Chapter 342: Kuma
Su Xiao looked at the entrance of his lab and saw Kizara.
— The new bomb was tested in real conditions. We have already started collecting the necessary materials. A special laboratory for creating these bombs will also be created for you soon.
Kizaru's meaning was obvious. Soon, Su Xiao would have to focus solely on building these powerful bombs, as they were of great strategic importance.
— Admiral of the Sengoku Fleet found out that you like to collect famous swords, so he told me to give you two of these swords, " Kizaru put two swords on the table as a sign of the Marine's sincerity.
Su Xiao nodded. Of course, he wasn't going to turn down such good gifts. After all, he would soon be back on Enies Lobby.
— While I can rest? Can I wander the world? Su Xiao asked.
— This... Kizaru wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Xiao. — I swallowed the poison of the agents of the SR. You should know about this, after all, I will die if I try to escape.
Kizaru fell silent for a while.
— I create bombs for you in exchange for swords. Moreover, the swords I receive aren't mine in the literal sense of the word. Basically, I create bombs for the World Government almost for free and have a poison in my body that will quickly kill me if anything happens, " Su Xiao said and lit a cigarette, while Kizaru looked at the alchemy bombs in the lab and the materials scattered around.
This place could be blown up at any time if Su Xiao wished it.
Blowing out the smoke and flicking the ash from his cigarette, Su Xiao said confidently, " I don't care about any of this. In fact, I only made a deal with the World Government because I like building bombs. I got this secret bomb-making technique from my family. Only my family members can use it, and I don't want such beautiful bombs left in my head. I roamed the world for many years and even ended up killing a king. I understand why you're suspicious of me, after all, I'm not like the usual weak scientists.
Shaking his head, Su Xiao asked — " Mr. Kizaru, can I ask you something?
— Of course.
— Did I do something against the World Government?
Kizaru nodded, then shook his head and said, " Yes and no." According to you, you killed the king, but there is no concrete proof of this.
— I really did kill the king. The Marines can arrest me at any time.
Kizaru frowned, and he didn't look so carefree anymore. "Dr. Byakuya, I will have to arrest you because of the murder of the king.
Su Xiao stretched out both hands and said, " Heh~, here, you can arrest me.
Kizaru's frown deepened. "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Since you are currently helping the World Government, you are free to go.
— Great.
Kizaru turned around and stopped at the entrance. - The scenery of the Sabaodi Archipelago is very good and suitable for local sightseeing.
The meaning of his words was obvious.
Su Xiao only nodded at his words.
Looking at the two new swords, he was surprised. They, like the first one, were purple and had a rating of 100 to 130, and the skills attached to the swords were very good.
The world Government was indeed very rich.
Although Su Xiao could now safely leave this island, the Marines would surely send someone along with him, and the most likely choice would be Hina.
The final battle of Enies Lobby was about to begin. Even though Robin's arrest happened faster than in the original plot, and the Straw Hat Pirates didn't know that Robin had helped them, there were other contractors in this world besides Su Xiao.
While Su Xiao was lost in thought, Vegapunk suddenly entered his lab and approached Su Xiao.
— Byakuya, the Marines made you come here?
Su Xiao was stunned at first, then looked at Vegapunk.
— No, I came here by myself.
Vegapunk scratched his head, clearly not believing his words. "Given your situation, you were forced to.
— And you?..
— My friend and I used to study human genes together, but our lab was attacked by Marines. My friend ran away, leaving me behind, " Vegapunk said bitterly. This explained why Kizaru and Sentomaru were on the island right now. They were following Vegapunk.
— You want to escape?
Vegapunk, hearing this, thought for a moment. — I have a plan. That last bomb can be placed in Kuma's body as a last resort.
Su Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Not to mention the men from the Marines, Kuma will agree?
— Yes, he will agree. I feel like he has a big plan of his own, and I saw that he was willing to sacrifice himself for it.
After thinking for a while, Su Xiao nodded.
He had nothing to lose anyway.
— Okay, I can grant the Wrath of Apollo. I still have the materials to build another bomb.
— Should we go to the shelter?
— No, I already understood the specifics of Apollo's Wrath. Even if I make a mistake again, in the worst case scenario, the materials will simply fall into disrepair.
Su Xiao stood up and walked to the exit.
Vegapunk followed him as he understood what Su Xiao wanted.
When they entered the Vegapunk lab, they saw Kuma sitting on a huge table.
He was currently reading a book.
— Kuma, this is Byakuya, my colleague.
Kuma nodded. Even though he was currently sitting down, it was still extremely large.
Su Xiao wondered how Kuma had reached a height of seven meters. Even if he grew up on steroids, he shouldn't have gotten so tall.
— All right, " Kuma said, and continued reading.
— Let's get started.
Three hours later, Vegapunk successfully placed Apollo's Wrath in Kuma's body.
The big man didn't say anything, even though he was watching the process.
After the operation, Kuma pressed his hand to his chest.
— What's it? Kuma finally asked.
— A bomb that will grind you to powder if anything happens.
Su Xiao admired people like Kuma. Self-sacrifice for the sake of their ideals was admirable, unlike the cries of people who only talked about justice.
— How powerful is it?
— If it explodes, the explosion alone will wipe out everything within half a kilometer.
Kuma's pupils narrowed slightly before returning to normal.
Su Xiao looked at Vegapunk, then shook his head and whispered to Kuma, " This bomb can't be controlled. When it is activated, it will immediately begin to emit a huge amount of heat, so before activating it, it will be better if you take it out and throw it at your enemy. Otherwise, you will die faster than your enemy.
Kuma's expression changed slightly. "Thank you, Dr. Byakuya, please accept my gift," Kuma said, and handed Su Xiao an item.
After looking at it, Su Xiao accepted it and returned to his lab.
The Marines, on the other hand, did not react to the fact that the Wrath of Apollo was placed in Kuma's body.
After helping Vegapank, Su Xiao either sat in his lab or walked around the huge complex.
Time was running out fast. The time for the decisive battle was fast approaching.
Su Xiao and Bubtney walked up to Hina and said — " I want to go back to Enies Lobby and see my old friend, his name is Zero.
