Chapter 137 Golden Moon Dr. Tsukimi
Kevin knew about the giant robot that crawled onto the Red Earth Continent and attacked Mary Geoise more than two hundred years ago.

In fact, although the technological level of Baldigo’s current research institute is much higher than that of the outside world, it is still far inferior to the future technology island in memory.

The power of the Brain-Brain Fruit cannot turn a fool into a genius, nor can it make technology evolve from the First Industrial Revolution to the level of Egg Island in memory.

The ability of the fruit simply gave Vegapunk a huge repository of information that he could access at any time, but it also made his brain much larger than that of a normal person.

Perhaps the Brain-Brain Fruit first appeared eight hundred years ago because a scientist was troubled by the lack of storage capacity in his brain, which led to the creation of this fruit.

Nearly four years ago, he semi-forced Vegapunk back to Baldigo in O'Hara.

During these three years, Vegapunk has spent a huge amount of money and brought sufficient returns to the Revolutionary Army.

Bolt-action rifles, assault guns, and new ship guns are reflected in the basic combat power.

But if we talk about black technology, perhaps it was only more than three years, and the research project based on bloodline factors was not even as powerful as Germa's cyborg nineteen years later.

Of course, Baldigo's research institute can study mechanical combat power, but it will not allow research on clones.

So... the giant mechanical soldier that attacked Marijoa, whose entire body was made of the technology of the great kingdom from eight hundred years ago, is really something that must be obtained.

But Marijoa...

Even Vegapunk's research institute has the advanced technology to isolate space. He doesn't believe that the World Government, which has ruled the world for eight hundred years, has no way to defend against space-related abilities when they have the Teleport Fruit and the Door-Door Fruit.

But Marijoa is not a place where there is no hope of survival.

In my memory, Tiger climbed up a few years later, released a large number of slaves and escaped unscathed.

Nineteen years after the original work, during the World Conference, Sabo cooperated with the Revolutionary Army to infiltrate Marijoa and even confronted the Five Elders and Im.

It seems like...it might be very feasible.

For example... Jasmine from the giant tribe, the user of the Push-Push Fruit, is good at digging tunnels.

"Boom."

Vegapunk slammed his hand on the tome and looked at Dragon and Kevin.

“This robot is not simple.”

"Although the attack on Marijoa two hundred years ago did not cause much damage on the surface, according to O'Hara's documents, it was very likely from the huge kingdom eight hundred years ago."

Dragon Mask was puzzled: "We have just seen this origin. But I have a question, Doctor..."

After a pause, Dorag said, "He can still move something from eight hundred years ago after six hundred years?"

Vegapunk was a little excited: "You hit the nail on the head. Six hundred years have passed, and that giant mechanical soldier is still able to climb onto the Red Earth Continent and even attack Mary Geoise. The energy system in his body is what I need most!"

"A lot of the research at the research institute is currently focused on energy. As for bloodline factors, they have even reached the level of replication capabilities. We must obtain that mechanical soldier."

Kevin rubbed his forehead and sighed. After taking off the mask, his face looked very ordinary.

"I see."

"But I need to know, if my teleportation ability cannot be used like the research institute, then is there any way to break it?"

Kevin looked at Vegapunk and said, "Doctor, you should know that the best way to steal such a huge mechanical soldier from Marijoa is to use teleportation to the nearest island under the Red Earth Continent."

Dorag nodded and said, "Marijoa is where the Celestial Dragons live. There are many devil fruits with teleportation abilities like yours. In the past eight hundred years, Marijoa has not had any problems."

Vegapunk sat back, his eyes full of pride.

"This research institute can prevent Sir's teleportation ability from directly entering, but it does not turn the institute into an independent space. It is just a device that cannot be entered by special abilities."

"But similarly, this device that renders space-related abilities ineffective cannot be used all the time on Marijoa. The Celestial Dragons also value the power of technology, but their roots are in domination and exploitation. Even their means of defense may be the ability of a mythical beast devil fruit that prevents space from being transferred."

"It's just that I want you to go, sir, but not to kill a group of Tianlong people."

Vegapunk and Kevin looked at each other, making Kevin even feel a little embarrassed.

The main reason is that the sin value of the Celestial Dragons is too high. There are so many of them in Marijoa, and we can just kill seven or eight of them. What else do we need?

Next time, let’s see if we can open a Gundam!
Calm your mind. Personal strength is important, but it is by no means everything.

"It's just a matter of bringing something out. As long as you don't act impulsively because of past hatred, there won't be any big problems."

Vegapunk glanced at Quinn and said, "Why are you shaking?"

"Excited, Doc!"

With a flick of his tongue, Quinn slapped the table and said, "As long as we have a sufficient energy system, the super warriors we are researching can proceed to the next step. If successful, it will not be a dream to completely overthrow Marijoa!"

"Overthrowing Marijoa has never been the ultimate goal of the revolutionary army."

Dragon shook his head slightly and said, "What we want is to completely change this world. Overthrowing Mary Geoise is a process, but overthrowing them is only the beginning."

At this point, Drago looked at Vegapunk and said, "But I'm also curious about the project you mentioned. Is it currently stuck in the energy aspect?"

Vegapunk replied: "It's not just energy, it's also a specimen conversion that replicates power. There's no point in going into the details, if you want to know more, you can look at the test records."

Uh →_→

The corner of Dorag's eyes twitched, so he thought that he felt that he wouldn't understand even if he told him?
As for the test records, they were like a heavenly book, thicker than the huge document from O'Hara on the table in front of me. I couldn't understand them at all.

"call……"

Kevin stood up and said, "This is what the institute specifically needs, right? I'll find a chance to go there, but there are no coordinates for me on Marijoa, so it might take a little longer."

Vegapunk also stood up, thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Gold. The Revolutionary Army needs to store gold in the future. We cannot exchange gold for Bailey like before."

gold?

Including Kevin, the three of them looked at Vegapunk at the same time.

However, Vegapunk stood there for half a minute. After his eyes regained their spirit, he sighed and pointed at his shrunken head.

"Because the skull could no longer bear the weight of the brain, I had to cut the brain into six parts."

"But the current processor is still too poor. Just searching for a piece of information takes thirty seconds."

"After a while, I even forget the inspiration that came to me in the first place."

Vegapunk got back to the point: "The O'Hara Tree of All-Knowing in the West Sea has existed for thousands of years. The knowledge stored in it is the wealth of the entire world. Even the scholars of O'Hara may not have read all those books."

“Gold is the key to the future. In the distant past, gods descended from the sky and brought light, and gods needed gold.”

God?

Dorag and Kevin frowned.

Seeing this, Vegapunk continued, "The gods are not real gods. For the people in this world in ancient times, perhaps a torch would be considered a god. It was very difficult to obtain fire in the earliest human society."

"but……"

Vegapunk's eyes gradually became serious. "It's foolish for God to say that. But in my hometown of Baltimore, there was once a doctor named Yuejian. The few words he left behind pointed to the moon as the origin of God."

"moon?!"

"The one in the sky?"

Dorag and Quinn were stunned for a moment.

Quinn even doubted whether the moon that Vegapunk was talking about was the one hanging in the sky.

Only Kevin sat back in his seat, deep in thought.

Dr. Tsukimi.

The image that I remember of this name is an old man who was frightened while eating a mooncake and then choked to death on it.

It was an outrageous yet normal way of death. After all, the old man looked like he would not live long.

But these are not important. What is important is the information about the moon people.

A huge kingdom eight hundred years ago, whose technology originated from the technology left by the moon people?

The technology of the moon people is very advanced, but they came to this planet because of the scarcity of gold resources, so is endless energy related to gold?

In addition...

In the 402nd year of the Haiyuan calendar, the golden city of Xiangdora, which is nearly 1100 years away from the present, was destroyed during the blank years eight hundred years ago.

This golden city is the place that is most easily associated with the word gold.

Gold, the destruction time of the Golden City of Shandora, Dr. Tsukimi, the Moon Man...

Kevin frowned as his thoughts raced.

These things can easily distract a person from his original thoughts because they are important, but they are not so important to the revolutionary army at the moment.

"Commander Dorag."

"gentlemen."

Kevin said: "Stop refining and transporting the gold from that island. Now that we have a special passage to the Red Earth Continent, based on that batch of heavenly gold, we will start to build our own financial management and form a caravan."

Dragon replied, "I have been doing it. After the sir made the rule that middle and high-level officials were not allowed to engage in business, the responsibility of the caravan was given to certain talents, but they were never given power in the revolutionary army."

"We are not yet able to achieve self-sufficiency, but the batch of heavenly gold is still abundant. Speaking of which, the boy who manages the caravan was brought back by you, sir."

A name flashed through Kevin's mind.

Tezulo?
Kevin smiled and said, "That kid is indeed a talent for making money. As long as his mind is not corrupt, it is possible to let him change the world with his own expertise."

Kevin then locked eyes with Vegapunk again.

"I have seen some information about lunar technology, and I also saw the scene where Dr. Yuejian died. Although I only have a limited understanding of it, it is not important for us to delve into it at the moment."

Kevin continued: "The research project on bloodline factors can be temporarily stopped until the giant mechanical soldiers are obtained." Stop?

Vegapunk and the others looked at Kevin in confusion.

"Offensive power is important, but in what I saw, it wasn't that important."

Kevin paused and said, "I saw a scene where red energy fell from the sky and destroyed an island in an instant, as if destroying the world. Not only that, a huge pit appeared at the original location of the erased island, and even the sea water could not fill it up."

After the words fell, everyone present looked at Kevin intently.

No one doubted this description, even Dorag had heard this from Kevin before.

It just leaves a bottomless pit...

You know, even the legendary Pluto, the god of the underworld, could only destroy an island with one blow, but it did not mean that a bottomless pit would be formed under the island.

So this... is what the World Government relies on?

"I investigated Wano Country more than a year ago. At that time, the World Government was..."

"Yes."

Before Dorag finished speaking, Kevin confirmed his idea.

"At that time, if the World Government confirms that a large number of the Revolutionary Army's combat forces and I are in Wano Country, then they will launch such an attack."

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Quinn felt his throat getting dry and itchy.

Is this kind of power the real terror of the world government?

The original Beasts Pirates had no chance of contending at all!

So as the lecturer said, pirates can only exist because they allow them to do so. Because of the pirates' burning, killing and looting, so much Heavenly Gold is handed over to the Celestial Dragons.

Otherwise, if that kind of attack was launched on Wano Country, Kaido would not be able to withstand it.

"It's not just that."

Kevin's voice continued: "The holes left by that kind of attack that destroyed an island may exist for a long time. After that, tsunamis, earthquakes, and most importantly, rising sea levels are the real key."

Vegapunk was stunned for a moment, but his sharp mind quickly figured out the key.

“How much will the sea level rise?”

Kevin looked over: "One meter."

This made Dorag feel relieved: "If it's only one meter..."

Before Dragon could finish his words, Vegapunk and Quinn interrupted him.

"Too much."

"That's the entire sea level, not just one island where the sea level has risen by one meter."

"One strike destroyed an island, triggered tsunamis and earthquakes across the entire ocean, and the world's sea level rose by one meter..."

Vegapunk's voice trembled a little: "Such a simple description is too light. A one-meter rise in sea level will cause tsunamis and earthquakes, which are enough to take away the lives of many ordinary people."

"Drago, this is not just a one-meter rise in the beach. The implications are a horrific natural disaster for ordinary people."

At this point, Vegapunk looked at Kevin again: "Attacks from the sky are unavoidable. Sir, you didn't even mention how the World Government would launch such an attack, or what weapons would be used to launch such an attack. So... Sir, do you need me to create something that can defend against such an attack?"

"Indeed."

Kevin confirmed his guess, and then asked: "What I want to know is, can a so-called isolated space like this..."

"No."

Vegapunk shook his head. "I just said that the so-called isolated space only makes the ability of teleportation or the Door-Door Fruit invalid. It does not mean that the entire research institute is really separated. It is just a shielding device. If you want to defend against the energy weapon you mentioned, you need the same amount of energy."

So the key still lies in the iron lump on Mary Geoise.

Kevin sighed: "The entire revolutionary army is currently working hard to liberate people's minds. When most people are awakened, it will be time for us to launch a thorough reform."

“Like-minded partners have entrusted their lives to us so that we can realize a bright future and tomorrow, so that everyone can have a chance to live.”

"If we can't create a device to resist this kind of attack, then the sea level will inevitably rise. At that time, even if we attack Marijoa, too many innocent people will die in this world."

Dragon nodded and said, "That kind of world is not the world we want."

Kevin continued, "So Dr. Vegapunk, next I want your research direction to be to enable each island to defend against this kind of attack. As for energy, I will bring back the giant mechanical soldier, no matter what."

Vegapunk nodded solemnly.

There are many secrets in the books left by O'Hara, including records of the huge kingdom eight hundred years ago.

But it was the first time that he learned in detail about the hidden power of the World Government.

But as long as he knew such a secret, he would definitely do his best.

……

Three days later, G5 branch.

After the routine swordsmanship training for half a day in the morning, Kevin started chatting with Spandine using Den Den Mushi again.

During these three days, whenever I had time, I would call to keep in touch with them and express my curiosity about the holy land of Marijoa.

It's not obvious, and after the Den Den Mushi hangs up, Kevin plans to wait a few days before making the fourth call.

Being too eager is not a good thing. Spandain is greedy and stupid, but he is not an idiot.

However, doing so would increase the risk of exposure.

The giant mechanical soldier was stolen, and he happened to be invited to Marijoa. This perfect timing was the biggest risk, even with his shadow clone as an alibi.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

Tina came in with a document, handed it to Kevin and scratched her head: "Analysis report on the chaos in the Wan Guo Sea. The provocation of the Beasts Pirates seems to have triggered a riot in BiGMOM. After the BiGMOM got sick, they destroyed the entire island."

Kevin looked at the file. Although he already knew the whole story of the chaos, he still explained: "They are fighting each other, so don't pay any attention to them. At present, our department has no plans to take action against them, or we have never thought about it. Just continue to monitor them."

Tina could hear the Admiral's dissatisfaction with the headquarters, but there was nothing she could do about it.

During the Great Pirate Era, pirates from all over the world poured into the Grand Line and were captured batch after batch. The headquarters would receive requests for help from the member nations almost every moment.

After the test of time, the elite pirates flowed to the second half of the Grand Line: this place called the New World by the pirates.

The Navy has done its best by maintaining its current line of defense.

After thinking for a moment, Tina took out another document.

"The Don Quixote family of the North Sea has officially joined the trade channels of the dark world. By selling weapons to some countries, it is expanding its influence."

"Even several executives of this so-called family have set their sights on Dressrosa."

Kevin looked at Tina and smiled: "You should have provided this information to Vice Admiral He, right? Don Quixote, doesn't this last name sound familiar to you?"

Tina was stunned.

At first she didn't think too deeply about it, but after being reminded, she realized: "Celestial Dragon?"

Kevin replied, "He is indeed a descendant of the twenty kings of Mary Geoise, which is why the headquarters is so hesitant, and he does not hide it."

Tina frowned: "Then should we intercept them? From the Sabaody Archipelago to Dressrosa, our cordon here can stop them."

"Don't stop."

Kevin gave a direct answer, and then said to Tina: "This department cannot make a decision. If we fight privately, we can win, but you may not survive."

As a vice admiral of the navy, he cannot use Flying Thunder God and Ryujin Jakka.

After obtaining Cyborg's talent, Doflamingo at this stage will not be his opponent, but the operability of the String-String Fruit will cause the G5 people to suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, the Navy Headquarters would not appreciate the consequences of blocking Doflamingo's merchant ships.

On the surface, I am a member of the World Government.

We can't use Flying Thunder God. If Doflamingo runs away and uses Den Den Mushi to call the five immortals in power, and then threatens them with the secrets of the Celestial Dragons, it will be difficult for us to deal with it.

"Tina understands."

Tina felt a little ashamed, and then reported all the trivial matters of the G5 branch one by one.

After finishing, he seemed to be hesitant to talk.

When he pushed the door open and was about to leave, he turned back and said, "Mr. Vice Admiral, if pirates appeared because of the system and the lack of restraints, then is the justice of our navy just to eliminate pirates?"

Ok?
The seeds planted more than a year ago seem to have taken root and sprouted.

"Tina, you must have heard of different kinds of justice, right? For example, the absolute justice of Vice Admiral Sakaski, and the ambiguous justice of Vice Admiral Kuzan and Vice Admiral Borsalino."

Tina nodded.

Kevin continued: "Do you think these are true justice? Just like choosing not to intercept the Don Quixote family this time, do you think it is a compromise? Or what?"

Tina frowned and thought for a long time.

It was not until Kevin ruffled her pink hair that he glanced at the lieutenant general and left.
