Chapter 221: Vegapunk
"Why is Bartholomy Bear here?" Trafalgar Rowe found that the Emperor of the Amazon Lily, Boja Hancock, was already standing on the shore as Trafalgar Rowe's submarine approached the shore. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
And there are two men standing next to Boya Hancock, one of whom is actually the "tyrant" Bartholomy Bear, one of the current king's Seven Martial Seas. Trafalgar Rowe couldn't understand why two men suddenly appeared on Nine Snake Island, where men had always been forbidden to go ashore.
And Trafalgar Rowe believed that the other older man must be a big man too, and would not and would not stand with Bartholomy Bear. At least the fact that he was not kicked out of Nine Snake Island by the "Empress" Boya Hancock can conclude that this older man is not simple.
"Is Kid William still alive?" asked the older man first.
A year ago, when William had an accident in the East China Sea, Vegapunk asked Bartholomy Bear to investigate, but nothing came of it. Knowing that William was wanted by the World Government after the civil strife in the Kingdom of Alabastan ended, Vegapunk learned that William was still alive. But at that time, William was already a pirate wanted by the World Government, and Vegapunk couldn't meet William directly because of his identity.
And this time, Vegapunk learned that William's life was dying, so he secretly asked Bartholomy Bear to take him out to find William. As long as Bartholomy Bear has the ability to teleport, Vegapunk can come and go anywhere. Although the current Bartholomy Bear has lost his sense of self, don't forget that the transformation of Bartholomy Bear was done by Vegapunk step by step.
"I just gave him an emergency operation, and I'm still alive for the time being!" Although Trafalgar Rowe was curious about the identity of the other party, he still answered the other party's question because the other party had no malicious intent. But the cautious Trafalgar Rowe asked, "Who are you?"
He had recently broken into the battlefield of Marin Vando and rescued William, who was in danger of his life, though William was just an insignificant figure in the upfront war. But Trafalgar Rowe's actions may have been remembered by the navy, so he had to be careful, especially when Bartholomy Xiong, the king, was still present.
"My name is Vegapunk! Bear is my bodyguard on this trip!" This old man who claims to be Vegapunk is the chief scientist of the Ministry of Science of the World Government, and is known as a genius scientist who surpasses human wisdom by 500 years.
All the crew members of the Hearts were shocked, although most of them may not have heard of Vegapunk's name, but it was definitely not easy to make a person who could make a king of the Seven Martial Seas a bodyguard.
Especially Trafalgar Rowe, who knew the identity of Vegapunk, he really couldn't figure out why William, as a pirate, would have something to do with important figures in the world government! Many of the technologies that have appeared in the current great shipping route were invented by the scientist named Vegapunk in front of him, including the technology of objects "eating" devil fruits, and the pacifist of humanoid weapons.
Trafalgar Rowe didn't expect William to have a relationship with a big man like Vegapunk, and it seemed that he was still very close. However, Trafalgar Rowe did not know that William had been Vegapunk's bodyguard and assistant when he was in the Ministry of Science, and that this was intelligence within the World Government, and that the general public was not interested in this kind of information.
"This time, Kid William is really messing up!" Vegapunk chattered, but he was very worried about William's safety, otherwise he wouldn't have let Bartholomy Bear accompany him to wait for Hearts on Nine Snakes.
Because no one except Bartholomy Bear knew that William had appeared on the island of Nine Snakes not long ago. So Vegapunk only guessed that the Hearts would send William to Nine Snakes based on Bartholomy Bear's intelligence, but he didn't expect to guess correctly.
"You shouldn't have come to see that kid, are you?" Trafalgar Rowe asked directly. As a pirate with a bounty of 200 million and the captain of the Hearts Gang, Trafalgar Rowe had no need to be polite to anyone.
Even if the other party is a genius scientist Vegapunk valued by the world government, and there is also the protection of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas Basolomy Bear by his side. But Trafalgar Rowe will not give face to the opposing camp at all, and even if he can't beat Bartholomy Bear himself, at least there is no problem with his partner (if he really does it, it is not much better than the Straw Hats).
"It's a pirate with a reward of hundreds of millions, it's really cautious!" However, Vegapunk did not intend to answer Trafalgar Rowe's question, and Bartholomy Bear's naked gaze made Trafalgar Rowe give up the idea of continuing to ask.
He didn't know how strong the real Bartholomy Bear was, but he was certainly much stronger than a pacifist. While on Chambord, Trafalgar Rowe and Eustace Kira teamed up to take out a pacifist. Moreover, at that time, Trafalgar Rowe was just trying to escape for his life, and now he does not have any conflict of interest in the face of Bartholomy Bear, so Trafalgar Rowe is reluctant to provoke Bartholomy Bear.
"Are you William's buddies?" Vegapunk saw the people around William, remembering that Bartholomy Bear had told him about William's unidentified buddies before he lost consciousness.
"Are you the one?" The people of the Castle Legion were curious when they saw that it was actually a man they had never met, and they all wondered: Isn't this the coast of Nine Snake Island?
"My name is Vegapunk, and I'm a friend of William the Kid!" Vegapunk introduced himself again, and what Vegapunk was going to do had to be agreed to by William or his partner.
"Are you that genius scientist Vegapunk?" Kerra, Bora and Kalifa, the three women who are good at gathering intelligence, were extremely surprised when they heard the name of Vegapunk, because the name Vegapunk was too loud in the scientific community.
Although the others do not know the identity of Vegapunk, William has mentioned that his technology is related to Vegapunk when he has a technical exchange with Usopp or Carter French. Usopp from the East China Sea may not know who Vegapunk is, but Carter French, who lives on the Great Voyage, does admire Vegapunk.
"Isn't this Rasu and Van Kreed, and Pinault is here, too!" Vegapunk recognized at a glance the cannon on Nokigao's back and Vivi's sword, as well as Pino, who had just escaped from the Holy Land of Mary Joya, as one of his research results (Rasu was a gun in the form of a dachshund that ate the fruit of a dog, Van Kreed was a knife that ate the fruit of an elephant, and Pino was a puppet in the form of a dwarf who had eaten the fruit of a man).
When Pino saw that the old man in front of him actually knew him, he was frightened and quickly hid behind Kerra. It's no wonder that not long after Pino ate the Devil Fruit to gain life and thoughts, he was picked up by the Draconians, and it is not surprising that he was not impressed by the creator of Vegapunk.
After that, after communicating with the Castle Legion, Vegapunk stayed alone to accompany William for half a day. No one knows what Vegapunk did in this half-day period, after all, it is impossible to waste half a day on an unconscious person as Vegapunk.
If it weren't for the fact that the Castle Legion didn't feel hostile to Vegapunk, the Castle Legion wouldn't have let Vegapunk and William be left alone. And the important thing is that William is seriously injured and unconscious, even if the World Government or the Navy wants to send someone to assassinate William, it should not be carried out by a non-combat important person like Vegapunk, maybe it would be more suitable to stand on the shore and hurt Bartholomy Bear!
"What is that old man doing in there?" asked Oji Lin, reluctantly.
"We don't know!" Although everyone was curious about why Vegapunk had to be alone with the unconscious William, they were even curious about the relationship between William and Vegapunk.
And it's also strange that Bartholomy Bear has been standing on the side like a stone, and it is also frightening. At first, even Trafalgar Rowe was always on the lookout for Bartholomy Bear, but later he simply ignored him like the Castle Legion.
"The old man is out!" Although everyone found out about Vegapunk when he came out, everyone found out that Vegapunk was not handled alone, and there was a figure behind him.
