Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue

"Thanks for reminding me, I'll definitely keep it a secret~!" Violet smiled when she heard Robin's words.

She knew that by saying this, she had no intention of hiding anything, and she understood that the devil's son was also aware of her meaning.

That's right, she now knows the true identity of the female pirate she once misunderstood... or perhaps she didn't misunderstand at all.

Unexpectedly, the son of the devil only gave her a brief reminder and then said nothing more.

“Then I won’t bother you any longer,” Violet said again. Just as she was about to turn and leave, she seemed to remember something, looked at Nico Robin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled. “Senior, may I ask you something else?”

"what's up?"

"Is that... rumor about the corrupt colonel true?"

"?!" Robin, who was reading, was taken aback and turned to look at Violet. As if she understood something, a meaningful smile appeared on her delicate face. She licked her red lips slightly and said in a seductive and playful tone, "Of course, he knows how to play!"

……

the other side.

Vegapunk Experiment Base.

“Hehe!”

"My body can't handle it!"

"???"

Why do you immediately say someone is unwell as soon as you meet them?

Don't you know any manners?

Chapter 140 Reception

"No, I just sneezed, how is that a sign of my illness?" Shache looked at Vegapunk in front of him with disdain.

Still trying to bluff him?

joke!

What is his skill level?

It's just one night, why is your body so weak?

Not to mention the changes that have occurred during this time. He has already been promoted and received a raise, rising two levels from [Chief Clerk] to skip a major level, and is now a [Level 4 Senior Transmigrator].

How could the body not function properly after continuous strengthening?

only.

In response to Shacher's words, Vegapunk remained with his hands behind his back, calmly replying, "I heard you had a very fruitful trip this time?"

"So you wanted to increase funding! I thought it was something else! Why didn't you just say so?"

"So, BOSS, you mean..."

"Okay!" Hearing the word "BOSS" come from Vegapunk's mouth, Xia Che was in a pretty good mood. He waved his hand and said, "Just give Robin the list later if you need anything."

"Looks like you really made a fortune this time!" Vegapunk was quite surprised to see Shache being so generous, and stroked his chin. "Are the Seven Warlords of the Sea really that rich?"

The words fell.

The big bear with Bonnie beside him: ...

They fell silent and said nothing.

“I don’t know about the others, but the Donquixote Family is indeed quite wealthy.” Xia Che nodded. “After all, that guy does business with no capital, and he’s accumulated quite a bit of money over the years. Also, you… you should be more careful with the funds. If you keep wasting them like this, I don’t think even the World Government can handle you!”

This guy……

It really works!

But it really costs a lot of money!

Especially some of his inventions... Yes, they are useful, but their applications are limited and their scope is small, so they don't have the value of generating profits.

It's even possible that Vegapunk had a sudden inspiration, created it, took a look at it, and then never used it again, leaving it to gather dust in the warehouse.

For example, the first-generation unmanned cooking machine could prepare any dish within one minute, as long as the ingredients were in place.

However... it consumes a lot of energy, and the same dish requires more ingredients than a typical chef.

This machine can detect suitable ingredients on its own, and will destroy them if they are even slightly unsuitable.

The food he makes is better than that of an average chef, but not as good as that of a top chef.

One can imagine.

not to mention……

He now wants to create jobs, but he never intended to eliminate chefs.

Even Vegapunk, after eating it for two days, left the unmanned cooking machine to gather dust!

"Ah, haha, inspiration struck. I can't help it. If I don't make it, I'll keep thinking about it." Vegapunk understood his problem and stuck out his tongue a little embarrassedly, saying, "Sorry, I'll be more careful."

Indeed, after arriving here, without the supervision of the World Government, he has become somewhat unrestrained.

Although the World Government had no shortage of funds and various special materials, the World Government had strict requirements for any research that could be conducted.

Unless you fulfill the World Government's requirements, you will not be given any extra funds or time to do anything else.

This is why he later made a pact with the World Government!

I hoped that he would be given some freedom after arriving in Egherd, but as soon as we arrived in Egherd, he came here.

Of course, things were quite frugal at first, but gradually... the funding increased.

As for materials, they may not be as plentiful as those from the World Government, but there is no shortage of metals here. With Wapol around, he can manufacture all kinds of metals, even those that the World Government doesn't have!

“Alright, actually I did want to get some more funding. Since you’ve given me the funding, I won’t hide it anymore. Look at this!” Vegapunk pulled out a few small blue pills from his pocket. “Blue Bottle II. I’ve purified and enhanced the effects of the first Blue Bottle. Although the improvement isn’t huge due to the limited materials, the requirements have increased considerably. It will just be more stimulating!”

"The little blue pill?" Shache stared at the little blue pill in his hand, a strange look in his eyes. He then looked at Vegapunk and asked, "May I ask where it causes excitement?"

"Why are you asking this? Just like the previous generation, you're all excited!"

"I can ask if it can eliminate the enhancement to the body, while adding some side effects and a period of weakness. After use, you will enter a one-day period of weakness!"

"???" Vegapunk frowned, looking at Shache, and asked in confusion, "Why would you reduce the drug's effectiveness and then extend the period of weakness?"

"You can make money!"

"no problem!"

"The drug doesn't need to be too strong, just enough to keep an ordinary person going for two or three hours. You decide!" Xia Che said again, then looked at Vegapunk in front of him and asked in confusion, "But you... where's your big head?"

"I had that kid Luo cut me off last night!" Vegapunk, sporting an apple-shaped antenna, said happily, seeing that he had finally been noticed. "I was all prepared, just waiting for you guys to come back. Don't worry, I've hidden my big head, but with this antenna, I can still receive my knowledge."

"After a simple disguise, I doubt most people will guess my identity, and then I can leave. To be honest, I'm quite curious about the Red Romance that Moke keeps talking about."

Touching his chin, he asked, "What's it like exactly? That kid always says it feels incredibly comfortable!"

"..." Xia Che's face darkened.

What is that kid Moke up to?

Should we take all the officers from the 16th Naval Branch to get a foot bath?

Of course, Shache wasn't surprised that Vegapunk had cut off his own head, so he just asked about it briefly.

After all, as Vegapunk's head gets bigger and bigger, he'll eventually have to reach that point.

just.

"Congratulations! It's just that Moke probably won't be available for a while." Xia Che offered a casual congratulation, then looked at the small blue pill in his hand and put it away. "So, you only called me here this time... just this one?"

"Ah! Is that so? That kid always seems to have a lot of free time, doesn't he?" Hearing Xia Che's words, Vegapunk was taken aback for a moment. Although he was a little disappointed, he quickly dismissed the thought.

As long as he has enough funding to conduct his research freely, that's fine. As for the so-called "red romance," he's just curious about it.

"That was just something I made on a whim, hoping to trick you into giving me a little extra funding. Why would I call you here specifically for something like that?" He pointed to the ceiling. "See that?"

"I see, your head is gone!"

“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was… with this antenna, I can receive the radio waves in my head.”

"?!" Xia Che seemed to understand something. "You mean..."

"That's right, I've already done the research you asked me to do back then." Vegapunk said with his hands behind his back, sticking out his tongue, and chuckling. "Although I don't know what you wanted me to research that thing for, since Den Den Mushi already satisfied me, I invented it according to your requirements!"

As she spoke, she looked at Xia Che, who hadn't said anything, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't you need it anymore?"

The voice just fell.

"need!"

Xia Che snapped out of his daze and quickly said something. Then, ignoring Vegapunk's still puzzled look, he turned around without hesitation, looked at Big Bear beside him, and shouted, "Big Bear, go and call that kid Mok over to greet our guest. Tell that kid to give our hero a good welcome!"

"..."

Chapter 141 Banquet

Since Vegapunk is already so helpful, does Shache even need to say anything?

He simply waved his hand and gave Moke a break from training.

Let this kid take Old Bei out for a good time and enjoy the special perks of the Navy's 16th Branch.

Everything... will be reimbursed!

Moved to tears, Moke hugged Xia Che's leg tightly and called out with deep affection, "Boss!"

As expected, the boss still loves him.

Yesterday they stripped him of his right to go to Honglangman, but today they rescinded the punishment and even reimbursed him. What else is there to say?

He promises to complete the mission!

After saying hello to Bonnie, he planned to take the light bulb... no, now he should be called Apple Man, off to have some fun.

Hemok was already very familiar with how to make the arrangements.

Of course, Bonnie's eyes lit up when she heard that they were going to do something fun, and she hoped to go too, but she was stopped by the silent Big Bear because she was too young to go.

Although Bonnie was very curious, she still listened to her father very much, though she was a little disappointed.
