Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

Vegapunk is recognized as the world's number one scientist.

This kind of people will pursue the ultimate perfection no matter what they do, this is the rule they set for themselves.

Things are divided into groups, and people of a feather flock together.

Vegapunk, [Plague] Quinn, and Vinsmoke Gage worked together for a period of time. Although they parted ways due to their different choices in the end, the three people's handling styles have certain similarities. .

——They all have absolute confidence in their own research direction.

Now, most of the crystal ghost virus in Caesar's hands came from [Plague] Quinn, probably because Vegapunk kept some of the research materials from that year, and was discovered by Caesar later.

But since the crystal ghost virus has been researched, why would [Pandemic] Quinn release the ice ghost virus with similar characteristics in the future?

Probably, [Plague] Quinn felt that the crystal ghost virus was not "perfect" enough.

The speed of infection is slow, and the route of transmission must also be through "crystal and blood" contact.

At the same time, the rate of increase in the combat ability of the infected is relatively low, and the speed of death is far inferior to that of the ice ghost virus.

But if it's just that, it doesn't seem to be enough to make [Plague] Quinn completely give up this weapon of mass destruction.

There must be a bigger fatal flaw in the crystal ghost virus!

After being infected with the crystal ghost virus, the most obvious symptom is the armor-like crystal derivative.

This crystal crystal derivative has the characteristic of "activation", which can not only destructively improve the physical fitness of the infected, but also spread quickly through the blood of ordinary people.

According to common medical theories, how to deal with this crystal derivative has become the key to solving the crystal ghost virus.

Now, this "key" was discovered by Shiruluk and Kureha——

The crystal ghost virus is a swarm-like biological weapon, and these crystals share the same source of infection!

What's the meaning?

In short, as long as the only source of infection is dealt with, all crystal derivatives on crystal ghosts will lose their proper activity.

At that time, the crystal ghost virus will lose all infectivity, and even those who have been infected with the crystal ghost virus can be rescued.

Destroying the source of infection—is the best "vaccine antidote" to the crystal ghost virus!

From this point of view, the reason why [Epidemic] Quinn abandoned the crystal ghost virus is also obvious.

For the party that released the virus, it is only necessary to keep one copy of the vaccine for itself, and the only copy must be well hidden.

However, in order to control the spread of the crystal ghost virus, the source of infection is indispensable, and it must be firmly in one's own hands.

In this way, "the key to controlling the virus" and "the vaccine to solve the virus" belong together, and troublesome things come.

As long as you understand the characteristics of the crystal ghost virus, everyone will make the same strategic choice——

beheaded.

The source of infection is most likely in the hands of the virus releaser.

Then even killing the virus releaser together, wouldn't the virus be solved?

Not only is the weakness obvious, but it even puts the virus releaser in danger. [Plague] Quinn would not be so stupid as to release this virus on the battlefield.

It's too tasteless!

But Caesar Courant apparently didn't realize this.

...

Luo Wen cleared his mind, and blinked away the sand table in his pupils.

He said to Kureha who was busy on the side: "Let me go to the palace of the Kingdom of Aden."

"Go and come back quickly."

Kureha grinned and said: "If I have developed a vaccine antidote before you, you will have to make a trip in vain."

Apparently, the information left by Shiruluk inspired Kureha, and her research and development work progressed rapidly.

Luo Wen nodded, smiled and said, "I will try my best."

Afterwards, he bent down and picked up Siruluk's jug from the ground, and raised his head to take a few sips.

"Well, it's really enjoyable to drink!"

Rowan grinned, holding the jug in his hand, and the scepter in the other hand.

He murmured:

"Then, it's time to settle accounts..."

...

Kingdom of Aden, Royal Palace.

The cadres of the Don Quixote family are still stationed in the square.

At this moment, there was a roar in their ears.

The deafening roar became more and more obvious, and then a dazzling golden meteor came straight to the square from far and near!

Diamanti was the first to notice the abnormality and let out a low drink.

"coming!"

Immediately, the ten cadres of the Don Quixote family made preparations to meet the enemy.

At the same time, several tiny threads converged on one side of the square, and finally transformed into a clone of Doflamingo.

His body is currently in the royal palace, accompanied by Caesar who is holding the crystal source of infection.

Line fruit ability, Shadow Riding Line - Clone!

"Dover?"

"Little Lord!"

All the cadres were a little surprised when they saw Doflamingo's silk clone.

Doflamingo's avatar waved his hand, grinned, and walked in front of everyone, facing the direction of the golden meteor.

Suddenly, a violent sandstorm blew up all around, and countless gravel were blown by the wind.

A figure emerged from the sandstorm.

Not Lord Luo Wen, but a gravel soldier.

Instead of the lance usual of gravel soldiers, he carried a two-handed flagpole.

There is a "flag" connected to the top of the pole, which is composed of gravel, and the patterns on it cannot be seen, and the gravel at the end is continuously blowing with the wind.

The soldier's attire was extremely cumbersome and complicated, and the armor was more decorative than practical.

It was a "guard of honor".

There was a "clang".

The guard of honor put the flagpole in his hand on the ground, and stood up straight, as if announcing the arrival of someone.

Doflamingo's clone grinned, looking very excited.

"Lian Rowan, the emperor eight hundred years ago, can you hear me?"

The guard of honor's gaze streamed from under the helmet, locking onto Doflamingo's clone.

"Eh, oh, oh, it seems that I can hear it!"

Doflamingo's avatar opened his arms and laughed loudly: "Don't rush to do it, listen to me before it's too late!"

The guard of honor didn't move at all, as if the flag was everything to him.

Doflamingo continued:

"I never pointed out that Caesar's idiot's 'biological weapon' could stop you and your Universal Alliance."

"Because for me, the 'Four Seas Alliance' is comparable to the 'World Government'!"

Doflamingo's words stunned the cadres present.

They always thought that Doflamingo wanted to take the task of "blocking the Universal Alliance" as a nomination certificate, and then join the Shichibukai, but what Doflamingo said now seems to be different.

"Lian Rowan, you can't shoot me."

"Neither the Four Seas Alliance nor the World Government can take action against me."

Doflamingo pushed his sunglasses and said slowly:

"Qiwuhai's letter of appointment is already on the way, and will arrive in the Kingdom of Aden soon."

As soon as this remark came out, the gravel messenger finally responded.

He turned his head and tilted his head slightly, as if waiting for Doflamingo's next words.

"I became Qiwuhai, which means that my status has been legally recognized by the world government."

"If you deal with me, you will give the world government a reason to target the Four Seas Alliance!"

"So, you can't touch me."

Doflamingo never underestimated the "Alliance of the Four Seas".

In other words, he saw the horror of the Four Seas Alliance before many people on this sea.

Therefore, Doflamingo treated the "Four Seas Alliance" as a behemoth equivalent to the "World Government" from the very beginning!

In the face of this level of power, it is undoubtedly a stupid act to fight against.

The correct approach is to find their weakness, and then restrain them to the greatest extent!

The center of the cyclone is often the calmest part of the storm.

This is the core of the Doflamingo project.

He wants to be a key pawn for the world government to contain the Universal Alliance, and at the same time he also wants to...

"Come to cooperate, Ryan Rowan."

Doflamingo grinned and offered another proposal, "Weapons, territory, technology, troops... as long as the Universal Alliance wants, I can give it to you."

"Isn't this an extremely cost-effective deal?"

The gravel messenger remained silent, and the flag on the flagpole swayed in the wind.

After a few breaths, the surrounding sandstorm became more and more violent.

Gradually, the cadres of the Don Quixote family discovered that there were more gravel soldiers around.

Countless soldiers emerged from the sandstorm.

They lined up neatly, like the guard of honor, welcoming their "emperor".

rumbling...

There was a violent tremor.

On the originally flat square, a sloping cliff suddenly rose.

The sound of light armor rubbing came from the sandstorm.

"Good proposal."

"If you can meet one condition, I will agree to your cooperation."

Luo Wen walked up the cliff slowly.

Finally, he climbed to the top of the cliff, stepped on the highest place with one foot, and bent down to look at all members of the Don Quixote family.

"You have to live until the world government sends the appointment letter."
