Pirates' Max Level System

Tayuya discovered that people from the navy and the World Government appeared in her eyes more and more frequently.

This is bad news and good news.

There are two pieces of bad news.

According to Tayuya's observation, the Navy and the World Government have been investigating Vegapunk for some time, and they have obviously discovered more than her.

The other bad news is that Tayuya has been targeted. Always appearing in places related to Vegapunk, this sudden appearance of a female swordsman naturally attracted the attention of the World Government and the Navy.

Duoyou didn't know how many waves of temptations she had experienced, both overt and covert.

The good thing is that the Navy and the World Government are still searching for Vegapunk, and the target has not yet fallen into the control of the World Government.

Qin Luo didn't care much about being an enemy of the World Government. Now, as long as he changed into Liuyun's identity and shook in front of the World Government, they would shudder.

What they are really worried about is that the World Government will find Vegapunk in advance and hide him, or simply go all out and kill Vegapunk.

For the sake of his plan to mass-produce artificial devil fruits, Qin Luo felt that everything should be done in a safe way, and it would be best to find Vegapunk before the Navy and the World Government.

"Yes, sir." After respectfully hanging up the call with Qin Luo, Duoyouya had a wry smile on his face.

She angrily stepped on the unconscious person on the ground. Just now, when Duo Yuya was reporting the progress of her work to Qin Luo, this person tried to enter the room and attack her.

It's just that this guy's strength is not that good, his sneak attack skills are average, and he has to hide in front of the ninja, which makes him feel like he is showing off his skills in front of an expert.

Tayuya simply played the flute, and the man was dragged into the illusion by the "Magic Flute Dream Sound Lock." With his strength, he couldn't even last five minutes in the illusion before he passed out.

In fact, this guy's strength is not that embarrassing. He is already the most powerful assassin in the vicinity. He was hired by the World Government to create a surprise for Tayuya.

It was purely because of the crushing assassination skills, otherwise the killer would not have been killed instantly by Duoyouye at first sight.

This time, the person sent by the Navy and the World Government to test her was already at the level of a captain. What about next time? A lieutenant colonel, a major, or even a brigadier general.

With Toyuya's strength, after activating the second form of the curse seal, he can only fight against the major general at most. If he wants to win, his ability must be able to restrain the opponent.

The missions that follow will only become more and more difficult, and Tayuya is considering whether to ask for support from Fishman Island.

The delivery of data files from Vegapunk's secret base on the Mechanical Island gave Orochimaru, who had reached a bottleneck in his research on artificial devil fruits, a new way out.

Whether it was the design concept or some early conjecture experiments, it undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for Orochimaru.

It turned out that the human body still contained so many untapped secrets, and the energy and forms that the human body could carry were far more than he knew. Orochimaru had the urge to develop a new curse seal immediately.

These materials are all fine, although a little difficult to understand, at least they are readable, but what about Vegapunk's research logs and diaries.

I know you are a genius and a great scholar, so you don't need to write your diary in cipher.

Looking at the diaries and research logs that are likely to contain clues to the location of the Vegapunk research team, everyone despairs at the ciphertext on them.

Tsunade, Olivia, and Orochimaru were brought in to study these secret codes, but the progress of the research was not optimistic.

It is roughly estimated that at this rate, by the time Olivia and the others have decrypted all the information, Vegapunk will have received his first month's salary from the Navy and the World Government.

It is very likely that Tayuya's investigation progress has fallen behind that of the World Government and the Navy, so they must find another way to find more critical clues.

This situation was not alleviated until the arrival of a group of scholars who had looted from the Mechanical Island.

At the beginning, most of these scholars were unwilling to leave their hometowns, stop what they were researching, and face an uncertain future.

All the scholars seemed to be forced to accept their fate under pressure.

However, once they entered the underwater tunnel, they finally realized what force had taken them away. The gradual construction and improvement of the new city of Atlantis deeply shocked them.

For the first time, these scholars thought this was not a bad idea…

As the saying goes, it is good to lean against a big tree for shade. The name of "Liuyun God" is now known not only in the Grand Line, but also in every place in the four major seas of the east, south, west and north.

With the blessing of the Flowing Cloud God, Fishman Island has become the safest place in the world. The legend of the Flowing Cloud God's ability to resurrect the dead is also widely spread. However, Fishman Island has been closed to the public recently, and they are fortunate to be the first group of immigrants.

The environment on Fishman Island is not as harsh as that on Mechanical Island. Coupled with the abundant financial resources, it seems that they no longer have to worry about research funds and materials.

Coming to Fishman Island feels like coming home. Everyone there is talented and speaks nicely. I love being here!

For these scholars, newly arrived at Fishman Island, the task of deciphering the code was a chance to demonstrate their abilities to the boss. Each of them put in their utmost effort, determined to decipher the code even if it meant fighting for days.

It’s no wonder that these people are talented scholars from the same hometown as Vegapunk. Although they are not as perverted as him, they are very similar in some aspects of their thinking.

Only science and engineering men can understand science and engineering men. Even though Vegapunk has turned to life sciences now, he was also a fan of mechanical devices in the past.

As for people like Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Olivia who study biology, medicine, and history... Excuse me for being blunt, even if the three of them were at the doctoral level, they wouldn't be able to get along with Vegapunk.

After two weeks of hard work, all the ciphertexts were finally deciphered one night.

Olivia and Tsunade returned to their residence looking exhausted.

"Thank you for your hard work. You must be very tired." Qin Luo walked up to them with a gentle look on his face and hugged the two women in his arms.

"It seems like I'm so tired that I'm sagging." Qin Luo muttered softly.

"What?" the two women asked in unison, as if they had heard something bad.

No need to answer, Qin Luo's actions proved everything. One on the left and one on the right, Qin Luo's two hands held two indescribable things.

"It seems not, I must have seen it wrong." Qin Luo weighed it carefully after saying this.

"Ah!" Two loud shouts.

"Pa, pa." The sound of slaps x2.

Qin Luo: ""

Chapter 615: There are Two Lair

The clues in Vegapunk's diary ultimately lead to somewhere in the North Sea.

At the end of the diary, Vegapunk wrote:

"This is a groundbreaking discovery. It shatters all my understanding of Devil Fruits, but I can't accomplish it alone."

"I need more manpower, equipment, resources, and experimental materials."

"Several forces were very interested in my research before. I know they just wanted to recruit me."

"but……"

"This time is different. I think I have to go to the North Sea."

The last time on the diary was 1496 in the Haiyuan calendar, which means that Vegapunk had been away for more than two years.

The research team that Vegapunk is currently in may not be in the North Sea, but there must be clues in the North Sea that he appeared two years ago.

But who can say for sure? The Germa Kingdom, one of the eight major powers investing in the Vegapunk research team, is one of the largest national organizations in the North Sea. Given the Germa Kingdom's capabilities, if it chose to hide a research team in the North Sea, it would be more than capable of doing so, undetectable by the navy or other organizations.

The Grand Line was even more so, with the first half dominated by the navy and the second half a battlefield of fierce battles between pirates. Even if one wanted to live in seclusion, they wouldn't choose these two places. If they were even slightly exposed, the entire research team would be a victim of others.

Maybe the research team is in the North Sea. Of course, Qin Luo doesn’t know this information.

It was the next day when Qin Luo, whose family was in harmony, told Duoyou all the clues through the Den Den Mushi.

Finally, Tayuya kindly asked, "Sir, are you catching a cold? Your voice is a little hoarse. Please take care of yourself."

I’m afraid of my subordinates’ sudden concern.

Qin Luo blushed and laughed, trying to get away with it: "I will pay attention, and you should be careful too. It seems that the North Sea is not particularly peaceful during this period."

"Ah."

The conversation between the two ended there.

Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief. If Duoyou were to ask about the hoarse voice, it would be really embarrassing. But as a subordinate, she could only understand something and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

It is impossible for him to catch a cold. He will never catch a cold in this life. Ever since Qin Luo's body was strengthened by the system, the virus that can make him catch a cold is enough to kill a sea king.

A hoarse voice doesn't necessarily require a cold. Does Qin Luo want to say that it's because he shouted for too long last night to cooperate with the performance?

Whip, candle, high heels, rope...

Hehehe...

In fact, it has nothing to do with these, although Qin Luo seems to be a little looking forward to it. What happened last night was just simple "domestic violence".

First, Olivia and Tsunade besieged Qin Luo, and then Taotu resolutely joined the battlefield based on many principles such as "sharing happiness together" and "it's never wrong to beat Qin Luo".

In order to cooperate with them, Qin Luo had to make expressions and screams of pain, and simulate the appearance of being covered with scars.

Otherwise, if the three women knew that the Qin Luo they were attacking was just a "stone man" and that their punches, kicks, pinches, grabs and pinches were just like tickling, Olivia and Tsunade's anger would probably not subside so quickly.

After getting the clue, Tayuya immediately set off for the North Sea, and this time she left the navy's sight.

Previously, when investigating clues about Vegapunk on the Grand Line, Tayuya kept running into problems with the Navy World Government.

At one point, the World Government and the Navy even believed that Tayuya was also looking for Vegapunk, and they launched wave after wave of attempts against her. If things got any worse, the Navy's generals and members of the World Government's CP would have to take action personally.

At this moment, Duoyou resolutely left the Grand Line and headed for the North Sea.

According to what Tayuya said, she is going to hone her swordsmanship and travel around the world in search of a powerful swordsman master.

This statement is quite normal. Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles is not only applicable to academics, but also to kendo.

Many idealistic swordsmen will travel around the world after leaving the dojo. When they think they have enough strength, they will join a pirate group and come to the Grand Line to continue honing their skills.

There are also many swordsmen like Tayuya who debuted in the Grand Line and chose to travel around the world to gain some experience first.

Drinking the strongest liquor, slaying the strongest enemies, the path to advancement in the way of the sword is often a relentless battle. Haven't you noticed? Those who grasp the truth simply by looking at the mountains and rivers usually grow old, too old to continue fighting.

Like a certain Hawkeye, after becoming the world's number one swordsman, didn't he rely on his youth to wander around the world and challenge swordsman gyms? Although Qin Luo felt that this was more about showing off than challenging swordsmanship.

Here we have to mention the differences in the clues about Vegapunk that the Navy World Government and Tayuya have obtained.

The intelligence held by the Navy World Government was obviously more detailed. Whenever Doyouya went to a place, a large number of members of the Navy World Government would conduct a comprehensive investigation of Vegapunk's information.

However, the Navy and the World Government do not have access to Vegapunk's private log and the clues contained therein.

The Navy and the World Government are focusing their investigations more on Vegapunk's research institute on the Mechanical Island.

It was common sense that at least two bases should be set up: one in the open and one in secret. Although both were heavily trapped, the secret base was clearly more important, so a receiver capable of remote detonation was specially prepared.

Because the owner had been away from home for a year, a thief set his sights on Vegapunk's publicly-owned research institute.

So a thief who just wanted to pick up valuables, after going through hardships that he shouldn't have to go through at his age and in this profession, risked his life to bring out a safe from a research institute full of traps.

What made the thief cry was that there was no money in the safe that he had taken out with great difficulty, but all kinds of guesses and documents.

But as expected of someone from the Mechanical Island, even a thief could understand what was written on the document, especially the conjecture in one of the papers.

The thief smelled the scent of money and handed all the documents to the navy, explaining the importance of them. The thief got what he wanted, and the document was finally delivered to the Five Elders.

Perhaps others just think this is a guess, but the Five Elders who know some of the situation and have led certain experiments are fully aware of the significance of this guess.

"The Devil's Code" is what the Five Elders call the technology described in this conjecture, but it seems that Vegapunk's "bloodline factor" is more appropriate.

So the Five Elders lost their composure!

Chapter 616 I Want It All

Vegapunk probably didn't expect that, apart from Qin Luo's special case, what really exposed him and his research content was not the appearance of a traitor in the research team, nor the eight forces themselves revealing their flaws.

The real reason was that Vegapunk exposed himself.

Most of the important information and secrets were placed by Vegapunk in the secret base, including his various design conjectures, research logs and personal diaries.

But there is a document about the "bloodline factor" that was forgotten by Vegapunk and placed in the safe of the institute.

This was Vegapunk's earliest conjecture about the "bloodline factor." For some reason, Vegapunk had forgotten about it.

Unfortunately, there was a thief who visited his research institute. Not only did he not die under the numerous traps, he also took out the entire safe.

Although the conjectures in the document are still very rough and incomplete, many of the ideas and speculations coincide with those of the Five Elders who once presided over similar research.

This document was marked even earlier, and now, several years later, Vegapunk, who was working on this project, had no idea how far along the experiment had gotten. If Vegapunk could truly complete the experiment, mastering this technology would be no less advantageous than gaining control of the three ancient weapons.

Now the power of the Navy and the World Government has declined significantly due to the confrontation with Qin Luo. If another powerful force masters this technology, won’t it overthrow the World Government?

Qin Luo has no intention of becoming the king of the world, but that doesn't mean others don't want to.

No, this technology must be in the hands of the World Government. And there's this guy called Vegapunk. His mind is too terrifying. Only by controlling it in our own hands can we feel at ease. Before this technology is fully developed, Vegapunk must be found.

The Five Elders have only one thought about Vegapunk and his research: I want them all.jpg

The Five Elders issued an emergency order, requiring them to find Dr. Vegapunk as soon as possible at all costs and capture him alive. They would only kill him if he fell into the hands of other forces.

So when Tayuya arrived at the Mechanical Island, the Navy and the World Government had already surrounded Vegapunk's open research institute in three layers.

Under the guidance of professional mine detectors, the navy and the world government gradually circumvented or destroyed the traps set by Vegapunk and entered the research institute to look for clues about where Vegapunk was going.
