The appearance of Yoriichi Tsugakuni made it impossible for Vegapunk to continue his experiment. When his face was projected onto the screen in the laboratory through the vision of the Seraph, Vegapunk recognized Yoriichi Tsugakuni at a glance.
On the one hand, Vegapunk was familiar enough with Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, and on the other hand, he had seen Yoshiichi Tsugakuni without markings on the Seraph countless times.
And it was precisely because of this that Vegapunk was able to recognize Yoriichi Tsugakuni instantly the moment he saw him.
"Let them all go away first."
After stopping the fight between the two sides, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi turned his head slightly and spoke to Yixiao beside him. While speaking, Yoshiichi glanced at the new navy gathered on the coast.
Yixiao quickly understood what Jikoku Yoshiichi was thinking, nodded silently, and left the battlefield directly, walking towards the new navy who were watching the fun.
"Don't gather here and cause trouble. Disband, everyone."
Just as he was driving away the crowd of onlookers with a smile, Tsugikoku Yoriichi slowly walked in front of little Tsugikoku Yoriichi, looked at him intently, touched his chin and nodded slightly.
Although little Tsugimiya Yoriichi was standing in front of Tsugimiya Yoriichi at this time, Tsugimiya Yoriichi's observation Haki still could not capture the other party's breath.
This Seraph created using his own bloodline factors perfectly replicated his ability to see, hear and kill. If Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have been able to imagine that Vegapunk could use the power of genes to this level.
In this sea, the growth of every strong man is extremely difficult. They need to go through countless battles of all sizes in their lives. Only by relying on luck and adventure can they gain rich combat experience and powerful strength.
However, the growth process of this kind of strong man becomes somewhat insignificant to Vegapunk. As long as he is willing, as long as he can obtain the bloodline factors of the strong, relying on science and technology, he can continue to create strong men.
There is no doubt that this is a force that can change the whole world.
Today's relatively stable world power structure will also be destroyed at an accelerated pace with the birth of this technology.
"Dr. Vegapunk, it's been so many years since we last met. Do you intend to meet like this?!"
Seeing that the crowd had almost dispersed, Yuichiro Tsugakuin also asked with a smile on his face the little Yuichiro Tsugakuin in front of him.
He understood that Vegapunk should be somewhere inside Mr. Lantern's body, watching everything happening on the coast, so from the beginning, the person he talked to was Vegapunk himself.
However, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's overly young face finally suppressed Vegapunk's joy of seeing Tsugakuni Yoshiichi again, and instead made him seriously explore the secret that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was carrying.
Vegapunk knew that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni had pure gold in his hands, but the effect of pure gold was only to slow down the natural aging of humans, and it had no way to give people the power of rejuvenation.
But what happened to Yuichiro Tsuchikuni at this time was different. There was no doubt that Yuichiro Tsuchikuni had truly regained his youth.
In Vegapunk's opinion, only Im, the highest authority hidden behind the Five Elders of the World Government, could obtain such power.
Or rather... according to his current understanding, there is only one person in this world who has the potential to grant others the power of eternal life.
Im will definitely grasp that level of power firmly, and Vegapunk can be sure that Im will never let the secret of immortality leak out.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's current state even looked like he had been summoned by the World Government.
Vegapunk has been living in the deep sea for many years, and it was only a while ago that he completely took control of Lord Lantern and controlled the sea beasts to surface.
The first place we arrived at was Cake Island, the headquarters of the new navy.
It is understandable that Vegapunk, who knows little about the current world situation, begins to be wary of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, because the New Navy has cut off contact with him over the years, which is a huge difference from Vegapunk's original idea.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni could also feel the subtle wariness revealed by Vegapunk, and he was not surprised. After all, they hadn't seen each other for so many years, so it was natural that he would be a little unfamiliar. Moreover, the relationship between him and Vegapunk was just a simple cooperative relationship. The two of them did not have much contact, and their understanding of each other was extremely limited.
Or in other words... the understanding is only one-sided. Yoriichi Tsugakuni understands Vegapunk's personality and temperament, but Vegapunk's understanding of Yoriichi Tsugakuni is not very deep.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, and we've become a little unfamiliar."
"How are Robin and my men doing?"
"It took so long to get back. It must have been very hard along the way."
Yuichiro Tsugakuya did not intend to easily hide Vegapunk's slight distrust. He smiled and spoke to Yuichiro Tsugakuya, directly pointing out Vegapunk's slight vigilance.
At the same time, Yoriichi also asked about Robin's recent situation. He did not forget that he had a capable young subordinate who had been trapped in the belly of Lord Lantern for many years.
Sure enough, when Jiguo Yuanyi mentioned Robin, before Vegapunk could respond, a mature and emotional female voice came from the loudspeaker on Xiaomihawk's chest: "We are doing pretty well, Mr. Jiguo Yuanyi."
Robin's voice had changed slightly compared to before. It was a little deeper and more mature. There was no strong emotion in her tone, but Tsugikuni Yoriichi could feel the joy that Robin was trying hard to suppress.
"Thank you for your hard work, Robin. Welcome back."
A faint smile appeared on Yunyi's face, gentle, warm and kind, and his eyes were clear and calm.
When Vegapunk and Robin in the laboratory saw the extremely familiar expression on Ji Guoyuan's face, the slight tension and worry in their hearts immediately disappeared.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Although Vegapunk has spent almost his entire life in the laboratory, his judgment of people is actually very accurate.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who can have such eyes, is not the kind of person whose heart is filled with desire.
The mechanical sea beast's mouth opened again. This time, no new Seraphim came out of it. The smile that had dispersed the crowd came to the side of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, and several people's eyes were also looking towards the dark abyss mouth of the mechanical sea beast.
After a long time, a ray of light appeared from the mouth of the sea beast, and the roar of a speedboat engine also came into the ears of several people.
A fully enclosed fish-shaped speedboat quickly emerged from Lord Lantern's mouth. After approaching the coast, the transparent protective cover slowly opened. Vegapunk, wearing a white coat and with an apple-shaped transmitter on his head, slowly stood up from the cockpit and looked in the direction of Jigoku Yuanyi, Yixiao and others.
Next to him was a short-haired woman wearing a special aqua blue combat uniform. Perhaps because she had not seen the sun for many years, the girl's skin was quite fair. She exuded the aura of an intellectual woman, but judging from her appearance alone, she was no different from a girl.
The woman who sailed with Vegapunk to the coast of Wan Guo was Robin, who had not been seen for a long time.
Her appearance has not changed much compared to before. Perhaps it is because Robin has not been exposed to the wind and sun during the years in the belly of the Lantern Mermaid, and her skin condition is even better than what Tsugakuin Yoshiichi remembered.
After a quick look, Yuanyi's eyes were focused on the inconspicuous black ring on Robin's hand.
He didn't remember Robin ever having the habit of wearing rings. Moreover, the ring on Robin's finger was dark in color and not at all eye-catching, but there was one thing that was very strange. It was obviously a women's ring, but the width of the black ring was unusually large, at three or four centimeters.
A ring of this width is simply not suitable for women unless...
The purpose of this ring itself is not just for decoration.
Symbolic meaning? Judging from the position where Robin wears the ring, there should be no symbolic meaning. Wearing the ring on the index finger of the right hand... Yunyi is not sure what the meaning of this practice is.
Instead, Yunyi subconsciously scanned the ring with his Observation Haki and discovered that the ring contained hidden secrets.
"Pure gold?" Ji Guoyuan said in his heart, his expression did not change at all.
"Dr. Vegapunk, have you completed your research on pure gold?!"
In front of Mihawk and Issho, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had no intention of hiding the fact that the power of pure gold was very important to the New Navy. As long as the senior leaders of the New Navy were all equipped with pure gold, their New Navy would truly have the ability to compete with the World Government.
When the leadership of the new navy obtains the power of immortality through pure gold, they will have plenty of time to change the world and make it develop in the direction they expect.
By then, no matter what methods the world government comes up with to deal with them, in the face of the long river of time, the forces of both sides will return to the same basis to compete.
"You mean pure gold? That kind of thing has certainly been researched, but the purification materials needed to extract it are not found in the stomach island."
"I also borrowed the experimental base left behind in the stomach island in the early years to produce several effective pure gold samples."
Unlike Yunyi's relaxed attitude, Vegapunk immediately showed a nervous expression when the pure gold was mentioned. He looked around and saw that there was indeed no one else around. He finally let out a breath and said with a bit of complaint, "You should be more careful."
"You should know the value of pure gold. If the news leaks out, everyone in the world will be in a state of panic."
"Even a powerful new navy cannot withstand the siege of the entire world."
"Be sure to be cautious and keep the news secret!" Vegapunk warned in a deep voice. Seeing his serious expression, Mihawk and Yixiao also became serious.
They didn't know what the pure gold that Vegapunk and Jiguo Yuanyi were discussing at the moment was, but looking at Vegapunk's mysterious look, they knew it must be something extraordinary.
"Hmm? Where's that ring of yours?"
Speaking of pure gold, Vegapunk finally noticed Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's empty hands. The pure gold ring that the father and daughter had given to Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had long since vanished without a trace.
"Lost in a battle."
Yoriichi's words made Vegapunk's eyes widen. He had made pure gold himself and knew how much resources and time it took to successfully produce a piece of pure gold.
Such a precious thing was actually lost, and even lost from a strong man like Yoriichi Tsugikuni. The amount of information contained in it is enough for a smart person like Vegapunk to guess many things.
The enemy that Yuichiro Tsugakuni has to face must be very powerful, so powerful that even Yuichiro Tsugakuni cannot protect his personal belongings.
"That's such a pity~"
All the guesses in my mind turned into a sigh in the end.
Vegapunk naturally regretted the loss of the pure gold. Even if Dou didn't own such a precious thing, he would still feel sorry if he knew it was lost.
"What a pity?!"
"Not really."
"At least I know how to deal with the Five Elders."
"Now that you're back, I think we can start preparing to ascend the Holy Land again and finish everything we haven't done before!"
Ji Guoyuan had a smile on his face, and he already had a clear goal and preliminary plan in his mind.
"The way to serve fellow villagers?! Could it be..."
Vegapunk's mind worked quickly, and in an instant he guessed that pure gold might have some effect on the immortal bodies of the Five Elders.
The light in his eyes flashed, but soon dimmed.
"Making pure gold is not easy; it requires both materials and time."
"I'm afraid there's no way to replicate it in this short period of time."
Hearing Vegapunk mention the difficulties of making pure gold, Yunyi did not feel embarrassed:
"The New Navy will do everything they can to help you."
"With our current strength, as long as the materials for making pure gold are available, we can find a way to obtain it."
"And we don't need a lot. Just in case, we only need to bring six copies. That should be enough to completely eradicate the Celestial Dragons!"
Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's eyes were burning, and the determination and murderous intent that he inadvertently revealed also made Vegapunk's heart tremble. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi seemed to have become a little different, but what exactly was different, Vegapunk was a little confused for a moment.
Was it because the killing intent was too strong? No! The hands of the former Ji Guoyuanyi were also stained with the blood of countless people.
Becoming strong and domineering?! No, Yoriichi still has a gentle side, and he used to be the leader of the New Navy, so his domineering behavior is not new.
After looking at Yoriichi, Vegapunk nodded silently, expressing his approval of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's previous words.
The long-lost Vegapunk has returned, which is a big event for the New Navy.
However, Yunyi did not intend to leak this news, but instead asked Yixiao to issue a gag order to all witnesses on the coast at that time.
This technological power will be the trump card of their new navy in foreign wars!
Before enough pure gold was forged, Yoriichi asked Vegapunk to serve as the director of the new Naval Technology Research Bureau to help maintain and improve the ships and guns that had been in use for many years.
The major upgrade of basic equipment will also increase the combat effectiveness of the new navy!
