Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

"It must be something beyond our imagination."

Several people felt itchy in their hearts, but because of the rules, they didn't dare to easily unlock the wooden box.

"If you want to know what's inside, just open it."

Xia Le laughed.

He was not very interested in the contents of the wooden box, because he had probably guessed it.

Eighty percent of them are devil fruits.

Today's Vegapunk should have launched a series of research on devil fruit and bloodline factors.

"can I open this?"

"Isn't this task strictly confidential?"

T Peng En said in surprise.

"If you don't tell it, isn't it just keeping it secret?"

"Xiaogu, don't be so rigid! Otherwise, you will suffer a lot in the future!"

Xia Le asked back, and then said to Crocodile.

"Xiao Sha, use your ability to open it!"

Crocodile smiled when he heard this: "It's very simple."

After a while, grains of sand drilled into the hole in the lock of the wooden box, and quickly solidified into a key.

With the sound of the lock cylinder being pried, the wooden box was opened.

Ivans untied the lid of the wooden box, and everyone looked at it together, only to see a fruit covered with strange patterns on its surface, which immediately caught their eyes.

"It's a devil fruit!"

Sloane was shocked.

"Our mission here is to escort the devil fruit?"

Kira also said.

Everyone was very surprised, but Xia Le's expression was calm.

He knew very well that after the Navy controlled Vegapunk, the latter conducted a series of research on Devil Fruit and developed a variety of results.

"Close it."

After taking a glance and seeing the longing in everyone's eyes, Xia Le said calmly again.

With a snap, Ivans closed the box neatly.

"Hey, if we want to have this ability, we can fight for it ourselves in the future."

"This fruit is for this mission."

Hearing this, the longing in the eyes of Si Luo and the others just faded away.

Egghead Island was not too close to them, but it wasn't too far either.

Ten days later, the warship just entered the island's port.

As Xia Le expected, the defense of Egghead Island was very strict, and a lieutenant general was in charge of receiving them.

"I'm sorry, Major General Xia Le. According to the regulations, no one outside this island is allowed to enter here."

The lieutenant general said in a low voice.

"What about me?"

Xia Le took the wooden box that Ivans handed over, and then said again.

"The order I got is to hand over this item to Vegapunk."

The lieutenant general was silent at first, then spoke again.

"As a disciple of Lieutenant Admiral Cap, the naval hero, I believe you are trustworthy."

"But as I said just now, only you are allowed to enter with mission items."

Xia Le nodded.

Then, he passed through the ports stationed by many elite navies and entered the island.

There is no doubt that Eggherd is now a well-defended scientific research base.

When passing through the gate of the base, Xia Le saw not only the navy, but also some mysterious people in black with cold expressions and very vigilant.

About half an hour later, he saw Vegapunk in the waiting room.

"Come with me, Major General Xia Le."

When the latter saw him, he waved and turned to leave.

Xia Le was taken aback for a moment, and followed with a suitcase.

Chapter 50 We Are Friends

Vegapunk looks a lot like Einstein, a great scientist in Xia Le's previous life.

Now in middle age, his head is so big and tall that it almost reaches the ceiling.

Xia Le quietly followed the other party until the two of them entered a laboratory full of various papers and instruments.

"it's stuffy!"

Vegapunk came to a pile of test tubes and started tinkering with them.

"I was captured by them."

"Was working on the 'blood factor' with Vinsmoke Gage."

"The World Government thought that what I did was too dangerous, brought me here, and bought my team."

"But later, I thought it was good, at least I won't be troubled by the large amount of resources and money needed for the experiment!"

When Vegapunk said this, he laughed as if mocking himself.

Xia Le listened quietly, feeling a little surprised.

In fact, he is not familiar with the other party, and most of the information comes from the previous world.

"If possible, I don't want to cooperate with the world government. What's more, everything I do here can be said to be forced."

Vegapunk said again.

"Is this something that can be said?"

Xia Le asked curiously.

"The sound insulation in the room is quite good, and they don't care what I say."

"The world government pays more attention to my research results."

"All they want is the result!"

Vegapunk smiled.

"If you have the opportunity in the future and can afford the funds I need for my experiment, you can try to kidnap me and take me away."

"I can serve you too."

With that said, he turned around and smiled at Xia Le.

Xia Le was startled, then nodded with a smile: "If there is a chance, I will definitely do it."

Vegapunk poured the liquid in the test tube into another one, and there was a crackling sound in the air, as if there was an electric light.

This made Xia Le a little worried, whether the other party's experiment would explode.

"I actually know you very well, Major General Xia Le."

Vegapunk's words came again.

"The gloves on your hand were made by me."

"How is it? Is it easy to use?"

Said, Vegapunk smiled at him.

Xia Le raised her hand and nodded with a smile: "It's very good."

"Hailou stone is a hard material, and it is still somewhat difficult to make them very resilient."

"It is the first set in the world, and perhaps, it will be the last set!"

Vegapunk said.

"I will cherish it!"

Vegapunk nodded, then turned to him again, staring into his eyes: "Are we friends now?"

Xia Le was stunned, a little unable to understand the logic of this scientist's thinking.

But he didn't hesitate and nodded again.

"Yes, we are friends!"

Hearing this, Vegapunk heaved a sigh of relief and laughed.

"That's good!"

"Actually, I know everything about you!"

"Your hometown is Xihai, O'Hara, a famous archaeological holy land!"

"I am very interested in some ancient knowledge recorded in O'Hara. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely go and see it."

"The wisdom of the ancients is actually incredible."

But these words made Xia Le startled.

His hometown, in Xihai, O'Hara?

He himself didn't know about this kind of thing.
