On the other hand, on the secret experimental island where Vegapunk was located.
The World Government personnel and naval crew members responsible for the guard suddenly discovered an extremely urgent and dangerous situation.
Using a detection device developed by Vegapunk in his early years that could detect the nearby sky and ocean, they discovered that three life forms were rapidly approaching the island from the air.
They immediately reported this information to the relevant person in charge, Admiral Borsalino!
The instant that Kuma and Kuma landed in front of Vegapunk's laboratory, a beam of light appeared from an unknown distance and instantly appeared in front of Vegapunk!
After the light converged, Borsalino sighed helplessly.
"Kuma, Yixiao, Ashi..."
Could you guys give Saint Gawain some advice? Even if they are his people, they shouldn't just rush into such dangerous places.
I was lying comfortably on the sofa when I was suddenly moved around.
Do you know how much this hurt me?
As soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino pulled out his Den Den Mushi.
He picked up the Den Den Mushi and waved it repeatedly at Kuma and Ichisho.
"Look at this, aha, what is this? It's Den Den Mushi!"
So let's swap the Den Den Mushi's numbers, so my Den Den Mushi doesn't have to rest every day!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino, looking utterly helpless, exchanged numbers with the two of them.
After putting the Den Den Mushi back in his pocket, Borsalino looked at Enel, who was being held by Kuma, and asked with a lewd expression.
"Is he here to trade Devil Fruit again? This guy seems pretty arrogant, but he doesn't seem to have a bounty on his head. What good Devil Fruit could someone like that possibly have?"
Hearing Kizaru's question, Ichisho gently shook his head.
"Mr. Borsalino, it's best not to ask questions you shouldn't!"
"Haha, Mr. Yixiao is very serious, but actually, I even observe Vegapunk when he's working."
Therefore, I would always know his identity. Asking now is really just a casual inquiry.
By the way, please come in, everyone.
While responding, Kizaru led the two into the experimental base.
On the way, Ichisho pondered Kizaru's words; what he said was indeed true.
The news of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit couldn't be kept secret, since Vegapunk had been under constant surveillance by the World Government.
After thinking it over, he nodded slightly.
"Borsalino, I hope you will join us in protecting this Devil Fruit transfer operation and this Devil Fruit!"
"If this Devil Fruit is lost, Gawain Gawain's attitude will definitely not be as kind as it used to be!"
"Yes, I thought of that too. Devil Fruit wasn't very important."
Especially since you two are people who have already tasted the fruits of Devil Fruit.
So, haha, even Gawain's own subordinates who had never tasted Devil Fruit before were not at ease with this Devil Fruit!
What kind of Devil Fruit is this? My curiosity is practically bursting out of my head! Haha!
As he spoke, Kizaru put his hands in his pockets and looked at the unconscious Enel with a lewd expression, waiting for a smile in response.
Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Yixiao gave a soft hum.
"Admiral Kizaru, the Lord isn't the kind of person who doesn't trust his comrades. The only reason he sent us is because we are the fastest!"
"Yes, yes, I also believe that Gawain is the kind of person who is so simple-minded that he can trust everyone. He would never do anything with any hidden meaning, right?"
So let's talk about this Devil Fruit. What kind of legendary Devil Fruit is it?
While teasing him, Kizaru curiously poked at the small drum on Enel's back, Kizaru smiled slightly as he looked at the part of the drum embedded in the flesh.
"Hey hey hey, this thing actually burrowed perfectly into the flesh, without even leaving a scar."
So, is this a Logia?
Or perhaps this person possesses the legendary Op-Op Fruit, worth a staggering 10 billion Beli?
If it's the latter, then I can understand why Gawain was nervous, haha!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru licked his lips. The Op-Op Fruit, a legendary Devil Fruit that will forever be ranked number one on the Navy's kill list.
However, in recent years, it seems that the Devil Fruit has been suppressed by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, alas...
As Kizaru pondered, Issho pursed his lips and whispered.
"No need to guess anymore, Admiral Kizaru. Since you'll be participating in the experiment, I might as well tell you."
This is an important Devil Fruit that Gawain decided to consume himself; he is the legendary Devil Fruit User of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
"Rumble-Rumble Fruit?!?"
At this moment, Kizaru was shocked. Rumble-Rumble Fruit had not appeared on the sea for over five hundred years. He was a legendary Logia!
Most importantly, it is also known as a legendary Devil Fruit with the World's Strongest!
Kizaru's brow furrowed. If Gawain ate this Devil Fruit, then Gawain's last weakness would be made up!
For a moment, Kizaru fell silent. After a long silence, he frowned and asked Issho in a low voice.
"May I ask you something? How did you manage to capture the user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, his speed should be at least similar to mine!
"Heh, this guy doesn't know that Armament Haki exists."
He smiled and answered softly, his words immediately putting Kizaru at ease.
He thought that Yixiao and the others had special methods to deal with speedsters, which was why even if the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user couldn't win, he couldn't escape.
It turns out this ability user was just an ignorant fool, sigh...
Relieved, Kizaru led Issho and the other two to Vegapunk's laboratory.
At that moment, Vegapunk was studying the automation program of the mechanical system. When he saw Kizaru and the others arrive, he freed one eye to look at Kizaru.
When he saw the Kuma, his face immediately lit up with joy, and before anyone could speak, Vegapunk asked.
"Bartholomew Kuma Xiong, have you made your decision? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for technology?"
Haha, that's great! Although I've already recorded your parameters, if I can use yours as a template and modify it a bit, many of my studies will be much easier!
"Cough cough!"
Upon hearing Vegapunk's words, Kuma quickly shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Vegapunk, I have more important things to do right now."
Therefore, I will not choose to sacrifice myself!
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuma showed Enel to Vegapunk.
"This is the new target that Gawain asked you to transfer to: the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
We need you to perfectly transfer the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!
"Oh?!!"
Vegapunk was taken aback at first, then delighted.
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, haha, this Devil Fruit has actually reappeared in the sea, it's truly fate!"
This is a much better fit for my products' laser capabilities than the Pika Pika no Mi's laser!
Don't worry, I will retrieve the Devil Fruit, but before that, I need to study it for a few days, at Rear Admiral record and extract its abilities, and then I..."
Kurano!!!
With a sharp crack, Yixiao drew his sword directly at Vegapunk.
"Hehe, it seems that the reason why the lord sent me here was to deal with a situation like this!"
Therefore, please put aside your own plans and earnestly fulfill your promise to Saint Gawain!
If we cannot get this Devil Fruit back to the adults as quickly as possible, or if anything happens to this Devil Fruit...
Before that ronin commits seppuku, he will surely cut you all down with his sword!!!
Two days later, on the Sky Island, Gawain finished his morning exercise and went to the rest area to quickly replenish his various nutrients.
As she ate, Kalifa introduced him to the food in a low voice.
"My lord, after two days of investigation, I have basically completed your instructions."
The Sky Island, located between Angel Island and God's Island, has a total population of 267,433, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 5.2 to 4.8.
At the same time, Sky Island does have some very unique products, such as some amazing seashells that can be used in various aspects of life.
Among them, Tone Dial, Vision Dial, Lamp Dial, and Water Dial are very suitable for being sold as specialty products to nobles around the world.
The Vision Dial and Tone Dial could even challenge the monopoly of the Camera Den Den Mushi to some extent.
In addition, Breath Dial, Jet Dial, Cloud Dial, and Heat Dial are very suitable as shipboard tools, and can even be used as core components to create small, express vehicles!
But the most important are other shellfish that can be used for weaponry, such as the Flame Dial, Impact Dial, Flash Dial, Reject Dial, and Axe Dial!
These seashells have been very well received by our soldiers after they used them. If we could cultivate them on a large scale, we could equip all our soldiers with them.
Although their power is not much greater than the weapons commonly used by warriors.
However, it must be acknowledged that these shells do not take up much space; their weight and size are not a burden to the soldiers!
Therefore, relying on these special products, Sky Island is fully capable of establishing commercial exchanges with the Sea Room.
Even due to their unique characteristics, Sky Island's products will be very competitive!
"I see."
Gawain took a big bite of his steak, then said softly.
"So, what about the money from Sky Island? Is there a problem if we directly convert it into Beli?"
"No problem, sir!"
Kalifa replied with a smile.
"Although Sky Island has its own currency, the Ace Ancient Coin, its purchasing power is extremely low."
At the same time, the Sky Island's Ace Ancient Coin have an exchange rate with Beli.
One Beli is equal to ten thousand Ace Ancient Coin!
With such exchange rate rules, the Sky Island could easily reform its currency with just a little guidance.
At this point, Kalifa smiled slightly!
"At the same time, the banquet held by the adults allowed the Skypieans to taste and see a great many delicacies and items from Four Blues."
Because of the scarcity of land on the Sky Island, they are interested in all crops Devil Fruit that require land to grow.
In addition, many Skypieans want to buy the soil from our ship Four Blues; for Sky Island, even soil can be traded as a commodity.
The condition is that we stipulate that all transactions involving products from Four Blues must be settled in Beli.
"Beli can easily replace Ace Ancient Coin and become the newest official currency of Sky Island!"
"Very good."
Gawain nodded in satisfaction, then stuffed another piece of meat into his mouth.
After swallowing the piece of meat, Gawain gave Kalifa an order.
"Now that we know about the Sky Island's specialties, let's establish a Sky Island farming line there."
There's no need to force them to do it; just provide enough jobs for the Skypieans and offer relatively generous compensation.
Next, we'll use Beli to pay the Skypieans' wages and mud as their year-end bonus. Through this farming production line, we'll gradually understand the Skypieans' lifestyle. Then, over the next six months, we'll gradually paint the Skypieans with our own colors!
Having said that, Kalifa nodded slightly and then stepped back. After she left, Lucci came to Gawain's side.
After giving a slight bow, Lucci said.
"My lord, Gan Fall's policies are gradually being restored. After all, three years have passed, and change cannot be achieved overnight."
However, while making records, I also collected various laws and regulations from Enel's era.
Do you need to read those for experience?
"Oh?"
Gawain pondered for a moment.
"The laws of Enel's era, huh? Let's take a look."
As he spoke, Gawain took a sip of the meat soup.
Beside him, Lucci placed the file in his hand next to Gawain, but just as Gawain was about to take a look at the file, Rayleigh and Gion, who were not far away, suddenly raised their heads.
"Grown ups!"
"Little Gawain!"
They both shouted in unison.
"Kuma and Little Smile are back!"
"Is that so!"
Gawain was taken aback, then overjoyed, and immediately stood up.
Following Rayleigh's gaze into the distance, not long after, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the edge of the sky.
The two figures moved with incredible speed, and in just a moment, they landed in front of Gawain from the horizon.
The moment they landed, Yixiao handed the sky-blue Devil Fruit she was holding to Gawain.
"My lord, we have successfully brought back the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, fulfilling our mission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yixiao Rumble-Rumble Fruit in front of Gawain.
As for Gawain, he didn't even glance at the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; he simply addressed Issho and Kuma.
"Sigh, without you two these past few days, my training progress has slowed down. I won't let you go on long trips anymore; I really can't do without you two."
As they spoke, Gawain gave a gentle hug and a smile, then he and Kuma exchanged fist bumps.
Seeing Gawain's genuine expression, Kuma gently rubbed his bear-patterned hat.
"My lord, enough with the pleasantries, let's quickly take a look at the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
Even Vegapunk wanted to keep this Devil Fruit for research; Devil Fruit value is truly immense!
After saying that, Kuma pushed the Devil Fruit in Yi Xiao's hand toward Gawain.
Upon hearing this, Gawain nodded slightly, then looked at the Devil Fruit expectantly.
This is a Devil Fruit is entirely sky blue, with fine Inazuma constantly flashing around it. Just by looking at its appearance, it is somewhat similar to a Buddha's head among fruits.
Gawain reached out and took the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. When he touched the static electricity on the surface of the Devil Fruit, he felt a slight stinging sensation on his hand, as if he had been hit by static electricity.
But he didn't care about the stinging pain at all. He steadily brought the Devil Fruit to his mouth and took a bite.
First, his lips went numb, and then an indescribable taste rushed into Gawain's heart.
This smell is absolutely indescribable, like shit. No wonder it's Devil Fruit!!!
