Honestly, he did not believe any of that talk about being five hundred years ahead of the world.
Ever since learning that this world's technology had been very different in the distant past, he had suspected that Vegapunk had only become so extraordinary because he had obtained ancient knowledge.
No one was born knowing everything, unless they came from the future.
Clearly, Vegapunk could not have come from the future, so he could only have obtained ancient knowledge.
He was a genius, certainly, but not a genius five hundred years ahead of the world.
Shaking his head, Kuta took the lead and headed toward the laboratory.
Behind him, the Ahua Trio did not follow. Instead, they turned toward the countless pirates lying on the beach.
Robin chuckled and followed him. Of course she was interested in this laboratory.
After all, it was a laboratory where the legendary Vegapunk had worked. Perhaps he had left some interesting books behind!
Naturally, Indigo followed as well. He was also a scientist, and though he was a doctor who had spent all his time in the skies with Golden Lion, he had still heard the legends about Vegapunk.
He was just as interested in the man.
Brook did not follow. Instead, he slowly walked off to one side, took out a teapot, sat down, and began leisurely brewing coffee.
In truth, he had never been such an eccentric person. Too many years of solitude had changed his personality.
Aboard the Freedom, with the unparalleled sense of security provided by Kuta, one of the world's strongest fighters, he had gradually let go of his loneliness. Sometimes quiet, sometimes humorous, sometimes eccentric, he had become the one who kept life aboard the Freedom running smoothly.
Kuta sliced through the laboratory's heavy door with a single stroke.
