"'Straw Hat Kid' Luffy?"

Vegapunk asked tentatively.

Luffy in the shadows reacted a little and struggled for a while.

But his mouth was sealed with iron sheets, and his voice was muffled.

Vegapunk had no idea what Luffy was trying to say.

After confirming that it was Luffy, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm Vegapunk, sort of...... Your father's old friend of Big Bear. ”

Luffy quieted down and tilted his head, as if trying to figure out where he had heard the name "Vegapunk" and was familiar with it.

As for Vegapunk's hesitant performance when talking about "old friends", Luffy didn't care.

Vegapunk sighed and said to himself:

"In this world, the person who wants to witness your growth is as expected is two meters away from you."

"It's a pity that he has become like this, otherwise he would have a lot to say to you."

He looked at the unresponsive Big Bear, knowing that the Big Bear must have been temporarily disabled, but he continued:

"I don't know if you'll regret it? I regret not taking Bonnie with me, flying away, and giving up on caring about this erosive world. Maybe then at least you will be happy. ”

Vegapunk suddenly lowered his voice at this point.

"Yesterday, a woman you and I both knew, called, and we talked for a long time. She has a very dangerous proposition, and she wants me to get you out. ”

By "the woman he knows", he refers to Stussy, who has now joined the Deep Sea Empire.

"I refused. Sorry, Big Bear, the chances of the plan succeeding are too low, and if it fails, I will pay with my life. This is something I can't afford, I have too many great ideas to come true. ”

"Of course, most of my whimsical ideas that can be funded by the world government are 'weapons'."

"They don't care about technologies that can really help people around the world, such as 'sharing knowledge' and 'island-wide air conditioning'."

The bear still lay stiffly, not even opening its eyes, like a fallen statue.

Vegapunk grew more and more worried.

"I've also wondered if these 'weapons' I have made have long since departed from the original intention of wanting world peace, but I can't turn back."

"It was too late. You can't win, they can't win, and I don't want to die with you. ”

That being said, Vegapunk came to visit Big Bear and Luffy in prison the day after he rejected Stussy.

His mood is actually quite complicated.

"There are still many flaws with the 'mother fire', such as the long time it takes to refill after launch...... But overall, as a weapon of mass destruction, it is qualified. ”

"If I had been given more time to adjust, these problems would have been solved. It's just that the 'Five Old Stars' don't have such patience. ”

"Because their purpose is to destroy the base camp of the Deep Sea Empire and other traitors, and at this point, I have done an excellent job."

When Vegapunk said this, he was mocking, even terrified, and his voice trembled.

"Big Bear...... A lot of people will die on this weapon I invented, and a lot of people ......"

"Pacifists can do different things against different individuals, but the mother fire must be used to wipe out all life on an entire island."

"Regardless of whether they are enemies or enemies, good or evil, all beings are equal, and they will all be reduced to ashes under the flames. And this sea will also be permanently vacant. ”

Vegapunk grabbed his head with both hands, his eyes wide.

"I may have buried the possibility of world peace with my own hands. Because I know very well that no other force can develop such a weapon as the mother fire. ”

"The Mother Flame will help the Draconians and the World Government to continue to rule the world for eight hundred years."

The bear never responded, just lying there coldly.

Vegapunk had a sad look, he knew very well that the bear would not react without hearing a specific keyword.

Then, he looked at Luffy, lowered his voice again, and said quickly:

"Before Big Bear was completely transformed, there were actually two procedures in place. The first is the 'Pirate Ship that protects the Straw Hat Boy'. ”

"Luffy, if he runs, remember to follow him. This may be your only path to freedom. ”

After Vegapunk finished speaking, he straightened his waist and turned around and walked towards the jailer before Luffy could react.

"My visitation is over. Please, take me back. ”

The jailers nodded, leading Vegapunk away.

By the time Vegapunk left Pangu City and breathed in the fresh air, the sun had already risen in the sky.

He was accompanied by two of his doppelgangers - "Righteous" Shakya and "Evil" Lilith.

Shakya is like an orthodox robot, with a mechanical head on top and a trench coat on his body.

And Lilith looks like a lively and active girl.

"Doctor, the visitation is over?" Shakya asked.

Vegapunk nodded: "It's over, let's go, we still have a lot of research to finish." ”

Shakya and Lilith glanced at each other, sensing that the Doctor's mood was very low.

Lilith was puzzled.

Shakya vaguely guessed the doctor's inner thoughts.

Vegapunk led them away and walked in the city of the Draconians in the Holy Land of Mary Joya.

Shakya was silent all the way.

Lilith, on the other hand, looked curiously at the magnificent buildings here, and said with a smile:

"The old man was still thinking about what they would use technology and money for, but it turned out that they were enjoying themselves." Desire' York, that guy is going to love it here, right? ”

"Being a Tianlong person, eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping every day, you don't have to care about anything, and everything revolves around you, wow, it's so cool."

Yes, it's really so cool that the vast majority of Tianlong people are unwilling to give up such a life.

"Whew-"

Suddenly, someone blew a trumpet, and the sound was long.

The Tianlong people on the street all stopped to watch.

The slaves, on the other hand, reflexively fell to their knees, not daring to raise their heads, let alone move.

Vegapunk, Shakya, and Lilith are not dracos, but they are not slaves either, so they only kneel on one knee.

"What's wrong?" Lilith was still a little reluctant, and muttered in a low voice, "Kneel when you say kneel, what big man is coming?" ”

Shakya reminded: "Don't make a noise, this is the Holy Land Mary Joy, don't make trouble for the doctor." ”

Lilith pursed her lips and had no choice but to say nothing.

Soon, the banner of the "Knights of the Gods" was raised high, and everyone knew who it was.

The Celestial Dragons cheered and jumped.

The supreme commander of the Knights of God, Saint Figarando Gringu rode on a horse with his head held high.

His streamlined hairstyle and long beard coincide with the shape of the moon.

Gringu's eyes looked ahead, his old face full of solemnity.

Before the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, he was the most famous Knight of the Gods.

Later, he slaughtered an uncountable number of enemies and untouchable slaves in the Valley of the Gods.

This battle finally established his current position in the Holy Land of Mary Joy.

Compared with Lieutenant General Karp, he is the "hero" in the minds of the Tianlong people.

Grimsage rode his horse and led a group of knights of the gods, who were also riding horses, to the end of the street.

At the back of their line were prisoner vans.

When it became clear who was in the prisoner van, there was incessant cursing of the prisoners on both sides of the street.

It was so unbearable that even the informal Lilith frowned at it.

This group of Tianlong people doesn't even need to abide by the aristocratic etiquette of holding up the row.

They are the most free-spirited group of people on this sea.

"Doctor." Shakya proposed, "Shall we go with us?" ”

Vegapunk's eyes were gloomy, he nodded, and replied, "Go and have a look." ”

The three of them, following the Knights of the Gods, many Draconians, and the slaves who were ridden, went straight to a huge execution ground.

The three of them looked at each other, and soon understood what they wanted to do.

Sure enough, Gringusheng turned over and dismounted, and asked the prisoners to be pressed on the execution table one by one.

A grand execution is about to begin.
