Chapter 571: The True and False Stussy
On an Island in the fringe area of the Grand Line.
Ignis's figure appeared silently.
Immediately after, he turned into nothingness and entered the depths of the Island.
Over the years, he had actually been searching for the whereabouts of the Scientist Buckingham Stussy.
This was in order to fully grasp the most perfect Cloning Technology for himself, especially since Vegapunk was already dead.
Only two people remained who possessed perfect Cloning Technology.
As a Scientist, to survive, one must definitely come out to purchase supplies.
Even on the most remote Island, they would at least reveal their whereabouts.
Relying on the Intelligence from the Kronos Kingdom, after years of searching, he finally found the whereabouts of Buckingham Stussy.
However, after getting closer, Ignis was somewhat stunned.
A Child with golden hair and an unusually strong body was training his body.
A Woman who looked somewhat aged sat on the Child's back, adding weight for him.
The Child's nose was running, and he looked a bit simple-minded.
"Mama, I'm hungry."
As soon as he said this, the Woman on his back unceremoniously tapped the back of his head.
"Idiot Son, hurry up and continue training! If you don't complete today's training goal, you won't get any food."
"It hurts, Mama, don't hit me."
Tears streamed from the Child's eyes, but his arms quickly began doing push-ups.
This was completely different from the Stussy in Ignis's impression.
Her body was fragile, just like an ordinary Woman.
Her personality and behavior were also completely different from how Ignis's Father and his Subordinate Scientists described Stussy.
Also, she wasn't pretty enough.
Perhaps due to her lack of strength, her body was difficult to maintain for a long time, and she looked somewhat faded, though one could vaguely see that she was a beauty in the past.
Her appearance was the same, but Ignis felt something was off.
Moreover, this guy, who was either Whitebeard's biological Son or a clone, was actually an idiot?
This was simply a joke.
What had to be admitted was that this Child naturally possessed terrifying physique.
Ignis was looking for the real Stussy.
And his intuition told him that the fragile Woman in front of him was not the Buckingham Stussy he was looking for.
He did not reveal himself but instead wandered around the Island.
He indeed discovered many anomalies.
He found some monitoring devices, which seemed specifically designed to monitor the actions of the two.
Perhaps due to being ostracized by the Island's Residents, the two lived by the mountainside, surviving by the Child hunting wild beasts for food.
Suddenly, Ignis thought of a nearby Island.
If all of this was set up by the real Stussy, then with limited resources, the monitoring devices she created definitely couldn't connect over too long a distance.
If the figure behind the scenes was truly monitoring the two in secret, they might be on a nearby Island.
As expected, upon arriving at another Island, Ignis discovered many more hidden surveillance devices.
In the mountain Jungle behind, he found a hidden small Secret Base.
However, though the sparrow was small, it was fully equipped.
No one noticed Ignis's approach.
Thinking of his objective, Ignis revealed his figure, appearing at the entrance of the Base.
Sensing the presence of an outsider, the interior of the Base immediately lit up with red light, and an alarm sounded.
Stussy, who was comfortably lying on a sofa with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and sat up.
Her gaze fell upon the monitoring screen, where a figure in a black robe had appeared out of nowhere in front of her gate.
Stussy's body broke out in a cold sweat.
One had to know that there were multiple layers of obstacles in front of the gate, including several perception devices, yet none had reacted before this.
"Won't you invite me in for a seat, Ms. Buckingham?"
"I hope you can forgive my rather abrupt visit this time."
Ignis chuckled softly.
The words of the unfamiliar visitor confirmed to Stussy that he was looking for her.
However, he didn't seem to have any malice.
Of course, since he could approach without anyone noticing, he could naturally also invade the Base without her detecting him.
His intentionally revealing his whereabouts was already giving her face.
It should be a deliberate show of goodwill.
Regardless, since he had come knocking, she couldn't escape.
"Then please come in."
Stussy calmed down and pressed the button to open the gate.
The gate, which looked like a Rock Wall on the surface, opened just like that.
Even being found directly like this, it was no wonder Stussy simply chose to give up resistance.
On the other side, in the dense Jungle.
A golden-haired young man sent a wild beast flying with a single punch.
Just as he was about to continue his attack, the ring-like special device on his wrist suddenly lit up red, causing his expression to change.
Although this was the first time this had happened, he knew that something had gone wrong at home.
Abandoning the prey before him, he turned around and quickly ran towards the Base.
Inside the Base, Ignis had already met Stussy face-to-face.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, Ms. Buckingham!"
Ignis bowed like a gentleman in greeting, taking off his black hat.
"I send greetings to you on behalf of Doctor Ian."
Stussy remained vigilant towards Ignis, even after seeing Ignis's true face.
Hearing that familiar name, Stussy was somewhat surprised.
"That guy Ian is still alive?"
After the MADA Research Institute was destroyed, she had never heard Doctor Ian's name again and had assumed he was dead.
As top Scientists in the same domain, Stussy and Doctor Ian were quite familiar with each other.
Since entering, Ignis had not made any special moves, which allowed Stussy to slightly relax, though she still did not lower her guard.
"Heh heh! Doctor Ian is currently working under me."
"I came here this time to invite you to join us."
Ignis directly stated his purpose.
