Pirates' Max Level System

But when Qin Luo remembered the existence of Vegapunk, there was very little information about this person on the market, as if it had been hidden artificially.

This is why Qin Luo sent Duo Yuya to investigate Vegapunk. Ordinary intelligence personnel were no longer capable of finding Vegapunk.

If Vegapunk couldn't find it, Qin Luo could only turn his attention to Vinsmoke Judge, who also knew the bloodline factor, and M. Caesar Clown, who later mastered the technology of artificial devil fruit.

Qin Luo's concern made the two people in the distance tremble. The latter's laboratory undoubtedly exploded, and the former directly destroyed the experiment in his hand.

It has been a while since Caesar's laboratory exploded, so as long as it doesn't affect other people, let it be.

It was Jiazhi's companions who asked him what was wrong. Jiazhi replied that something bad seemed to be bothering him.

Vegapunk, who was in Judge's group, was taken aback after hearing this. He'd been feeling similarly recently. Their research needed to be accelerated. The research team's location was precarious and, quite possibly, exposed.

Tayuya was quite efficient. After removing the strange mask from Orochimaru's head, Tayuya, now dressed as a swordswoman, began her journey to find Vegapunk. Whether her weapon was the blade she wore at her waist or the flute she always played with is another matter.

A whole team of Security Bureau intelligence personnel and agents also followed behind Tayuya to support his mission.

Tayuya's first stop will be Vegapunk's hometown, the Mechanical Island in the Grand Line, and the future kingdom of Balkimoa.

It was a month later when Tayuya heard the next news. In the future kingdom of Balkimoa, Tayuya naturally came to nothing and did not see the rumored Vegapunk.

According to intelligence, Vegapunk is currently in a research institute overseas. However, the location of this overseas research institute is a bit interesting. Tayuya's mission is to find the location of this overseas research institute before Vegapunk moves there.

However, Tayuya's visit to the future kingdom of Balkimoa was not without success. In Vegapunk's secret base, Tayuya found many of Vegapunk's early research designs, technical drawings, and even some speculations about bloodline factors.

To hide and protect these things, Vegapunk has set up numerous traps in his secret base. These traps are incredibly effective against Devil Fruit users and ordinary humans alike. Unfortunately, Tayuya is a ninja, so these traps are ridiculously straightforward in front of her.

After all, Tayuya has fought against Shikamaru's serious form, and she has been bullied by people with higher IQs many times, so she must have some countermeasures.

So all the things hidden by Vegapunk ended up being Qin Luo's. With the help of the team of intelligence personnel and agents who followed him, these documents were taken out one by one and secretly sent to Fishman Island.

In addition to affirming Duoyouya, Qin Luo's reply also included an additional order.

Balkimoa is a futuristic kingdom on the island of machinery, known as the "birthplace of genius." The people of this island have an innate understanding of machinery and technology that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

In addition to the monster Vegapunk, there are many scientists and people who can be called geniuses on the island.

If there is no clear clue about Vegapunk's research team, Qin Luo asks Duoyou not to leave in a hurry and help the people from the Security Bureau contact those scientists.

Finding some assistants for Orochimaru has become an urgent matter.

Qin Luo was not at ease at all in the laboratory with only Orochimaru in it. When he went to see it some time ago, he found that there were many more things with good emetic effects in the laboratory.

Qin Luo was a little worried that Orochimaru would lead his faction's technology tree astray. Qin Luo was not looking forward to experiencing a real version of Resident Evil in the world of pirates.

Aren't all the scientists on the Mechanical Island into mechanical schools? Let's quickly recruit a few to neutralize the increasingly serious bias of the Fishman Island Laboratory in biotechnology.

While Tayuya and the others were busy searching for talents on the Mechanical Island, her target, Vegapunk, was looking at the receiver in his hand that was broken into pieces with a gloomy face.

Chapter 612 Research Team

Because he had to leave the secret base for quite a long time, Vegapunk set up quite a few deadly traps and naturally left other backup plans.

The receiver in your hand is one of the backup plans.

This receiver can receive signals from the secret base. The signal is very weak, and only through various means arranged by Vegapunk can the information be transmitted to this receiver.

Even if ordinary people intercepted the weak signal sent from the secret base, they would not be able to decipher the meaning, let alone find the location of Vegapunk through the signal.

The receiver has four forms and one function button.

Under normal circumstances, the receiver would light up green, indicating that everything was normal at the secret base. If the secret base was suspected of being attacked, the green light would turn white. If it was confirmed that someone had invaded the base and the traps had been triggered, the light would turn yellow.

A yellow light meant alert. He couldn't just go on high alert just because any little cat or dog stumbled into his secret base. Vegapunk had some confidence in the traps he'd designed. At least once the intruder reached the core area, the light on the receiver would turn red, indicating danger.

The only function button can only be unlocked when the red light on the receiver of 063 is on, and it has only one function: a few seconds after pressing the button, the intruder will disappear from this world along with Vegapunk's secret base.

This is a self-destruct button that directly detonates a bomb hidden in a secret base. After the button is pressed, the receiver will directly break into several pieces, leaving the enemy no chance to track the signal back.

What Vegapunk was thinking now was: his previous bad premonition had become a reality, some forces were tracking him down, his old secret base had just been invaded and he had personally sent it into the sky.

He had a huge grudge with that force. Whether it was the traps he set or the final explosion, Vegapunk caused huge losses to that force.

From the beginning to the end, Vegapunk had never considered that someone of the rank of admiral would invade his secret base. After all, no matter which faction, admirals were a rarity; they wouldn't be sent in to detect mines.

Vegapunk would never have thought that Tayuya, a ninja, could use the three ghosts summoned by substitution techniques and summoning techniques to violently break all the traps along the way without any injuries.

In the core area, Tayuya used sonic ninjutsu to directly destroy all the wiring mechanisms in the area in order to open the hatch where something was hidden, including the device that detonated the bomb.

A bomb that fails to explode is just a toy made of explosives. No matter how big it is, it cannot serve as a deterrent.

After a moment of silence, Vegapunk left his room calmly. After returning to the laboratory, he returned to his calm and composed appearance.

Because Vegapunk was frightened away by the strangeness of the receiver, when he came back many people asked him what happened.

Vegapunk smiled and said it was no big deal. Even though these people were his colleagues in the research team, he had no intention of telling them about it.

Should I tell them that a powerful unknown force is tracking us, that my lair has been destroyed, and that they might soon find the research team's location.

Vegapunk was 100% sure that after he told this news, at least half of the people in the research team would run away.

The smarter a person is, the more they value their life. This is common sense in anime. Therefore, the protagonists in hot-blooded comics are basically some brainless fools.

Oh, except for Mr. Saitama, this guy is extremely smart.

Seeing that the research and experiments were about to be completed, Vegapunk was a little reluctant to give up halfway. He didn't know when he would be able to gather such a group of researchers again.

So, Vegapunk asked everyone to stay with him and just give him some more time, please. Vegapunk prayed silently in his heart, and the speed of the experiment in his hands could not help but speed up.

People around him soon discovered that Dr. Vegapunk, who had been out for a while, seemed to have found new inspiration. The research progress, which had been slow, was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Dr. Vegapunk's experimental operations were extremely fast, like a precision instrument, his movements were accurate and efficient.

Inspired by Vegapunk's behavior, the other researchers rekindled their enthusiasm for their heavy research work. Only Vinsmoke Judge looked at Vegapunk with a strange expression.

Vinsmoke Judge had long been aware of Vegapunk's terrifying strength. He could see that Vegapunk had been hiding his weakness in order not to isolate himself from the research team, and what was forcing him to use all his strength now?

Vinsmoke Judge is not only a scientist, he is also the future King of Germa and patriarch of the Vinsmoke family. His sensitivity to danger is unmatched by anyone else in the research team.

Looking at the busy scene in the laboratory and the nine huge glass vessels standing in the room, a hint of danger appeared in his eyes, and Vinsmoke Judge felt that he needed to prepare a retreat first.

Opportunities only come to those who are prepared. It is not without reason that in the original history, only Vinsmoke Judge successfully escaped from the research team controlled by the World Government.

"Judge, where are you going?" Vinsmoke Judge's actions caught the attention of the other researchers. It was strange today, with people constantly leaving the lab, and they were the two smartest people on the research team. Normally, these people stayed in the lab all day.

"Go to sleep," Vinsmoke Judge replied coldly. The burly figure had always been known for his serious demeanor within the research team, but trying too hard at this point would have given him away, so a cold and indifferent demeanor was a good option.

"You started it."

"You didn't just take a short break from watching Vegapunk and get some new inspiration, so you want to copy him."

"You can't learn it, you can't learn it. You are different from others. Even if you sleep until this time next year, you will not be able to grasp the truth."

"Boring." Vinsmoke Judge left without looking back.

There was laughter in the laboratory. For them, who had been devoted to research for a long time, joking became the only way to relieve their inner pressure, even if the target was the strong Judge.

Of course, joking aside, no one could stop someone who hadn't slept for several days from resting. No one suspected what Judge said.

Chapter 613: Brewing

After successfully returning to his room without attracting any attention, Judge did not waste time on so-called rest, but immediately began his own plan.

You never know when danger will return, so planning your escape plan early is an extra insurance.

With the help of his observations of the terrain of the research team's base, Jiazhi quickly drew a map of the entire research base.

Including passages, rooms, number of guards, exit locations, and various other information are marked on the map in great detail. If you don't know much, you might think it is a guide manual for the research base.

Over and over again, Judge planned his escape route, especially how to escape from this research base when facing various blockades.

"No." Time and time again, Judge was not satisfied with the escape route he designed.

Tell Jiazhi directly that the chances of successful escape from the escape routes he had planned before were no more than 50%.

Such a success rate is unacceptable to Vinsmoke Judge, who claims to be a genius, especially when it concerns his life.

The point is not here. After thinking about it, Jiazhi found the problem.

At present, Judge only saw from Vegapunk that something dangerous was approaching the research team, but he had no idea what this danger was.

Was it an outside force, or was it something inside the nine jars? Judge thought both were possible, so it was a 50-50 chance.

And when will this danger come, and in what form? Judge has no idea.

You know, as a research team that brings together so many scholars, it is impossible for them to have no security at all. On the contrary, the security level of this research base far exceeds that of ordinary naval bases.

Otherwise, you think that you can start research with just a few scholars.

Do researchers have to pay for food, clothing, and shelter? Do research materials and equipment cost money? Do research bases cost money? Do base security costs money?

It's good that everything costs money, and it's a money-eating monster.

The entire research team was invited by Vegapunk, and eight major organizations and countries from all over the world participated in the investment.

Vegapunk promised these factions that upon completion of the research, they would provide all eight factions with complete data and a finished product. The factions, sensing the potential for blood, duly arrived, and through screening and competition, eight spots were quickly secured, including the Germa Kingdom, the kingdom behind Vinsmoke Judge.

The eight forces followed the principle of not interfering with experiments set by Vegapunk, and each was responsible for a piece of investment content.

The security personnel didn't know where the research base was. The research base provider didn't have any personnel at the base except for transporting materials and supplies. The task of providing equipment, funds, and materials was even more disrupted, having been distributed among the other six companies. No one had a complete list of equipment and materials.

This relatively stable mode of cooperation has enabled the research to proceed peacefully until now.

Even so, the research team was about to face a crisis, and judging by Vegapunk's expression, the base's defenses couldn't handle it. With that thought in mind, Judge threw away the map and prepared a backup plan.

As a native of the Germa Kingdom, Judge was able to successfully join the research team without being blocked. Naturally, he had his own way of doing things.

There are no one from our side among the guards, and when the research team came in, all the Den Den Mushi and other communication equipment were destroyed?

Humph, the hermit has his own clever plan.

Judge wrote his plan on a very small and thin piece of paper, rolled it up and stuffed it into a capsule.

Then Judge opened a cage and a black shadow suddenly ran out of the cage.

After the black shadow left the cage, it quickly grew larger and finally stabilized at the size of an adult.

"Pah, you Vinsmoke Judge! You asked me to act as a mouse, and you actually thought I was one. You locked me up in a cage for so long and kept feeding me mouse chow. This matter is not over yet."

From the very beginning when he joined the research team, Judge hired a very famous and special mercenary, Beta, who has the ability of the Mouse Fruit.

Why is it special? Beta's mouse devil fruit did not bring him much combat power, but it gave him a special ability.

Beta can transform into any kind of mouse at will, without any flaws in size or shape. This transformation is also extremely stable, which means that it is not impossible for Beta to survive as a mouse.

Scientists in the research team were allowed to bring pets in, so Beta disguised himself as Judge's hamster and sneaked in. However, in order to avoid being exposed, Judge never let him out of the cage.

"Don't worry, those private messages are nutritious and can be eaten by humans. What can a hamster do?"

Judge held down Beta, who was about to fight. This mercenary's fighting ability wasn't as high as his. "Send a secret letter for me, and I'll double your reward this time."

I don’t know if it was because he knew he couldn’t beat Judge, or because he was attracted by the double reward, but Beta obediently turned back into a hamster.

After Judge put the capsule containing the secret letter in his mouth, a hamster ran out of Judge's room with its feet running.

...0

Beta will board the nearest transport team that is delivering supplies to the research base, contact Judge's men, and tell them the secret letter and the location of the research base.

As long as these are completed, Beta's mission will be accomplished.

Watching the mercenary Beta leave, Vinsmoke Judge fell into deep thought.

The first step of the plan had already been sent out, and next he had to make plans for himself. After being in the research team for so long, it would be a shame to leave without taking anything with him.

While Vinsmoke Judge's conspiracy was brewing, Tayuya, the culprit who made Vegapunk uneasy, was plundering various geniuses on the Mechanical Island in wave after wave.

After several days of investigation, the intelligence personnel of the Security Bureau finalized the list of scholars or geniuses to be taken away this time.

There were fifteen names on the list.

Be it coercion, inducement, or the call of duty, the Security Bureau team and Duo Yuya took turns to take action and managed to load these scholars onto the ship.

If the navy hadn't appeared on the Mechanical Island, Tayuya and his men would have been able to exceed their mission targets.

The people on the Mechanical Island called this incident the greatest disaster in a hundred years, and the report was even published in newspapers around the world, but people just laughed it off as a joke.

There's nothing we can do about it. There have been so many once-in-a-century and once-in-a-millennium pirate incidents in recent years. The Navy and the World Government alone have both achieved their greatest victories in a millennium, against the most vicious pirates in history.
