Chapter 365: Using Talk No Jutsu On Vegapunk
Basire didn't care that Vegapunk had hit the point. With the mind of the world's number one scientist, it was easy to analyze what he really wanted.
"Smart, since you have begun to study the history of the void century, it means that you are not a person of the same mind as the World Government."
"Now just think of me as another Dragon, and I have more money and resources than him. Of course, again, I have more information about you."
"Miss Buckingham is now under my command, and soon both Caesar Clown and Vinsmoke Judge will be in my hands as well."
"Maybe after I kill Kaido of the Beasts in the future, Queen will also fall into my hands. Then your MAD research team will be reunited."
"By the way, I also ate the artificial dragon fruit you left in Punk Hazard. Speaking of which, we are really destined."
Basire held the snail in front of Stussy and brazenly said that he wanted to kill Kaido, which made the Queen of the Pleasure District widen her eyes.
She didn't expect Basire to be so ambitious, he was already thinking about killing Kaido and subduing Queen.
"I have to say, you know so many things. I heard that Ohara's orphan, Nico Robin, is also in your hands. It seems that you are also peeking into the void century."
Vegapunk thought for a while and probably knew that Basire's goal was also the World Government, which might be even more ambitious than the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon."
"I'm not interested in those. Joy Boy failed eight hundred years ago. Relying on their experience or predictions is also self-destruction."
"I now know the whereabouts of Poseidon and Pluton, but I don't know whether Uranus is in the hands of Imu, the King of the World."
"I need your help, Dr. Vegapunk, in order to prevent the Celestial Dragons from continuing to wreak havoc on the world, and to prevent so many countries from falling into endless wars over heavenly gold."
"I hope that while you are forced to research for the World Government, you will also give us a share of technology and retain a hope of resistance for the world."
"You don't want to continue to help the World Government and Celestial Dragons suppress the world because of the weapons you developed. Might you become an accomplice of the Celestial Dragons and become the sinner of the world, right?"
Basire talked about his background and even started to put pressure on Vegapunk with the righteousness of the world.
"I don't understand politics, and I don't want to get involved with you careerists or the revolutionary army. I just want to keep studying the things I like and help the technological development of this world."
"However, the secrets and information you possess have indeed threatened my life. In order to continue my research career, I can only compromise with you."
"Of course, I hope you, like Dragon, will keep our cooperation top-secret and not let the World Government know about it. If our partnership is exposed, I will die."
Vegapunk also didn't expect that Basire had more secrets than Dragon, so in order to survive, he had no choice but to agree to cooperate with him.
He just doesn't know how Basire compares with Dragon. Vegapunk understands Dragon's character and dreams, so he is willing to cooperate with him a little.
But now, he is almost forced to cooperate with Basire, and he doesn't know much about him at all.
"Don't worry, Dr. Vegapunk. Like I said, I regard you as a treasure of mankind. Even if the World Government takes action against you, I will do my best to save you."
"My dream is similar to Dragon's, to build a relatively equal world. You don't have to worry about me being a reckless man like Kaido who destroys everything, nor do you have to worry about me being a worm who enjoys the world like Celestial Dragons."
Although Basire is now a pirate, it does not affect his ambition to rebuild world order.
He believed that a world of relative equality and peace would emerge in his hands.
"Egghead Island is under strict surveillance by the World Government. You don't have a talent like Bartholomew Kuma who can transmit the information. Do you want to rely on me to dictate everything?"
"I don't have that much time and energy to tell you so much theoretical knowledge and technical knowledge bit by bit using a den den mushi."
Vegapunk suddenly remembered a problem. After Bartholomew Kuma lost consciousness and was recovered by the Celestial Dragons, even Dragon had severed material contact with him.
"I have the Mark Fruit in my hand, and I also have the Gate Fruit user, as well as Float Fruit user, and Transparent Fruit user, Castle Fruit user…"
"I can arrive at Egghead Island quietly at any time, so Doctor, you don't have to worry about our secret cooperation being exposed."
Basire said confidently because as long as he knew the location of Egghead Island, he could fly the Ark Maxim directly there and cover it with the transparent fruit to avoid the surveillance of the World Government.
"You are too well prepared. I feel you are even more powerful than Dragon."
Vegapunk couldn't help but admire the confident Basire. How long had this guy been preparing and how detailed his plan was.
"Doctor, you should prepare Seraph's technology, and then tell me what supplies you want, and I will find an opportunity to send them to you."
"If you want gold, I will give you dozens of tons, and if you want beris, I will give you billions. We are not short of money."
"I heard that your home island of Karakuri is a cold winter island. I can also ask someone to change its location. In short, I will try my best to meet your requests."
"If you want a Poneglyph, I can make a copy for you to study. I even have the Pluton design drawings, but only our own people can study this."
Basire looked arrogant when he said he had no shortage of money. He even mentioned the hometown that Vegapunk had always been thinking about.
When Stussy heard about the Pluton design drawings, her ears perked up.
This is one of the World Government's most high-level secret missions, and is handled by the entire CP9 agent team.
Unexpectedly, before they could find the Pluton design in Water Seven, Basire had already intercepted it.
"I only want to study things that contribute to the development of the world. I'm actually not interested in Ancient Weapons like the Pluton battleship that destroy islands."
"But I'm already helping the World Government research super weapons to destroy islands, and I really can't help myself."
Vegapunk suddenly sighed and said that under repeated pressure from the Five Elders, he was already developing an island-destroying sky weapon that could destroy islands in one strike, with power comparable to the Ancient Weapons.
This sky weapon is called [mother flame], and it can destroy a kingdom island.
As Basire said, Vegapunk does not want to be a sinner for the people of the world, nor does he want to be an accomplice of the World Government.
However, in order to survive and to develop more useful technologies, he had to develop this terrible weapon for them.
