Chapter 146 Vegapunk
Zhao Yu, who received the assurance from the Akainu boss, went to practice with peace of mind, and Bald Qiang was responsible for monitoring the Blue Bird Club.
Time flies, a few days pass quickly, and the day of assessment has arrived.
Zhao Yu himself was not the only one who participated in the Jinsheng Major assessment, there were also more than a dozen Navy NPCs and Blue Bird Wings.
Zhao Yu was not surprised at all when he saw him, because he knew that this person would come, and Akainu had already sent someone to notify him.
This person's original achievements and position were not enough to participate in this assessment, and Akainu disagreed. However, Sengoku seemed to have promised Akainu something that Akainu could not refuse.
For this reason, Akainu specifically notified Zhao Yu and gave him ten spots in the headquarters navy as compensation.
The boss had spoken, and Zhao Yu couldn't say anything, but he had to sigh that this man was really lucky.
During the Warring States Period, they obviously wanted to find a player to limit Zhao Yu, the number one player. It should be the player's influence on the position of marshal. He just picked up the opportunity.
But that cannot be said absolutely, they still have a certain level of strength.
If their guild hadn't ranked first in contribution among the navy of Aokiji's faction, it wouldn't have been their turn to pick it up.
There are 17 players and NPCs in total for this assessment, but there are only three major general spots, and the competition is very fierce.
Of course, the navy's assessment is not as simple as a battle. They will be taken to an island infested with giant beasts to hunt the giant beasts. Each giant beast is worth a certain number of points based on its strength.
Competitors can attack each other. The winner can get all the points of the loser. The top three who get points will be qualified for promotion.
Zhao Yu didn't know what courage the president of the Blue Bird Club had to participate in this type of competition.
"Colleagues, although the competition system this time is based on competition rules, you must not kill someone intentionally. Violators will be treated as traitors to the navy."
After announcing the rules to Zhao Yu and others, Warring States warned everyone.
Everyone nodded and stepped onto the ship dedicated for the assessment. This was actually a teleportation array. As soon as they stepped on it, they were teleported to the assessment location.
This is mainly because there are players participating in the assessment, and the game cannot allow players to float at sea for several days for an assessment.
Sengoku, Garp, and the three generals were all on the ship outside the pirates. They could watch them hunt the giant beasts on the island through special devices.
After a navy officer announced the start of the assessment, Zhao Yu took the lead and flew out on moon steps.
The other NPCs may have never seen such a big battle. They were a little nervous and followed Zhao Yu after they saw him rushing out.
It's not their fault. They grew up listening to the legends of these people. With so many legendary people acting together, tension is inevitable.
As for Blue Bird Wings, he simply reacted slowly.
Seeing this scene, Akainu also grinned. He was being targeted miserably by the Warring States Period and could only rely on Zhao Yu to improve his support rate in the navy.
After Zhao Yu arrived on the island, he could easily feel the aura of the giant beasts on the island. These giant beasts were all high-level hunters, and their auras could not be hidden from Zhao Yu, who had mastered the domineering power of seeing, hearing, and color.
He pulled out the [Griffin] from his waist, took away a huge centipede hidden in the dead leaves with one knife, and rushed to the next location without looking back.
At this moment, he suddenly heard an explosion in his ears. He turned around and saw that a "person" who looked like "Barsolomi Bear" of the King's Shichibukai appeared next to Blue Bird Wings.
As soon as it reached the laser, it blasted through a giant locust.
Although this thing has not yet made its debut, Zhao Yu knows that it is the Pacifist PX series of humanoid weapons from the World Government.
The first appearance was in the Shampoo Islands, and now he is following Zhan Momomaru on his mission to eliminate pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions of Baileys.
The Straw Hats spent a lot of effort to eliminate this thing two years ago. If it weren't for Bartholomew Bear and them, they would have been wiped out.
After seeing this, Akainu stood up and asked Sengoku: "What's going on? Why is the "pacifist" that was just successfully developed shown here?"
"It's his own thing and we have no reason to stop him from using it."
Sengoku looked at the excited Akainu and said, and then he explained to Akainu.
"This is his reward for completing the mission of Dr. Vegapunk. It was not given to him by us. Otherwise, why do you think I would choose him?"
After hearing this, Akainu sat back silently. He knew that Sengoku still didn't bother to lie about this kind of thing.
He was actually not too panicked. The pacifists were not weak, but they were still inferior to those big pirates worth hundreds of millions of beli.
He knew all the navy members who participated in this assessment, and none of them could pose a threat to Zhao Yu.
When he asked just now, he wasn't worried about Zhao Yu, he just wanted an explanation.
Zhao Yu here really didn't care. The "pacifist" thing was too small to pose a threat to him.
But this thing reminded him of an important figure in the navy, which was naturally Vegapunk.
It was this person who unlocked the conditions for the transmission of Devil Fruit abilities and was able to imbue objects with Devil Fruit abilities.
A few years ago, a method was invented to use sea tower stones to allow naval warships to cross the windless zone, allowing the navy to freely travel to other seas.
At the same time, it also used the Big Bear as a template to create a human weapon called "Pacifist" for the Navy, which is what Bluebird Wings currently uses.
Vegapunk left behind a huge science laboratory in the future country, one of which was blown up by Franky pressing the wrong button.
The other, larger and more mechanized one was used for Franky's two-year further education. Franky can be said to be the successor to Vegapunk's childhood dream.
In his early years, Vegapunk's invention in his hometown was to semi-mechanize animals. Later, in order to improve the lives of the islanders, he built large-scale heating furnaces, but was forced to stop due to lack of technology and funds.
After becoming a government scientist, he raised a pet dragon, an artificial creature, in Punk Hassad.
Human giant experiment! Discover the ancestry factor! Create the first artificial devil fruit! Anti-virus suit! These are all related to this person.
From devil fruits to machine manufacturing to genetic technology, he is proficient in everything and is a true genius scientist.
He is known as a scientist who is 500 years beyond human wisdom, the number one scientist in the world government, and claims to have scientific and technological capabilities that are 500 years beyond modern times.
He is a very mysterious scientist who has not yet appeared in the comics, but his influence is everywhere and he is the only man who fully understands Devil Fruit.
Although the madman Caesar Crown always wants to compete with him, he can't reach the height of Vegapunk.
The reason why Zhao Yu forgot about this person was because he had never appeared on the scene.
This person has slipped into the shadows a few times in One Piece's 1,000 episodes. If there weren't so many things related to him, who would have remembered this person.
"Jiaojiao, ask someone to inquire about Bega Punk at the Navy Headquarters. He is a Navy scientist.
After the investigation is clear, insert a few people around him, preferably experts from our scientific research department. "
Now that he thought of it, he couldn't miss it anymore. Zhao Yu immediately contacted Jiaojiao.
"Okay, Mr. President~"
"Hey! Are you sick? Come on, man!"
"piss off!"
"okay!"
…
Zhao Yu's idle chatting did not delay him from hunting the giant beasts. The giant beasts on the periphery of the island were not strong enough and could not even block his sword.
However, while the strength of these giant beasts is not high, their points are also low, and everyone is rushing towards the inner circle.
So far, Zhao Yu is leading in points, but there is not a big gap.
The reason why the giant beasts on this island are said to be disasters is because they are all insects and are very aggressive.
There used to be villages on the island, but the navy was slow after receiving the news, and the villages on the island had been destroyed.
Afterwards, Navy scientists studied for a period of time, but to no avail. They also did not figure out the reason why these insects became gigantic.
The assessment site was set up here this time because there were so many giant beasts on the island that they had to be dealt with.
Because of the problem of island resources, some giant insects are already preparing to migrate overseas.
Once this extremely aggressive beast migrates to an inhabited island and breeds, it will definitely be another disaster.
Never doubt the adaptability of insects!
