From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 24 Vegapunk, the Man Who Can Change the Future

"In a world with supernatural powers, whenever people think of strength, the first thing that comes to mind is the powerful beings of this ocean."

"But as I just told you, the power to erase the physical meaning of the Valley of God is something that even the Pirate King Roger or Rocks could only escape from."

Kevin's gaze sharpened slightly as he continued, "You also know that person. You even recruited him back in the Self-Defense Forces era, but it's clear he thought you were too poor."

Uh!

Dorrag was taken aback, but he couldn't shake off the label of being poor.

The first time they met in Loguetown, it was because of poverty that she was willing to have a meeting with Kevin.

But if you don't like it...

The next moment, Dragon paused, stunned: "Vegapunk? Mads' key researcher!"

Kevin nodded slightly: "The Devil Fruit's ability allows him to store a vast amount of knowledge in his mind. Coupled with his outstanding scientific research ability, in my opinion, he is the one who can change the future."

In silence, Dragon pondered Vegapunk's importance.

In fact, he already valued Vegapunk to a certain extent, but he hadn't considered the possibility of him becoming the center of world change.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Kevin smiled as he spoke.

In this world where the technology tree has gone a bit off-track, cola can be used as a power source, and bubbles can envelop people and float them into the air, or envelop ships and dive into the Fishman Island thousands of meters below the surface.

Whether it's the pitiful jet propulsion in a can of cola or the immense pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters underwater, dynamics and physics have been completely distorted.

Vegapunk, however, was able to use these to create a near-eternal energy source: the Mother Spark.

It's important to understand that what was erased from the Isle of God was the island itself, but after the Mother Flame was taken over by Im on Mary Geoise, the erasure of the Kingdom of Lulusia even caused a hole to appear in the sea, which showed no signs of being filled or restored for months.

That attack was probably already very close to the Earth's core.

"No matter how strong an individual is, even with my teleportation ability, how many places can they manage in a day? The pirates planted their flags because they were too busy to cover everything."

Kevin continued, "But the power of technology is different. It can arm all the oppressed civilians who rise up in resistance, it can block such attacks with energy, and it can ensure that civilians live a life without energy after the war is won."

"These things...neither you, nor I, nor any powerful individual can do them. Only technology can change this world."

Even after he finished speaking, Dragon was still somewhat puzzled, but that didn't stop him from wanting Vegapunk.

"That guy should be not far from the entrance to the new world, Punk Hazard. If it were you and me, we should be able to sneak in silently."

Kevin shook his head slightly: "No. He won't come with us now. If we forcibly take him away, we won't be able to support his research."

"Can things change within a year?" Dragon asked.

"Within a year? Given the revolutionary army's rapid development pace, money will only become increasingly scarce. How could there possibly be any major changes?"

Kevin let out a sigh of relief: "Moreover, establishing an institution like the research institute requires many things that money can't simply buy. Vegapunk understands this, which is why he wants to join the World Government."

"You've probably heard the story of the Grand Line's Big Liar, right? That golden city really existed, but it was carried to the sky by ocean currents and became a sky island."

"Your abilities are suited for this task. The funds needed for the development and scientific research of the revolutionary army over the next ten years will require your assistance."

Golden City?

The legend that the entire city was made of gold—it's actually true!

Having assigned all the tasks, big and small, to this revolutionary army commander, Kevin also needed to leave.

Before that, take Big Bear and Ginny to the transit station in the West Sea, trade with Raymond, and then send the supplies to various places.

Afterwards, Big Bear and Ginny went to their respective armies and began their underground activities in the new country.

Kevin didn't return to the World Government's ship until nearly dawn the next day.

The wailing in the prison space will continue for more than two days, and the next golden treasure chest will not open for another two days.

"Bang!"

The shadow clone dissipated into smoke, and Kevin carefully stored away all the equipment belonging to the Fire Seed.

"call……"

After exhaling, Kevin closed his eyes and rested for a while.

It took half a year to combine what I learned from the lecturer in my previous life with the basics of revolution, and then I finished the lecture in one night, which also had a very good effect.

However, while Vegapunk can rely on the Golden City for money, certain special resources may still need to be obtained from someone on this ship.

Spandam was a sycophant and a master of greed.

Rem, who manages the special transit station in the West Sea, yearns for power. Spandam, on the other hand, craves power and money.

He needs money to curry favor with his Celestial Dragon superiors in order to gain more power, and with Kuzan taking the blame as an initial step in their cooperation, it might be worth making contact.

……

The Revolutionary Army has not yet attracted the attention of the World Government, but the emergence of the Bloodline Factor has brought Vegapunk into the spotlight.

So how can we make this guy disappear legitimately?

The Flying Thunder God ability from the Golden Treasure Chest, or the attribute card that enhances mental will, is indeed very good, but the Shadow Clone ability that I got from the Silver Treasure Chest is the one I've been using the most recently.

Perhaps we should open a batch of Bronze and Silver level characters; many abilities from different worlds have special effects in the world of One Piece.

……

the next day.

The World Government's ship was already heading towards Reverse Mountain, and the two people who had been acting strangely before were now standing at the bow of the ship, chatting happily.

Just from Spandam's laughter, you could tell he was in a very good mood.

The mission to capture the descendants of Pirate King Roger failed, but the blame was ultimately placed on the Navy, and the Five Elders have already given an explanation.

It was this young man in front of him who reminded him of this, and now he's rushing to give him gifts and money. How could he not be happy with such a promising young man?!

As for buying and selling supplies, as long as the resale of goods can make money, the authorities won't care about such small things.

But as long as I take another step forward... these things will all become insignificant.

I know exactly what those people like, since I like them too.

I'm begging you all to continue reading! I'm begging you all to continue reading!
