Chapter 30 Vegapunk[VIP]
Sengoku had already asked about Garp and Kuzan's statements when he spoke to Vegapunk earlier.
Vegapunk also knew that if it was just a holographic projection, it would be impossible to do what Yale did.
Projections are just projections, they are illusory. They can be used to scare people, but they cannot be used for actual attacks.
But Vegapunk proposes a new possibility, namely optical cloaking technology combined with holographic projection.
This technology is still only at the conceptual level in Vegapunk.
Due to insufficient funds and sufficient manpower, and the fact that he was dependent on others, he was unable to research and invent according to his own preferences, so he had not yet carried out in-depth research on optical stealth technology.
However, even without in-depth research, Vegapunk can be sure that this technology is definitely feasible.
If the other party came from outer space and mastered some high-tech that they did not have, then optical invisibility was likely the other party's means of hiding the island.
If combined with holographic projection, the question of why one cannot touch the other person but the other person can touch oneself may be explained.
The other party used optical invisibility to hide himself, and then used holographic projection to create an illusion of himself.
What they attack is the illusion, while what attacks them is the opponent's true body.
This may sound a bit confusing, but it is completely feasible if you think about it.
"In fact, we can only analyze it according to this situation at present." Zhan Guo said seriously.
"The reason I sent Borsalino to Future Island was to retrieve the tool that could control the holographic projection—"
*
"--Light Pressure Gloves. According to Vegapunk, these are gloves that prevent light from being perceived visually, allowing you to 'touch' objects created by holographic projections..."
Inside the Shiragi Pirates' Iron Bucket, the naval meeting was projected onto a white screen from Aokiji Kuzan's first-person perspective.
Sitting in the captain's metal chair, Yale tried the meaningless native rum.
He frowned, put the wine glass back on the table with disgust, and then supported his cheek with his hand, looking at the curtain lazily.
The crew members of the Shiragutetsu Pirates lowered their heads and said nothing.
Their captain, the former king of Drum Island, knelt with a bruised face and nose, and ate piece after piece of metal in tears according to the material ratio projected by the terminal.
This is terrifying... That red-haired guy not only controlled his loyal subordinates, but also monitored the meeting room of the Navy Headquarters without being discovered by the Navy?!
The other party is ten thousand times more terrifying than what is said in the news.
Wapol thought fearfully, and while looking at the recipe, he glanced at the strange man standing not far behind Yale.
The other person looked like a normal human being, but his outfit looked very familiar to Wapol.
And Yale called the man "Morgans", so the man was most likely Morgans, the president of the World Economic Daily who was kidnapped.
It turns out he's not really dead...
"Have you heard of this guy called Vegapunk?"
The sudden sound in the silent cabin frightened Wapol so much that he stuffed a piece of metal, which was not sure whether it was iron or aluminum, into his mouth.
The metal ball immediately spoke, in an emotionless and uncomfortable voice.
"Too much aluminum!"
The metal chair turned around. "You have one more chance to make a mistake."
Yale looked at Wapol, leaning back with his chin in his hand, looking very lazy.
But it was such a lazy guy who used such a tough and domineering tone that made Wapol almost cry.
"If the terminal reports an error again, I will give your devil fruit to someone else and throw you into the sea to feed the sea kings."
"I...I'm sorry. I won't make the same mistake again."
Wapol decisively admitted his mistake and continued his synthesis work honestly.
Morgans withdrew his gaze with a gloating look, and behaved more respectfully, as if he wanted to appear more loyal and reliable compared to Wapol.
"Respected Captain Yale, Vegapunk is the world's… our planet's leading scientist. He's a member of the government's science class, a user of the Parahuman Brain-Brain Fruit, and has invented many amazing things..."
Yale was quite satisfied with his answer, and he had also learned some of the rest of the information that Morgans knew but had not had time to say by reading his brain waves.
This Vegapunk is indeed very powerful. His most well-known inventions are the seastone warship and GP Flowers (a kind of flower that can bloom in gunpowder).
In addition, there are some unknown things, such as bloodline factors, biological modification, cloning, etc.
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?"
"...What?" Morgans didn't understand why Yale suddenly sighed like that.
Is there anything funny about Vegapunk? He thought about it and suddenly realized what Yale meant.
Morgans quickly agreed, "Of course. Compared to the technology you possess, Vegapunk's inventions are certainly ridiculous!"
Yale glanced at Morgans and sneered softly, but was too lazy to correct the misunderstanding.
He was not saying that Vegapunk was ridiculous, but that the rulers of this planet were short-sighted, weak-willed, and as lowly as dust.
Such a great scientist, instead of promoting him to benefit the whole planet, he is locked up and made to serve only a small group of people.
Tsk tsk, but it's understandable. How can the ruler of a civilization that still retains slavery and is mainly based on resource monopoly and colonial plunder be a wise and far-sighted person?
What's even more ridiculous is that while some people on this planet are still using oil lamps for lighting, others have already transformed into iron warriors.
Such distorted technological development, such unbalanced technological popularization - this is indeed the most peculiar planet that Yale has ever encountered since he can remember.
"Okay, let's go find Vegapunk first."
Calling up the virtual screen, Yale turned off the magnetic force of the Water City that he had previously read and stored, and decided to temporarily change his itinerary.
Vegapunk and even the government science class he belongs to are very useful to him, and he wants to take away the entire Future Island.
Morgans was briefly surprised and nodded quickly.
"Of course, I will follow your orders."
Of course, his newspaper headquarters also has a permanent pointer to Future Island.

The village of Cocosia, until a few months ago, was struggling to survive under the rule of the brutal fish-man pirate Arlong.
Later, a pirate named Luffy defeated Arlong, and their village finally returned to peace and tranquility...that's how it should have been.
But later, another person came to their island and directly controlled everyone's consciousness with his tough and terrifying power, making everyone willingly obey his orders.
They lined up to receive their citizen ID cards, and some of them changed their original occupations under the scanning of a strange metal ball.
The next day, they voted to elect a new mayor for Kokosia City - Ajian was elected with almost unanimous votes.
But he refused, and the job of mayor eventually fell on the head of the village doctor Na Gao.
Nagao was also one of the villagers controlled by the man named Yale.
He has his own consciousness, can communicate with others normally, and express his own opinions, but he only shows absolute loyalty and fanaticism when facing the issue of "Captain Yale".
As one of the only two normal people in Kokosia Village, Nokigo has felt the bone-chilling chill and fear from the villagers he once knew more than once.
For example, today, after a group of outsiders came here, the villagers almost fought with them, just because they said "We are not followers of that Yale" when they entered the village.
Fortunately, Noqigao was chatting with Ajian at the police station at that time.
Hearing the noise outside, the two immediately rushed out to help.
It was easy to rescue him. Nokigo simply said, "They must be joking. There is no one in the island group who is not a follower of the respected Captain Yale~"
"Hey, that makes sense."
"The respected Captain Yale is capable of doing anything."
"You guys are such a joke."
The villagers smiled and dispersed.
Nojigo then looked at the three outsiders who had caused the commotion.
The most imposing white-haired man was burly and had a fierce look on his face. Although the remaining two were also trying hard to look reliable, it was obviously useless and they still looked very unimposing.
"You..." Ajian looked at the three people suspiciously.
Through eye contact, they reached a certain consensus - the other person was a sober person who was not under control.
"Come with me." Ajian took the three people to his police station.
After learning that the white-haired man in front of him was from Rogue Town, he immediately became excited and asked questions repeatedly.
"You're from Rogue Town?! Have you seen the orange-haired girl with a windmill tattoo on her shoulder with Straw Hat Luffy in Rogue Town?"
"Straw Hat Luffy?" Smoker's eyes immediately became sharp.
Coby asked excitedly, "Do you know Mr. Luffy?!"
"Luffy is the savior of our village!"
Before Ajian could finish his sigh, he was interrupted by Nojigo, who had been observing the three people.
"Ajian, we haven't completely confirmed their identities yet."
Noji asked cautiously, "Mr. Smoker, you are not an ordinary civilian in Rogue Town, right?"
Judging from his appearance and aura alone, Smoker doesn't look like an ordinary person.
To Nojigo, he felt more like... a dark and evil force. In any case, he was oppressive and scary.
Smoker nodded and introduced himself directly, "I used to be a captain at the Naval Headquarters of the Naval Branch stationed in Rogue Town."
Behind him, Coby and Bellemeber nodded excitedly.
Honestly, they were thrilled when they learned about Smoker's past identity while on their journey.
This is a colonel in the naval headquarters, and his value is much higher than that of the navy of the same level.
However, after learning of Smoker's identity as a navy soldier, neither Nojiko nor Ken showed any excitement at being saved.
Not only did the two of them become more alert, they also kept a distance from them.
