Chapter 336: Vegapunk
The warship was slowly mooring up to the shore, and Su Xiao walked out of his cabin with Bubtney.
An island appeared in his field of vision. This island was covered in trees and looked like it was just an ordinary uninhabited island.
After taking a closer look, Su Xiao could vaguely make out one watchtower among the trees. After understanding what the watchtowers on this island looked like, he quickly discovered at least a dozen watchtowers.
The island looked uninhabited, and from a distance, it might seem that no one lived on it, but as soon as the enemy approached, they would immediately open fire on it.
Almost every third tree was covered with cannons.
After jumping into the small boat, Tsuru, Hina, and Su Xiao slowly made their way towards the island. There was no dock on this island that a large warship could dock at, so the only way to get to it was with small boats.
After reaching the shore, Su Xiao jumped down to the ground. At a glance, one could tell that there was no one around, but he could sense the presence of at least a hundred people in the forest nearby.
— Mr. Byakuya, I'll leave you here. Hina will be responsible for your safety, and if you need anything, you can ask her for it.
Tsuru only accompanied Su Xiao to this island out of fear that the ship might be attacked by other factions.
Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately took the boat back, which made Su Xiao feel relieved.
Fortunately, he won't have to compete with Tsuru.
— Let's go, " Hina said, and walked forward.
Su Xiao followed her and often looked around.
The people in the forest weren't hostile, but they were watching them closely.
As soon as they entered the forest, Su Xiao felt that the air was fresher, and the occasional bird call could be heard.
Su Xiao felt that at least a hundred guns were pointed at him, while not a single one was pointed at Hina.
Under Hina's guidance, they finally arrived at a complex of steel buildings. It must have been one huge laboratory.
Two people were waiting at the entrance. One of them was tall and was wearing a light yellow striped suit, and over that suit was a white lab coat. He was wearing yellow sunglasses over his eyes, and on the back of his robe was written "Justice».
This man's face was covered in wrinkles, making his sleepy face look a little tired.
Su Xiao's heart skipped a beat as soon as he saw it.
He was one of the three admirals of the Marine Watch, Borsalino, also known as Kizaru. It has the power of the Pika Pika no Mi logia type devil fruit. In addition, he has incredible physical strength and is considered one of the strongest swordsmen in the world.
— Yo~, you're finally here, " Kizaru said slowly.
— Old man, this guy's temperament doesn't seem right, he doesn't look like a scientist at all, " standing next to Kizaru was a fat white guy named Sentomaru, who is the captain of the Marine Scientific division.
Kizaru took out a photo from his pocket and looked at it, then shook his head.
— Kizaru's eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed that Su Xiao's temperament wasn't normal.
— Admiral Borsalino, target delivered, " Hina said and saluted Kizar.
— Well, Sengoku told me that this guy's name is Byakuya, and before he enters the lab, I need to make sure that this is the right guy.".
He immediately took out Deng Deng Musi.
— Byakuya, can you show us your bomb? Sentomaru directed the Deng Deng Musi at Su Xiao.
He immediately took out a bomb and started activating and deactivating it, causing it to constantly change its shape.
Kizaru looked at the bomb in surprise. — Will others be able to control these bombs as well?
— To a certain extent, but not like me, " Su Xiao said and threw the bomb to Kizar, then proceeded to explain to him how it could be controlled.
Although the bomb only slightly reacted to Kizaru's commands, he was still satisfied with this result.
Activating the bomb in his hand, the blast wave spread out in all directions, and when the dust cleared, everyone saw Kizaru only glancing at his hand, which didn't even have a small scratch on it.
— The power of the explosion isn't bad, " Kizaru said.
— Welcome, welcome, " a voice suddenly rang out from the snail.
— Kizaru picked it up and walked to the side.
A couple of minutes later he returned without the snail.
— Byakuya, today you can rest and adapt to your new surroundings, and tomorrow I'll bring you someone to meet.
Su Xiao shook his head. — I don't need to rest.
Kizaru raised his eyebrows. "Really hardworking, well, let's go now.
When the group entered the lab, Su Xiao noticed how complicated this place was.
For now, he could safely call this place a maze.
After a few minutes Kizaru led them to a certain room.
The sound of metal colliding echoed through the room, and soon, the experimental platform came into Su Xiao's field of vision.
A seven-meter-tall man was lying on this platform. There were no clothes on his upper body, which made it clear that his body wasn't made of flesh and blood.
He was already a humanoid weapon.
Seeing the man's face, Su Xiao's eyes lit up. The man on the platform was Bartholomew Cooma, the first Pacifist.
A thin man about five feet tall was working next to his body.
— Dr. Vegapunk, are you still modifying Kuma? Vegapunk grimaced at Borsalino's question.
— Don't be so loud. I'll be done soon, " Vegapunk replied to the admiral. He was a very valuable person, and the highest ranks of the World Government would not be able to do anything to him in case of anything, let alone an admiral.
(Editor's note: I didn't find any pictures of it, so I'll have this one~)
He might even scold him if he interrupted him while working.
Kizaru's face didn't even change, as if this was happening all the time. The technology created by Vegapunk was 500 years ahead of the technology of this world, so the World Government could not do without it.
— Doctor, I brought him here.
Vegapunk, hearing this, turned around.
— The man who built that bomb? Where is he? Vegapunk looked flustered.
— Kizaru pointed at Su Xiao.
— Vegapunk stepped forward and looked Su Xiao up and down. — How did you create such a bomb?" Is this the ability of the devil fruit? Genetic modification?
Su Xiao was stunned.
— No, it's alchemy. Alchemy is... Su Xiao gave Vegapunk a basic explanation of alchemy. Vegapunk listened with great interest, and the others seemed to have turned off their brains, preferring not to listen to this not-so-interesting explanation.
— Roughly speaking, alchemy is not exactly an occult science. Alchemy is the exploration of nature by humans." — All the materials you need are ready and they can be considered a truly ideal alternative, but can you create a bomb?
— No problem at all.
The issue with materials was resolved by Vegapank, but now there is a problem with mana. He needed to find something that could quickly restore his mana.
— However, one problem remained. My natural energy reserves are very limited, and it takes a lot of energy to create bombs.
— You don't have to worry about it. I created some stuff a long time ago because I didn't have enough energy and it really interfered with my research, " Vegapunk said and handed the test tube to Su Xiao.
[Quality: Purple.
Type: Potion.
Effect: Restores 100% of mana after consumption.
Rating: 150.
Description: Has no side effects, you can drink one after the other — the effectiveness of the potion will not suffer.]
Su Xiao was stunned. High-level worlds were indeed different.
— Then you'll be all right.
Building bombs for the World Government will help Su Xiao gain huge benefits.
Right now, the question wasn't even how many levels he could raise, but whether there was a limit to leveling up the alchemy branch.
But in reality, Su Xiao was waiting for the moment when the bomb leveling layer reached level 10.
Once that happened, he would be able to create alchemy medicines, and this was something Su Xiao was looking forward to.
