Bright picked up the fiery red fruit.

This is, of course, a Devil Fruit.

But it's not your average Devil Fruit.

It's a man-made Devil Fruit, and it's likely to be the first man-made Devil Fruit in this world.

When Bright was brought here, no one gave him his name or address.

But he knew where it was, and he knew that it was the government's secret experimental base, the island of Punk Hazard.

Well, this fruit should be here!

Crafted by Vegapunk himself, based on Kaido's bloodline factor, a replica of the Phantom Beast Seed Green Dragon Fruit!

Although Vegapunk thinks that the fruit has failed, Bright knows that it may not be the case!

Momonosuke, who ate this fruit by chance in the future, showed the ability to be exactly the same as Kaido, but only the original reproduction.

In all likelihood, it is not a failure.

Of course, it is also possible that Momonosuke is really the chosen one, with a special bloodline, which resurrects this failed fruit, not to mention that it also has abilities comparable to the original.

But now Bright can't care so much.

After a failed attempt to reach the port, he was already cornered.

The so-called plan B is nothing more than a gamble on luck.

What if this fruit Vegapunk hasn't been made yet?

What if the fruit isn't in this room?

What if this room is heavily guarded and you can't enter?

If he could just jump into the sea and escape, how could he come here to try his luck?

If he could, how could he eat Devil Fruits as a fishman? Still don't know if there are artificial devil fruits that work?

Bright wasn't a genius, he just couldn't do anything.

Luckily, it seems that Lady Luck is on his side today.

Now it depends on whether Lady Luck is willing to give her last favor.

Bright wiped the dust off the fruit, opened his mouth wide, and took a bite of it.

When the flesh entered his mouth, Bright couldn't help but frown.

The straw hat kid is certified to be unpalatable, and the gold content is really enough.

The flesh is neither crisp nor soft and glutinous, and it is so slimy that it is almost like swallowing snot into your mouth, and you can't chew it even if you stick it in your mouth.

Not to mention the taste, Aaron's cooking is a hundred times tastier than it, and Bright has a hard time finding the right adjectives to describe the taste with his own vocabulary.

But now was not the time to be squeamish, and Bright swallowed the whole fruit in two bites.

What if the quality control of artificial devil fruits is not strict, and you can't get the ability without eating them all?

So, Lady Luck, once again, lend me luck.

Bright took a deep breath.

Whether you become a fish-man who can't swim for nothing, or have the power of a phantom beast and get a chance to escape, it's up to you now!

At the same time, there were more and more navies outside the door, and even the rear admiral who had blocked the door before had already arrived here, and the navy under black pressure blocked the passage.

"Prepare for a storm."

The major general said solemnly, "Follow me above the colonel and try to save that guy's life." ”

"Yes."

The admirals nodded in unison.

The major general's hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

For him, who has mastered the domineering, the heavy metal door in front of him is nothing.

"Wait."

But it was at this time that a slightly sleepy voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

The navies were stunned for a moment, then turned around in unison, and then made a way.

"Doctor?"

The rear admiral looked at the man who was slowly walking along the path that the navy had away, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

The man had messy hair, was tall, a middle-aged man, and wore a pair of big glasses.

The body is a white coat with a T-shirt and jeans, which looks casual.

It doesn't look amazing, but even the Major General's Excellency has the same great respect for him.

Because, his name is, Vegapunk.

"That kid has escaped into my locker, of course I'm going to have to come and see it."

Vegapunk had a weird smile on his face, "What if you destroy my treasures?" ”

The major general smiled bitterly, "Doctor, aren't those all failures?" ”

"It's because it's a failure, so it's a treasure!" Vegapunk rightly said, "For me, failure is much more memorable than success." ”

The major general was helpless.

This doctor is indeed qualified to say such things.

It is true that there are far fewer failures than successes in his hands.

"What do you want to do, doctor?"

The leader of the entire naval scientific corps is, of course, the chief scientist of the government in front of him.

"It's a funny guy who thought of using my collection to find a chance to turn the tables in desperation."

Vegapunk smiled and said, "Let me go in and talk to him." ”

"Doctor, are you serious?" The major general was dumbfounded.

"Huh? Are you questioning me? Vegapunk glanced at him.

"No, don't dare."

The major general could only smile bitterly.

Doctor, you're a civilian, anyway!

Behind that heavy metal door.

Bright sat on a platform that was supposed to be used to store things, looking up at the ceiling above.

Which is simpler, piercing the top, and then chiseling through the whole mountain, or opening the door and going out, and piercing through all the navies that stand in the way?

There was a calm smile on his lips.

Laugh at!

At this moment, there was a sharp sound through the crack in the gate over there.

Is it cutting the door lock?

Bright stood up and walked to the side of the door to avoid a wave of fire when it opened.

He took a deep breath.

And then.

Fiery red scales emerge from the skin, legs begin to look like anti-joints, a thick tail grows from the back of the buttocks, and most importantly, two pairs of sharp horns on the forehead snaking out.

Bright has turned into a tall dragonman who is fiery red!

Once again, Lady Luck favored him.

The Devil Fruit had indeed succeeded, and Brett could now declare it so loudly.

After gaining the ability, Bright ushered in a reborn change.

His strength and physique have increased dramatically, and his tough dragon scales have even made Bright confident that he can withstand bullets, and even the injury on his shoulder is almost healed.

What's more, although he can't swim anymore, he can fly now!

He already has the ability to escape.

Bright's palms were oozing water again, ready to go.

Click.

The lock was finally sawn and the door was pushed open.

Bright held his breath.

"Boy, don't be in a hurry, I'm the only one, let's talk."

There was a sound outside the door, and then a man walked in.

Bright was stunned for a moment, "Vegapunk? ”

The person who walked through the door was Vegapunk, and although he hadn't met twice, Bright certainly couldn't forget what this guy looked like.

Why did this guy get here?

Moreover, he actually turned around and closed the door!

What exactly does the Navy think?

"Huh?"

After closing the door, Vegapunk turned around, and then, he saw Bright at this time.

"Oh!!"

The man's eyes lit up at once, and he quickly ran to Bright and observed him almost obsessively, "You ate that fruit?!" ”

"Hahahaha, the person it is waiting for, is that you? Oh, it's fiery red, huh? I thought it would be a little softer? ”

Bright was stunned for a moment.

What do you mean?

What do you mean by someone it's waiting for?

Could it be that this guy has long known that this fruit has not failed?

But none of that matters anymore.

Bright looked at Vegapunk in front of him and was secretly happy.

Even if you get the ability, if you want to escape, you will have to go through a bloody battle, and you may not even be able to escape.

But here's your chance!

As long as you can catch Vegapunk and use him as a hostage, it will be easy to get out of here!

"I was just going to give you a little bit of peace, but now it seems- haha, boy,"

When Bright was about to make a move, Vegapunk suddenly said, "How about making a deal?" ”

What?
