One Piece: The Long Road

As Zhan Taomaru crossed the steel gates one after another, he finally stopped in front of one of the gates.

When I got here, the surrounding aisles also became narrow, even if people haven't seen one for a long time, it can be seen that this area already belongs to the level that no one can enter.

The door in front of him was not closed tightly, leaving a gap of a finger's width. The faint sizzling sound from inside seemed much more mysterious, and a dazzling light cast a straight line of light on the iron wall in front of the door.

Inside the gate is Vega Punk's exclusive laboratory, a place that very few people can enter.

Perhaps it was because he had caught Simon, Zhan Taomaru unceremoniously pushed the door open with one hand. To his astonishment, there was no sound between the opening and closing of the seemingly heavy steel door, but even if there was no sound, The movement caused by such a large door is also easy to notice.

The sizzling sound of electric light in the laboratory suddenly stopped.

Different from the slightly dim aisle, as soon as the door was opened, the dazzling light instantly flooded the whole body, showing that the light in the laboratory was very sufficient.

It took a while for Simon to get used to the strong light, just to observe the surroundings. When he saw the row of instruments that were three stories high, Simon couldn't help being sluggish.

The colorful indicator lights flickered on the instrument, indicating that this row of seemingly extremely sophisticated instruments is not a decoration, but has its function. As for the function, it is impossible for a layman like Simon to see Even the slightest hint.

Vegapunk was improving the complex mechanical hand. When he noticed the movement of the gate, his face could not help flashing a touch of displeasure. He reached out and took off the mask on his face, and looked at the gate with deep eyes.

There are only a few people who can disturb him at this time.

As soon as Zhan Taomaru entered the door, Vegapunk looked at him with such a glance, and his whole body shivered. Fortunately, the seemingly calm, but terrifying eyes only stayed on him for a while, and then moved away.

Vegapunk's originally displeased look disappeared when he saw the person beside Zhan Taomaru. To be precise, he saw the heavy sword behind Simon.

Simon, the owner of the epee, may not realize the importance, but when Vegapunk saw the pacifist cut in half smoothly, he realized that the metal used to make such a weapon is definitely stronger than the sea floor. Stone is even more valuable. If you study its composition and know the origin of the metal, then the sword forged with this metal is an unmatched weapon.

The importance of this to the Navy is self-evident.

After waiting for so long and suppressing the desire to find out, I finally got my wish today.

As if there was only the jet-black epee in his eyes, Vega Punk ignored Zhan Taomaru and Simon, and trotted behind Simon with a frenzied face, carefully observing the bland epee.

Reaching out his hand like stroking a lover, cherishing and gently stroking the jet-black sword body, feeling the icy texture from the sword body, and the feeling of precipitation over the years that almost hit his face, Vegapunk couldn't help but admire: " A good heavy sword."

After admiring, Vega Punk watched silently and touched the heavy sword. The reason for being silent was because Vega Punk saw the extraordinaryness of the heavy sword in front of him.

The years that the epee has experienced alone has shocked Vegapunk, not to mention how the pacifist is cut in half at the blade that seems to be untouched?

From the beginning to the end, Vegapunk did not think that Simon cut the pacifists in half with strength, and even when he saw the bladeless blade, it did not change.

Regarding Vega Punk's actions, Simon didn't dare to move around, stared at Zhan Taomaru closely, and signaled the latter to think of a way with his eyes.

Zhan Taomaru twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head to indicate that he had no choice.

Suddenly, Simon's face darkened.

Do you want to stand here stupidly all the time?

Simon took a deep breath, how could he be like a fool, even if the person behind him was a chief scientist with a high status in the navy, Simon would not be like Zhan Taomaru.

"Dr. Vega Punk."

Immediately, Simon turned around abruptly, and Vega Punk, who was addicted to his thoughts, was stunned, and looked up at Simon with a conditioned reflex-like displeasure.

Simon frowned slightly, but couldn't say anything to express his unhappiness. He looked at Dr. Vega Punk a little. He was different from a scientist who was addicted to his research. It is very neat and clean, with straight brows, and a pair of wise eyes. The most distinctive feature is the moustache on the corners of the lips. At first glance, if it is not for those wise eyes, at first glance, it looks like bland and unremarkable. middle-aged man.

Vegapunk glared at Simon reflexively, realizing his gaffe, and quickly apologized: "You are Snod Simon, right? I'm sorry, I can't control myself when I see something that arouses interest. ."

Such a move immediately changed Simon's outlook.

"It's okay." Simon waved his hand.

Seeing Vegapunk being so polite to Simon, Zhan Taomaru's resentment deepened.

Vegapunk's eyes were full of light, and he looked at the epee behind Simon from time to time, eager to know the origin of this weapon, Vegapunk asked straight to the point: "Simon, where did you get your epee? , and what is the origin, please be sure to let me know.”

Simon hesitated for a moment, and decided to hide the origin of the epee, and said lightly: "It was obtained from a deceased friend."

"Is that so?" Vega Punk was slightly stunned.

Simon nodded and said, "That's it."

Vega Punk shook his head in disappointment, as wise as him, how could he not know that Simon deliberately concealed it, although Vega Punk wanted to know the origin of the epee, but since Simon did not say it, he did not force it.

In any case, the sword is brought, and it is not Simon's decision whether to give it to research or not. Vega Punk intends, even if Simon does not agree, then use the authority to force Simon to agree.

Even if he offends Simon because of this, Vegapunk would not hesitate to do anything, and he didn't understand that a knot in his heart was important.

Although he was confident enough to let Simon keep the sword, Vega Punk still asked in a polite tone: "I wonder if I can study the epee for a week~www.readwn.com~ No, how about a few days? "

Simon suddenly laughed when he heard this, thinking that Vega Punk was really interested in the nameless epee. When he laughed, Simon's heart suddenly moved. The person in front of him was the chief scientist of the Navy. Hand, maybe there will be unexpected joy.

"It's fine for a week." Simon smiled lightly and stopped, waiting for Vega Punk's response.

Hearing Simon's answer so readily, Vegapunk couldn't help but be overjoyed, but after hearing Simon's words, his breathing couldn't help but stagnate.

"I need Dr. Bergapunk to refit my warship, and the values ​​in all aspects are higher than the current warship, relatively..." Simon smiled and said calmly: "I can use everything I know. Tell the Doctor, how?"

Contrary to Simon's expectations, Vegapunk nodded without hesitation. Immediately, Simon felt like he was at a loss.

Chips too small?

Simon touched his nose and smiled bitterly. If he knew that Vega Punk could see many extraordinary things about the epee with a few glances, and he was eager to know, I am afraid that Simon would also open his mouth.

But on second thought, Simon also wanted to know what Dr. Vegapunk could research on the epee, so it was not a loss.

Zhan Taomaru left long ago when the two ignored him.

Vega Punk and Simon were the only ones left in the laboratory. This kind of situation is also what Simon wants. The less people know about the epee, the better.

At the beginning, it was for this weapon that powerful pirates were attracted to seize it, and the epee was not a nameless thing.

Under the expectant gaze of Vegapunk, Simon slowly opened his mouth and said everything he knew.
