Second [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit]!

"Excavating Ancient Weapon?"

Vegapunk looked at Storm in astonishment.

"Did you find [Poseidon], or did you discover the whereabouts of [Pluton Pluton?"

Just as Storm was about to answer, he noticed Vegapunk's words and couldn't help but ask a question in return.

"Doctor, why don't you mention [Uranus, the Uranus]?"

"Of course, it's because [Uranus] has long been under the control Uranus the World Government!"

Vegapunk said it in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Isn't this common sense?"

"Why would such highly confidential information be considered common knowledge?"

Several black lines immediately appeared on Storm's forehead.

"Isn't it just 'common sense' to you?"

"That's about it..."

Vegapunk waved his hand dismissively and continued the previous conversation.

So, is it [Aquaman] or [Pluton]?

"... It's [Pluton, the Pluton]."

Storm paused, then explained.

"I went to Wano Country before, and Wano Country I heard a very ancient, powerful and special 'voice'."

"This 'voice' also confirms the intelligence we obtained earlier—[Pluton] Pluton currently still 'sealed' in Wano Country."

Storm's current target, of course, is [Pluton, the Pluton].

If he were searching for Poseidon, he wouldn't need to seek Vegapunk's help at all.

[Poseidon] is alive, and his "location" is very fixed.

Fish-Man Island, Ryugu Kingdom, Hard Shell Tower.

On the contrary, [Pluton, the Pluton] is a genuine "weapon," and a "super weapon" that contains the advanced technological power of an ancient Great Kingdom.

Storm thought that if he just randomly went to Wano Country, did no preparations, and started digging for [Pluton Pluton...

The probability of successfully excavating [Pluton, the Pluton] is [missing information].

However, the probability of inflicting some unknown and enormous damage on [Pluton Pluton during the excavation process is even higher!

This is the real reason why Storm approached Vegapunk.

If Vegapunk had been there, at least some unnecessary damage to Pluton Pluton could have been avoided.

Certainly.

Storm will also take Robin to Wano Country in the future.

Vegapunk is just smart—or maybe not.

Robin is the real archaeologist!

"So it's [Pluton, the Pluton]..."

Vegapunk stroked the Whitebeard on his chin and shook his head.

"Then I advise you not to waste your energy."

Storm looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"Actually, I'm also very curious about so-called [Ancient Weapon]."

Vegapunk said with great helplessness.

"However, apart from the special case of [Uranus], both [Uranus] and [Pluton] are technological creations from eight or nine hundred years ago. "Pluton

"Having been around for nearly a thousand years, putting aside other factors, the 'energy' of [Ancient Weapon] is definitely insufficient!"

"At least according to what I know, the World Government's [Uranus] is unable to be used for a long time because it lacks sufficient energy. "Uranus

"Another point is that the energy required to power Ancient Weapon is not the electricity or heat we use now, but a much more advanced form of energy..."

"So, even if you Pluton, Storm, do manage to dig [Pluton] out of Wano Country, you won't have enough energy to power it."

"And an Ancient Weapon without an energy source, especially a ship... I think it's not as good as the Gild Tesoro's Gran Tesoro."

Gran Tesoro is also very large in scale.

That was a colossal golden warship, comparable in size to an island!

If [Pluton Pluton does not use energy, then it will naturally lose its offensive power.

In that case, [Pluton] might not actually be as useful Gran Tesoro Pluton.

After listening to Vegapunk's long speech, Storm fell silent.

Vegapunk's words do make a lot of sense.

Storm wanted to dig out [Pluton, the Pluton] in order to increase his own combat power, which could be considered as eliminating a potential threat in advance.

But an ancient warship without an energy source...

Probably, it seems, maybe, it's all useless.

"But, Doctor, can't you create some kind of 'special energy source'?"

Storm knew that Vegapunk in the future had created a magical energy source called the [Mother Flame].

Based on the intelligence he knew...

In the future Uranus, the World Government will steal a small amount of energy from the [Mother Flame] and forcibly activate the Ancient Weapon [Uranus], which was hidden in the Paradise stage, thereby completely erasing the Lulusia Kingdom from the sea.

Storm may not believe in Vegapunk's intelligence.

However, he had complete faith in Vegapunk's technology.

"A very good question."

Vegapunk nodded first, then shook his head.

"But I really can't do it."

"To be honest, providing the world with unlimited energy has been my dream since I was a child."

"But how exactly to do it... I still don't have enough confidence."

"Perhaps... that..."

Vegapunk touched the half-apple on his head.

During this time, with Trafalgar Law's help, Vegapunk has completed the "beheading operation".

His "World's Number One Brain," which would grow larger with the influx of knowledge, has been placed in a special incubation chamber.

Once Vegapunk's original body is rid of this "burden," the growth rate of that "World's Number One Brain" will definitely experience a leap forward.

In this scenario, Vegapunk might actually be able to develop the "infinite energy" he dreamed of.

However, discussing such matters now is far too abstract and unrealistic.

Vegapunk wasn't the type to boast or talk big.

So he became a riddle solver.

Storm looked at Vegapunk, who had stopped talking halfway through his sentence, and felt utterly speechless.

"Doctor, do you know what? There are two types of people I hate the most in my life. The first type is people who stop talking halfway through their sentences."

"Haha, really?"

Vegapunk gave two dry laughs.

"What about the second one?"

Storm didn't speak, he just looked at Vegapunk.

"Ha ha!"

Vegapunk reacted quickly, and his laughter became much more genuine.

"Storm, your joke-telling skills are comparable to Borsalino's!"

"Kizaru is no match for me. Forget it."

Storm shook his head, abandoning his plan Pluton take Vegapunk to Wano Country to excavate [Pluton].

Since there is currently not enough energy available.

Therefore Pluton, Storm decided not to excavate the [Pluton].

'I'll find a chance to go to Water Seven later and get my hands on the [Pluton Blueprint]! Then it'll be Fish-Man Island!'

Storm silently changed his mind.

The topic of Ancient Weapon will now come to a temporary close.

Storm then brought up another matter.

"Doctor, what's the progress on the manufacturing of the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit]?"

"One has already been made," Vegapunk said. "Should I go get it for you?"

Vegapunk didn't know why Storm was so concerned about the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit].

It was clearly a failure...

Moreover, this was based on prior manufacturing experience.

This time, a new [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] was created using the Lineage Factor of Beasts Kaido.

It's still a complete failure!

Vegapunk was never able to completely restore the true color of the [Mythical Zoan: Azure Dragon Fruit].

That was such a failure!

"Huh? So fast?"

Storm was startled.

"I thought it would take a while longer..."

How long has it been since Storm defeated Beasts Kaido?

A new [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] has been created.

"Actually, the time required to create the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] is far less than you imagine."

Vegapunk didn't mention that he spent most of his experimental time mixing new colors for the [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit].

"Once Beasts Kaido's Lineage Factor is in place, the rest is just a matter of pressing a button; it's very simple."

Upon hearing this, Storm was speechless.

It's really simple.

It's as simple as "putting an elephant in a refrigerator only takes three steps".

"However, Storm, it's a little embarrassing to say, but I must remind you."

Vegapunk suddenly sighed.

"This [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] is still a failure."

"Ah?"

Storm blinked, recalling the "failure" of the previous [Red Dragon Fruit], and suspected that Vegapunk's perfectionism had flared up again.

"Could it be... the color?"

"That's right! It's color! It's color again!"

"Vegapunk said through gritted teeth."

"According to my calculations, the [artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] from last time would turn someone into a 'pink dragon' after they ate it."

"And this time, according to my calculations, it will turn into a 'purple dragon' after eating it!"

"Failure! Utter failure! A failure upon failure! I really am a useless piece of trash..."

I think you're going a bit too extreme...

Storm opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort Vegapunk.

In fact, the color of the [Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit] was never a problem for him.

The [Big Trophy] can Color Change with a wish.

That's how the [Red Dragon Fruit] came about.

However, the purple dragon...

That sounds good.

Storm forcefully changed the subject.

"Um, Doctor, I've mastered an ability that can help Beasts Kaido recover from his injuries. Why don't you take a look and see if this ability can extract more Lineage Factor from Beasts Kaido?"

Second update.

Goodnight everyone.
