Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Judge, on the other hand, used the research results of bloodline factors and combined them with Germa's combat technology to create the Vinsmoke family's cyborg army."

After saying that, Stusi looked at the bear.

Although Kuma's physical form is here, weapons of war like him have now become the most powerful weapons in the Navy's hands.

Bonnie was still furious when she heard this.

She and her father were friends with Vegapunk when she was little, yet Vegapunk did such a thing to her father, it's unforgivable!

Stussy paused for a moment, then said, "Miss Bonnie, you should ask Vegapunk himself about the specifics."

Only when Stussy told these things did everyone realize how profound Vegapunk's influence on the world truly was.

Luffy nodded. "That Vegapunk is really a formidable guy."

"Not only Luffy,"

Franky said, "Vegapunk is also proficient in bio-engineering techniques like those used on me and Kuma. The giant dragon discovered in Punk Hazard was a result of artificial life forms."

"Now that you mention it, I remember."

Luffy looked regretful. "I originally wanted to eat dragon meat."

Stussy couldn't help but smile; she could tell that the captain in front of her seemed to only care about food.

She continued, "Not only that, Vegapunk also conducted research on gigantification, wanting to turn ordinary people into giants."

"Is this really possible?" Robin couldn't help but ask.

There was indeed a great kingdom in history, but it should have belonged to the giants. If ordinary people could also become giants, this research is truly astonishing.

Stussy said, "It's not possible yet, but compared to the previous lack of progress, it has become possible after Vegapunk's research."

Robin nodded. "Then maybe humans and giants really can have offspring in the future."

Bai Xing, who was not far away, pricked up her ears and her face quietly turned red.

Morgans seemed hesitant to speak.

He had heard that a man had successfully explored the land and given birth to a giant child.

However, after thinking about it, he added something else: "Besides what Miss Stussy just mentioned, the Seastone inlay technique that allows warships to easily cross the Calm Belt, such as broadcasting Den Den Mushi, was also invented by Vegapunk."

A mind of that caliber might only appear once every few centuries.

Being 500 years ahead in technology is not just a saying.

Upon hearing this, Hancock, who had been quietly leaning against the other side of the cabin, bit her thumb, a hint of displeasure flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"I was wondering why those naval warships could pass through the Calm Belt; it turns out it was also Vegapunk's invention."

Her impression of Vegapunk immediately soured.

Amazon Lily is located deep in the Calm Belt, and its unique geographical location serves as a natural protective barrier for the Amazon Lily Kingdom.

The windless seas make sailboats unable to navigate, and the giant sea monsters lurking on the seabed pose a catastrophic threat to any intruder.

It is precisely because of this natural barrier that Amazon Lily has been able to maintain its independence and remain undisturbed by the outside world for thousands of years.

However, Vegaponk's seastone inlay technique changed everything.

"Last time, the Navy almost wiped us all out with the Seraphim."

Hancock said through gritted teeth.

Fortunately, Rayleigh returned at that time.

Come to think of it, Luffy forgot to ask Hancock.

"You've been by my side the whole time. Is everything alright on Amazon Lily? You're the emperor of Amazon Lily. Is it okay for you to be away from me for so long?"

Hancock's beautiful eyes immediately welled up with tears when she saw Luffy's gaze fall upon her.

She quickly constructed a plot in her mind.

Lord Luffy is worried about her!

Luffy doesn't want her to leave!

Luffy needs her by his side!

These thoughts flushed her cheeks, and she was completely immersed in sweet fantasies.

Uta, standing next to him, rolled his eyes.

It's unbearable to look at.

Several seconds later, Hancock smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, Rayleigh is there."

Furthermore, the Kuja Pirates have already returned. With them there, coupled with Rayleigh's strength, even the Navy wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Those in the know understand that Rayleigh's relationship with Amazon Lily is far from ordinary.

Shakky was the Empress of Amazon Lily forty years ago. After leaving Amazon Lily, she settled in the Sabaody Archipelago and lived a semi-secluded life with Rayleigh.

Amazon Lily is safe as long as Rayleigh is there.

In addition to these, Vegapunk invented various high-tech things, such as lightsabers, artificial diamonds, and artificial Devil Fruits. M. Caesar Clown on Punk Hazard was simply continuing Vegapunk's research.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Such a person worked for the World Government, yet he was also eliminated by the World Government.

Many people wondered if the world government had lost its mind.

"What else? What else?" Merry and the others were eager to hear.

Just as Stussy was about to speak, Shirahoshi's expression changed, and she cried out in panic, "Oh no! Oh no! There are so many giant sea monsters appearing underwater, and I can't communicate with them!"

These words surprised everyone in the Straw Hat crew.

Shirahoshi is the ancient weapon Poseidon, possessing the ability to communicate with and command all sea kings—a power she was born with.

The king that the giant sea kings had waited for for eight hundred years.

During her voyage, whenever a Sea King appeared nearby, Shirahoshi could sense their presence and establish a mental connection with them.

But now, Shirahoshi says there are sea kings underwater, and she can't communicate with them.

That means...

"Those are not real sea kings."

Robin made a quick judgment.

Almost simultaneously, a red light flashed in everyone's eyes.

Luffy was the fastest, but Kuzan, Zoro, and Sanji reacted almost instantly.

Whoever gets there first gets to eat.

Luffy arrived at the bow of the deck first.

His straw hat was blown backward by the sea breeze. He held the brim with one hand and stared sharply at the sea.

The sea surface was trembling slightly.

It was like the calm before the storm.

“Here it comes,” he whispered.

Immediately afterwards, a huge dark shadow rose rapidly from the seabed. The outline of the shadow became clearer and larger as the depth decreased.

Usopp ran out of the cabin, looked up at the sea, and his expression changed from curiosity to shock and then to terror.

"Monster! Is the monster coming?!"

He shouted.

You should know that Shirahoshi is a mermaid princess who can control all sea kings.

What exactly is this being that even she cannot communicate with?

Stussy calmly stepped out of the cabin. "It's a mechanical sea king."

She said, "Vegapunk created mechanical bio-weapons by combining bio-engineering and mechanical technologies. They have the size and strength of sea kings, but their internal structure is entirely mechanical. They have no consciousness and only act according to programmed instructions."

Before he could finish speaking, the sea suddenly exploded.

Water sprayed skyward, forming a white column of water tens of meters high, before collapsing under the force of gravity, crashing onto the sea surface and creating huge waves.

A colossal creature leaped out from beneath the sea, unfurling its terrifying body in mid-air.

Chapter 614 The Battle of Egghead Island Begins

It was a mechanical shark.

But calling it a shark is a bit of an insult to it.

Its size is enormous; its open mouth alone can engulf the entire Sunny Horizon.

It's important to know that after Franky underwent several modifications, the Thousand Sunny was larger than a typical Marine Headquarters warship, making it a true super pirate ship.

But compared to this mechanical shark, the Sunny was like a small cake placed in front of a giant jaws, about to be swallowed whole in the next second.

"It feels similar to Laboon." Luffy looked up at the massive, dark mechanical shark and suddenly thought of the whale at Twin Cape.

Brook's former crewmate in the Rumbar Pirates, a loyal giant whale that has been waiting for fifty years to crash into the Red Line.

Luffy fought Laboon and even used his Gum-Gum technique to draw the Straw Hat Pirates' symbol on the head of a whale.

"Yo ho ho ho! Labu!"

Brooke smiled when he heard the familiar name.

"Even though I don't have a heart anymore, seeing such a big mouth still makes my heart race! Hehehe... because I don't have a heart to beat!"

He looked up at the enormous, all-encompassing mechanical maw, and still managed to tell a lame joke.

The Morgans were dumbfounded.

“No… I mean… shouldn’t we be more serious at a time like this?!” Morgans shouted.
