Chapter 942 Arriving Home

"Little guys, lower the stairs, we're home!" The Red Earl stood at the bow, hands on his hips, and shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the sea breeze, with a sense of heroism and confidence.

"Oh!!!" The pirates became excited when they heard the Red Earl's shout.

They cheered and jumped, their faces filled with joy and anticipation.

As a mechanical sound was heard, the mechanism on the ship began to operate, and the stairs on the side of the hull slowly descended and finally landed steadily on the port.

The Red Earl turned and looked at Vegapunk, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Get off the boat, genius scientist." He said with a smile, turned around and raised his hand to show Vegapunk the scenery of Dimen Island.

Vegapunk looked at the scene before him, feeling a mixture of emotions.

From this moment on, he will become a member of this pirate group and live with these pirates.

Although he was full of curiosity about such a life, he also felt a little uneasy deep in his heart.

The Red Earl told the crew to prepare to disembark, while he went ahead.

The Red Earl's body suddenly became lighter and he flew into the air before landing steadily on the ground.

"Master Hong, you're back!" Robin and Monet immediately greeted him with a smile when they saw him.

"Well, I'm back. How's the island doing lately?" said the Red Earl with a smile on his face.

"Everything is fine, but a little boring." Monet shook his head and said helplessly.

"Hahaha, you two little girls will definitely be bored staying on the island all day, but I did gain something from my trip this time."

The Red Earl took out a small and exquisite wine glass from his pocket, filled it with fine wine, and handed it to the two men.

This is the fine wine he harvested on his way to Danjian Island.

"Wow, thank you Master Hong!" Robin and Monet took the wine glasses and drank them all in one gulp. Two blushes immediately appeared on their fair faces.

"By the way, Enel also came back a few days ago." Robin suddenly remembered something and said quickly.

"Well, I just saw that kid." The Red Earl thought of Enel who suddenly appeared and disappeared just now, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"By the way, where is Kuro? Why can't I see him?" The Red Earl looked around and asked in confusion.

"Captain hasn't come back yet." Robin shook his head.

"Eh? That kid hasn't come back yet?"

"No, I don't know where the captain is right now, and I can't get through to his Den Den Mushi."

"Ah, that kid always makes me worry." The Red Earl frowned, feeling a little worried.

While they were talking, they saw Indigo running off the boat in his farting shoes.

"Puff puff!"

As a strange sound was heard, a strong airflow suddenly gushed out from under Indigo's feet, pushing him forward.

His body drew an arc in the air, then fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

“Robin! Monet!”

Indigo excitedly called out the two's names, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He opened his arms and ran towards the two of them, as if wanting to give them a warm hug.

However, Robin and Monet seemed to have anticipated this scene. They nimbly dodged and easily avoided Indigo's hug.

Indigo missed the target, but he did not stop.

He continued to rush forward and ended up bumping into an innocent crew member.

The crew member was knocked dizzy by the sudden impact, but Indigo hugged him tightly and rolled together more than ten meters away.

“Ahahahahaha…”

Looking at the funny scene before their eyes, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Indigo's funny behavior always brings joy and surprises, making people forget their troubles.

"This guy."

The Red Earl shook his head lovingly. "You are so stingy. What's wrong with hugging me after not seeing me for so long... You are such a stingy person!"

Indigo shook his head and got up from the ground, brushing off the dust on his body and muttering softly.

The crew members around him couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then lowered their voices and said, "Master Indigo, if the captain hears what you just said, you will be hung up and beaten."

"Humph, I'm not afraid." Brother Indigo said stubbornly, then quickly stood up and prepared to deal with other things.

However, he was secretly glad that the captain was not here.

At this moment, Atlas took big strides and walked down from the warship first.

To be precise, she jumped directly from the boat to the shore. After all, considering her terrifying height, this distance was not a problem for her at all.

The crew members who had come to welcome them were frightened when they saw her so close, and they hastily stepped back.

"Is this guy the legendary giant?"

"That should be the case. After all, she is so tall."

"Hey, everyone, please move back! There's not enough room for her to stand here."

As a result, the crowd dispersed instantly, leaving a huge area for Atlas.

"Are you pirates?"

After Atlas stood firm, he turned his gaze towards Robin and the others, his face full of curiosity.

Robin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's right, we are pirates."

After hearing this, Atlas' expression suddenly became a little disappointed: "I see... I thought pirates would have three heads and six arms, but I didn't expect that they are no different from ordinary people."

"Haha, pirates are human too."

Robin explained gently.

There was another sound of footsteps on the ship. Sakya walked in front, followed by dozens of scientific researchers. Everyone hid behind Sakya.

He looked at the pirates on the shore with fear in his eyes, feeling like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Who are these guys? Why do they look so strange?" A crew member asked puzzledly at a group of people who had just got off the boat.

"Prisoners, don't you see they all have their heads down?" another crew member guessed.

"That makes sense. Should we go up and interrogate them?" another crew member suggested.

Just as the crew members were talking nonsense, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.

"These people came back with Lord Red Earl. Don't mistake them for criminals." Monet scared them when I suddenly appeared.

But after hearing Monet's words, the crew members immediately realized that they had guessed wrong.

"So that's how it is. That's what I said. The person Lord Red Earl brought back must not be a criminal." A crew member said, patting his chest.

"Yeah, it's a good thing I didn't go up to question him, otherwise I would definitely get scolded." Another crew member echoed.

"But who are these people? They look very mysterious." The third crew member asked curiously.

"Don't ask so many questions. They are not enemies anyway." said the fourth crew member.

"Yeah, as long as they're not enemies." said the fifth crew member.

Monet smiled and turned away.

When the crew saw Monet leave, they continued to stare at the people who had just got off the boat.

I saw those people wearing uniform white uniforms, black hats and sunglasses, holding various instruments in their hands, and looking very professional.

One of them was carrying a large box, which seemed to contain some important items.

After Shakya and the others got off the boat, Edison and the others followed them onto the ground. Vegapunk walked slowly at the back, seemingly full of curiosity about everything around him.

When Robin saw Vegapunk appear, her face turned pale instantly.

Although Vegapunk has been kept under strict protection by the World Government, Morgans' intelligence department still has his photo.

So when Robin first saw Vegapunk, she recognized him immediately and quickly turned her head to look at the Red Earl.

There was an expression of disbelief in her eyes, as if asking: "What on earth is going on?"

However, the Red Earl just smiled and made a confidential gesture to her, asking her not to tell anyone.

Seeing this, Robin nodded to show that he understood, but he still couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

After Vegapunk got off the boat, he kept looking around and carefully observed the surrounding buildings.

His eyes were full of curiosity, and he seemed to be curious about every detail of this place.

It wasn't until the Red Earl called out his name that he stopped and refocused his attention on them.

"Come here, I'll take you to see the laboratory on this island." The Red Earl said to Vegapunk.

"Is there a laboratory here too?" Vegapunk asked in surprise.

"Of course I have! I'm a scientist too!" Vegapunk's questioning tone made Indigo very unhappy. He clenched his fists and shouted fiercely: "Don't underestimate me!"

"Oh, sorry, I thought you were a doctor in the Kuro Pirates." Vegapunk explained quickly.

"Sometimes I am also a doctor. Is it not okay to have multiple identities?" Brother Indigo straightened his back proudly, feeling secretly proud in his heart.

However, he did not notice that the Red Earl was already leading Vegapunk deeper into the island.

When the two passed by Shakya, Vegapunk stopped and warned: "Shakya, you must personally watch them move the equipment and devices from those ships down, and be careful not to damage them."

"I understand. I will personally watch them do it later." Sakya nodded in response.

After the explanation, the two continued on their way, and soon they met Paul who was walking towards them.

"Master Hong, you're back." Paul shouted happily.

"Well, let's talk in the evening. I have something to deal with now." The Red Earl replied with a smile.

"Okay, let's have a banquet tonight. I just purchased a few ships of food a few days ago." Paul suggested excitedly.

"Haha, okay!" The Red Earl agreed readily.

"Then let's hold a party tonight to welcome our new partners." The Red Earl said as he patted Vegapunk's shoulder. Paul immediately extended his hand upon seeing this.

"Welcome to join us. I'm the chef on the ship. You can come to me if you want to eat anything in the future." Paul said enthusiastically.

Paul's enthusiasm made Vegapunk a little overwhelmed, and he could only smile and nod to express his gratitude.

After saying goodbye to Paul, the Red Earl continued to lead the way, and at this time Indigo also caught up.

The three of them walked for a while, and Indigo was the first to complain of being tired: "I can't go on anymore. I'm too tired. I can't walk anymore." He took out a whistle and blew it. Suddenly, a huge monster flew out from the forest in the distance.

"Wow, what is that?" Vegapunk asked in surprise.

"Haha, that's my pet, a giant flying pig." Indigo explained proudly.

As the flying pig got closer, its silhouette gradually became clearer. This flying pig was huge, with wings that stretched dozens of meters long.

The feathers are pure white in color, which makes them look particularly spectacular.

The giant pink pig landed on the ground, and when Indigo saw him he immediately walked over excitedly.

"Long time no see, Peppa! Did you miss me?" Indigo said with a smile.

"Dudududu!!!" The giant pink pig named Peppa happily rubbed its head against Brother Indigo, making strange noises while rubbing its nose.

Vegapunk behind him looked at the scene in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Pigs with wings, it's rare to see them."

Hearing what Vegapunk said, Indigo's eyebrows moved slightly, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he said proudly: "Peppa is not an ordinary pig, he is my best work!"

"The best work?" Vegapunk was obviously confused.

Indigo did not answer his question, but patted Page's face lightly and ordered: "Page, use the flaming bullets at the sky!"

"Beep, beep, beep!!!" A raging fire immediately burned in Peppa's mouth. It raised its head and sprayed hundreds of fire bombs into the sky.

These fire bombs drew beautiful arcs in the air, as dazzling as a group of meteors. They exploded quickly, forming a colorful sea of ​​fire that lit up the entire sky.

Vegapunk looked at the sky and subconsciously analyzed the power of the energy therein.

Indigo nodded with satisfaction, patted Paige's body with his hands and couldn't stop praising her.

"The temperature of the flame this guy spews out is pretty good."

After finishing the analysis, a hint of surprise appeared on Vegapunk's face, but only a hint.

As the chief scientist of the World Government's scientific forces, he has numerous experimental subjects at his disposal, many of whom have special abilities.

He was no longer surprised by creatures that could breathe fire.

However, after hearing what Vegapunk said, Indigo felt an inexplicable anger surge in his heart.

He saw it as a provocation against himself and Page.

"This is just Paige's basic ability. I'll show you the others!"

So he began to loudly give Page various orders.

"Peppa! Fan!"

"Peppa! Ray Shooting!"

"Peppa! Savage trampling!"

……

As Indigo gave orders one after another, Page showed various abilities, but as the orders piled up.

The originally docile Peppa Pig suddenly became extremely violent. Its eyes revealed madness and anger, and it seemed that it might lose control at any time.

The Red Earl, who was standing by, was shocked when he saw the changes in Paige. He knew that if he allowed Paige to continue like this, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, he flashed and instantly appeared above Paige's head. He clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed towards Paige hard!

"boom!!!"

There was a loud bang, and the Red Earl's fist landed heavily on Page's head.

Paige, who was hit hard, shook suddenly. His originally angry eyes suddenly became clear. Then he fell to the ground, his body trembling slightly, and he did not dare to look up at the Red Earl above his head.

"Lord Red Earl, why did you hit Peppa?!" Indigo shouted angrily. As Peppa's owner, he stroked Peppa's big face with heartache when he saw his pet being beaten.

The Red Earl said calmly, "In order to prevent this guy from causing any trouble, didn't you notice that he was about to go berserk?"

"No way, Peppa. I have improved the effect of XIQ on it, and now it can suppress the rampage state very well." Indigo retorted.

"You are such a stubborn guy." The Red Earl felt helpless about this.

At this time, Vegapunk was watching the show from the side. When he heard Indigo mention XIQ, he immediately became interested: "Excuse me, what is that XIQ?"

Hearing this question, Indigo turned to look at him, his eyes full of vigilance.

Then he was the first to refuse, saying, "This is confidential, I can't tell you."

But the Red Earl had his own thoughts in mind.
