One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Chapter 82 The Great Migration of Sea Beasts (Please Subscribe!)

Looking at the dense swarms of sea monsters below the ship, Sentomaru swallowed hard and said, "Won't they attack us?"

""

Vegapunk laughed and said, "Don't worry, they won't. The research vessel is specially equipped with Seastone, so they won't notice there's a ship on board."

The original research vessels and warships have been relocated to the Holy Land of Joa.

The ship they are currently aboard is Vegapunk's latest research achievement, equipped with Seastone, which will protect them from attacks by underwater creatures in the New World.

These ships are currently in the experimental stage, and the one that Kitahara Tsune was on was one of them.

Watching the massive migration of sea monsters underwater, Vegapunk stroked his chin and said, "Admiral Kitahara Tsuneo, could you help me capture a couple of these sea monsters?"

Upon hearing this abrupt request, Kitahara Tsune was only slightly taken aback before nodding easily and saying, "Of course, it's just a small favor. Are there any specific requirements?"

Vegapunk shook his head and said, "No special requirements, as long as they're healthy."

"Alright," Kitahara Tsune said. "Then we'll find a couple of lone sea monsters after this group has almost finished migrating."

"This is safer."

Kitahara Tsune was able to stay in the air for a short time without fear of the sea monsters swarming him, but the others were not.

If this research vessel angers other sea creatures during this great migration, it will be in serious trouble.

Although the ship was sturdy, it couldn't withstand this horde of sea monsters.

The number of these sea monsters was quite large. The research ship waited for nearly an hour before the great migration of the sea monsters was almost over. Only a few scattered ones swam past below afterward.

"It's decided that it will be the two of you."

Kitahara Tsune looked down at the two enormous figures beneath the research vessel.

After staying for so long, these two sea creatures are the most suitable. They are at the end of the migrating herd and there are no other sea creatures around them.

Kitahara Tsune took a leap into the air, then his feet slipped into the air, using the powerful recoil to plunge headfirst into the sea.

By returning his life, Kitahara Tsuneo mobilized the life energy within his body, temporarily altering his physical structure and mimicking the respiratory organs of the fish-men.

This gave him the ability to breathe underwater temporarily.

However, he can only imitate the gills of a fishman now, but not the webbed feet of a fishman or the tail of a mermaid.

Steadying himself, Kitahara Tsune looked at the two sea beasts not far from him.

From the research vessel, only two huge black figures can be seen, but underwater, their shapes can be seen.

Strangely enough, the sea creatures that made the great migration did not belong to the same species.

The two sea creatures that Kitahara Tsune saw were just like that—one had a lion's head, and the other had a giraffe's head.

The two sea creatures clearly had a good relationship; they were lagging behind the rest of the army, moving slowly and occasionally circling around, playing with each other.

After determining the location, Kitahara Tsuneo slowly swam towards the two sea beasts.

With the effect of "nurturing the heart," the two sea beasts not only did not show any hostility towards Kitahara Tsune, but instead took the initiative to stick out their heads, wanting to rub against Kitahara Tsune.

"You guys are just unlucky."

Kitahara Tsune sighed softly, imbued his fist with Armament Haki, and controlled the force, striking the two sea beasts on the head twice with a "thud".

Two large bumps suddenly appeared on the heads of the two sea monsters.

The two sea beasts, who had previously shown some affection for Kitahara Tsune, suddenly became ferocious.

They opened their gaping maws, ready to bite Kitahara Tsune.

Kitahara Tsune glared, unleashing a torrent of Conqueror's Haki.

Sensing that powerful aura, the two sea beasts froze on the spot, their angry faces instantly replaced by fear, and they didn't even have the courage to run away.

Seeing the two sea monsters' docile appearance, Kitahara Tsune nodded in satisfaction, grabbed their horns, and surfaced.

"Mr. Vegapunk, I have captured two sea monsters. Please bring me the collars."

Kitahara Tsune stood on the head of the lion-shaped sea monster and shouted towards the research vessel.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Momomaru lay on the side of the research vessel, his voice filled with surprise.

Although he had already seen the enormous serpentine sea king on King Island.

But the two sea monsters in front of me still seemed unusually huge.

It could probably destroy the village he was in with just one strike.

Vegapunk nodded, signaling his assistant to toss the collar that imprisoned the sea monster to Kitahara Tsuneo.

Two enormous collars were dragged out from the back of the ship and thrown forcefully by the navy towards the two sea monsters.

Under Kitahara Tsune's intimidation, the two sea monsters obediently put on their collars and headed to Punk Hazard with the research vessel.

Behind the research vessel, Sentomaru was looking at the two sea monsters following behind with curious eyes.

"Commander Kitahara Tsuneo, how should I protect Mr. Vegapunk?" Sentomaru asked.

Kitahara Tsune thought for a moment and said, "If you eat and drink well every day, you will become stronger."

For someone like Sentomaru, who is born with the ability to use Ryuo, as long as his physical development is maintained, his minimum skill level will naturally not be too low.

At Sentomaru's current age, even Kintoki's group of brown bears couldn't break through his defenses.

In the original work, his defensive capabilities were even comparable to those of an admiral.

Pulling two sea monsters along, the research vessel drew ever closer to Punk Hazard.

Kitahara Tsuneya also saw this research mecca renowned within the navy.

After working for the World Government, Vegapunk rose to become the leader of naval scientists and is currently the director of the Punk Hazard Research Institute.

Unlike in the original story, Punk Hazard is currently unaffected by the gas explosion and the final battle between the Admirals, and the island's ecosystem has not collapsed.

On the contrary, with Vegapunk's technical support, the place is thriving.

In Kitahara Tsune's eyes, Punk Hazard was nothing like a scientific research institute; it was more like an undeveloped tropical rainforest.

Seemingly detecting the signal from the research vessel, the Den Den Mushi fixed to the vessel rang.

Vegapunk naturally took the phone.

"I am Vegapunk, and we are about to land. Please open the gate to the island," Vegapunk said.

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, however, came a faint laugh.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, Vegapunk, I thought you weren't coming back."

"Caesar, if I go back and find you using your subordinates as experimental subjects again, I'll kick you out."

Upon hearing that iconic laugh, Vegapunk immediately became serious.

Kaiser Courland was his colleague in his former organization MADS and now SSG.

However, his research interests differed from his; Caesar tended to research weapons of mass destruction.

Vegapunk, on the other hand, preferred to study the essence of things.

"How could that be? I love my subordinates terribly!"

Upon hearing that Vegapunk was going to kick him out, Caesar's voice immediately softened.

"The gate is ready to open at any time; we're just waiting for you to dock."

After Caesar finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

Vegapunk was somewhat helpless.

Caesar did indeed have a high level of research talent, especially in the field of weaponry, but what the other party did for the purpose of the experiment was something he could not forgive.

Soon, the research ship docked, and everyone saw the steel wall surrounding Punk Hazard Island.

A prominent name is displayed above the central entrance.

"Punk Hazard".

P.S.: I previously posted chapter 84 incorrectly, so I've revised it back to chapter 82. However, some people had already subscribed when the mistake was made, so there will be two updates tomorrow.
