Chapter 959 Invitation to Join
Nami: "Luffy! Is this the new form on your wanted poster?"
Brooke: “It’s huge!!”
Seeing Luffy's huge pure white body, Nami and Brook exclaimed, and Chopper and Usopp had stars in their eyes!
Although Luffy awakened the Nika form in Wano Country, none of his companions had seen it at that time. This is the first time he transformed into this form in front of his companions!
He had also transformed when fighting the invading Lucci before, but at that time only Zoro who was fighting Kaku had seen it. The others only saw it on the surveillance camera. This time he officially saw it.
"Borusalino! Go!"
Victor only said this one sentence, and Luffy caught Kizaru!
Luffy only knew that Kizaru was here to harm Vegapunk, so he swung his arm like a fan and directly threw Kizaru out, hoping to cause some trouble for Kizaru and prevent him from coming back to make trouble so soon!
But Kizaru is the user of the Natural-type Pika-Pika Nomi, how could he be defeated by such a childish move?
This move has no real damage except throwing Kizaru farther away. It would be ridiculous to expect him to fall into the sea and drown. People with natural abilities have too many means. Kizaru quickly flew back with light spraying from his feet.
In fact, Luffy just wanted to throw Kizaru away. Otherwise, if he had caught him in his hand, he could have directly wrapped his armament Haki in it and swung him to the ground, which would have at least caused Kizaru some minor injuries. There are other moves with stronger attack power, but Luffy did not use them.
"Are you here to kill Uncle Apple?"
"Uncle Apple? You mean Vegapunk, right? That's exactly my mission!"
"Then I can't let you pass. I won't hand Uncle Apple over to you. Come on! Let me see the admiral's strength!"
The battle between Luffy and Kizaru caused a lot of noise, but the main control room was very calm. The excitement had already been overcome, and with Victor, the backbone, here, who would worry about the enemies outside!
Then after a while, Franky came to the main control room with Lilith and Robin.
Franky and Robin were so excited to see Vic that they forgot what they were going to do. It was Lilith who interrupted their chatter.
Their original mission was to transport the Sunny to the seaside to escape, but the super-large robot No. 1 controlled by Lilith was blown up by Kizaru's laser beam, and then the Sunny was thrown onto the island cloud. Now no one can move the Sunny, so they came to the main control room to ask for help!
"This is easy. Have you all forgotten Rebecca's fruit ability? She is the user of the Float-Float Fruit. She can make the Sunny float just by touching it. There is no need for anyone to control it."
Vic could also do this easily. Now that he had the ability to teleport, he could teleport the Sunny to the seaside.
However, the seashore is full of warships now, and if he sends them there, they will have to withstand bombardment. Another point is that he does not want to expose this ability casually.
If he was the only one who teleported, it could be attributed to the elementalization of the Thunder Fruit, but a pirate ship of dozens of meters is too much. Rebecca's ability is better, and the outside world has known about it for a long time. She can also leave directly from the air, which is the safest way now.
"I'll ask Sister Rebecca for help!"
The one who spoke was Robin, because she had learned from Vic that her mother had also come to the island and was next to Rebecca. Now that Vic had come up with a good idea, she was of course the first to respond. Robin hadn't seen her mother for a long time!
It feels good to have someone you care about!
"Doctor! What are your plans for the future? Even if you escape this time, the World Government will not give up easily. You know too much and you have no ability to protect yourself. Are you going to keep running away?"
After Robin left the control room, Vic got to the point of his visit. Vegapunk is indeed a genius scientist who can even create a fighting machine like Seraph!
If Seraphim can be mass-produced, then Vegapunk can become a force on its own. Seraphim's strength may not be as good as that of the Vice-Admiral, but the difference is not too far. It is also at the level of the captain of the Three Disasters Stars!
One or two may not be a big threat, but what about a group? Even the Four Emperors would have a headache. In addition, Vegapunk has the technology to copy devil fruits. How many god-level devil fruits can he create? How many people can he make strong? This is not a half-baked animal-type fruit made by Caesar!
Therefore, Vegapunk has the potential to become a hegemon by relying on his own brain. This is the power of genius mind and technology. It all depends on the cost of Seraph and Devil Fruit!
So Vic really wanted to invite Vegapunk over. He was afraid that Vegapunk would value peace and stop creating Seraphim. That would be a huge loss!
"this..."
In fact, Vegapunk hadn't thought about his future plans. He was facing a massacre this time, and all he could think about was taking one step at a time. Although he was smart, it was useless in this regard. Vegapunk obviously couldn't answer Vic's question.
"Nami! Do you need scientists on board? You have seen the power of Seraph, right? As long as you have enough money, Vegapunk can create countless strong men of this level, and your pirate group will become the strongest force on the sea!
You no longer have to worry about the navy's pursuit. Instead, they will be afraid of you. It will be easy to obtain the great treasure and help Luffy become the Pirate King. Now the opportunity is here, why not act quickly! "
Seeing that Vegapunk didn't say anything, Vic said to Nami next to him that the Straw Hat Pirates were good in everything except money, and no matter how much money they had, it would be spent soon.
So it’s a pipe dream to want Nami to invest in Vegapunk to conduct research and mass-produce Seraphim!
The Straw Hat Pirates can at most help Vegapunk avoid disaster, but how could Vegapunk, with his genius brain and the power of the Brain-Brain Fruit, sit idle?
It's fine for a while, but it will definitely cause problems if it lasts too long. Vic is going to cut off Vegapunk's other ideas. What's wrong with making weapons? It's enough to use weapons to do the right thing!
"Ah! That's good, but our pirate group has never had much money. I'm afraid we can only kidnap Luffy and Zoro and take them to the World Government to exchange for money. They are the only two who are worth some money!"
Nami was a smart girl and she quickly understood what Vic meant. She knew that Vic wanted to recruit Vegapunk!
In fact, Nami didn’t care about Vegapunk getting on the ship, because Franky was already on the ship, and they could manufacture basic weapons, which was enough for them to use. They didn’t really need any high-tech weapons!
To be honest, the functions of Vegapunk and Franky are somewhat overlapping. If Luffy really wants to invite them, Nami will not refuse. If the functions overlap, then so be it. It will be more lively with more people.
But I’m afraid that Vegapunk can’t sit still. His research is too expensive. Only a behemoth like the World Government can afford it. And their Straw Hat Pirates are notoriously poor and can’t afford it at all!
Now Vic wants to invite Vegapunk, which is perfect. It can not only guarantee Vegapunk's safety, but also provide research funds. It should be the best place to go!
