Even Wolf couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the world's number one scientist!"
Just the scraps and leftovers were enough to allow an organization's science and technology to make a leap in progress.
Ian looked at the sky and, feeling it was almost ti, he put the two children down and stood up.
"It's about ti. We should head ho for dinner."
After saying that, he looked at Zephyr. "You? Want to co?"
"I'll pass. Since I'm finally back, I'll have a drink with Binz, Enel, and the others tonight!"
Zephyr happily refused. Then, as if rembering sothing, he looked at Ian with a serious expression. "Right, don't forget about the Book-Book Fruit!"
Ian: "..."
Seriously? He was actually serious about that?!
Ian looked speechlessly at Zephyr, then directly ignored him. After the two children said goodbye to their grandpa Zephyr, he took them back ho.
Father and children didn't walk fast, leisurely strolling along.
In these two years, Ohara had changed a lot.
You could say there was no trace of the old Ohara left; not only had the past remnants been erased, but even the desolation that followed had now disappeared.
Compared to the scholarly Holy Land that Ohara used to be, the current Ohara lacked the academic atmosphere but gained a stronger technological feel.
Of course, this was thanks to the technology Vegapunk left behind.
You could say Ohara had completely transford, and even the population had increased significantly.
anwhile, the Marines were still trying to find out where their base was.
But under Grado's cover, relying on just Smoker's single fleet wasn't nearly enough to find it so easily.
When they arrived at the door, the two little ones imdiately pushed it open and rushed inside.
"(Robin) Mommy! (Ain) Mommy!"
"I'm back."
Ian also entered, put down his axe, and looked at Ain and Robin, as well as the dinner already prepared. "Dinner is ready?"
"You're a bit late today, dear."
"I chatted with Zephyr for a while."
Hearing Robin's words, Ian smiled and nodded. He then looked at Ain and Robin and was about to tell them to start eating and enjoy a family dinner when…
"Purururu!"
The Den Den Mushi on him rang. Ian raised an eyebrow but still answered it, simply saying, "Hello."
But when he heard the voice on the other end, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
He said suspiciously, "Why did you suddenly call ? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the World Governnt?"
Right after Ian finished speaking, a familiar voice ca from the other side: "It really has been a long ti, Mr. Ian. Please don't worry, this is a secret room I built specially. The World Governnt can't eavesdrop here."
"So cautious?"
Hearing Vegapunk's words, Ian narrowed his eyes slightly, but still spoke calmly: "Anyway, just get to the point! Calling at this ti, I hope it's not sothing too terrible."
"Ahahaha…"
Faced with Ian's wariness, Vegapunk's face showed a hint of embarrassnt. "Rest assured, it's nothing huge, and besides, we should be friends, right? I even gave you the perfect artificial Devil Fruit that took countless efforts to develop."
"Didn't you say that was a defective product?"
Vegapunk: "..."
"Say what you need to say! If not, I'm hanging up!"
"All right, all right! Wait a mont."
Hearing that Ian was about to hang up, Vegapunk showed a flustered expression and said, "There actually is sothing I need your help with!"
As he spoke, he switched to an apologetic smile. "Can you give so of your blood?"
"Goodbye!"
"Wait, wait, wait, please listen! My research has reached a critical mont."
Without any hesitation, Vegapunk hurriedly shouted, "The key blood I need is missing right now. Your blood might be able to help !"
"What's that got to do with ?"
"All right, maybe you don't know what my research is for."
Faced with Ian's rciless rejection, Vegapunk sighed, his tone filled with emotion and sorrow.
"I want to develop a weapon that can protect peace across the sea. If my research succeeds, it will deter pirates, and perhaps the sea will beco a better place because of my invention."
"It's a nice idea, just a bit too idealistic."
Ian imdiately shot him down without giving face. "You should know chaos isn't just caused by pirates. Your invention might even allow those who create chaos to use it to create even greater chaos!"
Vegapunk: "..."
As soon as Ian finished speaking, Vegapunk instantly went silent. After a mont, he sighed and said helplessly, "Fine! You might be right, but it's undeniable that my thod can reduce casualties. Ian, the Marines aren't as disgraceful as you think!"
"But the World Governnt is even worse than I thought."
Ian shrugged and said impatiently, "And your thod might only cause even more sacrifice."
"... I'm not sure whether my choice is right or wrong either, but I understand more."
"Understand more? You an history? Don't tell you've been researching history and the World Governnt found out!"
"Huh, how did you know that?"
Vegapunk showed a panicked expression, but quickly recovered and spoke in a serious tone: "Enough, let's not talk about that. I still hope you can give so blood. No matter what, reducing casualties is a good thing. If not, then the Tyrant from South Blue, Bartholow Kuma, should be a Buccaneer, right? Maybe his blood could help . Don't worry, I'll give you satisfactory compensation."
"The World Governnt should have Lunarians' blood."
Ian frowned. "That should satisfy your requirents, too, right?"
"Huh? How do you know that?"
Vegapunk was surprised, then gave a bitter smile. "But Lunarian's blood is too rare, and it doesn't match the current stage of my research. Using Lunarians' blood to manufacture anything would be extrely expensive. Ian..."
"Stop thinking about or my subordinates' blood."
Ian cut him off imdiately, as if he already knew what Vegapunk planned to say.
Then his eyes flickered, as if he suddenly thought of sothing, and he spoke with a helpless tone: "Forget it, I do know soone whose blood should be very suitable for you."
Vegapunk: "...?!"
Hearing that, Vegapunk's eyes instantly lit up as he urgently asked: "Who?"
