Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

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

"I can be of service to you as well."

As he said this, he turned around and smiled at Xia Le.

Xia Le was startled, then smiled and nodded: "If I have the 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 lightning was generated.

This made Xia Le a little worried that the other party's experiment might result in a big explosion.

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

Vegapunk's words came again.

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

"How is it? Is it useful?"

Vegapunk smiled at him as he spoke.

Xia Le raised his hand and nodded with the same smile: "It's very good."

"It's quite difficult to make seastone, a hard material, very tough."

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

Vegapunk said.

“I will treasure it!”

Vegapunk nodded, then turned to him and stared into his eyes: "We are friends now, right?"

Xia Le was stunned, somewhat unable to understand the scientist's logical thinking.

But he did not hesitate and nodded again.

"Yes, we are friends now!"

Upon hearing this, Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

"That's good!"

"In fact, I know everything about you!"

"Your hometown is in the West Sea, O'Hara, a famous archaeological holy place!"

"I am very interested in some of the ancient knowledge recorded in O'Hara. If I have the chance, I will definitely go and take a look."

“The wisdom of the ancients is actually incredible.”

But these words made Xia Le stunned.

His hometown, in West Sea, O'Hara?

He himself doesn't even know about this.

"You killed a Celestial Dragon in the Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, didn't you?"

Vegapunk said again.

This made Xia Le's heart tremble even more, and he looked at the other party with an incredible expression. How did the other party know about this kind of thing?

In just a few days, the things that he thought he was doing in secret were revealed one after another by people who knew about it.

"There are not many people in the world who dare to do this kind of thing."

“Being able to do something and daring to do it are two different concepts.”

"You are unique, different from most people in this world!"

"So that's why I'm willing to help you make that pair of gloves."

Vegapunk spoke very quickly.

"If there's anything I can do to help you, feel free to ask."

“I like doing things for my friends.”

Xia Le was stunned and very puzzled by Vegapunk's generosity, but he gladly accepted it.

Because soon he thought of something.

"Have you been researching devil fruits lately?"

He placed the wooden box in his hand on the table.

"Yes, I'm researching how to give objects the ability of fruits!"

"This elephant fruit you brought is the test subject I am currently researching."

Vegapunk nodded.

"Then is there any equipment or method that can find nearby fruits?"

Xia Le asked curiously.

He thought of the natural Thunder Fruit on Sky Island, which had not yet been eaten by Enel.

"Looking for a devil fruit?"

Vegapunk was stunned, then he spoke quickly.

"Of course!"

"It's just that I quickly shelved this project. The previous research was useless."

"The distance at which we can determine our position is only two to three thousand meters. Compared to the entire world, even an island, it is useless!"

“I definitely prefer making to finding!”

Xia Le's eyes lit up: "Can you tell me the method, or give me the equipment?"

Vegapunk smiled and nodded: "Although I don't know what you are going to do, of course you can do this."

"But I want to tell you that the chance of this instrument finding a devil fruit is still too small. It's best not to hold out too much hope."

Xia Le nodded.

Afterwards, Vegapunk searched in the laboratory for a long time, and finally found a glowing object about the size of a palm with strange patterns engraved on it, which looked like an orange.

“No fruit was found during the green light.”

"When it's red, it means there's one near you."

Vegapunk said.

Xia Le took the instrument and said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

"Also, I would be happier if you could let me study your body!"

"I heard that you are immortal?"

"I have never seen such a bloodline!"

Then, Vegapunk licked his lips and looked at Xia Le with a gleam in his eyes.

This light made Xia Le's heart tremble.

He was very sure that if this guy had the chance, he would never give up on slicing himself for research.

"It seems that you are very resistant to being studied."

"It's a pity!"

Vegapunk said regretfully again.

Xia Le finally breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile.

"Time flies."

"You should go, but I'm glad I got to be your friend."

"To be honest, you are my first friend in all these years!"

Vegapunk turned around and handed him a few papers filled with drawings that were randomly placed on the table.

"If you have the chance, you must kidnap me."

"I know that you dare to do this, and you may be the only one who dares to do it."

"As for the Celestial Dragon incident, you can rest assured that few people in this world know about it."

"I just used my brain to make a brief guess, and then based on your expression just now, I confirmed it."

Xia Le blinked, smiled and nodded.

"it is good."

“I also like to help my friends.”

Their eyes met and smiles appeared on their faces.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Vegapunk said.

Xia Le turned and left because the guards at the door were urging him to leave.

But undoubtedly, this meeting with Vegapunk gave him a great surprise.

Chapter 51: Conquering Douglas Barrett

Chapter 51: Subjugating Douglas Barrett

After Xia Le walked out of the experimental base, he soon met the lieutenant general at the port again. When he politely nodded to him and said goodbye, the latter raised his hand and pointed at the drawings in his hand.

"Compared to the box you brought, the blueprint in your hand is the most important part of this mission, Major General Xia Le."

"Don't let your negligence cause the quest items to be damaged."

Xia Le was startled and looked down at the drawing in his hand.

The paper was covered with all kinds of strange zigzag lines, and marked with various formulas, numbers, and letters. He took a quick look and recognized that it was the outline of a warship.

"Thank you very much for your reminder."

After nodding with a smile, he turned and boarded his warship.

The lieutenant general watched him leave, then looked away.

From beginning to end, Xia Le was not clear about what to call this lieutenant general, but he believed that the gains from this trip were undoubtedly fruitful.

"Befriending Vegapunk?"

A smile appeared on his lips, which was undoubtedly a rare thing.

Vegapunk's IQ, combined with the power of the Brain-Brain Fruit, should be high enough to be difficult to comprehend.

If Xia Le did not have outstanding abilities, he would even feel a shudder from the bottom of his heart when facing this extremely intelligent scientist.

Just imagine, with his terrifying intelligence, everything you have is only a thought away. In a sense, such a human being can already be compared to gods, and is not in the same dimension as mortals.

Moreover, Xia Le knew very well how terrible this guy’s research project would be in the future.

Artificial Devil Fruit, Pacifist, Seraph!

They are all unimaginable technological creations with powerful destructive power.

Then, he took out the instrument that could roughly determine the location of nearby devil fruits from his arms and began to think about something.

The distance of two or three thousand meters is undoubtedly extremely short compared to the vastness of the entire pirate world. It is no wonder that Vegapunk thinks this thing is useless and throws it in a corner full of debris.

But Xia Le thought that it was enough. Based on the information he had, he could roughly determine the location of the Thunder Fruit. As long as he spent some time, he should be able to find this natural fruit.

As for the blueprint in his hand, after careful observation by Xia Le, he judged that this thing should be the latest technology developed by Vegapunk.

"Sea Tower Stone Warship!"

Yes, it is this technology that allows naval ships to easily and safely cross the doldrums.

This advanced technology is the basis for the navy to travel quickly and provide support in the Great Waterway and even the world. It will undoubtedly greatly shorten the cost and time of naval navigation, thereby enhancing its mobility in some ways.

"There are so many benefits to controlling a scientist!"
