Chapter 22 "Not interested in older people"

Vegapunk and Bakin's analysis was wrong. Arthur, who was sleeping like a baby, didn't hear them.

"Looking at it this close, it seems that men of normal body shape also have good figures." Ba Jin touched Arthur's upper body in front of the test bench.

His target was the scabbard at Arthur's waist. He reached out and took it in his hand, then pulled out the blade to examine it.

"What a beautiful snowflake pattern. It must be worth a lot of money. Vegapunk, did you detect that he is a devil fruit user?"

Even though he passed out due to exhaustion, Arthur's mental state was still full of the vitality of a sunny teenager.

"No, there is no devil fruit factor in his blood." Vegapunk used the detection equipment to find out that Arthur is not a devil fruit user at all.

"No?" Ba Jin was shocked, and then he stared at the blade in his hand with wide eyes:

"Then... is this the sword that has the ice ability comparable to that of a devil fruit?" Ba Jin looked at Arthur's sword with a coveted look in his heart. He suddenly held it in the cleft of his chest as if it were a treasure.

"Haha, Ba Jin! Can you change your greedy character? You really love money." Vegapunk yelled at her.

You're actually thinking of selling such a precious treasure?

If that knife really has the power of extreme cold, it would be priceless even if it were available in the market, right?

Once the news spreads, how many people on the sea would risk their lives to seize such a treasure?

"Greed is a woman's nature. You are a fool with no romance who only knows how to study science." Ba Jin smiled at Vegapunk with disdain.

"Our thoughts are not on the same level, Ba Jin. After you separated from Whitebeard, you wandered around. Aren't you afraid that he will get angry if he knows what you did?"

"Hahaha." Ba Jin laughed out loud upon hearing this, and his smile was very charming: "Now that we're separated, why are you still talking about those useless things?"

"Lingling, Little Whitebeard, and Guroliosa, no matter how good their relationship was in the past, they no longer have any connection after they separated."

"Lingling searches for powerful creatures all over the sea to merge with her, hoping to create a powerful bloodline."

"That bastard Shiki has perfectly inherited Captain Jibek's ambition to rule the world."

"Hmm... Whitebeard's character should be to accumulate strength in secret. He disappeared after eating that fruit."

"Well, John... he is still living his pirate life on Beehive Island with the Silver Axe. The navy doesn't dare to cause trouble on that island easily."

She is still charming now, but she is showing signs of aging.

After hearing these words from Bakin, Vegapunk also understood the general whereabouts of the Rocks Pirates' crew.

"You are too selfish, aren't you? You want to possess everything. I won't make your clone into your own character and appearance." Vegapunk commented to Bakin.

Ba Jin closed his eyes and replied nonchalantly: "It's up to you. She won't be me when she grows up."

At this moment, Arthur, who had been sleeping for several hours, suddenly covered his forehead and slowly sat up from the bed on the laboratory table:

"It hurts, where is this?"

The first thing Arthur did when he woke up was to reach out and touch his left waist.

He reached out and touched it, and found that except for the bandages and his own flesh, the familiar touch of the knife handle was gone.

Ba Jin, who was standing in front of Arthur, opened his eyes in surprise, holding Arthur's knife and staring at him in shock, thinking:

"He was injured so badly, lost so much blood, and he woke up in less than 4 hours?"

Arthur, who was looking for the blade, turned his head and saw Ba Jin, who was wearing heavy makeup, placing his blade in the groove on his chest and holding it tightly.

"Is this guy Stussy?" Arthur's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly discovered from Ba Jin's face that there was a huge difference between the two.

More like an aged clone of Stussy, Arthur quickly analyzed that the woman in front of him should be Stussy's real body.

Looking at Arthur, his stern expression was filled with a chill that would scare ordinary people.

The moment Ba Jin opened her mouth to explain, Arthur suddenly reached out and attacked the scabbard in her chest:

"Please give it back to me."

"Ugh!" Before Ba Jin could react, Arthur roughly snatched the blade from her hand.

"You are such a rude guy. Women will never like you like this." Ba Jin suddenly acted coquettishly and tried to tease Arthur.

"..." Arthur stared at her with disgust and said casually, "Auntie, this is the first time we meet, don't act like we know each other well, I'm not your type."

"Ah...Auntie?!" Ba Jin seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body was covered with hair.

These two words were a huge blow to her.

She immediately retorted: "Hey, the one in front of you is a slim and sweet older girl!"

"How old are you now?" Arthur could see at a glance that Ba Jin had heavy makeup on his face.

Ba Jin put his hands on his hips, ruffled his blond hair and said, "You can't tell anyone your age casually."

"At 45, she's already an old woman to you." Vegapunk, who was studying Arthur's blood, suddenly said.

These words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Ba Jin's body.

Arthur looked at Vegapunk and was startled again, thinking: "This guy is... Vegapunk!?"

"Vegapunk, are you mentally ill?" Ba Jin yelled at him, his face full of wrinkles when he was angry: "Why do you tell others your age to a child!?"

"I'm only 14, and I've only been there for less than a week. You're 45, a full 31 years difference...hiss...I can't imagine you are the girl you're talking about." Arthur tends to be more direct with people he doesn't like.

After hearing Arthur's words, Ba Jin was struck by lightning and stood petrified on the spot.

Soon, her legs seemed to lose strength, and she knelt on the ground and pounded the laboratory floor frantically with her hands:

"Can you please stop saying such hurtful things? After all, I am the ideal type of many men. And don't believe what that big-headed monster says."

Even though she was hurt, she still put on a girlish attitude and wanted to tease Arthur to see how he would react.

Faced with a woman 31 years older than him acting cute, Arthur just had a blank expression, shook his head left and right, and observed his environment.

"Hey! You will be punished by God for disrespecting women like this!" Ba Jin was completely furious when he saw that his beauty was ignored.

The natural competitive spirit that women possess immediately occupied Ba Jin's mind. After learning about this man's genetic cells from Vegapunk, she had the same idea as Charlotte Linling.

"Wait..." Ba Jin suddenly became erratic, and in an instant he turned from a rage to a dazed look as he looked at Arthur who had just woken up: "I will be old in the future, but I still have some beauty now. If I use this guy's genes to create a child... wouldn't that terrifying cell activity allow me to stay young forever?"

She wanted to seduce a young man like Arthur to have sex with her, and then use his sperm and her body to create a child.

If we use the child's cells for research, wouldn't we need to ask others for help or look for the devil fruit that can make people younger?

Ba Jin bit his finger with his lipstick-coated lips, looked at Arthur, and his smile gradually became more and more excited.

"It seems that because of the battle, he was exhausted and fainted due to tiredness..." Arthur analyzed what happened several hours ago and checked his body.

The bandages all over his body made him frown: "I have tied this supreme bandage twice. What magic does it have?"

"Young man, do you want to do something special with me? It will help you understand women better." Ba Jin took the initiative to stand up and walked in front of Arthur, winking at him.

The ecstatic look in front of Arthur was as if he saw Ba Jin's appearance thirty years in the future.

"I actually... generally don't hit women." Arthur looked at Ba Jin seriously, showing no interest at all, and warned: "But if you keep looking at me like that, I think I'll turn you into a pig's head later."
