Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 309: Take the people and the island away! (7 more chapters, k monthly tickets please!)

Any scientific research requires a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

Not to mention Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist whose "science and technology are five hundred years ahead of their time and eight hundred years behind the times"!

Storm had thought about recruiting Vegapunk before, but he was slow to take action.

The most important reason is that -

Storm does not have enough resources to support Vegapunk's research!

With no resources and only one to support Vegapunk, does this "world's greatest brain" have to rely on himself to build a nuclear reactor?

If Storm remembered correctly, someone had tried to recruit Vegapunk more than a decade ago.

——It’s not Lou Fielder, the king of loan sharks.

The MADS organization funded by loan shark king Lu Fielder was a story from a long time ago...

More than ten years ago - to be precise, the year when O'Hara was ordered to be destroyed by the World Government.

Vegapunk went to O'Hara to pay tribute to Dr. Clover, and then met Monkey D. Dragon on O'Hara Island, who had not yet formed the Revolutionary Army.

The current revolutionary army had not yet been established back then. At that time, there was only the "Self-Defense Army".

Monkey D. Dragon was the captain of the Self-Defense Force at that time.

Dragon also wanted to recruit Vegapunk in those days, and extended an olive branch to the world's number one genius, hoping to use the world's number one genius's mind and technology to change the world.

But at that time, Vegapunk rejected Dragon without hesitation.

The root cause is this -

In a poor army like the Self-Defense Force, even with Vegapunk's knowledge and technology, they can't produce anything useful!

But it's different now.

Storm defeated Charlotte Linlin, almost destroyed the entire Big Mom Pirates, occupied Totland and took the wealth of the pirate kingdom for himself.

In addition to the Tian Yasha, the King of Usury, the Big Hand Undertaker, the Warehouse Business Master, the Shipping King...the two remaining kings of the dark world, the Queen of Happy Street and the Big News Bird, who were all defeated by him one after another, became his subordinates.

Plus, the Golden Emperor who is about to become the new king of the dark world...

The current scale of Storm's power is roughly equivalent to the original BIG MOM Pirates plus the entire dark world!
This does not include the golden wealth in the golden city of Shandora on the "Sky Gaya Island" above the paradise in the first half of the Grand Line!

With Storm's current power and territory, it can be said that it is more than enough to support one Vegapunk!

After hearing what Storm said, Vegapunk looked extremely shocked.

He is a scientist who is oblivious to the world outside and is only focused on research.

But even such a scientist knows what the BIG MOM Pirates represent!
"you……"

Vegapunk couldn't help but ask.

"You defeated Big Mom?"

"It's not 'beat', it's 'kill'."

Storm corrected him with a smile.

"Charlotte Lingling is dead, if you want to see the evidence..."

Storm casually pulled to the side, and a space door opened. He reached in and directly pulled out the Emperor's Sword, Broken Blade, Napoleon.

The moment he saw the broken sword, Vegapunk immediately realized—

BIG MOM, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, has indeed been defeated!
An exclusive weapon is of great significance to pirates.

Just imagine.

If someone suddenly took weapons like [Ace], [Kuromogi], [Hachisai-ken], and they were broken weapons, and ran to the navy, saying that he defeated Roger, Whitebeard, and the Beasts...

Even if “there is no trace of the person alive and no trace of the body dead”, the credibility of this statement is still very high!

"If what Bai Long said is true..."

"The power and wealth of the Big Mom Pirates, and the wealth of the Golden Emperor!"

"Should I follow Bailong's advice, leave the World Government, and join this pirate?"

Vegapunk fell into deep hesitation.

To be honest, he was dissatisfied with many actions of the World Government.

It's like Vegapunk is clearly 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 Hazard, he didn't even dare to think about how to realize this dream...

If it was under the command of a pirate...

Should it become a little more "free"?
However, Vegapunk and White Dragon are not familiar with each other.

Today is only the second time the two sides have met.

Vegapunk was very worried that he had just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den.

"if……"

Vegapunk was silent for a while, hesitating to speak, but in the end he did not express his opinion directly, but changed his way of saying it.

"What do you think of the 'world'?"

"world?"

Storm raised his eyebrows.

"Division, poverty, backwardness, ignorance and chaos. That's about it."

The Red Earth Continent and the Grand Line completely divided the world into several parts.

The development levels vary greatly among islands, and poverty exists throughout the lives of most ordinary people.

For some islands, the level of development is still at the primitive level and cannot be called "developed" at all.

Not to mention the ignorance and confusion.

In the great pirate era, thousands of ships competed and hundreds of boats raced against each other.

Countless people dream of becoming the Pirate King.

But the one who was destined to become the Pirate King was a destined God.

A world that only wants to wait for a savior, a divine savior, to solve all problems is really sad.

especially……

Can that divine savior really save the world?
Vegapunk did not expect that Bailong's understanding of the sea would be so "unique". He looked at him deeply.

“So, your dream is to change the world?”

"No, my childhood dream was to be a king, the kind that raises a large number of dragons."

Storm shook his head and answered very seriously.

“As for changing the world? I don’t have such a grand 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."

Having said that, Storm briefly described the world in which he lived.

People live and work in peace and contentment, science and technology are booming, and everyone can enjoy the fun brought by science and technology.

In short -

Modern society.

Storm was talking excitedly, and at the same time he used his [Clay Fruit] ability to create clay models one by one.

As small as refrigerator, air conditioner, TV, telephone...

As big as cars, ships, airplanes, rockets...

Because there is already an alternative to the "train" on the sea - the sea train.

So Storm did not give the example of the train. He just used the [Clay Fruit] to make a square mobile phone.

"If possible, I hope Dr. Vegapunk can help me make one of these things - I call it a 'smartphone'."

God knows how long it took Storm to overcome his "cell phone absence syndrome" when he first arrived at the sea.

Vegapunk took the white cube from Storm and looked at it carefully, but couldn't see anything special about it...

"I roughly understand what you mean."

Vegapunk put away the clay cube and looked at Storm seriously.

"Will you use technology in war?"

Technology war?

Storm gave Vegapunk a strange look, then he looked up at the sky.

"Dr. Vegapunk, everyone says that your knowledge and technology are five hundred years ahead of the ocean. What I want to ask is... can your technology lag behind the ocean by eight hundred years?" Eight hundred years ago, a huge kingdom stood proudly on the ocean.

Many of Vegapunk’s technologies are said to be “inventions” but are actually “archaeology”.

And many of his technologies are not as advanced as those of the ancients...

From the original score.

Under normal circumstances, Vegapunk's intelligence is still online.

He clearly understood what Storm meant by the "eight hundred years".

Science and technology from eight hundred years ago!
Vegapunk shook his head.

"Probably not..."

Storm glanced at this "world's number one brain" and continued to ask.

"So, can your technology, or the most powerful science and technology, compare to [Uranus], [Pluto] or [Aquaman]?"

Three ancient weapons.

[Uranus] and [Pluto] are both capable of destroying an island with one shot.

Not destroying the island surface.

Instead, completely destroy the island!

As for [Aquaman].

It calls upon the abilities of all sea kings in the entire ocean and can also be considered a strategic-level weapon on this planet where the ocean occupies an absolute dominant position.

The corners of Vegapunk's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly.

"No."

He still hasn't figured out the ancient technology!
The three great ancient weapons are the highest achievement of ancient technology!
How can Vegapunk's current technological level compare to that of the Ancient Kingdom?

Storm's last words came over.

"So you're still worried about your technology being used in war?"

how to say?

Storm felt that the so-called "war" on the sea was actually a joke.

of course.

Small-scale wars between islands and countries do not count.

Storm just thinks that the so-called "war" between the real top forces is a joke.

For example, when the Straw Hat Pirates sailed to Fishman Island.

Straw Hat Boy Luffy used his [Conqueror's Haki] to directly stun 50,000 soldiers of Fishman Island.

And what level was Luffy's [Conqueror's Haki] at that time in the New World?
At most, he's just on par with Doflamingo, right?

A strong person who has mastered the [Haoku Haki] can completely keep war away from ordinary people.

The top-level [Haoshoku Haki] can even directly stun powerful figures like the Vice Admiral of the Navy or the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Why fight a war like this?
In the final analysis.

On this sea.

The power of the individual transcends technology.

Unless Vegapunk's technological productivity develops to the point where it can easily manufacture the three ancient weapons.

if not.

The influence of technology in the so-called "Pirate War" is still too weak.

Vegapunk was silent for a while.

"So, you won't use your technological power in the 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... I certainly won't stop it.

"But I'm not specifically asking you to produce weapons of mass destruction.

"Of course, if you, Dr. Vegapunk, tell me one day that you can create Uranus or a spaceship, please don't hesitate."

"Spaceship?"

Vegapunk began to stutter.

He still hasn't figured out what the "plane" Storm just mentioned is.

How come we have now directly leaped into the "spaceship" era?

"Let's talk about this later..."

Vegapunk touched the back of his neck and made a quick decision.

"Actually, I don't have a favorable impression of the World Government... Then let's leave Punk Hazard together now!"

What Storm just said.

What Vegapunk is most concerned about is the vision of "modernized society" mentioned by the other party.

The scene was so real that it seemed as if Bai Long had really lived in modern society...

As a scientist dedicated to peace, Vegapunk is very concerned about a society where everyone can enjoy the fun of technology.

Let’s put these “dreams” aside.

What impressed Vegapunk the most was that... he actually had no choice.

It is known that Haku defeated Big Mom.

And on Punk Hazard Island, is there anyone who can resist Big Mom?
The answer is zero.

Vegapunk was unwilling to allow Punk Hazard to suffer pointless destruction.

So choosing "surrender" directly now is undoubtedly the best solution.

Anyway, even if the world government investigates it later.

Vegapunk wasn't worried either.

This is what scientists who make a living from knowledge and technology are like.

What's more, Vegapunk's technological productivity is the highest in the ocean!

"Then welcome Dr. Vegapunk to join us!"

Storm smiled and stretched out his right hand, shaking hands with Vegapunk, then he asked again.

"Doctor, there shouldn't be any special research secrets hidden beneath Punk Hazard Island, right?"

"Down below?"

Vegapunk was slightly stunned and looked at Storm in confusion.

"I do not quite understand you."

Storm raised his right hand and waved it, and a blond figure slowly floated down from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

"What I mean is, if there is any secret laboratory built under the island of Punk Hazard, or any other technological product, it would be best to tell me in advance.

"Because I want to take this island away directly!"

If Storm had only kidnapped one Vegapunk.

Then when he returns to Totland, he will need to spend a lot of time and energy to help Vegapunk rebuild a new research island.

This is such a waste!

As early as the moment he decided to kidnap Vegapunk.

Storm has already thought about it.

He wants to take Vegapunk and Punk Hazard away with their islands!
This is Storm's real revenge plan!
Vegapunk subconsciously looked at the newly appeared blond figure.
