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

Chapter 390 Killer?
Arriving above Egghead, Qinglong slowly swooped down to the research layer above the clouds suspended in the air.

Reiner glanced at the island below. There were high-tech skyscrapers standing in rows, and many pedestrians were walking on the futuristic city streets. It seemed no different from usual.

"Now that he got the news, why didn't he evacuate the civilians in advance?"

Reiner muttered in confusion.

"Vegapunk probably thought that if he left, it wouldn't affect the people here."

Aokiji frowned slightly and replied calmly, "I can only say that he still underestimated the methods of the World Government."

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by that?"

Hearing this, Uta hurried over, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Reiner and Aokiji glanced back at her but didn't respond.

Robin reached out and gently placed her hand on Uta's shoulder from behind. Looking at the future island below that was full of all kinds of magical technologies, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes.

"After today, this island will probably disappear from the world completely."

"What about the people here?"

"Ah, let it be sunk to the bottom of the sea along with this island, burned to ashes by the artillery fire."

As he spoke, Robin looked at Aokiji expressionlessly.

She didn't know what the other circumstances would be, but she knew for sure that erasing all evidence and existence of historical research was an action the World Government would still take.

Aokiji didn't say anything, as if he agreed with Robin's statement.

"how so."

Wuta stood there in a daze, his eyes trembling, finding it hard to accept.

Thinking of the scene of innocent people on the entire island wailing in the artillery fire, I felt as if I had fallen into an ice cellar and my whole body was cold.

Aokiji turned back to look inside the research institute and said expressionlessly:

"The warships haven't arrived yet, so there's still time to organize the evacuation of civilians. Let's find Vegapunk first."

"Wait a minute! You're not going to come with us, are you? We only agreed to take you here!"

"You're not going to attack us as soon as the navy arrives, are you?"

"That's right! We won't trust you so easily!"

Usopp pointed at Aokiji and shouted tremblingly, while Chopper huddled behind him and nodded in agreement.

The few of them were still somewhat wary of Aokiji, especially considering Robin's feelings. They were annoyed when they saw the other party's familiar look.

Aokiji shrugged, looking as if he didn't care what they said.

He came here for his own things to do, not to help the Straw Hat Pirates.

Soon, Qinglong landed on the research floor.

“Wuhu——!”

"I'm back again!"

duang~duang~
Luffy took Chopper and jumped onto the Sky Island Cloud. The soft and elastic cloud bounced the two of them high up like a trampoline.

Usopp and Brook followed closely behind.

"Wait for me, Luffy! Chopper!"

"Yo ho ho ho~"

It’s already this late, and you still have the mind to play here.

Nami rolled her eyes at a few people in annoyance, feeling speechless but too lazy to say anything.

There's no point in saying it anyway.

Walking on the cotton-white clouds, amid the laughter and playfulness of Luffy and his companions, the group walked into the gate of the research institute with ease.

“Uncle——!”

"Are you there, uncle—!"

The metallic blue floor reflects light cleanly, and the surrounding metal walls are lit with neatly arranged light lines, giving the entire space a sense of technology.

As the group walked in the wide passage, Luffy put his hands to his mouth and shouted several times, but there was no response.

"emmm"

Luffy frowned, scratched his head, put his hands on his hips, and said bluntly:

"It seems that uncle is not at home."

"Your conclusion is too hasty!!"

Usopp couldn't help but roll his eyes and loudly complain. Robin, seemingly thoughtful, frowned and solemnly said:
"Are we too late? Vegapunk has already been executed and buried by the killer?"

"Nani?!"

Chopper held his face in his hands and cried out in fear.

Nami and Brulee around them couldn't help but take a step back in fear, as if Robin was emitting some terrible curse.

Just as a few people were guessing, they suddenly heard a faint cry for mercy coming from far away.

"Wait a minute! If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't use violence!"

“This sound is...!”

"Uncle?!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Reiner and others reacted immediately.

Before they could move, another murderous voice came from the end of the passage.

"Now that you've done this! There's no point in begging for mercy, go die, Vegapunk!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately imagined a fierce chase scene.

"Oh no! The World Government's assassins have arrived!"

"It's really fast."

Sanji and Zoro's expressions froze, and Luffy even half-crouched with his legs apart, his eyes fixed straight into the shadows at the end of the passage.

boom!
Luffy kicked his feet hard, and the whole person flew straight out.
"Hey - uncle! We are here to save you!"

"Let's go too!"

"Ok!"

The remaining few people also quickly drew their weapons and rushed out. No matter what, they were pirates, and the people from the World Government were definitely not friendly forces.

Only Reiner frowned and stood there in confusion.

The voice that was chasing Vegapunk sounded familiar, and he was sure it wasn't Luchikaku, because...
This is obviously a woman's voice!
But how could Stussy possibly attack Vegapunk?

As he was wondering, figures at the end of the road gradually appeared.

Vegapunk, dressed in a white coat, relied on the levitation ability of his dom boots to fly rapidly and escaped in panic.

Seeing Luffy and others rushing towards him, Vegapunk looked surprised.

"Straw Hat Boy? You're back."

"Don't worry, uncle! Watch me beat the enemy away!"

“Rubber, rubber.!”

Luffy placed his left hand on the biceps of his right arm, grinned, and passed by Vegapunk, swinging his fist at the figure chasing him in the shadows.

At the moment when the figure with long flowing hair inside became vaguely clear, Vegapunk and Sanji were startled and shouted at the same time.

"Stop it, Straw Hat Boy!"

"Wait a minute Luffy!"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Zhi——! !

Luffy slammed on the brakes when he heard the sound, pulled his shoulder, and hurriedly pulled back his flying fist.

Snapped!
After quickly retracting his outstretched arm, Luffy quickly turned back to look at Vegapunk.
"Hey! What's going on, uncle? Didn't she want to kill you?!"

"Yes! But...it's hard to explain right now, anyway!"

Vegapunk stuck out his long tongue and stammered,

"Bonnie is not an enemy!"

"Bonnie?!"

Luffy looked back in surprise and saw a female figure rushing in front of him. She had a delicate face and long, flowing purple hair.

"Stop getting in the way, Straw Hat Boy!"

Bonnie held a steel water pipe in both hands, gritted her teeth, and stared at Luffy with fierce eyes.

"If my father doesn't turn back, I will definitely kill him today!"
