Ignite the fire from the pirates

This made Dorag a little embarrassed.

It seems that everyone knows about the poverty of the Self-Defense Forces period. When Roger Zhen met Kevin for the first time, he was also complained about.

But now...

After obtaining the gold from the Golden City, the Revolutionary Army had never fought such a rich war. With more money in hand, they were naturally more confident.

"The Revolutionary Army and the Self-Defense Force are no longer the same. How about you help us? Vegapunk."

Vegapunk, with his huge head sticking out of the sky, still refused: "Scientific research does not only require money, many resources are controlled by those people, and my research needs their resources.

At this time, Kevin, who had been waiting, replied: "It's not like we don't have people in the World Government. Those people on Mary Geoise don't care about this at all. They think too highly of themselves."

"In addition to money, I also have books written down by O'Hara. Among them are many translated records about the great kingdom eight hundred years ago."

The great kingdom of eight hundred years ago?

And O'Hara's knowledge?

Vegapunk froze in place.

Kevin continued, "You guessed it right. Before the Demon Slayer Order and the World Government's investigation began, I transferred O'Hara's books and some of the scholars."

"We also rescued two civilian refugee ships. The news should have spread to the navy."

Refuge ship?

Vegapunk frowned at what was specifically pointed out, but he also knew the style of the World Government before this.

Shaking his head slightly, Vegapunk replied: "A large part of the navy is righteous, I think..."

Before he could finish, Kevin appeared in front of him and met his eyes.

"What do you want to do? Persuade them to stand up against Marijoa together? Do you think it's possible?"

Kevin continued, "You want O'Hara's knowledge to bring back the technology of the ancient kingdom from eight hundred years ago. But you should know exactly where your research will be used in the end."

"You may be the only one who ate the Brain-Brain Fruit in this ocean, but it doesn't take a very smart brain just to prevent you from betraying us."

After the words were spoken, the three people in the ruins fell silent for a moment.

Kevin and Dragon were both waiting for Vegapunk's response, while Vegapunk was also thinking about Kevin's words.

Funding and a certain foundation are necessary. The revolutionary army does not have such a foundation, and the resources needed for subsequent research may not be maintained.

"I want to gain O'Hara's knowledge, but I still need to stay in the World Government."

"hehe."

Kevin sneered at this answer: "It's impossible. Even your existence itself is the biggest variable in the future. Anyone else can make the same choice and just kill them after becoming an enemy. But you...if this is your final answer, then I can only choose the action I think is right."

Dorag on the side narrowed his eyes slightly.

Vegapunk wiped the cold sweat from his huge head and asked, "What action?"

Kevin's voice gradually turned cold: "The ability of the Brain-Brain Fruit may have reached its peak because of you, but if such peak ability will help the enemy, then forcibly taking you away here is the best option."

"MADS has more than one scientist like you. You may be the smartest and the one most aligned with our position. But if there is no other way, extracting the ability of the Brain-Brain Fruit and choosing someone we can control is the best solution for us."

draw?

"You've mastered the technique to extract Devil Fruit powers?! How is that possible?"

Vegapunk's train of thought shifted, and his focus shifted from his own life and death to research.

Kevin did not answer his question, but sighed and said, "It seems you have made up your mind."

Just as he was about to take him away, Dorag, who had been frowning, spoke hurriedly.

"Mr. Spark!"

"Ok?"

Dragon looked at Vegapunk: "I won't allow you to do this."

Kevin asked in a deep voice, "What's the reason? You should know that even if you are the commander, if more than half of the people in the expansion meeting object, you still need to abide by the set rules."

Dragon nodded to show that he understood: "I just want to make it clear that Vegapunk is not our enemy."

Not an enemy?

Kevin doesn't agree with this.

In the future in memory, perhaps Vegapunk's position is indeed consistent with theirs, but his research results are one of the biggest threats.

The "weapon" in Im's hand on Mary Geoise was enough to completely wipe out the Kingdom of Lulucia from the sea with just one strike, and even caused earthquakes and tsunamis all over the world, causing the sea level to rise...

It is precisely with the blessing of the mother fire developed by Vegapunk that the ability to sustain endurance is achieved.

Yes, in Vegapunk's original idea, Mother Fire was a research project to provide unlimited energy for the entire world.

But if this thing falls into Im's hands, it will only become a force to maintain the Celestial Dragons' continued rule over the world.

In this world with supernatural powers, bottom-up change is inherently difficult, and most of it even relies on domineering settings.

But what if it’s Roger’s domineering attitude?

Can Kaido, who will be called the strongest creature on land in the future and whose barrier fruit ability cannot be broken even by Oden's sword, withstand the blow that will destroy the Kingdom of Lulucia?

How can it be? !

Kevin cannot, as a commander who leads change, leave the lives of countless fellow travelers behind him to future coincidences or the carelessness of his opponents because of the kindness in his heart.

"Dorag..."

Kevin's eyes were just as firm under his mask: "What do you think revolution is? Can those guys in Marijoa surrender just by holding hands and singing? Or do you think your peace of mind is worth the lives you will sacrifice in the future?"

For the first time, the two had a disagreement.

It was even the first time that Kevin's voice was filled with sarcasm.

"I told you a long time ago that bottom-up reform is difficult and bloody. He is not a jerk. With the Brain-Brain Fruit and his talent, Vegapunk alone can be as powerful as the entire navy, you know?"

The entire navy?

Dorag, who was about to move forward, stopped. Such words also made him a little doubtful.

He knew the importance of Vegapunk, but could he be as important as the entire navy...

You have to know that the highest combat power of the navy, including the marshal and the old man, and the three admirals who will be promoted later, that's five. There are also many alternate admirals and lieutenant generals behind them.

is it possible?

But this is the future Kevin talked about, and it is also a warning to Dragon as a spark.

The scene in Rogue Town flashed through his mind again, as well as the Vegapunk ship coming to O'Hara today.

Extrapolation? Or seeing the future?

……

At this time, Kevin's hand was already on Vegapunk's shoulder.

The black spatial coordinates flashed by.

Originally, the coordinates should have been placed on his head, but Kevin did not issue a warning when he thought that this guy would later split his big head and the coordinates might be transferred.

"Well...actually we can talk about this."

Kevin shook his head slightly: "No need to discuss. In fact, even if I let you go to the Navy, I am certain that I can take you away as quickly as possible when you want to leave."

"But even so, I can't guarantee that you won't bring them the power of technology. And then you will be out of my sight, and it will be up to you to decide when to leave. In this case, any decision you make during this period is possible."

Vegapunk sighed: "In this case, what is the difference between you and them?"

When their eyes met, Kevin did not dodge at all.

"The difference is that in the Revolutionary Army, you can research technology that is truly used for energy, and you can design defensive weapons... For example, you can cover islands with energy shields to prevent sudden attacks from the sky."

Kevin thought of Im's attack again: "In fact, what I can see is that the energy you researched was used in a weapon that destroyed an island. It is also because of your research that their weapons make up for the limitation of insufficient energy."

Vegapunk was stunned.

See?

Special abilities?

After a while he sighed, looked at Kevin and then at Dorag.

"If the research equipment and funds do not satisfy me, I will eventually leave the Revolutionary Army."

Vegapunk and Kevin looked at each other and said, "I have seen too much suffering, and I have also seen the inner transformation of a person after reaching a high position. I am just a scientist. I can study technology but I cannot study the human heart."

"They are the evil dragons of this world, but their perspectives will naturally change after they are in a high position. Endless energy will be used by the rulers to rule, and it will also make resources endless. The bottom layer... is also endless after all."

Doragg on the side denied his words.

"Endless energy... But those who build pleasure on pain never consider themselves human. Your idea is wrong."

Is it wrong?

Vegapunk, who was forced to a certain extent, did not think deeply. He turned around and looked at the Tree of All-Knowing: "That old guy chose to stay, right? Compared to him, I am much worse."

Kevin put one hand on the mask, took it a short distance away and bent over.

"It's not just Dr. Clover. All the scholars who chose to stay know what they will face. But their research has been discovered by the World Government. There can't be only one or two scholars in O'Hara."

"In order to leave a flame for the future, they made their own choice. They chose to die and hide the remaining scholars and the precious knowledge."

After some reminiscence, Dragon and Vegapunk were taken away by Kevin.

O'Hara, in ruins, fell silent again. There was only a pile of corpses of World Government agents, and no one paid any attention to them.

"Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu..."

The Den Den Mushi rang, but no one answered.

-

[Note: Sardin and other giants did not appear this time, because Olivia was not arrested, and therefore not rescued by Sauro. They only fired at the demon-killing order, so there was naturally no scene of retrieving the book.]

Chapter 74 The Second Celestial Dragon

Marie Gioia, Between the Powers.

"Vegapunk is missing."

"All the CPs escorted from Punk Hazard to O'Hara were killed in front of the Tree of All-Knowing in O'Hara."

"He knew the old man from O'Hara, but who took him away?"

"No matter who he is, Vegapunk must be found. He is the only one in MADS who is the real core."

"According to the CP's report, the interval was not long, but no ship left the waters near O'Hara."

"After the Sabaody Archipelago incident, this group of ants seems to have begun to change. Perhaps it won't be long before another major purge is underway."

"Hasn't the person with the ability of the Mimic Fruit at CP been found out yet?"

"After that, there was the O'Hara incident, where they stopped Sakaski, but they just asked the refugee ship to leave and did not come into contact with them."

“This feeling is not good…”

"Without D, perhaps he is just a guy who hates the Celestial Dragons, not the successor of their will."

"In addition... in some countries of the Grand Line, an armed force called the Revolutionary Army has emerged."

"Last time, a member country has already reported it. Let's investigate it. If it's convenient, we can raise them. Some of the bugs are starting to become disobedient."

……

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"boom!"

Zhan Guo slammed a document on the table, causing the signalman who had just come in to report to collapse to the ground.

The domineering aura at that moment was more than he could bear.

"Shiki."

The document contained a report on the escape of Shiki the Golden Lion, the first criminal to escape from Impel Down in many years.

The power of the Float-Float Fruit is too great an advantage on the sea, and not everyone has the determination to cut off one's own legs.

The ability to fly also meant that the Navy Headquarters couldn't even provide support. Even with Borsalino's speed, the enemy would have disappeared by the time they got there.
