Nami asked curiously, "Battle suit, what kind of ability is that?"
Hearing Nami's question, Reiju took out the iconic pink can No. 0 from her pocket.
Under the gaze of everyone, she held the can close to her waist and gently pressed the start button.
But soon, she felt something different. With the activation of the combat suit device, although she was shrouded in light as usual, her clothes were not taken off directly. Under the influence of the fruit ability, the combat suit directly penetrated through the original clothes and wrapped her body tightly.
After the transformation, Reiju had a pair of gorgeous butterfly-wing cloaks spread out behind her, and a tattoo of the number "6" appeared at the base of her thigh.
At this moment, she regained her usual confidence and said gently to the people behind Al: "Please take good care of me in the future."
Nuo Qigao responded with a warm smile: "You're welcome! We are all good sisters from now on! What kind of food do you like to eat? I will cook it for you tonight. We will hold a grand welcome ceremony for you tonight!"
Seeing that Reiju quickly got along well with everyone, El stood up and gave the rest area to them.
He walked over to Nami and asked, "Nami, do you have any questions about our route planning to Egghead Island?"
Nami thought about it and expressed her concerns.
"I'm not sure, Captain Al. If the navigation compass can't directly receive the magnetic signal from Egghead Island as expected, we may get lost in the new world."
With this in mind, Al thought for a moment and turned to Robin for help.
"Robin, I remember there is a huge planetarium in O'Hara's library. Have you ever studied astronomy? I want to try to use the stars in the sky to confirm the direction."
Hearing El's needs, Robin recalled what he had learned and began to think about how to use the stars to help Nami determine the route more accurately.
Going to Egghead Island was originally a simple task, but his system was in a dormant state due to processing the power of the fruit in his body.
This situation meant that he was unable to find the correct route to Warhead Island through the system editing task.
Fortunately, the crew members I found are all excellent partners, and it is time to train them into independent figures.
Sure enough, the next morning, a beautifully printed newspaper was delivered to the Orange Windmill by the news bird.
Although this eye-catching news report did not directly describe the El Pirates marrying the Princess of the Germa Kingdom,
But with Judge's ingenious layout, the photo of Reiju in a gorgeous wedding dress and snapshots of the El Pirates members in different scenes and angles occupied the front page headlines, cleverly creating a series of misleading pictures.
In particular, the whole event was pushed to a climax when Judge himself sent words of blessing to his daughter Reiju at the end of the newspaper.
Chapter 113: Bega's Power No. 1 (Please recommend and collect)
With Nami's superb navigation skills, they passed through the calm belt and, with the help of Robin, began to sail towards Egghead Island.
In the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere on the boat, Reiju quickly integrated into their large group.
Although she is not yet domineering, her overall combat capability is already among the best on the ship.
With her presence, the girls on the ship couldn't help but increase the intensity of their training.
El saw her performance, discussed with her, and told everyone that Reiju would serve as a fighter on the ship just like Tashigi.
As the Orange Windmill sailed in the waters of the New World, when Nami rested at night, El would follow Nami's sailing plan and take on the task of driving the Orange Windmill alone to ensure the safety and stability of the voyage.
After sailing for several days, they were getting closer and closer to the Winter Island. The weather was getting colder and colder, so everyone changed into warmer clothes to keep out the cold.
Because Reiju boarded the ship in a hurry, she did not prepare enough clothes, and the route they passed was relatively remote, so she did not have the opportunity to do any shopping.
Fortunately, the companions on the ship generously selected unused clothes from their almost full wardrobes and gave them to Reiju as a warm gift between sisters, allowing her to feel the warmth and care of the team.
At this time, Reiju was sitting quietly on the deck, using her gas fruit to supply energy to Nami through the special stove made by the thunder fruit, providing everyone with a flame for warmth.
Al, who had been driving the boat all night, had returned to the cabin to rest. They tasted the delicious food carefully prepared by Nojigo and enjoyed this rare quiet time.
But this tranquility did not last long. Nami keenly noticed that there seemed to be something unusual hidden in the seabed below the ship.
She immediately moved to the bow and looked down, only to see a huge shadow lurking under the shadow of the Orange Windmill, looming in the sea.
"Noki, open the barrier to protect our ship. There are huge creatures in the sea. We have to leave here!" Nami shouted anxiously to Noki, and quickly returned to the rudder, preparing to open the flying wings on both sides of the ship's side to let the Orange Windmill take off.
Hearing what Nami said, Nojigo immediately took quick action and tightly wrapped the entire ship with a barrier.
But what was unexpected was that before Nami could fully spread her wings, their ship was lifted out of the water by a powerful force and floated above the sea.
Then, a huge robot slowly rose from the bottom of the sea, its hands tightly grasping the Orange Windmill protected by the barrier.
Faced with this sudden change, Vivi reacted quickly and asked Rebecca to enter the cabin to wake up Al.
At the same time, Tashigi and Reiju stood on the side facing the robot, staring at this unknown opponent with vigilance in their hearts.
"Don't worry, our barrier is very strong and will not be destroyed. Such a robot must be controlled by someone. It is best to find out what the other party's purpose is first."
Vivi came between Dashigi and Reiju and said to the giant robot, "We are the El Pirates. Who are you? Why did you capture our ship?"
"Pirates, this is under the jurisdiction of the World Government. Since you have trespassed, you must hand over all the valuables on the ship, otherwise you will not be able to leave here." The voice of the giant robot was somewhat threatening.
The giant robot's request made Vivi immediately realize that the other party was a member of the World Government.
She responded decisively: "Our captain, El, is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. According to the agreement between the World Government and us, you should not take any hostile actions against allies like us."
Hearing what Vivi said, Lilith, who was operating the giant robot, couldn't help but show some helplessness and regret.
The institute's funds were already stretched thin, and they finally encountered a pirate ship, but due to the agreement, they could not rob their treasure.
She had no choice but to operate the robot to slowly lower the Orange Windmill back to the surface of the water, and then prepare to dive back into the deep sea to continue her experiment.
At this moment, Al walked out of the cabin and came to the deck. When he saw the familiar huge figure in front of him, he immediately recognized that it was Vegapunk's imitation of the ancient robot, Vegafunk 01.
Seeing that the other party was about to sink, Al quickly opened his mouth and shouted loudly to the giant robot: "Wait a minute!"
After hearing what El said, Lilith stopped the dive command and wanted to see what the Shichibukai in front of her had to say.
Seeing the robot stop sinking, Al turned around and asked, "Nami, how much money do we have on board now?"
With his appearance, the whole team seemed to have found a backbone, and the originally nervous and uneasy mood was instantly relieved.
Nami quickly calculated and replied, "Excluding everyone's daily pocket money, I probably have nearly 46 billion berries in cash."
El nodded slightly and said the words that Nami hated to hear the most, "Then lend me 45 billion berries first, okay? I will find a way to make the money back later."
Nami was a little frustrated when she heard what El said, but she still supported El's decision.
"Since you need it, then use it. After all, most of this money is earned by us thanks to you, Captain."
With Nami's permission, El brought Robin and walked to the side of the ship near the giant robot and said loudly to it: "Hello, I am El from the El Pirates, Big Bear is my good friend, and the one next to me is Dr. Clover's junior. The most we can provide on the ship is 45 billion berries as a token of good faith. Can we find a suitable place for us to have a good talk? Dr. Vegapunk."
After hearing what Al said, everyone looked at the huge robot in front of them in surprise.
Indeed, only Vegapunk, the genius scientist who was five hundred years ahead of the world in technology, could create such an amazing work.
Then, a protective shield slowly opened on the giant robot's head, and a young woman walked out.
She smiled at Al and said, "What a generous pirate! You are the most generous person I have met in all these years. All right, prepare the money, and I will take you to the island right away."
Dashigi quietly asked Al, "Captain, the legendary genius scientist Vegapunk shouldn't be a woman, and her age doesn't seem to match. Were we fooled by her?"
Nami, who possesses the ability of Observation Haki, became nervous when she heard Tashigi's whisper. This was a huge sum of 45 billion berries. If she was cheated out of it, she would really want to die.
Al comforted everyone not to worry and explained: "She is a clone of Dr. Vegapunk. Don't worry, she won't be wrong."
Nami felt relieved after hearing El's answer.
Chapter 114: Meeting Vegapunk (Please recommend and collect)
Then, the giant robot lifted up the Orange Windmill with one hand, started the thrusters behind it, and flew them into the sky.
Soon, Egghead Island Egghead appeared in front of them.
This ultra-modern futuristic urban-style island amazed all the girls.
Even the Germa Kingdom, which prides itself on its technology, is nowhere near as good as this place.
"Down there is where the factory workers and researchers live," the giant robot explained to them, "and I'm going to take you to the research level above the clouds."
When they arrived at the research floor, Nami couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect there was a sky island here! It's really nostalgic."
After hearing her words, Perona and the other two, who had never been to Sky Island, followed Nami's steps, jumped lightly onto the clouds, and felt this wonderful environment.
At this time, Lilith had already put away the Orange Windmill and Bega Force No. 1, and jumped lightly from the console.
She explained: "Here, we control the air conditioning system of the entire island to adjust the salt crystals and water vapor density, imitating the sky island to create sky island clouds and sea clouds."
Robin looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "Even Sky Island can be created out of thin air. Dr. Vegapunk's technology is incredible. He deserves the title of being five hundred years ahead of the world."
Under the guidance of Lilith, Al led his companions to a reception room carrying a box containing Berry.
"Wait here for a moment," Lilith said, "The real body will be here soon."
After saying this, she collected all the berries and left the room.
Shortly after Lilith left, the system in Al's mind, like an isolated small village that had just been connected to the Internet, suddenly sent a prompt in Al's mind.
[Unknown large database discovered, requesting to establish connection immediately]
Al immediately realized that the so-called large database should refer to Vegapunk's separated brain.
Faced with this unprecedented proactive request from the system, Al agreed to its application immediately without any hesitation.
[The connection request has been approved. We are working hard to synchronize and read the database data. Please wait patiently...]
Al's eyes were fixed on the slowly advancing progress bar in his mind. Time seemed to be stretched at this moment, and every second was full of anticipation and unknown.
Just as he was immersed in waiting, the space in the reception room suddenly twisted, and an indescribable force surged.
Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in front of everyone in an instant, as if traveling through time and space.
He was an old man with white hair and a strange apple-shaped skull cap. Although his face looked old, his eyes sparkled with childlike curiosity and excitement.
The most striking thing is that his tongue almost extends to his abdomen, adding an indescribable weirdness to this sudden scene.
"Welcome, I'm Vegapunk." After a brief self-introduction, he turned to Robin and said with a smile: "It's nice to meet you, the successor of O'Hara's will, Miss Robin."
Robin heard this, and a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes: "You... know me?"
"Dr. Clover and I have been friends for many years. After the tragedy in O'Hara, I went there specifically to pay tribute to this old friend." Vegapunk explained, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
Then, he turned to Al and said, "You must be Al. I didn't expect that you would get the fruit I sealed in Punk Hazard."
El stood up and saluted Vegapunk: "Dr. Vegapunk, thank you for creating this fruit. It gave me the power to protect my companions. I came here to express my gratitude to you in person."
However, Vegapunk shook his head slightly, with a barely perceptible regret in his eyes. "That fruit is actually a failure among my many works. It cannot be called a masterpiece. But the berries you brought are of great help to the progress of my ongoing research."
Upon hearing this, Weiwei couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Doctor, you said that the fruit was a failure. Does it have any hidden dangers?"
Hearing Weiwei's question, Vegapunk's expression revealed a bit of the rigor of a scientist, "Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit turned green, while the one I made turned pink. Isn't such an obvious difference the most direct evidence of a failure?
Vegapunk's answer was beyond the expectations of everyone present. They had not guessed that just because of the difference in color, Vegapunk would judge such a powerful devil fruit as a failure.
He went on to say, "Based on my research, I think the so-called devil fruit is actually the possibility of human evolution, but this unnatural evolution is hated by the ocean, the mother of life."
Everyone present was surprised to hear Vegapunk's definition of Devil Fruit.
After all, he created a true artificial devil fruit, subverting the iron rule that the ability could not appear in two people at the same time.
So no matter how ridiculous Vegapunk's words were, everyone felt that this might be the truth.
"No matter what the reason is for judging that fruit to be a failure, I am very grateful to you, Doctor. Moreover, I personally admire your dedication to the concept of peace over the years. If you are willing, I may be able to continue to provide you with the funds you need for research."
A curious look appeared on Vegapunk's face. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Oh? How can you continue to provide funding for my research? You know, if the amount is too small, it may not be able to meet my needs."
When Al stepped into the reception room, he had already used the Voice of All Things to confirm that there was no surveillance equipment around.
Apparently, Vegapunk had learned his lesson from his deal with Bartholomew Kuma and how to avoid the surveillance of the Five Elder Stars, Saint Satan.
Even so, Al remained highly alert. He lowered his voice with a hint of mystery in his tone: "Dr. Vegapunk, what we are going to discuss next needs to be kept absolutely confidential. The content of this conversation cannot be synchronized to Punk's records and known to your clone."
After hearing Al's words, the figure of this genius scientist suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Robin, take everyone around first. I'll come find you guys after I talk to the doctor."
After hearing what Al said, Robin immediately understood what he meant. Reiju might still be under the control of her father, so everyone needed to be avoided from the rest of the conversation.
Shortly after Robin and his group left, Vegapunk teleported into the reception room again.
"Okay now. I have set up an independent memory line to save the content of our conversation today. I guarantee that it will not be synchronized to Punk's records. Please feel free to tell me your plan."
Chapter 115: Secret Meeting (Please recommend and collect)
He looked at the empty reception room and said, "Have all your crew members gone out? Then I'll let Shakya entertain them for me."
After saying this, he contacted Sakya through the earphones in his ears, while he continued to communicate with Al.
