Who made him the Pirate King?

Punk Hazard.

This is a special island located in the first half of the New World.

The World Government occupied this island and built it into an extremely confidential super scientific research base.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew all the way from the Red Earth Continent and came directly to the waters near Punk Hazard Island.

Storm looked at Punk Hazard Island on the sea in front of him from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

From a distance, it looked like a green gem dotted on the blue sea.

It was different from the cold and murderous scientific research base in the fantasy.

Just from the appearance.

Punk Hazard was like an ordinary spring island, with lush vegetation everywhere and extremely vigorous vitality.

Storm looked at Punk Hazard in front of him, and the general intelligence information about this scientific research island immediately emerged in his mind.

Two years later, Punk Hazard will be destroyed by Caesar Kullan's radical experiment. A large amount of poison gas will be released and spread on the island, almost completely destroying this "treasure house of life";

Then three years later, the World Government will send "frozen people" and "magma people" to Punk Hazard to "kill viruses" (fog), and use the power of "ice" and "magma" to turn the island into an "ice and fire island";

But now.

Punk Hazard is still an "ordinary" scientific research base.

A group of "ordinary" scientists are conducting some "ordinary" scientific experiments on this "ordinary" island.

For example, "human giantization experiment", "large-scale biological and chemical weapons experiment", "fantasy biological manufacturing experiment", "artificial devil fruit research experiment"... and so on.

'The most important person on Punk Hazard now is definitely Vegapunk! '

'In addition to Vegapunk...it's the artificial fantasy beast devil fruit! ’

Storm gathered his distracting thoughts and controlled the Blue-Eyes White Dragon to fly towards Punk Hazard Island.

As the distance got closer, the ground conditions of Punk Hazard Island became clearer.

At the edge of Punk Hazard Island, a solid and tall protective wall was erected.

On the outer layer of the protective wall, there were iron nets, and there was a faint white light flashing on the iron nets. Obviously, this was not an ordinary iron net, but a high-voltage power grid.

Punk Hazard’s protective power against strangers approaching from the sea is very powerful.

However, these arrangements on the ground have no effect on the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Storm was about to control the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and fly into the interior of Punk Hazard Island.

Kizaru suddenly called him.

“Wait a minute, I think it’s better for us to go in from the main gate~”

Storm glanced at Kizaru, and still listened to his advice and let the Blue-Eyes White Dragon fly to the main entrance of Punk Hazard Island.

But at this time, he did not forget to remind him.

"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"

The "Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters" that Storm said was not to address Kizaru, but to remind him to remember to promote him.

Just now, Storm asked Kizaru to "get promoted and get rich", but he was vaguely evaded by the other party.

How can this be possible?

If you are not active in promotion, you have a problem with your thinking.

The corners of Kizaru's mouth twitched slightly.

Just as Storm said before.

Kizaru is not his direct superior, he is just an "ordinary" admiral of the navy, and he is not responsible for the affairs of the blade force.

In other words.

Kizaru really can't control Storm's promotion.

Besides.

Storm is now the "Major Admiral of the Navy Headquarters".

Although judging from his achievements - the successful capture of Pluto Rayleigh -

it would not be a big problem to let him be directly promoted to Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

But this matter is really not Kizaru's business!

But Storm was firm in his opinion.

Kizaru had no choice but to repeat his previous words.

"After this matter is over, I will pass on your request to Marshal Sengoku."

"Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"

Storm emphasized again and again, and then sighed.

"Admiral Kizaru, I want to improve so much!"

Kizaru twisted his mouth and didn't respond.

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon slowly landed at the main entrance of Punk Hazard Island.

The naval forces responsible for the alert mission on Punk Hazard Island had already discovered the Blue-Eyes White Dragon that was constantly approaching in the sky, and had confirmed the identity of the other party through the bounty order.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, White Dragon!

Without waiting for the naval forces on the island to launch the next response action.

Kizaru's figure appeared directly at the entrance of the main gate of Punk Hazard Island.

With that chrysanthemum-like old face, Kizaru directly "face-scanned" successfully.

Storm followed Kizaru and entered the interior of Punk Hazard Island together.

The scene was the same as what I saw from the Blue-Eyes White Dragon before.

The interior environment of Punk Hazard Island is full of greenery, the temperature is suitable, and the natural scenery is extremely beautiful.

"It's great... Spring Island is the most suitable island to live in."

Storm just sighed, and was taken directly to the First Research Institute on Punk Hazard Island by Kizaru.

This is also Vegapunk's research institute.

When Kizaru and Storm arrived at the First Research Institute.

A naval officer in charge of garrisoning here came forward.

"Admiral Kizaru!"

The naval officer saluted Kizaru, and then looked at the king, Shichibukai Hakuryuu, with a cold expression.

"According to the rules, pirates with devil fruit abilities need to wear sea tower stone shackles when entering Punk Hassad!"

"It doesn't matter."

Before Storm could speak, Kizaru raised his hand to stop the naval officer.

"I'm here to watch, there won't be any problems."

"this……"

The naval officer looked hesitant. He looked at Storm, then at the blue-eyed white dragon beside him, and gritted his teeth.

"People can enter! But dragons! No!"

Kizaru then looked at Storm.

Storm then looked at the blue-eyed white dragon.

Two small clay giants separated from the blue-eyed white dragon.

Then the blue-eyed white dragon flew directly into the sky.

Two small clay giants left on the land of Punk Hassad Island.

A little clay giant held two boxes in his hands.

A little clay giant holds a "big white rice dumpling" in his hand.

Kizaru recognized the latter - Pluto Rayleigh.

But he didn't know what was in the other two boxes.

Kizaru looked at Storm inquiringly.

"Some information and items are related to what I will discuss with Dr. Bega Punk later."

"I see."

Kizaru nodded, expressing understanding.

The naval officer stopped blocking them and allowed the two men and the two little clay giants to enter the First Research Institute.

First Institute.

Kizaru seemed to be very familiar with this place. His figure disappeared instantly and then appeared again instantly.

Immediately afterwards, he took Storm to a reception room.

"I just took a look and Dr. Vegapunk is conducting research trials right now."

Kizaru motioned for Storm to sit down together, and called two agents responsible for security tasks to ask them to bring tea and water.

"He is a very busy man! Just wait here for now!"

Storm nodded helplessly.

There was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't break into the laboratory and pull out Vegapon, right?

Time passed by minute by minute.

Vegapunk finally wrapped up his side of the research business.

Kizaru waved to Storm and led him to a huge...

swimming pool.

In this unique place, Storm finally met the legendary scientist Vegapunk, who is recognized by the world as "the greatest genius in the sea" and "the greatest mind in the world".

In this huge and empty swimming pool, there is a huge figure that is unusually tall.

His limbs are very slender, but his mind is huge.

Before confirming Vegapunk's true appearance.

Even Storm didn't expect it.

The so-called "world's best mind" - actually means that literally!

Vegapunk's head is even bigger than the giants!

"It's really rude to meet you in a place like this."

Vegapunk's tongue is also different from ordinary people. A huge tongue sticks out from his mouth and extends almost to his navel.

"But I never have enough free time. I can only have some free time when washing my hair...

"Wow! What huge humans! How did they grow to such a big size?"

As he spoke, Vegapunk suddenly noticed the two little clay giants beside Storm.

"Such an exaggerated physique! Let me examine their bodies closely!"

Storm glanced at Kizaru next to him.

Kizaru shrugged his shoulders, what he meant was - this is Vegapunk.

Storm twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his right hand, released his power, and created a small clay giant in front of Begapunk.

"Ah! It turns out that they are just people created by ability..."

Vegapunk, who was excited just now, instantly became disappointed.

He sat down on the ground and said to Kizaru and Storm.

"Do you mind if I wash my hair here?"

The yellow ape is incompetent.

"If you please, Doctor."

Storm didn't stop him either.

Vegapunk immediately lay down on the edge of the swimming pool and almost submerged his head into the swimming pool.

Storm could clearly see that there was a group of small fish that looked like hedgehogs in this pool that looked like a swimming pool - in fact, it was most likely really a swimming pool.

Their scientific name seems to be "brush fish".

Um……

This is the brainwashing method of Dahai's number one genius.

Storm feels more and more that Vegapunk is a "genius"!

Vegapunk put his head into the water and then said in hindsight.

"I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself before, I am Bega Punk.

"By the way, Saint Satan has told me your purpose of coming. The failed piece you want is over there, and I have already sent it over in advance."

Storm followed the direction indicated by Vegapunk and walked towards the corner of the swimming pool.

There, there was an ordinary file box.

Inside the file box, there is a special fruit that looks like an apple.

It's different from normal devil fruits.

The skin of this fruit is very smooth, and what is distributed on the skin is no longer the swirling Tang grass spiral pattern, but one after another full circle-shaped lines.

Is this the replica devil fruit?

Storm stretched out his right hand and picked up the Devil Fruit that looked like a mutant apple.

[Big Trophy] instantly showed its corresponding ability information.

[Name: Artificial·Zoology·Fish-Fish Fruit·Mythical Beast·Pink Dragon Form]

[Star Rating: ★★★★★★★★] (Eight Stars)

[Description: A Mythical Beast Devil Fruit copied from Kaido's bloodline and [Blue Dragon Fruit] as a prototype]

[Effect: See the ability effect of [Blue Dragon Fruit] for details.

[Comment: Are you worthy of being a dragon? ]

‘One, two, three... eight? ’

‘It's not that there is no star rating, but it's an eight-star artificial Devil Fruit? ! ’

Storm looked at the [Artificial Pink Dragon Fruit] in his hand, his mouth slightly widened, and he was extremely shocked.

At this moment, he was very sure.

Vegapunk is really a genius!
