One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"Borusalino, the World Government's brilliant talent, Dr. Vegapunk has been kidnapped by a gang of criminals from the West Sea."

"All you need to do is bring Vegapunk back safely, and bring back as many items as possible that Dr. Vegapunk left behind."

"Everyone else will be killed without mercy!"

……

The orders from the Warring States general echoed in his mind.

Borsalino was lying in a rocking chair in front of the warship, with the parasol blocking the glaring sunlight and casting a hint of shade.

On the leisure table next to it, there was a pile of bananas and a few banana peels that had already been eaten.

"Hmm... Let me take a look. The West Sea Laboratory should be about a hundred nautical miles away."

Borsalino picked up the nautical chart and the pointer on the table, compared them repeatedly, and calculated the time when the warship would arrive.

"An outstanding talent of the World Government could be kidnapped by a mere criminal from the West Sea. General Sengoku is really embarrassing..."

Borsalino muttered quietly, his slightly wretched face hidden behind huge sunglasses, his expression was unrecognizable. Only the sun's rays occasionally flashed through the dark sunglasses.

Borsalino pouted, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

"Doctor, Doctor, there are naval ships arriving from a hundred miles away."

"The navy is coming very quickly this time. It will probably be here soon."

"Let's go quickly, Doctor, or we won't be able to leave."

In a sophisticated laboratory underground on an unknown island in the West Sea, various advanced instruments are arranged in an orderly manner. In front of Dr. Vegapunk, papers filled with words have been piled high.

The doctor was still writing furiously. The pink liquid in front of him continued to emit boiling hot steam and bubbles rose from the bottom of the test tube.

"I can't leave now. The navy is serious this time."

Vegapunk glanced at the monitor screen in his assistant's hand, then refocused his attention on the test tube in front of him.

After recording the final data, the doctor pressed the button next to him, and the test tube in front of him was instantly crushed by an invisible force.

"Where's that guy Caesar?"

Before the assistant could respond, the door of the laboratory was kicked open, and a loud and anxious voice came from outside.

"Vegapunk you bastard, why aren't you running away?"

"If the world government finds out about what you and I have done, won't we die ten thousand times?"

Following the sound, Caesar hurried in from the door.

“I can’t leave now.”

"The Nature-type Shining Fruit, can you escape from him?"

The flags on the warships fluttered in the wind, and the patterns like the scorching sun were particularly eye-catching.

"Then, are we just going to surrender here?"

Caesar asked unwillingly.

"This is not a surrender. The world government needs our capabilities and technology, but at the same time we also need the world government's resources and conditions."

“It’s a two-way collaboration.”

Vegapunk spoke calmly. He had anticipated what would happen today.

The only thing they didn't take into consideration was that the navy would send the user of the Pika Pika Nomi no Mi, which showed that they were determined not to let them leave.

Looking at Caesar pacing back and forth, Vegapunk knew that this guy had somewhat lost his mind.

"Caesar, calm down. The virus you requested to study also requires resources for the smoke."

"The West Sea is too small to support our experiments. We will eventually have to rely on a force, and the World Government is the most suitable."

As a scientist, the pursuit of truth outweighs most things in Vegapunk's heart, even his own freedom.

If you want to climb to the peak of truth, you must have strong strength and resources behind you.

Vegapunk has an extremely thorough understanding of the current situation.

Scientists will eventually have to rely on a certain force, otherwise, you will soon know what a gold-devouring beast is.

And the World Government will not kill them, so this deal is naturally a good deal.

"It's outrageous! It's really outrageous!"

"Vegapunk, what do you think my purpose is?"

"I want to research the most powerful weapon in the world and start an unprecedented war."

"Being controlled by others, without fame and freedom, then tell me, what is the value of all this?"

Caesar roared madly, and the madness in his eyes slowly spread.

"Okay, okay, okay, you forced me to do this, asshole!"

As Caesar spoke, he frantically pulled out a wooden box from his arms and took out the devil fruit inside.

"The natural gas fruit, although it's not the most ideal, but it's the only way to escape."

Caesar laughed crazily and took a big bite of the fruit in front of him.

On the side, Vegapunk looked at Caesar's crazy look and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"If you don't want the lab to blow up, don't release your damn gas here."

Caesar, who was about to transform into an element to test his own strength, suddenly froze and stopped the transformation process abruptly.

Then he turned and walked out the door.

"Phew... I owe you this. Don't die in the hands of the navy. I'm waiting for your research results, you Vegapunk bastard."

Caesar turned around, threw out another wooden box, and then left quickly.

"This is a superhuman mechanical fruit, and it is also the fruit I want to eat. But now it is impossible. Only the power of nature can let me escape from here."

"Don't let this fruit go to waste, Vegapunk!"

Caesar walked out of the laboratory door and turned into a wisp of gas smoke and disappeared in the wind.

"Hey, Caesar..."

Vegapunk looked at the wooden box in his hand again and again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Vegapunk understood that Caesar's conflicts and contradictions with him were only because he was superior to him and had a negative attitude towards his research direction.

Caesar always wanted to do something and show off in front of himself.

But on a deeper level, it was the mutual respect between the scientists. After all, the two did not have any deep hatred.

"Good luck, Caesar..."

Vegapunk hummed darkly.

Faced with the approaching warships, Vegapunk did not panic at all, but continued to organize his experimental materials and a large amount of experimental data.

"Don't throw these things away. It won't take too long..."

Vegapunk whispered, his hands moving non-stop.

Above the island, a ray of golden light broke through the sky and landed on the island.

"Dr. Vegapunk, he should be here..."

The wretched monkey arrived at the destination first.

……

The next day, the World Economic News published an article: Dr. Vegapunk, an outstanding talent of the World Government, was kidnapped by gangsters and later rescued by our Navy Rear Admiral Borsalino. The gangsters have all been shot dead.
