Wanted: Dr. Vegapunk

"What did you say?!"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the Five Elders exchanged glances, each seeing shock in the other's eyes.

How could a strange giant tree, painstakingly planted and accelerated with an unknown ability to speed up the flow of time, simply disappear?

"CP0 has already gone underwater to investigate, but found absolutely no trace of trees, except for a strange abyss..."

"Enough, this is not your concern. Return to Mariejois immediately."

Kaka...

After the Den Den Mushi hung up, the Five Elders all looked worried and unhappy.

"How could a giant tree, at least nearly a thousand meters tall, just disappear like that? How did he do it?"

"Instant teleportation, penetrating attacks, immunity to Seastone, transformation similar to the awakening of Zoan Devil Fruit... This guy's abilities are far too comprehensive, and to make matters worse, he overheard names he shouldn't have heard."

Izanbaron V. Nassshuro exuded a chilling aura, while the other Five Elders remained silent with their heads bowed.

I originally thought that with the power of the Uranus, it would be easy to kill a troublesome ant.

But who could have imagined that the ant not only absorbed all the Uranus, but also retaliated with a strange ability, nearly annihilating the Uranus.

Although Lord Imu intervened to save Uranus, Uranus's last bit of energy was completely used up, and now things are really in big trouble.

"With our strength alone, we simply cannot stop that guy. Although I hate to admit it, his existence is the nemesis of Ability User..."

"Son of the Sea, you bastard."

Jaigolusia Satan's face twisted in pain. He was not only one of the most powerful people in the world, but he had also spent hundreds of years as a scientist.

He, who prided himself on having some knowledge of life in the world, actually encountered such a freak, an existence that could be considered the Ability User of Devil Fruit.

"Even if we offer a bounty of 4 billion, it will only make his life a little uneasy. The Ancient Weapon will be temporarily unusable, so what should we do?"

Bahru bahru bah...

The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang, Five Elders looked surprised. Who would call the conference room at this time?

"Jaygorusia Satan Saint," an unfamiliar voice answered the call.

"My Five Elders, I am CP7, working under the command of Du Feld, the king of the world's loan sharks. I have now uncovered important intelligence."

"The research project of Vegapunk and Vinsmoke Judge, illegal scientists within MADS, an illegal scientific research organization under Du Feld, has achieved Great Breakthrough in the Life Design Blueprint, also known as the Lineage Factor."

"According to Vegapunk, Lineage Factor can not only endow life with special abilities, but may even be able to mass-produce the power of Devil Fruit through Lineage Factor!"

Snap!

The exquisite, priceless cup and the black tea shattered with a crash, and Jaigolusia Satan's pupils trembled violently before he descended into madness.

"What did you say? How is this possible? Vegapunk actually cracked the blueprint of human life, making the mass production of Devil Fruit Ability User a reality..."

"Phew, as expected of the Brain-Brain Fruit Ability User. That Devil Fruit chose him. Continue to lie low and secretly gather intelligence. The World Government and the Navy will make a move soon."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi again, Jaigolusia Satan's eyes flickered as he looked around.

"Since the Uranus has temporarily lost its energy source, it is necessary for us to recruit scientists from among the ants to create new weapons for us."

"Dr. Vegapunk is a good candidate. With the Brain-Brain Fruit ability and our huge funds, he will definitely be able to come up with a satisfactory answer."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Izambaron V. Nassshuro weighed his options for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"A good suggestion. The wisdom of ants is indeed worth borrowing, especially the most intelligent and brain-powered Brain-Brain Fruit Ability User."

"This will also require your cooperation, financial genius. We'll set their future experimental island in Punk Hazard, the island with the most diverse biodiversity."

"The safest approach is to keep these unstable and dangerous individuals under close surveillance. As for whether they join voluntarily, no scientist can resist the temptation of huge sums of money."

As a scientist, Jaygolucia Satan smiled confidently, while the other Five Elders nodded in agreement without giving a direct answer.

"Then it's settled. Notify the World Government and the Navy to immediately launch a manhunt for the illegal organization MADS, and at the same time issue a warning to Du Feld."

At this moment, the Five Elders all wore sneers.

A guy who can only reign supreme in the lower world wouldn't even be worthy of a glance from them under normal circumstances.

It just so happens that they funded Vegapunk; those scientists will prove for themselves who is the most suitable person to shelter them.

South Blue, the Sorbet Kingdom.

"Great, Kuma, Big Brother! We're finally living the life we've always dreamed of! This is freedom!"

Ginny cheered with joy, and Emporio Ivankov could hardly contain his excitement.

In just three short days, they enjoyed the freest and most comfortable three days of their lives.

There are no annoying Seastone necklaces, no constant danger of losing your life. The sky here is azure, the sea breeze is free, and people don't discriminate against each other. Everyone is very friendly.

Bartholomew Xiong nodded emphatically, his eyes full of gentleness; his life over the years seemed to have made him accustomed to being taciturn.

"The feeling of freedom is truly wonderful. It's like having all the burdens lifted off my shoulders, a feeling of unprecedented ease. It's so nice, hehehe..."

A strangely familiar voice rang out from behind the three of them. Ambrio Ivankov froze on the spot, hurriedly turned around, and was drenched in sweat.

"The Sea's Chosen, U... Uchiha... Uchiha Huayue!"

With a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, Huayue's smile remained unchanged as she took out a syringe and looked at Bartholomew Xiong.

"It's time to fulfill your promise and give me the blood of the Paw-Paw Fruit Ability User and the bloodline genes of the Buccaneer Race. If any of you become a Devil Fruit Ability User in the future, you must also give me a blood sample."

Only then did Bartholomew Xiong laugh from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness. You saved us with such a small price. We are so grateful."

"No need to thank me. This is just a fair deal, and it doesn't mean that I will go easy on you if you stand against me in the future."

In the blink of an eye, the syringe was filled with precious genetic samples. Huayue's smile remained unchanged as she turned into azure and disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, on an island in the New World, John, who had buried countless treasures, looked up at the sky with his smile unchanged.

"Who will discover these treasures after I die? I can't wait, hahaha..."
