Chapter 483 Vegapunk: Dragon Save Me
Chapter 483 Vegapunk: Dragon Save Me
In the new naval headquarters, in the marshal's office, Rafar put down the newspaper in his hand and his expression became serious.
After receiving the call from Goffia, his joy barely lasted a few seconds before he heard Goffia report that Egghead Island had been attacked.
"Don't panic. Spark has already ensured that the research and development is complete, right?"
Rafar gave remote instructions via the group frequency.
"The mother fire has been manufactured, and I have a backup of the research data. I can reproduce it as long as the conditions permit."
Gofia reported, "But I just escaped from Vegapunk."
Rafar frowned upon hearing this, it was his instruction to kill Vegapunk at the critical moment when the fire had already been created, but he did not expect that Gofia would be so useless and allow Vegapunk to escape with a civilian.
Getting rid of Vegapunk is a very simple game strategy. As long as he gets the Mother Fire, Vegapunk's greatest role will be gone. When Eggman Island is attacked, Vegapunk's survival will only mean the risk of him being abducted by the enemy.
A living Vegapunk can bring benefits to them, but it may also bring benefits to the enemy, so killing him is the safest approach.
"Activate Seraph to deal with external enemies. Your authority is above that of Vegapunk, so don't worry about Seraph turning against you. Also, eliminate Vegapunk's clones first, and then kill his real body."
Rafael gave the order.
He didn't know how Lu Li avoided the magic trap he set and reached Egg Head Island silently, but considering Lu Li's combat effectiveness, even if Ge Feiya used the technology of Egg Head Island, she could only delay Lu Li for one minute at most.
So before their reinforcements and deployments take effect, Gofia should focus on killing Vegapunk.
Vegapunk's clones also accumulate his knowledge, and their physical abilities are slightly stronger than his original body, so they have a higher chance of survival, so he wants Gofia to clean up the clones first.
Vegapunk's body cannot be let go either, but Vegapunk has already sneaked into Egghead Island, so it is probably not that easy to find. He can only make sure that Lu Li cannot catch the 'Vegapunk' in the open first.
"receive."
While replying, Gofia activated the Seraph and at the same time directly released a spell to kill the two nearby Vegapunk clones.
She had a slight sweat on her forehead. She could still vividly remember how Lu Li was able to kill all her companions after being hit by the Forbidden Demon Spell on the battlefield. "Captain, when shall I... evacuate?"
Rafael's cold voice came, "Evacuate? When did I say we were evacuating?"
Ge Feiya was a little dazed. Although she was a fifth-level explorer, she was basically raised by the team and was not very good at frontal combat. Before Lu Li entered the island, she already felt the urge to urinate.
"Don't make such a fuss. We've already suffered a loss once, and it won't happen a second time."
Rafar spoke again, "Do your part and think about the plan we made earlier."
Ge Feiya felt relieved after hearing this. She remembered the plan discussed in the team's internal meeting and was no longer so nervous.
Of course, Rafar did not do nothing these days. In addition to working himself into the position of Admiral of the Navy, he also made arrangements against Lu Li around the world.
Lu Li's personal strength is very strong. I am afraid that even if three navy admirals were assembled to besiege him, they would not be able to kill him.
To exaggerate a little, he even felt that even if the Five Elders acted together, they would not be able to do anything to Lu Li. After all, Lu Li was not from the world of One Piece and was obviously a lone wolf explorer.
In the Battle of Marineford, Lu Li has demonstrated his outstanding comprehensive combat capabilities with almost no weaknesses. The immortality of the Five Elders may not work well in front of Lu Li. After all, Lu Li has used Bankai before, and Rafar is not a fool.
The immortality of the Five Elders was a blessing bestowed by Im, but if the souls were severed, the immortality of the body would be useless.
Without the ability of immortality, except for Saint Topman Vochuli (Mercury) and Saint Izambaro V. Nasujuro (Venus), the other Five Elders may not be as strong as the three ace admirals of this era.
As for a scoundrel like the current Saturn Zeigolucia Satan, without his immortality, Rafar believes that his strength is definitely not as good as that of admirals like Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, and at most he is just a Green Bull.
Taking into account the restraining power of Lu Li's Zanpakuto, if we make a comprehensive calculation, the Five Elders are five admirals, and including Kizaru, there are only six admirals of the navy besieging Lu Li.
During the war at the top, three generals couldn't kill Lu Li. So, can six generals kill him now? Rafar thought that it was impossible.
Therefore, he also prepared other opponents for Lu Li. He used the large number of newly born Seraphim and Pacifists on Egghead Island with the help of Lu Li's "setting" to consume the front line, and then let the Five Elders and Kizaru, who was sent by him to lurk near Egghead Island, to carry out the offensive.
Finally, he would use a decisive blow to take Lu Li away. If Lu Li could survive the triple attack, he would have two backup plans.
In short, Rafar had completely expected Lu Li to attack Egghead Island.
In Rafar's opinion, Lu Li is indeed very powerful, but his style of doing things is quite reckless.
Even though he holds the title of Beast Strategist, it is only because the average IQ in the pirate world is low that such a "misunderstanding" could happen. In fact, he thinks Lu Li is not very smart.
Thinking from the simple perspective of a reckless man, Rafar believed that since Lu Li was holding the ancient weapon 'Pluto' but had no energy, he would definitely attack Egghead Island and kidnap Vegapunk.
It's not like he hadn't considered the Bonnie issue, but after taking office, he had already asked Vegapunk on behalf of the World Government to revise the authority levels of Pacifists and Seraphim, so that there would never be a stupid thing like in the original book where Bonnie's authority was higher than that of the Five Elders.
If Lu Li brought Bonnie and Big Bear to Egghead Island, Bonnie would only become a burden to him, which would be exactly what Rafar wanted.
Based on the principle of not underestimating the opponent, Rafar deliberately let only Gofia stay on Egghead Island. This was to prevent Lu Li from using special reconnaissance methods to learn about the combat deployment inside Egghead Island in advance.
If the main fighting force of their Rune Adventure Group was on Egghead Island, Lu Li might see through his plan and be too scared to come.
In the current situation, except for the fact that Gofia was unable to kill Vegapunk in time due to his wavering mind, everything else was as planned.
Lu Li has taken the bait, and he only has a small number of combat forces with him. There will be no reinforcements dropping from the sky to help him this time.
With this battle, Lu Li was defeated in one fell swoop!
From now on, there will be no rival in the world of One Piece!
…………In Egghead Island, Vegapunk was traveling at high speed through the underground tunnel, while using his world's smartest brain to quickly think about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
He could feel his clones dying one by one, and the Seraphs and Pacifists were also activated. Faced with external enemies, he could not understand why Dr. Gofia wanted to kill his own people.
After thinking about it, he could only come up with a few possibilities. One was that as the creator of the Mother Fire, he was no longer useful to the World Government, and the World Government had no intention of letting him pass on the dangerous technology he possessed.
The second is that even if he were to die, the World Government would never let him be captured by pirates, and killing him is to avoid this risk.
The third possibility is the worst in Vegapunk's opinion, that is, the fact that he is studying ancient history is exposed!
When O'Hara was killed by the Demon Killing Order, he went to pay tribute to his good friend. Out of curiosity about history, he also studied ancient history in private.
In recent months, the World Government not only sent Dr. Goffia to assist him in research and surveillance, but also sent CP0 to the island, apparently to monitor him or collect evidence.
However, Vegapunk believed that he had hidden himself very well. He did not leave any hard evidence in his research on ancient history, so it was impossible for CP0 to find him. Moreover, there were people of his own in CP0. He did not think that he would not hear any news when he was exposed.
"Don't think too badly..."
Vegapunk said to himself, he knew that it was useless to think about anything now, the most urgent thing was to think about how to survive.
Since the World Government has abandoned him, and he does not want to give up his research and his search for the ancient truth, he is afraid that he will have no choice but to go into exile or join the Revolutionary Army.
Thinking of this, he took out the Den Den Mushi in his arms. Because he had sensed that the atmosphere was not right recently, he had been holding back and carried the Den Den Mushi that could contact Long with him.
"Plu~Plu~Plu~"
After a few beeps from the Den Den Mushi, the call was picked up.
"Is it Vegapunk? What made you think of contacting me?"
Ryu, who was making a revolution somewhere on the Grand Line, answered the phone. This was his personal Den Den Mushi, which he had only given to Vegapunk and a few other people. He could tell who was calling just by the appearance of the Den Den Mushi.
"Long, I'm in trouble. I'm afraid I'm really going to die this time. All my clones have been killed. If I'm caught now, I'm afraid all my techniques will be lost and the truth will be buried."
The situation was urgent, and Vegapunk said simply, "Can you come and save me?"
"What? Aren't you under the protection of the World Government? How could you die?"
Long was shocked when he heard this, "Could it be that you..."
"It's just what you think. I studied ancient history. It may be that the government thinks I'm useless. CP0 and my assistants want to kill me. I can't hide on Egghead Island for long."
Vegapunk described his dire situation. "The authority of the Pacifists and Seraphs has also been taken away. There are currently 200 Pacifists and 30 Seraphs on the island. I can't think of anyone else who can save me except you."
Hearing Vegapunk's narration, sweat broke out on Long's forehead. "200 Pacifists!? 30 Seraphs!?"
He really wanted to say, do you think I am a god?
The combat power of these technological achievements alone is enough to easily flatten a country. If these technological legions had been deployed in the war at the top, the Whitebeard Pirates would have been wiped out long ago, right?
For a moment, Long didn't know whether to complain about the powerful army created by Vegapunk, or to complain that he was an idiot. You created such a powerful army with your own hands, but as a developer, you didn't even leave a backdoor, and your authority was taken control by the World Government?
You have the smartest brain in the world, but you only use it for research, without any clever tricks at all?
"Let me think about it...let me think about it..."
Sweat was pouring down Long's forehead. He certainly knew the importance of Vegapunk. If he could absorb Vegapunk into the Revolutionary Army, it would definitely be a great help.
But the current lineup of Egghead Island is not something he can save just because he wants to.
This level of combat power is enough to defeat a group of Four Emperors. Even if he sets out on a temporary basis, he can only bring one or two cadres with him at most. How can he possibly win?
He also has to consider that the World Government might send the Five Elder Stars to deal with this matter. If he, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, goes there, he might be caught in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Long felt a pang of regret in his heart, "Sorry, my friend, I can't save you..."
As he was speaking, he saw enemies coming towards him in a country in revolution. He didn't want to be distracted, so he simply hung up the phone to avoid hearing the sound of his old friend's tragic death.
On the other end of the phone, Vegapunk looked dejected. He understood Long's difficulties, but also knew that it was unrealistic for the other party to come and save him.
After all, not to mention the combat effectiveness, just talking about the distance, even if Long had any extraordinary means, it would take at least one or two days for him to get here. Even if he knew Egghead Island very well, it would be difficult for him to hide for two days.
Could it be that God really wants to kill me? To bury the fruits of science and the truth of history?
Just as Vegapunk was thinking this, the underground where he was shook, and many steel structures were twisted due to the strong stress.
Amid the roar, a fierce battle outside has begun.
On the ground, Lu Li kicked a Pacifist away with such powerful force that it turned into a piece of scrap metal, leaving a deep hole when it hit the ground.
He stretched his muscles and said, "I haven't exercised for a long time at sea. My body is almost rusty."
Lu Li looked at the pacifists who came out of the building and said, "Tsk, this lineup is really pacifist."
boom--
With a dull sound, a Pacifist was crushed by Yamato's mace. "Brother Lu, this is not good. Why are there so many big bears on the island?"
Because Lu Li and Whitebeard had such a fierce fight during the Marineford War, all the Pacifists were destroyed when Yamato arrived, so she had never seen a Pacifist before. Now that she saw a bunch of 'bears', she was a little puzzled.
“Boring product.”
As Hawkeye was talking, a blade blast swept across and cut the three pacifists in half.
“So they are all robots…”
Yamato looked at the severed pacifists and suddenly realized after seeing the mechanical devices inside, "But why did the World Government make these useless things? Brother Lu, do you think they were fooled too?"
Lu Li understood what Yamato meant. The individual combat power of a pacifist was nothing in front of a strong man. He was a guy that could be beaten one by one punch by Luffy two years later in the original work, and this was Luffy who had just set sail again.
