"Ontology?"
Astra paused for a moment upon seeing Vegapunk, but immediately asked:
Why are you here?
"If I don't come soon, your place will be demolished!"
"I can't help it, "Vegapunk said helplessly, then looked at Chopper and Luffy on Astra's body and said with a smile:
Hello, nice to meet you!
"I am Vegapunk!"
"Another Vegapunk?"
Luffy blurted out something on the spur of the moment, but then paused, looking at Vegapunk.
He murmured subconsciously:
"Old man!"
"That's right, Xia Chen said it exactly! You are Vegapunk!"
Luffy clapped his hands and said excitedly.
"Well..."
Upon hearing Luffy's "niche" criteria for judgment, everyone present was stunned into silence.
Astra, especially, who was beneath him, was completely dumbfounded.
Does this mean that if she weren't a woman and looked a bit older, she would be a true Vegapunk?
After a moment of hesitation, Vegapunk gave an awkward laugh and looked at Luffy, saying:
"So you're Straw Hat Boy Luffy? You're completely different from your father! What an interesting kid!"
"My father?!"
Luffy tilted his head in confusion, then asked:
"But isn't my father already dead?"
Vegapunk:...
I met your father before he died!
"I had a very good relationship with him, it's just a pity..."
He's gone!
At this point, Vegapunk couldn't help but sigh. Then, looking at Luffy again, he smiled and said:
"Okay, let's not talk about this sad thing anymore!"
"Now that you've come to this island, let me show you around!"
"Many of the things here can't be seen from outside!"
"For example..."
"High-tech clothing that allows ordinary people to fly, or machines that can make all kinds of food with just a tap!"
"High-tech clothing that flies in the sky?!"
"A machine that makes all kinds of food?!"
Chopper and Luffy each muttered a line, their eyes immediately turning into stars.
His face was full of anticipation and excitement.
"Then please take us there quickly, uncle!"
Luffy leaped off Astra and immediately went to Vegapunk, grabbing his hand and saying excitedly.
" Luffy! There are still enemies here! Why did you run down there!"
Seeing Chopper couldn't help but shout at Luffy, then looked at Vegapunk and said:
"Grandpa! There's a bad person here! She's impersonating you to deceive us and keeps attacking us!"
"That's right!"
Upon hearing Luffy was also filled with righteous indignation and said:
"Luckily, I'm smart enough to see through her disguise, otherwise I would have been fooled!"
"Well..."
"This... it's actually a misunderstanding!"
Vegapunk shrugged helplessly, glanced at Astra, then at Luffy and Chopper, and said:
"Her name is Astra! She can also be described as Vegapunk!"
"So... there's nothing wrong with her calling herself Vegapunk!"
"Um?!!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy and Chopper both tilted their heads, several question marks appearing above their heads.
Luffy for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on. What did "both" mean?
It took him a long time to finally manage to utter a sentence.
So... you're not Vegapunk after all?
"You look exactly like Vegapunk!"
Vegapunk was speechless once again. Listening to Luffy's words, even his world's number one brain suddenly felt a bit inadequate.
nonsense!
How could he not resemble himself?
" Astra is Clone of myself that I created. She has an independent personality and memories, but strictly speaking, she is still me!"
"So there's nothing wrong with her calling herself Vegapunk!"
Vegapunk explained directly, fearing that if he didn't clarify things, Luffy might blurt out some outrageous remarks.
" Clone? This is actually your Clone?"
Luffy exclaimed in surprise, glancing at Astra and then at Vegapunk, a hint of confusion on his face.
"But... why don't you look alike?"
"Aren't Clone usually exactly the same as the original body?"
"That's a lower-level Clone, mine is a higher-level one!"
Vegapunk stuck out his tongue and said with a smile.
"!!!"
"Do you have any other Clone?"
Chopper ran over instantly, his face filled with excitement.
Knowing that Astra wasn't an enemy, she naturally no longer needed to keep an eye on her.
"Yes, yes! I have five more Clone like this!"
"Each of them looks different, and their personalities are also different! But they all possess my memories, and each one is a world-class scientist capable of standing on their own!"
"The real body! Why bother talking to them so much? They're invaders, and they've wreaked havoc on the town!"
"Hurry up and arrest them!"
"However, these guys are quite strong. Perhaps... we should just send out the Seraphim?!"
"Although it's not fully developed yet, it's ready for use!"
Astra seemed to have thought of something, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.
Astra! You want to play games again!
Vegapunk said speechlessly.
"I saw it just now, didn't I? You're the one who destroyed most of this town, aren't you?"
"I..."
Astra looked slightly embarrassed, but immediately said:
"I did that because I wanted to pursue them!"
Seeing Astra's appearance, Vegapunk didn't say anything more.
He created this Clone himself; didn't he know what Astra looked like?
" Astra! They are my important guests, and we cannot lay a hand on our guests!"
"Oh, it's not an intruder!"
"Oops! I'm so sorry! I made a mistake!"
"Sorry!"
Astra immediately bowed to Luffy and Chopper.
This scene left Luffy and Chopper completely stunned.
You changed your expression that quickly!
"Come on, you two! Follow me, I'll show you around this island of the future!"
Vegapunk spoke to the two of them, then walked in a certain direction.
"Oh ho~"
Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement immediately appeared on his face, and he followed Vegapunk over.
Meanwhile, Xia Chen and the others also arrived at this island filled with futuristic technology.
Looking at the surrounding buildings, a hint of amazement appeared in everyone's eyes.
Xia Chen was the same.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a futuristic building.
I must say, this feeling is quite novel.
Suddenly, a loud, boisterous laugh came from ahead.
"Hahaha..."
