One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 243 Vegapunk
"Boss, it's bad. Our MADS Research Institute has been blocked by the CP of the World Government on the grounds that it is endangering the world. All the researchers in the MADS Research Institute have been arrested."

A young man in a suit ran up to Du Field and reported.

"What? The damn World Government, they come to grab whatever they can get!!"

The loan shark king, Du Field, was smoking a cigarette, and was choked by his younger brother's words, so that the smoke came out of his nose.

He was planning to rely on these scientific and technological personnel to invent one or even several exclusive technologies and sell them to the whole world, just like the Wuji Pirates.

But now, everything has been messed up by the World Government!

"Boss, should we retaliate?"

When the younger brother saw his boss so angry, he couldn't help but come up with an idea.

"How do you want to retaliate? How do you want to retaliate? That's the World Government. If you want to die, don't drag me into this. No, you're going to die right now!"

After hearing what his younger brother said, Du Field became even angrier. He took out a red crystal Desert Eagle and pointed it at his ignorant younger brother!

"Boss, Boss, I'm doing this for your own good!!"

Seeing this, the younger brother immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"boom!!"

However, Du Field ignored his younger brother's pleas for mercy, pulled the trigger without hesitation, and shot the traitorous younger brother to death.

"Is the World Government something I can mess with? What an idiot!"

After firing the shot, Du Field couldn't help but curse and kicked his brother's body a few times to vent his anger.

"Welcome everyone to join the Wuji Pirates. Your remuneration is linked to your own technological level. Currently, the highest paid are Vinsmoke Judge and M. Caesar Clown."

"Here, I will first pay you three months' salary, and for the next seven days, you can all relax in Wano Country without having to work. You can come back to the laboratory to work after seven days."

Li Yuan said as he looked at the thirty scientists in front of him.

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Jiazhi and Caesar couldn't help but hold their heads high and their chins held high. They got such high treatment because of their own skills, so they were naturally very proud.

"Captain Li Yuan, I have family members outside. Can you send someone to bring them over?"

Scientist Abraham Muniz said weakly.

After knowing that the person in front of him was Li Yuan, he gave up resistance, or accepted the reality. Now he just wanted his family to come and accompany him.

Otherwise, my family members will feel very unsafe in my hometown.

"Of course. If anyone has family or friends, please tell me and fill in the specific address. I will send someone to pick them up safely. Then you can meet your family often."

After hearing what Abraham Muniz said, Li Yuan naturally agreed. Only a scientist with a concern would work wholeheartedly for the Wuji Pirates.

"I"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, many scientists hoped that Li Yuan could bring their families and friends over. After all, the Wuji Pirates were powerful and much more reliable than when they were in MADS, and they were a good backer.

After meeting these scientists and talking to them, Li Yuan left.

Soon after, one by one, his subordinates came and took these scientists around Wano Country.

"Wash, ugh ...

"Jizhi, let's go in and see what the legendary flower house in Wano Country looks like!"

When Caesar saw beautiful women in glamorous clothes and tattered clothes standing in the brothel to welcome guests, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately pulled Jiazhi in.

Jiazhi originally didn't want to go, but Caesar was too strong and the flower girl was so charming that he had to accompany Caesar to take a look.

After Li Yuan left, he brought Yadina to Xia Qi's mirror space, where Vegapunk was imprisoned by Xia Qi, but Vegapunk has not yet woken up from his coma.

"Wake up Vegapunk!"

As Li Yuan spoke, ultrasonic waves surged into Vegapunk's mind, breaking the hypnosis on Vegapunk and waking him up from his deep sleep.

"It's you? Li Yuan from the Wuji Pirates!"

When Vegapunk saw Li Yuan, he recognized him at a glance, and also realized that it was Li Yuan who snatched him away from the World Government.

"Vegapunk, as you can see, it was me, Li Yuan, who snatched you away. I want you to work for me, but you seem to be very angry when you see me."

Li Yuan's observation Haki clearly sensed Vegapunk's malice towards him. He was very puzzled by what he heard.

He and Vegapunk shouldn't know each other, so why did Vegapunk have such strong malice towards him? It was as if he had killed his son and wife.

"Humph, forget it. I won't work for you, nor will I do any research for you!"

After hearing what Li Yuan said, Vegapunk became even angrier.

"Oh? Can you tell me the reason?" Li Yuan asked in a flat tone.

But Yadina and Xia Qi, who were very familiar with Li Yuan, knew that Li Yuan was really angry at this time.

"Humph, the Wuji Pirates manufactured and sold a large amount of arms, causing many countries around the world to fall into war and chaos. Countless people died as a result, and even several of my friends died from the arms manufactured by the Wuji Pirates!"

"I, Vegapunk, will never work for someone like you who will only bring disaster to the world!"

Vegapunk accused angrily.

"I see!"

After listening to Vegapunk's words, Li Yuan finally understood that Vegapunk was a peace-loving person and his greatest wish was world peace.

In Vegapunk's eyes, the Infinite Pirates are thieves in this world, the representatives of evil, and the origin of many wars in the world. If he works for the Infinite Pirates, he would be helping the Infinite Pirates to bring disaster to the world, and he would never do such a thing.

"You reject me, aren't you afraid of death?"

Li Yuan's tone turned cold, and his domineering aura enveloped Vegapunk, causing him to kneel on the ground.

For him, if Vegapunk cannot be used by him, then it is absolutely impossible for the World Government to use it!
"For me, I'm never afraid of death!"

Vegapunk's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke with difficulty.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Vegapunk still refused to work for him, Li Yuan snorted coldly, and the ultrasonic waves once again flowed into his mind to hypnotize him.

"Write down all your research results in MADS!"

Li Yuan asked someone to bring a pen and paper and spoke to Vegapunk.

After being hypnotized, Vegapunk immediately picked up a pen and paper and began to write.

Just because Vegapunk is unwilling to work for him doesn't mean that Li Yuan can't obtain the other party's experimental results.

If Li Yuan had not had the means to recycle the devil fruit, he would have reclaimed Vegapunk's Brain-Brain Fruit without hesitation and then given it to a scientist loyal to him to eat.

"Yadina, can your ability summon the consciousness of two people?"

Li Yuan asked Yadina beside him. Yadina had eaten the Wisdom Fruit. Theoretically, this kind of thing should be possible. After all, the Surgery Fruit could do it, so there was no reason why the Wisdom Fruit couldn't do it.

"Not yet, but I believe that in a few years, once I have developed the Wisdom Fruit to a sufficient level, I should be able to do it."

Yadina said.

"Okay then. Once you've developed it, Yadina, you can swap the consciousness of a person with that of Vegapunk. Since Vegapunk refuses to submit to me, let a scientist who is loyal to us use this body."

Li Yuan said.

"Husband, why do you attach so much importance to a Vegapunk?"

Xia Qi asked somewhat puzzled.

Even if this scientist is amazing, so what? They have many amazing scientists in the Wuji Pirates, and they brought back many scientists from MADS this time. Could it be that they are not as good as Vegapunk?
"Because he possesses the Brain-Brain Fruit, which can give a person the most powerful brain. It allows him to research technology that is five hundred years ahead of this world, and can shorten the development time of our Wuji Pirates by several decades."

Li Yuan explained.

In this world, perhaps the power of science and technology cannot become the top-level combat force, but it allows the middle and lower-level combat forces to take shape quickly and possesses strong war potential.

Pluto is right below Wano Country. Some fishmen have been sent down to the sea to look for him. It won’t take a few years to find Pluto.

But Li Yuan guessed that Pluto should be in a state of energy shortage like the King of Heaven. It is even a question whether Pluto can continue to be used after eight hundred years.

If you want to study Pluto, you can only rely on Vegapunk, the powerful scientist who possesses the Brain-Brain Fruit. It is almost impossible for others to study ancient times.

Even in the future, after he gets the design drawings of Pluto, he will have to rely on Vegapunk's technology to transform his Hades into a new generation of Pluto!
"So that's it!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Xia Qi finally understood that Vegapunk was different from other scientists, just like Li Yuan was different from other swordsmen.

"Oh, right, Xia Qi, ask Lazili to come and give Vegapunk some treatment to maintain his body functions. Don't let him die from any accident."

"And Yadina, use your ability to give Vegapunk psychological hints so that he won't commit suicide. Then we can hypnotize him together. This will be safer."

Looking at Vegapunk who was writing down the results of his experiments, Li Yuan suddenly thought of the possibility that Vegapunk would commit suicide.

After all, for such a proud scientist, once he knew that Li Yuan was using this method to steal his research results and even steal his body, he would definitely choose to commit suicide.

"it is good!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Xia Qi and Yadina realized the importance of Vegapunk and immediately took action.
