Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 370 I am quite familiar with the elders in your family

"That's a shame. I didn't expect you to know Mr. Dorag."

Robin sighed.

Shakya shook his head:

"It's not a pity. I'm a scientist, not a weapons inventor."

"At that time, Drago had just left the navy, and the private army he had established was either fighting or on its way to war."

"While I recognize his goals, our paths are different."

Shakya's tone was calm. Even now he was very sure that his choice back then was correct.

A poor army could not produce anything good. No matter how many inventions and designs there were, they would just be left gathering dust in the hands of the revolutionary army. He had experienced this feeling of powerlessness once in his hometown of Balkimos.

Vegapunk does not like the World Government, but they are the only ones with enough resources to support their research and turn their imaginative inventions into reality.

"Come with me, the main body is waiting for you at the abandoned station."

Shakya turned and walked away, and Luffy jogged after him.

Nami and the others stopped where they were, looking at each other in hesitation.

Everyone knows that Vegapunk serves the World Government. In other words, this is the World Government's territory. Just because he knows Luffy's father doesn't mean he is one of them.

Finally, it was Sanji who took the first step.

"Let's go. We won't be able to understand each other if we don't get in touch, right?"

"Ah."

Soon, everyone in the group followed.

"Helmet Punk, did you just say my dad was a Marine?"

Luffy smiled and ran to Shakya and asked curiously.

"Well, speaking of which, I have some connection with quite a few of you. I'll just pass the time on the way and tell you some interesting things."

Shakya turned his head and looked at Luffy, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Back when Dragon joined the Navy, he showed great potential. He was the son of the hero Garp and was once hailed as a future star by the Navy. The current Grand Admiral Akainu was Dragon's subordinate back then."

“——Hey!”

“——hiss!”

"That's Akainu! He's a monster-like guy who once worked under Luffy's father."

Chopper and Usopp exclaimed.

"Well, Dorag himself possesses formidable strength, and his ability to command operations and command soldiers is also outstanding. More importantly, his style of doing things and his insistence on justice are well-recognized and respected by his subordinates."

Shakyamuni couldn't help but admire Dragon from the bottom of his heart, and then he turned his gaze to Sanji.

"Then there's Blackfoot Sanji. Your father, Judge, and I also know each other. We used to work together."

"Ah, I heard Franky talk about this a little bit. MADS organization, right?"

Sanji glanced at Franky.

Franky gave a thumbs up and grinned:

"Yeah, my bastard dad Quinn also worked with you at MADS, Vegapunk."

"Oh? You're Quinn's son?"

Now it was Shakya's turn to be surprised, and he looked Franky up and down.

The modified body is not guaranteed to be real, but the exaggerated facial expressions, movements and speaking style can be identified as genuine at a glance.

"I see, you guys are really keen on transformation, but Quinn isn't as perverted as you."

From a genetic point of view, is it inherited from the mother?
Shakya touched his chin and thought.

"Hahahaha! Thank you for the compliment."

"No, they didn't compliment you."

Usopp waved his hand speechlessly at Franky, then looked at Shakya and said with emotion:
"I never thought that the legendary genius scientist Vegapunk actually knew the fathers of all of you."

"In theory, this is a miracle, but in reality..."

Shakya's tone was calm and did not change because of such a low-probability event.

"The world is a huge machine that keeps running. All the gears that stand out and gain a higher position in this ocean will slowly mesh together, so this is an inevitable event."

"The so-called coincidence is only because you have reached a higher position. If you hadn't gone to sea, the coincidence of being together now would no longer exist."

Everyone scratched their heads, not quite understanding what was going on.

Scientists speak so strangely. Is it because their IQ is not high enough to communicate normally with each other?

"And Nico Robin, I used to be friends with Dr. Clover, but you should wait for the main character to talk to you. We're already here."

As they spoke, they walked to a dark blue wall. Shakya stopped and gestured to Luffy and the others:

"Go in, he's waiting inside. I need to go back to the research floor first."

"Go in?"

Luffy tilted his head and stared at the wall in confusion.

"Where to go in? But there is no door here."

"This is a holographic projection. Don't be fooled by the visuals."

When Shakya put his hand in, it looked like half of his arm was cut off by the wall, which made several people scream.

Luffy was very curious and excitedly bumped into the wall.

"Hey Luffy!"

Usopp reached out hastily, but was still a step too slow.

However, Luffy didn't make any sound and his whole body sank directly into the wall.

"It seems that this is indeed not a physical entity."

Robin had a calm expression on his face. He glanced at Shakya, seemed a little concerned about what he said, and walked in.

Soon others followed suit.

After they entered, Shakya turned around and left.

"Wu-oh-oh!"

Leaving the city where neon lights flickered and various light screens were printed in the sky, Luffy saw a brand new scene.

White clouds roll in and out, lazily wandering in the sapphire blue sky. The surrounding coconut trees cast heavy shadows, enclosing an open space in the center.

"We won't be fooled."

"Is Vegapunk really in a place like this?"

Nami and the others looked around and saw that the place was full of waste, with all kinds of messy electrical components, burnt plastics, and twisted metals piled up like mountains.

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he jumped into the garbage pile and started searching around as if he had discovered some treasure.

"It's so dirty, idiot Luffy, come down quickly."

Uta walked up unhappily.

Before she could pull the other person, Luffy flipped out a flashlight-like handle and pressed it.

Swish!
A beam of purple-red laser suddenly appeared, startling the two of them.

boom.

"It hurts."

Uta took two steps back, fell on the ground with a wronged look, and became angry when he looked at Luffy.

Luffy's pupils shrank in shock when he realized what was happening.

"Could this be...?!"

Stupid!
Luffy swung his hand at an abandoned refrigerator, and the lightsaber sliced ​​it in two as easily as cutting tofu, the cut gleaming with intense heat. Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

“Oh! It’s a laser sword!!”

Luffy and Chopper opened their mouths wide, their eyes shining with excitement.

"That's amazing, Luffy, you can actually find such a great thing among a pile of junk."

Usopp couldn't help but praise.

It was just a laser sword, but he wasn't envious at all because he had one.

Luffy turned his head towards him, grinning and showing two rows of bright teeth, and said with a smug smile:
"Hehehe, when we were little, Ace Sabo and I would often look for treasures at the Waste Terminal. I was pretty lucky, wasn't I?"

"So he's very experienced, really amazing."

Franky laughed.

It was just a laser sword, but he didn't envy it because he had one too.

"But, even though it's called a scrapyard, it seems like a lot of things here are still usable. No, I should say they're not broken at all."

After observing the surroundings, Franky found that except for the laser sword in Luffy's hand, many electrical appliances here were intact.

But if it is called a warehouse, it doesn't look like it is thrown around randomly and without any order.

"Actually, the things here are all discarded failures. The reason they're not thrown away is because I might come back and renovate them someday if I have a new idea."

At this moment, a voice came from the depths of the abandoned site, and everyone's attention was drawn there at the same time.

A middle-aged man in a white coat and with pale hair and beard came out. His long tongue was sticking out from under his broom beard, and his long and thin legs made his whole body look like a goblet.

The most eye-catching thing is that half an apple is floating on his bald head, as if the apple was inserted on his head with a branch, with a green leaf on it.

"Hello everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates, my name is Vegapunk."

Vegapunk put his hands behind his back, walked up to Luffy while greeting him, and took over the previous topic:
"Like the laser sword in your hand, although it's powerful, its light attracts mosquitoes, so I left it here."

"It just attracts mosquitoes, it's nothing serious."

dong dong!

dong dong!

Luffy said nonchalantly, staring at Vegapunk's head curiously. He knocked on the left, then jumped to the right and knocked again, frowning.
"Can't I eat it?"

"How presumptuous, bastard! What are you complaining about? This is the smartest brain in the world!"

Vegapunk rolled his eyes and bared his teeth at Luffy and growled.

Luffy scratched his head awkwardly and waved his hands in apology:

"Oh my, sorry, Uncle Apple Head."

"Really? He doesn't look like Dorag at all. He looks just like your grandfather. They're cut from the same cloth."

Vegapunk sighed, then pointed at his apple head and explained to them:

"This is actually the antenna that receives the [Punk Records] above. That's my real brain."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky again. Luffy and the others looked in the direction of his hand and saw a huge purple eggshell floating above the clouds.

"Is that your brain?"

"Yes, as my knowledge grew, my head kept getting bigger, and it hasn't stopped until now. As you can see, I can't even walk with such a big head on my head, so..."

Vegapunk paused, blinked like a mischievous old boy, and said calmly:

"I just cut it off."

"Cut it off!!"

A group of people lined up and couldn't help rolling their eyes and complaining loudly.

"Don't make it sound so easy!"

"This is a brain!"

"It's a medical miracle!"

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper shouted angrily.

Seeing the reactions of several people, Vegapunk was very satisfied, with a proud smile on his face.
"Because I'm the brain person of the Brain-Brain Fruit, there's no problem. My brain capacity for absorbing unlimited knowledge, coupled with my genius IQ, gave birth to the most powerful brain, Panke Record."

"If one day this brain could be shared by all of humanity, everyone in the world would have unlimited knowledge, and cyberpunk records would explode in data."

"It sounds impressive, but it's inexplicably terrifying. I'd recommend you don't do this kind of thing."

Sanji frowned and felt as if he had goosebumps all over his body.

"Science won't progress if we're timid. Well, let's talk about that later."

After saying this, Vegapunk glanced at Luffy, then turned back to look at Robin.
"A survivor of O'Hara, the demon child who pursues the truth of history, Nico Robin, and one of the successors of the Will of D, the Straw Hat Kid, is this a coincidence or a destined meeting?"

Hearing this, Sanji and the others immediately became alert.

"Come with me, I want to show you something."

Under the cautious gaze of the group, Vegapunk turned and walked towards the depths of the wasteland, his hands behind his back, saying:

"What do you think of this place? With all the technology, it's like the future."

Without waiting for Luffy and the others to respond, Vegapunk continued speaking.

"What if I told you that this is how the world should have been? Many of the things here were invented by me based on technology from 800 years ago?"

"800 years ago?"

"Wait a minute! You're saying these things existed so long ago?"

Usopp was amazed and looked around at the various "weird" technological products, with the same look of disbelief on his face as everyone else.

"Eight hundred years ago."

Hearing the key words, Robin's brows furrowed and he muttered to himself.

Vegapunk seemed to have anticipated her reaction and said without turning his head:

"That's right. During the blank hundred years, the advanced civilization that this world already possessed was destroyed, and all traces of its existence were erased by the World Government."

The wind was noisy, bringing the coolness of the sea and dispelling the heat in the air.

Under the clear sky, a huge robot lies quietly in the ruins, with moss all over the rusty iron sheet. It has been untouched for a long time and has become a relic that exudes an ancient atmosphere. The traces of time are revealed under the sunlight.

After passing through several piles of waste, the group finally arrived in front of this huge ancient robot. They were all shocked by this creation that combined two completely different auras: antiquity and technology.

"It appeared 200 years ago, suddenly attacking the holy land of Marijoa, and research has shown that its existence can be traced back to 800 years ago."

"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that the energy used by this robot is something I can't replicate even with today's technology. In other words, the truth that O'Hara's scholars pursue, the vast kingdom with a highly advanced civilization that they have unearthed from countless documents."

Vegapunk turned around and said in a strong voice to Robin's stunned eyes:
"800 years ago! It really existed!!"

Standing in front of the ancient robot, the history of the world seemed to turn into countless fragments flashing through Robin's mind, as if the air had solidified at this moment, so quiet that she didn't want to be disturbed.

In other words, everyone is right.

Mother, Dr. Clover, and everyone at O'Hara are gradually approaching the truth of the world.

Suddenly, the sounds in my ears gradually became clearer: the rustling of green leaves, the chirping of insects in the grass, and the singing of birds in the shade of trees.

The breeze blew through her clothes, and Robin stood there motionless until she came to her senses and found that everyone was looking at her worriedly.

Unknown when, tears had already slid down his face and wet his collar. Robin subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it away and shook his head gently.
"Sorry, I'm fine, I just..."

The words came to his lips but he didn't know where to start. Robin just bit his lower lip tightly and clenched his hands tightly.

Because you are close to the truth of the world, you will be completely erased.

She seemed to see O'Hara in the artillery fire, the Tree of All-Knowing burning mercilessly in the flames, and her mother's voice.

"We never thought of overthrowing the world, Robin. The truth does not necessarily need to be known by us, but we must protect the voice left by history."
