Devil fruit in comics

Chapter 128 Stark Industries Fair
Queens, New York, Flushing.

It had been a month since Roger had been back in New York.

After returning to New York, he handed over the task of digging the keel to Daniel Iron Fist.

Afterwards, the cultivation of the Zhenzhen fruit and physical fitness began.

Compared with other devil fruits, the physical requirements of the tremor fruit are not generally high.

Even with his extraordinary physique, he almost got himself internally injured in the process of cultivation.

This also made him look forward to the corpse of the dragon buried underground in New York.

At night, after today's practice, Roger brought Daisy in a black dress to Flushing.

Tonight is the opening meeting of the Stark Industries Expo.

Half a month ago, he received an invitation letter from Tony, inviting him to come to the opening ceremony.

"Mr. Wayne, hello, I'm Chrissy, a reporter from the Daily Bugle, can I interview you with a few questions?"

As soon as Roger got off his car, a blond female reporter broke through the protection of the security guards and came in front of him.

"Sorry, it's not very convenient at the moment."

After looking at the female reporter's figure and appearance, Roger politely refused her interview and walked straight into the building.

"Are people all this crazy now?"

After entering the building, Daisy looked back at the crowd outside and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"This is the Stark Industry Expo. Companies from all over the world will exhibit their latest technological products and inventions at the Expo. The inventions that appear here are likely to lead a new era."

Roger looked at the dense crowd below and explained.

Although they all participated in the opening ceremony of the expo, the invitation letter he received was completely different from the admission tickets received by ordinary people below.

Ordinary people can only stay in the square below the stage, waiting for Tony to appear just like attending a celebrity concert.

Capitalists like Roger and the others can enter the building next to the stage and watch the opening ceremony condescendingly.

Simply put, it is the difference between VIP seats and ordinary seats.

Roger is not the only one who has received this kind of invitation. Many well-known entrepreneurs have received invitations from Stark Industries.

Among them is Norman Osborn's Osborne Enterprises.

Even Hanmer Industries, which has been competing with Stark Industries for military orders, also received an invitation letter.

Of course, the CEO of Hammer Industries, Justin Hammer, should not come to the opening ceremony.

In fact, Stark Industries has shut down the weapons division since Tony settled the Obadiah affair.

So strictly speaking, Stark Industries and Hammer Industries no longer need to compete for military orders.

After waiting in the building for more than ten minutes, Roger witnessed Tony's extremely arrogant appearance.

I saw Tony, who was wearing Mark 4, jumped off the plane and flew towards the stage like a shooting star across the night sky.

Then came a classic superhero drop, amidst a group of female dancers in hot pants and short T-shirts.

This debut is really in line with Tony's character!

After landing on the stage, the mechanical arm hidden under the stage disassembled the Mark 4, revealing Tony wearing a staring suit inside.

"I didn't say that the long-term peace in the world has been maintained for many years because of me, and I didn't say that no one in the world was born like a phoenix like me!"

"I didn't even say that the reason why the U.S. government can calmly face threats is because I have always maintained my peak condition, and no one is my opponent!"

Listening to Tony speaking proudly on the stage, Roger can be sure that this speech was definitely prepared by Tony himself.

"I am not important, you are not important, we are not important, what is important is inheritance!"

"What should we leave for the future..."

Tony's speech continued, but Roger's eyes were on a man off the stage.

This man, wearing an unfashionable long black trench coat, completely wrapped his body.

Although he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, Roger saw something wrong in him.

The audience off the stage are now cheering for Tony like fanatical fans.

Only this man remained calm and approached the stage a little bit.

Roger sensed this man with his knowledge and arrogance, but he didn't find any breath of life in him that was different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people?
Although the information fed back by the knowledgeable domineering is ordinary people, Roger doesn't think so.

There is something wrong with the figure of this man.

Just when Tony "invited" his deceased father Howard, and Howard's speech was played on the screen on the stage, the man came to the bottom of the stage under Roger's gaze, and looked up at Tony on the stage. .

Tony noticed this strange man.

However, in the next second, a long whip wrapped in electric current was thrown directly at Tony on the stage.

laugh!
The white electric whip attacked Tony like a sharp blade.

The moment the long whip hit him, Tony reacted decisively and immediately stepped back.

However, he still underestimated this electric whip.

Although he retreated from the attack distance of the electric whip, the electric current on the whip hit his chest like lightning.

The Ark reactor on Tony's chest attracted the whip's current.

Damn!

Just when Tony thought he was about to be hit by the electric current, a figure shining with golden light appeared in front of him, blocked the electric current that was attacking him, and grabbed the long whip of electric current.

Yata Mirror!
Roger, who was still in the building, immediately came in front of Tony with the Yata mirror, and helped him block the attack of Whip Ivan Vanke.

The moment he saw the electric whip, Roger recognized the identity of Ivan Vanke.

Among Tony's many enemies, Ivan Vanke is not the most powerful one, but he is definitely the one with the most origins.

After all, among so many enemies of Tony, Ivan Vanke is the only one who made a small ark reactor.

Even Obadiah failed to do this.

When the golden light dissipated completely, Roger's figure appeared in front of Ivan Vanke.

"Roger Wayne?"

Ivan Vanke recognized Roger immediately, with a serious look on his face.

At the same time, the windbreaker on his body began to shatter, revealing the crude whip armor on his body.

In order to deal with Tony, Ivan Vanke did a lot of homework.

Roger, who had fought against Tony, naturally appeared in his attention.

Roger did not answer Ivan Vanke, and raised his left hand.

His right hand was still in an elemental form at this moment, grabbing the current whip that was running wildly.

Laser light!

The laser-like golden ray accurately hit the long whip, breaking the electric whip in Ivan Vanke's hand without any suspense.

After breaking the electric whip caught by his right hand, Roger didn't stop attacking, and fired laser light at the other whip.

call out!
In less than two seconds, all the electric whips in Ivan Vanke's hands were broken, and he lost all his weapons.

The crudeness of Ivan Vanke's whip armor is not only reflected in the protective performance, but also the weapons.

These two electric whips are the only weapons of the mourning whip armor.

After the electric whip was broken, Ivan Vanke simply chose to surrender.

Although Roger hasn't attacked him much yet, he is very aware of the huge gap in strength between himself and Roger.

Since you can't win, there's no need to ask for trouble.

Although Ivan Vanke gave up his resistance, Roger did not let him go so easily.

I saw him jumping lightly, and instantly came to Ivan Vanke from the stage, his golden right hand grabbed the Ark reactor on the mourning whip armor.

Although the Ark reactor used by Ivan Vanke is a counterfeit product, the speed and efficiency are not high.

But it cannot be denied that this is a very good knockoff, a portable small power output device that is only inferior to Tony's genuine Ark reactor.

When Roger took down the Ark reactor on Ivan Vanke's chest, the surrounding security guards rushed forward and pressed Ivan Vanke to the ground.

The small commotion caused by Ivan Vanke subsided quickly.

Those who were not able to enter the main venue were not even aware of the attack.

In a room in the building next to the stage, Roger and Tony sat face to face without saying a word.

On the table in front of them was the reactor that Roger had just removed from Ivan Vanke.

Besides the two of them, Happy and Daisy were also in the room.

However, they sat far away on the other side of the room.

After the atmosphere of silence lasted for a few minutes, Roger said slowly: "The Ark reactor is not your exclusive invention now, what are you going to do with him?"

Although Tony's Mark series steel suit has many black technologies, the most important ones are a few systems such as the energy system and the operating system.

"I'm now curious as to where exactly his Ark reactor technology came from."

"Even in Stark Industries, there are only a small number of researchers who have access to relevant information."

"After that battle, I sealed all the information on the Ark reactor."

"No one has access to this material except me."

Tony's face is full of doubts now.

After experiencing what happened to Obadiah, he has been deeply aware of the potential hazards of the Ark reactor.

But now, the last thing he wanted to see happened.

To make things even more troublesome, Ivan Vanko picked the perfect time to bring the world to notice that he had the technology to miniaturize the Ark reactor.

"He is now in the hands of the police. If you want to see him, it will not be difficult."

Since Tony appeared in the image of Iron Man and showed the excellent combat performance of the steel suit on the battlefield, various countries and companies have started the research and development of the steel suit.

It's just that so far, no country or company has developed a steel suit that can be used in actual combat.

Among them, the suit technology is on the one hand, and energy is on the other.

Leaving aside the weapons and flying skills of the steel suit, the energy required by the suit alone is a headache for countless people.

And now, another person who has mastered the miniaturization technology of the Ark reactor has appeared.

If Ivan Vanke is willing to sell finished reactors on the black market, or sell the technology to other countries, he could become a newly minted billionaire at any moment.

After thinking for a few minutes, Tony finally decided to go see Ivan Vanke.

Although Ivan Vanke is currently being detained by the police, it is not difficult for him to meet him legally.

When Tony went to the police station, Roger took Daisy back to the apartment where he lived.

Although the appearance of Ivan Vanke was beyond his expectation, it was not a particularly serious problem.

Compared with Ivan Vanke, who only wanted to trouble Tony, he didn't have a more important matter to deal with.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded, those guys in the White House were thinking about how to properly deal with superhumans like Roger.

After months of back and forth, the White House finally made a decision.

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s method of dealing with superhumans is to observe, judge, and imprison them.

And the decision made by the White House is to include people with superpowers into the military system, making people with superpowers one of the official forces.

For this decision of the White House, some people agree with it, and some people oppose it.

As a result, the matter came to the hearing link that is popular again.

Senate Armed Services Committee!
Roger is not the only one who wants to attend this hearing.

As far as he knew, the former Captain America Steve Rogers, who had no idea where he was going, was also one of the attendees.

Of course, whether the subpoena can be issued to Rogers is a question.

In fact, in addition to his need to attend this hearing, Tony is heading to Washington tomorrow to attend another hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Similar to his hearing, the hearing Tony participated in was about whether Iron Man needs to be included in the military system.

He originally planned to discuss the hearing with Tony to see if Tony was still the unruly genius he remembered who would refute the Senate face to face.

But he didn't expect that Ivan Vanke would appear tonight.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Roger arrived in Washington on time.

Just as he was about to enter the Capitol, he saw Tony wearing sunglasses outside the Capitol.

Before he could speak, Tony's voice came first.

"You wouldn't sell yourself to the military, would you?"

"I never sell my body!"

Roger replied with a smile.

Although it was just a simple sentence, he already knew Tony's decision.

Apparently, Tony thought the same as him.

"After the hearing is over, let's go eat a barbecue. I know a new Turkish barbecue has opened nearby, and I heard it's pretty good." Tony continued.

"it is good!"
