One Piece Demon Dragon

Chapter 169 Nine Snake Island
"What's that?" The Castle Legion and the Hearts asked, pointing to a four-meter-tall humanoid sheep standing behind Vegapunk.

Vegapunk obviously went in empty-handed before, why did a strange creature follow after he got out of the submarine after half a day?And where did the creature come from?
"Baa~!" After the humanoid sheep let out a sheep cry, everyone looked at it speechlessly.

"Hehe, don't worry, this is just a boat in the shape of a sheep that ate sheep fruit!" Vegapunk explained casually, although his explanation only left to ease the surrounding atmosphere, but it seemed that everyone All fell into doubt.

"Where did you get the ship and the devil fruit?" Trafalgar Law asked nonchalantly.Not to mention the rare devil fruit, besides the submarine of the Red Heart gang, are there other ships here?

"Ship? Devil fruit?" The people of the castle legion seemed to guess something when they heard that the humanoid sheep standing behind Vegapunk turned out to be a sheep-shaped ship that had eaten the sheep fruit.

"That's right, that boat with the sheep's head!" Seeing the puzzled expressions of the Castle Corps and the Red Hearts, Vegapunk said bluntly: "And I just saw that you have a sheep and sheep fruit. ········“

"So, this guy is the Meili?" Baozai and the others looked at the miniature Meili that had turned into a human-shaped sheep in disbelief.

Vegapunk, who entered the castle space, discovered that the engine used by the Lost Merry actually used his technology, and he just discovered that there is a goat fruit among the ten devil fruits that William got.

Vegapunk's original purpose was just to upgrade the equipment in the castle space and improve William's strength.Vegapunk learned that William used the pacifist laser cannon launcher through the war on the top (the three pacifist borrowed by the Tianlong people have not been returned, and the Ministry of Science will definitely guess the reason), and then heard about it William once freed a large number of slaves in the Holy Land of Mary Joa.

For whatever reason, Vegapunk didn't want William dead or caught.When he found that William was still alive, he could only improve William's strength through his own technology (upgrade the equipment in the castle space).Of course, only relying on the power of Vegapunk alone can't go out and transform in just half a day, so he just did two things in this half day.

The first thing to do was to draw up the drawings for the transformation. He believed that the basic technology that William had previously mastered in the Science Department could definitely complete the transformation according to the design drawings. This point was derived from the engine technology and laser cannon equipment transformation used by the Mini Merry. The technology can be seen (Vegapunk didn't know that these were done by Usopp and Carter French, and William was only responsible for providing the technology).

The second thing is to let the mini-Merry eat the devil fruit.Although Vegapunk doesn't know what the meaning of the Meili is to the Straw Hats, at least from the Lost Meili, it is obvious that they miss their previous ship.And it just happened that the devil fruits that Li Fengzi got from the Tianlong people were all thrown in the castle space.

"Old man, are you kidding? Even if the Meili can eat devil fruits, it can't be so big, right?" Alrita obviously didn't believe what Vegapunk said, the mini Meili was just a It's just a four-seater boat, no matter how it changes, it can't become several times bigger, right?

"Have you heard of the awakening of the devil fruit?" Vegapunk didn't explain it, but even Trafalgar Luo was frightened when he explained it.Trafalgar Law couldn't help asking in surprise: "You mean the awakening of the devil fruit?"

"That's right, but at present, our science department has only found a way to awaken the animal-type devil fruit!" Although Vegapunk said these things very plainly, everyone including Trafalgar Law It's the same as shielding your breath for fear of missing a word.

Even though the Red Hearts don't have any animal devil fruit ability users yet, what Vegapunk said is still very important information.However, Vegapunk did not say the risks behind this current technology, and of course he will not announce this technology to the public!
The four prison beasts in the submarine prison are the devil fruit awakened ability users, but because of the immature awakening technology, they can only remain in the awakened state.It is precisely because of this shortcoming that the World Government and the Navy have not popularized the awakening of animal devil fruit ability users. Of course, there is another important reason that devil fruits are very rare.

Although the straw hat gang already has two animal-type devil fruit awakening ability users, Chopper is only awakened through drugs for the time being and cannot keep his consciousness awake for the time being.And William also awakened the ability of the devil fruit through the action of external force, and then it was only by chance that he was able to freely control the awakened form so that he would not fall into a crazy runaway.

Everyone looked at Merry, who was second only to Bartholomew Xiong in size. Although Merry, like Pino, was an "object" that ate devil fruits, the difference in IQ was not 01:30.Unlike the Goat Fruit, the Human Fruit itself has the auxiliary ability to improve intelligence.

Although the Mini-Merry has eaten the devil fruit, as long as he transforms into a ship form, he can still float on the sea surface (it can float on the water surface like Luffy inhales and turns into a rubber balloon, but it will still be affected to some extent. of).

"I'm about to go back, or I'll be in trouble if someone finds out!" Vegapunk realized that he had been sneaking out for almost a day, and if he didn't go back, others would find out that he was not in the Science Department thing.If it is known that Vegapunk is still in touch with William, it would not be a good thing for William now.Before leaving, Vegapunk turned his head and said to Baozi: "Tell that kid, I prepared a gift for him and put it on Chambord Island!"

Although William is not safe for the time being, no one knows when he will wake up, especially Vegapunk who sneaked out, it is even more impossible to wait here for William to wake up.Vegapunk sat on Bartholomew Bear's arm, and in the blink of an eye, both of them disappeared without leaving any trace.

"The old man seemed to say that he had a gift for the boss, what could it be?" Ouzhi Lin asked curiously.Although she didn't know the relationship between William and Vegapunk, since he wanted to send something to William, why did he have to put it on Chambord Island?Since he couldn't figure it out, Eugene Lynn stopped thinking about it.

"How do I know!" Although Kerla was a little concerned about what kind of gift Vegapunk would give to William, she had just learned the whereabouts of the other partners from Bartholomew Bear (before Only Nami has been in touch, and among the missing partners, only Nami has a phone bug in her hand to contact).

Especially when Kerla learned that the whereabouts of Nicole Robin was near a branch of the Revolutionary Army, Kerla immediately contacted the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army and asked them to send someone to protect Nicole Robin.As for the location of the other partners, except for the future kingdom where Carter Franky is located (the hometown of Vegapunk), the other partners are not within the sphere of influence of the world government.
