Chapter 97: Sweeping Data
Lin Qi jumped out of the substitute castle directly.
"Vegapunk is such a macho guy... Living on this harsh winter island, he's actually thinking about the moon?"
Lynch flipped through the pile of information and quickly browsed through it. Well, he couldn't understand most of it.
Moreover, there are traces of smearing in many places.
It seems like someone has concealed the key information...
Is there an atmosphere on the moon? Is it an environment suitable for human activities?
Robin didn't understand - transforming the moon was indeed a surprising research, but in fact, there were many crazy ideas of scientists that sounded like science fiction. In the design drawings they had read before, there were also more exaggerated things than this research material on the moon. She didn't understand why Lynch was so shocked by this material?
Lin Qi was of course surprised. Many clues in the previous comics proved that the ultimate secret of the One Piece world was very likely to be inextricably linked to the moon! Whether it was the winged Sky Island people or Dr. Tsukimi in the cover page series...
The cover story after Enelu was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates was even more explicit! He found an uninhabited city in the cave on the moon, and used his Thunder Fruit ability to activate hundreds of robots in the city! On the walls of the lunar cave, Enelu also found murals that seemed to depict ancient stories, and even traces of ancient texts similar to those on the historical text stone tablets...
The ultimate secret that Pirate King Roger and his crew had to go through so much trouble to reach the final island of Raftel was discovered by Vegapunk, who was hiding in this winter island and started to study it himself...
Robin probably didn't feel anything about such a shocking behavior, but how could Lynch not be shocked?
"Lynch, look at this..." Robin pointed at a huge button on the wall. There was a huge skull pattern on the button. "Is this the self-destruct button that the father and daughter mentioned?"
Lin Qi pondered and said, "The design is so good that people really want to press it and try it out..."
Robin: "..." Why does he sound so serious, not like a joke? "What's going on?"
Lynch and Robin were looking at the self-destruct button on the wall when they suddenly heard the puzzled voices of the stationed navy officers in the corridor outside the room.
Lynch and Robin looked at each other.
A series of footsteps approached the door.
The marines raised their guns and pushed the door open to check.
The room was empty...
Right in front of them, a ghost in black armor passed through the marines as if no one was around, swaggered through the wall, and left Dr. Vegapunk's old research institute.
In the castle inside his body, Lin Qi touched his stomach and asked, "Are you hungry? What are you going to eat tonight?"
"You're getting hungry very quickly today." Robin poked his belly with his finger.
"It's all caused by this guy!" Lin Qi patted the wall of the substitute castle and said to himself, "Eat more so that I can digest the 'experience points' thoroughly!"
………………
“Indeed…someone has come in!!”
In Dr. Vegapunk's laboratory, the Marines found the design drawings crammed together and realized that something was seriously wrong.
Cold sweat crept up their foreheads.
"Notify the branch on the island immediately! As for whether to notify the headquarters... it depends on what the branch leader says! In any case, we must search the island first and find the intruder!"
"yes!!"
………………
While the Marines were busy, Lynch and Robin walked in the snow towards the hotel in the town.
On the way, under another tree, they saw Zhan Taomaru again.
When Lin Qi passed by, he saluted the little fat boy who was practicing his domineering spirit in the snow and greeted him: "Respect!"
"..." Robin and Zhan Taomaru didn't know how to react for a moment.
After returning to town, Lynch was too lazy to go to the restaurant to avoid running into that Fujitora guy again... so he ordered a lot of food from the hotel and had it delivered to his room.
Eat, digest, rest.
Entering the substitute castle, Robin girl quietly drank tea and read a book, while Lynch picked up the iron rod and had a hearty 1v1 man-to-man battle with the armor.
Robin read the book for a while, then hugged his knees and began to daydream.
Lin Qi rolled over exhausted. BIB was massaging his shoulders and back from behind. He asked lazily, "What's wrong?"
"In those materials today..." Robin was about to say something, but finally stopped talking when facing Lynch. "I think...some aspects of Vegapunk's research are similar to the results of the research of the doctors on O'Hara Island...but a lot of key information has been erased..."
Lin Qi flipped over and said, "Most of the research in that institute is about culture... It seems normal to involve research on history!"
However, although they both studied history, O'Hara ended up issuing an order to kill demons.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Vegapunk was recruited by the navy and given good food and drink...
"..." Robin stepped on Lynch's shoulder as he lay on the ground, supporting his chin with his feet, not knowing what he was thinking.
………………
Mechanical Island, the naval branch stationed in the "future country" Balkimoa.
"What?!"
"Someone broke into Dr. Vegapunk's research institute?!!!"
The branch chief was furious and ordered an island-wide search to find the intruder.
"Send more people to the research institute!"
"Check if there is any data missing from the institute... Damn it, the branch has no authority to access the institute's data! Wait a minute, and then consider notifying the headquarters..."
"Yes!" The Marines received the order and scattered.
Some marines went to the research institute, while others went into several towns and asked the residents one by one if they had found any suspicious people hanging around Dr. Vegapunk's research institute.
With his hands wrapped in dirty bandages, Sen Taomaru, who had just returned from hard training, passed by a marine who was questioning a father and daughter. Hearing the familiar description, he stopped and listened for a while.
………………
The next morning, Lynch drove the "BIB" and took Robin to Vegapunk's research institute again, continuing their adventure as if nothing had happened.
"There are many more navy officers outside the institute..."
There was a hole on the chest of the stand-in castle, and Robin was sitting in a row in mid-air, looking down at the surroundings of the institute.
It can be clearly seen that there are more marines stationed here patrolling everywhere today than yesterday, and there is no sign of them paddling leisurely like yesterday...
"Why bother with them?" Lynch expressed no interest and drove the "BIB" directly into the iron-clad research institute like a ghost.
Continuing from yesterday's progress, they looked through Vegapunk's piles of research materials.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Lynch just needs to go through it once in front of his eyes and leave a general impression in his memory. He can then copy all the characteristics of the original body through the substitute and reproduce the information when needed.
