Meeting Vegapunk

Alivaren is an ordinary person in this capital, who earns money by working in a tavern every day, and dreams of opening his own tavern one day.

After going home today, he fell asleep quickly because of fatigue, but when he woke up in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a strange sound from the upper floor.

As soon as he heard this sound, Alivaren knew that it was the doing of the people upstairs.

The newlyweds were doing happy things, and he couldn't help but mumble, "Here it is again, but fortunately it is usually over in three or four minutes, it should be the same today? It's really annoying."

After speaking, Alivaren turned over and planned to continue sleeping.

Falling asleep, the sound upstairs was not over yet, but the ground suddenly vibrated.

Immediately afterwards.

With a 'boom', the wall broke.

Alivaren sat up abruptly from the bed, and looked at the broken wall dumbly. He then showed a look of horror on his face.

He saw a dense swarm of ants swarming past his bed, and everything including the walls was swallowed up and turned into nothingness.

This building disappeared almost instantly.

Alivaren's pupils shrunk, and he sat on his bed with fear.

He was so frightened that he could only watch the group of ants pass by his bed, and soon the original house disappeared.

But the next moment.

"What!!"

A scream sounded.

Alivaren returned to his senses and looked up, only to see two bare figures falling from above.

One of them fell into Alivaren's arms, and the other fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

Looking down at the bare figure that fell into his arms, Alivaren was surprised.

They were the newlyweds who lived upstairs.

They seemed to be doing business just now, but the group of ants swarmed past.

The whole building was gone, the ceiling was swallowed, and the newlyweds upstairs also fell down.

But it was not the wife who fell into Alivaren's arms, but... the husband.

At this moment, the husband's naked body was lying in Alivaren's arms, and he had a look of shock...

...

"Ants, so many ants!"

"Run!"

"Help!"

In this city, panic sounds spread everywhere.

The guards who were originally guarding the place where Vegapunk lived were disturbed.

Soon afterwards, they began to be called to leave, and only more than a dozen guards were left to wait here.

"Almost."

After Mio murmured, he looked at Warwick and Erica and said, "Warwick, go and get rid of those people, and then wait outside for me to come out, and kill anyone who comes close."

"Warwick understands." Warwick nodded, and then his figure disappeared.

In front of the ten guards, Warwick's figure appeared within a few breaths, and then Warwick's sharp claws accompanied by cold light began to harvest lives.

Before screams could be heard, all ten guards died in Warwick's hands.

At this time, Mio and Erica did not hesitate, and they quickly moved towards the residence in front of them.

This is called a residence, but in fact, it can be regarded as a huge castle, covering a wide area.

The guards inside had left long ago, and only a few servants were left.

These people were trembling with fear because of the shouts outside.

As Mio and Erica walked into the castle, they were quickly discovered by these maids.

These maids suddenly showed fear in their eyes, thinking that the panic outside was caused by the person in front of them.

"Where is Vegapunk?" Mio said in a low voice.

The maids lowered their heads, their bodies trembled without making a sound.

Mio drew the sword from his waist, slashed, and released a burst of sword aura, and cut a hole in the wall.

"Where is Vegapunk?" Mio asked again.

A servant in a maid dress tremblingly raised her hand, and pointed in a direction in fear, "In, in the basement."

Hearing that, Mio didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly over there, and Erica followed closely behind.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the basement, which was closed by an iron door.

After opening the iron gate, the two entered inside.

Going down the stairs, they quickly reached the bottom. Various instruments came into their sight.

At the same time, two figures appeared in Mio's sight.

One of them had long golden hair and a strong figure.

The other had short black hair and a slender figure.

"Vinsmoke Judge?" Looking at the figure with long blonde hair, Mio frowned.

He was surprised that this man was Sanji's father, the eldest of the Vinsmoke family, and the king of Germa Kingdom.

Mio was curious about why he had apppaered here. He didn't expect Judge to be here, but soon he set his sights on the person next to Judge.

Taking a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, but he was also curious.

This person is Vegapunk, right?

Vegapunk is not outstanding in appearance, and can even be described as ordinary looking.

But at this time, Vegapunk was wearing a pair of glasses, and he seemed to have a somewhat refined temperament.

Hearing the movement, both of them looked towards Mio.

Seeing Mio and Erica, both of them were a little surprised, and Judge frowned directly, "Who are you? Who allowed you to come down without permission? Get out."

Boom!

As soon as the sound fell, a terrifying silver slash burst out suddenly.

It passed by Judge, and blasted the wall behind Judge. The powerful slash smashed the wall into a crack.

Erica's voice was cold and angry, "You are not allowed to be unreasonable to master."

"Guru..."

Turning his eyes to the wall behind him, Judge swallowed his saliva.

His lips quivered and he looked a bit angry and a little frightened, and he hesitated for a while.

"The two guests came here to look for me?" At the same time, Vegapunk slowly asked, but his tone was sure.

"That's right." Mio nodded.

His gaze has been on Vegapunk's body since the beginning.

"So it seems that this gentleman is looking for something that I have, otherwise he wouldn't have come over at this time."

Vegapunk smiled back, and then looked at Judge.

His expression calmed down, and he said slowly, "You should leave Judge. As for the things you and I said before, I'm sorry I am not interested. It is... too boring. I have no interest in that kind of research."

"You...huh."

Upon hearing this, Judge's eyes showed anger. "Vegapunk, don't you understand? It's undeniable that the lineage factor is indeed powerful and you have made some progress, but even you will need at least ten years to thoroughly study the lineage factor."

"Now you don't have so much time. I hope you can think about what I just said and give me an answer."

"As long as you want, the Germa Kingdom will provide you with the greatest financial resources to help you with your research."

After speaking, Judge turned around and left.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at Mio and Erica who was wearing a cloak to cover her appearance.

Then, he stepped up the stairs, and his figure quickly disappeared from the basement...
