Arceus' Pirate Journey

Originally, Snow Walker was destroyed by the Rust-Rust Fruit user Shuen when the Straw Hat Pirates escaped from Judicial Island. The remaining part was buried on the Thriller Bark. Without experiencing these things, Snow Walker was naturally not destroyed, but has been following Zoro as a substitute.

"Roronoa, your persistence in this area is second to none in the world. This is today's newspaper. Vegapunk is dead. The development of this ocean is becoming more and more incomprehensible."

"Vegapunk? Who is that? I think I've heard of this name before..."

"You... forget it, I shouldn't have told you this."

Hawkeye is not mute, and he will communicate a few words when there are people around him, but Zoro is not very concerned about these outside things.

This resulted in the only common topic between Hawkeye and him being swordsmanship. Apart from that, Zoro basically couldn't keep up the conversation.

......

"Dead?! That bastard just died like that?!"

Somewhere in the New World, in the Bonney Pirates, Joelle Bonney was so angry when she saw the information in the newspaper that she even kicked over the table in front of her which had a lot of food on it.

She is the daughter of the bear, and in her perception, it was Vegapunk who transformed her father, turning him from an extremely gentle person into a cold war machine.

She has always wanted to capture Vegapunk and make him change the bear back. Now that Vegapunk is dead, how to restore her father has become an unsolvable problem.

She was so angry that she even neglected food, which was most important to her. This unexpected change completely interrupted her train of thought and made her confused about the future.

Also in the New World, Crocodile lit his cigar, looked at the information in the newspaper and took a deep breath.

"The world's number one scientist has died. Now, in this ocean, it is really impossible to survive without strength."

After gaining enlightenment in prison, Crocodile realized again the importance of his own strength. The incident with Vegapunk was a wake-up call for him that simply relying on external things would not work.

"Mr. 1, let's go. Your rusty body needs more exercise."

......

On the White Earth Island, Baldigo, Long also frowned as he watched the follow-up reports about the Egghead incident.

"Chief, what's wrong with you?"

"Just remembered some things."

Over twenty years ago, Long had seen Vegapunk at O'Hara's site.

Although all the beasts had emptied out everything there, the deep pit and traces of the Demon-Slaying Order left behind made the outside world believe that everyone was dead.

During the memorial service, Long tried to recruit Vegapunk, but was rejected for a very realistic reason: Long had no money.

The research on Vegapunk required a huge amount of funds, and the Revolutionary Army, which was still in its infancy at the time, could not afford the cost.

What made Long even more confused was that some time ago, Vegapunk had asked Shakya to contact him, as if he was intending to deliver some kind of message, but before he received the result, Vegapunk was gone.

The abnormality of the beasts and the mystery left by Vegapunk make Dragon feel very heavy about the future.

......

On an island near Elbaf, the Red Hair Pirates are holding a banquet, but their vice-captain Beckman is missing.

"Boss, it's confirmed. It was really Beasts who killed Vegapunk. All the information from all sources indicates that he is dead."

"What are the beasts trying to do now? This is not their style..."

Shanks, who was drunk, didn't understand the abnormal behavior of the beasts. Outsiders could not understand this kind of hatred.

It is impossible to figure out the reason just by imagination, so Shanks simply put the matter behind him and planned to wait and see how the future develops before making a new decision. At this time, Beckman came back on a small boat.

"Solve it?"

"It's been handled. I crippled one of his arms to teach him a lesson. Even though he has survived in the New World for almost two years, he is still a rookie."

"Well done, come on and keep drinking, the party isn't over yet!"

Shanks pulled Beckman over. Some time ago, the captain of the Kidd Pirates, Eustachi Kidd, challenged Red Hair and paid a heavy price for it.

Kidd had his arm chopped off by Beckman before he even saw Shanks.

If Red Hair wasn't in a good mood, Kidd's voyage would have come to an end. Shanks looked like a good guy, but he was also one of the emperors of the sea.

When the cause of Vegapunk's death was fermenting, in the future country - Balkimoia, which is Vegapunk's hometown, a broken robot walked out of the sea and walked towards the past laboratory...

Chapter 1131 Franky and Punk

Balkimoia, a winter island in the Grand Line, is known as the country of the future on the Mechanical Island. This island with a harsh cold climate is covered with steel jungles. It is the hometown of Vegapunk and the place where Franky was slapped away by the bear.

Once York determined her location, her nearby hometown became her destination.

The research materials of Vegapunk when she was young are kept here. A large number of documents are sealed in the laboratory, and the laboratory has a complete system. If she returns here, she can repair her body in a short time.

Although this body assembled from Xixi's parts is usable, its functions are very poor and she can't even taste the food.

But when she arrived here safely, she was stunned by the scene before her.

"No way, did that woman attack this place as well? There really is nothing left..."

These clones shared Vegapunk's memories. In York's understanding, this should be a huge laboratory, but what appeared before her was a very dilapidated laboratory.

A large area became dilapidated, and even the gate was temporarily sealed with wooden boards.

It looked like there had been a massive explosion, which had blown the lab upside down from the inside.

"This seems to be the effect of the self-destruct device left behind... What happened here?"

She remembered that Vegapunk had left a powerful self-destruct device here to deter people with bad intentions. The tragic situation here was comparable to that in Egghead. It seemed that something serious had happened here during the time she was away.

"The Navy only said something happened here, but they didn't say it was such a big deal..."

At this moment, the navy patrolling in the distance seemed to have discovered York. After seeing the broken mechanical body, they said nothing and immediately opened fire on her.

"That intruder is back! Catch him!"

"The research institute has been blown up. Don't worry about anything anymore. Fire with all your might!"

York, who had just landed, was directly attacked by the navy, and the root of all this can be traced back to Franky.

Before receiving the message from Hero suggesting that Luffy do an interview, Franky wanted to find a boat to leave here, but the climate in Balkimoa is very special. The severe cold makes the sea full of floating ice, making it impossible for ordinary ships to pass.

Only professional icebreakers can sail in this sea area. Only one ship appears regularly here every month. Apart from that, we can only count on the warships that appear here from time to time.

Judging from the situation at the time, it was definitely too late to build a ship by himself. Fortunately, Franky heard a new piece of news.

He heard from the locals he knew that Vegapunk had an icebreaker developed in the early years in his research institute, and he had set his sights on it, wanting to use this ship to leave Balkimoia.

But soon after entering, Franky accidentally touched the self-destruct switch in the laboratory, causing a huge explosion and destroying a large area.

Although this matter was reported to the headquarters by the navy and passed on to Vegapunk, the information changed during the transmission. Vegapunk only knew that something happened here, but he didn't know it was such a big thing.

This has led to York being extremely confused and having no idea what is going on.

When he was young, Vegapunk wanted to create a floor heating system that would cover the entire island in order to change the severe cold in his country, but he ultimately failed. The remaining device was destroyed in the explosion caused by Franky. This incident was called "The Nightmare of the Future Country Balkimore".

Franky's identity as a cyborg prevented him from dying in the explosion, but after the explosion, his entire body was blown beyond recognition, his artificial skin was completely destroyed, revealing the modified body underneath, making him look like a mechanical monster.

The navy officers didn't expect Franky was still in the research institute, and they ignored him because it was dark under the lamp.

So Franky explored the remaining part of the institute and found the weapon invention documents left by Vegapunk. In order not to scare others, he used the tiger skin found in the laboratory as a cover, but was accidentally ignited by the fire while warming himself.

In panic, he escaped from the institute wearing a burning tiger skin and met the navy patrolling outside. His terrifying appearance scared them half to death, and left a legend of the burning spirit beast in Balkimoa.

The broken robot and the burn marks showed that York looked exactly like the invader they were looking for, which eventually led to York being chased by the navy.

"You bastards! I'm Vegapunk! Why don't you stop it?! Contact the Five Elders for me. I'm going to sue you!"

"Vegapunk is dead! You want to impersonate him without even reading the newspaper? Stop!"

"Asshole...if it weren't for this body..."

It took York a lot of effort to get Bing Xixi's body to move so smoothly, and she didn't have any original inventions, otherwise she would never have ended up like this.

As the chase went on, even some modified animals joined the team. Those were Vegapunk's early inventions. Modified and controlled animals were used to replace the labor of the residents and were the predecessors of the Mechanical Sea Beast Corps.

Vegapunk has never been very good when it comes to the authority to create things, and at this time York has no way to control those things at all.

Under the chase, York ran into the forest nearby, and the navy and the beasts kept chasing her closely. Just when she was struggling to figure out how to get rid of these people, a pair of big hands reached out from behind a tree and grabbed her.

......

"It's here again. Last time I came here, I couldn't find anyone. What's going on?!"

"No matter what, the whereabouts of that monster have been exposed. We will be able to find this guy if we stay here."

After a fruitless search, the navy left in disappointment, but a very simple laboratory was hidden under the thick ice and snow.

"You, I saved you, don't you want to say something?"

The one who just pulled York over was Franky who was hiding here. After receiving Luffy's message, he began to study the things left by Vegapunk here and made some progress.

Seeing the navy chasing York, he helped her.

"Tell me something? You're a pretty good thief, you can actually make these things."

Looking at the blueprints in this stronghold, York seemed to have a new plan.

"Thief? You bastard robot, do you want to listen to what you are saying? I was the one who saved you."

Franky spoke word by word, and a small hand stretched out from the front of the reshaped huge arm, making a double middle finger gesture towards York.

"Isn't it? The drawings here are all from my youth. Didn't you steal them?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? These are from when Vegapunk was young..."

"Yes, I am Vegapunk!"

"what?!"

Chapter 1132: A slightly strange bounty and people who share the same feelings

"What did you say???"

Franky scratched his ears, somewhat unconvinced by what York said. He could also read the newspaper here.

Although he didn't know what Vegapunk looked like, Franky saw the news of Vegapunk's death, and the people of Balkimoa even held a memorial service for him.

To Sha Yinna and Jin, Vegapunk is a researcher who has tainted their bloodline, but to the people here, Vegapunk has always been a talented scientist who cares about the people.

Now, this broken robot, and one with a female voice, said it was Vegapunk. Of course, Franky didn't believe it.

"Hehehe, cherish your opportunity. This is an opportunity that no one else can get."

York didn't explain anything, but came to the workbench in front of Franky.

"This design is for a combined robot, right? You must have been stuck here for a long time. Your idea is correct, but you are missing key materials. Ordinary materials cannot do this.

I put it aside because of material problems.

Among the known metals, the best metal for making this kind of robot is the Kobe Steel sold by Baishou, followed by the Wabo alloy that only appeared on the market last year.

Given the conditions here, neither of these two metals can be obtained, so another method must be used."

The expelled Wapol could only make a living by picking up garbage under the bridge and making toys. Thanks to the Swallow-Swallow Fruit, he ate all the messy garbage, and the toys he finally synthesized were found to contain a special memory alloy.

Wapo Alloy is different from Arceus's God Steel. If the technical level is sufficient, these top scientists can also make it, but the quality will be a little worse. After all, the synthesis of human power is still far inferior to the power of devil fruits.

Moreover, the production is limited and it is difficult to popularize.

Wapol is different. He uses the ability of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit to start producing Wapol alloy in large quantities.

Wapol became rich overnight. He first expanded the toy store, then established the manufacturing company Tuntun Factory, and also established the Wapol chaebol. With his huge wealth, he even re-established his regime in the South China Sea.

The amount of Arceus's Sacred Steel that flows out is limited. Usually, Arceus will only make some more when Onigashima needs repairs or when Steel-type Pokémon are running low on nutrients.

Although Wapol could not grab the top market, he quickly occupied the secondary market and became a well-known figure to those who had channels.

"There are enough materials here, so we can make some. The same goes for this weapon system. We should improve it here and there."

She is Vegapunk's clone, but not a simple clone. Vegapunk's six clones are not simple robots, but an alternative replica that infinitely amplifies certain emotions according to different individuals.

York's desire is huge, but she also has good analytical skills. The information stored in Punk's records is gone, but she will not forget what she remembered. It is not difficult for her to remember some things when she sees these ready-made drawings.

This is also her way of proving herself. Franky doesn't know that Vegapunk actually has six clones, so this ability is enough to deal with him.

York's purpose in doing this is very clear. She wants to use Franky's DIY laboratory to repair her body first, and then find those navy officers to contact the Five Elder Stars and make herself the only Vegapunk.

As for the result, it can be seen from the shining eyes of Franky that York has succeeded.

What Frank can learn and gain in this process has nothing to do with York.
