Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 306 Prepare to Die, Vegapunk!

boom!!!

A huge black shadow crashed down in front of Wukong and his companions, making a deafening noise.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, everyone stared at the enormous creature before them, their mouths agape involuntarily.

What, what is this?!

What appeared before them was a giant, colorful robot.

The robot was lying face down on the ground, its head facing Wukong and the others.

To Wukong and his friends' astonishment, the robot was enormous. Although they could only see its head and shoulders from their current perspective and not its entirety, the sheer size of its shoulders, which were at least hundreds of meters long, told them that the robot must be unimaginably large.

Is Vegapunk here researching this kind of thing?

This thought involuntarily popped into the minds of Nami, Robin, and the others.

Suddenly, the robot, which had been lying motionless on the ground, sat up, propping itself up with its hands. A furious, cursing voice came from its chest: "This is really shaking me to death! This flight test has failed again. It seems we need to continue to improve it."

Bang! !

A circular doorway suddenly opened on the robot's chest, revealing one of the operating compartments.

A slender woman with short blond hair, wearing a strange bodysuit, jumped out of the cabin.

The woman was cursing at the robot, but when she saw Wukong and his group standing in front of her, she immediately revealed a fierce expression.

"Hey! Who are you people! How dare you trespass on Egherd!"

Goku and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Nami, while observing the woman who had suddenly appeared, asked, "Bonnie, didn't you live here before? Doesn't this woman recognize you?"

Bonnie looked puzzled and gently shook her head, saying, "I don't know this woman. I've never seen her before. She probably arrived later."

In Vegapunk's research base, besides Vegapunk himself, there were many other researchers who assisted him.

Bonnie got to know everyone here when she was receiving treatment here, or rather, she got along very well with everyone.

If it weren't for the bear incident, she would have been very happy to come back here.

"Huh? I know you, you're Sun Wukong!"

The woman glanced around at Wukong and the others, finally fixing her gaze on Wukong.

Hearing someone call his name, Wukong greeted them warmly: "Hehe, that's right, I'm Sun Wukong. What's your name?"

"My name is Lilith!"

The woman raised her chin arrogantly.

"Oh, Lilith, we're looking for someone named Beshyok. Do you know where he is?" Wukong asked with a smile.

"Vegapunk?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name." Wukong nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Lilith's large, jewel-like pink eyes darted around as if she were thinking about something. After a short while, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, "I know where Vegapunk is. If you want to know, you have to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Wukong asked, puzzled.

Lilith revealed a sly smile: "Two billion Berries. Give me two billion Berries and I'll tell you where Vegapunk is."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Wukong froze.

Two billion Pele?

Did this woman accidentally add an extra "hundred million"?

"Don't tell me you don't have any. You're now a Yonko-level power that's famous throughout the seas. You even defeated that guy Kaido. You must have gotten a lot of wealth from him. A mere two billion Berries, you could easily come up with that."

Lilith crossed her arms, looking confident and composed.

Although Eigerde's research received support from the World Government, research funding was consistently insufficient, so she frequently robbed those who ventured into Eigerde's waters.

Wukong and his gang were clearly not easy targets for robbery, but since they needed her help, she was determined to fleece them.

Hmph, two billion Berries, that's a huge sum of money. It's enough to support their unbridled research for three months. If they're frugal, six months wouldn't be a problem.

Lilith thought to herself.

"Stop wasting your breath on her. I know where Vegapunk is. He must be inside the research facility."

Bonnie didn't even glance at Lilith, walking straight past her and heading towards the island.

Of course, Goku and the others wouldn't be fools and give Lilith two billion Berries, so they silently followed Bonney.

Lilith's confident smile froze on her face, and her short temper flared up immediately, prompting her to try and stop Wukong and the others.

But before she could do anything, a voice from her earpiece made her give up the idea.

"Lilith, they are my friends, don't make things difficult for them."

"Hmph! I know, really, we almost made two billion Berries."

"That woman is money-mad! She's asking for two billion Berries! Does she think we're rich bastards? Forget two billion Berries, I won't give her a single one!"

As they headed towards the island, Nami finally couldn't help but start cursing.

Two billion peles is a huge sum of money. They once possessed such immense wealth, but it's long gone now.

Nami ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the batch of gold obtained from Skypiea has been depleted, with only about 500 to 600 million gold remaining so far.

As for Lilith's claim of obtaining treasure from Kaido, that's just wishful thinking. Kaido leads a large army on an attack; he wouldn't be carrying any treasure. Even if he did, it would belong to the Whitebeard Pirates; they didn't even bother to ask for it.

"That's strange. Shouldn't that woman have chased after us to stop us?" Robin said in surprise, rubbing his chin as he noticed that Lilith hadn't followed.

"What's the big deal? It's probably Vegapunk who gave the order. He let us in, so he couldn't possibly let us land on the island and then stop us from entering it," Nami waved her hand.

"Huh? What's that?!"

When their group walked through a grove of trees and came to an open area, the sight before them left them all speechless with astonishment.

What appeared before them was a technologically advanced city, filled with uniquely designed, colorful sci-fi buildings that could not be seen in the outside world.

"Did Vegapunk do all of this by himself?" Sanji asked, bewildered.

"Bonnie, Vegapunk's research facility is right here, right? Lead the way," Nami exclaimed, looking around in amazement.

To everyone's surprise, Bonney, who had previously claimed to know where Vegapunk was, hesitated for a moment and then shook her head: "Well, when I was here before, I always stayed in the research institute and never went outside, so I don't know what the outside is like. The research institute should be here, but I don't know its exact location."

"Oh, it's alright. I'll go find Vegapunk's location."

Nami waved her hand dismissively, then focused on investigating.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky.

There seems to be something up there.

Swish! !

Nami suddenly transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared.

A few seconds later, she suddenly reappeared in the same spot, pointed to the sky above, and smiled: "You would never guess that Vegapunk's research institute is up there, on a small floating island."

Sky Island?

After hearing her words, everyone looked up at the same time.

Hundreds of meters above the ground, there was indeed a white object. To the untrained eye, it would look like an ordinary cloud, but Nami went up to check and discovered that it was actually an island cloud.

A massive white research institute was built on the island cloud.

"It's up there, let's go up!" Wukong said, pulling out his Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Nami took Robin and soared into the sky, while Sanji, carrying Pupu, used Moonwalk to walk into the air. Bonney and Namur, who couldn't fly, could only hold onto Goku's Power Pole and rely on it to carry them up.

Soon, everyone arrived at the sky island.

They also saw a huge research institute standing in front of them.

At the very top of the research institute, the words "Vegapunk Research Institute" are prominently displayed, which is why Nami is certain that this is Vegapunk's research institute.

As they arrived at the institute's gate, wondering how to open it, the gate suddenly opened automatically with a hum.

"Hehe, it seems Vegapunk is already waiting for us inside," Nami chuckled.

As soon as the door opened, Bonnie rushed inside.

Upon seeing the familiar silver metal wall inside the door, she immediately knew she had returned to the place she had been three years ago.

"Vegapunk!! Vegapunk, where are you?! Come out here right now!!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, she could no longer contain herself and shouted.

Goku, Nami, Sanji, and the others followed behind, curiously observing everything inside the research institute.

Suddenly, Nami saw a bunch of shiny things in the corner, her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed to them.

"Diamonds!! So many diamonds!!"

In front of her was an ordinary glass cabinet, inside which a large number of glittering diamonds were piled up on the stage.

These treasures, enough to make countless people scream with excitement, are now casually placed here like ordinary objects.

Nami's eyes have turned into Beli's. If these diamonds were auctioned off, they would be worth at least a billion!

"Vegapunk, you better come out here right now!!"

At this point, Bonnie, who still hadn't received a response, disregarded everything else and rushed into the passage, disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye.

"Wait for me, Bonnie!"

After scanning the area and finding it rather boring, Wukong followed after them without a second thought.

When Robin, Sanji, and Namur saw this, they didn't rush to chase after him. After all, with Goku's strength, no one here could hurt him.

Having finally gained access to the research institute of this brilliant scientist, they wanted to take a good look around and see what amazing technological creations it contained.

"Vegapunk!! Vegapunk, you better come out here right now!!"

Bonnie shouted as she ran through the passageway.

Although several years had passed, she still felt somewhat familiar with the structure of the research institute, so she wasn't running around aimlessly, but rather heading towards the experimental area where Vegapunk often stayed, as she remembered.

After turning left and right many times in the maze of passageways, Bonnie suddenly stopped, and Goku, who was right behind her, almost crashed into her.

"Huh?"

Wukong peeked out from behind Bonnie and saw an old man with gray hair standing in front of her.

"Long time no see, Bonnie! You look so energetic!"

The old man was clearly Vegapunk. As he looked at Bonney, who was now an adult, he seemed to recall the lively little Bonney who had once been treated by him, and he felt somewhat dazed.

Bonnie hadn't expected Vegapunk to be waiting for her there. After a moment of stunned silence, the pent-up anger in her heart surged to her head. Her eyes were red, her fists clenched, and she stormed forward, shouting, "Vegapunk! I will never forgive you! You inhuman scientist, you actually transformed Father into that kind of thing for your own research!!"

She was initially grateful to Vegapunk for curing her chronic illness that she couldn't bear to see in the light of day, but after witnessing Kuma being transformed into a cyborg without any independent will, all her gratitude towards Vegapunk turned into hatred.

She was convinced that her father had become like that because he had been coerced by Vegapunk or had used some underhanded means.

Therefore, she was willing to do anything to find Vegapunk and have him turn her father back to his original form.

"Listen to me, Bonnie, it's not what you think."

Seeing Bonney walking towards him angrily, Vegapunk quickly raised his hands in defense.

But Bonnie, already enraged, wouldn't listen to his explanation. Her fists clenched so tightly they cracked. She was going to teach Vegapunk a lesson first!

"Prepare to die, Vegapunk!"

Bonney threw a punch, and Vegapunk, sensing the danger, quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding Bonney's blow.

"Calm down! Calm down! Let me explain, Bonnie!"

"I don't believe your lies! I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard!"

Bonnie, enraged, threw another punch.

Logically speaking, Vegapunk, who has been engrossed in research for many years, should have been physically strong enough to avoid Bonney's attack. However, whether it was due to an excessively strong will to survive or something else, he managed to dodge Bonney's punch again, albeit in a rather disheveled manner.

Seeing that Bonney was not giving him a chance to speak, Vegapunk had no choice but to turn around and run away.

But before he could take two steps, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a strong hand grabbing his collar tightly.

"I say, Dr. Vegapunk, where do you think you're going to escape to?" Nami said with a smile, looking completely harmless.

Vegapunk froze, and after looking at the crackling electricity on Nami's other hand, he smiled wryly and said, "Beautiful lady, it's not that I wanted to run away, it's just that Bonney didn't give me a chance to explain."

"Oh? Then let us hear your explanation." Nami said, stopping Bonney, who was about to beat up Vegapunk.

"Bonnie, now that we've found the person, let's ask them what's going on first."

Nami was the person who cared about her the most these past few days, so even though Bonney was furious, she still politely withdrew her fist and sneered, "Hmph! This guy must have come up with a bunch of lies to fool us!"

"It's alright, I can sense his emotions and heartbeat. If he's lying to us, these things will definitely react." Nami loosened Vegapunk's collar and smiled slightly.

Vegapunk swallowed hard, his expression stiffening. He was indeed prepared to lie to Bonnie, because he couldn't bear to let Bonnie bear such a cruel truth.

"Dr. Vegapunk, I can hear your heartbeat quickening." Nami smiled slightly at him.

"Ha, haha, I just couldn't catch my breath just now," Vegapunk forced an explanation, thinking to himself that he had to get away with it this time, or things would get complicated.

Just as he was trying to calm himself down and was about to tell the lie he had carefully crafted, Bonnie suddenly saw something and stared blankly at a spot.

Vegapunk noticed her gaze, followed it, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I remember, I remember my father used to spend a lot of time in that room."

Bonnie stared intently at a laboratory with its doors tightly shut, and her legs moved uncontrollably toward it.

not good!!

Vegapunk's heart skipped a beat, because there was something inside that Bonney absolutely could not know about!

Nami keenly noticed his change, glanced at him suspiciously, and then looked in the direction Bonney had walked.

There must be some secret inside!

Wukong looked left and right, blinked, and seemed somewhat confused.

Bonnie finally reached the laboratory door, her hand trembling as she raised it to press the switch to open the door.

At that moment, Vegapunk disregarded everything else and shouted, "Don't open it! Bonney!"

Then he rushed towards Bonnie, trying to stop her.

But he forgot that Nami was with him. Nami grabbed him again and said to Bonney, "Bonney, press it down. There's definitely a secret inside."

Bonnie took a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and resolutely pressed down.

The next second, *buzz!*

The door opened, revealing the entire room.

When Bonnie saw the room for the first time, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

A giant orange bear paw bubble floated silently on a platform.

Bonnie recognized it; only one person in the world could make these bear paw bubbles—her father, Bartholomew!
