Chapter 661 Vegapunk: ???

Vegapunk, who was still conducting various researches on Egghead Island, certainly didn't know that he had been targeted by two sea emperors and a future sea emperor.

But...

He was not in a very good mood either.

"Damn it! I should have destroyed that artificial devil fruit earlier!"

Vegapunk looked at the cherry dragon on the newspaper and slapped his thigh in annoyance.

He certainly wasn't upset because of a small defect like "different color"... well, at least not entirely.

But after the fruit that he identified as a "failed product" was exposed, the World Government would definitely come to trouble him.

Being held accountable by the World Government was not a big problem, but Vegapunk could foresee that he would definitely have to copy more devil fruits for the World Government next, or simply hand over the method of cultivating artificial devil fruits.

In fact, copying a few artificial devil fruits for the World Government or handing over the cultivation method is nothing to Vegapunk, because this is one of the conditions for the World Government to support his research. Vegapunk is not naive enough to get the World Government's funds for free.

The real problem that bothers him is that in this way, he will have to make more "failed" artificial devil fruits, or hand over the cultivation method that is not "successful"...

This is what Vegapunk can't accept the most.

"This "Blue Star" is the same. If you take the artificial devil fruit, you take it. As long as you don't say it, others will only think that you have obtained the same type of devil fruit. Why do you have to explain your details completely? "

Feeling a headache, Vegapunk developed some resentment towards Xie Wen, whom he had never met.

Originally, he thought that the design of the Toot-Toot Advance was very creative, and wanted to find an opportunity to communicate with Meowerya.

Now...

Let's first think of a way to deal with the accountability of the World Government and how to fool around with the artificial devil fruit.

"It seems that we can only advance the research on 'Green Blood' and 'Seraph' to divert the World Government's attention from the artificial devil fruit... Edison! Our research plan needs to be adjusted! "

After mumbling to himself for a while, Vegapunk shouted loudly to the clone he had specially created some time ago to speed up the research efficiency.

...

After Xie Wen explained all the situations to Sasha Meow, he quickly cleared up the misunderstanding with the residents on the island.

Just as he had guessed before, this island was just a transit station for the Beasts Pirates, mainly used to transport the weapons and equipment built in Wano Country. After Kaido led the Beasts Pirates to escape from Wano Country, this island was completely worthless to him, but he did not have time to take back his pirate flag, or Kaido did not remember the island at all.

Therefore, the people on the island still used the flag of the Beasts Pirates to bully others.

In fact, they also thought that this place is so close to Wano Country. , Xie Wen and his team are very likely to pass by or even specifically check here, but the terrible living environment in the pirate world still makes them hold a glimmer of luck and continue to hang the pirate flag of the Beasts...

At worst, they will surrender when Xie Wen and his team appear.

But they didn't expect that the "landing" method of the Toot-Toot Advance would be so... aggressive. They thought that Xie Wen, like many pirates, didn't intend to listen to their explanations at all, and wanted to plunder and shock them first...

After all, that's what the Beasts Pirates did in the past.

Fortunately, what they worried about did not happen. "Blue Star" was a good person who hated evil, was kind and upright, just as the early world government propaganda said. Not only did they not plunder their town, but they took the initiative to compensate for the damaged docks.

The relieved townspeople entertained the investigation team and showed Xie Wen and his friends the recent newspapers...

As the parties involved, Xie Wen and his friends knew all the reports about Wano Country and Kaido, so they just glanced at them casually and read all the news that were not on the front page with great interest.

Then Xie Wen saw——

"Huh? Is the Whitebeard Pirates heading towards Wano Country?"

Xie Wen was just stunned for a moment and guessed one of the reasons.

"It must be Ace and Izo who want to come and see the situation."

"Oh right! Ace! So you know him too? He said at the beginning that he wanted to take the head of the bull-headed gorilla and save Wano Country!"

Yamato also remembered the friend who had never known him and who also did not want to acknowledge his biological father, "Xie Wen! Let's wait for Ace and the others here! And Whitebeard, Oden also highly praised him in his diary! I didn't expect Ace to join the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Well, even if you didn't say it, I was going to wait for Whitebeard and the others here."

Xie Wen nodded. After all, he had received the favor of the White Bat Fruit. Since he knew that the other party was coming, he naturally had no reason to avoid it.

What's more...

"The Whitebeard Pirates' fanfare along the way is probably reminding me that they are coming."

Although he was not a drunkard and couldn't think of another reason for the Whitebeard Pirates to come, Xie Wen could still guess the meaning of their behavior.

The mayor of the small town who handed the newspaper to Xie Wen was trembling.

A blue star scared them so much, and now there's a white beard? !

But the mayor didn't have the guts to drive Xie Wen out, so he could only tell other people in the town to prepare to host another sea emperor...

Xie Wen certainly noticed the mayor's uneasy look, but he didn't want to return to Wano Country, so he could only make the mayor suffer again.

In fact, from another perspective, it is rare for such an ordinary and inconspicuous town to host three sea emperors. If the mayor has a little business sense and is brave enough, he can use this as a gimmick to develop the island's tourism industry.

But judging from the other party's performance just now, he probably doesn't have the courage.

"Brother Xie Wen, look at this!"

(==)

Just as Xie Wen was thinking out of habit, the little puppet beside him suddenly tugged at his clothes and shouted cheerfully, "Klee's bounty has increased again! And the bounties of Sister Jinx, Sister Purya, Sister Suika, and Brother Kaido have also increased a lot!"

Well, this is also expected.

Xie Wen took the bounty order from Klee.

"The Escaped Sun" Klee, bounty 3 billion berries, as long as she is alive.

"Seven-Colored Doll User" Purya, bounty 1 billion berries, as long as she is alive.

"Shuten Douji" Ibuki Suika, bounty 1 billion berries, as long as she is alive.

"Runaway Blue Cat" Jinx, bounty 500 million berries, as long as she is alive.

"Flame" Kaido, bounty 2 billion berries, as long as she is alive.

Xie Wen can understand that the four kittens that made the "little girl" only want to live, but what's wrong with Kaido Meow? He has eaten all the artificial devil fruits, and he can't spit them out.

Could it be that...?

"That cat fur tribe named Kaido, you are also the one who did it, right? Vegapunk!"

CP0, who came to Egghead Island to ask for accountability, did not continue to dwell on this matter after listening to Vegapunk's explanation of the artificial devil fruit, but changed the subject and shifted the focus to Kaido Meow itself.
