One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

As he listened to Spandam's report, Nassuro Sei's heart sank once again.

The first person should definitely be Sentomaru, Vegapunk's bodyguard.

And this second person, if nothing unexpected happens, should be Vegapunk's clone... York.

Then the problem is coming.

Did York actually expose himself?

If not, there seems to be hope of reclaiming Vegapunk.

The worst outcome would be that everyone would have 'Vegapunk'.

But if York's defection to the World Government has been exposed, then there will be no chance at all.

Nasujiro suddenly began to doubt whether Trafalgar Law was really that important to the Yonko Abel.

Is it possible that all of this was just a pretext to divert their attention and energy?

His true purpose, from beginning to end, was Vegapunk?!

Chapter 921 MADS2.0

Before the Navy's well-thought-out scheme could even take effect, Abel led his men to seize Vegapunk, delivering a crushing blow to the World Government!

This really hit them where it hurt, giving them a real blow.

Moreover, it's the kind of suffering you can't express, the kind where you have to swallow your bitterness and grit your teeth.

The four elders were so angry that their livers ached.

There wasn't much else they could do; they could only hope that they would win the battle at Marineford, the naval headquarters, in a few days.

In that case, all problems will cease to be problems.

Heavenly gold, Vegapunk, and all the lost face... I can get them all back.

And if you prepare so much, but still fail.

Then the only option is to use that power.

……

The Dragon Hunter Guild has the largest sphere of influence in the New World.

This is because it was the result of absorbing the forces of both the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.

Therefore, giving Vegapunk an island as an experimental base is not a problem at all.

Even Judge and his companions couldn't say anything about it.

After the old colleagues met, apart from Caesar Courant, the rest of them had a pleasant chat.

Looking back on the days when we formed the illegal research team MADS and did scientific research together, I feel a mix of emotions, including regret and nostalgia.

As they chatted, even Caesar, who initially seemed to have eyes and a nose that didn't look like eyes or a nose, couldn't help but join in the conversation.

Of course, nobody took his self-proclaimed "supreme authority on weapons of mass destruction" seriously.

Then he questioned Vegapunk about how he had shown no mercy by having the Navy arrest him.

Since Vegapunk was able to do something like that back then, it must have been because Caesar crossed his bottom line.

So even if this matter is brought up now, he will still have the same attitude.

He also revealed all the shady things Caesar had done, which made Judge and Queen look at him with disdain.

Caesar was so angry that he trembled all over and almost had a real-life fight with Vegapunk!

Judge and Queen intervened and smoothed things over.

Vegapunk, out of consideration for Abel and his old colleague, didn't reopen old wounds and instead talked about their experiences after they separated over the years.

This instantly opened up a floodgate of conversation in everyone.

After all, everyone's life trajectory was changed after MADS disbanded.

But now they've reunited because of someone else, isn't that also a kind of fate?

Maybe they really can rebuild MADS2.0!

Abel didn't send anyone to disturb them. Instead, he sent people to prepare delicious food and drinks so that they could catch up in peace.

After all, strictly speaking, Vegapunk was stolen by him.

Although I agreed to work for him for 10 years and focus on my research.

But wouldn't it be better if we could give them a sense of belonging?

Playing the emotional card with colleagues is just the first move!

To Abel's surprise, the four of them actually chatted together for a whole day, and even at the end, they were still reluctant to stop.

Although Caesar still harbored some resentment towards Vegapunk, he also knew that Vegapunk's importance was even greater than his own.

If you really act out, you probably won't get any benefits.

So I came to terms with it.

Of course, it wasn't because Abel's promised research funding arrived, and even doubled!

Quinn was also very happy, as his authority had been elevated to the same level as Caesar's.

Not only can they apply for research funding, but they can also start their own research projects.

It's no longer the miserable life of being exploited and forced to do odd jobs by Judge at the beginning.

Judge wasn't unhappy, after all, he had vented all his anger.

He and Queen weren't mortal enemies; their conflict was even less intense than that between Caesar and Vegapunk.

In addition, he had known this day would come, so he was indifferent to it and even happy for Quinn.

This kind of scientific research environment made Vegapunk very comfortable.

I've developed a preliminary liking for this place.

Then he met Nicole Robin, the last survivor of Ohara.

It's unclear what the two talked about in the room, but all that's known is that Robin's face was covered in tears when she left.

But beneath the tears was a resolute smile!

It turns out she wasn't alone all along.

Besides her, there are others in this world who, like her, are searching for the truth behind that hundred-year-old blank history!

Furthermore, Vegapunk stated that he would reprint all the documents and books left behind by Ohara and return them to Robin, his sole heir.

This is not difficult.

Because all the information and books were memorized in Vegapunk's mind without any error.

After placing it in the [Punk Records], you can then transfer and print it.

In a sense, the separated brain can already be seen as a kind of supercomputer processor, similar to a supercomputer.

Robin was naturally incredibly excited when she heard this.

However, due to her years of wandering and hardship, Robin is not so trusting of others.

Therefore, she did not tell Vegapunk about the historical texts she had deciphered.

Perhaps one day, when she feels completely trustworthy, she will tell him these historical texts and together they will search for the truth behind the missing hundred years of history.

But certainly not now.

Vegapunk, however, didn't mention this topic at all.

This conversation with Robin gave Vegapunk a deeper understanding of Abel and the Dragon Hunter Guild.

After all, a deal is a deal, and Vegapunk doesn't want to be an accomplice to evil, letting his inventions become tools for oppressing the people.

He also uses his own eyes and ears to see, hear, and observe before deciding what to do.

As a scientist, he can produce some groundbreaking high-tech items that are 500 years ahead of the world.

Naturally, they can also 'go to great lengths' to create some useless junk or rubbish.

Are they showing up but not putting in the effort?

No, no, no, scientific research inherently involves randomness and chance, how can you say that!

You can't blame him for not getting the desired result despite trying your best.

Otherwise, the pacifists wouldn't have waited until now to build a prototype.

The world government has wanted this weapon of war for quite some time.

This wasn't the first or second time that Vegapunk had been urged.

But he still delayed as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the world government can't do anything about it.

If what he did this time hadn't truly violated a taboo, the World Government wouldn't have had the intention to kill him.

But what troubles him now is not this matter, but how to deal with York who betrayed him.

No matter what, it was a clone that I created myself, possessing the same memories as me, and was a living person.

If he were to be disposed of, it would give him the feeling that he had killed himself.

But if he continues to keep it, he can't guarantee that something like this won't happen again.

Ugh!

Chapter 922 A terrifyingly large-scale operation!

Before long, the day of Trafalgar Law's public execution arrived.
