"If that's the case, those annoying people won't come bother me anymore, right?"
Although he had completed the research project assigned by the World Government and felt somewhat relieved, Vegapunk instead seemed a little melancholy.
However.
After sighing, he said nothing more. Turning to Navy Rear Admiral Kabuto, who had been dispatched here from Navy Headquarters this time, he continued with a chuckle, "Still...
