One Piece: The Living Devil Chapter 95: Chicken Talking to Duck

"The devil fruit's material, the devil fruit and martial arts fusion application, the principle of the bloodline factor... they're all so good stuff."

On the ship, Rosse leisurely sat on a chair.

Beside him, Gion was writing rapidly, recording the content Vegapunk was saying.

They were not far from Vegapunk, the hearing ability of the Vampire Fruit was superb, only slightly worse than his Hearing the Sea.

But regardless of which, it could easily hear all the information Vegapunk said.

He did not mind this information leaking; the people Vegapunk could contact were nothing more than Dragon or the Elbaph.

Either way, they were enemies of the World Governnt, but for now, they weren't jumping around much and had not yet been listed as strike targets.

Having the excuse of Vegapunk's technology leaking just nicely strengthened the crackdown on these two sides.

"Oh, and the railway technology of the sea train? Record this well, it might co in handy in the future," Rosse raised an eyebrow, showing great interest.

He knew the technology Vegapunk mastered was very complete, and even if not forcing him, he could help the other side achieve many scientific breakthroughs.

But still the sa sentence.

For a ruler without external enemies, the developnt of technology was never a necessary or urgent matter.

On the contrary, eliminating all possible threats was the ruler's primary task, which was also the fundantal reason why technology couldn't develop in the feudal era.

This kind of thing called technology, only people with brains could research it, and those people often had their own ideas, basically uncontrollable.

"All recorded," Gion gently nodded, although she only recognized the characters, she didn't know what was said, but fully copying it down was no problem.

"What's the next technology, let hear... hmm, the history of the World Governnt's rise? This cannot be told," Rosse let out a light laugh, and an overwhelming wave of Conqueror's Haki poured out, instantly covering the location where Stussy and Vegapunk were.

In just an instant, the Den Den Mushi on Vegapunk went limp, and after a few seconds of signal interruption, it returned to normal.

On the other side of the receiver, Dragon's eyes flickered, and he brought the Den Den Mushi closer to himself.

The information heard later might be even more valuable than the technology heard earlier.

———

"Dr. Vegapunk, Miss Stussy, very pleased to et you," Rosse's voice resounded across the entire coast. When speaking, he was still on the ship's bow, but by the ti he finished his last word, he had already appeared in front of Stussy.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Stussy]

[Overall Rating: B-]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Stussy imdiately showed a guarded expression, her white silk long legs sweeping toward Rosse.

BANG!

Rosse just lightly raised his arm, Armant Haki covering it, easily grabbing Stussy's calf in his hand.

"When I'm speaking, I don't like being interrupted," As soon as the words fell, Rosse disappeared.

"Not good..."

The crisis from behind made Stussy's heart tremble in shock, but before she could turn around—

BANG!

Stussy's waist took a heavy blow, the pain instantly spreading throughout her body, as if wanting to split her whole body into two halves.

"Cough...", Stussy fell straight into a pile of sand. Just as she tried to struggle to get up, a sound of wind brushed past her ear.

The Trident of the Sea God pressed against her neck, stabbing heavily into the sand, with the sharp blade only 1 milliter away from her neck.

"If you move again, I don't mind killing you," Rosse said indifferently, then directly sat down heavily on Stussy's body, calmly looking at Vegapunk, "Alright, ti for us to have a good talk, Dr. Vegapunk."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

[Vegapunk]

[Overall Rating: S]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

This was a scientist who had no combat strength but still achieved an S rating.

At this mont, he was also an experience treasure chest in Rosse's eyes.

Maybe the first S-rank kill would fall on Vegapunk.

"We probably have no need to talk. You won't let go today," Vegapunk showed a frank expression.

Just Rosse's displayed strength already told him the final outco.

No matter how many calculations, he had no hope of escape.

This was the shackle of wisdom. When the opponent possessed absolute strength, no matter how strong the wisdom, it was all futile.

"Why did you betray the World Governnt?", Rosse suddenly asked.

"Objectively speaking, I have never betrayed the World Governnt. It was the World Governnt that abandoned ," Vegapunk also had no intention of speaking less before death, and instead spoke very seriously, "From a subjective standpoint, I don't like the World Governnt's style. Otherwise, I wouldn't have established MADS. If not for resources, I wouldn't have even considered the World Governnt's olive branch."

"In other words, there was never loyalty, so betrayal doesn't apply," Rosse said with interest.

"That's also correct, let talk directly to them," Vegapunk's gaze looked at Rosse's collar; that place was bulging, obvious at a glance what was hidden inside.

"Seems like you've been discovered. I don't like this environnt; it would be better to just kill," Rosse shrugged and pulled out the Den Den Mushi connected to the Five Elders.

The other end of the Den Den Mushi connected to the Five Elders' conference table.

Since dealing with Vegapunk was Jaygarcia's proposal, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, of course, the bla couldn't fall on him. Vegapunk was just right for that.

["The World Governnt has treated you well. To whom did you leak those technologies?"], Saturn's gloomy voice ca through. When Rosse contacted them, he had already explained the situation.

"No comnt. But my technologies have been fully backed up. After my brain stops functioning, they will be sent to the whole world," Speaking of the dissemination of technology, Vegapunk's face showed fanaticism and excitent.

["Stop your behavior!"]

["Madman!"]

["Kill imdiately!"]

["..."]

In an instant, five different voices ca from the Den Den Mushi, switching so rapidly it almost got stuck.

"Listen," Vegapunk's eyes revealed sorrow, "Precisely because the World Governnt is composed of people like you, this world's technology can't develop, and everyone lives hard lives."

["Vegapunk, the technology you possess is very dangerous,"] Saint Warcury rebuked.

"But my technology has never killed a single person. Instead, it was you who asked to research weapons of mass destruction, as well as clones and modified humans. If these succeed, it would actually cause more deaths," Vegapunk rationally refuted.

["Absurd!"]

["Any act of the World Governnt is correct."]

["..."]

Listening to the Five Elders' noisy voices, Rosse scratched his ear a bit, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

'These old fossils are broken.'

If you ask him, it's not that these old n had no ability, it's just that they had been in that position too long, seeing everyone as garbage, their ntality already having problems.

Afterward, both sides entered garbage ti.

Vegapunk emphasized the changes science could bring to the world; the Five Elders emphasized the World Governnt's supremacy.

Both sides were not on the sa frequency; nothing aningful could be discussed.

But Rosse was too lazy to intervene. Right now, he didn't have the strength to wrestle with the Five Elders. Letting Vegapunk act as the punching bag wasn't bad.

The more Vegapunk infuriated the Five Elders, the more it proved the correctness of his previous suggestion.

Even if it couldn't be executed precisely, it was the Five Elders' incompetence, what did it have to do with him?

["Rosse, the World Governnt does not tolerate any threats. Execute Vegapunk imdiately. Publicly announce: anyone daring to research or spread Vegapunk's technologies will face a Buster Call."]

The Five Elders also realized that nothing could be negotiated. Saturn Saint calmly issued the order.

["Seconded!"]

["Seconded!"]

["..."]

After Saturn Saint proposed, the remaining four Five Elders imdiately seconded.

"Received," Rosse chuckled twice and directly hung up the Den Den Mushi.

A bunch of old n talking nonsense there. If it weren't for needing to shift bla, he would have long hung up.

Vegapunk's death was certain, but he still had to squeeze out all his value.

Even if Vegapunk died, he could still bring him a lot of benefits.

At least the man on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, after hearing all this, would probably make even bigger waves.
