Grand Line New World.

Punk Hassad is an island that almost no one has heard of among seafaring pirates, and there are no permanent pointers for sale here in general.

But it is very important to the world government and navy, because this is a research base for the scientific force.

Punk Hassad at this time is not like the situation in the plot where even the topography and climate changed after the battle between Akainu and Aokiji.

Speaking of changing the topography and even the climate here, we have to talk about the awakening of fruit abilities, especially the awakening of the fruit abilities of the strongest natural ability users. The subsequent formation of Ice and Fire Island should be related to the awakening of fruit abilities.

This was just Moson's guess. He did not go to verify it, because the awakening of the fruit ability was a relatively private and secret matter. Although his relationship with Kuzan was good, it was not to the point where he could ask each other's secrets casually. Sakas

Not to mention Ji.

Nowadays, Punk Hassad serves as a base for the Navy's scientific force, and Bega Punk began to lead the scientific team to engage in titanization research.

No, to be precise, this place has been a secret base of the scientific force for a long time.

However, the previous research was in other directions. This time, Vegapunk personally took the lead in researching the giantization experimental project.

Now Punk Hassad is also known as the Treasure House of Life. Of course, only those geological and meteorological biologists would care about this title.

The world's governments and navies have little awareness of protecting the environment.

Except for three laboratories, there are no traces of human activity anywhere else on the island.

But precisely because there are no human activities, there are very rich species living here, including plants and various rare animals.

There is even a red dragon, a mythical creature.

It is a creature created by Vegapunk to protect the base after the original research base was built.

A week ago, the research team led by Bega Punk started busy as soon as they entered the laboratory. This scientist who claims to have more than 500 years of experience in the world is also a workaholic.

After entering work mode, he is completely different from usual.

The largest laboratory in the middle is his main activity area, because there are too many things involved in the giantization experiment. Even Vegapunk couldn't figure it out during this period, let alone other researchers.

.

But this is normal. Everything is difficult at the beginning, let alone such a project that is already incredibly difficult.

There is a room in the main laboratory where a telephone bug surveillance system is built. There are screens arranged here, and the main screen in the middle faces each laboratory, observing the World Government prisoners inside who are used for experiments.

These prisoners are of all kinds, not just pirates.

Many of them are people secretly arrested by the CP, and there are also some officials and nobles in the kingdom who disobey the orders of the world government, etc.

Among them, there are only a few pirates brought out from Impelton.

Because the leader of this project is the World Government, and most of the pirates imprisoned in the deep-sea prison were captured by the navy.

The last time the World Government issued a direct order to send some pirates from Impel Down here for experiments, it had caused dissatisfaction in the Warring States Period.

Speaking of which, when he was the marshal during the Warring States Period, he had great control over the navy, and the Five Old Stars basically had no room to interfere.

This is actually not surprising. Most of the generals in power in the navy today were discovered and promoted by him.

If we are serious about conspiracy theories, sometimes it is really hard to say who is being restricted by the Shichibukai created by this world government.

Getting back to business, the screen returns to the main laboratory.

In a room with the most complete equipment, Vegapunk stood on an experimental bed in the room. Lying on the bed was a tall man with yellow hair and brown skin. He was wearing a black and white prison uniform and was restrained.

On the bed, his face was ferocious and frightened, and he wanted to scream, but after opening his mouth, there was only a hissing sound from his throat. In his constantly struggling body, it was like a few mice running under the carpet, holding himself up.

The bulge makes one's scalp numb.

There are a lot of wires on his body connected to several incomprehensible instruments on both sides, and there are also some data flowing along the way that ordinary people can't understand.

However, several people in the laboratory were all observing his condition with calm expressions, and there was a notebook in their hands that was constantly recording some of the data they observed.

Suddenly, the man's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets and flew out. Then he twitched a few times and his whole body was lifeless.

There were still complex emotions such as fear, pain, resentment, relief, etc. in his eyes that were not closed. A researcher came forward to check his pupils, and then opened his biting mouth. Even the teeth in his mouth were broken by him.

pellets.

The researcher checked it out and reported to Vegapunk: "Dr. Vegapunk, Experimental Subject No. 13 has been confirmed dead."

Yes, all the prisoners who come here are marked, they have no names and no future.

even……

Life is worse than death!

There was no expression on Vegapunk's face, and his eyes were a little dazed. This was because he was deep in thought.

Listening to the researcher's report, he subconsciously ordered: "Get rid of him and bring the next experimental subject over. I want to test the idea."

The other researchers did not disturb Vegapunk. They pushed open the silent door of the laboratory and called in the guards here.

It can be seen that the guards are very skilled in carrying the corpse.

Not long after, there was a sudden chaotic sound from outside the laboratory, and then soldiers guarded the room to report.

"Dr. Vegapunk, Experimental Subject No. 14 has disappeared."

The disturbed Vegapunk frowned and looked unhappy, "Didn't I say that every experimental subject is important? Especially this No. 14 is my important material. Why did this happen suddenly?"

It doesn't matter whether people run away or not, it's a big deal if it delays research.

The numbers of these people are not arranged randomly, but according to certain rules.

"The other party is a Devil Fruit user, but the sea stone handcuffs that locked him were somehow released." The soldier reported in a low voice, his tone full of confusion.

"Forget it, regardless of this, I specially kept a Devil Fruit user who can provide me with some inspiration. Tell Zhan Momomaru and the people in the World Government to find him for me by any means, or

Bring another person with the same animal type ability."

After leaving a few words, Vegapunk left the laboratory directly. Without Experimental Subject No. 14, the ideas to be verified next will come to a standstill.

We must capture 14 Hao, or... find a new animal devil fruit user.

He needs to rely on the powerful recovery ability of the animal system.

…

Prisoner's room.

Zhan Momomaru and the rear admiral in charge of security here appeared here.

Although Experimental Subject No. 14 is important, it is not so important as to be alone in a room. It is just that other people in the same room as No. 14 have been 'sacrificed' for science or for the unknown purpose of the world government.

So in this room that originally had four people, there was only one No. 14 left. After No. 13 was also taken to the laboratory today, the tall No. 14 obviously became more and more silent.

No one had noticed anything wrong with this guy before, but today the 14th suddenly disappeared, leaving only a huge pothole in the prison cell.

The last picture of the surveillance phone bug was suddenly blown up by a black shadow that could not be seen at all. If you want to find out the clues, you can only look at the prisoner himself.

The sea-floor stone cuff locked on his body must not have lost its effect for no reason. There must be something wrong somewhere.

Fortunately, the island itself is an uninhabited desert island, so there is no need to worry about the prisoners being able to escape immediately.

Zhan Momomaru jumped out of the hole in the ground, lowered his head and was thinking about something. This guy who is known as the most strict-mouthed guy in the world naturally has two skills to be favored by Kizaru.

"Major General Stoloberg, it seems that we have underestimated this prisoner before. It is rare for him to be able to escape directly from the underground."

The things here were arranged directly by people from the World Government. They had not interfered before. Unexpectedly, something went wrong not long after.

"Yes, it seems that the escaped prisoner is not an easy man. He was able to break free of the sea-floor stone handcuffs."

There are no Hailou stone handcuffs here, they were obviously taken away together by the prisoner.

This undoubtedly makes it more difficult for them.

Seeing that nothing could be found in the room, Zhan Momomaru and Stoloberg walked out of the prison cell together, just as the soldier who had just gone to report came back to deliver the news about Vegapunk.

"This is troublesome. It seems we have to find that guy as soon as possible." The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although it is true that Vegapunk's freedom is restricted by the World Government and the Navy, this does not mean that his power is reduced.

In fact, as long as Vegapunk doesn't want to escape, the World Government and the Navy will basically find a way to satisfy any of his requests.

Such talents must be treated well even by the world government.

Zhan Momomaru and Stoloberg came to the latter's office. Not long after they sat down, a soldier ran here panting.

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Major General, this is the information on the prisoners requested from the World Government."

He was holding a stack of information in his hand, which was the prisoner information that CP0 brought with him when he escorted Bega Punk to Punk Hassad.

Such information has never been handed over to the garrisoned navy, but has been kept in the CP organization under the World Government. The reason behind this is very thought-provoking.

Stoloberg's tall head looks a bit funny, and his beard is almost as long as his head. Standing next to the huge Zhan Momomaru wearing a bellyband is even more hilarious.

Both of them are confidants of General Porusalino, Zhan Momomaru is considered a disciple of Kizaru, and Stoloberg has always been with Kizaru's fleet.

If Garp and Mawson hadn't interfered with the Fish-Man Pirates, Stoloberg would have been promoted to Lieutenant General by this time.

But there is no if in reality.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a leisurely job.

Yes, if it hadn't happened now, Stoloberg would have been idle here for several years.
