Pirates: The biggest scum in naval history

Chapter 407 Can't you find it?

As someone who has successfully deconstructed the bloodline factor, Vegapunk is definitely the one who has the deepest understanding and research on Devil Fruit in this ocean.

As the leader of the Naval Science and Technology Force, Porusalino is the person closest to Vegapunk, and from this short period of contact with Darren, it can be seen that Vegapunk and Porusalino The relationship is pretty good.

In this way, Porusalino is naturally the person who knows the most about Vegapunk's research on Devil Fruit, and has first-hand contact with the information!

Coupled with his own "monster" talent, Darren has no doubt that this guy's accomplishments in devil fruit development are definitely not inferior to his own, or even better.

If this conjecture is correct, then what level has Porusalino's strength reached?

After all, until now, Darren has never seen this guy attack with all his strength.

Relying on the powerful roaming ability and flexibility of the Shining Fruit, this bastard always shows a sense of ease when facing any opponent. It is really hard to see where the bottom line of his strength is.

So there is one thing to say, regardless of other factors, Darren couldn't help but feel the urge to see the hunter just out of curiosity.

However, Darren estimated that with Porusalino's character, this guy would never fight with him with all his strength. He would only rely on the mobility of the fruit to play hide-and-seek with him, and he might even not run away at all. , just raise your hands and surrender.

That would be boring.

The meaning of fighting is completely lost.

"Really? I think you are still able to do it with ease, Porusalino."

Darren replied casually.

Porusalino shrugged, but his eyes moved slightly and did not continue to say anything.

Seeing this, Darren stopped saying more on this topic. He turned to look at Vegapunk and said in a deep voice:

"Dr. Vegapunk, actually I came here this time with another goal."

Vegapunk picked up the coffee and took a few sips, which allowed him to cheer up a little from the weakness caused by the domineering impact. After taking a few breaths, he smiled slowly:

"Mr. Darren wants to take me away, right?"

Darren was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said:

"That's right, Dr. Vegapunk."

"A genius like you should never be subject to the control of the world government, and even his personal safety is threatened."

Having said this, he glanced at Porusalino subconsciously.

"I am confident that I can protect you and leave Egghead safely."

When Porusalino saw Darren's eager eyes, he raised his hands in surrender without thinking, took a step back, and said with a funny expression:

"You look terrible, Darren."

"If you plan to take Dr. Vegapunk away by force, I have no intention of stopping you."

Hey hey hey, why don't you stop it?

The corners of Darren's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

But then he thought about it, and this was actually a good thing.

"Mr. Darren, you seem to have misunderstood something..."

At this time, Vegapunk smiled. He looked at Darren awkwardly, and then seemed to understand something, and his eyes fell on Stussy.

The latter cast a worried and expectant look at him.

Vegapunk shook his head with a smile and said softly:

"Little Stussy, it's okay, you don't have to worry about my personal safety... I can take care of myself."

He turned to look at Darren and smiled:

"Mr. Darren, I appreciate your kindness and I am very grateful that you came all the way just for me."

"Although I am now under strict supervision by the government, in fact, in my opinion, this is the most 'free' stage in my life!"

“Before cooperating with the government, my research at MADS was often troubled by funding issues.”

“All kinds of ideas, inventions, thoughts and creations have failed because of the most realistic and helpless problem of funding.”

Vegapunk sighed,

"To be honest, I've had enough of that."

"Joining the World Government... is not the best choice, but at least here I have access to unprecedented funds and resources, and I can realize any of my ideas - even if some of them cost a lot of money but have no practical significance. ”

Darren frowned, but sighed secretly in his heart, not too surprised.

With Vegapunk's intelligence and will, if he doesn't want to work for the World Government, there are definitely countless ways.

But in fact, from the moment he stepped into Egghead and saw so many epoch-making inventions and creations, Darren had a vague idea in his heart...

——Vegapunk, I’m afraid he won’t be willing to leave this place.

"But Dr. Vegapunk..."

Stussy bit her lower lip, anxiously wanting to speak.

Unexpectedly, Vegapunk waved his hand and interrupted her.

"Little Stussy, I don't know if you can understand what I'm thinking, but this is indeed my choice."

He smiled calmly and said:

“As Mr. Darren said just now, what’s the point of living a long life if you can’t live it to the fullest?”

"For me, although I am restricted to some extent, I am indeed realizing the dream and meaning of my life step by step, and this is enough."

Stussy looked at Vegapunk's burning eyes and was speechless.

In this Egghead, Vegapunk has indeed lost a certain degree of "life freedom".

But at the same time, he also gained the freedom to "create and research."

For Vegapunk, technology and research are much more important than his personal freedom or even his life.

"What if I provide you with enough funds?"

At this time Darren suddenly spoke.

Begapunk shook his head and said:

"Mr. Darren, I know you have a lot of funds in your hands."

"But the funds required for my research are far beyond your imagination... Even if I spend all the tax money in Beihai, I'm afraid it will only be a drop in the bucket."

"Only the world government, which controls the lifeblood of the entire world economy, can provide me with such financial support."

"And so-called research, in addition to funds, equipment, knowledge, talents, location, environment...these are all indispensable and important factors."

He looked at Darren seriously, smiled and said:

"This is my destiny."

…

Darren and Stacey left.

Vegapunk had already made up his mind, and Darren didn't have any good ideas.

After all, there can never be violence.

But the good news is that, at least for a period of time in the future, as long as Vegapunk doesn't do anything beyond the bottom line, the World Government is more nervous about his life than anyone else.

"The military affairs are busy...then I will send them here."

Near the entrance to Egghead.

Porusalino said to Darren with a smile.

Darren paused, and suddenly a phone bug appeared in his hand.

The moment she saw the phone bug, Stussy's pupils shrank into tiny needles.

"Wulaoxing's special phone-monitoring bug!?"

She couldn't help but exclaimed, looking horrified.

However, what surprised her even more was that neither Darren nor Porusalino seemed to be surprised by the existence of the phone bug.

"This is the phone bug I found in Vegapunk's lab."

Darren threw the phone bug towards Porusalino and said with a smile:

"Polusalino, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Five Old Stars?"

Porusalino weighed the phone bug, shrugged, and turned around to go back the way he came.
