Pirates: I started as a navy captain, I became stronger by slacking off

After passing through many corridors, we finally arrived at the core area of ​​the institute.

There are not many researchers here, but the number of guards is almost doubled. Especially after seeing Carl next to Kizaru, his eyes were fixed on Carl.

After entering the room, a robot came into view, who was concentrating on fiddling with a bunch of experimental equipment.

"Dr. Vegapunk, I have brought you what you want."

"Although I am the clone of Vegapunk, I would rather you call me Pythagoras."

The robot turned around, and Carl was able to see his full appearance. There was a clockwork-like headdress on his head, a "Smart" written on his chest, and a "PUNK04" on his left chest.

Carl couldn't help but sigh in his heart, is this the technology that is 500 years ahead of the world? It's really a bit magical. I always feel that the technology tree of this world is randomly selected.

"This is the blood sample you want, should it be enough?"

Kizaru placed the silver briefcase on the white, messy laboratory table and opened it so that Pythagoras could see the blood sample inside.

"Wow! So much, enough! With these, the artificial devil fruit project will soon produce results! Hey! Who is this guy?"

Pythagoras only then noticed that Carl, who was standing next to Kizaru, had an anthropomorphic look of surprise in his eyes. It was hard to imagine that this was an expression that a robot could make.

"This is Lieutenant Carl of the Navy Headquarters, and also my adjutant. He is very grateful... well, he admires you!"

Pythagoras closed the briefcase, walked up to Carl, and looked him up and down: "Hello, I am Pythagoras, one of Vegapunk's clones."

"Nice to meet you."

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Carl's face was serious. It was simple to talk to a smart person, so he simply said: "Dr. Pythagoras, I heard that you have developed a technology that allows "things" to eat devil fruits, right?"

"Yes, this project is already mature. Do you want a weapon with power?"

Carl nodded: "Yes, Dr. Pythagoras, do you have time to help me with this?"

Pythagoras glanced at Kizaru, with an embarrassed look on his face. He scratched his head with his mechanical arm and said, "Well! It's really embarrassing! I really want to help you with this, but I don't have any extra devil fruits to make weapons with power, so I'm sorry."

Carl was happy in his heart. There is a chance, isn't it just a devil fruit! We have it!

"Ahem, Dr. Pythagoras, that, I have it."

Because the Raven Fruit is in the system space, Carl can't take it out directly. After all, he is a person who has been searched. He can't force it out of his anus!

And if he takes it out suddenly, what if Kizaru misunderstands?

Kizaru looked at Carl strangely. If he remembered correctly, Carl bought the Holy Light Fruit from a fruit stall. How come there is another one now? When did the devil fruit become so easy to get?

"You have one! What type? Animal? Superman?" Pythagoras looked a little surprised and expectant.

Carl scratched his head in confusion: "It should be the animal type! It seems to be the Bird-Bird Fruit·Raven Form."

"Oh, so that's it! Well, let me think, I just happen to have a replica of a famous sword made according to the ancient sword smelting process. When you send the devil fruit over, I can help you make a weapon of ability."

Carl was shocked. Vegapunk, no, is Pythagoras so easy to talk to and so helpful?

He had thought that he would have to make some conditions in exchange before he agreed to help him get a weapon of ability, but he didn't expect to reach a deal so easily, and even only needed to give out a devil fruit, and he didn't even have to worry about the knife himself.

"Well, that's great, thank you Dr. Pythagoras, will this bother you!"

Pythagoras shook his head: "No trouble, I have some new ideas about the conditions for ability conversion recently, and it's just right to use them to verify."

So that's it, this wave! This wave is called two-way rush.

"In that case, I will hand over the devil fruit to you as soon as possible. By the way, which replica of the famous sword is that?"

Pythagoras did not speak, but turned and walked into a room, and then there was a sound of rummaging.

After about three minutes, Pythagoras came out, holding a long stick that looked like a sword and had a rotten appearance.

"Here, this is it. 15 years ago, I was very interested in the cursed weapon of the Kitetsu. Out of curiosity, I copied one according to the smelting process in ancient books, but it seems that there is not much difference from an ordinary sword."

"Take a look, what do you think?" "Carl curiously took the rotten replica of the first generation of Kitetsu from Pythagoras, held the handle, and slowly pulled it out.

A replica made 15 years ago, the scabbard and handle have long been rotten because they have never been maintained, but the blade is still cold and exudes a cold breath.

Just from the material of the blade, this replica is much better than the Karasuma that was obtained before.

Kizaru, who has been watching for a long time, touched his chin and said: "Hmm~ This knife looks very good! Although it is very worn, the material is unexpectedly strong!"

Kizaru is a general after all, and his vision is naturally not too bad, which means that this replica is indeed something.

And no matter what, this is a replica made by the world's number one scientist, and it must be not much different from the original.

"It is indeed a good knife! Then use it! "

Pythagoras showed a humane smile: "Well, it can be regarded as recycling. Well, if you have nothing to do, go quickly! I still have many projects to study!"

Kizaru shrugged and turned to leave. Carl reluctantly put down the replica of the first generation of Kitetsu, said goodbye to Pythagoras and left the laboratory.

On the way back, Kizaru seemed to say casually: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Hahaha, are you talking about that devil fruit? I got it during the internship."

Kizaru nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was just an ordinary animal system.

After returning to the warship, Carl went straight to his room, took out the raven fruit, put it in a box and handed it to Kizaru.

"Admiral Kizaru, I'll ask you to pass it to Pythagoras for me."

"Really, who is the adjutant! "

Kizaru muttered, but still slowly took the box to the island and handed it to the guard, casually saying that this was the experimental material that Vegapunk wanted, and the guard solemnly accepted it.

Seeing this, Carl couldn't help but sigh: "Kizaru's face is still useful!"
