Chapter 947 Egghead
Chapter 947: Egghead
Lafayette's plan to wait for Blackbeard to come back and besiege Garp was doomed to fail. Blackbeard had been ground into stone chips, and the Den Den Mushi had been released by Vic. He was destined not to be able to contact the real owner today!
If the first time doesn't work, try twice. If the second time doesn't work, try three times. After the third time, Lafayette knew that something was wrong and a layer of sweat broke out on his back. Blackbeard never had the habit of not answering the phone because he knew the importance and timeliness of intelligence. He would not not answer the phone unless there were special circumstances, especially when he called three times in a row and still no one answered. Something must have happened!
"Can't get in touch? Then it's likely that he was killed. Blackbeard's strength is not top-notch, and he is too utilitarian. Sooner or later, he will capsize, Lafayette! You should think more about yourself. I keep my word!"
Garp's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back. To become a pirate is to risk your life!
In the past, Lafayette firmly believed that Blackbeard could become the Pirate King, but after Wick and Luffy rose to become the Pirate King, he was not so determined anymore. After all, conspiracies and tricks are no match for absolute strength!
In addition, Vic was hunting down Blackbeard as his enemy, so he was really worried about his future. Now that Blackbeard could not be contacted, he strongly suspected that he was killed by Vic!
In this ocean, although Blackbeard's strength is not top-notch, there are only a few people who can kill him. In addition, with Van Oka's teleportation ability, if they were not lured to death with the determination to kill, they would definitely be able to escape, but the result now is that they can't get in touch!
"I can agree to your request to release the hostages, but how can you guarantee that you won't attack me?"
Lafayette only wants to save his own life now, so the only way left is to release the hostages. However, he is worried that the other party will go back on his word, so he just wants a guarantee!
"Are Kirby's handcuffs the explosive type?"
"Yes!"
"Then you can activate the explosive device inside before leaving. That way, I won't have time to harm you. Can you be assured?"
Garp didn't take these guys seriously at all. He just let them go and would catch them again when he had the chance. However, the other party was too cautious, so he had no choice but to resort to this last resort. Fortunately, the explosive handcuffs only had a few seconds to trigger, which was enough for him to rush over and destroy the handcuffs!
"Mr. Cap! This is too dangerous!"
"Yeah! If anything goes wrong, Coby will be finished!"
Peacock and Skylark were very worried. Those were explosive handcuffs, powerful enough to blow a person into pieces. Moreover, the time from triggering the explosion was too short. It was too risky to save people in this way. If something unexpected happened, Coby would be finished!
"That's it! No more words!"
"Bring those unconscious ones to him!"
Cap made the final decision. He knew that only by doing this would Lafayette be completely relieved. He himself was also confident that he could save Coby. This was a method that both parties could accept.
"No, I don't know them well!"
Lafayette didn't want to take Xiliu and the others with him. He couldn't take so many people away by himself, not to mention that there was a huge wolf among them. He couldn't take them away even if he spent half his life!
Moreover, if he did this, he would not have enough time to leave. If he was alone, he could just spread his wings and fly away, ensuring that no one could intercept him!
So after leaving these words, Lafayette directly activated Coby's handcuffs and flew away quickly!
"Ding ding ding ding ding..."
As the rapid ding-ding sounds were heard, Garp left a residual image on the spot, and the next moment, his hands filled with domineering power had already grabbed the handcuffs behind Coby's back!
"boom"
After a loud explosion, smoke and dust rose up, but the smoke and dust were far away from Garp and Coby, which meant that Garp had thrown the handcuffs far away before they exploded.
Cap narrowed his eyes as he watched Lafayette flying away in the air, but ultimately made no move. With his current state of mind as a god, flying in the air was a piece of cake for him. And with Lafayette's flying speed, it wouldn't take him much time if he really wanted to catch up!
But the words have been spoken, so he will not go back on his word. If he really can't swallow this, he will just catch him next time!
Of course, another reason is that he cannot reveal the fact that he can fly. Vic has solemnly told him so, so in his current battles, he has never used his full strength!
"Go to the warship and find some suitable seastone handcuffs. Apart from the officers, capture as many pirates as you can. They are not good guys!"
After Coby exchanged greetings with the two girls for a while, Garp began to give orders that since Lafayette didn't want Shilu and the others anymore, he should just capture them back. Anyway, these people were originally from Impel Down, so it would be ok to return them to their original owners. However, this time Shilu would be turned from a guard into a prisoner!
"Mr. Garp! The others are easy to deal with, but what about the huge battleship San Juan? It's too big! The warship can't fit it!"
"Notify headquarters and ask them to make arrangements. We have rescued the people and captured the fugitives from Push City. They can't just sit there and do nothing!"
......
Under the joint attack of the master and apprentice duo Wick and Garp, the Blackbeard Pirates completely disappeared in the sea. Except for Lafayette, the rest of the group was either dead or captured, and they completely withdrew from the sequence of chasing the great treasure!
"Vic! This isn't the direction to go back, where are we going?"
Looking at the direction on the record pointer, Olivia asked in some confusion. After they got rid of Blackbeard and his men, they left Victor's Island.
What needed to be solved had been solved, what needed to be obtained had been obtained, and the trip was considered a success. The only regret was that I didn’t see my daughter Robin, although she was very close to me when we were at the border of Wano Country!
"Let's go to the Future Island of Egghead. Vegapunk asked me for help before, and I agreed. Moreover, a genius scientist like Vegapunk will be of great help to our future. Remember the gravity bracelet? That was invented by Vegapunk!"
Victor has long wanted to get Vegapong to his side. Both of them would be good choices, whether he was assigned to the Revolutionary Army to invent advanced technology and weapons, or he was assigned to join his pirate group to provide logistics.
Neither the Revolutionary Army nor himself are short of money now, and can support the huge expenses of Vegapunk.
The Revolutionary Army has the Golden Emperor, a big blood cow, to supply blood, and is no longer what it used to be. Vic has a large amount of gold, which has hardly been used, and is enough to support Vegapunk's research expenses.
It’s just that before, Vegapunk wanted to use the World Government’s money to do his own research. Now the World Government wants to get rid of it. The timing is just right!
"Seeking help? Is it a pirate attack? Isn't that the World Government's territory? Why doesn't he ask the World Government for help?"
"Pirates? Ordinary pirates can't get close to Egghead. His genius brain can be transformed into powerful force. As for why he didn't ask the World Government? Because it's the World Government that wants to take action against him. Who made him know too much?"
Although Vic has never seen Seraphim in person, he has seen traces of Seraphim's attacks on Nine Snake Island, laser cannons, swordsmanship, fruit abilities, etc., plus the descriptions of eyewitnesses, it is still possible to infer the strength of Seraphim!
This kind of humanoid weapon created for combat is not something that ordinary pirates can mess with. And there are Seraphs left behind in Egghead, and it is not known whether it is to protect Vegapunk or to prevent him from escaping!
"What? The World Government is going to take action against Vegapunk? Why? Aren't they in the same group?
I remember that Dr. Clover and Vegapunk were good friends. Dr. Clover would not want to see his old friend in danger, so even if Vegapunk had joined the World Government, I was willing to save him!"
Although Olivia was always looking for the original historical text when she was young, she also knew the relationship between Dr. Clover and Vegapunk. However, Vegapunk later joined the World Government, and O'Hara was destroyed!
