One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 385: The Deal with Vegapunk!

Chen Ye looked at the old man who was staggering towards him.

Laughed.

There was no murderous intent in his smile.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Dr. Vegapunk."

Chen Ye extended his right hand.

It felt like meeting an old friend.

"I've heard of your illustrious reputation for a long time, and I've long wanted to meet you!"

In a word.

Vegapunk's brain has crashed.

The world's most powerful brain?

Right now, I'm a die-hard fan.

His tongue was sticking out really long.

Even the iconic apple head is shaking.

"Really...really?"

Vegapunk didn't know where to put his hands.

He quickly stretched out his hands and vigorously wiped them on his white coat.

Then, she gripped Chen Ye's hands tightly with both of her own.

"I feel incredibly honored to be remembered by the man with a bounty of 7.5 billion!"

Vegapunk's voice was floating around.

His tongue was tied in knots with excitement.

"This is truly... such an honor! Chen Ye, the Living Yama! The Emperor of Time and Space! My God, he's alive!"

If it weren't for the wrong location, he would have pulled out his notebook on the spot and asked for an autograph.

Chenye laughed.

This old man is a major threat to the world government.

She's so lively in private.

He patted Vegapunk's hand.

Let him calm down.

Chen Ye turned his head.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

The Straw Hat crew were still like cats with their fur standing on end.

General Franky's cannon was still pointed at him.

My whole body is still shaking.

Usopp hid behind Chopper, not daring to look over.

The most nervous person was Joelle Bonney.

The "Twisted Future" form has not been dispelled.

His muscles were bulging, and his eyes were both fierce and fearful.

Chen Ye looked at Bonnie, his gaze softening.

This girl is carrying too much on her shoulders.

He knew all too well the tragedy of her father, Bartholomew the Bear.

"take it easy."

"I'm easygoing, just take all the stuff."

"There are no enemies in this house."

The tense atmosphere immediately lessened.

Robin was the first to relax.

She glanced at Chen Ye and then dispelled the "Flower-Flower Fruit" form.

Jinbe also lowered his stance.

"easy going?"

Nami swallowed hard.

Her palms were sweaty as she held the weather stick.

Although I'm afraid.

But looking at Chen Ye's face, he doesn't seem fierce at all; in fact, he's quite handsome.

She mustered her courage and put away her weapon.

Then he hid behind Robin and whispered something.

"Someone who treats the Five Elders like a football claims to be easygoing..."

"The person who turned Marineford into a slaughterhouse claims to be easygoing..."

"This is more terrifying than a joke from hell."

Usopp nodded frantically, his teeth chattering.

"Exactly! I've got a disease that makes me die if I see 7.5 billion prisoners!"

Chen Ye ignored them.

He looked up.

The gaze passes through the hole in the roof.

Look at that enormous mechanical structure.

"Punk Records".

Vegapunk's severed "brain" continues to grow.

Countless blue data streams were darting around inside.

"Dr. Vegapunk."

Chen Ye pointed upwards.

His tone was full of praise.

"Your punk record is amazing."

"Such a big brain, I can't even imagine it."

"The knowledge within it probably surpasses even that of the Tree of Knowledge on Ohara, doesn't it?"

When it comes to his own work.

The Vegapunks have changed.

The fans' fervor has faded.

Instead, scientists became obsessed.

An absolute sense of self-confidence.

"certainly!"

Vegapunk stood ramrod straight, his arms flailing wildly.

The lenses of my glasses are reflecting light.

"My life's work!"

"If we took everything out of the Punk Records..."

He paused for a moment, then his voice suddenly rose.

"I can build a government that rivals the advanced kingdoms of centuries past!"

"Free energy! Super transportation! No hunger!"

"Future Island is just a prototype!"

"Give me enough time and resources, and I can drag the whole world into the future!"

He said.

There was a pure light on his face.

On science.

Looking to the future.

however.

Chen Ye grasped the key words.

"A vast kingdom..."

Chen Ye repeated in a low voice.

He leaned forward.

His gaze was deep and unfathomable.

"Doctor, how much do you know about the secrets of this vast kingdom?"

In a word.

The temperature inside the room dropped to freezing.

"The Great Kingdom".

These four words.

Taboo.

Whoever touches it will die.

Robin looked up abruptly, his pupils shrinking to a single point.

The root cause of Ohara's destruction.

The light on Vegapunk's face disappeared.

The pride and fervor from before were gone.

He shrank back completely.

"You're... interested in that too?"

Vegapunk gave a wry smile.

He took off his glasses and wiped them.

"I only analyzed a part of it."

"I'm still reading about that period of history..."

Speaking of which...

His face was filled with barely suppressed anger.

He turned around abruptly.

He pointed to the corner.

York, the alter ego of "Desire".

He was handcuffed with sea stone.

He collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

Robin's restraints prevented her from moving at all.

"What a pity!"

Vegapunk's voice trembled.

It was all grief and indignation.

"I've been betrayed by my clone, York!"

"I thought she was my 'desire,' and that was enough to make sure she was well-fed and slept."

"I was wrong! Utterly wrong!"

"Her desires go beyond just food! She wants to be a Celestial!"

Vegapunk gritted his teeth.

Her eyes welled up with tears.

"York informed the World Government! He said I was secretly researching the Void Century!"

"So they came!"

"CP0, Marine Admirals, even the Five Elders!"

"They're after me for nothing but to kill me! To stop me from dissecting this history!"

Now it's completely silent!

Even those present only had a general idea.

Hearing the person involved say it from their own mouth still makes me very scared.

To eliminate the world's number one scientist.

Just to cover up history.

This is the world government.

Chen Ye listened quietly.

His face was expressionless.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

The hunter spotted his prey.

See the picture poorly.

The time has come.

"In that case..."

Chen Ye spoke.

The sound was very soft.

But it struck Vegapunk's heart like a hammer blow.

"Since the world government won't let you conduct the research."

"Since they want to kill you to silence you."

"Since they are so afraid of the truth."

Chen Ye stepped forward.

Approaching Vegapunk.

He has a devilish allure.

"Then just say it."

Vegapunk was stunned.

He looked up.

She stared blankly at Chen Ye.

"Wha...what do you mean?"

Chen Ye smiled.

Arrogant.

Reckless.

He pointed to the top of his head.

Then point outside.

Tell the world the truth as you currently know it.

really?

Shouldn't I look into it?

With the technology you have, setting up a global live stream shouldn't be difficult, right?

"You just need to press a button."

"The darkness of those eight hundred years was all exposed to the sun."

Vegapunk's heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

That idea is insane!

Too dangerous!

This is not about going against the world government.

This is like digging up the ancestral graves of the world government!

This is a war against the "gods" who have ruled the world for eight hundred years!

"But……"

Vegapunk hesitated.

My forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"If I do that, the world government will go crazy!"

"They will destroy this place at all costs!"

"The Five Elders are right outside! They'll wipe the entire island out!"

"We...will all die!"

This is rational.

It is the scientists' judgment.

however.

Chen Ye gave him no way out.

He stretched out his hand.

He placed his hand on Vegapunk's shoulder.

A warm and powerful force came over.

Absolute security.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here."

Chen Ye's voice.

It's like a comfort.

"Look outside, Doctor."

"Roger, Rocks, Whitebeard, Shanks, Dragon..."

"Which of these names isn't a legend?"

"They are all fighting for you now."

"Everyone is building a wall for you."

Chen Ye bent down.

Look directly into Vegapunk's eyes.

Fire burned in his golden pupils.

It's ambition.

"Before your performance ends."

"No one can bother you!"

"The Five Elders won't do!"

"The admirals are no good!"

"The sky is falling down!"

"I, Chen Ye, will cover for you!"

committed to.

Vegapunk stared blankly at Chen Ye.

He saw it in those eyes.

I saw absolute confidence.

A domineering attitude that overrides everything.

hesitate?

fear?

Get lost.

The hesitation in Vegapunk's eyes disappeared.

It took on an unprecedented frenzy.

That is an obsession with the truth.

A soul that has been suppressed for too long.

They are shouting.

"good!"

Vegapunk jumped up.

"That's wonderful!"

"With your promise, I feel so relieved!"

Vegapunk rushed to the control panel.

Hands flew across the keyboard.

The data stream on the screen went crazy.

"I'm going to expose everything!"

"Let the whole world see what the World Government really is!"

The Straw Hat crew was dumbfounded.

The plot is developing too fast.

One second they were fighting for survival.

Is the execution of the world government to be broadcast live globally in the next second?

"This is way too...exciting!"

Frankie's eyes were wide open behind his sunglasses.

"This is huge news!"

Robin gripped the hem of his clothes tightly.

My body is shaking.

It was excitement.

It is also a form of liberation.

"Sauro... everyone in Ohara..."

Did you see that?

"This day is finally coming."

At this time.

Vegapunk stopped what he was doing.

He turned to look at Chen Ye.

His face showed a mix of cunning and seriousness.

"However, I have conditions..."

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

Vegapunk adjusted his glasses.

"I've done a lot of deals in my life."

"But this time, I'm risking my life."

"This is a high-stakes gamble."

"It's gambling, there has to be some kind of prize, right?"

He looked at Chen Ye.

His gaze was intense.

"What are your conditions?"

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"To create ancient weapons? Or to help you rule the world?"

"I am a scientist, but I will not do anything that violates my principles."

This is his bottom line.

The final act of perseverance.

Chen Ye looked at this adorable yet stubborn old man.

He smiled mysteriously.

I didn't answer directly.

He turned around.

Look at the huge main screen.

The above is the view outside.

The Five Elders charged at Roger and his men's defenses like madmen.

Anxious and corrupt.

So lovely.

"I haven't decided yet."

Chen Ye had his back to Vegapunk.

The voice was very faint.

"I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

Consider it an IOU.

"rest assured."

Chen Ye turned his head to the side.

He glanced at Vegapunk out of the corner of his eye.

"I won't let you go against your conscience."

"I won't ask you to build weapons of mass destruction."

"I have no interest in such boring things as ruling the world."

"I just..."

Chen Ye paused.

A playful smile curved at the corner of his lips.

"I want to see a good show."

"Especially a good show that can make the Five Elders suffer a setback."

Vegapunk was taken aback.

Then he laughed.

"good!"

"make a deal!"

"In that case, let's begin!"
