Pirates: Davy Jones is the captain of the Dread Ghost

Chapter 398 A reminder to Luffy, the execution of Mary Joa in the Holy Land

"'Straw Hat' Luffy?"

Vegapunk asked tentatively.

Luffy in the shadow had some reaction and struggled for a while.

But his mouth was sealed with an iron sheet, and his voice was unclear.

Vegapunk had no idea what Luffy wanted to say.

After confirming that it was Luffy, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "I am Vegapunk, and I am...an old friend of your father and Big Bear."

Luffy calmed down and tilted his head, seeming to be thinking hard. He had heard the name "Vegapunk" somewhere and it was very familiar.

As for Vegapunk's hesitant performance when talking about "old friends", Luffy didn't care.

Vegapunk sighed and said to himself:

"The person in this world who most wants to witness whether your growth meets expectations is two meters away from you."

"It's a pity that he is like this, otherwise he would have a lot to say to you."

He looked at the unresponsive Big Bear and knew that the Big Bear must have been temporarily shut down, but he still continued:

"I wonder if you will regret it? I regret not taking Bonnie with me, flying far away, and giving up caring about this rotten world. Maybe in this way, at least you can be happy."

At this moment, Vegapunk suddenly lowered his voice.

"Yesterday, a woman you and I know called and we talked for a long time. She had a very dangerous proposal and hoped that I could rescue you."

By "the woman he knows," he refers to Stussy, who has now joined the Deep Sea Empire.

"I refused. Sorry, Big Bear, the probability of success of the plan is too low, and if it fails, I will pay the price with my life. This is something I can't bear. I have too many fantastic ideas that have not yet been realized."

"Of course, most of my fantastic ideas that can receive financial support from the world government are 'weapons'."

"They are dismissive of technologies that can really help people around the world, such as 'shared knowledge' and 'island air conditioning'."

The big bear was still lying stiffly, without even opening his eyes, like a fallen statue.

Vegapunk looked increasingly sad.

"I have also thought about whether the 'weapons' I made have long since deviated from the original intention of wanting world peace, but I can no longer look back."

"It's too late. You can't win, and neither can they. I don't want to die with you."

Having said that, the day after Vegapunk rejected Stussy, he came to visit Big Bear and Luffy in prison.

His mood is actually quite complicated.

"The 'Mother Fire' still has many flaws, such as the refilling time after launch is too long... But overall, as a weapon of mass destruction, it is qualified."

"If you give me more time to adjust, these problems can be solved. It's just that the 'Five Old Stars' don't have such patience."

"Because their purpose is to be lethal enough to eliminate the Deep Sea Empire's base camp and other rebels. At this point, I have completed the task brilliantly."

When Vegapunk said this, it was with ridicule and even fear, and his voice trembled.

"Big Bear...many people will die from this weapon I invented, many people..."

"Pacifists can take different actions against different individuals, but Mother Fire is definitely used to eliminate all life on an entire island."

"No distinction between friend and foe, good or evil, all living beings are equal, they will all be reduced to ashes under the flames. And this sea will be permanently vacant."

Vegapunk grabbed his head with both hands and his eyes widened.

"I may have ruined the possibility of world peace with my own hands. Because I know very well that no other force can develop a weapon like Mother Fire."

"The Mother Fire will help the Celestial Dragons and the World Government continue to rule the world for eight hundred years."

The big bear never responded, just lying there coldly.

Vegapunk had a sad look on his face. He knew very well that the big bear would not react in any way unless he heard a specific keyword.

Then, he looked at Luffy, lowered his voice again, and said quickly:

"Before Big Bear was completely transformed, he actually set up two procedures. The first one was to 'protect Straw Hat's pirate ship'."

"Luffy, if he starts running, remember to follow him. This may be your only way to freedom."

After Vegapunk finished speaking, he stood up straight, turned around and walked towards the jailer before Luffy could react.

"My visit is over. Please take me back."

The jailers nodded and led Begapunk away.

By the time Begapunk left Pangu City and breathed fresh air, the sun had already risen in the sky.

Accompanying him were two of his clones - the "righteous" Sakyamuni and the "evil" Lilith.

Shakya looks like an orthodox robot, with a mechanical head and a windbreaker. And Lilith looks like a lively and active girl.

"Doctor, is the visit over?" Shakya asked.

Vegapunk nodded: "It's over, let's go, we still have a lot of research to complete."

Shakya and Lilith looked at each other and felt that the doctor was in a very low mood.

Lilith was puzzled.

But Shakya vaguely guessed the doctor's inner thoughts.

Vegapunk took them away and walked in the city of Draco in the holy land of Mariejoia.

Shakya remained silent all the way.

But Lilith observed the magnificent buildings here curiously, and said with a smile:

"I was still thinking about what they would use their technology and money for. It turns out it is for enjoyment. That guy from Desire York will definitely like it here, right?"

"Being a Tianlong, you eat, drink, and sleep every day. You don't have to worry about anything, and everything revolves around you. Wow, it's so exciting."

Yes, it is so enjoyable that most Tianlong people are not willing to give up such a life.

"Woo——"

Suddenly, someone blew a horn with a long and loud sound.

The Tianlong people on the street stopped to watch.

The slaves reflexively knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, let alone move.

Vegapunk, Shakya, and Lilith were not Celestial Dragons, but they were not slaves either, so they just knelt down on one knee.

"What's wrong?" Lilith was still a little reluctant and muttered in a low voice, "Kneel down when you say it. What big shot is here?"

Sakyamuni reminded: "Don't make any noise, this is the holy land of Mary Joa, don't cause trouble for the doctor."

Lilith pouted and had no choice but to say nothing.

Soon, the flag of the "Knights of God" was raised high, and everyone knew who was coming.

The Tianlong people cheered and jumped.

The highest officer of the Knights of God, Fegalandu Greene, rides on a high-headed horse.

His streamlined hairstyle and long beard happened to form a moon-like shape.

Ancient Saint Green looked forward, his old face full of solemnity.

Before the Battle of the Valley of Gods, he was the most famous Knight of Gods.

After that, he slaughtered countless enemies and untouchable slaves in the Valley of the Gods.

This battle finally established his current position in the Holy Land of Mariejoia.

Compared with Lieutenant General Garp, he is the "hero" in the eyes of the Tianlong people.

Ancient Saint Green rode a horse and led a group of knights of God who also rode horses towards the end of the street.

Behind their team, there were prison cars accompanying them.

When he saw clearly who was in the prison car, there were constant curses on the prisoners coming from both sides of the street.

It was quite unpleasant, and even the informal Lilith frowned when she heard it.

This group of Tianlong people don't even need to follow the aristocratic etiquette of holding a table.

They are the most free-spirited people on the sea.

"Doctor." Shakya suggested, "Should we follow him and have a look?"

Vegapunk's eyes were gray, he nodded, and replied: "Go and have a look."

The three of them, following the Knights of God, numerous Celestial Dragons and the slaves being ridden, went straight to a huge execution ground.

The three of them looked at each other and quickly understood what they wanted to do.

Sure enough, Ancient Sage Green got off his horse and had people push the prisoners one by one on the execution platform.

A grand execution is about to begin.
