One Piece's Strongest Ice Dragon

Chapter 684

Only those who have lost their freedom will understand how beautiful freedom is

Vegapunk was free before, but lost his freedom after the World Government disbanded his and Vince Mock Gage's laboratory.

The world government has taken a fancy to his ongoing research, and the birth of the pacifist is the product of this research.In order to gain more power, Vegapunk was forced to do work he didn't like.It can be seen from the design drawings he created in the future country when he was young, what he wants to be is a scientist who can improve the living environment of the people and strive for a better life for ordinary people, rather than researching weapons.

It is precisely because of this unwillingness that Vegapunk will take a different approach and try to peek at the Antonio family's trump card, the legendary ancient weapon, the "King of Heaven", to regain freedom for himself

Then...he was controlled even worse

This is such a sad story...

Ivy is not Roya. She doesn't have any systematic knowledge of dragon slaying magic. Except for some basic magic power usage, most of the time, the power she uses is a kind of "rune magic" inherited from blood.

Creatures like giant dragons are born with powers that ordinary creatures cannot match, mysterious, powerful, and noble.

At first, it was because some giant dragons lived alone, and the cubs left behind were not systematically studied, and they were very weak and unable to protect themselves.Later, it gradually evolved into a unique way of inheritance, engraving this rune magic in the blood.

People who don't have dragon blood try to open the seal, and the end result is like Vegapunk...who is backlashed by the rune magic in the seal and becomes a slave for life, to be driven by his master.

Compared to simply killing the peepers, this behavior is undoubtedly worse... It continues Ivy's consistent style.

As the successor of Ivy's half body, Roya certainly learned this kind of rune magic.It's just that he was not well integrated with the body of the dragon before, so he couldn't use those powerful rune magic.

To the greatest extent, the power of blood and plague was fused into it to create two death knights, Ulysses and Crocodile.

Now that he has returned from a breakthrough, he can finally use the rune magic that Ivy praised in his inherited memory.

Of course, facing the seal set by Ivy during her heyday, this still requires a little help...

......

"Are these the scales of the King of Heaven?"

Looking at the thing in Loya's hand, Bega Punk lowered his head to observe carefully.It exudes energy fluctuations as deep as the sea. Even a simple clerk can feel it clearly.

Looking through the knowledge he had, Vegapunk expressed shock.It's hard to imagine what kind of powerful creature it is that can fill such a huge amount of energy into one scale.

Just as he bent down, a box fell out of the large down jacket and hit the ground.

It was a palm-sized rectangular iron box, with a button and several signal lights on the upward side.At this moment, the box was emitting green smoke, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.Not long after, the green indicator light flickered a few times, and with a sound of "Bi Bo", the operation stopped completely.

Seeing this, Vegapunk froze for a moment, then unzipped the down jacket, and took out a bunch of iron boxes of the same model from his arms.

"That Silence Fruit transfer experiment?"

Drago served as Vegapunk's personal "guard" many years ago, so he has naturally seen this thing.At that time, the prototype of this thing was still huge, but now it has been shrunk down to a palm.

"Yes, thanks to this"

Hearing the memories in Dorag's tone, Bega Punk said with some emotion: "Thanks to your reminder many years ago... Sure enough, those guys who were monitoring me have learned to be domineering. If not, I really can’t escape from this.”

The day before yesterday, that

The maid who was killed was actually not a spy sent by the Five Old Stars, but an intelligence agent that Dorag stayed in Mariejoia many years ago.

Over the years, this intelligence agent has not delivered any information to the outside world, so he was safely selected into the Antonio family and became a maid.

The only time she passed information was when she was killed that day, and told him the plan of herself and others through a code word that only Vegapunk and Dorag could decipher.

But even with the secret code, the old man in black robe noticed a problem and shot him dead on the spot.

In order to save Vegapunk, Drago paid for a dark son who had been lurking for many years and even penetrated into the Antonio family, and a person with the ability to imitate the fruit who was willing to take risks and replaced Vegapunk's appearance.

Funkley's death in Alabasta was not meaningless. His death allowed the Mimicry Fruit to come to light and participate in the important plan to save Vegapunk...

It's not that the two of them didn't think about asking Loja to ask someone directly, but Loya knew better that as long as the rune was still in Vegapunk's hands for a day, he would not be absolutely free.

Moreover, that rune is controlled by Silla and Carlo. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, as long as Silla finds something is wrong, he can immediately remotely control the rune to explode and completely kill Vegapunk.

That’s why they went to such great lengths to steal Vegapunk from under Silla’s noses...

......

"Okay, let's stop talking. Seize the time to solve the problem, and then start our plan."

Loya pinched the scale and stretched out his hand to Bega Punk: "...it will hurt a little, can you bear it?"

Vegapunk, who rolled up his sleeves, saw this posture and blinked in confusion: "How about... I'll give you an injection of anesthetic first."

"Forget it, it's just a burn..."

Loya was talking, pinched Vegapunk's arm, and then "snapped" the scale and patted it on the black rune on his wrist.

Then......

"Ah it hurts"

Suddenly, cold sweat dripped from Vegapunk's forehead, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. It was because he bit his lip unconsciously.

While shaking, Vegapunk asked: "As promised...what's the extent of the burn?"

"Oh, it's the degree of burns."

With a smile on the corner of Loya's mouth, he used magic power to pull the power in the scales, winding them around the runes.

"But didn't you know that burns...are also graded?"

"I......."

Of course Vegapunk knew that burns were graded, but what should he say? Isn’t the burn in ordinary communication the level of boiling water?

At this level, it's basically like putting your hands in the lava and rinsing them.

Moreover, if it is a truly severe burn, the skin tissue will have been cooked by the high temperature, and there will be no nerve reflexes, so it will not be so painful.

The situation he is facing now is that under the premise of incomparable clarity, the pain like a high temperature burn is clearly engraved in his mind...

"I......"

Vegapunk twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, wanting to say something, but suddenly rolled his eyes and lay down on the table.

He passed out...

Scientists are not soldiers after all. With this level of pain, not to mention war-torn soldiers, even those pirates who just want to enjoy themselves can grit their teeth and persevere.But for a scientist like Vegapunk, this is an unbearable burden in his life...

Looking at the unconscious Vegapunk, Dorag shuddered. He didn't know if he was blown by the cold wind in the ice field...
