Many people had not understood Shane's earlier words.
Instead, his last remark-that he alone was enough-had stunned them.
Technology and will? What would ordinary people know about those?
Someone daring to come to Marine Headquarters alone was what truly frightened them.
Wait!
Some people looked at Shane on the screen with uneasy expressions.
Something was wrong.
The place where Shane was speaking seemed some distance from Marineford's harbor, so why could they hear him so clearly?
"Don't underestimate the power of technology. Of course, I could do the same without this thing."
Shane pointed to his ear and took out a small earpiece Den Den Mushi.
It was a technological breakthrough achieved by everyone at the New Seagull Laboratory: the Powerful Call-Intercepting Den Den Mushi!
They had drawn on all the Shiyan Municipal Bureau and research results Shane had previously brought from the old Seagull Laboratory.
Although Vegapunk also had most of the technological achievements and data recorded in his brain, and Judge had achieved breakthroughs with his family background and funding,
Shane had the most complete collection, the largest workforce, and the fastest pace of technological breakthroughs.
They were all excavating the technological ruins of the Ancient Kingdom. There was no need for anyone to put on airs.
Speaking of which,
Shane had possessed an Ancient Machine Giant since Alabasta. Who else had more complete information, a perfect test subject, and the finest materials than Shane?
"Those pirates' technology actually surpassed that of Vegapunk at Marine Headquarters!"
"He's known as the world's smartest man! He's developed all sorts of high technology nobody had ever heard of!"
"He can actually intercept calls! That's terrifying! Is this the technology he was talking about?"
Deep down, the viewers all felt there was more to this than met the eye.
In fact,
