The mountain of jewels and gold in the open space opposite Pangaea Castle was getting higher and higher, and it was really close to the top of the forr, but finally the Five Elders gave the order to stop.
They considered that raising the height of this mound to the level of or beyond the castle would be an affront and disrespectful to the Celestial Dragons.
Despite this, the impressive magnitude of this mountain of gold and jewels shocked the entire world.
The world seed to fall silent, only the roar of the waves in the sea could be heard.
"Are you kidding !!" Buggy, who was watching the broadcast in the cabin of the ship, although he was only fifteen years old, had the sa appearance as in the future He looked at the golden mountain in the screen and roared. "If we had this amount of treasure, we wouldn't be simple pirates!"
Buggy looked with envy at the countless amount of gold and jewels. He couldn't have so much even if he searched for treasures all his life, right?
"Aaahhh! Where the hell are these guys taking !?" He scread, clutching his head in a state of extre distress.
When he was wandering in the East Blue, those mysterious n in black suddenly appeared in front of him. Without saying a word, they hit him and left him unconscious. When he woke up, he was on this ship.
"The place we're taking you is Punk Hazard, the secret base of the Special Science Group, sorry, it's now the Academy of Sciences." At this ti, a man in black opened the door and walked in with a smile.
"Why are you sending there?" Seeing that there was finally soone to communicate with, Buggy quickly stood up and asked.
"Because we have seen your talent in weapons research, you will be taught more professional knowledge there. From now on you can seriously beco a scientist in the field of weapons."
"..." Buggy was stunned. He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He could only ask in confusion: "How do you know that I have been studying new weapons recently? Obviously, I only had the idea last week."
How funny and outrageous is this?
Just a week ago, he started getting interested in it and he didn't even have all the materials for the research. And now, soone from the World Governnt ca to tell him how talented he is in this area and also used strong thods to arrest him. Was the purpose to send him to a place to study?
The man in black in front of him was also confused. He blinked a few tis, not knowing what to do or say in this situation.
"Well, you should know Shanks. You two were on the sa boat before. By the way, he was the one who told us that you are particularly talented in this area." The man in black coughed twice and reluctantly found an excuse.
"Shanks?!" Buggy exploded instantly. His teeth beca sharp fangs, and he burned with fury.
He couldn't believe that idiot had tricked him again. Previously, it was because of him that he ended up eating the Chop-Chop Fruit and beca a landlubber, losing access to many underwater treasures.
"Where is he now?!"
"Cough, Shanks... It was discovered that he has the blood of the Celestial Dragons. So they sent him back to Mary Geoise."
"...?" Buggy's face froze, and three big golden question marks popped up on his head, and he shouted in disbelief: "What are you talking about? That bastard Shanks is a Celestial Dragon!"
The man in black nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, so I advise you to be careful with your words. You don't want to be arrested in Punk Hazard for showing disrespect towards the Celestial Dragons."
"Why, why him, do you have any evidence?" Buggy asked through gritted teeth, with uncontrollable envy in his tone.
A Celestial Dragon! That was infinite wealth, supre status and always protected by Navy admirals! Oh, he wanted that too.
...
Pangaea Castle. Room of Authority
"Next is the Levely." Warcury said, sitting on the sofa, with a serious and solemn face.
Mars asked: "As for the towns where the slaves are settling, have the constructions been completed?"
Previously, they considered that after the approval of the Levely issues, they would not be able to free all of Mary Geoise's slaves at once, as many of them were ntally disturbed or harbored strong resentnt towards the World Governnt.
Therefore, it was discussed that only 10,000 selected people would be released through the world live broadcast, and the remaining people would be placed under house arrest sowhere in the Red Earth Continent, and then psychologists would be sent to try to see if they could recover.
As for those whose hatred is really too deep, they can only be dealt with secretly.
"It's almost ready." Warcury responded.
anwhile, the News Coo loaded with newspapers waved their wings, flying towards different parts of the world. The content inside was about today's event, the live reveal of One Piece.
Although thanks to the instant transmission ability of the Den Den Mushi, most people around the world already knew about this at this ti, like a newspaper, this crucial event that could even be recorded in history must be docunted in their own pages.
Otherwise it would be unprofessional. Therefore, the headline on the front page of the newspaper in the extra edition announced: "The day the legend of One Piece ends!"
The second half of the Grand Line, the 'New World' sea area, Punk Hazard.
The island was covered by a dense green forest. In this vast jungle lies the forr Special Science Group, now the research base of the Academy of Sciences.
The atmosphere in the entire facility was extrely serious and solemn, among the occasional roars of beasts.
"The fusion of items and Zoan-type devil fruits..."
In a laboratory packed with monitors, a middle-aged man, about six feet tall with a disproportionately large head resembling a radish, was wearing a loose white coat. He looked at the contents of a file, reading line by line.
He was Vegapunk, the current director of the Academy of Sciences and head of the Institute of Devil Fruit Studies.
"Interesting."
This information was kept in a lockbox by mbers of CP6 and escorted over three hours ago. He originally thought it was a professional report from other researchers.
But after looking at it, he discovered that the content is confusing and lax. There is no experintal data, and it is all guesswork. These seemingly random conjectures caught his eye.
"Although the whole article is full of unrigorous speculations, it did point to a relatively clear research direction." This also makes Vegapunk's mood more complicated. He is now a little worried about whether the World Governnt has found a researcher who can replace him.
Not that he had much love for the World Governnt. After all, he was forcibly brought here. But he had to admit that here he could investigate without restrictions: money, equipnt, research materials, everything he needed was available.
"Huh, what is this?" Just when he was about to pack up the docunts, Vegapunk was surprised to find that there was another docunt envelope in the lockbox. He opened it and took it out, and his pupils suddenly trembled.
"Climate improvent plan for Future Country Baldimore." After reading the contents of the plan, his hands trembled a little. The World Governnt was actually prepared to help him solve the extre cold climate in his hotown.
Vegapunk understood the intention of the World Governnt.
"..." There was a long silence. Vegapunk sat in his chair, looking at the docunt in his hands. He was moved, but logic told him that it was a 'bribe' from the World Governnt.
So the question arose: can their loyalty be bought in exchange for ensuring the happy future of their ho?
"Dr. Vegapunk, the CP6 ship has entered the port, and they have brought Buggy, the forr intern of the Roger Pirates."
"Buggy, is that the kid who is said to be very talented in explosives? Let's take him to the guest room to rest. Give him a day to get familiar with the environnt here and start arranging a teacher for him the day after tomorrow."
To be honest, Vegapunk is really not interested in explosives, and he has no ti to teach Buggy himself. Now he just wants to continue to invest in the research of devil fruits.
"Understood."
"Also, bring two Zoan-type Devil Fruits and two famous swords for my experints."
"Yes!"
...
"Shurororo... Teacher, did you call ?" Caesar, walked into Professor Fritz's research room.
They were on level 5.5 of Impel Down, the secret base of the Biochemical Research Institute directly affiliated with the Academy of Sciences of the World Governnt.
"Well, an order has just arrived from Mary Geoise, asking us to send people to Area RL1556 to assist the Construction Departnt in constructing a biochemical security station with isolation, sterilization and disinfection functions."
"We also have to wear thirty advanced chemical protection suits."
Hearing this, Caesar, looked surprised.
"RL?"
"I rember, isn't that the Red Earth Continent? Why build a biochemical safety station there? Would anyone dare to release biochemical weapons there?"
"Also, what do they need chemical protective suits for?"
Hearing the three consecutive questions from his student, Professor Fritz rubbed his brows with a headache and sighed.
"I don't know either. Don't you know the temper of the World Governnt? Since they haven't explained it, it ans we shouldn't know, so don't ask around."
"Rember this, it can save your life!"
"Okay." Caesar was unhappy.
"Be careful when you go there. Although you are only sixteen years old, you still know how to operate a biochemical safety station, right?" Professor Fritz raised his head and asked.
Caesar nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I just want to go up there and take a walk!"
"Hey, be careful when you go there. Don't run around. Every word you say must be carefully considered. It's best not to say a word about anything that has nothing to do with work!" Professor Fritz continued to give his instructions earnestly.
"Shurororo... I got it teacher." Caesar chuckled, thinking that the professor was exaggerating about the danger of the Red Earth Continent.
Professor Fritz looked at his careless look and knew that he didn't take his words to heart at all. He shook his head helplessly, and then handed over a piece of information on the table. "By the way, look at this."
"What is it?" Caesar, curious, took the docunt and began to read it. His eyes were shining as he read the docunt. The docunt dealt with conjectures of new biochemical weapons based on biological gases, in addition to the description of different viruses and paralyzing drugs.
"It's strange. I was ordered to give you this docunt and to investigate it on your own." Professor Fritz was also full of doubts.
After Caesar finished reading the docunt, he felt excited. So he quickly turned around and ran towards the door of the investigation room. "Teacher, I'm going to the Red Earth Continent right now!"
Now he wants to visit the Red Earth Continent and also wants to start studying the interesting content of the docunt right away, but he doesn't want to choose one or the other, he wants both!
Professor Fritz looked at the automatically closing door, smiled resignedly, and at the sa ti, his gaze beca deep. He wondered where the World Governnt had gotten all this information from.
The key point is that whether it is biochemical weapons based on biological gases, or the different types of viruses ntioned, they are all dangerous biochemical weapons that are highly contagious.
To be honest, his bottom line has not been broken yet, so subconsciously he doesn't want to study it.
But on the other hand, according to the docunt's conjectures, viruses can not only be used as weapons but can also serve as a treatnt for certain diseases, and in fact if this is achieved it can save many people.
An internal struggle, a painful indecision.
But, if he disobeyed the World Governnt's orders about conducting the research, he could no longer be the director of the Biochemical Research Institute. Furthermore, after all these years, he knew too many secrets, which would probably result in his elimination.
"Okay, forget it. I will do it for the good of the people and for my wife and daughter. The rest, let's leave it in the hands of the World Governnt." Professor Fritz comforted himself in a low voice.
