Chapter 13: Freedom

The time has finally come.

The timing was just right.

Bright couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I just ate all the fruits today, and Jinping's rescue has already arrived.

Is there anything better than being able to escape immediately after the bloodline fusion is upgraded?

He looked at Vegapunk expectantly.

So, it's time to fulfill the last promise, right?

"What a cunning, Lieutenant General,"

Vegapunk said annoyedly, "Do you actually leave such a troublesome matter to me to deal with?" ”

"Because of your words, no matter what decision you make, the higher authorities will not do anything to you."

The lieutenant general sighed, "But I'm different, I'm thinking about retiring home and taking care of my children now." ”

"I can't help it."

Vegapunk shook his head and smiled very reasonably, "Then, Major General Haag, send this kid back first, and I'll discuss this matter with the lieutenant general." ”

Haag gritted his teeth.

What else is there to discuss!

He wanted to say something, but Lieutenant General Occam nodded, "Yes, Hag, you bring him back first, and we can discuss it." ”

Haag was stunned, the two most powerful people in this base made a decision at the same time, of course, he had no way to disobey, so he could only walk to Bright's side, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Come back with me." ”

Although Bright wanted to stay and hear what the final result was, he finally chose to leave quietly.

Next, leave it to Vegapunk.

However, you also have to be prepared.

In the event of any adverse circumstances, violence should be taken immediately.

With the two Bright leaving, only Vegapunk and Lieutenant General Occam were left in the lab.

The lieutenant general smiled and said, "So, doctor, what are your thoughts?" ”

"I'll show you something."

Vegapunk walked over to the well-sealed cabinet, opened the door, pulled out a compartment, and pulled out a reagent from it.

Then casually threw it to Lieutenant General Occam.

"Oh, be careful, Doctor."

Mr. Lieutenant General took the reagent lightly, and then took it in front of his eyes and shook it, the inside of the test tube was a red liquid, crystal clear like a flowing crystal.

"Doctor, what is this?" He already had a guess in his mind.

"The time is just right."

Vegapunk lazily closed the cabinet door and leaned against it, "Based on that kid's bloodline factor, the elixir researched can allow users to fuse the bloodline of the fishman to a certain extent and enhance the basic ability." ”

"Oh?"

The lieutenant general's eyes lit up, "Has it already succeeded?" ”

"That kid helped a lot."

Vegapunk said casually, "To be honest, I have a good impression of him. ”

"Oh, I see, so what do you meanβ€”"

"He doesn't know what I'm studying, and he probably doesn't know the name and location of this base, so it doesn't matter if he is released."

"So?"

Lieutenant General Occam nodded, "But will there be some risks?" ”

Vegapunk rolled his eyes, "I'll contact the headquarters and tell them it's my decision." ”

"That's great!"

Mr. Lieutenant General instantly smiled.

In this way, even if there is really any trouble in the future, it has nothing to do with him, and he can happily wait for retirement.

On the way back, Bright was in anticipation with apprehension.

To be honest, he didn't understand the Vegapunk guy at all until now.

Will he keep the promise?

I don't know.

In short, be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Haag quietly followed Bright's back, his hand firmly pressed against the hilt of the sword at his waist.

That bastard lieutenant general!

What the hell are you thinking?

Looking for Vegapunk's opinion?

Haag couldn't have imagined what kind of decision that guy would make.

After all, judging from his reaction before, he has a good impression of this fish-man scum!

Could it be that this fish-man can really escape?

Haag absolutely could not accept it.

After sending Bright back to his prison, Hag made his way to Vegapunk's lab, but the door to the lab was closed, and Vegapunk was back experimenting.

Haag then turned around and went to the base chief's office.

This time, he managed to meet the base commander, Lieutenant General Occam.

"Lieutenant General, what is the doctor's decision? What did he decide to do with the fish-man? He asked anxiously.

"You really care about that fish-man, Major General Hag,"

The lieutenant general said with some surprise, "The doctor said that he liked the fish-man pirate very much, and the experiment had been completed, so he said that he would let him go, and he had already reported to the headquarters, and Mr. Kong had already agreed." ”

"How can this be!"

The muscles in Haag's cheeks were trembling, "That guyβ€”"

The lieutenant general said kindly, "Don't get excited, Major General Haag, this is the doctor's decision, I and the headquarters have agreed, you don't need to question it." ”

"No, Lieutenant General, I can't take it! Mr. Polusalino told me to stare at him! Haag almost blurted out.

"Alright, Major General!"

Occam frowned, "Polusalino's opinion is important, but the doctor's will and the decision of the headquarters are more important, find out your identity!" ”

"You're here just in time, so it's up to you to inform the fish-man about it, and we'll have someone take him away in a few days."

"Now get out and close the door."

Haag walked out of the base chief's office.

The lieutenant general also seems to be dissatisfied with him.

Damn, it's all because of that fish-man!

He turned around and headed for Bright's prison.

Haag's face turned pale.

Brett is exercising in prison, using physical grinding to suppress excitement.

Then suddenly, the door of the cell was pushed open.

An old acquaintance, Major General Haag, walked in.

Bright subconsciously turned his head to look at him, with apprehension.

Then, after seeing the face of Major General Haag with a hint of thunderous anger, all of Bright's uneasiness vanished.

He couldn't help but smile.

"Major General Haag, is there anything you want to tell me?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hag felt that the smile of the fish-man in front of him was very piercing.

The fists were clenched to the point that the nails almost sank into the flesh.

"Your tactics have succeeded, and Vegapunk has decided to release you."

The smile on Bright's face could no longer be suppressed, such a smile could be called bright, "Really? That's great news. ”

Vegapunk, good brother!

Haag's face was as gloomy as water, and he stepped forward and lowered his voice, his low voice was like thunder, "Don't be complacent, fishman!" Don't think you can get away with it forever!! ”

Bright didn't even bother to pay attention to him, just silently continued to exercise, just incompetent and furious.

This wordless contempt made Haag's forehead tremble, he was sure that he couldn't do anything about it, right?

He wanted to say more cruel words, but suddenly felt that that would only make him more like a clown.

Not wanting to see the fish-man smug again, Haag turned and left.

Closing the cell door, he didn't bother to stand in front of it any longer, and walked with heavy steps towards his lodgings.

Are you going to just let this bastard fishman go?

Let this scum who disgrace himself in front of his superiors leave?

Are you kidding!

It's just a fishman!

Let yourself suffer losses, and still want to leave like this, how can there be such a cheap thing!

The Major General's hand gripped the hilt of the saber tightly.

In anticipation, Bright waited quietly for several days.

Freedom should be at hand.

After a few days, the eight fruits that I had eaten before also began to take effect.

New abilities are being created gradually.

Bright was glad that his body hadn't become oddly shaped because of this, even though these abilities had generated a lot of organs in his body that he didn't have before.

While looking forward to the moment of freedom, Bright secretly experienced his new abilities.

Although it is a bloodline that can be activated with the help of Devil Fruit abilities, it can also be useful when the ability is not used.

The body is changing rapidly.

Then, a week and four days later, in the morning, the door of the cell was pushed open.

Bright, who had just finished breakfast, turned his head almost like lightning.

Unexpectedly, it was Vegapunk who came in.

"Doctor?"

Bright was a little surprised, what was he here for?

"Congratulations, boy, you're free."

Vegapunk smiled and said, "I'm here to see you off." ”

Bright was stunned for a moment, then he stood up, "Finally?" ”

"Yes, finally."

Vegapunk grinned and said, "Now I can finally go to the sea and make a big fuss!" ”

"Makes a fuss? Forget it. ”

Bright shook his head, "I'd rather live a more peaceful life." ”

After the Straw Hat and his allies overthrow the World World Government, the Draconians and the mysterious man known as Im, explore this beautiful world on their own.

Safety first, no shuddering.

"Really? Such statements are rare for the strong. ”

Vegapunk was a little surprised, although Bright is not a strong man yet, but he will become a strong man sooner or later.

"But it doesn't matter, just as you please." Vegapunk stretched, "Let's go, boy, get you to the port, it's time to embrace freedom." ”

"Hmm."

Bright nodded heavily.

I've been waiting for this moment for more than half a year.
