People in One Piece Four Emperors are clones

Chapter 292 Promotion
Although he has been to this place many times, it was the first time for Karna to meet the five old stars alone.

Take Vegapunk all the way into the power of Wulaoxing, Wulaoxing has been waiting for a long time.

"I've known you for a long time, Dr. Vegapunk!"

Today's protagonist, of course, is Vegapunk, and the blond Wu Laoxing spoke first.

Facing the peak of the world's power, Vegapunk's attitude has not changed at all, as if five ordinary middle-aged men are in front of him.

"I'm Vegapunk, you are five old stars, right? If you bring me back this time, will there be enough research funding?"

Vegapunk directly ignored the five old stars' overtures, and pointedly raised the most concerned issue.

In other words, this man knows his own worth, so there is no need to play those vain things.

"When I came here, Karna told me that the government can meet all my needs." Vegapunk pointed to Karna next to him.

"That's natural. Brigadier General Karna left on behalf of the government's will," said the bald Wulaoxing holding a long sword, with a smile on his lips.

"As the chief scientist of the future world government, it is natural to have as much funding as you want, and what we respect most are talents like you, doctor."

"Then it's no problem. Is my laboratory ready? I couldn't get a lot of advanced equipment from the Golden Lion before. I still have a lot of ideas that I haven't tested yet."

Vegapunk changed his composure on the warship before, and asked impatiently.

"Of course," the bald Wulaoxing said with a smile, "before you came back, we had already built the world's top laboratory for you."

"All the instruments in it are the top-notch that current technology can achieve, and there are some instruments that will never be circulated outside, which will definitely satisfy you, Doctor."

Karna's heart was moved when he heard it, it seemed that the government had long coveted Vegapunk.

"Really? Then I'm fine!"

Vegapunk shrugged, not caring about his personal freedom at all.

For him, as long as there are sufficient funds for his research, whether he will be imprisoned is completely out of his consideration.

Countless ideas are bursting out in his mind, all kinds of whimsical ideas are waiting for him to experiment, who has the time to run outside.

Vegapunk is a standard otaku.

Let the CP people lead Vegapunk to visit the new laboratory, and after watching Vegapunk walk out of the power room, the five old stars turned their attention to Karna again.

"Karna, you are very good, you have not let us down, this task has been completed very beautifully!"

The bald Wu Laoxing holding a sword stared at Karna gently, and said approvingly.

I don't know if it's all because of being swordsmen, the bald five old stars have always had a gentle attitude towards Karna.

After Karna completed the tasks beautifully and neatly several times, his appreciation was even more undisguised.

"I dare not do it, I just did my job." Karna said modestly.

"Don't be humble, Karna, see through the conspiracy of the Bounty Guild, kill Lorencio, kill Solas under the Golden Lion, rescue Dr. Vegapunk, smash the conspiracy of the Golden Lion and the Bounty Guild, The piles are all great credit."

The bald Wu Laoxing waved his hand, signaling Karna not to be overly modest.

"The government has always rewarded meritorious ministers generously. In view of your previous performance in the New World and your recent achievements, it's time to change your rank!"

"Your lieutenant general, haha, this is also the first one in the navy for so many years!"

The bald-headed five old stars laughed, and immediately raised Karna's military rank by two ranks while talking and laughing.

"Lieutenant General?!"

Karna was a little surprised, he never expected that Wu Laoxing would directly promote his military rank to lieutenant general.

"Your Excellency Wu Laoxing, isn't the position of lieutenant general too high?" Karna asked with a tall and straight body, but lowered his head slightly.

The blond-haired five old stars took over and said: "Your lieutenant general, you are indeed a little younger, but your strength and achievements are real, so there is no need to worry about it. The government will not treat meritorious officials badly."

"This matter, it's settled like this, Konghe Sengoku will hold an award ceremony for you later!"

The bald five old stars directly made a decision, and Karna could not refuse.

In this way, at the beginning of 1496 in the Haiyuan calendar, the young Karna was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and became the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the navy!

Navy, shake it up!
When Karna and Vegapunk returned to Marie Gioia.

A new world, a windless belt, an unnamed empty island at an altitude of a thousand meters.

"Boom boom boom!"

A gigantic, terrifying slash roared and wiped the entire experimental base to the ground, and even the entire island was cut off by a third under this terrifying blow.

In a series of big explosions, the entire island was almost destroyed.

The island that was pinned down by a sword fell slowly and firmly towards the sea, almost suffocating a sea king whose head was just exposed on the edge of the windless belt.

"Damn, hate, hate, how did the damn navy find this place!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The ones who destroyed the island with a single sword were the Golden Lion and Saiyan who arrived at the fastest speed after receiving the news!
Seeing that the entire base was breached, Solas died in battle, and all the pirates under his command were killed and injured. Most importantly, the Golden Lion was cited as the ultimate weapon to dominate the world, and Dr. Vegapunk was also snatched away by the navy.

A series of deeds almost drove the golden lion crazy!
Saiyan next to him also had an extremely ugly face!
The matter of Lorencio was already the highest loss of the bounty guild over the years, and the disappearance of Vegapunk was the last thing he wanted to see.

After years of planning, it seemed that the plan was about to be realized bit by bit. As a result, before the dawn of victory, there were fatal omissions.

The disappearance of Vegapunk means that over the years, Golden Lion's secret weapon to dominate the sea, the man-made devil fruit project, has been stranded.

Even this technology will eventually fall into the hands of the world government.

This is also the last thing the bounty guild wants to see.

"Didn't you say that no one will find this place?" Saiyan asked the golden lion angrily.

Seeing that Saiyan dared to speak to him in such a harsh tone, the golden lion's face flashed with anger.

As the overlord of the sea, how long has no one dared to speak to himself like this.

But this time it was really his own fault, the golden lion suppressed his anger, and said to Saiyan: "On my side, Solas knows about Vegapunk, and this island is only allowed to enter and not to leave, except Solas Apart from the ability to fly, no one else can go down."

The implication is that the person who leaked the news to the navy was definitely not one of his own. After all, Solas was also dead, so he couldn't have done it.

"Could it be that you made a mistake?" Golden Lion asked back.

"There are only a few people who know about our relationship and Vegapunk, and if Lorencio betrays us, he won't die. It can't be him!"

Saiyan shook his head, denying the Golden Lion's speculation.
