Pirate's Fire Dragon's Claw

Chapter 389 Letter from Vegapunk
On this day, Glenn returned from destroying a revolutionary fleet in the East China Sea, returned to his residence, lay down on the bed and prepared to rest

"squeak~"

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door. Glenn opened his eyes and glanced at the door. When he found that it was Laya who walked in, he closed his eyes again.

Laya walked to the bed, picked up the coat that Glenn threw on the bed and hung it on the hanger, then sat on the edge of the bed and lifted Glenn's head to her lap, placing her hands on both sides of Glenn's head , began to massage Glenn's head slowly

"Did it go well this time?"

Glenn closed his eyes and enjoyed Laya's massage, giving a slight "hmm"

After that, Laya didn't ask any more questions, but just gently massaged Glenn's head. When Glenn was about to fall asleep, Laya suddenly pinched Glenn's nose. After a few seconds, his breathing was stopped. The blocked Glenn woke up, shook his head and shook Laya's hand away, staring at Laya with resentful eyes
"hey-hey"

Laya stuck out her tongue mischievously, took out an envelope and slapped Glenn on the face
"There is a letter from you"

"letter?"

Glenn was stunned, and took the envelope off his face. It did say Glenn received it, but it didn't say who the sender was. Glenn opened the envelope and asked Laya
"Who sent you the letter?"

"Nat sent it, saying it was a letter from Dr. Vegapunk to you"

"Vegapunk? Why did he send me a letter?"

Now Glenn is even more confused

After opening the envelope, there were only a few photos inside and no letter
Glenn took a look at the photos. These photos were taken of an island, an island taken from various angles

This is a small island, and there is only one town on the island. Outside the town, there are either garbage dumps or dense forests, and this town has been completely deserted. From the photos, it can be seen that there was a very violent incident in this town. Fighting, many houses have been turned into ruins, and there are still many broken skeletons on the streets
Glenn looked at the photos one by one, and his brows began to wrinkle. Seeing Glenn's expression, Laya looked down at the photos in Glenn's hands curiously.

"What is this place?"

"It's my hometown"

"Ah? Your hometown? Why is it so dilapidated?"

"A few years ago, Kaido sent Jack to arrest people in order to experiment with man-made devil fruits, so the place was destroyed like this, and it became an uninhabited island. I was brought back to Kaido's territory at that time, Forced to eat a devil fruit, and then had a grudge with Kaido"

"Oh, so that's the case, why did Vegapunk send you these photos?"

glen shook his head
"do not know"

Glenn flipped through the photos one by one, and the last photo was not the scene on the island, but a vast sea. Glenn frowned, and really didn't understand what Vegapunk meant. , he decided to meet Vegapunk in person tomorrow

The next day, Glenn took those photos to Vegapunk's laboratory and found Vegapunk who was working
After seeing Glenn coming, Vegapunk smiled and pointed to a chair next to him and said:

"Come on, sit down for a while, wait for me to finish debugging this, soon"

Glenn walked up to Vegapunk and sat down. Vegapunk was fiddling with a strange machine in his hand. The machine looked like the kind of machine that scans codes in supermarkets.

Glenn was waiting beside Vegapunk, and he was not in a hurry. A few minutes later, Vegapunk seemed to have finished adjusting the machine in his hand, and turned to Glenn and said:

"can you help me?"

"What are you busy with?"

Vegapunk shook the machine in his hand
"Help me test it"

"How to test?"

"It's very simple, this is a machine for testing energy, can't you control the fire, just release a fireball"

"All right"

Glenn nodded, turned his right hand into a beast, and slowly gathered a fireball on his right hand

Vegapunk took the machine in his hand and swept the fireball in Glenn's hand. He seemed not very satisfied with the result, and asked Glenn again:
"Can you make Fireball stronger? I want to test the limits of this machine"

Glenn felt a little strange, but he nodded and injected more flames into the fireball in his hand, and the fireball became brighter obviously

Vegapunk frowned.
"continue"

Glenn added some more flames, and the fireball became brighter

But Vegapunk still seems a little dissatisfied

"Go on, use your best"

Glenn gave Vegapunk a strange look

"Are you sure? If you do your best, the laboratory will be gone if you accidentally accidentally"

"determine"

Now that Vegapunk said so, Glenn no longer hesitated, and began to release the flames with all his strength. The fireball in his palm became brighter and brighter, and finally it was like a small sun. If Glenn hadn't controlled it , I'm afraid that just the escaping temperature can burn down the instruments in the laboratory

"Drip~"

At this time, the machine in Vegapunk's hand made a harsh "didi" sound, and Vegapunk nodded in satisfaction

"OK"

Glenn then slowly retracted the flames into his body

Vegapunk put the machine on the table casually, turned to Glenn and said:

"You came to me because of those photos?"

Glenn nodded, took out the photos and put them on the table
"Well, why are you sending me these pictures?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you a few questions."

"Then you ask"

Vegapunk smiles

"wait a minute"

Said Vegapunk stood up and clapped his hands, all the other experimenters in the room looked at Vegapunk

"You all go out, no one is allowed to come near here without my permission"

"Yes"

The experimenters responded and walked out of the room one by one

Vegapunk's behavior made Glenn feel very strange. After everyone left, Vegapunk sat down again, smiled and said to Glenn:

"Are you wondering why you kicked them all out?"

Glenn nodded, and Vegapunk explained:
"It's simple, I don't want others to hear our conversation"

glen frowned

"What are you trying to say to me?"

Vegapunk thought about it

"I said straight to the point, the current world government is actually controlled by your pirate group, right? Timonis is just a puppet."

Glenn's brows furrowed even tighter. He looked at the smiling Vegapunk, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and admitted.

"Yes"

Vegapunk looks a bit surprised

"I thought I would have to work hard to get you to admit it, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."

"So? What do you want to do, expose us?"

Vegapunk shook his head
"Of course not. It has nothing to do with me who controls the world government. I'm just curious. I want to know how you control Timonis. As far as I know, she is a very difficult person to control."

Glenn thought about it, and told about the soul exchange between Timonis and the female pirate on the empty island. Vegapunk said with emotion after listening:

"So that's how it is, devil fruit is really a magical thing."

"You came to me to ask about this?"

Vegapunk shakes his head

"No, no, this is just one of the small things, I have more important things to ask you"

"Say"

"Emmm, since you are in control of the world government now, then it can be said that the evolution of the world's structure into what it is now can be said to be caused by you alone."

glen thought about it

"You're right to say that, it was indeed caused by me, so what?"

Vegapunk shakes his head

"not so good"

Then he picked up the photos he had sent to Glenn on the table and shook them at Glenn.

"Do you have any questions about these photos?"

"doubt?"

Glenn thought for a while, then nodded, and pulled out the last photo in Vegapunk's hand, which was the one full of sea water

"What does this photo mean? Could it be that you sent it by mistake?"

Vegapunk shook his head with a smile

"Of course it wasn't a mistake, I haven't made any mistakes in my life"

Glenn shakes the photo between two fingers

"Then this is?"

Vegapunk pointed to the remaining photos in his hand
"This is the island where you lived from the age of 8 to 16, right? After that, you were captured by Jack to help them experiment with man-made devil fruits, and then you were forced to eat the current devil fruit, and then you started your road to rise."

"yes"

Vegapunk took the photo in Glenn's hand, holding the photo full of sea water in one hand, and the remaining photos in the other

"What you're actually most curious about is why I'd put such a meaningless photo of sea water next to a photo of the island where you lived between the ages of 8 and 16, right?"

"yes"

From the photo in his left hand, Vegapunk took out a photo of the whole island taken from a high altitude, and held the photo full of sea water in his right hand

"Actually, these two photos were taken in the same place, but at different times"

"what?"

Glenn frowned tightly, and Vegapunk continued:
"This photo full of sea water is also a panoramic photo of the island, but it was taken recently. In other words, the island you used to live on has disappeared."

Glenn was taken aback for a moment, then remembered Punk Hazard who was sunk by him, so he asked:

"Was it sunk by someone?"

Vegapunk shakes his head

"No, you also know that there is actually an uninhabited island there, no one approaches it at all, and no one goes there to cause damage or anything, it just disappeared out of thin air"

Glenn became more confused the more he listened, and asked with a frown:
"How could such a large island disappear out of thin air?"

"Emmm, it's actually not completely disappearing out of thin air. Before the island disappeared, I detected a momentary distortion in the space there. I think this may be the reason for its disappearance."

"Space warping?"

Glenn became more and more confused as he listened, at this time Vegapunk stared at Glenn closely
"This is actually the real reason why I came to you. Next, I want to ask you a very important question. I hope you can answer me seriously."

glen nods

"Okay, you can ask"

"You are not from this world, are you?"
