Chapter 482: Landing on Egghead Island
Chapter 482: Landing on Egghead Island
"So I will bring some strong people with me."
Lu Li said with a smile, and then looked at Hawkeye, "Newcomer, come with me."
Hawkeye nodded, not caring about Lu Li's teasing. Since he had already lost, he might as well accept the defeat.
What's more, he had just experienced a new peak in swordsmanship through the battle. After joining the Beasts Pirates, he could still practice with Lu Li when he had nothing to do. It would be a good idea for them to improve their swordsmanship together. It should be more interesting than drinking coffee and reading newspapers in the castle every day.
Now that he has joined the gang, it is impossible for him not to contribute. This time when Lu Li asked him to go to Warhead Island, he just treated it as a trip. Who knows, he might meet some interesting opponents.
"Sabo, Ivankov, you can go back and report to the leader. We need a way to contact the leader of the Revolutionary Army directly. The subsequent arrangements are not something you can decide."
Lu Li made another arrangement. Although he felt that King Khan was always unreliable, the revolutionary army was very strong. There were many fighters above the level of vice-emperor, and some strong men could fight with the generals for a short time without being defeated.
As the leader, Dragon’s strength is definitely at the level of the Four Emperors, and he can be considered a powerful foreign aid.
Lu Li did not expect Long to lead the revolutionary army to fight with them in the siege. He felt that the revolutionary army would not perform very well in this kind of battle, but the revolutionary army would be an excellent auxiliary when Lu Li and his men started the uprising.
By then, they will besiege the holy land of Marijoa, and the revolutionary army will revolt globally. The World Government will probably be sweating profusely.
"Mr. Lu, I'll go with you."
The big boss Fujitora took the initiative to request to go into battle. He is a smart man and understands that the technology mastered by Vegapunk has great strategic significance. He believes that the World Government will never let Lu Li succeed easily, so the more powerful combat forces, the better.
"No, Mr. Issei should also stay in Wano Country. Remember those marines who used magic circles in the war on the top? They might be part of the Knights of God under the Celestial Dragons. After the birth of Pluto, the World Government will probably be restless and will probably send strong men to plunder or destroy Pluto. Therefore, Wano Country is the place that needs combat power the most."
Lu Li rejected Fujitora's offer, "Mihawk and I are enough. In fact, my abilities are very overbearing, so the fewer people around me, the better."
You don't need a lot of combat power, just good quality. Mihawk's combat power is enough to suppress Warhead Island, and Lu Li only needs to consider how to deal with the reinforcements of the World Government.
If there are too many people, it will be inconvenient for Lu Li to lead them to retreat if an unexpected situation occurs. Even if he eats the teleportation fruit, it is impossible for him to take away a group of people in an instant.
But if there are only a few people, then their offense and defense will be very convenient. If there is a problem in Wano Country, he can always eat the teleportation fruit and bring Hawkeye back to take the initiative strategically.
"Hey, Brother Lu, what did you say before?"
Yamato put his hands on Lu Li, looking unhappy.
Looking at Yamato's expression, Lu Li felt guilty. He thought that the charm attribute might be useful in negotiations, so he said, "Yamato, you should come with us. That's enough to control the situation."
"What a shame. I am somewhat interested in the technology that is said to be 500 years ahead of the world."
Crocodile stood on the deck of Pluto and said that he had been silent in the Kingdom of Alabasta for many years just to find Pluto, but who would have thought that Pluto was actually in Wano Country.
"Sasha, I have other plans."
Lu Li said with a smile that Sand Crocodile had adapted to her original gender, and the most bizarre thing was that even Luffy didn't recognize her.
Lu Li could only sigh that the people in One Piece were really not just face-blind, and most of them didn't have that many schemes.
Robin did recognize Crocodile, but he didn't say anything, probably because he was afraid of causing extra trouble.
After the makeover, the original Crocodile became Crocodile, with a slight change to his surname.
But now only Lu Li dared to call Crocodile like that. After all, Crocodile could only be helpless and furious when facing Lu Li. He couldn't defeat him and Lu Li had the upper hand over him, so he could only endure it.
"You go to Alabasta, um..."
Lu Li gave an order when Sasha's face turned dark, "Let me think about it..."
As he spoke, he looked at Robin and said, "Could you trouble Miss Robin to accompany Sasha? I hope to use the power of the Alabasta royal family to see if I can pass the Pluto's bloodline verification."
Lu Li didn't say everything. In fact, he thought that Weiwei might be able to activate Pluto or Heaven, but the other party's bloodline was definitely related to ancient weapons.
After all, they are one of the original 20 royal families and one of the D clan. The initial clues of Pluto are also hidden in Alabasta.
"Royal family? Weiwei, it's been a long time."
Luffy's eyes lit up when he heard that, "I really want to go over and see her."
"You can't. Have you learned the advanced level of Observation Haki? Have you practiced Ryuo? Can you actively activate Conqueror Haki?"
Lu Li glanced at Luffy, "How can you sleep well if you can't practice these at your age?"
Luffy made a face with a bit of grievance, "So strict."
Robin realized that Luffy was in a period of rapid growth in strength, and she also knew why Lu Li asked her to accompany Crocodile, because Weiwei would definitely recognize Crocodile, and if Crocodile alone went there, not only would no one be invited, but it would also turn into a war.
If it were her, she would bring a Den Den Mushi over and let Luffy talk, and maybe she could persuade Vivi.
Robin was of course reluctant to partner with Crocodile again, but when she thought that this was a preparation to overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons, she made a compromise in her heart.
The World Government issued a demon-killing order and massacred O'Hara. This was a lifelong pain for her. It would be a lie to say that she did not hate the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. It was just that she had never had the power to resist before.
She was previously sent to the Revolutionary Army, and she even thought about staying in the Revolutionary Army to carry out the revolution, but the bond between her companions overshadowed her selfishness.
"Zoro... um... go practice Haki with Luffy first. I'll teach you some 'swordsmanship' when I have time."
Lu Li also made an assignment for Zoro. It wasn’t that he was irresponsible, but mainly because he was very busy now, and Zoro didn’t have the core of the world, so his becoming stronger was not a mandatory requirement.
Just like that, after the Beasts Pirates' military advisor gave the order and all parties had made arrangements, everyone took action.
…………
boom--
With a dull sound, Luffy was knocked to the ground with a bruised face. Even with his optimistic and resolute character, he seemed a little depressed at this moment.
"Stand up, what's that expression on your face?"
Lu Li retracted his fist, "Put the weight on your back and keep running. Can you defeat your opponent by being depressed? Can you protect your friends by falling to the ground!?"
As he said that, he looked to the other side again, "Over there, Zoro, you too!"
Well, today, during his free time in the morning, Lu Li has been conducting intensive special training for Luffy and Zoro.
Both of them have very good physiques and have outstanding potential that has not been developed. In this case, as long as the basic training is given a certain intensity and supplemented with rich nutrition, the power in their bodies can be quickly tapped.
Lu Li gave a small reward to his two companions who were eager for a challenge. Every time they ran a lap with a mountain-like weight on their backs, they could attack him once.
Lu Li would use his fists to teach Luffy a lesson, and he would use the Demon Prisoner to show off his sword skills to Zoro.
Luffy was full of energy at first, running 100 laps like a monster with bottomless energy, and then... he was beaten 100 times in a row. Looking at Luffy's expression, Lu Li doubted whether he would be beaten into autism by the optimistic Luffy.
Zoro was very practical and kept running. After all, he usually liked to exercise on the boat.
"Mr. Lu, the boat is ready."
Runti came to Lu Li and looked at Luffy and Zoro with sympathy, thinking that Mr. Lu was definitely a devil. Fortunately, she did not ask to participate in Mr. Lu's special training.
Making them run laps with such heavy weights on their backs and being taught with a ruthless iron fist, according to Mr. Lu, even if he is no longer around, he will still have to train these two people ruthlessly according to this plan.
Oh, the person who takes over is Jhin.
"Is it time so soon?"
Lu Li glanced at the sky. Wano Country was founded yesterday. After checking with Pluto and giving various instructions, he ordered people to prepare for sailing.
After all, once the news of Pluto's appearance spreads, the World Government will definitely be unable to sit still, and the faster they act, the better.
"Don't slack off. I'll be back soon, and I'll check on both of your homework then."
Lu Li put the teaching stick in Runti's hand and said, "If there is no progress at all, then the intensity of the training is probably too low. We should double it from now on."
After hearing this, Luffy and Zoro ran faster.
Double it?
According to the training plan Lu Li showed them last night, they only had six hours of sleep and meal time every day. Apart from that, they had to carry a mountain of weights that would collapse just by carrying them, and run circles up to one kilometer long. They also had to fight with strong opponents every circle.
If we continue to increase the intensity, they will probably die before they become stronger.
"Ah, after doubling it should become Luffy cake and Zoro cake, right? The former sounds delicious."
Robin was sitting on a stone nearby, holding a book, with her legs crossed, and she held her chin with one hand and smiled. At this moment, she was a little glad that she was a civil servant.
According to Lu Li's instructions, she only needed to interpret the historical text held by Kaido in Wano Country, and then go on a sea trip to Alabasta with Crocodile. There was no painful training.
"Robin, don't say such terrible things..."
Luffy said weakly while running with weights on his back, he always thought Robin was very sinister.
Zoro continued running without saying a word, hoping that when Lu Li came next time, he could have a few more moves with Lu Li.
"Brother Lu, let's set sail, let's set sail!"
Yamato waved and shouted at Lu Li from the distant port, as if he couldn't wait any longer.
Unlike the last time she went to the battlefield to rescue people, what she longed for in her girlhood was to go out with Brother Lu. There weren’t many people around, and that was the feeling of adventure.
Lu Li glanced at Robin and said, "In response to Luffy's request that his companions become stronger, I have actually prepared a special training plan for Ms. Robin, but I will talk about it after you come back."
Robin looked at Lu Li walking towards the port, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She looked at Luffy and Zoro who were acting like cattle and horses, and thought... No way?
…………
Egghead Island, inside Vegapunk Laboratory.
Vegapunk's clones were busy in various areas, while the original was talking to another scientist.
"Dr. Gofia, this is a brilliant idea. Working with you makes me wonder if I am the smartest brain in the world."
Vegapunk said in amazement, looking at the fire burning in the experimental chamber in front of him, "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid it would take at least two years for me to complete this research."
"Dr. Vegapunk, you are too modest. I just provided you with some ideas. As a scientist under the World Government, it is my honor to complete such a great research with you."
The person who answered was a woman with long wavy brown hair. She looked to be in her early thirties. She was wearing a researcher's white windbreaker, a white shirt and a black skirt underneath, fishnet stockings and red high heels, giving her a mature charm.
She is a researcher in the Rune Adventure Group who has mastered the skills of a supporter. Shortly after their team entered this world, she was moved to her current position to do research with Vegapunk.
The main purpose is to get some technological products for free, so as to enhance the strength of team members.
But after the Battle of Marineford, the purpose of their team changed. They asked her to assist Vegapunk in speeding up the development of Spark, because their number one imaginary enemy was no longer Im, but the external competitor Lu Li.
They need Vegapunk to create eternal energy to drive ancient weapons, and before Lu Li becomes powerful, use Uranus to directly and remotely launch a devastating attack on his related forces.
Although it was a little slow, she still worked hard to help Vegapunk develop the fire. As long as she brought the fire back, they couldn't say that they could firmly conquer this world, but defeating the competitors in the End Space should be effortless.
Under the attack of the King of Heaven, no one will survive except the unpredictable explorers and tanks like Kaido.
From the moment the fire was born, the bell of victory has been ringing in their ears.
"Captain, the fire has been developed. I will send a copy to you right away."
Gefia told Rafar the good news in the group chat, and then pressed the button on the console to take out the fire.
Vegapunk was somewhat confused by Goffea's behavior. "The fire sample has just stabilized. We still need..."
As he was speaking, the entire Eggman Island shook, and the strong vibration interrupted Vegapunk's words.
The warning sound in the laboratory continued to beep, obviously the outer protective shield was broken and there was an invasion by foreign enemies.
Vegapunk checked the surveillance footage and saw a ship docked at the port. The leading man walked in front, and the man beside him put away his black knife. Night turned out to be the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye!
On the right side, a beautiful white-haired girl with a mace on her shoulder jumped up and smashed the robot used for defense on the island into a discus with a Thunder Bagua strike.
"Natural disaster!?"
When Ge Feiya saw Lu Li on the screen, she subconsciously clamped her legs together.
She herself is not a powerful battle mage. In the battle of Marineford, Lu Li killed more than 20 of their teammates and even killed generals in a row. He was a monstrous strong man.
If she were caught, wouldn't she be stabbed to death by the huge prisoner demon?
She had a single-person teleportation scroll on her, but she could escape, but Vegapunk couldn't.
In the tense situation, she made a timely judgment and approached Vegapunk, ready to kill the scientist. The fire was already in their hands, and Vegapunk was no longer useful to them, but it must not fall into Lu Li's hands.
Vegapunk's clever brain sensed something was wrong and he immediately pressed the remote control in his hand. Then a hole appeared under his feet and he fell directly into it. Then the ground was sealed.
He didn't understand the situation, but he sensed Gofia's murderous intent.
For a moment, Vegapunk felt complicated, thinking, could it be that the government just wanted him to create fire, and he would be useless after that?
