Chapter 539 Vegapunk
After saying that, Kizaru walked out in front to lead the way, ignoring Vic's burning gaze. Vic knew that his idea had failed. It was useless to force a war if Kizaru didn't want to fight.
So Vic could only follow him to meet Beijia Punk. As for Rebecca and the others, they just said hello to Kizaru and were taken to their residence by the colonel.
The layout of the research institute looked very familiar to Vic. It had not changed much from the later Caesar period. The equipment inside was already very complete, and there was no time to move it out when the poison gas leaked. Naturally, it became Caesar's business later, so it was normal that there had not been any changes.
Vic followed Kizaru into a high-tech room in the center of the research institute, but when he stood at the door, Vic had a question: how could this automatic door be so high?
Could it be that Vegapunk is a little giant? Is the door too small to get in? Vegapunk hadn't shown up when Vic traveled through time, so he had always been very curious about Vegapunk.
After entering the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a big hairy carrot sticking there, almost hitting the ceiling, and the carrot was still shaking.
The big carrot turned around after hearing someone coming in. Vic then realized that the hairy carrot was actually a human head. It looked too weird.
Looking elsewhere, there was no one else except some equipment and pipes. Vic then realized that the big-headed man was probably Vegapunk. It turned out that extraordinary people have extraordinary looks.
Vic moved his eyes downward and finally saw the face that looked like Einstein, but the tongue was too long. A big head with a long tongue, it would easily scare children, right?
"Doctor! I believe you have also received the notice. I will be leaving here soon. From now on, Lieutenant Vic will continue to protect your safety. He is also a powerful natural ability user. You should be very interested in him!"
Kizaru introduced to Vegapunk who was looking over that he and Vegapunk had a very good cooperation and he basically didn't need to take any action. There were very few pirates who could reach here, and even fewer who were strong.
So he spends most of his time drinking tea, cutting his nails and doing nothing. His life is too comfortable, so he is a little reluctant to leave the life here.
"Xuanlong Orens Vick! I've been seeing news about you in the newspapers. You are the user of the Thunder Fruit, and you haven't appeared on the sea in the past few hundred years. Your power is unquestionable, but protecting an old man like me is a waste of your talent.
But since you were assigned here, there must be a reason. I don't think you young people would like to hear too much. Just don't disturb my research. I'll trouble you with the safety issues outside."
Vegapunk has been designing some weapons and has also thought about combining the power of devil fruits with the power of technology, so he has studied many devil fruit abilities.
Kizaru's Pikachu Fruit and Vic's Thunder Fruit are naturally among them. He actually already has the prototype of a pacifist in his heart, but his devil fruit technology is still immature.
He is currently studying how to replicate the Devil Fruit, which is why Caesar later learned some scraps of artificial Devil Fruit technology.
"Dr. Vegapunk! I have heard of your name for a long time and have always wanted to meet you to ask you some questions, but I have never had the chance to do so.
I just found out that you were doing research here not long ago. From now on, your safety is my responsibility. I will never let you suffer any harm!"
Vic's words were sincere and basically true, but at the end he couldn't help but look at Vegapunk's big head. There wasn't much hair in front of Vegapunk's head, which looked like one of those extremely smart Mediterranean hairstyles.
It's just that the sea of Vegapunk is a little big and narrow. Vic really has no intention of offending him. He really needs Vegapunk's technology to solve his problems in cultivation.
Even if Vegapunk doesn't have such technology now, with his huge brain capacity and mind that is 500 years ahead of the world, he should be able to realize the technology of gravity change, so Vic needs to establish a good relationship with Vegapunk.
"I know you're curious about my big head. People who see it for the first time are always curious. I wasn't like this before, but after I ate the Brain-Brain Fruit, my head kept getting bigger.
But after eating that devil fruit, my inspiration, calculation and thinking abilities have been greatly improved, which is very helpful for scientific research. Sometimes I wonder if there is a way to change my big head back. It is indeed a bit heavy and inconvenient! "
Vegapunk also noticed Vic's eyes, but he was not angry. He simply explained that people who just met would have this kind of behavior, and he was not surprised.
It was only now that Vic realized that Vegapunk was also a person with special abilities, and his abilities were so consistent with his. He was already extremely smart, and with this bonus, it was no wonder that they said he was 500 years ahead of mankind. He was indeed qualified.
"I see. I didn't expect the doctor to be a person with special abilities. I'll come and ask for advice when the doctor is not busy!"
Vic glanced at the display screen in front of Vegapunk and said that Vegapunk was recording something just now and was interrupted by the arrival of him and Kizaru, so he thought about leaving here first and discussing with Vegapunk when he has time. There is still a long way to go.
"Well! Borsalino! Take Vic around first, let him get familiar with the people and environment here, and introduce the situation here to him."
Vegapunk was indeed very busy. All kinds of thoughts popped up in his mind every moment. If he didn't write them down, he would never know when he would be able to remember them again. Knowing that Vic didn't want to disturb him, he didn't insist.
"Okay, Doctor! After that, I won't come to say goodbye to you. I will leave this island directly after handing over to Vic!"
Kizaru also knew Vegapunk's temper. He basically focused on his research, didn't care much about the ways of the world, and didn't like superficial things, so he said here that he would not bother him later.
"Okay! Borsalino! Thank you for your protection during this period. Without you here, I can't do my research so peacefully. I may need your ability in the future. I hope you can cooperate with me then!"
By this time, Vegapunk had already set his sights on Kizaru's laser beam, and this had laid the groundwork for subsequent research. Although the pacifist was only a prototype in his mind, his brain worked quickly, and he had already thought of things ahead.
"Okay, Doc! I'll take Vic out first then."
Kizaru did not refute. Neither of them could make the decision on these matters. If his assistance in research was really needed, Vegapunk would still need to apply, and the World Government and the Navy Headquarters would have to agree. However, that did not prevent him from agreeing now. This was a smooth way of handling things.
After saying this, Kizaru took Vic out of the laboratory. Of course, Vic said hello to Vegapunk before leaving. Then Kizaru took Vic to meet Caesar.
Caesar also has his own separate laboratory. It is hard to say what he is researching, after all, Future is an evil scientist.
Later, Vic met Zhan Taomaru again. At this time, Zhan Taomaru was about the same age as Vic, but he was already a big guy with good strength. He was a talented player.
