The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"Eh eh eh?!!"

Luffy was stunned: "This is way too big!!"

"Even if we are far apart, we can use this antenna to connect the emitted radio waves without any problem!"

Vegapunk explained calmly, "You just encountered that girl who calls herself Vegapunk, didn't you?"

"That's my clone. There are six of me on this island!"

"A ninja?!?"

Luffy's eyes lit up, "The kind that knows the Ninja Clone Technique?!"

Well, in his limited understanding, that's the only view he has.

"They are all experts in their respective fields."

Vegapunk completely ignored Luffy, that idiot, and continued talking to himself:

"Each of them is responsible for my necessary work, and I will record and synchronize my experience once a day through Punk."

"Because everyone's personality and tasks are different, each person's experience is valuable!"

Luffy:"……"

Now that you put it that way, I don't understand anymore.

He looked completely bewildered.

"Are they all using the same brain?!"

Jinbe, on the other hand, exclaimed in amazement, "This is truly an incomprehensible world!!"

Vegapunk's genius has surpassed the comprehension of ordinary people!

To better understand, he simply used the concept of a library to explain his technique.

"To give an example, if anyone had access to my brain, then all of humanity could learn my knowledge."

"Furthermore, if all of humanity (Qian Le Zhao) could upload data to the Punk Records..."

He suddenly spread his arms wide, his face filled with fervor, and exclaimed, "It's possible to create an ocean of knowledge far exceeding the capacity of my brain!!!"

"One day, humans will be able to share brains!!"

Such lofty ambitions were fatally attractive to Chopper, a little reindeer who thirsted for other medical knowledge.

That one sentence completely shattered his mental defenses.

"Can medicine from the previous world also learn from each other?!"

His eyes sparkled with golden light as he looked on with great anticipation.

"Of course!!" Vegapunk replied with equal certainty!

821 A failed experiment?! Is this a Devil Fruit? It looks delicious!

"Wow, that's so cool!!"

Chopper happily took off right there, but Jinbe's expression showed a hint of worry:

"If we even include ideas, wouldn't that raise ethical issues?"

"Quite insightful, isn't he? Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea!"

Vegapunk gave a casual laugh: "But if we're always worrying about these things, science can't progress."

"Of course, it would be a good thing if we could solve these problems after completing the experiment."

At this point, Vegapunk looked at the Straw Hat Pirates:

"So, I'm really looking forward to having a good chat with your first mate, the [Props Master]. Maybe he has a lot of tools that can solve the problems I'm currently facing."

He touched his head and smiled frankly.

Scholars' attempts to break taboos certainly require courage, but they also come at a price. It would be a good thing if these costs could be eliminated.

However, it is clear that, given Vegapunk's style, it would be best to eliminate it if possible, but if it cannot be eliminated, he will not hesitate to continue the experiment.

This should not be a reason to stop his scientific research.

Thus, Bonney once again saw through Vegapunk's so-called science:

"So this is what happened with 830, right? Vegapunk?!"

With a sorrowful expression, she pulled out the electric scalpel she had retrieved from the junkyard:

"In your pursuit of science and technology, you disregard sacrifice, which is why you transformed my father into a combat weapon devoid of human consciousness!!"

With tears in her eyes, Bonney swung her lightsaber and, catching Vegapunk completely off guard, pressed it against his neck.

"Eh eh eh?!!"

Such a "friendly" negotiating style caused Vegapunk's large tongue to stick out in mid-air:

"Stop it, Bonnie!!"

His eyes bulged out, and he screamed in terror, "This lightsaber is a failure!!"

“Shut up!!”

Bonnie remained unmoved and snapped, "I've already tested the power! Now restore my father to normal!!!"

"If you answer NO..."

Seeing that things were not going well, Jinbe tried to dissuade them.

What kind of consequences would result from killing such a person?

However, Vegapunk didn't really care about his own safety; what he cared about was something else entirely.

"Turn it off right now, Bonnie!!"

His gaze was fixed on what he called a "failed lightsaber."

"That lightsaber will attract a horde of bugs!!"

buzzing~~~

Before Vegapunk could finish speaking, the massive, dark swarm of insects had already crossed the sea and was heading straight for the island.

The swarm of insects instantly reached Bonnie.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Bonnie immediately unleashed a terrifying scream that could shatter eardrums.

The shockwave was almost visible to the naked eye, causing the swarm of insects in the sky to sway precariously, and some insects even burst open or fell to the ground.

"No! Stop it!!!"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbe, who had noticed the situation early on with their Observation Haki, covered their ears in time.

Vegapunk seized the opportunity to escape.

Boom!

Crackle!

The burst of lightning sword strikes and wild slashes, coupled with Bonnie's erratic behavior, caused considerable chaos on the scene.

Finally, after a flurry of activity, the army of flying insects had vanished.

Bonnie, on the other hand, was foaming at the mouth, lying unconscious on the ground.

Meanwhile, on Bonney's back, the carefree Luffy discovered a treasure:

"Hey Bonnie, look! It's a giant stag beetle!!"

He held the huge stag beetle in one hand, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Just like in the original game, after dealing with Bellamy, they went to the island to catch the giant longhorn beetle, wasting a lot of time.

His love for insects is indeed another major hobby besides eating meat.

Yes, Luffy will definitely be able to find common ground with X Drake, who also loves insects.

"That's not the issue, is it?!"

Upon seeing someone collapse, Chopper instinctively exclaimed in alarm:

"She's fainted! Aren't you even concerned about her?!"

And so, amidst the commotion, the farce came to an end.

Vegapunk, wiping the sweat from his brow, narrowly escaped death.

However, he himself did not feel relieved; on the contrary, he was somewhat disappointed.

"Yeah, of course, Bonnie wants to kill me, that's only natural."

He said in a low voice, "Fortunately, the weapon she was holding was a failed prototype."

But speaking of failed attempts...

"Ah? What is this?"

Nearby, Luffy, who was excited about catching the giant stag beetle, suddenly noticed something extra on the ground.

It was a round, fruit-like thing, and he couldn't help but pick it up to take a look:

"What is this? Is it an apple?"

Luffy picked it up with one hand and looked at it curiously. It had an apple-like shape, but was entirely purple.

On its surface are many yellow, button-like circular fruit patterns.

"It looks delicious!!"

Luffy, who had just eaten and was full, was now feeling hungry again.

"How can you tell that it looks delicious..."

Jinbe was somewhat speechless, while at the same time, he was also examining this peculiar fruit.

Judging from the color, shape, and pattern covering its surface, it seems somewhat similar to a Devil Fruit.

However, it doesn't have the spiral arabesque pattern that's a distinctive feature of Devil Fruits; instead, it's round.

That's a bit strange~~~

822 A perfect replica of Kaido's artificial Devil Fruit!! Is this a complete failure?

"I won't stand on ceremony!!"

Luffy licked his lips, and immediately wanted to open his mouth and take a big bite.

"Wait a moment!!"

Fortunately, Vegapunk reacted quickly and stepped forward to stop him.

"This isn't just any ordinary fruit after a meal; it's an artificial Devil Fruit I created!!!"

Artificial Devil Fruits?!

Upon hearing the words "Devil Fruit," Luffy immediately stopped in his tracks.

His face was filled with visible disgust: "So this is what it tastes like?!"

Well, his understanding of Devil Fruits mainly lies in their taste.

Completely oblivious to the fact that he had almost eaten two Devil Fruits, causing his body to explode and giving him a brush with death.

"Are artificial Devil Fruits the kind that Kaido's soldiers ate in Wano Country?"

Chopper was also immediately surprised, looking at the apple in Luffy's hand with wariness and suspicion, as if it were some kind of poison.
