Pirates: The Black Earl

He found out?

Or just speculation?

Vegapunk can't sleep.

"Dr. Vegapunk, here is the information you want!"

Not long after, a young researcher came to him holding a stack of A4 papers, his eyes full of respect.

The old man is the second-in-command in the laboratory, so of course he doesn’t need to come forward for such trivial matters, and he doesn’t have the time to run such errands. The five old stars are in a hurry, and Vegapunk, who has not recovered from his injuries, has returned to his post Yet?

The young man is a good seed that Vegapunk discovered by accident two years ago. He is smart, down-to-earth, and full of enthusiasm for everything unknown. Therefore, Vegapunk brought him out of a branch base in Xihai at that time. Let him join the Science Force of the Navy Headquarters.

It's not in vain for his good intentions, the young man is indeed good enough.

A branch clerk who was never popular, but in just two years, he has become an outstanding scientist who can take care of himself. He is responsible for the improvement of the navy's new warships.

At a young age, he was deeply trusted.

"It really looks like..."

"ah?"

"nothing."

After receiving the information, Vegapunk smiled and said, "Rhein, are you still not reconciled to what happened before?"

"I……"

Hearing this, the black-haired young man pursed his lips, his face gloomy.

Vegapunk knows why.

The new warship is a trump card they have been hiding for a long time. Although it is based on a derivative of his Hailou stone slice inlay technology, it took Rhine a lot of effort to improve it. On the premise of ensuring the effect, the cost was greatly reduced. At that time Even Wu Laoxing spread verbal praise, affirming his efforts.

In this way, it should be a big show.

However, the first opponent they encountered was the Black Earl who could not be deduced according to common sense.

A suicidal attack by the Bone Battleship wiped out the entire army of the new battleship.

The more sophisticated the instrument, the more fragile it is.

Warships are of course not precision instruments, but Earl Hei told them with his fist that the reason is the same.

No matter how much you improve it, it's still a ship.

People die when they are killed, and ships sink when they are hit.

A whole bone warship crashed into it, and all the hard work was wasted.

In the face of such a powerful monster, is their research really worthwhile?

Vegapunk could see his confusion.

After briefly flipping through the information in his hand, he put the document beside him and said, "It's meaningful."

"Um?"

"Your hard work, your dedication!"

Vegapunk looked at him: "Count Black is a very proud man. He told me long ago that the ability he uses is called magic, a kind of...knowledge different from the scientific system!"

"Knowledge?"

Rhine looked up in disbelief.

"Yes, it's incredible, isn't it?"

He smiled: "Obviously he is a pirate, but he said the word knowledge."

"What kind of magic is it, when I am a three-year-old child?"

"but……"

He straightened his face and looked at him seriously: "That is indeed a kind of knowledge."

"I have studied the net in the sky, collected the corpses of the undead for autopsy, and even reviewed and analyzed the battle images left by him, and finally found that he did not lie to me."

grunt!

The young man swallowed.

Even Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist who "leads the world by 500 years," said so...

"Even if I can't understand the mysterious energy resonance, the regular and peculiar fluctuating charm, I'm sure it's not the same system as the devil fruit!"

Vegapunk explained: "Many capable people don't even know what their own abilities are. They try their best to get the devil fruit illustrations, but they will only release them indiscriminately. And his every move follows a set of rules, as if calculating The most complicated formula, no more points, no less."

"It's a bit like the physical masters we've studied, the monsters who have mastered the Sixth Form of the Navy, and their every move is full of unique charm born of their strong control over themselves."

Lovett would definitely applaud if he was here.

I don't even know what "magic" is, but I can recognize it just from observation.

The world's number one scientist, in the mage world, will definitely be a genius that all schools compete for!

"but……"

Vegapunk emphasized his tone: "Because of this, when his ability is very different from the scientific system we are familiar with, and there is no commonality."

"There is only one answer."

"What Earl Black has mastered is really a magical system!"

Vegapunk was panting slightly, and he didn't know whether it was excitement or serious injury: "A kind of knowledge that is better than the science we currently have!"

boom!

There was a roar in the young man's head, even he didn't know what to shock.

"Knowledge?"

"That's right!"

Looking up at this young man who was about the same height as him, Vegapunk's eyes lit up: "So you should be happy, Rhine!"

"Unlike other lunatics at sea, Earl Hei holds knowledge in his hands. He defeated the navy and you with the power born of knowledge!"

"So you have a chance to catch up, which is what you do best, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Rhine didn't understand that Vegapunk was enlightening himself.

but……

"I see!"

Clenching his fists tightly, Rhine faced Vegapunk and said solemnly like an oath: "If it is more knowledgeable, I will prove it to him. The power of science is no worse than magic!"

"Hahahaha...cough...cough cough cough!"

He laughed happily, but it caused his injury, which made Rhine sweat profusely.

Taking the cup handed by the other party, Vegapunk was full of relief: "Then... let me open your eyes, why the five old stars still support my research in the face of so many monster-like unreasonable strong men."

"Uh... But the experiment hasn't been completed yet?"

"It's okay, I read the report."

Vegapunk waved his hand indifferently: "Judging from the above data, the success of the experiment is certain."

Rhine was dumbfounded.

Seeing his bewilderment, Vegapunk winked: "If every invention requires several months of actual operation and repeated experiments, at my age, where do you think I have the time to invent so many things?"

"You know that many of my designs can't be made with the current technology, how can I experiment?"

The corner of Rhine's mouth twitched: "Then you gave me the improved design of the warship last time..."

"That's right, I haven't tried it."

Rhine: "..."

"in addition!"

Vegapunk seems to have made up his mind: "From today onwards, come to me after work every day, and I will slowly teach you the knowledge I have acquired."

Seeing Rhine's bewildered expression in joy, Vegapunk smiled wryly.

"After all, once this thing comes out, it will be difficult to guarantee Earl Black... No, maybe everyone will not allow me to continue living."

"Remember to keep it secret, understand?"

The pupils slowly constricted, and the biting cold made Rhine's scalp numb, like a fish that was deprived of oxygen after landing, unable to open its mouth, but there was no sound.

...

The great route, the island of white clay.

The hand holding the phone bug was slightly hard, even if he was a generation of heroes, Long couldn't help but close his eyes to prevent outsiders from seeing the pain in his eyes.

"One year at most? I see."

After a pause, he couldn't help asking, "You...do you hate me?"

In this regard, a chuckle came from the other end of the phone bug, and then hung up.

"What's the matter, leader, what did he say?"

Sabo asked impatiently, in a hurry.

Hearing this, Long calmed down and opened his eyes again. It was the fearless, arrogant and dangerous leader of the revolutionary army again.

Regarding Sabo's question, Long shook his head: "It's not good."

"Vegapunk's experiment is about to succeed. Once the production is expanded by then, there will be no problem in completely changing the pattern of mid-to-low-end battles."

"and……"

Speaking of this, Long's eyes became serious: "According to Xiong, he completely lost the memory of that period of war. In his memory, he was staying at home and preparing to set off to support the navy, but after he went out, he realized that the time had passed. It's been a long time."

"And what's even more frightening is that both the navy and the world government seem to take this for granted. No one came to inquire about the interrogation, as if everything was normal."

The conference room is full of core members, and Long does not shy away from saying Xiong's name.

"this……"

Sabo and the others looked at each other, and they all saw the fear in each other's eyes.

"The best result is that the memories of all those who participated in the war have been tampered with! It shows that they may have encountered some irresistible strange force."

Long took a deep breath and said his conjecture: "And the worst result is that the world government, or the navy, has not been tampered with memory."

Its "worst" meaning is taken for granted.

"I remember Shichibukai and Fujitora who participated in the battle, right?"

Sabo frowned: "Can I try to contact him?"

The Revolutionary Army still has a little...friendship with him.

"Let's talk about it when we find it."

Long sighed helplessly: "The Qiwuhai system will be abolished soon, maybe even if we find him, he won't tell us what happened."

The story of the blind king is not only understood by Lovett.

Long also understood.

Although it was a little different from the plan, this result was definitely what the benevolent Fujitora would like to see.

But the big question is, where is Fujitora now?

As a lone ranger, he also masters the means of flying.

Such a person is determined to disappear, just think about the current situation of the Golden Lion.

Everyone knew that he was floating above the great route, but after deliberately avoiding the range of the soul net, even the Black Earl's people could not find his whereabouts.

At this time, the phone bug that had just been put down remembered again, and everyone tensed up, watching Long pick up the receiver.

"What pirate special burger? You typed it wrong."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and after a while, the phone bug rang again.

This time the dragon changed his tone and asked, "What happened?"

After a moment's pause, he stood up abruptly with a look of joy on his face.

"What?! Really?!"

………………

2900 words are sent, and the third watch is over!
