I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

In fact, when Xie Wen and his team started the first machine, Vegapunk had already discovered their traces, but Xie Wen and his team had been hiding, so he couldn't be sure who they were.

But after observing the actions of the "invisible man" for a while, Vegapunk roughly guessed the identities of Xie Wen and others.

after all……

Apart from the Fenyx Investigation Team, which has a different style from most people, it seems that no one else will not fight or search for their own location at this time, but instead run to Egghead Island to experience the various facilities here.

Vegapunk's view on Xie Wen is completely different from that of the World Government.

First of all, he didn't think it was a big deal that Xie Wen took away his technology.

Because judging from the opponent's current series of actions, even though Xie Wen obtained the technology from Punk Hazard and even Balkimoa, he was very restrained. He neither abused it nor spread it. Instead, he made a lot of improvements that made Vegapunk's eyes shine.

Secondly, Xie Wen’s actions are more in line with Vegapunk’s three views.

Even though he joined the World Government for reasons such as research funding, it did not mean that he was on the same side as the World Government. After visiting Santa Marie Joa, he even felt disgust for the existence of the Celestial Dragons, and Xie Wen showed no mercy when it came to killing them.

The last and most important reason is that he is very interested in the "Cat Fur Tribe" around Xie Wen who reproduced and improved his own technology and also had many independent inventions.

To sum up, Vegapunk's real body chose to use the space transfer technology that was still under research and come to them in person even though several of his clones disagreed.

What surprised Vegapunk was that the space transfer technology, which had failed nine times out of ten in previous experiments, did not encounter any accidents during this transmission, allowing him to contact Xie Wen and the others smoothly without alerting others.

"This is not the place to talk," Vegapunk said without giving Xie Wen and the others time to reply. He quickly pulled out a USB-disk-like gadget from his pocket and threw it to them. "As long as you take this, the barrier of the research floor will not stop you. I'll be waiting for you up there."

After saying that, Vegapunk's figure quickly became transparent and disappeared in front of Xie Wen and the others.

"That space teleportation technology has actually achieved results? As expected of Vegapunk! I can't fall too far behind, so when I get back I'll focus my research on teleportation technology, meow! Check-it!"

(ゝw)~☆

Meowerya was aroused by the competitive spirit and waved his little paws.

"Don't worry," Xie Wen patted her head and comforted her, "Our funding and manpower are not as good as the World Government. It's normal that your research speed is not as fast as Vegapunk's."

"Of course I know that, meow~" Xiao Dejuan rubbed Xie Wen's palm and continued, "So I plan to ask Vegapunk for advice later to see how he solved the positioning problem, meow! Check-it!"

(ゝw)~☆

However, what Meowerya didn't know was that Vegapunk, who had just been teleported back, had one-third of his body stuck in the floor of the laboratory.

"Brother Xie Wen, let's go up quickly, that old man's hat looks so interesting!"

(=w=)

Klee pulled Xie Wen's ear and urged him.

In fact, the little puppet was still very interested in the lower area, but her observation Haki sensed that Haibara Meowth and Meowth's minds had already flown to the research level above.

After scratching the chin of the well-behaved and cute little kitten, Xie Wen did not hesitate and directly picked up Hua Meimao and Miao Erya, and jumped to the clouds above by stepping on the air.

Soon they arrived at the edge of the artificial island cloud. Under normal circumstances, there seemed to be nothing here, but as some deflected long-range attacks flew over, a small translucent grid barrier could be seen.

Xie Wen, with four cats hanging on his body, raised his legs and walked forward. The same barrier appeared in front of him. However, with the authority granted by Vegapunk, he only felt a slight resistance at the moment of contact, and then he easily led the cats through this huge protective shield.

But at the same time, the "invisible black" effect on them also disappeared.

"Eh?" Seeing himself and the cats suddenly appear, Xie Wen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly put it out of his mind, because lights lit up on several buildings not far from them, forming a huge arrow to guide them in the direction.

Xie Wen scratched his head...

Could it be that Vegapunk wants to use us to test Seraph like he did with the Straw Hats?

Then don't blame me for being ruthless.

With this thought in mind, Xie Wen led the cats and followed the arrows that kept appearing in their field of vision, and quickly entered the top-level area where the punk records were stored.

But Xie Wen was obviously overthinking it. He didn't run into any test groups like the Pacifist or Seraph, but came directly to Vegapunk and his six clones...

"Welcome to Egghead Island!"

Vegapunk, who looks a bit like Einstein and likes to stick his tongue out all the time, welcomes loudly: "How do you feel about my inventions after using them?"

"Except for the food that wasn't very tasty, the others were very interesting, meow."

(=`=)

Kleemeow replied immediately.

"It was invented to make it easier for people to eat their favorite foods! Of course, it can't be compared with those chefs!"

Atlas, the clone who appeared to be a gigantic little girl and represented "violence", spoke angrily and gave the same reason as the original.

"But... Klee doesn't like that grilled fish, meow."

(=w=)

The little puppet scratched his head and retorted with reason: "It's obviously the food that Klee likes, but it's not as delicious as what Klee made herself. Klee is very disappointed."

Of course, Xie Wen had to speak up for his cat at this time.

"If you just want to make a machine that's convenient for ordinary people to eat, why not make it a machine that doesn't have as many types of food, but the food inside can be preserved longer?"

After briefly explaining the concept of vending machines, Xie Wen commented: "Although your 'unmanned food processor' has a wide variety of products and tastes pretty good, it is awful in terms of practicality. The ingredients inside will go bad if left for too long, and because of the wide variety, replenishing the ingredients is also a big problem."

This was not Xie Wen's deliberate fault-finding, but a reasonable evaluation based on his experience on Earth.

Vegapunk's unmanned food processor looks great, but when it is actually put into use, there are too many problems to face. Even if it is placed on Earth, it is not as practical as those vending machines that only sell biscuits, instant noodles and other items. This is even more so in the vibrant world of One Piece where everything competes.

"Damn it... I didn't even think of that!"

Vegapunk's real body instantly dropped its head to the ground, pounding the floor in frustration.

then……

Klee, who had been planning this for a long time, suddenly jumped off Xie Wen's shoulder, stepped forward, grabbed the apple stalk on Vegapunk's head, and pulled it up with force.

"What's up with that half apple of yours? Is it a hat? Can you lend it to Klee to play with, meow?"

(つ＞＜)つ

"Stop it! I'm going to die!!!"
