Pirates: Build a high wall from the East China Sea.

Chapter 268 No Guarantee for Late Night
Xia Che came to the experimental island.

After hearing what Robin said, he originally planned to go out and hide for two days, but after thinking about it, if he ran away at this time, wouldn’t it be telling Teacher Zefa that he knew there would be a problem from the beginning?
If Teacher Zefa knew about this, he would get a beating, right?

So, after thinking about it... he decided not to hide anymore.

After hearing that Teacher Zefa had also come to the experimental island, probably to ask Lao Bei if he could change the color, he came over directly.

As soon as I opened the door of the laboratory by scanning my face, I heard the somewhat angry voice of Teacher Zefa and the slightly helpless voice of Lao Bei.

"Can't you really change the color? Isn't this fruit created by you?"

"I'm sorry, this was originally a failure, so I didn't hand it over to the World Government. I didn't expect that you would eat it."

"Is there really no way?"

"Actually, think about it... Even though it's a failure, this color is pretty nice, isn't it?"

"This color... I am too old to lose face like this!"

While the two were talking.

At this time.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

"What color? What color is too embarrassing for Mr. Zefa?"

As soon as these words fell.

Hearing the familiar voice, Teacher Zefa, who was seeking help from Lao Bei, raised his eyebrows immediately, then turned around, with an angry expression on his face, staring at Xia Che, "You stinky boy finally showed up..."

however.

Before Mr. Zefa could finish his words.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Xia Che looked at Teacher Zefa with a nervous face. "After hearing Robin say that Teacher Zefa had a problem, I rushed over immediately. Teacher Zefa, what is the problem? Can Lao Bei solve it? I heard a dragon roar last night. Could it be that something went wrong after you ate that artificial devil fruit? Oh no!"

He slapped his thigh hard with a regretful tone.

"I knew there might be something wrong with this artificial devil fruit. I didn't expect it to actually go wrong. I should have stopped Zephyr-sensei at the time."

Then, he looked at Teacher Zefa worriedly and said anxiously, "What's the problem with Teacher Zefa? Can it be solved? Don't worry, Teacher Zefa, don't be afraid, I will definitely help you find a solution. If it doesn't work, I will find Luo and we will directly replace the problematic part!"

That anxious tone, that nervous look.

Zefa, who was about to settle the score with this kid, suddenly fell silent.

Especially when he saw the worried look on this boy's face, his original anger instantly disappeared, and his heart warmed slightly. He sighed, patted Xia Che's shoulder, and said, "Don't be nervous, there's nothing wrong, it's just a minor problem."

Come to think of it...it was indeed his own choice at the time. No one else had eaten this artificial devil fruit, so how could Xia Che know what was wrong with it?

He really shouldn't blame the kid.

Thinking of this, Teacher Zefa felt even more guilty. He was already old, why was he still making these children worry about him?
Besides, this devil fruit is not very stable and has some issues with its color.

The others are pretty good too.
After eating it, he could clearly feel that his physique had improved.

"Sorry for making you worry!"

"Is it really okay, Mr. Zefa?" Xia Che still looked at Mr. Zefa worriedly and said, "If there is a problem, don't hide it from me! Just tell me directly, and it will be good for us to think of a solution together!"

"No problem, no problem, don't worry! Hahaha, it's all my fault. I did make you worried!"

"My worries are just small matters. Zefa-sensei's problems are big matters! Since Zefa-sensei has come to me, I have to take good care of him!"

"You, kid... have been like this since you were a child."

Hearing Xia Che's worried and nervous words, even though he said that, he was still so worried, which made Zefa feel even more guilty.

"Just take care of yourself, don't worry about me!"

"Is it really okay?"

"It's really no problem. Why are you so fussy today?"

"Aren't I worried about Mr. Zefa?"

"I told you not to worry about me, kid!"

Just when the two of them had a strong master-disciple relationship.

aside...

"..."X5
Vegapunk and his four clones all watched the scene in silence.

"Does this kid really not know?" Old Bei twitched his lips, put his hands behind his back, connected to the Vegapunk network, and said, "Why do I feel that this guy definitely knows!" "From your memory... our boss got a lot of secret information from somewhere." Shakya, who represents [Integrity], connected to the network and said seriously, "So, according to my analysis, even if the boss knows that after eating this devil fruit, the ability user will turn pink, it is not surprising."

"I agree with Zhengzhi's analysis." Pythagoras, who represents [Wisdom], also nodded. "You know, the boss knows even the private secrets of the Pirate Queen. Therefore, it is not surprising that the boss knows about the problem of this artificial devil fruit!"

"Um..." Atlas, who represented [Rage], hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Is it really okay for us to arrange the BOSS here?"

only.

Lao Bei and his other clones ignored her.

They all narrowed their eyes, watching the touching master-disciple relationship together, and said in unison in the Vegapunk network, "So, we can conclude that this guy (BOSS) is definitely acting!"

At this time.

"Is it really okay?" Xia Che also sighed and shook his head, still looking at Teacher Zefa worriedly, "Then what is the matter with you coming to see me? And why did you come here? You didn't lie to me on purpose to stop me from worrying!"

"This, old man..." Hearing Xia Che's question again, Teacher Zefa's old face turned slightly red, and he looked conflicted and depressed, but he opened his mouth for a long time without uttering a word.

Finally, seeing Xia Che's worried look, he sighed helplessly, "Really don't worry, it's just that there's a little problem with the color!"

"Color? What's the problem?"

"This, this...I just don't like this color very much!"

"You just don't like the color?" Xia Che looked at Teacher Zefa suspiciously, frowned and said, "Teacher Zefa, are you lying to me? I don't remember you being such a pretentious person!"

"..."

"Don't lie to me on purpose just to stop me from worrying!" Looking at the silent Teacher Zefa, Xia Che said earnestly, "Teacher Zefa! You are already old, why are you still so ignorant? If there is a problem, just speak up. Don't let a small problem turn into a big one. We can all work together to find a solution!"

"There's really no problem. Why are you so worried?"

"I'm concerned about you, Mr. Zefa. If you're like this, I'm even more worried!" Xia Che looked at Mr. Zefa seriously, "Unless I can see it with my own eyes, I won't feel at ease! Mr. Zefa!"

"???"

Hearing Xia Che's request, Zefa's mouth twitched and his face darkened. "I've already said that it's just a problem with the color. You don't have to worry about it."

"Why are you so secretive about just the color? I don't remember Mr. Zefa being such a shy person!" Xia Che frowned and looked at Mr. Zefa, his eyes becoming even more worried as he said, "Is there really any serious problem? I deserve to die! I should have stopped Mr. Zefa at that time. If something happened to Mr. Zefa, how would I face Ain, Binzi and the others!"

"Old man, I..." Looking at Xia Che who was blaming himself again, Zefa raised his eyelids and fell silent.

Finally, seeing Xia Che blaming himself more and more, and even beginning to regret, Zefa sighed helplessly and said, "It's really just a color problem. It's really my fault for making a fuss. Well, since you want to see it, just look at it!"

Having said that, he turned his head and walked towards the spacious space used for experiments at the back of the laboratory with a serious face.

Xia Che's eyes lit up slightly, then quickly turned back to worry, and hurriedly followed behind Teacher Zefa, while Lao Bei and the other four people... also followed.

Not a moment.

The group of people came to the spacious experimental site and looked at Zefa together. Teacher Zefa couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he was being watched by so many people.

But he was not a coy person. Even though it might be embarrassing, he had already made up his mind and would not hesitate any longer.

After sighing, in an instant... under the gaze of everyone, Teacher Zefa's body began to change.

Immediately afterwards...

"roar~"

A dragon roared.

In just a blink of an eye.

A huge pink dragon appeared above the test site.

The people watching couldn't help but fall silent.

then.

Vegapunk: I told you it was a failure!
Shakya: This color... is indeed not suitable for Mr. Zefa!

Edison: ...

Pythagoras: Actually... the most important thing is ability, whether it can perfectly replicate the original ability.

Atlas: I think pink looks pretty good!
Xia Che suppressed the smirk on his face and nodded: Atlas is right, Teacher Zefa, don't worry, this color actually suits you very well!

Everyone was talking, and Zefa's pink dragon face suddenly darkened, with a hint of melancholy in his sad eyes...

The integrity of the later years is lost!

There is no guarantee for the late festival!
