Chapter 280 Conversation with Vegapunk
On the warship sailing on the ocean, the night gradually enveloped the surroundings, and the waves gently hit the hull, making a gentle sound.
Jin An was lying on the bed, about to rest, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a glimmer in Jin'an's eyes, and he already knew who was outside the door.
With a hint of curiosity, he stood up, walked to the door and gently opened it.
"Mr. Vegapunk, what brings you here?"
Jin An asked with a smile, but he had a vague feeling that the other party's arrival was not that simple.
Vegapunk looked Jin An up and down, his eyes revealing complicated emotions.
Afterwards, he took the initiative to close the door of the room, as if he didn't want outsiders to hear their conversation.
"I'm here to talk to you alone."
Vegapunk found a chair and sat down at random, looking at Jin An calmly with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
Jin An frowned slightly, and all kinds of speculations emerged in his mind.
After Jin An sat down, Vegapunk looked directly at the person opposite him and said:
"I saw everything about O'Hara."
Jinan's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He crossed his arms and said calmly:
"If you want to use this to blackmail me, you've got the wrong person."
There was a hint of vigilance and determination in Jin'an's tone. If O'Hara's affairs were exposed, the worst that could happen to him was that he would leave the navy.
With his current power, although it is still a little difficult to resist the World Government, it is not completely impossible.
Vegapunk shook his head, his expression devoid of any threat.
"I can't do such a thing yet,"
He said sincerely,
"I just wanted to thank you in person."
Jin An was a little surprised and stared at Vegapunk, not understanding what he was up to.
Vegapunk continued:
"Thank you for preserving O'Hara's collection of books and protecting the scholars there."
Jin An was silent for a moment, and his guard relaxed a little.
Vegapunk's eyes were sincere and didn't seem to harbor any malice.
Vegapunk looked at Jin An seriously and continued:
"To be honest, I admire what you have done very much."
"You took great risks to protect those innocent lives and precious knowledge. This is not only courage, but also a great contribution to human civilization."
When Jin An heard this, his old face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
Although he never expected recognition from others, Vegapunk's words gave him some comfort.
He nodded, with a hint of relief in his tone:
“I just did what I thought I should do.”
Vegapunk stood up, walked to Jin An, and stretched out his hand.
"In any case, you did a great job. I hope we can continue to work together to protect the future of this world."
Jin An held Vegapunk's hand, smiled and said:
"Of course, I have been working hard for the future of this world."
Sitting back in his chair, Vegapunk's voice was low and firm, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
"You also know that I was forced to join the World Government."
"But the World Government can indeed play a very important role in my research."
He paused, as if thinking about how to continue his expression.
Jin An leaned against the wall, observing Vegapunk silently.
The other party's attitude made him feel a little confused, but he still remained calm.
Vegapunk continued:
"My research requires a huge amount of resources. Although my freedom will be restricted by the support of the World Government, I can do experiments that were impossible before."
There was a hint of reluctance and determination in his eyes.
"My goal is to bring free energy to the world!"
There was a firm conviction in his voice, as if this was not just an ideal but his mission.
"To achieve this goal, I can submit to the World Government and manufacture weapons for them."
Vegapunk said excitedly, his tone mixed with an uncontrollable enthusiasm.
Jin An tilted his head to look at Vegapunk, frowning slightly.
He didn't understand what these things had to do with him and why the other party was telling him these things.
"so……?"
Jinan's voice was calm and puzzled.
Vegapunk took a deep breath, clenched his hands, and looked at Jin An with a firm gaze.
"I need your help!"
He said, with a tone of urgency and anticipation.
Jin An was slightly stunned, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
He didn't know why the other party would trust him so much. It would be ridiculous to think that it was just because of O'Hara.
"why me?"
Jinan asked, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.
Vegapunk was silent for a moment, as if weighing whether to fully confess.
His eyes became more determined.
"Because you, like me, are working for a better world. What you did at O'Hara made me believe that you are a person of conviction, not just living for power and status."
Jinan lowered his head and thought, with doubts and trust intertwined in his heart.
Vegapunk's words were sincere, and he could feel the other's determination and belief.
"and,"
Vegapunk continued, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"I know that sooner or later I will fall out with the World Government. Now is my only chance to save my life."
Jinan raised his head, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
He knew the responsibility on his shoulders and understood the weight behind every word Vegapunk said.
He took a deep breath and nodded.
"Okay, I'll help you, but I need to know more details."
A relaxed smile appeared on Vegapunk's face, as if a huge rock pressing on his heart had finally been removed.
He nodded, his eyes full of hope and gratitude.
"Thank you, Jin'an. Next, we still have a lot of things to discuss..."
Jin An looked at Vegapunk and knew that this cooperation would have a far-reaching impact on the future.
Their destinies are now closely linked together, and for the common goal, they will face the unknown challenges and dangers ahead together.
"The World Government wants world stability, so they are willing to 'create' a large number of pirates for this purpose."
Vegapunk's tone was low and cold, as if he was stating a cruel truth.
His eyes looked through the sea outside the window, as if he was recalling some past that was too painful to look back on.
Jinan stood aside and listened silently.
His brows furrowed slightly, a little confused by Vegapunk's words.
Vegapunk turned his head and looked at Jin An, with a serious light in his eyes.
"And then, they want to create 'pacifists' in order to further consolidate their rule."
He said, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in his tone.
Jinan's eyes became more alert, he knew the existence of the pacifist plan.
Vegapunk's gaze became sharper.
"I also learned through a little trick what they were going to do to you next."
“You need to prepare ahead of time.”
