Pirates: The Strongest Justice

paradise.

On the vast sea, warships sailed towards the established route.

In the main cabin, two heavyweights sat in a spacious office.

——Marine Admiral【Kizaru】,【白犼】! !

"Oh~~Atlas Admiral is really awesome. He can fight two sea emperors by himself and escape unscathed. It's really scary~"

While trimming his nails out of boredom, Kizaru pouted and sighed: "Although I didn't attend the last year-end report, Sengoku-san was very satisfied with your performance. I really hope there will be more juniors like you in Marine. Then you can receive your retirement salary safely.”

"Senior Porusalino, don't say that. Marine still needs monsters like you, the Admiral, to frighten the pirates." Atlas boasted for a while, then changed the topic, "This time Dr. Vegapunk is looking for Is there something wrong with me?"

Although he had originally planned to meet the legendary scientist with five hundred years of wisdom ahead of the pirate world, he did not expect that the other party would actually come to visit him.

Kizaru has been responsible for the security of the scientific force and has been stationed in the Holy Land Mariejois for a long time.

For his lazy temperament, it can be said to be the most ideal job.

"Hey~ I don't know, but I have some guesses." Kizaru rolled his eyes upwards, and the layers of wrinkles on his forehead made him look very old.

"Oh? What is it?"

Atlas asked.

"Well, this should be a human weapon project issued by the World government some time ago. The Shichibukai has been unable to fill the gap, so the Five Elders plan to have Vegapunk develop a weapon with combat power that rivals the Shichibukai."

Kizaru slapped his head in distress, "Dr. Vegapunk said last time that he wanted to study my fruit ability, and then I recommended you Atlas to him."

"After all, your abilities are more singular and magical than mine."

"..."

Atlas suddenly had a dark look on his face.

The co-author is this old guy who is trying to trick him and recommending him to be a guinea pig. Can you imagine that?

Forget it, it just so happened that he was going to meet Vegapunk once too.

"So are we going to the Science Corps base now?"

Atlas was a little curious.

Marine's scientific force has always been known only by its name among Marines, and is second only to the Marine Special Forces [SWORD] in its level of mystery.

Only Sengoku, who is the marshal, and Kizaru, who is responsible for security, know the true location of this force.

"Well~~" Kizaru smiled obscenely, pointed to the map on the wall and said: "For confidentiality and safety, of course it is placed in a place with few human traces~"

Atlas was stunned, "Calm Belt?"

The Calm Belt is a special sea area that runs through the entire sea. Except for Marines and some special ships, almost no ships can freely walk in the Calm Belt.

It can be said to be the safest place.

Moreover, the Calm Belt is so vast that there is no risk of being discovered by a small base located there.

It makes sense.

“Not just Calm Belt~”

Kizaru's whole face was like a chrysanthemum blooming, slowly unfolding, "Vegapunk specially built the scientific unit deep under the sea to ensure that no one can detect its location."

"Under the sea~ I'm really looking forward to it..."

————

Deep under the sea, coldness, silence, and darkness fill this uninhabited land.

A warship sailed slowly through the ice.

In the dark sea water, there seemed to be countless ferocious beasts lurking in the sea, eagerly staring at the Marine on the warship.

Around the warship, the seawater seemed to be repelled by an invisible force, forming a huge protective cover.

"By the way, without my ability, how did you sneak into the deep sea?"

Atlas looked up and down at the plankton on the seafloor.

Although he is not an esper, he rarely goes to the deep sea. He only visited The Fish Men Island last time and spent most of his time flying around in the sky.

The power of flight is an extremely rare power in the pirate world.

Even Kaido achieves the effect of flying by creating clouds of flame to lift his body, but he himself does not have the ability to fly.

"Well~~" Kizaru almost collapsed on the backrest, "There are many ways, such as coating warships, submarines, etc."

"Of course, Dr. Vegapunk built an undersea passage, but it just happens that your ability is used, so you don't need to go there. It's too troublesome."

"Building a channel under the Calm Belt?"

Atlas looked weird.

I'm afraid you're kidding me. Let's not talk about the amount of work. It's hard to cope with the Sea Kings attack alone. The seastone mineral materials that need to be consumed are massive!

"Don't think it's so exaggerated. It's just drilling on an uninhabited desert island. It doesn't take much energy."

To put it simply, it is to drill a through hole on the island, and the base is hidden not far from the bottom of the island.

"We should be arriving soon. Although we took a detour, because of Atlas Admiral's ability to open the road, it will be much faster than normal driving."

Kizaru estimated the time and slowly raised his head.

A dark building with an inexplicable smoothness in its lines appeared in front of you.

"Such a huge base, its size is not inferior to that of the island above, right?"

Atlas looked at the base standing still in the cold.

Even under tremendous pressure, he remained unmoved.

“Dr. Vegapunk personally participated in the casting of the entire base~~”

With a smile on his lips, Kizaru stepped out of the warship first and landed safely at the entrance of the base.

"Old man, you are finally here!"

A large, stocky man came out.

This is a very strange-looking person. His face and hairstyle resemble that of a girl. There is a seam on the left side of his face from the eye to the corner of his mouth. He wears a red bellyband with a magatama pattern on his upper body and shorts on his lower body. His right hand and left foot are wrapped in bandages. Carrying a giant ax on your shoulders.

"he is……"

Atlas recognized the man's identity at a glance, but still looked at Kizaru pretending to be dumbfounded.

Sure enough, the man in the red bellyband jumped out first, "I am the most tight-lipped man in the world. I will not tell you that my name is Zhan Momomaru and I am Dr. Vegapunk's bodyguard."

"Oh! So your name is Zhan Momomaru."

"Damn! How did you know?"
