Chapter 420 The terrifying power to permanently alter the climate!
A huge warship was floating in the sea outside Punk Hazard.
And standing on the ship is the G5 navy!
"What is Lieutenant General Vergo doing?"
A navy officer glanced at the ship's cabin with a puzzled look and said, "Why haven't they come out since earlier?"
"Maybe he's just shy, hahaha."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Hey, hey, hey, you'll get beaten up for saying that... hahaha."
"It's okay, he can't hear us from inside the captain's cabin anyway, hahaha."
"What a bunch of idiots."
Hearing the commotion, Vergo's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. These guys probably didn't expect their fate to come.
After quietly lowering the curtain, Vergo returned to his seat and took out a Den Den Mushi.
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"
"Kaga~"
"Who is it?" Caesar asked.
"I am Vergo," Vergo said calmly. "Dover should have already told you the details, right?"
After receiving news that Smoker was going to succeed him as a lieutenant general in the G5 branch, he reported this to Doflamingo.
The other party's decision was to have him come to Punk Hazard to protect Caesar after he stepped down from his post!
That's one of the reasons he came here.
"Yes, he contacted me."
Caesar nodded and said, "So you've stepped down now?"
"No, that's not it."
Vergo said calmly, "I originally planned to go back today to hand over the reins to Smoker, but I suddenly received news that the Straw Hat crew had arrived on this island, so I decided to come here and take a look."
If he needs to take action, he will kill the entire Straw Hat crew.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
"The Straw Hat crew has indeed appeared on this island." Caesar glanced at the wanted posters on the table and said, "My men just captured a few members of the Straw Hat crew."
Especially that cyborg, his body must be quite interesting~
Okay, after I finish this call, I'll go and get that guy out and study him properly.
"How many people have been caught so far...?" Vergo asked. "Who are they?"
"A few of the weaker ones."
Caesar thought for a moment and said, "Those strong members of the Straw Hat Pirates weren't captured."
"Looks like I made the right choice coming here," Vergo said.
The Straw Hat crew's main troublesome members are the powerful ones; the weaker ones pose little threat.
"Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if you hadn't come," Caesar said. "After all, that guy Luo is right here with us."
As he spoke, Caesar glanced at the spot where Law had been sitting and continued, "His strength is still quite good."
"He is not trustworthy," Vergo said calmly.
Since that guy dared to betray the young master once, he would dare to betray the young master a second time, so Vergo does not trust this guy.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, that guy's heart is in my hands," Caesar said.
As long as he holds Luo's heart in his hand, he has no fear of the other party disobeying him.
This time, Vergo didn't refute, but nodded and said, "That's true."
"However, it's not entirely safe for your heart to stay with you. After I arrive, please give it to me."
With his strength, even if Law wanted to betray him, he couldn't possibly snatch the heart from him.
"Okay, no problem."
Caesar knew Vergo's strength, so he didn't mind giving him the items, which would also help to better control Law.
Then, as if remembering something, Caesar said, "By the way, did you come alone this time?"
"Most of the people in the G5 branch are with me."
"That's great!" Caesar said with a smile. "I'm actually quite short of experimental subjects right now!"
After listening to Caesar's words, Vergo paused for a moment, then said, "Alright."
Vergo's expression didn't change at all when he uttered that word, clearly showing that he didn't care much about the lives of these people.
"That was a huge help."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
"Alright, I think we'll be on the island soon. Let's talk once we're inside."
"OK."
"Kaga~"
After casually placing the disconnected Den Den Mushi on the table, Caesar smirked and said, "Vergo's arrival was just in time."
With those G5 naval units, his experimental progress wouldn't fall behind.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Then, Caesar glanced at Monet, who had just walked in, and asked, "Monet, where did that Luo fellow go?"
"I don't know."
Monet shook his head and said, "Maybe he went back to his room."
She had only just returned not long ago, so she didn't know where Luo had gone.
Caesar frowned upon hearing this, then looked away and said, "Never mind him."
Let that guy do whatever he wants.
Just then, a soldier in protective gear rushed in, his voice urgent, "It's terrible, Master! The people we just captured have escaped!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Caesar angrily exclaimed, "How is this possible?!"
You should know that the gate where those guys were being held was extremely sturdy; even cannons couldn't blow it open!
How could they possibly get out under these circumstances?
"But they just came out..."
"1
"Was the gate blown open?"
"No," the man shook his head and said, "The door wasn't damaged at all; it looks like someone opened it."
Upon hearing this, Caesar was immediately stunned.
The door has been opened?
Who did it?
Is there a mole within the organization?
Thinking of this, Caesar's expression turned somewhat grim.
"There must be some special ability user among the Straw Hat crew," Monet said, pushing up her glasses.
Caesar fell silent upon hearing this. If there wasn't a traitor among them, then this was the only explanation that made sense.
Then, Caesar looked at the man and asked, "Have you figured out what kind of abilities they have?"
"I've only seen two people make a move so far," the man said. "One is a woman with orange hair, and strange clouds are floating around her."
"That kind of cloud can unleash lightning; our people simply can't stop it."
"cloud?"
Monet paused for a moment, then said with interest, "Nature-based?"
I never expected to encounter a Logia-type Devil Fruit user here... How interesting!
Caesar also showed interest; natural experimental subjects are quite rare.
"Our bullets really couldn't hit that woman, so I also think she's a naturalist."
This is also one of the reasons why he came here for help, because they don't have a domineering attitude!
"Then we'll use Seastone," Caesar said. "As long as we can touch her body with Seastone, we can capture her!"
"clear!"
Caesar nodded, then continued, "And the other person?"
"Another one..."
'
The man thought for a moment and said, "That woman can release some strange ghosts; anyone who touches them will become extremely negative."
As if recalling some scene, the man's expression turned ugly.
The way he knelt on the ground was so embarrassing...
"ghost?"
Monet paused for a moment, then said, "Could this be the person who opened the door?"
She felt that this possibility was very high.
"It's most likely this guy." Caesar nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Send more men, make sure these guys are captured!"
"Don't forget to bring the Seastone handcuffs and Seastone chain net," Monet reminded him.
"clear!"
The man nodded, then picked up his weapon and ran outside.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
"Nature-related experimental subjects, huh?" Caesar smirked. "How interesting!"
This time I can finally do a proper study!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Monet's lips twitched slightly as he watched Caesar laughing uncontrollably.
This madman...
"Is this island truly still habitable?"
Staring at the island hidden by the iceberg, the G5 branch's navy personnel looked rather grim.
Will I get poisoned if I go to a place like this?
"Ah, Lieutenant General Vergo, you've come out."
"Um."
With a piece of beef stuck to his face, Vergo looked at the distant iceberg with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's the situation now?"
"I'm so ugly that several icebergs are blocking my way," a navy officer said.
"Iceberg..."
""
Vergo, who was staring into the distance, slowly narrowed his eyes. Caesar, that guy, really has a way with things.
"Vice Admiral Vergo, am I really going to go here?" the gray-haired navy officer asked hesitantly. "This island is full of poison gas!"
Although he was ugly and carried a gas mask, in such a dangerous place, a gas mask might not even be useful!
"Yes, Lieutenant General Vergo, the Straw Hat crew definitely won't come here."
"That's right, please think it over carefully."
If he could, he wouldn't really want to go to this very dangerous island.
After all... there's a possibility of being poisoned to death!
"No, I've already received news from Jikiri that the Straw Hat crew has arrived here," Vergo said calmly. "That's why I have to go."
"Only in this way can these evildoers be brought to justice!"
Seeing that Vergo had said that, the others didn't say anything more.
After all... the other party is the boss.
But the thought that the place he was going to might be full of poisonous gas gave him a sudden headache.
Will they... really not die inside?
As if sensing what these Asians were thinking, Vergo said, "Don't worry, the poison gas on this island may have disappeared."
"It's gone?"
The others in the hall were taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"
"You're ugly, you can see this Iceland, right?" Vergo said, pointing to the Iceland in front of him.
"Of course, I'm ugly but not blind..."
'
Vergo wasn't angry at that, but instead pointed to the sky above the island and continued, "And opposite this Icelandic island is a volcano filled with flames!"
"?"
"!!!"
Hearing Vergo's words, the navy personnel were all dumbfounded.
Then, a navy officer exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible, Vice Admiral Vergo!"
"Yes, how could there be two islands with different properties in this world? You must be joking."
He might believe that the climate in the new world changes very quickly, but he absolutely does not believe that such an ice and fire island exists.
After all... these are two conflicting attributes!
"I know you're ugly and don't believe me, and before I came here, I didn't believe it either," Vergo said. "But I just used Moonwalk to go up there and saw that the island on the other side is Fire Island."
"And this... also confirms a rumor I've heard before."
"There really is one... *glug*..."
'
Hearing Vergo's words, a look of horror flashed in the eyes of the marines. Could there really be an Ice and Fire Island in this world?!
This is unbelievable!
"What rumors have you heard?" one person asked.
"You know about the duel between Fleet Admiral Sakazuki and former Admiral Aokiji, right?" Vergo said.
"Of course, who wouldn't know about something this big?"
This was a major event that shocked the entire world; it was even reported in the newspapers!
Even ordinary citizens know about this, let alone those in the Navy Command.
"Is what you're saying related to this matter?"
"Of course, it's related to the Seat." Vergo nodded, then pointed to the island in front of him and said, "This is where Marshal Sakazuki and Aokiji fought for ten days and ten nights."
"Rumor has it that when he fought the battle two years ago, the poisonous gas here had already mostly dissipated."
"That's why they chose this place as the battleground."
"And this Ice and Fire Island... is a result of the influence of his ugly ability!"
Upon hearing this, all the Navy Ugly men showed expressions of horror.
What did they hear?
The current admiral and the former admiral fought on this island for ten days and ten nights, changing the island's climate.
Isn't this a bit too scary?
Is this the strength of the world's top experts?
Permanently altering the island's climate?
"Gurgle..."
'
"This...is that even possible...?"
"I know this sounds unbelievable, but it's true," Vergo said.
As he spoke, a hint of envy appeared in Vergo's eyes.
If he also possessed the same formidable strength... he could probably help Dover.
It's a pity he didn't have the ability.
Hey...
"Permanently altering the climate...what a terrifying fighting force."
Is this the strength of a Navy Admiral and a Navy Fleet Admiral?
It's really beyond my imagination.
"So don't worry about being ugly," Vergo said. "This island should be habitable for humans now."
The navy personnel breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then laughed and said, "There's nothing more to say about the department."
Let's go to Punk Hazard together!!
"profound!!"
Vergo, who had taken in all these people's reactions, had a hint of mockery in his eyes.
I wonder how these guys will react when they find out about his ugly ending~
After a silent sneer, Vergo slowly adjusted his sunglasses.
Just then, a navy officer pointed at Vergo's face and said, "Vice Admiral Vergo, you have a piece of steak stuck to your face..."
"Ah, it probably got stuck there by accident while eating again."
As he spoke, Vergo removed the steak from his face and then put it in his mouth and ate it.
Food is precious at sea, so it should not be wasted.
Seeing this, the Navy officer sighed helplessly. His ugly Vice Admiral Vergo was indeed a bit of a simpleton at times.
Then the navigator came over and said, "Vice Admiral Vergo, there are icebergs everywhere here. Getting in won't be an easy task..."
1
"I know."
Staring at the distant iceberg, Vergo calmly said, "But there will always be a place we can get in."
As he spoke, Vergo recalled the method Dover had previously given him for entering Punk Hazard.
Then, pointing to the area with the vortex on the side, he said, "Use the cannons to blast open the iceberg in the system."
"clear!"
The naval scoff immediately sprang into action, turning their cannons to aim at the distant iceberg and speaking without hesitation.
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Soon, several shells struck the distant iceberg, blasting numerous cracks into it.
The next moment...
"Click~"
"boom!!"
The iceberg, having reached its limit, broke into a large number of ice blocks!
With the iceberg no longer an obstacle, the navy noticed the river hidden behind it.
"There really is a river censorship zone behind this!" the Navy officer exclaimed in shock. "Vice Admiral Vergo, how did you discover that?"
"Boss, you're amazing!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"It's just that we happened to find some unusual places." Vergo pointed to the gradually disappearing vortex and said, "The vortex in this place doesn't look normal."
Upon hearing this, the others in the hall immediately glanced in the direction Vergo was pointing, then exclaimed in surprise, "Amazing! I was so ugly I didn't even notice that!"
"As expected of the man known as the Demon Bamboo, his insight surpasses that of humans!"
"Hahaha."
"Nonsense, you're ugly to these Asian guys." Vergo frowned and said, "Get the boat in right now."
"Hahaha, Lieutenant General Vergo is getting a little angry~"
"Hurry, hurry, the boat is setting sail!"
"profound!"
Vergo ignored the other guys and stared intently at the distant iceberg, lost in thought.
After a moment, he muttered, "I hope you'll behave yourself even if you're ugly."
"The temperature by the river is noticeably lower..."
'
After staring at the water for a while, Usopp looked up at the distant Iceland and said, "I wonder how things are going with his ugly side."
"They're probably trying to escape," west Yan said.
Given their physical condition, they should wake up soon, so west Yan guessed that Nami and the others were probably trying to escape.
"Run away...."
'
Nicole Robin thought about it seriously for a moment, then said in a very serious tone, "Well... I hope he's ugly enough not to get riddled with flintlock bullets."
west Yan's lips twitched upon hearing this. Couldn't this guy come up with something better?
Usopp, with his shark-like mouth wide open, exclaimed, "Stop talking, you cunning bastard!"
Can you please stop making things sound so terrible, you bastard!
Nicole Robin simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
"If I'd known we were going to Isakusa Island on the other side, I would have gone to Kasumigaoka Island from the other side since I'm ugly," Zoro said, scratching his head. "That would have been much faster."
"That means we won't be able to eat dragon meat," Luffy said. "And we won't be able to run into Kami-ro either."
Zoro: ? ? ?
Upon hearing Luffy's words, several question marks immediately popped into Zoro's mind.
What is "foot numbness"?
"That's the name of my hind leg," Luffy grinned.
Zoro: ...
So what a strange name that is!
"Okay, everyone, let's put our clothes on first."
As they were talking, Mei Li took out several cotton-padded coats and handed them to west Yan, indicating that Daya should put on the thick cotton-padded coats.
After taking the cotton coat and putting it on, Usopp exclaimed, "Luckily, Merry has spatial abilities, otherwise I wouldn't know where to find a cotton coat if I were so ugly."
At this moment, Usopp was more grateful that Merry had spatial abilities than that.
Otherwise, because he's ugly, he'd have to brave the cold to save people.
Zoro, holding his cotton coat, stared at the lake for a while, then suddenly had a thought and said, "Speaking of which... how about I swim across?"
Usopp: ? ? ?
Usopp looked at Zoro with a puzzled expression. How could Zoro say something like that?
"Are you kidding me?"
west Yan was also dumbfounded as he looked at Zoro. How did this guy come up with the idea of swimming here?
"Winter travel helps build physical strength," Zoro said.
Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately shoved his nose into Zoro's face and yelled, "Have you forgotten that I'm a Devil Fruit user?"
How can you swim in this condition, you idiot!
"Why don't we just let Xiyan protect your ugliness?" Zoro said.
Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes immediately lit up.
It doesn't seem like it's impossible.
With Xiyan's ability, ability users can also swim!
"It's cold here too!"
Usopp shoved Zoro aside and said with a disgruntled look, "You think I'm as ugly as you?"
Going swimming in the river in the dead of winter—only Zoro would do something like that.
"I really think..."
"1
"Shut up!"
Usopp grabbed Luffy's lip, opened his shark-like mouth, and roared, "You're not allowed to think that!!!"
He definitely didn't want to swim in the river at this temperature...
You could die if you do that!
Luffy pouted when he heard this. If you don't want me to say it, then don't. Why are you grabbing my mouth?
Having observed the reactions of the others, Xi Yan shook his head helplessly.
Then, west Yan said, "Alright, stop fooling around. Let's use Mei Li's ability to fly over there; that would be better."
He wasn't particularly interested in swimming here, so let's just fly over.
Seeing what west Yan had to say, Zoro and Luffy gave up on the idea of swimming over.
Then, Melie used the power of the wind to lift the group off the ground and quickly flew towards Iceland in the distance.
Feeling the wind on his face, Usopp said, "It's so cold..."
'
If the temperature is this low here, then... what must the temperature be like in Iceland?
He's so ugly, I hope he won't freeze into an icicle!
As if recalling a certain scene, Usopp's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Is it cold?"
Merry glanced at Usopp and said, "Then I'll make a wind shield."
After saying that, Meili used her power to create a wind shield in front of them, which would block the wind from blowing.
Noticing the temperature change, Usopp grinned and said, "The temperature has indeed risen."
"It'll only be for a short while." Zoro, staring into the distance, said, "Once we get there, I'll still have to endure the cold winds there."
At least during battle, he couldn't get Mei to shield him from the cold wind.
"Of course I know that..." Usopp said with a stern expression, "I just want to enjoy myself right now."
This time, Zoro simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
Mei Li laughed and said, "As long as there's no battle, I can still create a windless environment around me."
Usopp's eyes lit up at this, and he said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Merry!"
"profound!"
"Leave it to me!"
