dressrosa,
King's Heights.
"I said, do you really want to find Trafalgar Law? That guy is not an easy character to get along with!" A blond woman wearing glasses, who looked elegant but had an extremely hot figure said.
Of course, she was just complaining.
"The other party is the key to perfectly handling the BIGMOM Pirates' problems."
"In addition to the immortality surgery, the ability to exchange minds is something that even the high-ranking Celestial Dragons are covetous of."
"It's a pity that there are too few truly talented doctors, and Trafalgar Law's strength cannot be underestimated!"
In the middle of the three people, a man wearing a lion mask explained.
'How great it would be if I had the power of the fruits of surgery! '
'This way we can negotiate with those people and avenge the sacrifice of Senior Alves. '
I thought silently in my heart.
His name is Ignatz!
Animal type, ancient species, Menea giant lion form ability user.
According to legend, the giant lion of Menea is a monster born of a giant and a giant snake. Some people also say that it fell from the moon.
He has a gentle personality, but once he transforms into a beast form, he becomes extremely ferocious and cruel!
The reason why Ignatz is like this is because when he was ordered to intercept the Beast Pirates, Alves, his mentor and friend, died in that battle.
Although Kaido was the one who killed Alves, Ignatz hated Avis and Kizaru the most!
'Demon Flower' Ives, as CP0 and an important combat force in that war, openly betrayed the World Government and launched a sneak attack, almost killing him.
And Kizaru...
That guy wasn't much better.
As a naval admiral, seeing that the situation was not good, he actually left them and ran away alone!
If Alves hadn't risked his life to buy him some time, he would have been buried in the sea long ago.
Therefore, when there was a surging undercurrent within CP0 and there was a faint tendency to split, he did not hesitate to seek refuge with Stussi!
"coming!"
at this time,
The palace door suddenly opened, and the officers of the Heart Pirates walked slowly over surrounded by Luo.
tread! tread! tread!
The steps were a bit messy and had nothing to do with neatness. The other party walked leisurely like this, but it gave several people an unparalleled sense of oppression.
There is an illusion of facing the abyss!
"This is Trafalgar Rowe, who is said to be the strongest among His Majesty. He is so powerful and well-deserved."
"Not only that, the cadres behind him are also amazing."
"'Aurora' Christopher, 'Blade' Cozmo, 'Jackal Brothers' Aaron, Abel, 'Bomber' Karli, 'Arsonist' Moby, etc."
"Especially the deputy captain, Edward Weibull, is like a volcano that is ready to erupt at any time. He is simply a humanoid monster!"
"Tsk tsk, isn't this a matter of course? Maybe they will be the new Yonko Pirates soon!"
Several people were talking as they came over to greet him.
It is true that their own strength is not as good as the Heart Pirates, but standing behind them is the World Government and the most powerful combination that created the World Government!
…
opposite,
"Hahahaha, there are three CP0 level people here. It seems that even the world government has to recognize us!"
"Nonsense, dozens of kingdoms have already announced their separation from the World Government. At this time, they will not be stupid enough to make enemies on all sides."
"Are you going to kill them? Brother?"
"Too loud, Vice Captain! Such matters should be discussed quietly."
After hearing Weibull's words, a burly man with a build not much worse than Weibull quickly put his hand to his mouth and warned in a low voice.
However,
He seemed completely unaware that his voice was louder than Weibull's.
In addition to making a decent gesture of whispering, his voice was as strong as usual, like thunder.
'Heavy Cannon' Belosim, the helmsman of the Heart Pirates, has a bounty of 436 million Baileys, and the user with the 'Roaring' fruit ability can amplify the sound a hundred times!
In this regard,
The people of the Heart Pirates are used to it.
"Speaking of which, the captain served as King of the Shichibukai for a while, and now the World Government has come to visit. Is this an old relationship rekindled?"
"Carley, your joke is not funny at all, be careful Captain to tear your mouth open."
"Don't be so scary, you damn arsonist, you set fire to my manor yesterday, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
'Bomber' Karli has a bounty of 132 million Baileys!
'Arsonist' Moby has a reward of 124 million Baileys!
The two are at the bottom among the leaders of the Heart Pirates, but they have a strong sense of presence because of their high-profile personalities.
…
"Huh~"
At the front of the crowd, Luo shook his head helplessly.
These guys are good at everything, meticulous about his orders, and very dedicated when performing tasks.
The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that he didn't know if he had been pushing the city gate for too long, and everyone was talking badly!
"Whoosh~"
next moment,
On the left side of Luo's body, an arc-shaped beam of light flashed, and a man with long green hair suddenly appeared above the heads of the three CP0s.
"Such speed!!!" Ignatz's eyelids twitched, slightly shocked.
Even he couldn't react for a moment. If he was in a battle, it would be extremely fatal.
"Stop!"
With his long hair swaying in the wind, Christopher said two words with an indifferent expression.
When the Heart Pirates advance, even the World Government has to give way, let alone a mere CP0.
This is their rule!
'Aurora' Christopher, the helmsman of the Heart Pirates, has a bounty of 875 million Baileys. He is a user with the 'Aurora' fruit ability. His personal strength is extremely outstanding, and his speed is comparable to Kizaru.
Um? ! !
Ignatz and the other two CP0s looked at each other, their eyes flickering, and then stopped as they were told.
After all, this is the opponent's base camp!
"Humph, you're quite sensible."
Bang!
There was a clang of gold and iron,
The long sword returns to its sheath.
I saw that Cozmo had arrived at the side of several people at some point. Seeing that they did not act rashly, he immediately put down his weapon.
'Ferocious Blade' Cozmo, the swordsman of the Heart Pirates, has a bounty of 624 million Baileys.
He has an extremely cruel personality. Everyone he kills has dense holes in his body. The death is extremely miserable and terrifying!
Like Christopher, the two were originally felons on the sixth floor of Impel Down City, with extraordinary strength.
"He is worthy of being called Trafalgar Law's right-hand man. I was so scared just now!"
"Hmph! If you're afraid, I can send you on your way for free."
"A rough man, he really doesn't understand anything about love and affection!"
"On the contrary, it only shows that you are not pretty enough."
Cosmo looked sarcastic.
As a normal man, he does like beautiful women, but he will not like a CP agent. That means taking the initiative to step into hell.
Life is long and there are so many wonderful things worth pursuing!
and,
He didn't think the other party would be really scared.
"All the cadres are here."
Ignatz had a bad premonition and said solemnly: "It's too grand. You know, we didn't say the purpose of this trip."
Once bitten, twice shy.
After that time, Ignatz was very cautious about any missions related to big figures among pirates!
Being moody and turning against others is the norm for pirates.
With Luo's strength far surpassing theirs, the ability to exchange minds is so incomprehensible that it is simply a super weapon for planting spies!
Care must be taken.
"O God of heaven, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth, and may you absolve me of all my sins, and save me from my suffering."
"Survival, power, and glory belong to me forever!"
I saw a man dressed in red, with a cross hanging around his neck and dressed as a priest, looking at a few people with pity.
As if feeling sad for what happened to them.
'Evil Father' Leander, the navigator of the Heart Pirates, has a bounty of 277 million Baileys. He is a theist and stubbornly believes that the only way to talk to God is to sacrifice the lives of others!
at the same time,
It can be heard from his prayers that he is an ultimate egoist.
"It's really unlucky. He seems to be keeping the hearts harvested by Trafalgar Law!"
Among CP0, the last long-hand clan with three-segmented arms couldn't help but spit.
According to their intelligence, Leandre sacrificed the lives of his parents when he was very young, and before going to sea, he even sacrificed his hometown village!
"The future is far away and the reality is cruel. If you can't find the meaning and direction of life."
"Then..."
"Give your heart to the Lord!"
Leander stretched out his hands with compassion on his face, as if he was a messenger trying his best to save a lost lamb.
As God's only spokesperson in the world, those who are unwilling to 'atone' from Him are all heretics.
And his dream,
It is a sacrifice to the Four Emperors and all the Celestial Dragons!
If the Heart Pirates were still lacking in the past, not long ago, they witnessed Luo's soaring aura.
The thunder that appeared out of thin air and the flames that seemed to burn everything in the world were beyond everyone's imagination!
This is the power obtained by sacrificing the Fur Tribe and Lunaria Tribe.
That's right,
Although the flames on Jhin's body were extinguished, his strong vitality and racial talent still left him with his last breath.
Kaido and Yamato's joint attack not only destroyed General Franky, but also took the opportunity to open the air door and quietly sent Jhin to Luo's side!
Yonko?
Ridiculous.
The moment they saw Luo's true strength, their target was already the Pirate King!
How could they fall behind on this world-class gorgeous stage?
The emperor is the strongest, and he is already Lao Huangli!
The day they killed Grand Admiral Cedric, the day Weibull joined, it was history and could no longer satisfy their appetite.
Their captain, the bounty of 2.893 billion Baileys says it all!
"Don't be so vicious one by one. We, the Heart Pirates, are a friendly neutral camp!"
a long time,
Luo calmly spoke to stop everyone who was about to make a move.
Unlike Kaido, Yamato and BIGMOM, this body has amazing potential, and it also has the blood of D!
Qianhe has no plans to give up yet.
The power of race and Devil Fruit may seem to have the same origin, but they are fundamentally different.
If the devil fruit is the gift of form and ability, and it is still a human being, then the power of race changes the deep genetic structure together with it.
simply put,
One is to use a tool, the other is to become a tool!
"You're a liar!" Karli couldn't help but curled his lips.
Do you think everyone else is a fool?
If you really have no desires or desires, wouldn’t it be better to just find a place to retire? Why go to sea at all?
During the period of occupying Dressrosa, they were recruiting troops like crazy. This was not what the neutral camp should do during such a sensitive period.
Um?
Luo glanced at Karli with a murderous look, and the latter immediately covered his mouth knowingly.
"Let's talk about your conditions first!"
"Hey...didn't you just say that the Heart Pirates are a neutral camp?"
"I just want to remind you that we are very expensive, so if you don't have enough chips, let's not talk about it!"
"How expensive is it?"
Ignatz looked curious.
The World Government has controlled this world for more than eight hundred years, and even Bailey was printed and distributed by them. He would like to hear how big Luo's appetite is.
"Well, let me think about it...at least one year's worth of Heavenly Gold from the Celestial Dragons!"
"One year?"
"One year!"
"We are willing to pay ten times the remuneration after the project is completed, and one year will be regarded as a deposit."
Well? ! !
Luo opened his mouth and was speechless.
You know, one year of sky gold is an astronomical figure, let alone ten years.
not only that,
These Baileys will also be circulated quickly, otherwise after eight hundred years of accumulation, Tezzolo would not own 20% of the world's Baileys!
Luo Saran smiled and asked: "In that case, how are you going to hand it over to me? I don't want Bailey and antiques that are worthless."
"Don't worry, we never default on our partners. In this regard, the World Government still has some credibility!"
"It sounds good for the Celestial Dragons to hand over heavenly gold to the pirates."
"Of course not! Many rebellious countries have appeared in the world this time. Since they have the courage to unilaterally withdraw from the World Government, they will naturally have to bear the corresponding price!"
Ignatz didn't hide it.
Wool comes from sheep, and occasionally a few are slaughtered. In addition to the wool, there is also mutton to eat.
"..."
"Unfortunately, I refuse this cooperation!" Hearing this, Luo spoke slowly.
"Why?!!"
"Don't always talk about the World Government. From the time those people walked out of Mariejoia, the World Government is no longer their World Government."
"Don't tell me, are you just relying on those Celestial Dragons who are like domestic animals?"
"It's not that I think highly of the Celestial Dragons, but I believe in the power of science more than you."
Vegapunk!
A figure flashed through Ignatz's mind.
There is no doubt that without the obstruction of Vegapunk, even the Celestial Dragons would not be able to mobilize all the pacifists and SSG at one go.
"Since some of the Shichibukai's abilities can be reproduced in the SSG, by the same token, the generals and Yonko's can also be copied."
"In the final analysis, Im and others have only lived ten times longer than ordinary people, not ten times more powerful than the strong men standing at the top of the sea today!"
“Since Vegapunk has made its stance clear at this moment, it’s natural to be prepared.”
"Am I right? This 'tyrant' kid!"
After saying that,
Luo set his sights on the roof of the palace and saw a cute-looking mini Bartholomew Bear looking down at them.
As for the pair of small black wings on the back,
In the past, others would have looked twice at it, but since the success of Azrael's Angel Clan's 'Heaven on Earth' plan, ninety-nine percent of the human beings in this world have grown wings.
It’s pretty much the same thing as hair of different colors, nothing surprising!
"Um?"
Bartholomew Xiong's face showed a look of thought, "How did you discover me? As far as I know, the Haki who sees and hears the color should not be able to sense machinery!"
With this appearance, if they didn't know his background, no one would have thought that he was a mechanical life form.
"It is obviously a body of steel, but the brain has a soul aura unique to a living body."
"Has that guy from Vegapunk been able to mass-produce souls?"
While explaining, Luo also asked his doubts.
Remember the Battle of Elbaf, those SSGs were not smart enough to communicate with humans normally and show human micro-expressions.
"...You are very smart!" Bartholomew Xiong frowned, as if he did not expect Luo to be able to see what was special about him at a glance.
"It's a kind of cloning!"
"Years ago, through research on bloodline factors, Vegapunk had already gained insight into all the elements that lead to the birth of a soul."
"In addition to the body, we still have all the memories of Vegapunk."
As for the SSG that appeared in Elbaf, because the time was not yet ripe, some of its functions were automatically erased in order to deceive others.
"I see!"
Luo nodded clearly.
No wonder the other party's body has the aura of soul!
Back in Marineland, he accidentally discovered that Xiong's brain had been replaced by Vegapunk's soul.
I thought that the other party would copy this model and copy it on all 'finished products', but I didn't expect that Vegapunk would find another way and use memory to replace the loss of soul!
If they have the same memory, they can indeed be considered a special kind of clone.
Compared to crude control with souls, this method is obviously more advanced. As long as there are enough materials, the number can even be increased infinitely!
the other side,
"Shut up! Stop talking!"
"Hey, don't you need to avoid this secret?"
"Well...do we know too much and we won't be silenced?"
Hearing the conversation between Luo and Xiong as if no one was watching, several CP0s were so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat.
Today is different from the past!
Involved in the vortex of the world government's power struggle, Vegapunk is no longer the simple scientist he was before, obsessed with research.
Before that,
Everyone was deceived by him!
No one expected that the war 'weapons' created by Vegapunk, in addition to relying on fixed instructions to act, were also implanted with his own memory.
And, above all priorities!
With Luo clearly rejecting them, they were at the edge of life and death in Dressrosa.
"Not them! Trafalgar Law, have you been waiting for me?"
"No, I'm waiting for Vegapunk!"
Luo said seriously.
To be able to abandon the shackles of the body and mass-produce souls is worthy of being a scientist who has surpassed human wisdom for 500 years.
This kind of technology makes even him salivate!
"Really? It's a pity that there will no longer be Vegapunk in this world. That unique scientist is gone."
"died?"
"No, I just entered the body of one of the Seraphs to sleep!"
Luo: "..."
There was such a commotion in Mariejoia, and he thought Vegapunk was up to something big!
In the end, I was looking forward to it in vain.
"When a genius who is praised by the world finds that all his achievements are just a continuation of eight hundred years ago, then the genius is no longer a genius!"
Bartholomew Bear's eyes flashed with a hint of loneliness.
Regardless of blood factors or soul creation, these technologies that have been used by Vegapunk for half his life have existed as early as 800 years ago.
In that extremely glorious era, technology developed to an unimaginable height, even beyond Vegapunk's knowledge!
No matter how hard you try, you will just pick up the wisdom of others.
In terms of wisdom, his research has not surpassed the past and present; in terms of strength, he cannot turn the entire world upside down.
then,
In this way, Vegapunk mass-produced countless Vegapunks and then disappeared!
"Oh, not only do you want to transcend the present, but you also want to transcend the past and the future. What a paranoid guy."
Luo can somewhat understand Vegapunk's thoughts.
In that era when three major ancient weapons could be made, countless races could be created, and devil fruits could be invented, even Vegapunk felt a little powerless!
If one doesn't work, then create thousands of selves and wake up one day in the future.
See who is better!
In fact, in Luo's view, Vegapunk has already won.
After all, he has grown to this point on a blank foundation.
The most important thing is that what he compares is not a single individual, but all the pinnacle achievements of the entire world and the entire era!
"With your scientific research ability, you should be able to analyze my true thoughts through the fluctuations of my soul!"
"If I say and think this, can it make you feel relieved a little bit?"
"Dr. Vegapunk?"
Sudden,
Luo raised the corners of his mouth and stared at the moon above his head.
Even in broad daylight, he was sure that the moon was in that position, and he was also sure that Vegapunk himself was watching him from above.
Through the body of this mini Bartholomew Bear!
…
