One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The afterglow of the setting sun splashed down, and the sky was dyed into a golden ocean. The fish-scale white clouds are layered on top of each other and arranged irregularly under the blue sky. Between the two clouds, a dozen thick golden lights illuminated the earth, as if they were painted in soft colors on a canvas.

The breeze blows, the leaves on both sides of the city roads sway and dance in the golden glow, and the sound of music adds a sense of tranquility and beauty to the country.

NEO Navy Headquarters, Devastin.

Devastin means the city of freedom.

Within the crescent-shaped harbor, rippling blue water rippled to both sides. Under the gaze of members of the Navy Logistics Department, the castle-like Liberty accelerated its rise and sank into the golden sea of ​​clouds.

Ten thousand meters above the Windmill Kingdom, a large island is suspended in the white sea. Looking from a distance, you can see strange white buildings that resemble windmills.

On the periphery of the island, every kilometer of yellow soil is replaced by dark metal plates.

Windmill Island is the seat of the Science Department of the Windmill Kingdom. It has the most advanced technology in the country. Many of the improved weapons of the NEO Navy were developed here.

Thanks to Ann's original ideological indoctrination, brothers Heath and Heron have been focusing on education and recruiting famous scientists from all over the sea over the years. Otherwise, it would be impossible to build a huge battleship like the Liberty based on the shallow foundation of the Windmill Kingdom.

The hull slowly approached, and a few meters away from the island, a staircase more than thirty meters wide crashed down, connecting the two.

"let's go!"

Walking down the deck, a dozen NEO navy soldiers followed behind everyone carrying a six- to seven-meter-long piece of ice. Inside the ice was a burly man wearing a bear hat and a black coat with a white crosshair painted on his chest.

This person is none other than the Shichibukai Bartholomew Bear who was defeated by An in Marineland and sank to the bottom of the sea in ice. Of course, he still has an unknown identity secretly.

Under the leadership of Hillen, An, Dorag, and Ivankov passed through strict inspections one after another and entered the largest white building in the center.

Walking in the corridor illuminated by white lights, An curiously asked his cheap father: "Dorag, what exactly does Bega Punk have in hand? It is something you must get. In order to get close to Bega Punk , you can even give up such advanced combat power as Xiong?”

If it weren't for some special reason, An didn't believe that the revolutionary army would be so stupid as to be willing to give up such a high-level combat force with unlimited potential.

As for the bear being captured by the world government, it is even more impossible to forcibly implement the human transformation plan.

Not to mention the bear's powerful strength and ever-changing meat ball fruits, even if he is captured, as long as he is not willing to reform the plan, he will not realize it.

Human transformation is different from other technologies. The brain is the most sophisticated organ in the human body. Without one's will, this technology cannot succeed at all.

"This is the bear's idea and has nothing to do with me."

There was a sad look on Dorag's long face, and he obviously didn't know the reason.

Hearing this, An's eyes stopped blinking, and she looked at the other party with a pair of bright eyes in surprise. Her turned head remained still, waiting for the other party to continue explaining.

"I was the one who pulled the strings about the meeting between Xiong and Vegapunk. I don't know what agreement they reached in private."

"But something that would cost a bear his life must have had an unusual meaning to him."

After passing through several gates, Hillen led several people into a white science laboratory.

"Ogg, Dr. Davis, we're here!"

On the empty experimental table, Ogg, who looked similar to Ollie, was lying on it, writing something unknown. Next to him is a man with short blond hair, a round face like a baby, and a body that is estimated to be four meters tall. He looks quite happy.

"Lord Heron!"

"It's you, Heron!"

The two people wearing the same white coat had completely different reactions.

"Dr. Davis, this is the marshal of our NEO Navy and the founder of the Windmill Kingdom..."

"No need, I know who she is."

Putting away the mechanical circuit in his hand, Dr. Davis directly interrupted Heron's next introduction.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me. You kid is bound to be up to no good. This time, you have something to trouble me with."

"Ha ha!"

After a haha, Heron motioned to the NEO navy behind him to bring in the ice.

"Dr. Davis, please see if you can awaken this guy's consciousness."

The fire in his eyes danced, and a red flame appeared without warning, melting the entire ice block, revealing the bear inside.

"What a magical Devil Fruit ability. I wonder if Marshal An has time to cooperate with the research. I happen to have a new weapon plan."

Davis, who had been obsessed with making powerful weapons all his life, could clearly feel the terrifying energy in the flames, so he had the idea of ​​begging.

"Let's see how this guy is doing first. I'll ask Xiaohong to cooperate with you regarding research."

Although he didn't know who the other party was talking about, Davis believed that the other party would not deceive him and started to check the bear's condition.

"This guy is right about this method. I didn't expect that he hasn't given up on this plan yet."

After some inspections, Davis, who was talking to himself, stopped what he was doing, gently put down the tools in his hands, and turned to look at An and the others.

"This big guy should have been transformed by Vegapunk!"

"How did you tell?"

An's tone became cold.

It's not strange to see that he has been transformed, but it's possible to see who transformed him. There are many questions to be explored.

Finding that the atmosphere suddenly became solemn, Davis scratched his round face and showed doubts, "Didn't that kid Xiren tell you? I used to be a member of MADS with Vegapunk, Judge and others. Of course I can recognize his method."

"Stop joking, Dr. Davis, you didn't tell me about this at all, okay!!"

Being stared at by everyone, the unruly Xiren shouted loudly.

"No? It seems that I forgot!" Davis put on an indifferent attitude.

Ignoring these trivial matters, if the other party is Vegapunk's former research partner, then the Windmill Kingdom has picked up a treasure this time.

Caesar, Quinn, Judge, these guys who work with Vegapunk basically have a world-class technology.

With this premise, there is nothing to investigate about the other party's hidden identity.

An, said: "Dr. Davis, how is this guy doing!"

Looking at the worried people, Dr. Davis smiled and signaled everyone to relax, then said: "Although I don't know what Vegapunk thinks, this guy's will has not disappeared, he just fell asleep."

"It seems that he has a good relationship with that old guy!"
