The era of pirates

Chapter 99 The Mysterious Cargo

Punk Hazard Island, located in the first part of the new world route.It was also the first island the Straw Hats landed on after entering the New World.

This island is a secret island belonging to the world government. The Tianlong people have established three large-scale scientific research institutions here, presided over by the peerless genius Vega Punk, who has surpassed the technological level of Pirate World for 500 years, and specializes in the research and development of the most cutting-edge war technology. , such as the man-made devil fruit, the gigantic experiment of ordinary humans, and the development of wide-area annihilation weapons.
Punk Hazard was originally full of vitality and picturesque scenery, but four years ago, a terrible experimental accident occurred on this ill-fated island. A large amount of corrosive and poisonous gas was released from the laboratory on the island, causing the entire island to The creatures are almost extinct, and almost turned into an uninhabited island, only the prisoners abandoned by the Tianlong people and used for human experiments are left, lingering in the abandoned laboratories.

Then two years ago, Qingzhi and Akainu had a duel in Punk Hazard for the position of Admiral of the Navy. The battle between the two top natural ability users caused a drastic change in the climate of the island, which became half ice and snow, half flames. Burning Ice and Fire Island.

Then, the real culprit who caused the Punk Hazard gas leak accident, Vegapunk's deputy scientist, Caesar Courant, a natural "gas fruit" capable person, after becoming a fugitive criminal with a bounty of [-] million, secretly I approached Don Quixote Doflamingo for cooperation.

Under the covert funding of the ambitious King Qibukai, Caesar Courant quietly returned to Punk Hazard, reorganized the research materials left by Vegapunk, occupied the abandoned laboratory, and restarted all research topics.

It’s just that compared to Vegapunk who was forced to work for the Draconians, Caesar Courant is cold-blooded and cruel, and has no bottom line in life. After conducting countless horrific human experiments, he successfully developed an artificial demon for Doflamingo. The fruit [SMILE] facilitated the artificial devil fruit transaction between Amayasha and Kaido.

As we all know, Kaido the Four Emperors is an extremely generous buyer, he will never bargain, and he also has the most important special resource in the Pirate World, Hailou Stone, so anyone who wants to make a fortune Businessmen who get rich all dream of one day being able to do business with Kaido.

But it is also known that Kaido is also extremely harsh on his business partners.He will never allow any surprises in his transaction, especially if the other party fails to supply goods on time, and if Kaido is disappointed, the consequences will be extremely serious, and it will even be equivalent to directly declaring war with the emperor of the sea.

To produce artificial devil fruit [SMILE], a special raw material called [SAD] is necessary, and the only one who can produce SAD in the world is the evil scientist Caesar Courant and his SAD production factory in Punk Hazard .

Therefore, at this moment, the man-made devil fruit is the lifeline of the Don Quixote family, and Caesar Courant is the lifeblood of Doflamingo.

Li Zhao's purpose is to draw fire from the bottom of the pot, directly capture Caesar Courant, and destroy the SAD production factory. In this way, Doflamingo will not be able to supply goods on time, and his original most powerful ally will instantly become his most terrifying enemy.

Standing on the back of Buffalo the Spinning Man, Li Zhao and the half-murloc boy overlooked the legendary island from a distance.

The island is like a plate that was accidentally broken in half, and half of it is filled with bright red chili sauce, and the other half is piled with fruit shaved ice. In the middle is a circular lake directly connected to the sea. It was once the place where Admirals Akainu and Aokiji fought.By the lake is Caesar's laboratory, a large-scale fortress.

"Should we go straight in, or go to the island from a hidden place first, and sneak in slowly?"

The murloc boy with Kalifa's soul in his body asked with a smile.

Ever since changing her body, this woman has been eager to use a hearty battle to verify her true strength at this moment.

Li Zhao originally wanted to rush in like this, but he always felt that it was not appropriate to do so. At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a large cargo ship on the sea, slowly heading towards Punk Hazard Island.

Due to its confidentiality, even if the island has been abandoned by the world government, it is still not something anyone can come to if they want.

Leaving aside the coordinates of this island, it will not be displayed on any magnetic pointer or chart. Even if someone stumbles and accidentally finds this island, he still has to face the surrounding island, half of which will never go out. The ground is blazing with flames, and the other half is a wall of permafrost glaciers.Even if outsiders can land on the island, they will be fascinated by the poisonous gas covering the periphery of the island.

Then this ship is most likely a supply ship belonging to the Don Quixote family.

After observing carefully with his domineering aura of knowledge, Li Zhao immediately confirmed his conjecture. From the flag of the big ship, he saw the flamingo logo of the Don Quixote family.

"Good time, let's fly over!"

A moment later, Li Zhao, who had the appearance of Virgo, landed on the deck of the big ship with the half-murloc boy and Buffalo the spinner.

A large number of fully armed sailors immediately surrounded them, but after seeing their faces clearly, their alert expressions instantly relaxed, and a small boss immediately rushed forward and greeted Li Zhao directly: "Vergo Sir! So it is you, please forgive me, we were not informed of your coming to this ship before, so it is very offensive."

"It doesn't matter. Be vigilant at all times. You are doing a good job." Li Zhao responded casually, but felt a little strange in his heart. Although Virgo is the top cadre of the Don Quixote family, his identity is extremely secret, and ordinary people should not know him. He is right.

But Li Zhao thought about it again, the existence of Caesar Courant is also the top secret of the family, and the contact and monitoring of this evil scientist were indeed done by Virgo and his direct subordinate, Monet of the [Red Heart] unit. Responsible, then the crew on this ship, nine out of ten are the direct subordinates of Virgo and Monet.

Sure enough, the little boss obviously knew the current situation of the family very well. After seeing the half-murloc boy beside him, he suddenly frowned and said in doubt: "Mr. Missing? And I suspect that he has betrayed the family, so we must be careful when we meet, but this"

"That's right, he was controlled by the enemy before, and then I rescued him, and the whole family has not been notified yet." At this moment, Delinger's expression and movements are quite different from those of the genuine ones, and his temperament is completely female. Beginning to doubt, Li Zhao immediately changed the subject and said, "What are you carrying on this ship?"

As expected, the little boss's attention was diverted, and while inviting Li Zhao and the other three to check out the warehouse, he introduced him: "In addition to delivering fixed food and other supplies for Mr. Monet this time, we also have some to serve as experimental materials. living creatures. My lord, please see."

Opening a cabin door, a stench came over his face immediately. Li Zhao held his breath and looked inside, only to see a cabin full of animals.

There are jackals, tigers, leopards, lions, crocodiles, cranes, eagles, and giraffes. There are no less than a hundred of them, and they are all fat and strong, alive and kicking.It's really embarrassing for Doflamingo, I don't know where to catch so many birds and beasts.

But Li Zhao soon realized that he still underestimated the energy and bottom line of the Don Quixote family, because the birds and beasts in this large warehouse were actually only the most insignificant part of this batch of goods.
