In One Piece With The Barrier Fruit

Inside a secret room in the Royal Palace on the island of Hachinosu.

Stussy looked at Basire sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but it was Stussy who couldn't stop herself and talked first.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Stussy was very shocked by the exposure of her identity. She couldn't imagine what would happen to her and Vegapunk after she was exposed.

"I'm a little curious, what do you call Vegapunk? Is he your father? Can he control you? Or do you voluntarily give everything for him?"

Basire asked curiously. He knew that Stussy was a clone with a completely independent personality and had now reached positions like CP0 agent and Queen of the Pleasure District.

But she can still abandon these two identities at will and return to Vegapunk to protect him.

She also easily took down two CP0 agents, Rob Lucci and Kaku, who had already awakened their zoan fruits.

"How did you know about me and Vegapunk?"

Stussy thought about her own identity and remembered Miss Buckingham, that old woman. She might have exposed her existence.

But Stussy has already left Vegapunk, and even Miss Buckingham and the World Government don't know that she still has a connection with him.

"None of this is important. Like Dragon, I want to cooperate with Dr. Vegapunk. I hope he can sell me some of his technology."

"Of course, this is something you can't refuse because you don't want Vegapunk and your secrets to be exposed."

"After all, you and Vegapunk may be liquidated by the World government if that happens."

Basire said softly, patting the sofa next to him and asking Stussy to sit over.

"You want to threaten us and get the doctor's technology?"

Stussy's pretty face was cold, and she walked over and sat next to Basire expressionlessly.

"You'd better give me Vegapunk's secret phone number and I'll talk to him myself."

"In fact, what he did is more serious than you imagined, so it's better for me to threaten him. You, the middlewoman, should look and listen well."

Basire knew that Stussy was taking orders from Vegapunk. No matter how much he and Stussy talked, it was useless. It would be better to go directly to Vegapunk, a smart old naughty boy.

"..."

Stussy stared at Basire, with a lot of thoughts in her mind, choosing the best way to break the situation.

"Don't think about committing suicide and then using your own death to break off the relationship with Vegapunk, it's really useless."

"Because I also know that Vegapunk is secretly studying ancient history. These news are also enough for the World government to take down Vegapunk."

"So your death is meaningless, and I just want to cooperate with Vegapunk, he has nothing to lose. It would be a pity if a beautiful woman like you were to die like this."

Basire continued to speak, to prevent Stussy from having any suicidal thoughts.

"Why do you know so much?"

Stussy said a little helplessly that this situation is no longer something she can decide, it needs to be decided by Vegapunk himself.

She could only tell Basire the top-secret phone number of Dr. Vegapunk, and the rest could only be left to them to decide on their own.

"purupurupurupuru~…"

"Stussy, is that you?"

An old but energetic voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Dr. Vegapunk, I am Basire, a good friend of Bartholomew Kuma and Monkey D. Dragon, and also Stussy's man."

As soon as Basire opened his mouth, even Stussy next to him opened her eyes wide. What the hell, just how shameless is this bastard?

"Yonkō Daddy Basire? Is Stussy next to you?"

Only Stussy knows the top-secret phone number of Vegapunk, and he is worried that she is being controlled by some devil fruit ability.

"That's right, I just wanted to find you, so I invited Stussy to be my guest."

"Dr. Vegapunk, you don't want the news that you went to Elbaf to read Ohara's books to appear in front of the Five Elders, do you?"

"Moreover, someone among your clones seems to have different dangerous thoughts, so you should be careful."

"For your safety, and for the safety of my woman, Stussy, I want to provide you with protection."

Basire finished speaking with a smile, then handed the phone snail to Stussy and asked her to say something to Vegapunk to confirm her safety.

"Doctor, Basire already knows about our connection. Is there really a traitor among your clones?"

After hearing what Basire said, Stussy transferred the leak target from Miss Buckingham to the six clones of Vegapunk.

"I didn't expect you to know so many things. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with my clones."

"Basire, was it my clone who revealed those secrets to you? Then why would you expose it?"

Vegapunk thought for a moment and asked solemnly.

"No, no, no, I don't know your clone. These things are all the future I saw with a divination orb."

"In the future, I saw your clone killing several other clones and taking control of Seraph."

"Speaking of which, Dr. Vegapunk, has the Seraph been developed now? Can you add control permissions?"

Basire remembered that Seraph's highest authority was the Five Elders, then Vegapunk and his six clones, and then Sentomaru. Those CP0 agents only had temporary control.

This Vegapunk is quite upright and doesn't know how to leave backdoors. He actually gave the highest authority to the Five Elders, while he only has secondary authority.

It is not surprising that he died one day due to his own invention.

"What? Divination Orb? I believe it's a devil fruit's ability."

Vegapunk said with some disbelief while thinking that unless this divination orb had the ability of the prediction fruit, he didn't know what material could predict the future.

"Dr. Vegapunk, now I know your secret of studying ancient history, and I also know that you are on Egghead Island."

"I also know that you have connections with the Revolutionary Army."

"You also separated the big brain under your brain fruit ability. Add to that your secret connection with Stussy, and everything could put you in a desperate situation."

"So cooperating with me is your only choice. Of course, you can choose to believe that the World Government will tolerate you. Anyway, I have nothing to lose."

"I heard that you are a little short of money recently, and I just happen to have a lot of money."

"Even if you don't believe in my character, you still have to believe in my relationship with Stussy. I will not harm you, and just like Dragon, I will treat you as a treasure to all mankind."

"Before Kuma lost his conscience, he asked you to take care of Bonney, right? And Bonney is on my crew now."

Basire used both threats and emotions to convince Vegapunk. No matter how smart he is, he will still fall under his talk no jutsu, you can call him Baruto.

"You don't want Seraph and its technology, do you?"

Vegapunk was silent for a while, and then slowly revealed Basire's purpose.
