One Piece: The Glory of the Murloc

Brett picked up the fiery red fruit.

This is of course a devil fruit.

But it's not an ordinary devil fruit.

This is an artificial devil fruit, and it is very likely that it is the first artificial devil fruit in the world.

When Bright was sent here, no one disclosed the name and address of this place to him.

But he knew where this place was. He knew that this was the government's secret experimental base, an island called Punk Hassad.

Then, this fruit should be here!

Made by Vegapunk himself and based on Kaido's bloodline factor, the Blue Dragon Fruit of the phantom beast species is reproduced!

Although Vegapunk thought the fruit had failed, Bright knew that it might not be the case!

In the future, Momonosuke, who accidentally ate this fruit by chance, showed that he could not be said to be exactly the same as Kaido, but could only be said to be a replica of the original.

Most likely it wasn't a failure.

Of course, it is also possible that Momonosuke is really the chosen one, with a special bloodline that resurrects this failed fruit, not to mention having abilities comparable to the original.

But now Bright can't control that much.

After the failed attempt to reach the port, there was no other way out.

The so-called plan B is just a gamble on luck.

What if this fruit Vegapunk hasn’t been made yet?

What if this fruit is not placed in this room?

What if this room is heavily guarded and cannot be entered?

If he could just jump into the sea and escape, why would he come here to try his luck?

How could he eat a devil fruit as a fishman if he could? Still wondering if there are any useful artificial devil fruits?

Brett didn't have a miraculous plan, he was just at his wits end.

Fortunately, it looks like Lady Luck is on his side today.

Now let's see if Lady Luck is willing to give her final favor.

Brett wiped the dust off the fruit, opened his mouth wide, and took a bite.

Brett couldn't help but frown when the pulp entered his mouth.

Straw Hat Boy is certified to be unpalatable, but the gold content is indeed of a high level.

The pulp is neither crispy nor soft, it's so sticky that it's like swallowing snot into your mouth. It sticks in your mouth and you can't chew it.

Not to mention the taste, the food made by Aaron is a hundred times more delicious than it. Brett has exhausted his own vocabulary and can't find a suitable adjective to describe this taste.

But now was not the time to be squeamish, so Bright swallowed the whole fruit in three or two mouthfuls.

What if the quality control of artificial Devil Fruits is not strict and you cannot gain abilities without eating them all?

So, Lady Luck, lend me your luck once again.

Brett took a deep breath.

Whether you become a fish-man who can't swim in vain, or whether you have the power of a fantasy beast and have a chance to escape, it all depends now!

At the same time, more and more marines were outside the door. Even the major general who blocked the door before had arrived. The dark navy blocked the passage.

"Get ready to attack."

The major general said solemnly, "Anyone above the colonel will follow me and try to save that guy's life."

"yes."

The admirals nodded in unison.

The major general's hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

For him who has mastered domineering, the thick metal door in front of him is nothing.

"etc."

But at this time, a slightly sleepy voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.

The marines were stunned for a moment, then turned around in unison the next moment, and then made way for them.

"PhD?"

The rear admiral looked at the man walking slowly along the road that the marines had moved out of the way, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

The person who came had messy hair and was tall. He was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of big glasses.

Wearing a white coat with a T-shirt and jeans, it looks very casual.

He doesn't look very impressive, but even the Major General respects him very much.

Because his name is Vegapunk.

"That kid escaped into my storage room. Of course I have to come and take a look."

Vegapunk had a weird smile on his face, "What if you destroy my treasures?"

The major general smiled bitterly and said, "Doctor, aren't those all failures?"

"Because it is a failure, it is a treasure!" Vegapunk said matter-of-factly, "For me, failure is much more memorable than success."

The major general was helpless.

This doctor is indeed qualified to say this.

The failures born in his hands are indeed much less than the successes.

"So doctor, what do you want to do?"

The leader of the entire naval science force is, of course, the chief government scientist in front of him.

"When I was desperate, I actually thought of using my collection to find a chance to make a comeback. He is a very interesting guy."

Vegapunk said with a smile, "Let me go in and talk to him."

"Doctor, are you serious?" the major general was dumbfounded.

"Huh? Are you questioning me?" Vegapunk glanced at him sideways.

"No, I don't dare."

The major general could only smile bitterly.

Doctor, no matter what, you are a civilian employee!

Behind the heavy metal door.

Brett sat on a platform originally used to store things, looking up at the ceiling above.

Which one is easier, to penetrate the top and then drill through the entire mountain, or to open the door and penetrate all the navy blocking the way?

There was a calm smile on his lips.

laugh!

At this time, a sharp sound came from the gap in the door over there.

Are you cutting the door lock?

Brett stood up and walked to the side of the door to avoid being caught in a wave of fire after the door opened.

He took a deep breath.

Then.

Fiery red scales emerged from the skin, the legs gradually began to look like anti-joints, a thick tail grew from behind the buttocks, and most importantly, two pairs of sharp horns grew windingly on the forehead.

Brett transformed into a tall, fiery red dragon!

Lady luck favored him again.

That Devil Fruit was indeed successful, Bright could declare so loudly now.

After gaining the ability, Bright ushered in a change that was like a complete transformation.

His strength and physique have increased significantly, and his tough dragon scales have even given Bright confidence that he can withstand bullets. Even the injury on his shoulder is almost healed.

More importantly, although he can no longer swim, he can now fly!

He has truly gained the ability to escape.

Water oozed from Brett's palms again, and he was ready to go.

Click.

The door lock was finally sawed off and the door was pushed open.

Brett held his breath.

"Boy, don't rush to do anything. I'm the only one here, let's talk."

There was a sound outside the door, and then a man walked in.

Brett was stunned for a moment, "Vegapunk?"

The person who walked through the door was Vegapunk. Although he had never met him twice, it was certainly impossible for Bright to forget the appearance of this guy.

Why is this guy here?

Moreover, he actually turned around and closed the door!

What on earth was the Navy thinking?

"Um?"

After closing the door, Vegapunk turned around and saw Bright at this time.

"oh!!!"

The man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly ran up to Bright and observed him almost obsessively, "Did you eat that fruit?!"

"Hahahaha, are you the one it's waiting for? Oh, it's fiery red? I thought it would be softer?"

Brett was stunned for a moment.

What's the meaning?

What is the person it's waiting for?

Could it be that this guy already knew that this fruit had not failed?

But none of that matters now.

Bright looked at Vegapunk in front of him and felt secretly happy.

Even if you get the ability, you will still have to go through a bloody battle if you want to escape, and you may even be unable to escape.

But now is your chance!

As long as we can capture Vegapunk and use him as a hostage, it will be easy to leave here!

"Originally I just wanted you to calm down, but now it seems - haha, boy,"

When Bright was about to take action, Vegapunk suddenly said, "How about making a deal?"

What?
