The first day of the year 1521 in the lunar calendar.

Today is also the second day that Asuka entered Punk Hazard Island, and today is also the second day of Thatch's burial.

Marco looked at the whitebeard who was drinking alone with sadness in his eyes, and called out in a low voice.

"Daddy!"

"Huh?"

Whitebeard looked at Marco.

Marco glanced at the somewhat gloomy looking family members on the deck, then transformed his hands into wings, flew into Whitebeard's ear, and whispered.

"Thatch's death may have something to do with Titch!"

When Whitebeard heard the word "Titch", he remembered the middle-aged man with a rough appearance and a burly figure who lacked a few teeth in his mouth... After hearing that it was possible that he had killed Thatch, Whitebeard raised his head to look at the thick night around him, and as he looked at the darkness that seemed to be about to swallow the white mass, a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

...

Meanwhile.

After a day of searching, except for the fact that the birds did not have any major gains, these two guys can be said to have gained a lot.

In general, there are only two ways to enter these labs.

One is the serious way, go through the door.

The other is an unscrupulous way, violent demolition.

The revolutionary army fought the second way, violent demolition,

The reason why the dragon transferred Morrie here was to dig a pit and enter those well-preserved laboratories without alarming the navy, and look for some classified information.

Later, when Maury and the others found that those important laboratories had Hailou stones mixed in the walls, this [pit digging plan] went bankrupt directly.

And then... Asuka came with a [regular way]...

...

Betty and Kerra stood quietly behind Asuka and saw Asuka skillfully enter a string of passwords, and then insert the magnetic stripe.

The door of the laboratory slowly opened.

Then the three of them divided their labor.

Asuka announces the bomb, Betty looks for important information, and Kerra takes pictures.

It is impossible to take the original out, and there are also CP undercover agents on the side of the revolutionary army, so if they find the original and implicate the birds, it will be troublesome.

As for the photos, the source is much easier to explain...

Who knows who is in Vegapunk's experimental team who is an undercover agent of the revolutionary army...

Guess what...

"Whew!"

Kerra, who finally finished taking the photo, patted her chest and nodded at Asuka and Betty.

The three of them then walked out of the lab together, ready to move on to the next.

...

As time passed, the day just passed.

At night.

Asuka led the two to a safe house without the slightest intrusion of poisonous gas.

Betty looked at the very nice safe house in front of her and said with emotion.

"Your navy has taken great pains to protect [Scientist Vegapunk].

It's just that the military spending is used by you in this kind of place, and the military spending in the rest of the places is still enough?

It's like this safe house, which looks like it's been abandoned for years. ”

When Asuka heard the word military expenses, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a somewhat far-fetched smile.

"No way, Vegapunk is important to the Navy.

Who knows when and where Vegapunk will be attacked?

The Navy will only be able to build a large number of safe houses on Punk Hazard Island.

When someone attacks, if Vegapunk has no hope of escaping, he will be taken directly into a safe house and quietly waiting for the support of the Navy Headquarters. ”

Betty gave Asuka a blank look, then took off her protective suit and lay down on the big bed in the safe house.

Asuka took out his phone and called to report the situation while looking for a mechanism in the walls of the safe house, and if he remembered correctly, there seemed to be something to relieve boredom in the safe house in addition to water and food.

Just then, the phone bug was connected.

"I'm Lieutenant Asuka Kikuchi."

"I'm Stoloberry."

"Report to Lieutenant General Stoloberg, the bomb installation in Area 1A has been completed."

"Hard..."

Kicking the hung up phone bug in his arms, Asuka pressed the mechanism on the wall, and suddenly appeared in front of the three of them with daily necessities.

...

After eating, Betty patted her stomach and continued to lie on the bed in the safe house and began to rest.

And Kerra came to this "different" navy.

Today this Navy can take a huge risk to help his own group of people... If you don't say that you have a good impression of the revolutionary army, you must also be dissatisfied with the world government.

It is even possible that the Navy is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, after all, Aaron and his gang have been entrenched in the East China Sea for many years... The top brass of the Navy collectively pretended to be blind and ignored ...

Anyway, Kerra rounded it up...

Asuka ≈ its own people.

The identity of the Asuka Navy ≈ that of an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army.

Thinking of this, Kerra stiffened her head and went to Asuka under Betty's murderous gaze, and asked in a low voice.

"Navy, what do you think of the Revolutionary Army?"

Looking at Kerra, who suddenly asked about the forbidden topic, Betty sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the bird, and then slowly stretched out her index finger and made a self-killing gesture towards her neck.

Asuka glanced at Sister Betty, who was wiping her neck and sticking out her tongue again, and said "shark herself", turned her head to look at Kerra and said seriously.

"You are good.

There are ample opportunities for us to cooperate.

In the future, I will give you all the support except for help. ”

With that, Asuka looked sideways at Betty, and then he saw Betty silently spit out a few big words.

[People... Scum, you... Die... Decide... It's up...]

...

"Whew!"

Asuka spat out a smoke ring and said to Kerra.

"Most of our navy has no opinion on your revolutionary army, you can do whatever you want, just don't affect our work, sometimes the world government gives an order to hunt you down, and we will also carry it out...

We can't talk about friends, but we can't talk about enemies either, we just do our own thing..."

Asuka stood up and stretched, then walked up to Kerra and patted her on the shoulder, continuing.

"You overthrow those tyrannical states, and then replace the throne with a [loving people] king, and that's the limit you can think of.

But it's not called a revolution.

I don't want to point fingers at your revolutionary army, but I just hope that the next time you overthrow others, you will take more care of the commoners in those kingdoms, and every time you overthrow the king, you will just leave and don't care about anything...

Even the destroyed local production is not restored..."

Speaking of this, Asuka looked at the somewhat silent Kerra, pinched her face, and continued.

"In the kingdoms that you overthrown, some civilians who could not survive went to sea to become thieves... Originally, people just wanted to wake up and farm, eat after planting, and sleep after eating...

For such people, what do you say about our Navy?

Take the neutral [Admiral Yellow Ape] in the navy, although he adheres to "ambiguous justice".

In terms of personality, it can be really unpredictable at times.

But he has a principle, you know?

Admiral Yellow Ape thinks that [the crimes of pirates cannot be erased...] Do you think that when our navy encounters pirates on the sea, they will say hello to him first and find out why he went to sea..."

"Whoever wants to be the world government will be the one who is, no matter who is, in this multi-island sea area, especially in the great shipping route, where the magnetic field is chaotic and the islands are almost not connected with each other, no matter who is the world government, no one will need the navy.

So, we Navy don't have any bad feelings towards you, but we don't have any good feelings about you either.

Kerra, if you don't join the Navy with me, I feel that a talent like you is very suitable for the Navy..."

Before Asuka could finish speaking, he felt a murderous aura lock on him.

"Alas!"

After sighing, Asuka glanced at the silent Kerra and trotted to the bed, lay down next to Betty, and whispered.

"I'm okay, right?"

Betty stared at Asuka and nodded expressionlessly.

That's a good point... The old lady's faith almost collapsed...

...

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Area One of Punk Hasad Island.

"This is a scumbag, a pus-shedding fellow, cruel and greedy, repeatedly hiding his ambitions..."

The bird carried the autumn water, walked in front, and listened to someone behind him say bad things about himself.

"Betty..."

Without waiting for Asuka to finish, Betty glared at Asuka through her protective suit and shouted.

"Scum, shut up the old lady."

Later, Betty began to comfort Kerra, whose faith had collapsed.

Through the heavy protective suit, Betty could clearly see Kerra's somewhat confused eyes... Hey, damn scumbag, I knew I wouldn't let Kerr pull over...

...

Asuka walked in front with his head down, listening to the complaints behind him, and pursed his lips.

"Help~Me~"

"I... I don't want to die.. Die here, take me to prison..."

At this moment, Asuka heard a faint cry for help from the ruins next to him, glanced at the ruins, and Asuka turned around and walked slowly.

"Sure enough..."

Looking at the prisoner on the ground who was wearing a prison uniform and his body had begun to petrify, Asuka slowly lifted the autumn water, ending the guy's pain.

Looking at the ruins in front of them, the birds scattered and began to search for them.

There is no breath of life left.

Turning his head and glancing at Betty behind him, the two of Kerra and the two of them, the birds smashed their mouths, and began to call out in their hearts.

"System"

"Spend 10 Dream Points and show me where Vegapunk makes Devil Fruits."

And then...

On all sides of the island, they all called to the birds.

Asuka closed his eyes, feeling the call from all directions, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times.

Well, how many things did Vegapunk make?

Thinking of this, Asuka continued.

"Consume 20 Dream Points to indicate the Devil Fruit created by Vegapunk extracting the Kaido Bloodline Factor..."

This time, the guidance began to become clear.

Feeling the call ahead, Asuka turned his head and beckoned to the two of them, and walked over with the guidance.

...

After opening a lab, Betty waved at the bird in disgust, and with him here, Kerra wouldn't be okay today.

"Cut!"

Asuka gave Betty a blank look and turned to walk in the direction of the Devil Fruit.

With the feeling in his heart, Asuka found that the devil fruit seemed to be under his feet.

...

The bird walked down the passage, and as it went deeper and deeper into the ground, the poisonous gas here became scarcer and rarer.

Let's get off the book

After swiping open several mechanical doors in a row, Asuka finally saw the legendary man-made devil fruit behind one of the doors.

Not to mention, the little thing looks quite chic.

"Whoa".

Asuka shattered the glass cover on the Devil Fruit, then took out the Devil Fruit and examined it carefully.

At this moment, the phone bug in his arms rang.

Purr, no, no...

After Asuka picked up the phone bug, the yellow ape's voice came out of the phone bug's mouth.

"Oh~"

"Asuka, the old man forgot to tell you~~"

"The World Government wants to recycle the Devil Fruit made by Vegapunk~~"

"Don't eat it after you find it, it's a failure~~ It doesn't matter if you can't find it, Vegapunk forgot where to put it."

After listening to the yellow ape, Asuka glanced at the Devil Fruit in his hand, and lightly tapped the air with the fingers of his left hand to send the Devil Fruit to Xia Li.

Looking at the vanished Devil Fruit, Asuka spoke.

"Don't worry, General~~"

"I'll definitely try my best to find it~~"

...

Hanging up the yellow ape's phone, Asuka called Xia Li again to explain the origin of the fruit.
