. It doesn't matter if you take a look, but aren't you in a hurry?"
"Why should I be in a hurry?" Ji Xing was startled and suddenly said, "Oh, if I don't rush, it'll be fine."
…
"Aqiu~!"
On the other side, Kizaru, wearing a cloak of justice, stood on the bow of a warship that was sailing away from the navy headquarters, yawned, rubbed his nose and said.
"It's so scary~ I just set out, and when I think about facing the strongest person in the world, I feel chills running through my body~"
Akainu, who was wearing a navy hat and had a stern face next to him, crossed his arms and hummed: "It's him who should be feeling chilly. He has been hiding for almost two months, made us wait for almost two months, and he finally appears!"
"Ah la la -" On the other side, Aoki stretched his waist lazily: "Don't look like you are always ready to take action, Akainu. Don't forget, the marshal's order is to negotiate first to find out whether he We landed at Ravdru, what’s the purpose?”
He looked back and said: "Speaking of which, Grandma He, it's very reassuring to have you do the negotiating work, but if, I mean, if things go bad, you have to leave quickly, in case you get hurt. It’s hard for us to explain when it comes to you.”
The old lady holding a phone bug behind her rolled her eyelids: "I'm not too old to move yet, Aokiji, did you learn this tone from Garp? Learn something good."
"Ah haha——" Qing Zhi turned around with a smile, but there was a hint of heaviness in his eyes.
"Okay, you young people are willing to continue blowing the sea breeze, just blow it here." Lieutenant General He turned around and said: "Even if we take the windless zone, we still need to take close to a day's voyage. Will that kid Holo still be there by then?" It’s hard to talk about Dantou Island, so don’t be too nervous.”
Akainu hummed.
The other two didn't answer.
As the warship moved, no one said a word.
The sailors controlling the warship looked at the people standing on the deck and could hardly breathe!
General Kizaru is on the left!
General Qing Pheasant is on the right!
General Akainu is in the center!
Such a lineup is unprecedented!
