The Black Duke of the Pirate

Daphne Sloan snorted: "Don't think that if you say this, I will accept your invitation."

"Ever since I left that bastard Gaji, I will never work for anyone else."

Gaji is obviously Vinsmoke Gaji.

"Why?" Reinhardt was very confused and didn't understand why Daphesis said this. "As a scientist, you should know that if you are alone, without the protection of a powerful force, even if your personal strength is strong, you may not be able to survive."

There is no way to protect your research results."

Hearing this, Daphesis paused slightly. It was obvious that what Reinhardt said was very correct. This is a world where strength is respected. As a scientist, if you do not surrender to the world government, you must choose a powerful force as the leader.

Shelter, one of the reasons why he joined the Germa 66 family before, was also the same.

But the reason why he quit the Germa 66 family was because that bastard Gaji was cruel and ruthless, and tried to create powerful undead soldiers to rule Beihai, which was completely contrary to the "morality" he followed in his heart.

"There is no reason." Daphesis thought for a moment and shook his head, "I will not work for any force."

Upon hearing this clear rejection, Reinhard fell silent instantly. The air around the deck suddenly became colder, as if the temperature had dropped a lot.

The pirates lying on the ground were still trembling, but Daphise's expression remained unchanged.

After a moment of silence, Reinhardt continued to speak and suddenly smiled: "In that case, I will invite Mr. Long to visit my island."

Hmm... Daphesis was slightly startled. This guy didn't get angry when he heard what he said, nor did he hurt himself. Instead, he invited himself to visit his island. Could it be that he was imprisoned in the name of inviting him to visit?

?

It is possible that some people may appear kind and kind on the surface, but who knows how hypocritical they are in private.

"Do you think I will believe what you say?" Daphises replied, even if he was defeated, he was not ready to surrender.

"You seem to be very wary of me." Reinhardt shook his head.

"You and I are enemies. Even if you defeat me, I will not give in."

"Enemies?" Reinhard chuckled, "I was very confused from the beginning, why should we fight? There is no reason."

From the beginning of the battle, he felt a little strange.

"Because..." At this point, Daphise suddenly paused. Yes, why did we fight? It seems that there was no reason for this fight from the beginning.

.

"So, there is no enmity between us, why should I harm you?" Reinhardt continued to smile, "If you are willing, come with me to Katan Island, and I will let you visit our largest scientific research

Laboratory, there is a scientist like you in the laboratory. He was once a scientific member of the World Government's scientific force, Heigl."

Reinhard's eyes were extremely sincere at this time. He knew that forcing Daphesis to join the family at this time would be counterproductive. It would be better to let him visit the laboratory on Gadan Island first to attract him in this way.

"Heigl?" Daphesis was stunned for a moment, "Why is Heigl here?"

"Do you know him?" Reinhard asked suddenly.

Daphesis nodded: "I heard from Gaji that Heigl's research in mechanical manufacturing is very successful."

"He joined my family a long time ago and now controls the entire laboratory. If you are interested, you can also join the laboratory. I will provide you with all scientific research and development equipment unconditionally."

Strictly speaking, Heigl is not a member of the family, but a scientist introduced by Doflamingo, so many of Reinhardt's secrets have been kept from him.

But Daphesis is different. If Daphesis is willing to join his family, then he will be completely one of his own, and he will not guard against him like he guarded against Heigl.

"I will not restrict your freedom, nor will I order you to complete certain technologies. The treatment and scientific research conditions you can receive, I believe are the best except for the world government."

Reinhard said slowly.

"If I don't agree, will I become your prisoner?" Daphesis raised his monkey head and looked at Reinhardt. The balance in his heart seemed to be gradually tilting. The purpose of returning to the North Sea this time was

I just want to find a sea area where I can do scientific research with peace of mind. The Grand Line, or even my hometown of Zouwu in the New World, is not a place for scientific research at all.

Reinhard shook his head, then smiled and said: "No, no matter whether you agree or not, you will become my guest."

Hearing this, Daphesis was very confused: "You already have a scientist, why do you want me to join you?"

"Although Heigl is very capable, after all, the direction of scientific and technological research is machinery. I need scientists who can study steam."

Reinhardt said slowly that the laboratory had been perfected a long time ago. Since Heigl joined, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources have been invested in it, but there has been no progress for so long. He told Heigl many times

After the exchange, Reinhardt discovered that although Heigl was a scientist, his research directions were fundamentally different. As the saying goes, there are as many different fields as there are mountains between them. It is difficult for even a genius to be strong in two fields at the same time.

After all, in this world, there is only one such versatile + genius figure like Vegapunk in the more than a thousand years since the beginning of the Haiyuan calendar.

"What's so good about steam?" Daphesis shook his head. In his opinion, steam, which is extremely common, does not have much research value. Compared with thunder and lightning, a powerful energy in nature, steam is not worth studying.

like water off a duck's back.

"You are wrong." Reinhardt shook his head: "Even if you are a scientist, you still haven't discovered how powerful steam is. The energy it produces can propel huge sailboats and oceans.

The train sails on the sea.”

"If you believe me, when I return to Katan Island, I will do a simple experiment for you. After reading it, you will believe what I say."

Daphesis was silent for a while, then nodded. Anyway, I haven't decided where to go when I return to Beihai this time, so why not go visit this guy first? As for risks, you always have to take them.

Besides, if this guy really doesn't intend to let him go, then why wait until he returns to Katan Island? He can attack him on this ship, and he has just been defeated by him.
