Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 73 I Know a Wolf

And...did he agree?

Vegapunk silently looked at the contract that had been handed to him, then at the others standing behind him, taking photos with him.

He now knows who these guys are.

A new Shichibukai, a ruler of the East Blue, a demon's son, and two indifferent guys.

Vegapunk's face, with his tongue sticking out, turned green.

In particular, the survivors of the Ohara historians are also here.

Now even if he says he hasn't studied history, the world government won't believe him.

not to mention……

He really does know a lot!

What a vicious fellow!

Vegapunk stared speechlessly at the person in front of him who was laughing and telling him to cheer up, saying things like "new people, new atmosphere, new company, new future," and telling him to accept reality!

Accept reality?

Does this guy think someone did this?

And is this guy really the base commander of the Navy branch?

How can you be so bold?

Not only did they recruit the son of a demon, but they also secretly stole people right under the nose of the World Government?

and……

Is that really the TN branch base chief?!

What kind of operation is this?

Are the people in the Navy Headquarters blind?

Of course, Vegapunk understood at that moment... he could never go back.

Having seen this bastard base chief's secret, how can he possibly go back?

Even if his secret research into history is exposed after he returns, he will only be judged by the World Government.

As for using this guy's secrets to threaten each other?

This guy actually said he'd at most become a pirate, and even invited me to join him as a pirate someday?!

Nothing we could do worked!

Perhaps after leaving Egherd, he was destined never to return.

Vegapunk stared speechlessly at Shache, and finally could only sigh, sign his name on the document, stick out his tongue, and say, "I hope you can keep your promise! At least..."

Some reassured themselves, saying, "I don't have to worry about being discovered for researching history anymore."

"Don't worry, even though we're just a small branch in the East China Sea right now!" Xia Che nodded with satisfaction, looking at the somewhat dejected old man with a lisp who had already agreed, and said reassuringly, "Our prospects for development are still quite broad!"

"We not only cooperate with the Navy Headquarters, but also with the World Government. Our business spans the entire East China Sea, covering the Grand Line, and we also have business locations in the South China Sea. In the future, our industries will radiate across the four seas, opening up trade opportunities worldwide!"

"We even have connections with the revolutionary army and the dark forces."

With a positive and optimistic tone, expressing a firm belief in a bright future.

"Promising prospects! Great future! The industry is booming!"

As soon as he said that...

Unsurprisingly.

"..."

This immediately silenced everyone.

Big Bear looked at his new BOSS with surprise. He didn't expect that the BOSS and his group were also related to the Revolutionary Army.

Kro... was already shocked by the BOSS's successful act of stealing people right under the World Government's nose.

Now, I never expected that although the BOSS is in this small branch in the East China Sea, his background is so deep.

He knew that the Navy Headquarters had cooperated with them; after all, he had met the Navy Admirals.

As for the rest...

I never imagined the BOSS was hiding so well!

Of course, Kro was neither afraid nor worried. Since he had already chosen to pledge allegiance to the new leader, as a man of the sea, he was not afraid that the new leader was ambitious, but he was afraid that the new leader was a good-for-nothing!

As expected, the new BOSS will definitely accomplish something great in this world, something that will shock the entire world!

Even Vegapunk, who was initially distressed about switching companies, was shocked.

Unexpectedly, this small branch in the East China Sea has such a wide reach in terms of influence.

No wonder they dared to steal him!

It seems that this wasn't a momentary impulse, but rather a display of absolute confidence.

Vegapunk felt a little more at ease. If he had a choice, he wouldn't really want to work for the World Government.

Since we're already here... let's take a look around here first!

On the contrary, Robin, the personal secretary standing to the side, looked at her beloved BOSS with a strange and questioning gaze.

Do they have such a wide reach?

Why didn't her personal secretary know this?

Those within the family know their own situation. For example, the boss absolutely cannot come up with that 10 billion right now.

Of course, Robin didn't expose the BOSS's boast, but instead nodded with a smile.

Instantly.

Seeing that even the Devil's Son had admitted it, Vegapunk began to believe it too.

Now that an agreement has been reached.

Now it's time to get down to business.

As for Vegapunk's Vivre Card... he doesn't have one!

That makes sense. If he had a Vivre Card, he wouldn't dare go to the ruins of Ohara.

The World Government may value his wisdom, but it also regards everyone outside the Celestial Dragons as insects and would never bother to keep Vegapunk's Vivre Card.

At the same time, Vegapunk can only rely on the World Government to realize his dream. The World Government is not worried that Vegapunk will run away at this time. Even if someone comes to take him away, they will only be besieged by the World Government.

But the result was unexpected...

A small branch of the East China Sea gang actually came to steal someone.

They actually succeeded in stealing it!

"Now that we've reached an agreement, it's time for me to keep my promise." Xia Che said, then turned to Big Bear, smiling, and said, "Bring Bonnie over!"

As for the welcoming ceremony, let's skip it. This old guy has a special status, why bother with a welcoming ceremony?

The words were spoken.

"?!"

The usually quiet bear suddenly brightened up, his eyes behind his frameless glasses seeming to well up with tears. He looked at Xia Che with excitement and anticipation, "Boss, what do you mean...?"

"That's right, Vegapunk should be able to handle it!" Shattrath nodded, continuing with a smile, "Bring him over to take a look!"

"Thank you so much, Boss!" Having received the affirmation, Big Bear bowed deeply to Xia Che and said, "Bonnie and I will always remember your kindness!"

With that, he turned around and flew away from the island with excitement.

Even though the 16th branch was right next door, he still couldn't wait a moment longer.

Bonnie... is she finally healed?

"What illness?" Vegapunk, witnessing this, was equally curious. With his hands behind his back, striking a tech-savvy pose, he stuck out his tongue and asked, "It seems they want me to cure them? Is it that Bonney?"

"That's right, Kuma's daughter," Shach said, looking at the curious Vegapunk. "I promised to heal his daughter!"

And so it went, for just a moment.

A huge bear paw print appeared.

Big Bear returned, carrying a box on his back and looking excited.

The group entered a specially built basement, where Vegapunk stuck out his tongue and joked that this was where he would be working from now on.

It's really rudimentary!

In response, Xia Che could only comfort him that it was only temporary, and that he could modify the place as he pleased in the future.

They even painted a rosy picture for him, telling him not to keep focusing on just one island, but that perhaps the entire East China Sea could be handed over to him for transformation in the future, and to broaden his horizons!

He silenced Vegapunk completely.

Isn't this small naval base commander's ambition a bit too big?

Immediately afterward, under the expectant gaze of the bear, Bonney also came out of the box. When she saw Vegapunk, she exclaimed, "What a big head! It stinks!" Vegapunk frowned and retorted, "You rude brat!" But he also carefully examined the curious Bonney.

Despite being hailed as the world's greatest scientist, Vegapunk was also exceptionally talented in the medical field, immediately recognizing Bonney's problem.

"Jade Scales? I never expected you could control their spread!" Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Vegapunk nodded. "It can be cured!"

however.

Before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief...

"But..." The name Vegapunk once again drew everyone's attention.

Especially for Kuma, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, his heart tightened again, and he looked at Vegapunk with worry and tension.

"Treating this disease requires medical technology that is not yet widely available! To be precise, it requires creating new stem cells and then transplanting them, a process roughly equivalent to creating a cyborg, which requires a large amount of medical equipment." Vegapunk spread his hands with some distress and helplessness, looking at the empty space in front of him, "And there's nothing here! Let alone sophisticated medical equipment."

As soon as he said that...

"..."

Everyone fell silent again.

Unexpectedly, just when hope was within reach, we were trapped by a lack of tools.

Shach looked at Vegapunk and asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

"Yes! We can buy them! But most of the equipment and materials are only available to the World Government!" Vegapunk said helplessly, spreading his hands. "That's why I joined the World Government. It's not just about money; there are some things that only a powerful World Government can obtain. Besides..." He looked at Shache, "Do you dare to buy those rare equipment and materials at this time?"

"..."

I really wouldn't dare; if I made that purchase, the world's intelligence agencies might find out!

Of course, Xia Che wasn't nervous either, after all, there was another way to treat Bonnie's illness.

But... we still have to give it a try.

"Can't you build it yourself?"

"Do you know how much technology those sophisticated devices require? I can build them, but..." Vegapunk stuck out his tongue, looking at Shacher with annoyance, "Do you have that many top-notch talents here to work with me?"

Seriously, do you really think a sophisticated piece of equipment is so easy to manufacture?

however.

Faced with Vegapunk's criticism, Shache showed no shame. Instead, he shook his head with great regret, "Is this the strength of the world's number one scientist? If I had known that was all he was capable of, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to steal it."

"..."

Before Vegapunk, whose face was dark with anger, could even utter a word...

All I saw was...

Xia Che sighed again, and under everyone's gaze, he slightly raised his head and said with a sigh, "I know a wolf..."
