Who made him the Pirate King?

As the world's number one genius.

Vegapunk has mastered the "Wind Knot Technology" of Visalia, a small sky island.

This is normal.

Although Storm felt that when Lao Bei said these words, his whole person exuded an aura that he couldn't hide.

However, under the strong attraction of "cutting-edge technology", Storm still honestly revealed his true feelings.

"Doctor, I want to learn this!"

If Visalia's "Wind Knot Technology" is really linked to the "Domineering Sealing Technology" that Storm had previously imagined.

So as long as Storm learns the "Wind Knot Technique", he should be able to quickly master the "Domineering Seal Technique".

In that case, his "Clay Homitz" will also receive a major version of its strength enhancement.

That is "increased domineering"!

Vegapunk reached a teaching agreement with Storm very readily.

He just felt that the communication with this "big pirate" was very pleasant.

These days, it is really rare to see great pirates who admire technology and have the spirit of learning and research.

On the contrary, there are many examples of top scientists becoming pirates due to "downfall".

Take Quinn, for example.

Just when Storm asked Vegapunk for the "Wind Knot Technique".

On the other side, Ryan, along with Zhan Momomaru, brought over all the scientific researchers on Punk Hassad Island except Bega Punk.

Storm temporarily interrupted the topic, glanced at the group of people brought over by Ryan, and then looked at Vegapunk.

"Doctor, are you sure you want to let these people go? Don't you need to keep a few research assistants?"

Even in the Germa Kingdom.

In addition to Vinsmoke Gaji, there are several other scientists and researchers in the Germa Kingdom. Their main job is to help Gaji and reduce Gaji's research burden.

According to Strom, Vegapunk may also need similar "helpers."

But in the end he still underestimated this "first scientist of the sea".

"It's not necessary at all. In fact, they can't keep up with my research pace at all."

Vegapunk shook his head and glanced at Caesar Coulang who was still awake in the crowd.

Among all the scientists on Punk Hassad Island, Caesar is probably the only one who can barely keep up with his research level.

But it's just barely.

After all, Caesar is proficient in the production of lethal weapons.

Vegapunk is proficient...it seems like there's nothing he can't do.

If it is research on "weapons manufacturing", Caesar can indeed barely keep up with the pace of Vegapunk.

But if Vegapunk wanted to research something else, Caesar simply couldn't keep up...

To put it bluntly.

The world's number one genius is a genius of faults and an archaeologist of faults.

Vegapunk has little interest in researching weapons, so he doesn't want to keep Caesar.

not to mention.

As early as decades ago, when the MADS organization still existed, Vegapunk and Caesar had ideological conflicts.

Want Caesar to attack Vegapunk?

Don’t even think about it!

Vegapunk looked back and continued.

"Vongola, your suggestion just now is very useful. I just need to create a few clones and let them help me complete the research task."

Vegapunk's clone...

Several strange figures flashed through Storm's mind.

For example, a genius evil girl scientist named "Lilith".

If not for intelligence disclosure.

Who dares to believe that under the beautiful skin of an evil girl, there is actually the soul of an old man who is several decades old?

But creating a robot clone with an independent personality is not a foolproof idea...

Storm put away his distracting thoughts and waved to Ryan.

Golden Lion II immediately led the group of scientific researchers to fly to the naval warship high in the sky, and packed the group of people, together with the navy responsible for guarding Punk Hassad Island, onto a ship.

Zhan Momomaru, who stayed behind, reported to Vegapunk.

"Uncle Punk, there are many pirates imprisoned in Research Institutes No. 2 and 3, as well as other... things. I don't have the authority to open those detention rooms."

"Those pirates..."

Vegapunk thought for a moment and sighed.

"It should be that the world government is still thinking of 'experimental materials' to continue the 'human body enlargement experiment'..."

For scientific researchers, Vegapunk has an idea of ​​​​rescue.

But he didn't want to rescue these pirates sent by the World Government.

But out of politeness, Vegapunk still looked at Storm.

"Vongola, do you need me to move those prisoners out as well?"

"...Let them out together!"

Storm thought for a moment and answered directly.

"Punk Hassad is a private research institute left to you, Doctor. It's better not to imprison some random people here.

"I will directly 'clean up' these pirates who are still on the island."

Storm snapped his fingers, and a big black dog jumped out from above the blue-eyed white dragon.

It was Ichi.

"Doctor, this is 'Ichi'. Please work with it to clean up all unnecessary things on the island."

"Ichi?"

Vegapunk was about to get up from his clay couch.

But the clay sofa suddenly fluctuated, and four legs grew from the bottom of the sofa, directly transforming from the original sofa into a special clay vehicle.

"Dr. Vegapunk."

Iggy opened his dog mouth and spoke human words.

"Let's go."

Vegapunk looked at the big black dog in surprise.

With his eyesight, he couldn't see the essence of this talking black dog for a while.

It didn't look like a normal creature.

Instead, it looked like a creature created by the power of some devil fruit...

Vegapunk thought of what Storm said before, that the other party defeated BIG MOM...

'This dog is a bit like Homies created by BIG MOM... But how is this possible? '

The white dragon is the Red Dragon Emperor.

Vongola has the power of both the [Clay Fruit] and the [Pink Dragon Fruit].

This has broken the iron law of the sea!

How could it continue to eat the third devil fruit?

With a slight feeling of confusion, Vegapunk left with Zhan Taomaru and Ichi, and took the "mobile sofa" to patrol Punk Hazard Island, constantly cleaning up the garbage.

Under Ryan's control, Punk Hazard Island has been floating above 10,000 meters in the sky, and then flew towards the depths of the new world.

Storm admired the pure white sea of ​​clouds above 10,000 meters in the sky and took out his private Den Den Mushi.

He was about to make a call, but the Den Den Mushi shook his head.

"I almost forgot, I cut off the signal in advance..."

Storm reacted immediately.

As early as when he landed on Punk Hazard Island, he directly asked Teach to use the ability of the [Thunder Fruit] to set up an invisible electromagnetic wave barrier for the entire island.

The function of this barrier is to block the signal connection between Punk Hazard and the outside world.

Similar abilities also exist on the sea, such as Doflamingo's "bird cage".

Storm asked Teach to remove the signal shielding, and then directly dialed a string of numbers.

After a rapid ring of Den Den Mushi.

An old voice came from Storm's private Den Den Mushi.

"White Dragon..."

Five Elder Stars Nasu Juro seemed to have been prepared and said calmly.

"You should have received the government's 'gift', right?"

"Of course, I have received the five devil fruits that CP0 agents sent to Dressrosa."

Storm smiled and answered slowly.

"I am curious, why did your World Government do this?"

In Storm's view, he and the World Government have completely torn their faces.

If the other party sends the devil fruit now, it's not a meat bun fight-

Ahem!

Isn't that Chun Chun's gift?

However, the quality of the five devil fruits given by the World Government this time is indeed good.

At least it is much better than the previous two times.

"The government has its own considerations."

Nasu Juro did not directly say that this was a "compensation" for the previous demon-killing order. He vaguely answered the question, and then changed the subject and put forward a new request.

"Since you have accepted the government's 'gift', the government also has something for you to do."

Sure enough!

Good things that fall from the sky will never happen!

But after all, the other party has accepted five devil fruits given by the other party for free.

Storm asked directly with the idea of ​​killing time.

"What do you want to do?"

"The government's request is very simple."

Nasujuro Sei did not make any additional requests, but just said according to the countermeasures he and the other five elders had discussed before.

"You just need to continue to maintain your identity as the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'!"

Maintain the identity of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Storm narrowed his eyes and suddenly realized it in his heart.

He said why the World Government would give gifts for free...

It turned out to be this reason!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea system established by the World Government has been hit unprecedentedly this year.

Sand Crocodile, Lizard King, Magic Duck, Snake Princess, Sea Knight, Sky Yasha...

Except for Hawkeye, who is unknown to the outside world.

The other six Shichibukai have all suffered extremely tragic defeats this year, either dead or injured.

The prestige of the organization has been greatly damaged.

There are still two vacancies in the current Shichibukai.

If Storm withdraws from the Shichibukai again.

Then the organization will be missing three members, almost half of it!

What kind of "three major forces in the Grand Line" is this?

'So the Five Elders apologized, and the root cause is just to stabilize the Shichibukai system? '

Storm's mouth curled up a trace of irony.

'But I don't care about the status of Shichibukai now! '

"Five Elders."

The smile on Storm's face became more and more playful and sarcastic.

"This is indeed a very simple request..."

Nasujuro Sei was relieved.

"Then..."

"But I refuse!"

"... What?"

"One of my favorite things to do is to say 'no' to self-righteous guys!"
