Queen Terrified

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore! I'm going to kill him!"

Using the power of the Dream-Dream Fruit, they secretly hid inside the four Floating Battleship within the Dream Layer.

Kozuki Hiyori watched the situation on the monitor, gritting her teeth in anger. The monitor showed Queen and the current situation in the prison, and even the sounds could be transmitted completely.

"The Devil Fruit Ability Disruptor is not fully in place yet. If we use it now, there is a high chance that some unexpected situations will occur."

Stussy sipped her red wine Kozuki Hiyori, but seeing Kozuki Hiyori's almost furious look, she simply shrugged:

"Oh dear, I just can't do anything with you. Here's what we'll do: as long as you get the boss's order, you can go and take action directly!"

"Okay, I'll go find him right now!"

Kozuki Hiyori gritted her teeth, turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out, but her pace slowed down as she went.

Because she suddenly remembered something: it seemed that her mother, Kozuki Toki, was currently serving Vegapunk as a maid!

After that awkward night, she and her mother never saw each other again. Even this time, on the Floating Battleship, she kept avoiding Kozuki Toki, not knowing what to say when they met.

Should I ask Mother if she's feeling well? Kozuki Hiyori felt she didn't have that kind of thick skin!

"Never mind!! In this situation, why think about anything else!"

Stomping her foot, Kozuki Hiyori made up her mind to speed up and arrived at Vegapunk's door without hesitation, pushing the door open and walking in.

"Ah... Hi... Hiyori!"

Inside the room, Kozuki Toki, her face flushed, quickly straightened her kimono, pulling up the fabric that had slipped off her shoulders to cover her chest.

Vegapunk withdrew his mischievous hands, Kozuki Hiyori, and asked with some curiosity:

What are you doing here?

Kozuki Hiyori had been avoiding Kozuki Toki at first, so what happened that made her suddenly come looking for her?

Kozuki Hiyori's face was also burning red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not expecting to see another embarrassing scene as soon as she came over.

"Um... um..."

After a brief moment of blankness, Kozuki Hiyori quickly recovered and hurriedly said:

"Lord Vegapunk, I need to go to the Beasts Pirates to rescue someone!"

"Save people? Save whom?"

Vegapunk asked a question, and without waiting for Kozuki Hiyori's reply, he casually waved his hand and activated his Electromagnetic Ability. Immediately, a large amount of computer data flooded into his Quantum Chip.

"I see... Queen hasn't improved at all after all these years!"

Having learned everything from the electronic records, Vegapunk shrugged helplessly and looked at Kozuki Hiyori:

"Alright, I'll go with you. I also want to see my old friend Queen!"

"Anyway, the internal debugging of the four Floating Battleship has been completed, and the Chakra Sealing Array can be set up. In addition, the internal Sea Stone Factor radiation device has also been basically activated. All that's left is the debugging process!"

"Oh, right, make sure you have your equipment ready!"

Vegapunk took a Collar- like device from his hand and handed it to Kozuki Hiyori:

"Wearing this around your neck can protect you from the radiation of Sea Stone Factor and prevent accidental injury!"

"Uh... sir, are there no other forms of devices?"

Looking at the Collar in her hand, Kozuki Hiyori asked a somewhat embarrassed question, to which Vegapunk shrugged:

"Yes! For example, this ring on my hand. However, all these devices require DNA testing before they can be used, so you can only use the one on your hand!"

So this guy did it on purpose! Kozuki Hiyori glared at Vegapunk angrily, but there was nothing she could do but put the Collar around her neck.

Seeing that Kozuki Hiyori was about to leave with Vegapunk, Kozuki Toki, who was standing behind her, finally couldn't help but say something hesitantly.

"Lord Vegapunk... and Hiyori, you two better watch out!"

"Don't worry, it's just the Beasts Pirates! Besides, we're not even facing Kaido right now. I'm just going to catch up with some old friends!"

Vegapunk waved his hand, while Kozuki Hiyori simply lowered her head, blushed, and hummed in agreement before leaving with Vegapunk.

As Kozuki Hiyori left, Kozuki Toki breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression between his brows relaxed slightly.

In Kozuki Toki's heart, she had always been afraid of Kozuki Hiyori's opinion of her, but now it seems that it is not too bad.

However, thinking of this, Kozuki Toki. In this situation, what choice did she and her daughter have?

In the dungeon, half of Tama's body had turned grayish-white. She lay on the ground, her face contorted in pain and struggle.

"Heh, the toxin should be entering her brain by now, right? Soon she'll become a source of viral infection, rampaging and tearing apart her own flesh!"

"If you don't join the Beasts Pirates, your fellow pirates will suffer the same fate!"

Upon hearing Queen's piercing voice, Ace's tightly clenched hands bled, but his eyes held a hint of despair.

"You bastard, what kind of skill do you have to poison a little girl?!"

"You bastard, Ace, don't listen to him! We'd rather die than let you join this kind of scum!"

"Go ahead and kill us all if you dare! Even in Hell, we'll curse you, Beasts Pirates! The prophecy is about to end! Your days in Wano Country are numbered!"

Listening to the roars of the villagers and the Spades Pirates, Queen picked at his ear, seemingly unconcerned.

"We, the Beasts Pirates, aren't after you. What are you yelling about? Ace, have you thought this through?!"

"I..."

Seeing Ace covered in sweat and struggling, even Yamato didn't say anything more. In this situation, no matter what choice Ace made, it would be like Hell for him!

"Honestly, after all this time, you're still as useless as ever, Queen!"

A faint voice sounded behind Queen. Queen, who hadn't sensed anything, was startled and immediately turned around, only to see two figures appear behind him as if in a dream, solidifying from nothingness.

A handsome Blond Boy and a beautiful green-haired girl appeared in this prison at the same time.

Tilting his head, Queen looked at the beautiful girl with a look of infatuation, completely forgetting the fright he had just experienced:

"You're so beautiful, miss! Please give me a chance to pursue you!"

A few black lines appeared on Vegapunk's forehead. This guy is still as unreliable as ever.

Kozuki Hiyori's face was even colder. "No! Get out! Fat pig!"

After clicking the triple tap, Queen, who had been completely mesmerized, clutched his chest, his entire body turning almost ashen.

"I'm not fat, I just maintain a fuller figure to avoid being too popular..."

At this moment, Vegapunk had bypassed Queen and arrived at Tama's side, whose eyes had rolled back and who was spitting black blood.

"You idiot, after all these years, this is all you've come up with?"

"Who are you, brat! How dare you criticize my invention!"

Just moments ago, Queen was feeling dejected, but now, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, he asked a question. Vegapunk simply reached out and grabbed a test tube of blue liquid, which appeared in the air.

"This should be the right antidote! It's slow to kill, the only way it spreads is through biting, and most importantly, the antidote still uses your Ice Demon Drug, so removing the poison is incredibly easy!"

"The only advantage is that even after the detoxification, it can easily cause permanent damage... However, it is also very easy to repair. I really don't understand why you created this kind of potion?"

As he spoke, Vegapunk did not inject the potion directly into Tama's body. He simply opened the stopper of the blue potion, placed it under Tama's nose, and let her smell it.

In an instant, the grayish-white dead spots on Tama's body stopped spreading and then began to transform into a healthy rosy skin color. In just a few seconds, the little girl, whose eyes had rolled back and whose breath was weak, had completely recovered.

"How is this possible?! You, you, who are you?"

Queen had just felt that Vegapunk's criticism sounded familiar, when he saw Vegapunk easily heal Tama, and even the so-called aftereffects completely disappeared.

Seeing this, Queen's eyes widened into Toad shapes, bulging several centimeters out. His jaw practically dropped to his ankles!

Queen wasn't really surprised that the virus could be cured. Although his virus seemed quite powerful, the medical skills in the Pirate World were also incredibly advanced. In other worlds, it would be considered cutting-edge technology, so there was nothing wrong with curing it.

The even more perverse Ice Demon Virus allowed a certain Emergency Food of food worth 100 Beli to create an antitoxin serum in just over ten minutes. If the other party already had knowledge of this, it is not surprising that they could create a universal antitoxin serum.

However, the other party not only produced antitoxin, but also cured the various physical damages caused by the virus!

To be precise, it was the process of breaking down the virus's nutrients and then replenishing them into the flesh and blood, which allowed the originally injured body to fully recover. This level of recovery was almost beyond Queen's imagination!

Coupled with Vegapunk's blunt words at the beginning, Queen suddenly had a bad feeling. The figure of the Blond Boy in front of him seemed to overlap with that of a certain big-headed scientific genius.

"No, no, no, how could that be? Vegapunk is uglier than me, so turning into a blond pretty boy is completely impossible!"

Queen shook his head and muttered to himself, unaware that Kozuki Hiyori, who had been standing beside him with a look of indignation and disgust, had changed his expression after hearing Quinn's mutterings. His expression turned gloating, even with a hint of pity.

Vegapunk isn't exactly a magnanimous person... or maybe he's alright in other aspects, but when it comes to appearances, he's very sensitive because of past traumas.

If we really anger Vegapunk, his methods of tormenting people are far more terrifying than Queen's bio-virus!

Sure enough, Vegapunk's expression seemed unchanged, and his smile was even brighter, but the eerie feeling he gave many people present goosebumps.

"Queen, you bastard, you're still as unlikeable as ever! Back then, you and those two idiots, Judge Caesar, stole my research and ran away. I spared you three because you were my assistants for so many years, and now you're actually talking about what I used to look like!"

"Vegapunk... Vegapunk!! It really is you!! You... you really didn't die!"

This time, Queen was so frightened that his eyes popped out of his head, and he was scared out of his wits!

As a transmigrator, Vegapunk is not like the Vegapunk in the original work, who is an innocent and upright scientist who doesn't even want to research weapons.

On the contrary, as an ambitious mad scientist, Vegapunk had his three assistants completely under his control, both in terms of intelligence and methods, to the point that the three of them felt a bit desperate about Vegapunk, otherwise they would not have run away directly.

While Vegapunk did experiment on them, intending to brainwash them into tools, otherwise these three wouldn't have dared to make the decision to escape so readily...

But having suffered such a great loss, they only dared to run away and not to fight back directly, which shows how afraid they were of Vegapunk!

Queen, realizing what was happening, didn't say a word and simply waved his hand:

"They actually dared to come to the prison to rescue prisoners! Men, arrest them right now!"

While saying this, Queen himself retreated step by step. Queen already knew Vegapunk's modus operandi and knew very well that now that he had come face to face with Vegapunk, it was about time to become the general.

Should I change bosses? Kaido a bit weak against Vegapunk... Although Kaido could easily kill a big-headed doll with one punch in a fight, if Vegapunk is prepared, even Kaido might not be able to withstand it!

Queen inwardly groaned. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that a Marine Admiral died when the Navy besieged Vegapunk eight years ago was enough to prove that Vegapunk possessed technological weapons capable of taking down the Four Emperors Three Admirals.

Now, another eight years have passed, and who knows what kind of technological advancements this guy has made? He really doesn't think the Beasts Pirates have a good chance of winning.

However, the ordinary grunts of the Beasts Pirates were unaware of this. Upon hearing Queen's words, they immediately charged forward without a word. Vegapunk rolled his eyes and patted Kozuki Hiyori on the shoulder:

"It's up to you!"
