The Black Prince of Pirates

"I heard that the Kingdom of Germa is a world-class technological power, second only to the future country of Balkimoa, the hometown of Dr. Vegapunk. Mr. Gaji, you and Dr. Vegapunk were once companions... ··In your opinion, what kind of person is Dr. Vegapunk?”

Elus brought up the opening topic.

Just this topic made Gaji's face stiffen, and a violent tsunami set off in his heart.

The fact that he and Vegapunk were involved in illegal research was a secret that even his children did not know. He knew how dangerous this secret was, and would lead to pursuit and even hunting by the World Government, so he was so He has kept this secret tightly for many years...

Why would the Black Prince know such a secret?

Could it be that any of his colleagues at that time escaped from the World Government like him and survived... Gaji's thoughts spread involuntarily, thinking about various possibilities. Unfortunately, he did not No clue.

"Where did you know about this, Your Highness Elus?" He tried his best to control the panic in his heart, so that his smile would not appear too stiff. The hypocritical mask had become his instinct. In front of strong people, he was used to greeting them with a smile.

"I have my own channel."

Eleus had no explanation and no need for explanation.

The corners of Gaji's eyes twitched and he did not continue to pursue the topic. He answered very intelligently: "Vegapunk is a genius, a real genius. When I was a boy, I thought that I was the protagonist of this era and was destined to revive the Germa Kingdom. A genius with great reputation, but after meeting Vegapunk, I understood what a real genius is, and I am not the protagonist of the era..."

At first, he was forced to answer Elus's question, but as he spoke, recalling the period of time that brought the greatest setbacks and turning points in his life, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and the complicated emotions that came up were even It all diluted some of the panic and anger in my heart.

"...Also, Vegapunk is obsessed with scientific research. In my opinion, at that time, Vegapunk was just keen on research and exploring unknown areas, and he was not interested in the results of research. I don’t think much of it...”

"...That's about it. To be honest, it's been almost 20 years, and I have no idea what Vegapunk looks like now."

Gaji squeezed out as much memory and knowledge about Bega Punk as possible.

"pretty good."

After listening to Gaji's narration, Eleus nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why Gaji was asked this question was not because he wanted to do something against Vegapunk. The World Government was very concerned about this baby, and now was not a good time to attack Vegapunk. The reason for asking this question was, The purpose is really simple, just to find a topic to warm up the situation.

By the way, give Gaji a shock.

So far, the effect is not bad.

Gaji's attitude became more respectful. Next to him, Reiju and Iji, the princess and prince of the Germa Kingdom remained silent, as quiet as stones, quietly watching their father deal with the Black Prince. And the natural cold and cruel temperament is well controlled.

As modified people, they lack some human emotions, but they are also born with various extraordinary qualities. Coupled with the hard training over the years, they still have a very keen sense of danger. In Elus' body, They felt mortally threatened.

The instinctive warning prevented them from doing anything out of the ordinary here.

Elus' eyes did not stay on Reiju and Iji for even a second. Compared with these two reformers, his interest was more in Iji, not to mention his personality. Regardless of his character, Gaji's talent in scientific research is very bright.

If only Gaji could be brought over to do research with Case... Elus couldn't help but think that neither Gaji nor Caesar was as perverted as Vegapunk, even if Even if the two of them combined, they would still be able to eat ashes behind Vegapunk.

but,

Both of these two people have considerable attainments in biotechnology. Together, they may have the effect of 1+1>2.

Thinking of this, Elus's eyes towards Gaji suddenly became a little fiery, causing His Majesty the King of the Germa Kingdom to twist his body uneasily, and there were danger alarms originating from intuition in his heart. However, He raised his head and looked at Elus for a second...

The invisible pressure that directly affected his soul made him sigh with despair.

He was already being targeted by the Black Prince, where could he escape to?It’s true that the Germa Kingdom is a mobile kingdom, but you can’t wander around all your life. The Black Prince is said to be only in his 20s, and it can survive him to death. He still has unfulfilled ambitions...

I can only pray that the Black Prince's malice won't be too overwhelming.

"I heard that you are very interested in the technology of artificial giant dragons, Mr. Gaji?" Elus suppressed the dangerous thoughts in his heart. Gaji is the king of the Germa Kingdom after all. It is not a good idea to directly kidnap a king. What a good idea, especially for a relatively special country like the Germa Kingdom. As the absolute overlord that once ruled the entire North Sea, the World Government has probably never relaxed its approach to countries and families that like to engage in local separatism.

It is not difficult to abduct Gaji. The problem is how to abduct Gaji without attracting the attention of the world government. In addition, using coercion may not make Gaji sincerely cooperate with Caesar in scientific research... for the time being. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be such a crude method.

Could be a little softer.

After ending the warm-up chat, Eleus went straight to the point.

Artificial dragon technology,

The intersection between the Kingdom of Germa and Elus was due to such a technology.

"Yes, I think this technology can bring me a lot of inspiration, and it may allow me to break through the current bottleneck of clone warriors." Gaji told the truth, speaking very slowly, carefully considering each sentence over and over again. Words that confirmed there were no problems were said one by one, "If possible, I hope to study related technologies."

"I want the artificial dragon technology..." Elus smiled, "Yes, as long as you can come up with an exchange condition that satisfies me, the artificial dragon technology can be given to you."

"Can devil fruit be used?"

Gaji asked.

He knew that powerful Devil Fruits could give people a huge increase in strength, but he was unwilling to give up the sea and become a landlubber who couldn't swim. Even if he collected good Devil Fruits, he never thought of taking them. He devoted himself to researching them and found them. Various scientific equipment comparable to Devil Fruits.

Although I have never actively collected them, in war after war, I always come up with some unexpected gains when searching for loot. Over the years, I have also saved six Devil Fruits, and I brought them all with me this time. , just to prepare for such a time.

"Six Devil Fruits, three Superman-type ones, three animal-type ones, I don't know..."

"not enough."

Eleus said bluntly.

Gaji's face trembled when he heard this, and the smile he tried to maintain seemed to be a bit broken. He had thought that Elus might be a lion, but this appetite was really too big. The devil fruit was at the lowest price. It is [-] million beli, but when it is sold on the market, it often doubles. With six devil fruits, it is not difficult to sell them for more than [-] billion...

"There is another condition attached." Elus added, "You can take the artificial dragon technology, but I hope that the Kingdom of Germa and the Kingdom of Exmundo will establish a scientific and technological cooperation relationship."

"Cooperation in science and technology?"

Gaji was stunned for a moment.

I thought it would be an even more excessive request, such as the cost of human cloning technology or human transformation technology... These technologies are the capital of the Germa Kingdom to control the North Sea. If the relevant secrets are leaked... ··He was worried about how to politely refuse Elus's excessive demands, but to his surprise, his worries seemed to be of no use at all.

"That's right. Our two countries can carry out academic exchanges in the field of science and technology, learn from each other's strengths, and make mutual progress." This statement is so high-sounding that there is nothing wrong with it. It's just... mutual progress. ?Gaji's face was a little twisted.

Before coming, he also conducted a thorough investigation of the situation in the Kingdom of Aikmundo.

The Kingdom of Ekmundo has only been established for more than 200 years. It is an agricultural country that relies entirely on the export of primary agricultural products such as coffee. It has no scientific and technological content at all. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about the development of science and technology. If the two countries really cooperate, it is purely The Kingdom of Exmundo uses Germa's strengths to make up for its own shortcomings.

Talking about mutual improvement is pure deception, not as useful as a piece of shit.

"It's my pleasure."

After Gao Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, he agreed immediately.

Elus smiled softly, with a bit of teasing and contempt in his eyes, as if he had seen through Gaji's worries, "I'm not such an unreasonable person. Dogs can jump over walls when they are anxious, and rabbits can do it when they are anxious." Bite people, there is no deep hatred between us that cannot be resolved, and driving Mr. Gaji to a dead end will not bring greater benefits to me."

"On the contrary, only cooperation can give us more possibilities in the future." Elus came casually and freely drew the pie of imagination. Well, it was not entirely a fantasy. "I understand it myself, The scientific and technological foundation of the Kingdom of Ekmundo is quite weak, so I naturally take advantage of the cooperation with the Kingdom of Germa, but... Mr. Gaji will not let you down in terms of cutting-edge technology."

This statement... seems like nonsense.

However, with the artificial dragon technology ahead, it does not mean that it is completely impossible. Judging from Elus's attitude, the mad scientist who is wanted by the World Government and the Navy is probably hidden in the hands of the Black Prince.

"Your Highness Elus, I look forward to in-depth exchanges with your country. Having someone to exchange science and technology with me is something I wish for."

Gaji said solemnly.

Resistance is destined to be impossible. Since you can't resist, it's better to accept it happily. And... to be honest, cooperation with the Black Prince is not necessarily a disadvantage. With the identity of the Black Prince's ally, you may be able to It's easier to convince those who don't follow.

After figuring this out, and knowing that Elvus didn't overly torture Germa, Gaji quickly accepted this reality and tried his best to adjust his mentality.

Eleus grinned, his smile extremely bright.

"very good."

He was very satisfied with Gaji's attitude.

It didn't take much effort to bring the Germa Kingdom over. Although the cooperation was only in limited areas, the most valuable thing of the Germa Kingdom was their science and technology, and after opening the door, it would naturally be possible to slowly Subtly drawing the Kingdom of Germa to its side.

"By the way, just research on artificial dragon technology. It's best not to sell it to others in the name of Germa." Elus reminded.

"What the Kingdom of Germa sells to the outside world is war."

Gaji laughed.

"And the artificial dragon is not a very reasonable weapon of war. I just hope to get some new ideas and inspiration from it. Therefore, the Kingdom of Germa will not interfere in the market of artificial dragons."

"..."

Eleus stared at Gaji for five seconds.

"I don't like to let my partners suffer." He lowered his eyebrows and seemed to think for a while, "I know Mr. Gaji that you have been working hard to restore the glory of the Germa Kingdom... If you don't If you dislike it, this meager nickname of Black Prince might be able to help you solve some troubles."

"...I am very grateful, Your Highness Elus, your help is exactly what I expected."

Gaji's voice was trembling with excitement.

The Black Prince... was able to borrow the Black Prince's reputation openly and honestly. This was a monster comparable to the Pirate Emperors. If he hadn't been concerned about his own position and worried about attracting a blow from the World Government, he would have always been afraid of it. Trying to use more powerful power to realize the desire to unify the North Sea.

He doesn't care whether he relies on his own strength to achieve this ambition. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will dare to reach out even with the power of the devil.

But there are world governments and navies hanging high in the sky like the blazing sun, threatening the four seas and the great shipping routes.

Hooking up with pirates at this time will only lead to destruction.

So no matter how much he longs for power, he has never contacted the Pirate Emperors of the New World. Until now... Elus has a power comparable to that of the Pirate Emperors, and he is also a member of the World Government. The prince, and also has the identity of the King Shichibukai...

Even the World Government can't accuse him of anything if he hooks up with Elus.

"It's best if you don't dislike nature."

"No, no, of course I won't dislike it. How could I dislike your helping hand!"

Gaji was so excited.

Just like the previous tense and troubled state, the seemingly unfortunate encounter finally brought unexpected and lucky results.

He is in a really good mood.

Elus also smiled happily. As long as Gaji dared to borrow his name to act in Beihai, it would be tantamount to actively tying himself to the chariot driven by Elus. In the future... ··I’m afraid I can only follow him until the dark side!

For a time,

The atmosphere in the reception room was exceptionally harmonious and pleasant.
