Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

boom.

"It hurts."

Uta took two steps back, fell on the ground with a wronged look, and became angry when he looked at Luffy.

Luffy's pupils shrank in shock when he realized what was happening.

"Could this be...?!"

Stupid!

Luffy tried to swing his hand at an abandoned refrigerator, and the lightsaber cut the refrigerator in half directly like cutting tofu, and the cut was still glowing with hot flames.

Dangdangdang!

“Oh! It’s a laser sword!!”

Luffy and Chopper opened their mouths wide, their eyes shining with excitement.

"That's amazing, Luffy, you can actually find such a great thing among a pile of junk."

Usopp couldn't help but praise.

It was just a laser sword, but he wasn't envious at all because he had one.

Luffy turned his head towards him, grinning and showing two rows of bright teeth, and said with a smug smile:

"Hehehe, when we were little, Ace Sabo and I would often look for treasures at the Waste Terminal. I was pretty lucky, wasn't I?"

"So he's very experienced, really amazing."

Franky laughed.

It was just a laser sword, but he didn't envy it because he had one too.

"But, even though it's called a scrapyard, it seems like a lot of things here are still usable. No, I should say they're not broken at all."

After observing the surroundings, Franky found that except for the laser sword in Luffy's hand, many electrical appliances here were intact.

But if it is called a warehouse, it doesn't look like it is thrown around randomly and without any order.

"Actually, the things here are all discarded failures. The reason they're not thrown away is because I might come back and renovate them someday if I have a new idea."

At this moment, a voice came from the depths of the abandoned site, and everyone's attention was drawn there at the same time.

A middle-aged man in a white coat and with pale hair and beard came out. His long tongue was sticking out from under his broom beard, and his long and thin legs made his whole body look like a goblet.

The most eye-catching thing is that half an apple is floating on his bald head, as if the apple was inserted on his head with a branch, with a green leaf on it.

"Hello everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates, my name is Vegapunk."

Vegapunk put his hands behind his back, walked up to Luffy while greeting him, and took over the previous topic:

"Like the laser sword in your hand, although it's powerful, its light attracts mosquitoes, so I left it here."

"It just attracts mosquitoes, it's nothing serious."

dong dong!

dong dong!

Luffy said nonchalantly, staring at Vegapunk's head curiously. He knocked on the left, then jumped to the right and knocked again, frowning.

"Can't I eat it?"

"How presumptuous, bastard! What are you complaining about? This is the smartest brain in the world!"

Vegapunk rolled his eyes and bared his teeth at Luffy and growled.

Luffy scratched his head awkwardly and waved his hands in apology:

"Oh my, sorry, Uncle Apple Head."

"Really? He doesn't look like Dorag at all. He looks just like your grandfather. They're cut from the same cloth."

Vegapunk sighed, then pointed at his apple head and explained to them:

"This is actually the antenna that receives the [Punk Records] above. That's my real brain."

As he spoke, he pointed to the sky again. Luffy and the others looked in the direction of his hand and saw a huge purple eggshell floating above the clouds.

"Is that your brain?"

"Yes, as my knowledge grew, my head kept getting bigger, and it hasn't stopped until now. As you can see, I can't even walk with such a big head on my head, so..."

Vegapunk paused, blinked like a mischievous old boy, and said calmly:

"I just cut it off."

"Cut it off!!"

A group of people lined up and couldn't help rolling their eyes and complaining loudly.

"Don't make it sound so easy!"

"This is a brain!"

"It's a medical miracle!"

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper shouted angrily.

Seeing the reactions of several people, Vegapunk was very satisfied, with a proud smile on his face.

"Because I'm the brain person of the Brain-Brain Fruit, there's no problem. My brain capacity for absorbing unlimited knowledge, coupled with my genius IQ, gave birth to the most powerful brain, Panke Record."

"If one day this brain could be shared by all of humanity, everyone in the world would have unlimited knowledge, and cyberpunk records would explode in data."

"It sounds impressive, but it's inexplicably terrifying. I'd recommend you don't do this kind of thing."

Sanji frowned and felt as if he had goosebumps all over his body.

"Science won't progress if we're timid. Well, let's talk about that later."

After saying this, Vegapunk glanced at Luffy, then turned back to look at Robin.

"A survivor of O'Hara, the demon child who pursues the truth of history, Nico Robin, and one of the successors of the Will of D, the Straw Hat Kid, is this a coincidence or a destined meeting?"

Hearing this, Sanji and the others immediately became alert.

"Come with me, I want to show you something."

Under the cautious gaze of the group, Vegapunk turned and walked towards the depths of the wasteland, his hands behind his back, saying:

"What do you think of this place? With all the technology, it's like the future."

Without waiting for Luffy and the others to respond, Vegapunk continued speaking.

"What if I told you that this is how the world should have been? Many of the things here were invented by me based on technology from 800 years ago?"

"800 years ago?"

"Wait a minute! You're saying these things existed so long ago?"

Usopp was amazed and looked around at the various "weird" technological products, with the same look of disbelief on his face as everyone else.

"Eight hundred years ago."

Hearing the key words, Robin's brows furrowed and he muttered to himself.

Vegapunk seemed to have anticipated her reaction and said without turning his head:

"That's right. During the blank hundred years, the advanced civilization that this world already possessed was destroyed, and all traces of its existence were erased by the World Government."

The wind was noisy, bringing the coolness of the sea and dispelling the heat in the air.

Under the clear sky, a huge robot lies quietly in the ruins, with moss all over the rusty iron sheet. It has been untouched for a long time and has become a relic that exudes an ancient atmosphere. The traces of time are revealed under the sunlight.

After passing through several piles of waste, the group finally arrived in front of this huge ancient robot. They were all shocked by this creation that combined two completely different auras: antiquity and technology.

"It appeared 200 years ago, suddenly attacking the holy land of Marijoa, and research has shown that its existence can be traced back to 800 years ago."

"To be honest, I'm ashamed to say that the energy used by this robot is something I can't replicate even with today's technology. In other words, the truth that O'Hara's scholars pursue, the vast kingdom with a highly advanced civilization that they have unearthed from countless documents."

Vegapunk turned around and said in a strong voice to Robin's stunned eyes:

"800 years ago! It really existed!!"

Standing in front of the ancient robot, the history of the world seemed to turn into countless fragments flashing through Robin's mind, as if the air had solidified at this moment, so quiet that she didn't want to be disturbed.

In other words, everyone is right.

Mother, Dr. Clover, and everyone at O'Hara are gradually approaching the truth of the world.

Suddenly, the sounds in my ears gradually became clearer: the rustling of green leaves, the chirping of insects in the grass, and the singing of birds in the shade of trees.

The breeze blew through her clothes, and Robin stood there motionless until she came to her senses and found that everyone was looking at her worriedly.

Unknown when, tears had already slid down his face and wet his collar. Robin subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it away and shook his head gently.

"Sorry, I'm fine, I just..."

The words came to his lips but he didn't know where to start. Robin just bit his lower lip tightly and clenched his hands tightly.

Because you are close to the truth of the world, you will be completely erased.

She seemed to see O'Hara in the artillery fire, the Tree of All-Knowing burning mercilessly in the flames, and her mother's voice.

"We never thought of overthrowing the world, Robin. The truth does not necessarily need to be known by us, but we must protect the voice left by history."

Chapter 371 Rescue Hancock

The huge machine called 'Locker Room' opened its door, and Reiner, Zoro, and Brook walked out with embarrassed faces.

It was quite strange to have your clothes forcibly stripped off by the robot claws and see each other naked.

After being brought to the island by Lilith, Reiner immediately went to pick up the two people guarding the ship, leaving behind several powerful undead to guard the Merry.

"How about it, it's not bad."

Lilith grinned proudly and introduced Reiner and the others:

"What you're wearing on your feet now is called a DOM boot. You can adjust it with the joystick. It will automatically tighten according to the size of your foot."

"Is that so?"

Zoro bent down and tried it on. At this time, he had changed into a set of green long clothes that looked a bit heavy, and it was full of technology like a space suit.
