Chapter 541 Vegapunk's Position
"Did O'Hara know?"
Vegapunk did not let Vic leave immediately. Instead, he asked an irrelevant question and then stared at Vic's face.
"Yes! I was 12 years old that year and I also read the report in the newspaper!"
Vic put away the smile on his face and said in a low voice that at that time he had been traveling here for two years and had been training himself to develop his body, but he also read newspapers frequently.
Although he knew the whole story in his previous life, he read the report in the newspaper again, wanting to see how much the report in the newspaper deviated from the truth he knew! He wanted to see how much of the truth the world government wanted the world to know!
"So what do you think of the report?" Vegapunk continued to ask.
Vic didn't answer immediately. Vegapunk's question seemed random, but it was definitely not aimless. He had some guesses in his mind.
Vic released his Observation Haki, walked back and forth a few steps and looked around. When Vegapunk saw Vic like this, his eyes lit up slightly.
“The O’Hara incident was extremely cruel no matter how you look at it. The entire island was full of ordinary people. Just because a historian was there researching history, everything had to be wiped out by the Demon Killing Order?
Even as a navy officer, I cannot agree with this. Studying history is just to revive ancient weapons?
Such a reason can only deceive ordinary people. If ancient weapons can really be revived, the world government should recruit those historians for its own use. Then, wouldn't it be better for the world government to have powerful ancient weapons in their own hands? Why cover it up?
Was it to hide the ancient weapons or to cover up the blank hundred years of history? What happened in the blank hundred years that made them try so hard to cover it up? And even slaughter everyone?
This is a case of preferring to kill the wrong person rather than letting him go! This is really worth thinking about. If it is good history, there is no need to cover it up, unless what they did is outrageous and would cause a major incident that would endanger their rule or even overthrow them if it were exposed!"
Vic knew that Vegapunk was testing his position. If he was not satisfied with his position, then the gravity device and bracelet would probably be out of the question. Even if they were made, they would not be used by you, or the idea could just be put aside and ignored.
Vegapunk did think so. The creation of this thing must have been carefully considered, because the gravity bracelet is an invention that can affect balance.
Whether it is the World Government, the Navy or the Revolutionary Army, if they have a large number of them, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will definitely be greatly improved. A single individual improvement will not affect the overall situation, but what if there are tens of thousands of improvements? Or even more?
It definitely has the power to change the outcome of wars between countries, so Vegapunk wants to see what Vic's stance is. If he stands on the side of the World Government, then the gravity bracelet will be out of the question. If you know about this thing, then won't the Five Elders know about it?
The power of his good friend Dragon is already weak, so strengthening the World Government will be useless. Vegapunk was also an eyewitness of the O'Hara incident, and he went to O'Hara to mourn Dr. Clover after the fire in O'Hara was over.
There he met Dorag, who had the same goal as him. The two discussed their respective ideas, and then one established a revolutionary army, while the other went to the Giant Country to read all the books that had been protected from being burned in the O'Hara fire.
After that, he joined the navy and became a scientist employed by the navy. However, he joined the navy only to use the financial, material, human and resources of the World Government to complete his own research and to make his own contribution in this way. He did not really want to work for the World Government and the Navy.
If anyone in this world can afford such a huge amount of research funds, it must be the world government, so he doesn't have many choices.
But he also had to occasionally come up with some inventions to gain the trust of the World Government, such as warships with external wheels, pacifists, non-living things eating devil fruit technology, artificial fire-breathing dragons, seastone-traveling calm zone concealment technology, etc.
These are what Vic knew in his previous life. Except for the Pacifists who have direct killing power, the others are only auxiliary. Moreover, he did not create Pacifists freely, so it would not cause an imbalance.
There are also many that did not appear in the plot that Vic knew, such as Stussy, Seraph, Seastone Bubble Gun, Mechanical Beast, etc. Stussy went undercover into CP0, the Seastone Bubble Gun is aimed at people with special abilities, and the Mechanical Beasts are all guarding near Egg Point Island.
However, none of these have been put into use by the Navy and the World Government, which shows Vegapunk's position. As for the Seraphs? Although on the surface, the Five Elders are the ones with the highest authority.
But how do you know that Vegapunk didn't keep a hand on it? Just like the Big Bear guarded the Sunny for two years before his consciousness was completely wiped out. This order was not allowed by the World Government and the Navy, but Vegapunk did it.
Maybe Vegapunk wanted to use the highest authority of the Seraphs to lure the Five Elders out of Marijoa and defeat them one by one? For example, York's betrayal was a bait? Maybe he had already communicated with Dragon to kill Satan when he arrived at Egg Point Island?
From a God's perspective, Vegapunk is indeed on the side of true justice, but Vic doesn't know this now. Vic can see his position from Vegapunk's questions.
If Vegapunk really stood on the side of the World Government, he would not ask this unnecessary question, but would directly build the things for everyone in the World Government and the Navy to use, which naturally included Vice Admiral Vic.
But after Vic proposed this idea, Vegapunk immediately asked such a sensitive question, which was obviously unusual. If the two were not related, and Vegapunk suddenly asked this question without any premise, it would be really difficult to see his position and true thoughts.
But putting them together, Vic could see that Vegapunk was obviously considering whether to build the thing, so he said his true thoughts after eliminating the possibility of being monitored. Vic was also afraid that Vegapunk was being monitored without realizing it, and would be exposed at that time.
Of course, the above is not the real reason why Vic trusts Vegapunk. The real reason is Vic’s previous meeting with Dragon, which is the important reason why Vic trusts Vegapunk.
Dragon and Vic had said before that he had a good friend in the navy camp and could seek help from him if needed.
At that time, Vic thought that this person was a friend he made when he was a navy, and even guessed if it was Kizaru. As a result, Dragon told him that this good friend was Vegapunk!
Vic was really surprised at the time. He didn't expect that two people who had nothing to do with each other had such a relationship!
