Chapter 138 Iron Man: Prequel
"We're back~~"
Quinn led a group of people out of the forest, each carrying large and small boxes and bags.
"Boss Bazel, here's the hot wine you ordered."
"Hard."
Bazel took the wine and sipped it gently.
The scalding flames entered the stomach from the throat and then spread to the limbs and bones.
After "enlightening" Dorrag, Bazel took another sip of wine, feeling that the joy in his soul had reached its peak.
"Loki, take them upstairs and deliver the supplies. Leave the sorting to Jinbe."
"Understood~"
"Quinn, stay behind for a moment."
He called Quinn to sit beside him, and after a moment's thought, Bazel asked a question.
"You specialize in weapons research at MADS, right?"
Quinn nodded and said, "That's right, boss. Are you interested in this?"
That's right.
After a moment's hesitation, Bazel took another sip of wine.
"You knew that the Beasts Pirates have members from the Tontatta tribe, right?"
Quinn nodded in agreement.
"Here's what I'm thinking: could you develop a special mech specifically for the Dwarf race?"
"If it were used by humans or giants, the cost of the mechs would be extremely high, but if it were used by dwarfs, the funds could be diverted elsewhere."
"Furthermore, the Beasts Pirates have another scientist who is currently working on solving the problem of new energy sources, and I believe he will be able to complete it soon."
When the conversation turned to his area of expertise, Quinn immediately got into the swing of things.
"The mecha boss is referring to something like external modifications, right?"
After receiving confirmation, Quinn did not reply immediately, but instead rested his chin on his hand and fell into thought.
"Theoretically speaking, there is no problem, but the most difficult issue to solve is the energy problem."
"I've heard of the little people. Although those little people of the Tontatta race are very small, their strength and speed are several times that of humans."
77
"They are an excellent race. If you want to make external modification parts specifically for miniature figures..."
"Boss Bazel, may I ask what energy source the other scientist is researching?"
"Solar technology that converts sunlight into energy."
Bazel grinned and said:
"The main force of the Beasts Pirates is currently stationed in the Giant Country, where they have a very special kind of ore."
"The power of sunlight can be used to draw rainbow bridges for ships to navigate, and this energy can also be applied to many other fields such as forging."
"If Asiye's research is successful, then we will obtain a solar energy converter that can convert sunlight."
"I understand your concerns; you're worried about energy conversion efficiency, right?"
Quinn: "That's right, even if new energy sources can convert sunlight into energy, how much can be converted is still a question."
"Boss, the power of the little human mechs you proposed will be measured by the amount of energy they contain."
"If the energy is scarce and impure, this kind of mech won't be very effective. It's better to let those fast little people use their inherent strengths."
Quinn's words hit the nail on the head.
"But then again, if I could see that technology with my own eyes, I might be able to develop a machine to purify energy based on it."
"If we could purify and concentrate 10 or even 100 units of sunlight energy into one unit, the energy problem might be solved."
As expected of Quinn.
Bazel thought to himself that the other party had found the loophole in new energy sources just from a casual chat with him.
That's exactly what they said.
The purity of energy and how much energy is equivalent to one unit of energy are all issues that need to be addressed and tested.
This year marks the start of the World Conference, and they need to deliver a complete version of the Beast Energy Vehicle before King Riku heads to the Holy Land.
As long as the energy vehicle can operate perfectly, the completion of the energy supply needed for the mecha will not be far off.
"Quinn, tell everyone to speed up and get to the waters where Wano Country is located as fast as possible!"
Knowing that time was of the essence, Bazeir immediately ordered the departure.
"We don't have much time left. We must perfect the new energy source within six months, otherwise we will have to wait another four years to get such a good opportunity."
"Yes, I'll go and inform everyone right away!!"
.....
Blue blue blue~
With the stolen ship's deck in hand, Bazel waved to his companions beside him, signaling them to stay away.
"Hello, esteemed guests, we are meteorologists from Visalia. Do you remember us?"
Visalia?
After a moment's thought, Bazel smiled and replied, "Of course, have you arrived in the new world?"
"I'm very sorry, but due to some unforeseen circumstances on the way here, our arrival may be delayed by several months. I wonder if things are urgent on your end?"
"It's alright, we've had some accidents here too."
Bazel raised his index finger to his lips, gesturing for silence to Quinn as he approached.
"You proceed according to your plan. If my matter is resolved ahead of schedule, I will contact you immediately."
"That's great—oh no, I mean it's too unfortunate."
Den Den Mushi picked up a tissue to wipe his sweat and chuckled:
"We'll head to Wano Country as soon as possible, and we'll contact you again!"
Kacha--
The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.
Quinn asked curiously, "Are you talking about those meteorologists from Visalia? Boss, are you planning to ask them for the method to control island clouds?"
"That's right, they're probably the only ones who can be offered up as easy prey in this vast ocean."
After putting away the Den Den Mushi, Bazel looked at Quinn.
"Is there something you need?"
"Oh right, this one!"
Quinn took out a wooden box and handed it to Bazel.
"This is the treasure we stole on our last trip to Mary Geoise. These two Devil Fruits are the most valuable items."
Devil Fruit?
Bazel took the wooden box and opened it, revealing sweet fruits inside.
Twin Devil Fruits, one red and one purple.
It can be said that among all the Devil Fruits that have appeared in the ocean, the Love-Love Fruit is definitely as venomous as a scorpion's excrement.
"Sweet fruit."
Bazel picked up the Devil Fruit and played with it.
He always felt that this fruit might be in the same situation as Luffy's Nika Fruit.
In the early stages, it was the Paramecia-type Gum-Gum Fruit.
Later on, it became Nika, a Mythical Beast.
This sweet fruit possesses the ability to petrify, much like the legendary Medusa.
In addition, Hancock belongs to Amazon Lily in the original work, and both sisters ate the Snake-Snake Fruit.
It's hard not to have ulterior motives.
Perhaps after the Love-Love Fruit awakens, it will be like Nika's, transforming from an ordinary Paramecia-type Devil Fruit into a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit?
Zoan-type Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Medusa form?
"This should be a Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit."
Quinn then began to introduce himself.
"As for why there are two Devil Fruits, I don't know either. If Vegapunk were here, he might be able to explain it."
"As for the other one, Quinn looked somewhat troubled as he picked up the Devil Fruit with the pure white peel."
"I'm not really sure what kind of fruit this is, but it looks a lot like a useless mythical beast."
"It should be the Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Pegasus mode."
Pegasus Fruit!?
Bazel was stunned.
Wasn't this Devil Fruit eaten by a horse named Zhuangzhuang in the future?
Why would it appear in a Celestial Dragon's house?
"are you sure?"
When asked by Bazel, Quinn waved his hands repeatedly.
"I only occasionally glanced at Vegapunk's collection of Devil Fruit illustrations, boss, please don't make things difficult for me."
"If I'm wrong, it will definitely cause a huge mess."
Bazel toyed with the pure white Devil Fruit in his hand, which also had a pair of small wings.
Pegasus Fruit!
The question of who should own this fruit put Bazeir in a difficult position.
This fruit isn't particularly powerful, since its abilities weren't shown much in the original story.
Aside from being able to fly, it seems to have no other uses.
Abel is definitely in the Pegasus Fruit sequence.
He already has wings and can fly, so eating this fruit would be a complete waste of his life.
Regarding Loki's situation, Bazel had a better option.
Moreover, the opponent's advantage lies in the giants' superior physical attributes; even when their bodies, which are tens of meters tall, are propelled into the air, they can only be used as targets by the enemy.
Dorry, Brogy, Enel—.
One face after another flashed through his mind. Suddenly, Bazel squinted at Quinn, who was humming a little tune in front of him.
This guy seems pretty good!
If nothing changes in the future, Quinn will almost certainly continue to transform himself into a cyborg.
If Quinn ate that Pegasus Fruit, wouldn't he turn into a bomber?
Moreover, it was a large bomber with an enormous belly capacity!
"Quinn~"
"Would you like to eat this Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit?"
