One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 487 Ancient Weapons and Modern Technology

At the same time, inside the flower room, Lord Yim was still wearing a black robe.

The behind-the-scenes manipulator of the world government was strolling leisurely in the garden.

However, from the circle eyes that kept looking at Den Den Mushi from time to time and the slightly murderous intent emanating from them, it could be felt that Im was not as relaxed as he looked.

"How is it possible?" Once the news about the "ancient weapons" came out, it caused an uproar in the world.

People everywhere, who had heard of ancient weapons, were all deeply worried. If the legendary ancient weapons were still there and could be activated normally, then didn't it mean that the whole world was in danger?

"You said that the 'weapon' that caused the world to sink into the sea still exists somewhere in the world?!"

Some people also grasped another key point in Vegapunk's discourse - the great war.

"The war that happened eight hundred years ago is still going on? How is this possible?! It's impossible for anyone to survive from eight hundred years ago to the present!"

"How can such a war continue?"

People expressed their doubts loudly. It is only natural that when a person dies, his debts are forgiven, not to mention that the people who participated in that war were already eight hundred years old. Even among the longest-lived race in the world, the giants, the longest-lived person only lived for more than three hundred years!

However, Vegapunk could no longer hear, let alone answer.

He still keeps his pace and speaks to the world.

"I must express my sincerest apologies to everyone," Vegapunk said solemnly during the live broadcast, "but I hope everyone knows... I have created a power source that can become the foundation for the future development of the world's industry. Although it is not yet fully completed, the 'unquenchable flame' I have been researching has reached the stage where it can be put into formal use with a little more effort!"

Mother Fire...

Profik stared at the huge prototype device behind Vegapunk on TV. This thing looked a bit like a nuclear reactor, but whether it was or not was impossible to tell just by looking at what was on TV.

After all, there is no definitive answer to what a nuclear reactor should look like. As long as the corresponding technology is available, it may not be impossible for it to be in a triangular shape.

Besides, nuclear energy is not the only efficient energy source, and Vegapunk might have made some other discoveries.

“That is the driving force that will one day make life in every country in the world richer!”

Vegapunk is a scientist, but he is not oblivious to what is happening outside. He also pays attention to what is happening in the ocean.

Dawn has invested a large amount of money in the research and development of civilian technology, making Tom, Dr. Yuejian and others more and more famous, and they have indeed made great contributions to the development of the world.

As the user of the Brain-Brain Fruit, Vegapunk considers himself the smartest person in the world. However, he believes that a great scientist should not only be the smartest, but also make the greatest contribution to the world!

Spurred by Dawn's endless stream of technological breakthroughs, Vegapunk came up with an idea - to create an inexhaustible source of energy.

Not only will it make his name of Vegapunk known throughout the world, but it will also allow the people to gain real benefits!

According to Vegapunk's calculations, as long as the mother fire can be put into use, the world's energy problem can be fundamentally alleviated, and everyone in the world will have inexhaustible energy! In this way, everyone's work and life will surely be easier!

In this way, there will be no more poverty, no more hunger, no more war, no more killing in the world! People no longer need to sell their wives and children, no longer need to leave their homes, no longer need to flee to the ends of the earth, and no longer need to go out to sea to steal!

The world will usher in peace, prosperity and development!

"Vegapunk..." Profique shook his head, "You are too naive. Is it the resources that limit the development of this world? Oh, of course... But more important is the system! The World Government and the Celestial Dragons will not allow most people in this world to live a wealthy life."

"Otherwise, how can they collect the gold from heaven?"

The application of the Mother Fire is beneficial to most people in this world, but it is harmful to the rule of the world government.

The basis for the world government to confiscate the heavenly gold is precisely the turmoil in this world.

If there were no threat from pirates and no "Sword of Damocles" of war, which country would hand over so much Heavenly Gold every year to seek the protection of the World Government?

By then, the navy will be useless, each country will act on its own, the majesty of the world government will disappear, and the status of the Celestial Dragons as "world aristocrats" will be out of the question.

Vegapunk is a technological genius, but he lacks "political" sensitivity.

If you conduct research that is harmful to the world government with the support of the world government, you will inevitably be framed by the government!

Perhaps, Vegapunk had not failed to think about it, but he still held out a glimmer of hope for the World Government, so there would be such a live broadcast!

"However, that flame was stolen one day!" Vegapunk said in a distressed voice, "Although it was only a small piece, it was all my responsibility!"

"Less than two weeks later, a dazzling fire broke out in the sky near the Kingdom of Lulucia!" Vegapunk was filled with grief, as if he was trying hard to hold back his tears. "The news I received was that the entire Kingdom of Lulucia disappeared without a trace!"

Although the destruction of the Kingdom of Lulucia had already been broadcast on the "news", it still caused people's concern when it was mentioned again by Vegapunk.

"Who on earth destroyed the entire country?"

Especially those Lulucia people who left the Kingdom of Lulucia for some reasons, many of them couldn't help but shed tears when they talked about their homeland.

Even the navy found it incredible. The navy had a much deeper understanding of "ancient weapons" than the average person. Pluto was an ancient warship, and the Sea King was a mermaid princess, and probably the daughter of King Neptune, Shirahoshi!

These secrets in the eyes of the world are not secrets at all to the top brass of the Navy Headquarters.

Then, the one who can destroy the Kingdom of Lulucia can only be the "King of Heaven"!

"Was that done by the 'ancient weapon'?" Sakaski asked sullenly, "Borusalino, what do you think?"

Kizaru beside him showed a rare serious look: "No matter what, you have to be careful... Sakaski, you can't be too impulsive!"

"Plus, after that, I observed the signs of a world-scale earthquake..."

Vegapunk said sadly, "As a scientist, I should be proud of my inventions."

But in reality, Vegapunk felt more sadness and pain when his invention was used in war.

"As far as I know, the only energy source in the world that can produce such a huge amount of energy is the 'Mother Fire' that I invented."

Vegapunk didn't know about the existence of nuclear energy, but what he said was correct. Even the fission energy project led by Dr. Tsukimi could never supply energy for ancient weapons.

"The 'flame' I created activated the 'ancient weapon'!"

At this point, Vegapunk suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, saying loudly as he kowtowed, "Although we still don't know who launched this attack, the outcome of the matter is clear at a glance!"

"I supported an act that claimed countless lives!"

"I feel deeply that I have a great deal of responsibility and I am truly extremely sorry!!"
