I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

Chapter 95: The Battle for Vegapunk

95.

Punk Hazard is the Navy's most important research base and the location of the Navy's Special Science Unit.

It is heavily guarded year-round, with fortresses everywhere.

Furthermore, several admirals of the Navy Headquarters led the Navy Headquarters Science Unit as Vegapunk's bodyguards.

Of course, the above are just the standard protective measures.

Most importantly, Vegapunk is the World Government's Achilles' heel. Anyone who tries to seize Vegapunk will be going to war with the World Government.

There was no room for negotiation.

With his enormous head, Vegapunk gazed longingly at every blade of grass and tree in the research institute as the time drew ever closer.

He really didn't want to leave.

Although I look down on the Celestial Dragons, I have to admit that the conditions offered by the World Government are really too good.

After thinking for a moment, Vegapunk put the Devil Fruit in front of him into his pocket.

Back in the room, there was a large bag with a diameter of 1 meter, filled with precious materials that Vegapunk had collected over the past few days, which the World Government strictly forbade to be leaked.

There's also some rare, out-of-print experimental equipment outside—uh, this is too big. It won't fit in my inventory, and I can't take it with me.

Therefore, Berlusconi had no choice but to give up.

Hmm, a bag with a diameter of one meter, perhaps, probably, shouldn't hinder an escape?

Old Bei felt guilty.

"Hyurololo," Caesar floated over, his body seemingly real yet ethereal, emanating a foul odor.

This gave Vegapunk a huge fright.

My tongue was almost bitten off.

"Quasar, quasar, that's terrifying, Caesar,"

“What’s so scary? This genius has a new invention that will surprise you, haha,” Caesar said, his face flushed.

He spent another night drinking with women, chatting with them until late at night.

After engaging in group sex, Caesar experienced a burst of inspiration.

"Let me tell you, it's a super weapon. I already have a plan. It can easily destroy an island. I've even thought of a name for it: Death Kingdom."

“Listen to this name, Death—the realm, comparable to, no, surpassing the invention of ancient weapons,” Caesar said with fanaticism.

“Is that so?” Vegapunk smiled and tied the bag in his hand tightly. “Caesar, you are very talented, but your mind is too complicated and your heart is not pure. You will not be able to do research well if you are like this.”

"What? Vegapunk, what do you mean?" Caesar was furious. "Let me tell you, don't think that just because the world respects you as the world's strongest scientist, you really are."

"You're nothing but a fame-seeking charlatan relying on the Brain-Brain Fruit. Once my ultimate weapon is completed, it will surpass yours."

Vegapunk blinked, almost blurting out, "That's absolutely impossible."

"Mmm, oh, I believe you." The perfunctory tone and the ridiculously fake expression clearly indicated that he was just going along with Caesar's words.

“You…” Caesar clenched his fist.

I wish I could beat up Old Bei.

"By the way, Caesar, although we follow different paths, I also despise your character. You're a complete scumbag who frequently embezzles and draws salaries without working, and acts as an academic tyrant to suppress others..."

Caesar's eyes were blazing with fury, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"However, I still highly regard your research abilities,"

Caesar scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Haha, that's for sure. He, Caesar Courland, is destined to surpass Vegapunk, a great scientist.

"If you have the chance, be a good person." Old Berlusconi gave Caesar a big hug.

Caesar: ? ? ?

Caesar left in a daze, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.

Vegapunk's behavior is abnormal.

And it looks familiar. Have we met before?

what is it then?

Caesar stopped in his tracks.

Vegapunk behaved exactly like this when the MADS organization disbanded more than a decade ago.

Caesar remembered very clearly when he said goodbye to the others.

and so……

Caesar turned around abruptly.

His eyes flashed repeatedly.

A few hours later.

Vegapunk, carrying a bag, looked left and right cautiously as he approached the open space.

Let's check the time again. That's right, there are still 5 minutes left.

"Strange, why haven't they arrived yet?" Vegapunk reached out and peered into the distance.

Even from hundreds of meters away, Qingzhi couldn't bear to watch any longer.

No, Dr. Vegapunk, didn't you claim to have all the knowledge in the world in your brain?

How come there's no concept of concealment at all?

Also, what's the point of carrying such a big bag and looking around? Are you afraid of not being suspected?

Aokiji was almost in despair.

the other side,

After suspecting Berlusconi, Caesar began to follow him directly.

As time went on, my suspicions became more and more certain.

He had initially intended to inform on Vegapunk, but then he realized that with Vegapunk gone, wouldn't he be the World Government's top scientist?

Moreover, without government resources, Old Bei's research efficiency would inevitably decline.

So Caesar decided to help Bertrand.

That is why Aokiji did not make a move.

"Dr. Vegapunk," a squad of Marines came running over excitedly.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Uh, well..." Vegapunk was sweating, his eyes darting around.

"I'm taking a walk, yes, I'm taking a walk."

navy:……

100 kilometers away, Violet watched Vegapunk's performance and remained silent.

Is he really Vegapunk, the smartest person in the world? Why does he look like an idiot?

“He is, but Vegapunk excels in different areas,” Dick said, issuing the order.

"You can leave now, leave it to me."

With a snap, Dick disappeared.

Tens of seconds later.

Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief after using his intelligence to send the marines away.

"Seriously, is this reliable or not? I'm not going to be fooled, Lala..." Vegapunk's mouth dropped open.

They stared in disbelief at Dick's sudden appearance.

"You, you, you..."

"Alright, we can go now."

After speaking, the invisible and colorless flames spread out, and with a gentle slash, it was as if a door had been opened in the space in front of them.

"Spatial ability." Old Bei was pleasantly surprised, but before he could say anything, it was taken away.

"Who are you?" the navy officer shouted.

Vegapunk remained where he was, carrying a large package, which had already attracted the attention of many people.

This also allowed the navy to discover it immediately.

"What happened to Dr. Vegapunk?"

“We’ve been discovered,” Dick said, raising an eyebrow slightly.
