Chapter 591 Finale and Vegapunk
Chapter 591 Finale and Vegapunk
To be honest, Skyler was startled by the two dumbfounded men Ace and Eniro. It is estimated that these two people really did not come to their senses and were still really going to fight.
Look at General Fujitora. He is leaning on a crutch with one hand and scratching his thigh with the other hand out of boredom. Among the young people, Luo, who is the most threatening to attack, is holding milk tea in his hand to replenish his sugar. .
Not to mention the other members of the Zhanye detachment. The Zhanye detachment seemed to be on full alert at this time, but in fact, it had blocked the offensive positions of the other three detachments, ensuring that they had no space to take action.
Ace and Enel looked at CP with indignation, as if they regarded Lu Qi as their enemy. Fortunately, both of them knew that without Skyler's order, it was not time to take action yet.
Therefore, he just showed up to support Skyler and did not act recklessly.
At this time, no one noticed it, or they had discovered it, but they deliberately allowed the two snakes of the Nine Snakes Pirates to leave the pirate ship. At this time, the two snakes had appeared below the Sonny.
It seemed that as long as an order was given, the two snakes would desperately drag the Sonny away. In fact, this was the case, but this was Hancock's unilateral order.
After all, he didn't know that the navy and CP were acting at this time. She was really worried that her... Luffy-kun would die violently when the two organizations fought. Looking at this situation, once the war started, at least all members of the Straw Hats would be included. seriously injured.
Therefore, she was willing to give up her chance to escape and try to let the Sunny leave first, but no one who noticed this would stop her. After all, this was a good thing.
Moreover, as long as the Sunny is not released by either the CP or the Navy, everyone's report will be easier to prepare after returning.
Hancock has the Amazon Lily Kingdom at his back. If the World Government really wants to touch her, it will consider it. As long as he is not killed on the spot, Hancock's life is almost not in danger.
Unless the World Government really dares to directly tear up the Shichibukai system and become an enemy of all Shichibukai, the World Government can only hold her accountable and cannot substantially harm her.
Lucci on the Sonny seemed to realize that he was the last obstacle before the snakes took action, so in a sudden thought, he made a gesture to attack Skyler.
Skyler slowed down for a moment, then realized what Lu Qi was thinking, showed a mocking and domineering smile, and said: "Talk? Are you sure that your CP is really qualified to talk to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Skyler's sword power also surged, and Lu Qi immediately took action. Like the sharp claws of his hands cutting through the curtain of space, ten blue slashes appeared and attacked Skyler together with him.
Between the opening and closing of the black sword Gu Yuzuo in Skyler's hand, countless slashes condensed and collided.
"Boom~~~"
In an instant, the sea surface seemed to explode, waves splashed up, and the aftermath of the attack cut into mist. In the hazy moment, Hancock also seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the snake to take action.
"Bang Bang~"
Two snakes rushed out of the sea, dragging the Sonny and quickly leaving the encirclement. On the Sonny, Franky also reacted at this time and quickly returned to the cabin to control the pirate ship.
The wind cannon on the ship also exploded at this moment, and the overloaded rolling of the outer wheel completely sent the Sunny out of the encirclement of the CP and the navy.
Franky also laughed wildly at this time, because not only did they seize the opportunity to escape, but they were also surprised to find that the following sea currents were actually smooth and smooth.
In this case, their engines, which are weaker than those of warships, can close the gap. Although they can't escape the pursuit of warships after sailing for a long time,...
Anyone can sail in a straight line, and fast in turbulent flow is fast!
Frankie believed that as long as he was given room to operate, even a warship would not be impossible to escape.
At this time, at the port, Lu Qi and Skyler, who had been attacking each other, quickly stopped. When Lu Qi saw the fleeing Sunny, he immediately rushed back to the warship and ordered a pursuit.
But they got bad news, that is, the warship engine was destroyed from the bottom of the sea, and the active drive engine was lost. The warship's bulky hull and sails could not provide much power at all.
At this time, Skyler also turned around and ordered, saying: "All detachments! Return to the warship and conduct pursuit operations!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes! Lieutenant General Skyler!"
In an instant, the port that was originally crowded with the navy suddenly became empty. Even the shemales of the Kamabaka Kingdom who were originally surrounded were ignored by no one at this time.
The CP was repairing the engine, while the navy was rushing towards the warship. For a moment, they looked left and right in a daze.
The other three pirate ships on the sea looked at each other in confusion at this time. Rayleigh, who probably guessed some of the inside story, scratched his head and said, "How about... let's find a place to reunite?"
As he said that, he looked back at the old guys behind him. At this time, several of them were injured, especially Sikal. His clothes were almost burned, and there were many burns and bruises on his body.
Spencer's condition was even worse than him. He had bullet scratches on his body and even two stab wounds. His face seemed a little frustrated. It seemed that the battle just now had a lot of impact on him.
But the overall condition was not bad. It was difficult to engage in a high-intensity battle, but... there was no problem in having a party to celebrate, and it seemed that the Straw Hats no longer needed their escort at this time, so they all nodded.
Rayleigh looked at the sub-ship of the Moby Dick and said, "Marco, where are you?"
Marco thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, we still have to go back, but you guys...be more careful."
Hearing this, Rayleigh did not persuade again, looked in the direction of the Nine Snakes Pirates, and asked: "Do you want to go back too?"
Hancock nodded, looked at the two snakes that could not keep up with the Sonny and had already returned, and said, "When Luffy arrives in the new world, you can send a letter to inform me."
After saying that, she waved her hand, and the snake returned to the pirate ship, pulling the pirate ship towards the direction of the windless zone, and the CP did not even make a move to stop it.
After all, it is the Navy's job to hunt down pirates, and since their warship is damaged and they have other goals, they will naturally not be distracted from paying attention to these pirates.
As for the Navy, it took them a lot of time to return to the warship. First, it was too far away, and Skyler also took the time to go to the Bubble Dome and brought Brooke, who was still thinking about life on the stage, back to the detachment. .
After returning to the warship, Skyler only directed Ace, Luo and Guina to lead the detachment to pursue them. As for the Zhanye detachment... there was still one person who had not returned to the team.
After the other three detachments left, a fat blue man broke through the sea and returned to the warship, but his expression was... very strange.
Jinbei's performance was impeccable both as a person and as a soldier, so for tasks like today, he could understand everything without Skyler having to explain anything.
Throughout the entire mission, Jinbe also showed his initiative and was able to do an excellent job without the need for anyone to direct or coordinate with him. Therefore, during today's mission, Skyler, Nurkic and others did not hand over to him. .
Therefore, his expression after coming back made both Skyler and Nurkic frown, because Jinbe had rarely shown such an expression.
The last time it was so complicated was during the war at the top, and the last time was when he had just joined the navy and the Zhanye detachment launched an operation against Fisher Tiger.
Precisely because he rarely showed this expression, Skyler and Nurkic felt something was wrong, and even had a hunch in their hearts that something big might have happened to him.
Skyler glanced at Nurkic. Even though it was night, and covered by sunglasses, most people couldn't look at Skyler's eyes and act.
But after all, Nurkic has been with Skyler for more than 20 years, and there is no problem with this tacit understanding, so he directly dispatched the detachment and returned to his original position.
Others, especially some veterans, realized something at this time, and quickly left the deck with some new recruits who were not familiar with the world.
When the deck was cleared, Jinbe came to Skyler and said, "Sir, I encountered something strange."
Skyler frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
At this time, Nurkic also returned after dispatching. Jinbe thought for a while and said: "I met Bartholomew Bear. He should have died in my hands."
After hearing the news, Skyler pursed his lips, and Nurkic was also a little stunned. After all, Jinbe had no motive to kill the bear, and with the bear's strength, it was almost impossible to be killed by Jinbe.
But Jinbei is not a big talker, nor does he talk nonsense, so this matter is very likely to be true.
Nurkic quickly asked: "Jinbei, what happened over there?"
Skyler also pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for both of them to sit down. After they nodded and sat down, Jinbei explained the whole thing.
From the moment he stopped Franky from leaving in the Sonny, to the sudden appearance of the bear to stop him, to the fight between the two, and the strange words the bear said to Franky, to finally, the bear died at the hands of Jinbe.
After the whole thing was told, even Nurkic opened his mouth slightly. It was difficult to understand the whole thing, but after he reacted, he still asked Skyler:
"Sir, do you need to hide this from others, especially...Bonnie?"
Skyler nodded and said: "You will take people to search for the bear's body later, and then bring it back. Just tell others that you are a pacifist, and don't let others know.
Then... I think we need to go find Vegapunk. The bear probably won't be able to explain this to us anymore. If we want to know the truth, we may have to go to Vegapunk. "
This thing is really weird, because Skyler knows how the original plot will develop. If the original plot develops according to the development, the bear should have died in the transformation experiment.
He only left the last order to guard the Sonny, and when the Straw Hats reunited two years later, they had completed their mission, and finally became a machine without consciousness, and even became a collection of the Celestial Dragons.
But according to what Jinbe said, when he fought the bear, the bear obviously still had a clear consciousness. Although his life was in danger and his body was almost completely transformed into a machine, he could think and have independent consciousness.
In Skyler's view, this proves that the bear's transformation experiment should actually be more successful than in the original plot, but... he chose to die on his own initiative.
Moreover, before he died, he left the words "Goodbye in the new world". There were too many things that Skyler couldn't figure out, and apart from the bear who Jinbe confirmed to be dead, only Vegapunk could possibly know about these doubts. .
Therefore...Skyler had to go to Vegapunk. At the same time, she was also going to Vegapunk. After all, Brooke's return would further advance the Charlotte Lingling resurrection plan. One step forward.
Two years ago, Xiong said that he would ask Vegapunk about soul matters, but in the past two years, he did not give any reply to Skyler or Katakuri.
These answers may be hidden in Vegapunk.
"Jinbei, don't think too much about it yet."
Skyler looked at Jinbei with a complex expression and said: "Perhaps Xiong's death was planned by him, perhaps he died in the hands of our Zhanye detachment, and perhaps he had his reasons.
Like...it's a sign, and I trust the bear, he never breaks his word. "
Jinbe reluctantly nodded. Although he couldn't let go, he still understood Skyler's words. No matter what the motive behind the bear's behavior was, no matter whether he really killed the bear, all of this needed an answer.
The answer to this cannot be obtained now, and must wait until Vegapunk comes to answer it.
"Then sir, I'm going back to rest first."
Jinbe pinched his soaked clothes. Skyler nodded and did not stop him. Jinbe stood up and walked towards the cabin. Skyler thought about it for a while and then said:
"By the way, is Brooke resting?"
"Not yet, I'll call him over."
Nurkic stood up and walked towards the cabin after Skyler nodded. Soon, Nurkic took Brook back to the deck.
Nurkic took the initiative to sit on the slightly damp seat that Jinbe had just sat on, leaving the clean seat to Brook, who seemed a little melancholy.
Although he no longer had any expression or eyes at this time, his emotions seemed to be conveyed directly from his soul.
"You seem reluctant to leave the stage?"
Skyler calmed down and asked with a smile. Brooke did not deny it and nodded directly.
Skyler squeezed the old bone on his shoulder, and then said: "Don't worry, at your age, it is easy to apply for retirement. If one day you feel that the Navy does not need you, or you do not need the Navy.
Well, you could always retire from the Navy and come back in music. "
Obviously, Brooke's inner melancholy was not so easy to resolve, and he just said: "I'm just worried that by that time, there will be no stage for me."
"Don't worry, you can outlast them. After all, not everyone can survive until they are left with only a pair of old bones and still come out to sing."
"Yo ho ho ho ho ~"
Hearing Skyler's bone joke, Brooke finally felt better. Seeing this, Skyler also asked: "By the way, have you found that way?"
Brooke's skull shook up and down and said, "Well, I'm ready at any time."
Hearing this, Skyler raised his eyelids. Finally, after the bad news, there was some good news that could comfort him.
"Don't forget this time. I don't know when I can start. Before then, you have to keep it in mind."
Skyler finished speaking with a smile, and Brooke also laughed. Then he scratched his afro, which contained a lot of colored paper and glitter, and said:
"Then I'll go back and rest first. If you're old and don't sleep well, your brain will easily lose track of things. No...I don't have a brain anymore, yo ho ho ho~"
Skyler nodded, and Brooke also left with a smile, but judging from his pace, it would probably take some time to return to the state of being a marine, and he still smiled with the pace of a superstar.
"Nurkic, please tell the headquarters that this time the mission requires Luo to go back and give a report. By the way, help me ask Mr. Yisheng to see if he wants to go back to the headquarters or come with us to see Vegapunk."
Skyler said to Nurkic, then stood up and said: "I have to go back and take a rest. Now I feel like I am hearing some things."
Being bombarded by speakers for several hours is quite painful for a person with excellent hearing, especially a person who doesn't love music very much.
While picking his ears, he walked towards the cabin and left all the remaining matters to the adjutant Nurkic.
Nurkic was used to it and had no complaints. He first contacted the headquarters and Luo, and then confirmed the news with Fujitora. After that, he did not report to Skyler and dispatched the ships independently.
When Skyler woke up the next day, the warship had entered the new world and was sailing towards the windless zone where Vegapunk's new laboratory was located.
After washing up, when Skyler came to the deck and was about to have breakfast, he found Fujitora still sitting on the deck, and knew that he planned to go over to meet Vegapunk.
Sitting in his seat, Skyler asked jokingly: "After meeting Bega Punk, you told him that you were here to ask for your past salary and asked to be paid according to the general's salary. You just Bega How would Punk react?”
Hearing Skyler's words, Fujitora smiled and said: "I guess Vegapunk is willing to pay generously. After all, they are all funded by the World Government. Of course, Vegapunk can definitely guess that the person below is being You ordered it."
"Since he is so generous...then when I defeated Kaido last time, can I also take the opportunity to ask for a protection fee?"
Hearing Skyler's words, Fujitora nodded angrily. In fact, he knew that Skyler was not short of money at all, and he didn't seem to value money very much.
Of course, during the time he was in the Zhanye Detachment, he often heard some veterans of the Zhanye Detachment say that when the Zhanye Detachment was first established, Skyler did crazy missions just to earn more military pay.
It's just that people change. Over the years, the Zhanye detachment has completed various tasks, killed and captured various pirates, and the rewards accumulated have probably been astronomical.
When there was no shortage of money, Skyler no longer valued money very much. At least after becoming a general, Fujitora learned the news that the Zanye detachment had not received the reward for leading the war.
Maybe it was because there was no shortage of money, maybe it was for the sake of the headquarters, or maybe it was for other reasons, but in short, Fujitora didn't think Skyler would really ask Dr. Vegapunk for a so-called protection fee.
Of course, these words are meaningless. Skyler is a very playful person, so Fujitora is willing to follow Skyler's mood and agree with some of her ideas of causing trouble.
After all, he, Fujitora, is not an old-fashioned person. If Fujitora was old-fashioned, he would not have used meteorites to wash the floor of Mariejoia.
Fujitora did not interrupt the conversation, which made Skyler very satisfied. The two of them talked about various unrealistic topics, and after a while, breakfasts were served one after another.
Fujitora didn't refuse Skyler's invitation to have a meal with him. After all, he could eat breakfast anywhere, and with his appetite, it wouldn't affect Skyler at all.
One more amount from him is not too much, and one amount less from him is not too much.
But after breakfast, the warship also sailed into the windless zone. Without the roar of the sea wind, the sound of the engine seemed to be amplified a lot, but fortunately this journey was not too far.
Before sailing into the windless zone, Newsbird just delivered a newspaper. Morgans kept his promise and did not mention what happened in the Shampoo Islands last night in today's newspaper.
Even the farewell concert of King of Soul Brooke was not mentioned. After all, Morgans did not want to give the Navy any excuse.
Reading the news, Skyler and Fujitora expressed their respective opinions, and soon the warship sailed into the harbor of Vegapunk's new experimental base.
If other warships had arrived, perhaps the Navy and World Government staff stationed at the base would have taken it seriously, but when the warships of the Zhanye detachment sailed into the port, everyone switched to smiles.
It's just that compared to the sincere smiles of the Marines, those of the World Government acted a bit flattering.
All the necessary procedures were directly postponed. They said that they could not delay the official business, so Skyler and others were allowed to enter the base, but Nurkic still offered to stay for the handover.
Skyler took Jinbei, Brooke, and Fujitora, and the four of them quickly arrived at the research room where Vegapunk was located.
There are many pacifists in the research room, but they are all in a semi-assembled state, and their numbers seem to be somewhat different.
Different from the previous times when Skyler met Vegapunk, Vegapunk seemed to be prepared this time. He did not let Skyler wait any longer, but waited for a few people early.
As soon as he sat down, Skyler showed no courtesy. After talking about yesterday's battle, he asked: "I came here, and I want to know the most news, that is, Bear, how is he?"
Skyler's straightforwardness did not make Vegapunk feel strange. In fact, he liked this method of communication. He thought for a moment, then looked at the pacifists behind him and said:
"If I said he was still alive... would you believe it?"
