Without a doubt, this is a magical sea.

Mysterious Devil Fruits, countless fantastic islands, all sorts of wacky races......

No one will doubt this.

But if we talk about "science", then many people's first reaction is actually "true".

Is science real?

Is all science something within common sense, and all traces to follow?

Definitely!

[The world's first scientist] Vegapunk knows this truth very well.

If we want to make the science and technology of the modern era go further, it is absolutely impossible to stick to the "conventional".

You must always be mentally prepared to understand those things that are "unconventional"!

Therefore, when Lindsay shoehorned the A-3 into the energy bin of the ancient ship, the first person to react was Vegapunk!

……

Click-la-la-la!

The entire interior of the ancient ship reverberated with the screeching sound of metal grinding.

“？！”

Everyone couldn't understand it for a while, and two voices came from their ears.

Lindsey and Vegapunk, one in the energy bin of an ancient ship, the other in the wheelhouse of an ancient ship.

The two of them shouted in unison: "The energy is accumulated, ready to set sail!" ”

“……”

What energy source?

What was filled into the originally empty energy warehouse?

A-3?!

It was only at this moment that everyone reacted and understood Lindsay's plan.

The current situation no longer allows everyone to slowly recharge the ancient ships, and both time and method are big problems.

And if you want to make a "dead" machine move again, the fastest and most convenient way is, of course, to directly "change the battery"!

Where is the "battery"?

Actually, it's all over the place.

Whether it's the Thunder Fruit Ability "Tezzolo", the Shining Fruit Ability "Yellow Ape", or the group of replicating robots outside, they can theoretically provide sufficient energy for ancient ships.

But after all, the stability of ancient ships is unknown.

Tezzolo is his own person, and the yellow ape is not hostile at the moment, so naturally he can't treat the two of them as a "battery".

What about the group of replication bots out there?

A single replicating robot has too little energy and adds up to too much volume.

Therefore, looking at it as a whole, turning the A-3 into a "battery" and installing it in an ancient ship is really the best solution!

……

Click, click, click, click!

The cacophony continued.

A-3 certainly couldn't sacrifice itself for the sake of the crowd, and its battle with Evan Lindsey continued.

The two were huddled together in a small energy warehouse, and they fought one after another at great speed.

The movement of one move and one style is far less great than before, but the power has not decreased but increased, and the danger is even more dangerous than before!

Swish! Swish!

A-3 tore himself in half, half of his body condensed into a large sword, and slashed down at Lindsay.

Lindsay spread her wings and used them as shields, choosing to eat the sword.

Click!

The entire ancient ship was trembling violently from this blow.

"Aha!"

A-3 grinned his fangs and looked up at Lindsay's wings, where the slash marks were clearly visible.

Obviously, the sword of A-3 just now was so strong that even Lindsay's wings were injured.

"A few more strikes, and your wings will break!"

This is indeed the case.

Because strictly speaking, the outbreak of fierce melee combat in the energy warehouse is very disadvantageous for Lindsay.

The A-3 originally wanted to drag everyone to their deaths, and of course did not care whether the ancient ship was intact or not.

It's okay if it's all ruined!

But if Lindsay wants to leave with everyone, ancient ships are definitely the best means of transportation.

A-3 hit, Lindsay Shou.

This can only be the case at this stage!

Moreover, the more A-3 played, the more excited it became, and the feeling gradually became hotter, and it began to try to further develop the sparkling fruit.

After all, it is also "Evan Lindsay", and the bloodline factor of [Demon] is surging in the mechanical body.

"Speed is weight, volume is destructive power, Lao Tzu is the strongest light!"

Ode!

A-3 avatars a streamer, shuttling back and forth in the cramped energy chamber.

Lindsay was forced to defend, but A-3 took the opportunity to slash several times, and even the wings on his back were forced to be retracted.

"Drink—"

The low roar was accumulating, but A-3 didn't care.

"Can you hold it? You! Lao Tzu is light! ”

Swish!

The final blow fell, and Lindsay fell to the ground.

A-3 intends to escape from the energy tank and destroy the entire ancient ship.

However, as soon as it came to the gap in the energy warehouse, part of its body was forced to release its elementalized state.

“？！”

After a closer look, A-3 found that there was a thin layer of "seawater curtain" hoarded on the side of the gap in the energy warehouse!

"Hmmm......"

Lindsay's muffled grunt came faintly, and he himself got up from the ground.

Scratching his head, twisting his neck again.

Cracking sound......

Lindsay slowly got up and muttered, "Have you ever been to Fish-Man Island?" ”

“……”

A-3 did not respond, and it certainly did not go.

Lindsey went on to explain: "There is no 'light' on Fish-Man Island under the sea. ”

"So you should have something to be afraid of—"

"The dark, dark, and shadowy seabed."

Swish!

Lindsay spreads her fingers and squeezes hard!

The "seawater curtain" in the gap in the energy compartment was immediately retracted, further compressing the activity space of A-3.

A-3, who is a capable person, is constrained by the sea and is forced to retreat one after another, and is finally choked by Lindsay's neck.

A tattered ancient weapon-colored domineering entwined around it, oppressing A-3's oxygen-feeding bionic system.

“……”

A few drops of engine oil were squeezed out of the corners of A-3's mouth.

He also wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but was forced down by Lindsay.

The big head rushed down and fell into the energy warehouse.

The body is severely damaged, and the inner energy of the glittering fruit is about to explode.

Lindsay took the opportunity to dodge out, grabbed another piece of metal baseplate, and barely sealed the gap in combination with the form of the Dikui.

Rumble!

There was a muffled sound in the energy chamber, followed by the excited voice of Vegapunk.

"It's successful, the energy tank is fully charged!"

Lindsay shook her wings and returned to the cabin of the ancient ship to join the crowd.

At the same time, the six "clones" of Vegapunk also got out of trouble smoothly and were rushing all the way in the direction of the ancient ships through the passage.

It's just that the six of them have clearly experienced something, and the speed of running is getting faster and faster.

The [evil] Lilith led by the leader, even cried while running:

"Hey, Body, speed up the start of the ship! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

“……”

Vegapunk was slightly puzzled.

But before he could share the information in his mind, [Integrity] Shakya took the first step to explain:

"Before we could take back control of the Institute, the Replicating Robots had activated the self-destruct mechanism here!"

"Move fast, or it's too late to evacuate!"

At this moment, everyone understood.

Roxinandi was even more puzzled: "You scientists seem to like self-detonation devices very much? ”

Vegapunk hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, it's actually just me, after all, the self-detonation device is the romance of the institute." ”

Everyone: "......"

There was no word for a while.

Soon, six Vegapunk doppelgangers boarded the ship one after another and entered the cabin.

At the same time, the sound of self-detonation warnings in the institute became more and more harsh.

Vegapunk motioned for everyone to stand firm, and then gave an order, activating the ancient ship.

Hmm-

Rumble!

The ship's internal engines roared, and then the engines at the stern erupted in waves, propelling the entire ship diagonally upwards.

Ode!

Ancient ships soared into the sky and climbed faster and faster.

Through the window on the side of the wheelhouse, everyone could already see the navy ship that had just gone to sea.

At this very moment, the Punk Hazard Institute - self-destructed!

Rumble!

A violent explosion sparked a raging fire.

Seeing this scene, Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief and sighed to the yellow ape beside him: "Fortunately, the navy evacuated in time. ”

“……”

No one responded.

When he turned his head, he saw that the yellow ape had already walked to the door not far away.

He rubbed his chin and muttered faintly:

"Sure enough, it's still terrible to act with a wanted criminal......"

"Let's go, Sentomaru."

Sentomaru: "......"

Sentomaru: "? ”

Sentomaru didn't react at all, so he was grabbed by the yellow ape, and then took him out of the wheelhouse, jumped from the ancient ship in the sky, and fell straight into the sea directly below.

？！

The yellow ape is gone?

Yes, gone.

Proof of this is the shouts of Sentomaru that echo in mid-air.

"It hurts to fall!"

"Uncle, what the hell are you doing——!

"Ahh......h

Poof!
