"Hello, Dr. Vegapunk. We finally meet."
Looking at the strongest scientist in the world, whose face was still filled with lingering terror after being forcibly brought before him, Allen immediately set down the small DYNA Rock sample in his hand and greeted him with a smile.
After examining the research materials that Lucci, Kalifa, and the other former CP9 members had brought back from the Marine Science Unit headquarters, he finally understood why the World Government valued this powerless man so highly that they had even assigned him two separate sets of bodyguards.
When the core members among them discovered that the intruders intended to abduct the world's greatest scientist, they immediately chose to kill to silence without hesitation.
If Lucci, a Resistance-Resistance Fruit user, had not been there, they would probably have brought back nothing but a corpse.
Setting aside everything else, the two fields of Life Blueprint and Bloodline Factor research alone had produced a whole series of concrete results, including Devil Fruit Weapons, Artificial Devil Fruits, Artificial Giant Creatures, human Gene Adjustment and Modification, PX-0 Pacifistas, and more.
Beyond that, there was also the technology that allowed Marine warships to cross the Calm Belt using Seastone, as well as High-Energy Bombs manufactured with DYNA Rock as their raw material.
It could be said that anything even remotely related to cutting-edge technology was basically inseparable from Vegapunk.
Whether it was Caesar Clown, who worked with Doflamingo to manufacture counterfeit Artificial Devil Fruits, or the Vinsmoke Family, who had conquered North Blue through military force, both were fundamentally built upon his research theories.
"You're... Sea Devil Allen! You're not dead?" Vegapunk's eyes widened in utter disbelief.
The special bomb detonated in Water 7 back then had been a Super Weapon personally designed and manufactured by him to eliminate Allen.
