The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 351 Plan

"This place is Rabbit Bowl."

They recognized the place by its hidden location.

He frowned slightly and explained to the crowd with a solemn expression: "This place is rich in sea stone mines and is one of the most important resource-producing areas in Wano Country."

Lucci nodded, his expression serious as he continued, "That's right. Kaido used to build a massive prison here, imprisoning those who opposed him and forcing them to mine seastone day and night. Now, Wes has transformed it into a research institute, but we don't yet know what kind of research is being conducted inside."

"graduate School??"

Upon hearing this news, everyone looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"It's Vegapunk's research institute."

"Vegapunk!!"

Franky was as if he had been set ablaze, his eyes shining with excitement, and he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

"Who is that?"

Luffy still looked bewildered, and he habitually scratched the back of his head.

"That's the most amazing scientist!!"

Franky excitedly began to introduce Vegapunk to Luffy, gesturing wildly as he tried to make Luffy understand Vegapunk's excellence in the most vivid way possible.

"His achievements in the scientific field are unparalleled. He has invented and created countless amazing things. Whether it is his research on human body modification or his exploration and utilization of various mysterious energy sources, he has demonstrated his unparalleled wisdom and talent."

But Luffy just let it go in one ear and out the other.

"You bunch of bastards came to Wano Country without doing any research?!"

Looking at Luffy's bewildered and ignorant appearance, Lucci was both angry and helpless, and his anger was rising.

Especially when I think about how I was defeated by these people two years ago, a deep sense of powerlessness arises.

He simply couldn't understand how such a seemingly reckless group of guys had managed to survive on this perilous sea until now.

Fortunately, not everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates is as indifferent to information as Luffy. Nami, Robin, and Usopp listened attentively to Lucci sharing information, carefully noting down every detail and every potentially useful piece of information.

"The plan this time is to attack the research institute, capture Vegapunk, and force Wes to leave Wano Country."

Lucci summarized their plan, his voice low and steady, as if declaring to everyone that this was their only viable strategic approach at the moment.

Although this plan seems simple and straightforward, it is the most likely way to achieve our goal given the current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we are facing Wes's unfathomable strength.

"No!" Luffy suddenly declared loudly and firmly, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit. Without hesitation, he said, "I will defeat Wes!"

For Luffy, his goal has always been crystal clear: he doesn't want to solve the Wano Country problem through such indirect means.

He longed to defeat Wes with his own strength.

The others were not surprised by Luffy's words. They knew Luffy too well. This persistent, determined, and courageous Luffy, who was not afraid of any powerful enemy, was the Straw Hat Pirates captain they knew.

"Whatever you want."

Lucci's expression was somewhat indifferent; he didn't seem to care whether Luffy could defeat Wes.

CP0's core objective is Vegapunk; capturing this scientist who possesses numerous top-tier technological secrets is their primary task in this operation.

As for defeating Wes, after his crushing defeat and narrowly escaping death last time, Lucci has completely abandoned that unrealistic idea.

If even one of the opponent's henchmen could injure him in a single exchange, then Wes's own strength must be as unfathomable as an abyss. He didn't want to provoke this terrifying being again so easily; he only wanted to complete his mission.

After finalizing the plan, everyone began to work diligently to prepare for infiltrating Rabbit Bowl.

All those involved in this project are highly skilled individuals with unique strengths, making for a truly impressive lineup.

The entire Straw Hat crew was present.

Ace, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and Izo are the core members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Nine Red-Sheathed Swordsmen.

Jinpei, the Knight of the Sea.

There's also Vergo and Monet.

When Vergo and Monet heard that the Straw Hat crew was coming to Wano Country, they grasped at it like it was their last straw.

Faced with Wes's overwhelming and despair-inducing power, they knew that they had no chance of revenge on their own.

They begged to join regardless of the consequences, determined to keep up, and became part of the team tasked with defeating Wes.

In addition to the members of CP0.

Such a lineup is quite powerful, and if used to defeat ordinary Yonko, they might have a great chance of winning.

A group of people left silently, leaving only the samurai and the Kozuki siblings behind.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

With her hands clasped together, her expression devout and solemn, Hiyori closed her eyes slightly and whispered a prayer: "May everything go well."

Momonosuke stood nervously to the side, his face slightly pale, his hands unconsciously clutching the hem of his clothes.

Various terrifying images kept flashing through his mind, and he was filled with fear and unease about what was to come. After all, he was still young, but he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the country of Wano. This enormous pressure made it hard for him to breathe.

As he left, Lucci subtly gave Kalifa a wink.

Kalifa understood immediately, nodded slightly, and maintained her composed demeanor.

"Even garbage has its uses," Lucci thought coldly.

He planned to use the Kozuki siblings as bait.

The Kozuki siblings are merely pawns to be used. As long as they can restrain one of Wes's subordinates, even for a short time, it will be of some help to their operations.

To achieve his goal, he wouldn't care whether the means were despicable or shameless; victory was the most important thing, and everything else could be sacrificed.

The group proceeded cautiously, and thanks to their excellent stealth skills and keen awareness of their surroundings, they managed to infiltrate Udon relatively smoothly.

But when they got to Udon, the situation became complicated and tricky.

More and more villages are being built here, and people are coming and going.

Over the past two years, the people of Wano Country have gradually accepted Wes's rule. Under Wes's governance, life here has returned to its former peace and prosperity, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But this also means that Wes's spies could be watching his every move from all sides.

In order to avoid being discovered, the group could only hide during the day and travel at night, taking advantage of the cover of darkness to move stealthily in the dark like ghosts.

When encountering patrols or crowds that are unavoidable, Bruno opens the door to the alternate dimension, and everyone passes through it.

This method is very convenient and safe, allowing them to cleverly avoid the enemy's line of sight.

However, the more people there are, the faster Bruno's stamina is depleted. After each use of his alternate dimension ability, Bruno needs to rest for a while to recover his stamina.

Although the journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe, there were several instances where they were discovered by patrolling personnel.

Fortunately, everyone's quick thinking and Bruno's abilities helped to resolve the crisis.

They successfully reached the research institute.
