Pirates: The Fourth Scourge

Chapter 189 Vegapunk's Plan

In less than half a minute, Hai Bing handed a phone bug to Zhan Guo.

"Marshal of the Warring States."

Hannibal's voice rang from the phone bug, and the noise that came out at the same time was exactly the same as what Sengoku heard now. After all, Hannibal is now at the port of Marin Fando.

Warring States raised his head, looked at Hannibal on the coast, and slowly asked, "What happened in the city of Jinjin?"

"This." Hannibal hesitated a bit, "The City of Advancement has fallen, and the prisoners on the sixth floor have been released."

"What did you say!?" Zhan Guo felt a headache and almost fainted, "Who did it?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

"It may be related to the Straw Hats, or someone else may have invaded the city." Hannibal whispered. As for another question from Sengoku, he automatically ignored it because he didn't dare to answer it.

"other people?"

"It's Blackbeard. Blackbeard followed the Straw Hat kid to the city not long after."

"No wonder Blackbeard couldn't contact him later." A figure appeared in Zhan Guo's mind.

"Yes, he brought his own pirate group to invade, but he was dealt with by the warden a few times, but he himself and another guy who can fly still ran away, and it was because of the invasion of Blackbeard that we didn't I'll just ignore the Straw Hats." Hannibal said with a guilty conscience.

In fact, it wasn't that they didn't have time to pay attention to the Straw Hats, but that they were completely played around by the Straw Hats, and they ran away without even seeing the Straw Hats.

"What about the Magellanics now?"

"The warden stayed in the promotion city alone. He used his awakening ability, so we had to evacuate the promotion city."

"Awakening." Zhan Guo murmured, "Then the prisoners in Jinjin City must not all be poisoned to death by him?"

"It's better than being escaped by all those people."

"Okay, I got it!" Zhan Guo said in a deep voice, "You guys stay at the port and deal with the nearby pirates."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Guocai sighed heavily and held his forehead helplessly.

Unexpectedly, at the end of his career as a marshal, such a serious accident would occur.

"Forget it. I was too careless. I didn't expect that Blackbeard guy would be so bold. Sure enough. The pirate is the existence of the pirate Shichibukai. It is indeed one of my failures." Warring States looked down at the entire battlefield, his face a little ugly.

However, he recovered quickly. After all, it was still during the war. As a commander in chief, he couldn't express his thoughts on his face.

"Proceed with the order! Start implementing the second step of the plan!"

Warring States turned around, looked down at Chuanling Haibing and said.

"Yes!" The messenger saluted the sea soldier.

Afterwards, he dialed the phone bug again and dialed the number on the upper floor.

He didn't dare to hide this kind of thing.

At this time, at the port, Joelle Bonnie stood on the pirate ship, staring blankly at the scene on the shore of the port.

Bartholomi Kuma, one of the Shichibukai under the king, is fighting a group of pirates.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the execution platform a thousand meters away.

Near the execution platform, the gate of the navy base suddenly opened, and nearly twenty people who looked exactly like Bartholomew Xiong walked out of it.

"Damn... Have you already made it this far!?" Joelle Bonnie's eyes showed sadness.

Suddenly, she jumped off the ice and rushed to the battlefield between Xiong and Luo.

At this time, Luo was struggling against the bear.

This bear is the most powerful enemy he has encountered since he learned to arm himself!Far better than Moonlight Moriah who is also Qiwuhai.

His ability is completely useless against the bear in front of him!Those bear paws can bounce back all his attacks!
Not only that, but the bear with an extremely strong body has a speed so fast that he can hardly detect it!Even so fast that it was close to his teleportation!
If he hadn't been able to achieve real teleportation, he would have been slapped down by Xiong long ago!

Just when Luo was thinking about how to safely evacuate with his companions, he found a young girl thief running towards them.

"Joelly Bonnie? What is she going to do?" Luo was a little puzzled.

And Bartholomew Xiong also stopped moving, watching Bonnie running towards him.

It wasn't until Joelle Bonnie came to a stop less than three meters in front of him that he turned his gaze to other places and stopped looking at Joelle Bonnie.

"Great." Seeing the bear, Joelie Bonnie didn't dare to look directly at her, but instead shed tears of excitement.

"You shouldn't come here, it's not safe here." Xiong, who has always been taciturn, took the initiative to speak to Joelle Bonnie.

"For me, the place with you is the safest place." At this moment, Bonnie completely lost her previous arrogant appearance.

"." Xiong's expression remained unchanged, but the hand holding the book in his left hand tightened.

"Come back with me! Grandma misses you very much!" Bonnie said with a pleading tone.

After all, Xiong's expression changed. He sighed, and a gradually larger ball popped out from the palm of his right hand, enveloping him and Bonnie.

In this case, the sound of their conversation will not be heard.

"You should know what I've been doing all these years. Now that the plan has reached this point, I can't turn back!" Xiong's attitude was very tough, but his tone was no longer so cold.

"But."

"There's nothing to worry about. With my relationship with the Five Old Stars and those pacifists who have close ties with me. As long as I succeed in the transformation, then there will be a place for me in the Navy Headquarters, even the position of a general. You can't fight for it, when the time comes, I will be the perfect undercover agent! Drago's plan can also be perfectly implemented!"

"What if the transformation fails? As you said before, the success rate of transformation is less than ten percent. Once it fails, you will lose all memory and even the most basic personality. At that time, let alone the navy Now, even Vegapunk will probably give up on you completely!"

"I will not fail, I believe in the doctor's ability."

"Is it necessary to do this for those illusory revolutionary ideals? I think you were brainwashed by that guy Drago! You can't even take care of your own country or even your family, so what?" Bonnie was very emotional.

"Enough! You won't understand." Bear interrupted Bonnie.

He lowered his head and looked at Joelle Bonnie. Behind his glasses, there were anger, self-blame, pampering, and a trace of regret in his eyes.

But soon, these emotions disappeared from his eyes, and turned into indifference again.

"Where do you want to travel if you want to travel?"

"No. I'm not going! Father." Bonnie froze for a moment, then immediately realized what the bear was trying to do.

But, it was too late, as soon as Xiong finished speaking, he stretched out his bear paw, and slapped Bonnie flying with his palm.

Immediately, Bonnie's figure was like a fired shell, wrapped in a bear's paw-shaped membrane, and flew high into the sky.

"We...may not meet again."

Xiong raised his head, looked at Bonnie's receding figure, and murmured.

far away.

When it's dark, it looks weird.

Having already covered the entire battlefield with an electric field, he naturally overheard the entire conversation between Bear and Bonnie.

However, what made him look weird was not the father-daughter relationship between Xiong and Bonnie, but what Bonnie said would be the consequences once the transformation failed!
No memory, no personality!
Isn't this what happened to Xiong two years later in the original book?
I'm afraid it is precisely because of this that Xiong went to help the Straw Hats guard the ship for two years after the war, and even became a slave leased by the Tianlong people afterwards.

Because he has failed in transformation and lost his value, he will be completely abandoned and left alone!

"I see. At first, I thought that Xiong's undercover identity leaked and ended up like this. However, this guy has a big heart. A former Qi Wukai actually wants to be a general? Why?" Hei Shi pondered his chin and pondered.

A bright interior.

A man with black half-long curly hair was half lying on a bench, with a cup of hot tea on the table, while he was quietly reading a book.

Suddenly, the indoor wall opened suddenly, and a short old man who looked like five or sixty years old walked out from inside.

"How is the war?" The old man poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked.

"What can it do? It's no different from half an hour ago, but that guy Xiong returned to Marlin Vandor from the city of advancement, and the Warring States reported a very bad news to the World Government." The man replied slowly.

"Very bad news? Could it be that White Beard can rescue Fire Fist Ace?" The old man smiled.

"That's not true. It's about the city of advancement. It is said that the prisoners on the sixth floor of the city of advancement were released, which caused Magellan to use his awakening ability to prevent the prisoners from escaping." The man explained.

"Oh? Is it so serious?" The old man was a little surprised.

"If it's not serious, I won't know the news at the first time."

"It seems that the guy from the Warring States Period will leave the position of Marshal in all likelihood after this war. Even if the World Government doesn't say it directly, he should have no face to continue doing it."

"Probably, if something like this happened, it would be good if the world government didn't hold him accountable, and it would definitely be impossible to continue." The man nodded in agreement.

"In that case, the position of general will definitely be vacant." The old man took another sip of the tea ceremony.

"Well, it will definitely be selected from the three of them. No, it should be two of them. That fellow Polusalino is lazier than me. If he becomes the marshal, I'm afraid the navy will be over."

"What about the other two? Who do you prefer?"

"Sakalski."

"It's the same as I thought. If this is the case, you should also fight for the vacant seat. I will recommend you to them." The old man glanced at the man and said suddenly.

"I'm going to be a general?" The man's originally leisurely face was suddenly startled, "No way, Doctor, do you think I'm suitable for being a general with my personality?"

"I'm very optimistic about you!" Vegapunk smiled, "You also know that I am now under the control of the world government, and many researches can no longer be carried out, and even that guy Polusalino will come to supervise from time to time Me... But if you become a general, it will be completely different, and then, my life design... can be taken out to continue research."

"This" the man frowned, "But, didn't you make an agreement with Xiong before? If he succeeds in the transformation, his strength will definitely rise to another level, and he will definitely not be worse than me by then, right? After all, His fruit ability, even if it is me, I dare not underestimate it."

"Well, you also know that the transformation is successful. But to be honest, I'm not sure about the transformation of the bear! Unlike you, he was a non-devil fruit user before being transformed by me. His soul is pure, even after a My transformation will not affect the soul and personality at all, but he is a devil fruit ability user, and his soul has become a container for demons. As a result, the success rate of transformation is too low. And once the transformation fails." The old man sighed Dao, did not go on.

"In this case... why did he take such a big risk to make this deal with you? Besides, he asked for it on his own initiative, right?" The man was a little shocked when he heard this.

"I don't know. Although his body has been thoroughly studied by me, I have never seen his memory. Perhaps, he also has his own purpose. He is a good template for transforming people, but in itself But it can’t be transformed perfectly.” Vegapunk explained, he paused, and then said, “Moreover, we can’t find a perfect memory metal now, which leads to a lower success rate of the operation, which is almost less than 5.00% .”

"Okay. Well, this guy Xiong is also a poor man. He was so poor in his childhood. He finally helped the country through the difficulties and was forced to become a king. However, he was slandered as a tyrant afterwards and exiled to the sea. pirate."

"In this era, apart from those guys, who can really put all their troubles and sorrows aside? Even if it's me, don't I lose my freedom now?"

"Hahahaha. That's right!" The man laughed boldly.

"Okay, I'm going to continue my research." Vegapunk looked at the clock on the wall and stood up from his seat.

He has so many research results today, not only because he is a genius, but also because of his absolute hard work!

"Hmm." The man nodded.

"By the way, you haven't forgotten what I said just now, have you? Don't try to fool it." Vegapunk turned around suddenly and said.

".All right, all right, isn't he a general? I'll just accept it." The man felt a little helpless.

"Hahaha that's good. In this way, the research I did when I was young should be able to be carried out again." Vegapunk nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked towards the door of the research room.

"By the way, don't just drink tea all day long. Although tea is your source of energy, you still have to eat food. A reformed person is also a human being!"

"Got it, got it." The man waved his hand, urging Vegapunk to leave quickly.

What annoys him the most is that others let him eat, not even Vegapunk.

After all, he is an invincible reformer!
Rice and the like are the food of ordinary people, but he only needs tea!
"By the way, when was the last time you ate? It seems to have been a year. Well, not bad! Keep it up!"
