As soon as the words were spoken, the golden robot's body began to slowly change. Its originally slightly bulky body began to shrink inward, and its overall shape changed.
After a while, when the dazzling golden light faded, what appeared before Xia Chen was a golden robot with a near-perfect physique.
No, it might be a bit inappropriate to call it a golden robot now, as it is no longer a single gold color, but rather a predominantly white-gold hue.
It is both Haki and aesthetically pleasing!
This is roughly what it looks like.
"This..."
Xia Chen stared wide-eyed at the sight before him, as if he could fit an egg inside.
The next second...
ԅ(✧_✧ԅ)!!
Xia Chen's eyes immediately lit up with stars. The robot in front of him—no, that's not right! This mecha perfectly matched all the requirements he had for the mecha of his imagination!
Isn't this a million times better looking than that Franky General Franky he created? Even from Xia Chen's perspective in his previous life, there's nothing to criticize!
With this appearance, who would have guessed that it was transformed from that ugly robot?
"How about it, you brat? Shocked by my new form? I am the pinnacle of technology from nine hundred years ago! I'm beyond your comprehension!"
"Moreover, my strength in this form is far greater than in the first stage, so... are you prepared to perish here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly raised his palm, and a dazzling golden light immediately appeared in his hand. Then, a lightsaber materialized in his hand.
"Remember my name, Vegito!"
"To die by my hand is your honor!"
With that, Vegito charged towards Xia Chen, his speed much faster than before.
"Um?"
Xia Chen's eyes shone even brighter as he watched the trail of flames that shot out from behind Vegito as it moved.
This guy... is really handsome!
Seeing Xia Chen remain motionless, Vegito's mechanical eyes revealed a human-like smugness.
It seems this human isn't very strong; he can't even react to his attack!
ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh!
As expected, was he just too strong?
Since that's the case, let him just give the other party a clean and quick end!
Vegito's grip on the sword tightened even more, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xia Chen, his lightsaber slashing towards Xia Chen with immense power.
"Clang!"
How is that possible?
Vegito's mechanical voice carried a hint of shock.
A rod, much smaller than his lightsaber, was pressed against the blade of his sword; it seemed like a battle with no suspense whatsoever.
But the truth is that the small stick easily blocked his attack, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get an inch forward.
"The strength is decent, the speed is decent, but that's about it!"
Xia Chen's calm voice came, followed by a sudden burst of power from his right hand, which was transmitted to the Jingu Bang.
Vegito's sword was instantly deflected, sending him flying.
After spinning countless times, the Jingu Bang was finally grasped by Xia Chen, and in the next instant, Xia Chen shot out.
In the blink of an eye, he overtook him and rushed into the trajectory of Vegito's backward flight. The Jingu Bang in his hand was quickly dyed with a layer of golden light, and then Xia Chen swung it out fiercely.
"Bang!"
A deep, loud thud resounded, and a look of surprise appeared on Xia Chen's face.
Instead of sending Vegito flying as he had expected, the Jingu Bang struck a blue energy shield.
"Hmph, you little brat! Didn't expect that, did you? I have a shield!"
Vegito's triumphant voice rang out, and then he turned around and swung his sword fiercely at Xia Chen.
"Bang!"
A similar dull thud rang out as Vegito's lightsaber struck a yellowish-brown defensive shield filled with ancient runes.
Xia Chen smiled slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery as he looked at Vegito, and his lips parted slightly.
"Sorry, I have a shield too!"
Vegito:!!!
Seemingly not expecting the shot he had just fired to hit him the next second, Vegito appeared somewhat bewildered.
Xia Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised by Vegito's thought process, which was no different from that of a human.
Of course, it's only a little bit!
Because he had seen robots that were completely indistinguishable from humans, in every way. Although he had only seen them in anime.
Those are the six Clone Vegapunk created!
Compared to Vegapunk's Clone, Vegito can express his shock through speech, but he cannot make the corresponding facial expressions.
That's normal, since Vegapunk's current Begate is practically a mecha now, quite different from Vegapunk Clone robots.
After spending some time with Begate, Xia Chen had a general idea of Vega's personality.
Simply put, he's a robot that's a bit arrogant and loves to brag!
Suddenly, Xia Chen turned to Begate and asked, "I have a question for you, does your mech have a cockpit inside?"
"!!!"
"I'm not going to tell you that my mech does indeed have a cockpit. Forget about it!"
Xia Chen:...
That was too hasty; we should have added a slightly foolish personality trait!
This robot is a bit silly, which is kind of funny. Did the people who created it focus all their efforts on its strength and not give much thought to its intelligence?
In that case, it seems... we can try to fool them a little!
Thinking of this, Xia Chen smiled slightly and continued, "How about this, I have a suggestion: why don't you submit to me?"
"Then let me pilot you and wreak havoc across the world, how about that?"
Xia Chen became more and more excited as he spoke, his face beaming with excitement.
Indeed, ever since he first saw Vegito's appearance after his second transformation, the idea of subduing him had been growing uncontrollably in his mind.
The idea became even more ingrained in his mind when he learned that Vegito had a cockpit!
After all, for a boy who grew up in the sunshine, the most common things he talked about as a child were things like "transformation" and "armor".
Who hasn't dreamed of being a mecha warrior? Who hasn't wanted to pilot a mecha and fight monsters?
However, Xia Chen never expected that his dream would actually come true in the world of One Piece!
That's right, there's nothing that Xia Chen can't achieve. If Vegito is sensible enough to submit to him, he can keep his consciousness.
But if you refuse...
He didn't care much, and directly scattered his consciousness. With Vegapunk's level, he believed that even if he destroyed Vegito, Vegapunk could still repair himself!
"Submit to you? You little brat, you really dare to say that!"
"Who gave you the confidence to beat me? With that turtle shell of yours? I'll break it in a minute!!!"
Having said that, Vegito raised the sword in his hand...
