Silver Theorem

【Chapter of S?T?RUBY】CH25-2

"Sorry, Kakusan, even if you say so, I'm still going."

Mia raised an eyebrow at Kaku.

"It means...you don't believe what I'm saying?"

Kaku let out a chuckle.

"It's not a question of whether you believe it or not. I made an appointment with someone else, and I can't die..." Mia looked directly at Kaku: "So no matter what is ahead, even if it is the Temple of Yama, the sea of ​​swords and hell, I will go for it ! If you don’t try, you will get nothing... But to be honest, I just want to see how far I can go.”

Watching Mia's expression gradually change from a fearlessness driven by pure courage to a slightly excited self-confidence, with some indescribable aura, Kaku knew that he could no longer stop her, so his good intentions were just like that. The water is gone.

"So... DR? Vegapunk is indeed in the depths of the forest." He said, "But I didn't lie about one thing, that is, the navy has deployed troops in front, and...that guy will be there too. .”

"That rascal?"

Mia thought to herself, judging by Kaku's tone, the person he was referring to should only be...

But Kaku didn't point it out in the end: "...Then, let's leave it alone."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the direction Mia came from.

"Kakusan, you..."

"It's a violation of the order for me to appear here. I can't stay here anymore to save my life..." He turned his back to Mia and waved: "Good luck~"

"Yes." Mia's firm voice came: "We will definitely meet again."

Kaku lowered the brim of his hat and walked on silently.

-------------------------------------------------- ------

Mia shuttled through the forest, and after meeting Kaku, she had some new questions in her mind:

DR? How did Vegapunk know that she was going to find him? Is there really a connection between them that she didn't realize?Moreover, he was still waiting for her! ?Even if he really knows that Mia will go, it should be more reasonable as Kaku said, there is no need for him to show up in person.And what about the deployment of the Navy...

However, whatever the reasons for this, she had no choice.

The moment he walked out of the path in the forest, his vision suddenly opened up.A large piece of bare land appeared in front of me, and a building with a strange shape was about 2 meters ahead. It must be the so-called temporary research institute...

Although the research institute was not far away, Mia found that the person he was looking for was actually closer.

In front of him was a large machine, with a hemispherical operating room supported by two "legs" made of steel. In the operating room was a man in a dirty white coat, wearing a huge suit that did not match his age. A skinny uncle with a curvy head, two large glasses occupy almost 2/3 of his face.

"Hey hey hey~~"

The uncle let out a shrill laugh.

"I finally see you, Silver Ghost..."

There is no doubt that this weird scientist is...

Mia stretched out her index finger and pointed at the other party: "Are you... DR.GERO!? (from "Dragon Ball")"

"Bastard! Are you cursing me to be killed by the artificial man you made!?" The uncle was furious.

Mia: "NICE Tucao!"

Uncle: "Damn it! I've been fooled!~~"

"DR? Vegapunk, what are you doing?"

A cold female voice came.Mia followed the reputation and saw that in the open space on the left of DR Vegapunk, a beautiful officer with long pink hair was leading about 100 marines with live ammunition ready to go.

"Heishina..." Mia silently recited the name of the female navy.

"Yo, I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Xiao Mia~"

Hina puffed out contemptuously.

"DR," she yelled at the geek scientist, "because you said you wanted to see that girl, so we will fully cooperate with you, but... that child is a dangerous element, in case anything happens... well, we are here support you."

It's support, it's more like surveillance... Mia thought, no matter how powerful DR Vegapunk is, the navy wouldn't be willing to let him have contact with the government's wanted criminal.Moreover, isn't the so-called "accident" also decided by the navy, they have a reason to attack her at any time.In this case, how can I convince DR? Vegapunk to treat me...

"Little girl~ Thank you for your kindness..." Vegapunk's glasses reflected white light, and being in that weird machine made him feel eerie.

"But there is no room for you to appear here~" He then said to Hina: "This is... between me and that little girl~"

Xina glanced at him displeasedly: "DR, I advise you to be careful, Xina will always be here on standby."

Mia looked at the sailors who had retreated to the second line, and it seemed that DR Vegapunk was really good at it, even the rebellious and strong Xina could only swallow her anger.

"You should come here to ask for something from me, Silver Ghost?"

DR? Vegapunk said.

"Why... do you know so much about me?"

Mia replied, did he really see through it?

Vegapunk showed a treacherous smile, and his mouth that almost reached the ears made people wonder if he was human:

"It's so disappointing, you really don't remember me...?"

"What did you say……!"

Mia was startled, no way...

"Hey hey hey...but...I haven't forgotten you for a day~ so when I saw your photo before, I was happy for a long time~~ I was happy to take @#$ as %*&add I went inside #￥#~~”

"What are you...what are you talking about? What's going on!?"

Mia looked fierce, staring at the scientist who was talking to himself.

"Don't pretend to be any more... Do you really not remember my voice?"

his voice? ...something deep in Mia's memory was suddenly awakened, this voice...yes, she had heard it...because she couldn't forget anything, so she clearly remembered when she heard this voice ...

"Impossible... Could it be that you were...?!"

When she was a toddler who didn't understand anything, the researchers who cruelly used her as a live experiment...the voice at that time overlapped with Vegapunk's.

"It seems that you have had a good life in the past ten years, my dear experiment!!"

Vegapunk raised his arms high, excited.

Hina on the side was a little annoyed: "What's going on? Xiao Mia is DR's experiment?"

"You bastard... have you ruined my life so badly!?" Mia clenched her fists tightly. She really didn't expect to meet the culprit who made her have that unbearable memory here. No wonder No matter how much she investigated before, she couldn't find it. Dr. Vegapunk's actions were all protected by the government top secret.

"Waste?... You should thank me!" Vegapunk raised his voice: "The longest lifespan of a half-mermaid is 16 years, do you understand? This is the 'longest'. On average, this time is only 12 years. It's been about [-] years! Why do you think you can live to this day?!...It's thanks to me..."

He leaned half out of the operating room, and Mia took a half step back in disgust.

"We strengthened your body while carrying out various experiments, otherwise do you really think you have the ability to be active in the sea as the so-called 'silver ghost'!? But..."

He changed the subject: "You are really an excellent experimental subject that has never been seen before... Some studies will be more effective if you directly use humans to experiment, but human experiments are a crime... But, 'fish' doesn't matter~"

"you……"

Mia felt a surge of anger that she had never felt before.

"The half-merman's physical characteristics are almost the same as that of human beings when they transform into human form. It's just that such precious experimental materials are really difficult to obtain. Moreover, the most important thing is that the experiment of devil fruit seems to be successful...so I thought I was really sad when you died, I cried a lot~ ah~ I want to use her to do more experiments~... Really, what a pity..."

The gloomy and distorted voice, his attitude of contempt for other life in order to achieve his own goals made Mia sick.

"However... you dare to escape for me! What do you think you are? Your humble life can only play its greatest role in my laboratory and make greater contributions to the progress of mankind!! "

"You...how did you know it was me...?"

Mia resisted the urge to rush up and beat Vegapunk, and asked, "I was only 3 or 4 years old at the time, how could you recognize me now?"

"Because... I'm the same as you..." Vegapunk's glasses became transparent, and a pair of empty eyes showed their original appearance: "I also...'never forget'."

"!!"

"Why do you think I'm called a 'genius', because I can memorize all the knowledge in my head after just reading it once... Hehehehe... We are all chosen by God~...No, You are decisively different from me, I am the one who manipulates everything, and you... are only worthy of being my experimental subject!!"

Vegapunk pointed at Mia with an extremely excited expression.

Finally... I understand everything... Mia clenched her fists. A large part of her life up to this point is actually due to this person.It's no wonder the navy knew of her fruit ability in advance.

"But I'm a kind person..." Vegapunk said again: "If you can defeat me, I'll grant one of your wishes, how about it?"

"Fulfill my wish? Do you really think you are omnipotent?" Mia sneered.

"Almost ~ this is a favor I bestowed on you. Of course, in turn... If you lose, you have to obediently follow me back to the lab again, but it also depends on whether you are still alive at that time, huh Hehehe..."

"what on earth do you want……"

"I just want to see... how far my beloved little experimental fish has grown~" Vegapunk did not hide his intention at all. He expected Mia to lose, but even if she died, he would Can use this battle to collect enough experimental data...

Mia sneered twice, and started to move her wrist: "You have to mean what you say, DR...just me and you, the navy over there can't interfere."

"It's natural~"

Hina didn't make any comments, just smoked in silence.She held out her arm, signaling the navy behind her to go off alert.

Finally came the final battle, Mia licked her lips, she was completely irritated... She punched her fists together... She said in her heart, I must hold on, my body, this is the end, beat that guy, Let yourself live... close your eyes, and think of Ace, Whitebeard, Nina... the faces of many people she cherishes, and finally Shanks' smile.

Opening her eyes, Mia pointed at Vegapunk:

"Then you are the final boss? Huh... I can kill you with frozen mushrooms and hot peppers! DR. Zombie King! (from "Plants vs. Zombies")"

"Why did I become Dr. Zombie King again!!??" Vegapunk hugged his head.

Blue veins appeared on Xina's head: "What are they doing... Xina can't take it anymore~"

"In short, let the horse come over!"

Mia was ready to face the battle, but Vegapunk just showed an unclear smile:

"It's a pity, it's rare that you are so enthusiastic, but your opponent is not me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall black figure appeared between Mia and Vegapunk without any warning, without even making a sound.

"You...you are..."

Mia looked up at the black shadow, dumbfounded.
