Chapter 642: Meeting and Regaining Pure Gold! (2 in 1)

The appearance of Yoshiichi 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 Yoshiichi 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 body of Seraph countless times.

And it is precisely because of this that Vegapunk was able to recognize Yoriichi Tsugakuni instantly the moment he saw him.

"Let's just smile and let them all go."

After stopping the fight between the two sides, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi turned his head slightly and spoke to a smile on the side. While speaking, Yoshiichi glanced at the new navy gathered on the coast.

Yixiao quickly understood what Jikuni 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 Yuichiro slowly walked in front of little Tsugikoku Yuichiro, looked at him intently, touched his chin and nodded slightly.

Although little Tsugakuni Yoriichi was standing in front of Tsugakuni Yoriichi at this time, Tsugakuni 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 and kill. If Yoshiichi Tsugakuni 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, it is extremely difficult for every strong man to grow. They need to go through countless battles, big and small, in their lives. Only by luck and chance encounters can they gain rich combat experience and powerful strength.

However, this growth process of a strong man becomes somewhat insignificant to Vegapunk. As long as he is willing, as long as he can obtain the bloodline factors of a strong man, relying on science and technology, he can continuously 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 more rapidly with the birth of this technology.

"Dr. Vegapunk, it's been so many years since we last met. Do you plan to meet like this?!"

Seeing that the crowd had almost been dispersed, Yuichiro Tsugikoku asked with a smile on his face the little Yuichiro Tsugikoku in front of him.

He understood that Vegapunk should be somewhere inside Mr. Lantern's body, paying attention to 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. 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, has the potential to obtain such power.

Or... according to his current understanding, there is only one person in this world who can possibly give 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.

The current state of Tsugikuni Yoriichi even looked like he had been summoned by the World Government.

Vegapunk has been living in the deep sea for many years, until some time ago when he completely took control of Lord Lantern and controlled the sea beasts to float to the surface.

The first place we arrived at was Cake Island, the headquarters of the new navy.

It is natural for Vegapunk, who knows little about the current world situation, to begin to be wary of Yoriichi 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 sense the wariness that Vegapunk was hinting at, 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 here. It must have been very hard along the way."

Yuichi Tsugakuni did not intend to easily hide Vegapunk's slight distrust. He smiled and spoke to Yuichi Tsugakuni, 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 overly strong emotion in her tone, but Yoriichi Tsugikuni 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, he is actually very accurate in judging people.

A person like Yoriichi Tsugikuni who can have such eyes is definitely not the kind of person whose heart is filled with desires.

The mouth of the mechanical sea beast opened again. This time, no new Seraphim came out of it. The smile that had already dispersed the crowd came to the side of Tsugumi Yoshiichi, 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 sailed out 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 Jiguo 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 very fair. She exuded the aura of an intellectual woman, but judging from her appearance, 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 had not changed much compared to before. Perhaps it was because Robin had not been exposed to the wind and sun during those years in the belly of the Lantern Mermaid, so her skin condition was even better than what Yoshiichi Tsugumi had 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 wearing a ring. The ring Robin wore on his finger was dark and not attractive at all, but there was something strange about it. It was supposed to be a women's ring, but the width of the black ring was unusual, about three or four centimeters. A ring of this width was 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 the hidden secrets of the ring.

"Pure gold?" Ji Guoyuan said in his heart, his expression did not change at all.

"Dr. Vegapunk, have you completed the 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 could all be 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 gains 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, both forces will return to the same basis to compete.

"You mean pure gold? Of course, that kind of thing has been studied, but the purification materials needed to refine pure gold cannot be found in the stomach island."

"I also borrowed the experimental base left behind in the stomach island in the early years to make 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 sigh of relief and said with some complaint: "Be careful."

"You should know the value of pure gold. If the news leaks out, everyone in the world will be moved."

"Even with a powerful new navy, it is impossible to withstand the siege of the whole world."

"Be careful and keep the news secret!" Vegapunk warned in a deep voice. Seeing his serious expression, Mihawk and Yixiao also looked 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 gave to Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had long since disappeared without a trace.

"Lost in a battle."

Yoshiichirō's words made Vegapunk's eyes widen. He had worked with 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 Tsugakuni. The amount of information contained in it is enough for a smart person like Vegapunk to guess many things.

The enemy that Yoriichi Tsugakuni has to face must be very powerful, so powerful that even Yoriichi Tsugakuni cannot protect his personal belongings.

"That's really a pity~"

All the speculations in my mind turned into a sigh in the end.

Vegapunk naturally felt sorry for 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.

“Is it 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 go to the Holy Land again and finish everything that has not been 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.

There was a light in his eyes, but it soon dimmed.

"Making pure gold is not easy. It requires materials and time."

"I'm afraid there's no way to replicate it in this short period of time."

When Yoriichi heard Vegapunk mention the difficulty of making pure gold, he 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 get it."

"And we don't need a lot of them. Just in case, we only need to bring six copies, and we should be able to completely eradicate the Celestial Dragons!"

Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's eyes were burning, and the determination and murderous intent that he inadvertently revealed made Vegapunk's heart tremble. Tsugakuni Yoshiichi seemed to have become a little different, but what exactly was different? Vegapunk couldn't tell for a moment.

Was it because the killing intent was too strong? No! In the past, Jiguo Yuanyi's hands were also stained with the blood of countless people.

Becoming strong and domineering?! No, Yunyi still has a gentle side, and he was also the leader of the new navy before, and he has been domineering for a long time.

After looking at Yunichirō, Vegapunk nodded silently, expressing his approval of Yunichirō Tsugakuin'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 the news, but asked Yixiao to issue a gag order to all witnesses on the coast at that time.

This technological force will be the trump card of their new navy in foreign wars!
Before enough pure gold was forged, Yoichiro 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!
