Chapter 212 Moon Base

Chapter 212 Moon Base
When Borsalino could no longer bear Vegapunk's entanglement, he simply threw the chakra refining and Flying Thunder God Technique training methods to Vegapunk, and finally got rid of this crazy scientist with the most powerful brain in human history.

"Well, you'll have plenty of time to study after the war is over. Now we have important things to do!"

Seeing Vegapunk staring at the scroll of chakra and Flying Thunder God Technique endlessly, and almost rushing into the laboratory to start researching on the spot, Borsalino had to speak up and interrupt Vegapunk's thoughts.

"...You should have given me this good thing earlier!"

Vegapunk reluctantly put the scroll into his pocket, patted it repeatedly to make sure it was okay, and then complained to Borsalino in a bad mood.

With just one glance, his brain, which was "five hundred years ahead of the times", had already analyzed and determined that this was a set of systematic special abilities.

Even something as incredible as space teleportation can be achieved through individual practice. Vegapunk can't wait to crack the secret of chakra by studying it.

Fortunately, Vegapunk still knows how to prioritize things. Even if he wants to study the new technology he has just acquired, he has to do it after transforming the robot army.

"Don't forget that you have always been under the control of the World Government. What's the difference between giving it to you and giving it to the World Government? Okay, go to work. I'll give you something good when you're done."

Borsalino yawned and pointed at the robot soldiers on the production line.

As early as a few years after the underground base on the moon was discovered, Borsalino activated the equipment here and produced more than 100,000 robot soldiers.

However, the combat effectiveness of robot soldiers is really not satisfactory. Even if they are equipped with the most luxurious equipment, the robot soldiers armed to the teeth are still not as powerful as the elite marines of the Navy Headquarters.

Later, Borsalino simply told Dragon about the underground base on the moon as a "breakup fee" between him and the Revolutionary Army.

However, the Revolutionary Army does not have the ability that Borsalino can travel between the Earth and the Moon at will. After all, before obtaining the Flying Thunder God Technique, Borsalino could already move at the speed of light after elementalization and land directly on the surface of the moon, which is something that Dragon and the Revolutionary Army do not have.

As a result, this lunar base, which is a bit useless to Borsalino, has been left there until today, and the robot soldiers in the base have been kept in standby mode for decades.

"Tsk, how come even the backup energy is gone... Hey! Borsalino! Come over and give me a hand!"

Vegapunk roughly checked the production line of the robot soldiers. However, when he was about to start the energy system of the underground base, he found that the base's energy reserves had long been empty, and even the backup energy had been consumed.

Fortunately, there is a human-shaped energy source nearby. With Borsalino's strength, it is more than enough to fill the energy systems of ten underground bases.

But just as Vegapunk was about to move out the device that could convert light energy, he saw Borsalino press one hand directly on the interface of the energy system, and then countless lightning flashed on his body.

A large amount of electrical energy was directly charged into the base's energy system. This is energy that can be used directly without conversion. Before long, the entire underground base was lit up, and the energy storage devices of all modules were directly filled by Borsalino.

"You, you, you... you ate the Thunder Fruit?! That's impossible. You're not an alien. How come you can eat multiple devil fruits and still not die?"

Vegapunk rubbed his eyes vigorously, and after repeatedly confirming that he was not mistaken, he could not help but begin to doubt whether this guy had tampered with the results of the physical examination when he examined Borsalino.

"This is the Lightning Release Ninjutsu. You can study it slowly after you have finished transforming the robot army."

Borsalino casually threw the Orochimaru version of Lightning Release Ninjutsu that he had exchanged before to Vegapunk, but he was not optimistic about Vegapunk's research in this area.

After all, the essence of chakra is the combination of spiritual energy and physical energy. It is a relatively idealistic power system. If Vegapunk is not aware of this, it would be quite difficult for him to achieve any results in his research.

"Really... How many goodies do you have hidden, Borsalino?"

Vegapunk, who kept staring at the scroll, felt a little unhappy and a little expectant. He was unhappy that Borsalino had so many good things but didn't know how to share them.

What he is looking forward to is that after all this is over, he will have new topics to study.

The various magical effects that chakra has demonstrated so far are almost comparable to those of the devil fruit. God knows how much potential chakra has yet to be developed.

"It should be enough for you to study for decades without repeating yourself... Go on!"

Borsalino pulled out a piece of pure gold that glowed brightly and threw it toward Vegapunk.

A mechanical arm stretched out from Vegapunk's bag, caught the pure gold thrown by Borsalino, and handed it to Vegapunk.

Vegapunk, whose attention was completely focused on the scroll, subconsciously glanced at the pure gold, and looked up at Borsalino with some surprise, obviously recognizing this treasure with incredible power.

"Pure gold? Where did it come from?"

Obviously, this is a treasure that can drive countless people crazy, but Vegapunk doesn't seem to care much about it, as if eternal youth is not a big temptation for him.

"Tsk, how long have you been isolated from the world? You don't even know what happened in the Battle of Marineford, do you?"

Borsalino said with some amusement that if others knew that he had pure gold, they would probably pay any price to get this treasure from him.

However, Vegapunk would rather focus his attention and time on a new technology that he has not been exposed to. If he had a choice, I am afraid that Vegapunk would not hesitate to exchange pure gold for knowledge or technology that he does not know.

However, it is precisely because of this love for science and technology that Vegapunk has become the strongest scientist "five hundred years ahead of the world."

It was Vegapunk who created the Brain-Brain Fruit, not the other way around.

"Of course I know... Oh, so it was given to you by Drago..."

Vegapunk simply frowned. The brain that had been "moved" to the Navy Headquarters quickly searched for relevant records and then transmitted them to Vegapunk on the moon.

So, Vegapunk, who had no memory of the Battle of Marineford the moment before, became the person in the world who knew the most about what happened before and after the Battle of Marineford the next second.

As the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, Vegapunk himself is equivalent to an extremely large database. Combined with his unparalleled creativity, he has produced countless scientific and technological achievements that are enough to change the world.

"I give it to you. I know you are not interested in immortality, but when the war is over, the new world will need your wisdom more than it does now."

Borsalino helped start up several robot soldiers to help Vegapunk. Compared to serving as soldiers to fight the enemy, these dwarfs are actually more suitable as human assistants to complete various tasks. After starting up, the robot soldiers quickly brought out the oversized beach chairs. Borsalino, who was only responsible for bringing people up, just lay on the beach chair and continued to watch the live broadcast in the chat group.

Now is not the time for Borsalino to take action. He has to wait until all the forces from Marijoa's side enter the battlefield one after another and the final battle begins. Only then will it be his turn to clean up the mess.

In this game of mantis stalking cicada, only Borsalino is the real hunter.

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Hahahaha, the members of the Beasts Pirates are so funny-looking. The style of them having elephant trunks on their bellies is too weird. I feel like they can even play little monsters on the Ultraman set without wearing a suit...]

[Xiao Mei: Brother Passerby, please remember to remind cousin Xiao Yan to be safe! ]

[Grayfield Ai: Haven't you noticed that those weird-looking pirates are very close to you, Police Dog-kun? ]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Haha, it seems to be true. Is it because I am so handsome that everyone loves me? ]

[Grayfield Ai: Is there a possibility that these weird-looking guys simply think that you are the same kind as them? ]

After saying that, Haibara Ai posted two comparison photos. One was a photo of a passerby who looked almost the same as a gorilla at first glance, except that his hair was not thick enough.

The other picture shows the Beasts Pirates who became strange-looking after eating artificial devil fruits.

Putting the two photos together created a great show effect. Later, Haibara Ai posted a screenshot of the live broadcast, which was a picture of passers-by and the Beasts Pirates in the same frame.

The grinning passers-by blended perfectly into the ranks of gift-givers, and at first glance there was absolutely no sense of incongruity.

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Ahhhhh! I’m so mad! You poisonous-tongued girl! I will curse you to be alone forever! ]

[Kobayashi: Ai-chan, you're really exaggerating. You can tell a passerby at a glance... uh, that, it seems a bit...]

[The passerby who wanted to hug Luo Feng's thigh: ...I feel depressed and want to die. ]

[Borsalino: Hey, are you going to Marijoa so early? This is not a wise decision. The stage play has just begun and the protagonists haven't appeared yet...]

[Borsalino: I suggest you wait a little longer, or ask Orochimaru to call back those Impure World Ninjas to follow you.]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Ah, that's not necessary, we are all following the Beasts Pirates and preparing to go ashore... Boss Kizaru has a strong army, even if the Five Elders come out, they can't beat Boros, right? ]

[Borsalino: It's hard to say. Those five old guys are quite well hidden. I haven't found a chance to test them in all these years. Besides, the Five Elders are not the only powerful ones on the World Government side.]

[Borusalino: CP0, the God's Army, and the Knights of God also have some stuff. When it comes to a life-and-death situation, I don't know what treasures they can pull out. ]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Huh? Is it that dangerous... Then Xiao Yan and I should just stay safe... Speaking of which, we've already attacked Marijoa, isn't Boros going to take action? ]

[Borusalino: Don't worry. Boros is one of the protagonists of this stage play. The dignified overlord of the universe has to wait until the finale to appear on stage. ]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: I'm a little panicked, I hope that Boss Esdeath, Kaido and Big Mom can protect me...]

[Tony Stark: If there is such a large-scale war next time, please contact me in advance. Whether it is machine guns, cannons, planes or tanks, Stark Industries has everything. If the quantity is large, discounts can be negotiated. ]

[Borsalino: ...You don't seem to have any idea how much your stuff is selling for, Tony.]

[Tony Stark: Hey! Don't forget that you are also a shareholder of Stark Industries. Don't you get a share of my earnings? ]

[Borusalino: That's true, but the question is how much money do you think the poor people in the Navy Headquarters have? In the end, I, the Navy Admiral, still have to pay for it.]

[Tony Stark: It seems that I can only hope that the next time a new person joins the chat group, he or she will be interested in Stark Industries' products. ]

[Grayhara Ai: Should I say that he is truly a warmonger? ]

[Tony Stark: I prefer to call Stark Industries' products security. Only when you have enough weapons can you protect yourself, right? ]

[Grayfield Ai: The arms dealer’s sweet talk.]

[Tony Stark: No, although Stark Industries is a contractor for the Department of Defense, weapons production is only one of the areas we are involved in. You can't simply and rudely say that I am an arms dealer. ]

……

Just as Borsalino was watching the quarrel between Haibara Ai and Tony with great interest, the first team of pirates who had already landed on Marinford also began to attack the city wall defended by the army under the order of Esdeath.

However, the pirates' tentative attack was quickly defeated by hundreds of fortress cannons deployed on the city walls. Even the pirates from the New World were not much stronger than ordinary people in front of these most advanced steel creations.

The only exception was the city gate section, which should have had the most fierce firepower, but was paralyzed due to the fighting between the middle and senior fighters of the first squad and the army generals.

Although the army had already anticipated the possibility of a large pirate forcibly leading a breakthrough at the beginning of the construction of the city wall, the army, which seldom fought against pirates, could not help but underestimate the strength of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates.

If the army generals had not been prepared, and if the army general Tiequan Liuluo had not come to the rescue in time, the city gate would have been breached long ago.

"The city gate has the least cannons! Gather here!"

"Quick, quick, quick! Kill the guards and open the gate!"

"I'm going to kill all those damn landlubbers!"

……

The pirates who were frustrated in their attacks from other directions soon noticed the abnormality in the segmentation of the city gate. The experienced and senior pirates rushed towards the city gate without even waiting for Esdeath's order.
