La Kiru asked: "Boss, where are we going?"
"Egghead."
"Egghead?" Ben Beckman frowned: "Isn't that an island directly under the jurisdiction of the World Government?"
"Yeah." Shanks didn't explain too much, and the other members of the red-haired pirate group didn't ask any more questions.
After defeating the Wang Zhi Pirates, the Red-haired Pirates quickly cleared away the nearby pirates, occupied the island where Wang Zhi originally occupied, and immediately led their members to the coordinates given by Wulaoxing.
"The best martial arts tournament in the world is about to end..." Shanks said to himself: "We have to heal your injuries before the martial arts tournament ends."
Ben Beckman bit his cigarette butt: "Shanks, do you think Eric will launch a general attack on us immediately after the martial arts meet?"
"That's right." Shanks nodded.
Ben Beckman raised his bare right wrist. The smooth cut surface had been restored, but the palm was missing. Shanks followed Ben Beckman's gaze and fell on it, silent.
Jesus Bu at the watchtower shouted: "The island can be seen!"
Other members on the deck quickly ran to the bow of the ship and looked ahead. There was a huge egg-shaped building in the center of the island.
Ben Beckman couldn't help but ask: "What's here?"
"The World Government's Research Institute, where Vegapunk works."
"Vegapunk!? That scientist who is five hundred years ahead of mankind?" Everyone was extremely surprised.
"Yes." Shanks nodded and said, "The Navy's Special Science Force is here."
"..." Everyone looked at Shanks up and down, as if they were getting to know him again.
"Shanks, what on earth are you..." Ben Beckman knew that Shanks had secrets hidden in him, but he didn't expect that he would be qualified to meet someone closely protected by the World Government.
"Wow!" Several giant mechanical sea beasts suddenly appeared on the sea surface around the Red Voss, baring their teeth and threatening the red-haired pirates.
A radio rang: "Who is it?"
Shanks shouted back: "I'm Shanks who made an appointment before."
"What does the newly appointed Yonko do? This is the territory of the World Government."
"..." Shanks kept his head raised, and the other party seemed to have given up: "Okay, I have received a report and asked you and a few of your companions to log in, just a few people!"
"No problem!" Shanks replied, turning to several people: "Let's go!"
Several people followed Shanks onto Egghead, while the other members stayed behind.
"Is it really okay?" Bendik Snake looked back at the Red Foss: "If they sink our ship, then our retreat..."
"It's okay, it's okay~" Shanks led from the front: "The World Government still needs us to contain the Dawn Pirates, and they won't attack us easily."
"I think so too." Ben Beckman also agreed with Shanks' idea. Seeing the vice-captain say this, several other officers felt relieved.
The red-haired pirates entered the city, and the futuristic buildings opened their eyes to the group.
"...Is this what it will be like in the next five hundred years? It's really surprising."
A huge man wearing a red bellyband and carrying a giant ax appeared in front of everyone.
"Really, this is a secret research institute for naval research and development, but pirates are allowed in... What on earth is the World Government thinking!?"
"Hey——!" Shanks greeted him familiarly: "Are you the one who came to greet us? What's your name?"
"No matter how you ask, it's useless. I won't tell you anything. I'm the most tight-lipped man."
"..."
"Follow me and I will take you to the doctor who will treat you. Also, please do not destroy buildings and objects on the street."
The red-haired pirates quietly followed Zhan Momomaru to the medical center.
Shanks was not discouraged and chatted with Zhan Momomaru along the way, and soon learned his name from Zhan Momomaru.
"We're here." Zhan Taowan opened the door: "Who will be the first to enter?"
The members of the red-haired pirate group looked at each other. Ben Beckman raised his arm and said, "I'm the first."
"Leave the weapon outside the door and come in with me." Zhan Taowan still carried the giant axe, but asked Ben Beckman to leave the weapon.
Ben Beckman shrugged, followed the rules set by Zhan Taowan, and obediently followed him into the door. In the operating room, he saw a man with an apple on his head.
Ben Beckman smiled: "I didn't expect to meet the legendary scientist, Bega Punk. It's such an honor."
Vegapunk, who was waiting in front of the operating table, turned around and pointed at the operating table: "Lie down."
Ben Beckman obeyed the instructions and lay down on it. Vegapunk attached a bunch of wires to him and drew blood.
Ben Beckman asked with confusion: "This is it?"
"Test the blood first to avoid rejection." Vegapunk stuck out his long tongue and said, "I will install a robot hand on you."
"Sorry to trouble you." Ben Beckman, who still had doubts in his heart, still maintained sufficient vigilance.
…
"Dear viewers at the scene and in front of the TV, the much-anticipated finals of the World's No. 1 Budokai are about to begin!" Tezzolo fully mobilized the atmosphere of the scene and made the entire venue extremely lively.
"The world's greatest swordsman, the Shichibukai's 'Hawkeye' Joracol Mihawk, faces off against the Dawn Pirates' 'Queen of Shadows' Scathach!"
The two finalists entered the ring, causing countless spectators to scream and cheer.
"Damn it -" Cavendish's bandaged right leg was hung up high, his teeth biting the quilt unwillingly. He imagined that he would participate in the finals and win the final. At that moment, how popular would he be? ! ?
"Which is the final winner, Hawkeye or the Queen of Shadows? Please let us wait and see!"
After the final gong sounded, Tezzolo walked off the stage and came to Eric's VIP room without stopping.
Eric, who was sitting on the boss's chair, smiled and said, "Tezolo, you're hosting well."
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Eric." Tezzolo said, stroking his chest and bending down: "I just received a mandatory muster order from the Navy Headquarters."
"Oh?" Eric was stunned and asked with a smile, "Did you talk about anything above?"
"No, but this time, the Navy Headquarters takes it very seriously." Tezzoro said in a serious tone: "If I don't go to the Navy Headquarters to gather, I will be deprived of the title of Shichibukai."
"...I understand. You can gather at the Navy Headquarters." Eric pursed his lips.
"Yes." Tezzolo didn't ask any questions and strictly followed Eric's orders.
'It seems that Ace has been captured by Blackbeard and handed over to the Navy Headquarters, and this news has been blocked by the World Government...'
…
On the ring, Scathach said calmly: "I haven't seen him for about six years."
"Yes." Mihawk took off the black knife on his back: "Ever since that duel six years ago, I have been looking forward to fighting you again."
Scathach casually held a gun in his hand, the sharp red tip of the gun pointing diagonally at the ground.
Mihawk clenched the handle of the knife with both hands and assumed an offensive stance. This was the only time he was serious in this martial arts tournament.
"..." Whether at the scene or in front of the TV, all the audience held their breath and watched the battle with high spirits.
"Dang——!" When the gong sounded to start the game, the two men attacked each other at the same time.
Mihawk raised the black sword Night high, and made a clean cut with his sword. It seemed like a simple and unpretentious slash in the air, but amidst the roar of tigers and dragons, a wide and huge slash wave shot out, along the He landed on the ground and slashed at Scathach, who was charging towards him.
"Ha!" With a slight scolding, Scathach's man and gun merged into one, and the speed of the explosion was beyond imagination, turning into a red thunder and heading straight towards the slashing wave.
"boom--"
The red thunder hit the slashing wave, and the two were locked in a stalemate for less than half a second. The entire broad slashing wave was broken into two pieces by Scathach, who was a man and a gun, and the broken sword energy splashed down like fragments.
Scathach's speed continued unabated, and the red lightning refracted on the ground and rushed towards Mihawk.
Eyes as sharp as an eagle stared at Scathach's movement, and he raised his knife to face the incoming Scathach.
"clang!"
The moment the swords and guns collided, sparks flew out, and Scathach emerged from the red thunder. The powerful force was transmitted along the blade of Black Blade Night to Mihawk's palm. It was like the power of a mountain pushing across, making Mihawk The tense feet moved backwards on the ring.
The ground shattered, and the black boots that dug into the ground plowed two parallel ravines.
Scathach freed up his left hand and held it with five fingers. Another identical red magic gun appeared out of thin air.
Mihawk, who had already noticed Scathach's movements, turned his arms and wrists, and Black Blade Night's blade deflected accordingly, blocking the second magic spear thrust by Scathach.
Mihawk, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and the back of the knife with the other, fought hard. While repelling Scathach, he slashed horizontally. There seemed to be a buzz in the air, and a horizontal slash wave broke through the air and struck Scathach.
"clang!"
Scathach raised his gun and lifted Mihawk's sword energy away. The sword energy was forced to change its flight path and flew into the sky. The entire white cloud floating in the sky was cut into two pieces by this sword energy.
"This kind of battle is meaningful." The fighting spirit in Mihawk's eyes became stronger.
"boom!"
Scathach stepped forward with his dark purple steel boots. The ground cracked and sand and gravel flew. In the blink of an eye, the purple figure rushed in front of Mihawk. The magic gun clenched in the palm of his hand turned into a red edge and shot directly towards Mihawk. chest.
Mihawk's pupils shrank, and he blocked the tip of the red thunder spear with his sword. At the same time, he raised his hand with his backhand. If the sword was serious, Scathach would be cut in half by Mihawk on the spot.
Scathach's body shifted, her left hand reached down, and the magic gun that appeared out of thin air blocked the counterattacking black knife. She immediately danced the magic gun that was blocked by Mihawk, and the sharp gun blade moved sideways, heading straight towards Mihawk. neck.
Mihawk caught sight of it from the corner of his eye and quickly lowered his head to avoid it. However, a piece of white fluff on the back of the black top hat was chopped off by the gun blade, and the small pieces of fluff separated from the large army were flying in the wind.
Some people died, but not completely...
