The World Government's Trouble

"These clones created by the World Government will probably cause the Revolutionary Army a lot of trouble!"

Stussy slowly moved closer to Vegapunk and asked softly.

Vegapunk shook his head slightly and gave a cold laugh:

"Trouble? I'm afraid it will become trouble for the World Government itself! Do you really think there are no backdoors in the technology I provided?"

The Vegapunk of today is not the naive scientist from the original story; he naturally installed many backdoors in the technology he gave to the World Government.

The so-called perfect clones created at the beginning were not because Vegapunk was a perfectionist, but because he knew very well that the World Government would not use such clones.

It's not easy to go a step further than perfect clones, but it's much easier to degrade the technology and create mindless clones. Vegapunk had long considered the World Government's possible actions, so Vegapunk had also incorporated a lot of underhanded tactics into those technologies.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the World Government is currently creating mindless, seemingly mechanical clones. If Vegapunk wanted to, he could instantly turn those clones into indiscriminate, berserk monsters!

"Those World Government are really audacious, daring to directly produce clones in Mary Geoise!"

"Stussy, now that you've got the status, you should be able to go to Mary Geoise, right? When you go to Mary Geoise someday, just drop this medicine bottle over for me."

Vegapunk casually pulled out a test tube, seemingly prepared in advance, causing Stussy's lips to twitch slightly.

"Doctor, you must have dug this trap a long time ago, right? You anticipated the World Government's intentions?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I just created corresponding backup plans for all the technologies I provided to the World Government! This is called being prepared for any eventuality."

"Ugh... Isn't this even more ruthless?! The World Government is incredibly unlucky to have run into you!"

Vegapunk rolled his eyes, glanced at Stussy, and seeing her pitiful, innocent look, couldn't help but gently tap her on the head.

"Who are you calling heartless? If we're talking about heartlessness, Stussy, you're number one!"

Although Stussy is Vegapunk's loyal subordinate, if her personality were categorized according to the standard nine-square grid, she would definitely belong to the Order of Evil, at most leaning more towards Order Neutrality.

This is still due to Vegapunk's influence; without any constraints, Stussy would definitely be a member of the chaotic evil faction.

Stussy chuckled and licked his lips, offering no objection, but instead spoke directly:

"Yes, Doctor makes a lot of sense! I'm not exactly a good woman, so I fully support Doctor's plan!"

"By the way, Dr. Vegapunk, does this medicine work immediately upon evaporation? How long does it take for it to take effect?"

"Don't worry, you just need to sprinkle the drug anywhere. Actually, it's not a real drug, but some Nanoparticles. This degraded clone must have some mechanical structure in its body for better control."

"I remember I once gave the World Government some research on Electronic Brain. Judging from the mediocre scientists under the World Government, the final result will probably be a patchwork method that uses Electronic Brain to replace human brains!"

"I doubt that the scientists from these World Government could have imagined that things called hackers and electronic viruses exist in this world!"

In the world of Pirate King, although robots with their own personalities have been created, their research on computers is quite lagging behind. These robots with their own personalities are not the same as Artificial Intelligence; they can be considered a completely different technological path.

The Electronic Brain left behind by Vegapunk is, even if it can't be called a divine book, a mystery to scientists in the Pirate World. Over the years, they've only been able to scratch the surface of it. This stitched-together contraption is utterly powerless against Vegapunk's Nano-Electronic Virus.

"As for when they'll take effect... well, they'll take effect automatically whenever I want them to, without affecting you!"

After hearing Vegapunk's words, Stussy chuckled:

"Don't worry, I have a lot of confidence in your invention, Doctor! But... should we add a little something more to the World Government's invention?"

"Add some ingredients, what do you mean?"

"For example, my World Government spies within Umbrella Corporation discovered a large amount of Androids resources, as well as some weapons to enhance the Androids' combat capabilities..."

"Given the World Government's current situation, they'll definitely ramp up the production of clones! Coupled with all sorts of advanced weapons, I think Mary Geoise will become even more lively!"

"As expected of Stussy, then let's do it your way!"

"Don't worry, Doctor! Leave it to me!"

In just a few days, Stussy, as the head of the World Government's intelligence agency, easily left Vegapunk's Nano-Electronic Virus in Mary Geoise.

These nanoparticles quickly spread throughout Mary Geoise and entered the Electronic Brain of the clones. They soon left direct manipulation signal ports in the Electronic Brain of the clones by constantly replicating themselves.

After that, Stussy quickly left Mary Geoise, and when the production of Whitebeard Clone in Mary Geoise was almost complete, Vegapunk immediately instigated a riot among all the Whitebeard Clone!

Compared to the large-scale, destructive weapons and techniques that Vegapunk used last time, this time it was just a riot of more than 1,000 clones who were close to the level of Marine Vice Admiral, but it brought greater destruction to the entire Holy Land Mary Geoise!

The Celestial Dragons suffered heavy casualties, and the guards protecting Mary Geoise were almost completely wiped out. Even the Five Elders were in a sorry state. It was on this occasion that the so-called God's Knights truly took action and barely managed to drive away those Whitebeard Clones.

Yes, not kill them all, but drive them away. You should know that Whitebeard's clones were originally at the level of veteran Vice Admiral, and could even use Awakening- level Armament Haki.

After receiving the enhanced technology from Umbrella Corporation, it became even more powerful. To put it bluntly, most veteran Marine Vice Admiral would be virtually guaranteed to lose against this mass-produced Whitebeard Clone.

What does it mean to have over a thousand veteran vice admirals? The entire navy probably only has thirty or forty strong individuals of that caliber! If over a thousand people attacked together, even sea emperors like Kaido, Charlotte, and Linlin, or even Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Marine hero Garp would tremble at the sight and turn tail and run!

There's a saying that quantity is almost meaningless in the face of true strength—but that's only true if the difference in quality is too great!

If it were an elite Marine Vice Admiral, they could hold their own against these top-tier naval fighters. If thousands of such powerful individuals joined forces, even naval heroes, Sea Emperor, and Pirate King wouldn't be able to withstand them!

Fortunately, these crazed clones were not very intelligent and their methods were too simplistic, so they were thrown out by a God's Knights who had control abilities and another who had spatial abilities.

They weren't thrown into some place below the Red Line, but rather into some unknown corner of the ocean... Don't be fooled by the large number of over 1,000 Whitebeard Clone; scattered across the entire ocean, they are merely a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, over 90% of this world is ocean. If Whitebeard's clone fell into the sea, even if he wasn't Devil Fruit User, he would probably drown.

After all, according to Baccarat, the Devil Fruit User, compared to those meticulously crafted clones, these mass-produced clones have almost no luck. Unlike some cockroaches who possess incredible good fortune, their chances of being rescued after falling into the sea are extremely low.

However, due to the large number of Whitebeard Clone, nearly a hundred Whitebeard Clone have appeared in many places, including one that appeared directly in Wano Country.

"So, what does it have to do with me that a Whitebeard clone has appeared in Wano Country? Don't tell me you can't even handle something like this!"

In the Flower Capital of Wano Country, Vegapunk, reclining in the arms of the current Shogun of Wano Country, Kozuki Hiyori, yawned and asked...

With a slight blush on her face, Kozuki Hiyori gently massaged Vegapunk's shoulders, while another beauty who looked very similar to Kozuki Hiyori, only a bit more mature, was massaging Vegapunk's legs.

Opposite Vegapunk is Yamato, who has now Awakening the Azure Dragon Fruit and replaced his Pops as the Guardian Deity Yamato Wano Country.

At this moment, this user of the Fantasy Devil Fruit, who was less like a blue dragon and more like a silly husky, was scratching his head with a slightly goofy smile and said:

"But no matter what, he's Ace and Marco's Pops! It wouldn't be right to just kill him outright!"

"Oh, right, Dr. Vegapunk, you don't know who Marco is, do you?! He's Whitebeard's son, and after Ace left Wano Country..."

"No need, I know who Marco is, but they're in Wano Country now? How did they get here?"

Yamato and filled with righteous indignation, declared, "That's all because of that damned World Government..."

There's not much to say. After the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, Marco and Ace were also hunted by the World Government. Now that the Whitebeard Pirates no longer have their backs, many pirates in the New World are also eager to take advantage of them.

Although they were not threatened thanks to their strength, they were constantly being pursued and had no chance to rest. Ace then thought of Wano Country, the place where he had trained.

After Ace trained in Wano Country, his strength really improved a lot. He could even hold his own against Whitebeard for half an hour.

That's why, in reality, Whitebeard hadn't completely subdued Ace yet. However, after many battles, Ace did develop a deep affection for Whitebeard.

So when the World Government Whitebeard Pirates, Ace, who was on Whitebeard's ship at the time, helped them without Whitebeard Pirates. However, although Ace's strength improved considerably, he was only close to Marco's level at best, and ultimately it was still insignificant to the overall situation.

However, because Whitebeard risked his life to cover Ace's retreat, Ace eventually acknowledged Whitebeard as his Pops and joined the Whitebeard Pirates. So when he realized that he was surrounded by enemies on the high seas, he immediately took Marco to Wano Country.

Others may not know, but Ace understands very well that Wano Country under Vegapunk's control would be absolutely crushed in terms of conventional combat power, even if the Navy and the World Government were combined!

However, whether it was due to luck or something else, as soon as Ace and Marco arrived in Wano Country, a clone of Whitebeard was thrown there by Space Power!

After leaving Mary Geoise, Whitebeard's clone, though no longer having any targets, remained in a rather berserk state, occasionally wreaking havoc on villages.

Naturally, this Whitebeard clone was quickly discovered by the people of Wano Country. After hearing the news, Ace and Marco rushed over and saw that it was exactly the same as their Pops.

Although they knew this thing was definitely not their Pops, Ace and Marco couldn't bring themselves to kill it because it looked exactly like their Pops, so they could only capture the clone of Whitebeard first.

Marco might be completely baffled by Whitebeard's clone, but Ace, who had previously crossed paths with Vegapunk, made a strong connection and quickly went to his friend Yamato, asking her to contact Dr. Vegapunk.

This is Yamato why Yamato threw a tantrum and finally managed to drag Vegapunk off Dream Star.

"Those Whitebeard clones were all created by the World Government. The real Whitebeard is long dead. Even if you come looking for me, it won't make any difference!"

"Uh... I know! I didn't mean for you to revive Whitebeard!"

"So what do you want from me? Or rather, what is Ace thinking?"

Vegapunk said lazily, gently turning his head to feel the softness and firmness of the fleshy pads behind him, and slightly narrowed his eyes.

Kozuki Hiyori, who was massaging Vegapunk, had a flushed face and shifted her body slightly to make Vegapunk more comfortable.

While Vegapunk was Kozuki Toki Vegapunk's legs, she gently removed his shoes, cupped the soles of his feet, and began to massage them slowly.
