Great Voyage: The Beginning of Mary Joa - Chapter 120

Although Ivan does not know what the weapon used by Im to destroy the Kingdom of Lulucia in the original work is, one thing is certain.

The weapon is broken, and the reason why it can successfully launch an attack is inseparable from the Holy Mother Flame studied by Vegapunk. The Holy

Mother Flame sounds like a weapon at first, but this thing has another name, the Mother Fire.

So Ivan judged that the thing should be the energy researched by Vegapunk.

The weapon should be the national treasure of the Celestial Dragons mentioned by Doflamingo, but it has been unable to be used due to lack of energy until Vegapunk completed the Holy Mother Flame.

As for why Doflamingo said that as long as he performed the immortal surgery through the operation fruit, he could master the national treasure of the Celestial Dragons, Ivan was also very curious.

So he planned to go to Doflamingo to ask.

This is not a troublesome thing.

The reason is that because of the Celestial Dragon hunting activity initiated by Ivan, Doflamingo became the new Shichibukai last year, four years earlier than in the original work.

After he became the new Shichibukai, just like in the original work, this guy almost immediately occupied Drosarossa, the country once owned by the Don Quixote family.

Drosarossa is not far from Punk Hazard, and it takes less than half a month to sail there.

But now, the priority is to deal with Vegapunk’s 23 matters.

“I still say that you don’t need to care how I know this,”

Ivan said seriously,”You just need to promise me that in the process of researching this energy, you will find some tricks to make it go wrong when it is used. That’s enough.”

“Are you kidding me?”

Vegapunk suddenly toughened up at this moment, he shouted angrily,”Young man! Do you want a scientist to tamper with his work and his child? Find someone else! I can’t do this kind of thing!” He is really persistent in strange places.

Ivan smiled,”Have you ever thought about it, Vegapunk, why the world government is researching this kind of energy?”

“Do you think they want to allow people across the entire ocean to enjoy cheap energy, thereby greatly increasing the ocean’s productivity and reducing wars over resources?”

“……！”

Vegapunk’s eyes widened.

He looked at Ivan and was speechless.

Let the people of the entire ocean enjoy cheap energy, thereby greatly improving the productivity of the ocean and reducing wars for resources.

This is his dream!

Let the fruits of science and technology truly benefit people, make Dongdao warmer, turn the desert back into an oasis, tame thunder, and control wind and rain.

This is the real use of science and technology, instead of putting it on the shelf and becoming the patent of only a few people.

Not to mention——

“Of course it is used for killing.”

Ivan said,”Let me be frank. The government has a weapon that is probably passed down from ancient times, but it lacks energy so it cannot be used.”

“What they asked you to do is to revive that weapon.”

“……”

Vegapunk was stunned for a moment, then he asked repeatedly,”Ancient weapons? Is it one of the legendary ancient weapons? Is it a product of the mysterious ancient kingdom in the blank hundred years?”

“I don’t know about that.”

Ivan shook his head,”But you know, given the government’s style, if that weapon is fully resurrected, what will they do?”

“……”

Vegapunk fell silent again.

He knew the morals of the Celestial Dragons too well.

If they really had such weapons, what would they do? Vegapunk didn’t dare to think about it.

“But how do I know what you say is true?”

Vegapunk said stubbornly.

“”Don’t say such stupid things,”

Ivan sneered,”Then tell me, what is the purpose of the government’s research on new energy?”

Vegapunk was speechless.

What other purpose could the government have?

After kidnapping him for so many years, what else has he done except making weapons and devil fruits?

The government does not reject technology, and it can even be said that it attaches importance to it, but it is extremely disgusted with spreading technology. This is what Vegapunk confirmed.

“And don’t forget, I’m not negotiating with you.”

Ivan snorted,”This is a threat.”

“You don’t want to be hunted by the world government, do you?”

“”Hey! You bastard!!”

Vegapunk shouted unwillingly,”That’s too despicable!”

“Don’t be stupid,”

Ivan said,”With your brain, can’t you make an energy source that can be used for civilian purposes but will go wrong only when used as a power source for powerful weapons?”

“Isn’t that good? Isn’t it what you want to keep your children from being used in wars?”

Vegapunk was stunned, then he stroked his chin and nodded gently, his huge carrot-like head shaking with it,”It sounds like it makes sense!”

And it’s not difficult. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“That’s it.”

Ivan nodded in satisfaction,”Okay, I’ve stated my conditions, now go get me the devil fruit.”

“Hey! You are really rude!”

Vegapunk was very angry,”At least give me a please!”

“I told you, now it’s a threat”[]

Ivan sneered,”Have you ever seen a kidnapper who is respectful to the hostages?”

“What an annoying brat! Then you just wait here for me!”

Vegapunk blew his beard and glared, then turned around, opened the door of the laboratory and went out.

Ivan really waited here, not worried about being tricked by Vegapunk.

On the one hand, Ivan really didn’t care. Even if Vegapunk really called for help, what could happen? The strongest in the base was Zhan Taomaru.

Secondly, Ivan believed in Vegapunk’s character. This guy is a good person! Do you understand the value of good people in this world?

Sure enough, Ivan didn’t have to wait too long. Vegapunk came back and brought Ivan a pink fruit with scale-like protrusions and spiral patterns on the surface.

“This is it.”

Without any regret, Vegapunk threw the devil fruit in his hand to Ivan,”Hey, it’s just a failed replica, I don’t know what you’re going to do with it.”

Ivan summoned the ninjas and asked them to keep the fruit.

He was ready to leave.

But

“Young man,”

Vegapunk looked at Ivan, hesitated again, and then asked,”What do you think I should do?”

“What?

Ivan stopped.

“I work for the government for funding,”

Vegapunk was a little confused,”My research requires a lot of funding.”

“However, my research was originally intended to make the world more peaceful and to make the lives of people in all countries like my hometown better.”

Vegapunk’s hometown is Balkimoia, a future country, a winter island covered with ice and snow. Vegapunk once wanted to transform the environment of his hometown, but failed, and he has always been upset about it.

“However, all the government research does not seem to be for this purpose. The world government seems to be dismissive of peace and the people on the sea.”

Vegapunk wanted to say these words to people a long time ago, but he never had the chance.

And Ivan, the enemy of the government, has become a listener at this time,”I have actually been asking myself, is this really right?”

For the sake of funding and to realize his dreams, he ignores what the government does. Is this really right?

A man with a genius mind that transcends his time is still at the level of a normal person in terms of emotional intelligence.

“Isn’t this a simple question?”

Ivan said calmly,”Isn’t it better to just slack off?”

“Fishing?”

Vegapunk blinked blankly.

“Ask for as much funding as you can, do as much private work as you can, be lazy at work as you can, and produce results as slowly as you can.”

Ivan said calmly.

“”Hey!!”

Vegapunk was shocked.”But, is this okay? Isn’t this too unprofessional?”

“You can spend more time on the research you desire.”

Ivan spread his hands,”If the government urges you, just make up an excuse. I don’t believe the government has better scientists than you.”

Vegapunk’s eyes lit up immediately,”It sounds like it makes sense!”
