One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons.

From the moment the first idea emerged from the brain of the first being, the so-called "science" was born.

It's a tool.

Just like the knives, swords, guns, or other things invented by people, they are exactly the same.

The beings who invented "science" cannot predict the direction of science.

What can science actually bring?

vitality? Or destruction?

No one knows.

But even so, many people are still confident that "science" will bring a bright future to the world.

Vegapunk is one of them.

His innate intelligence, coupled with his Devil Fruit abilities, made him the world's number one scientist.

In order to advance his own scientific research, Vegapunk established the Mads Research Organization and later joined the World Government.

He firmly believes that one day, "science" will resolve disputes between people and bring true peace to the world.

Is he right?

not necessarily.

Top scientists can meet their own "death", but they cannot predict "people's hearts".

In any case, Vegapunk never expected that the World Government would activate the "Mother Fire Pilot Work" so easily!

Vegapunk clearly knows how terrible the damage it will cause if the "Mother Fire Experimental Work" is used for offensive purposes.

An entire country—an entire island—would disappear in an instant!

In other words, once contaminated with human malice, the "Mother Fire" will turn into a destructive "energy" more terrifying than the Demon-Slaying Order!

But now, Vegapunk has learned through data monitoring that the World Government has used a "one-time" Motherfire trial work.

"..."

"Those...guys..."

Vegapunk gritted his teeth, slammed the monitor in his hand to the ground, and then looked back at everyone.

Looking at the blank eyes of everyone, Vegapunk stretched out two fingers and explained:

"Now we are facing two major crises!"

When everyone heard this, they quickly concentrated their attention.

Vegapunk continued:

"First, the energy warehouse of the ancient ship is empty, still 0%;"

"Second, the World Government has already used the 'Mother Fire Trial Work' once, and I don't doubt they will use the 'Second' one!"

"..."

When they heard what Vegapunk said, everyone immediately looked at each other.

so it is……

What do you mean?

To be honest, they didn't understand Vegapunk at all.

Seeing this, Vegapunk helplessly covered his face and repeated in the simplest words:

"Punk Hassad will most likely be destroyed, so if the ancient ship cannot move, we will all be killed by the World Government!"

Now everyone understood and began to think of solutions.

Daxiong, Rosinandi, Luo, and Tezzolo began to study the various facilities in the cab.

Robin activated the Flower Fruit ability and opened his "eyes" everywhere inside the ancient ship, looking for clues.

Uta closed her eyes and tried to listen to the melody of the ancient ship.

Crocodile turned to the side, facing the two marines Kizaru and Zhan Momomaru, and sneered:

"The world government doesn't care about your life or death? Hehehehe..."

Kizaru's expression did not change, while Zhan Momomaru frowned.

It was Uta who heard Zhan Taomaru's determination to "repay the favor" and couldn't bear to torment the people on his side, so he reminded him:

"The Admiral cannot be 'erased'!"

Zhan Taomaru: "..."

Zhan Taowan: "It makes sense."

If only he and the other marines were here, the World Government could easily wipe out Punk Hassad.

But if [Kizaru] Porusalino is added to the mix, then the World Government will have to reconsider.

After all, he is a "Admiral". Once something unexpected happens, it will definitely cause turmoil in the sea.

In other words, as long as Kizaru is still on Punk Hassad Island, the World Government will not easily launch a devastating attack on the island!

"Oh yo..."

When Kizaru heard this, he immediately understood and raised his hands helplessly: "Have I become a hostage? It's really scary..."

"Just do this old friend of mine a favor, Kizaru!"

Vegapunk sighed and reminded: "After all, the Five Old Stars haven't given the next order yet, right?"

This sentence can be regarded as a step forward for Kizaru.

If Vegapunk wants to break away from the World Government, the result will definitely be obliterated by the order of the Five Old Stars.

But as long as the order from the Five Old Stars has not arrived, Kizaru has no reason to take action against Vegapunk!

Reasonable!

"..."

Kizaru remained silent, acquiescing to Vegapunk's words.

On the other side, Crocodile did more than just mock the two navy.

The gravel on his body surged, and part of it had already left the ship's cabin and reached the outside world.

He's also mocking the two "Ewen Lindsays."

Looking at Lindsay who was fighting fiercely with A-3, Crocodile raised his eyebrows.

"Hehehehe, primitive man versus future technology?"

call!

The battle aroused a wave of anger, but Crocodile remained motionless.

Lindsay spoke in mid-air and corrected: "Wrong, it's ancient technology!"

Crocodile: "..."

Looking at Lindsay's grinning mouth, Crocodile understood that the primitive man was very happy in this fight.

This is inevitable.

Mysterious machinery, ancient technology, replicating robots, the combination of oneself and the sparkling fruit...

Everything is in line with Alvin Lindsay's "adventure aesthetics".

Therefore, Crocodile knew very well that if he didn't rush in, the primitive man's fight would definitely end!

"Solve it quickly, bigger trouble is coming!"

"OK……"

Lindsay kicked off No. A-3 in front of her and turned to respond to Crocodile.

But then, No. A-3 turned into a flashing heavy hammer and blasted Lindsay away from diagonally below.

boom!

No. a-3 returned to his true form, breathing heavily, but the smile on his face became more ferocious.

"I am the strongest one, do you understand? A bunch of bastards!"

"Hey, Sand Crocodile, you're the next one to be killed!"

"..."

Crocodile's face was calm and he didn't care about the ridicule.

He waved his hand gently and said: "Solve it as soon as possible."

"what?!"

A-3 was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the [Devil] diagonally above him, spreading his huge wings and swooping towards it.

Ode!

A flying kick, carrying the domineering look of ancient weapons.

A huge arrow of power penetrated diagonally.

Thunder attached to the whole body, accelerated the kick to the limit, and directly kicked No. A-3's face out of shape!

Zhongsu, Ximu, and Cursive Blue—three composite forms.

Super gravity lightning and flying kick!

Ode!

A-3 was kicked to the ground by Lindsay. The latter's pursuit followed and the two of them were submerged in the smoke.

boom!

Vaguely, I saw [Devil] stepping on number a-3, vibrating the wings behind it, and roared.

"Drink!"

Overlord color and domineering, explosive!

For a time, a strong will swept through the entire Punk Hassad.

Whether it was the people in the ancient ship, the other six Vegapunk clones, or the naval soldiers scattered outside, they all received a "message".

The domineering aura from [Devil]——

Escape from Punk Hassad!

It was an instinctive reaction, so the navy soldiers took action even without orders from their superiors.

Of course, before taking action, they still contacted Zhan Momomaru and Kizaru.

Of course, the two of them could not let the naval soldiers die, so Zhan Momomaru nodded in agreement: "We will find a way ourselves, and you can evacuate Punk Hassad as soon as possible!"

but……

What can the people in the ancient ship do?

"Can not be done!"

Vegapunk punched the console and frowned:

"The energy warehouse is empty, and there is no way for this ancient ship to start!"

Through Uta's singing fruit, Vegapunk's voice spread out, resounding throughout the core basement.

In response to Vegapunk, it was Lindsay's arrogant roar.

"Empty?"

"Then fill it up!"

boom!

Lindsay swung out his fist and hit A-3 in the face, sending it flying in the direction of the ancient ship.

A-3 could not stop its body at all, and was forced to retreat one after another, and was eventually punched into the hull of the ancient ship.

Lindsay rode on A-3, pounded it one after another, and forced A-3 into the ship's energy warehouse!

"I heard you were 100%?"

Lindsay grabbed the back of A-3's head, pressed its face against the inner wall of the energy chamber, and rubbed it hard to create sparks.

"How about it? Share some of the power among us!"
