Tilting his head, Queen looked at the beautiful girl with a look of infatuation, completely forgetting the fright he had just received.
"So beautiful! Miss! Please give me a chance to pursue you!"
A few black lines appeared on Vegapunk's forehead. This guy was still as unreliable as before.
Kozuki Hiyori's face was cold: "No! Get lost! Fat pig!"
After the triple rejection, the infatuated Queen clutched his chest, looking like he was about to turn gray.
"I'm not fat, I'm just keeping myself plump so I don't become too popular..."
By then, Vegapunk had already bypassed Queen and reached Tama, who was rolling her eyes and spitting black blood.
"You fellow, is this all you've researched after all these years?"
"Who are you, kid! How dare you criticize this Great Me's inventions!"
The previously dejected Queen now spoke up with dissatisfaction, only to see Vegapunk reach out and grab a test tube of blue liquid from the air.
"This should be the specific antidote! The lethal effect is slow, and the transmission route only relies on biting. Most importantly, the detoxification logic still follows your Ice Oni agent. It's too easy to remove the toxin!"
"The only merit is that even after detoxification, it's prone to causing permanent damage... However, repairing it is also very easy. I really can't figure out why you created such an agent."
As he spoke, Vegapunk didn't inject the agent directly into Tama's body. He simply opened the stopper of the blue agent and held it under Tama's nose for her to smell.
In an instant, the grayish-white death spots on Tama's body stopped spreading, then immediately began to transform into healthy, ruddy skin. In just a few seconds, the little girl, who had been rolling her eyes with a weak breath, was completely restored to health.
"How is this possible?!! You, you, you, who exactly are you?"
Queen had just thought Vegapunk's criticism sounded familiar, and then he saw Vegapunk easily cure Tama, even making the so-called sequelae completely disappear.
Seeing this, Queen's eyes bulged out like a toad's for several centimeters. His jaw dropped to his feet!
Queen wasn't actually that surprised that the virus could be cured. Although his virus seemed powerful, the medical skills in the One Piece World were also quite abnormal. In other worlds, they would be considered black technology; curing it wasn't a problem.
Even the more abnormal Ice Oni virus was solved by a certain 100-Berry emergency food supply in ten minutes by creating an anti-toxin serum. If the opponent already had knowledge in this area, it was normal to create a universal anti-toxin serum.
However, the opponent hadn't just created an anti-toxin serum; they had also healed all the physical damage caused by the virus!
To be precise, the virus's nutrients were decomposed and replenished into the flesh, allowing the injured body to fully recover. This level was almost beyond Queen's imagination!
Coupled with Vegapunk's initial blunt words, Queen suddenly had a bad feeling. The silhouette of the Blond Youth before him seemed to overlap with a certain big-headed scientific genius.
"No, no, no, how could it be? That guy Vegapunk is uglier than me. Turning into a handsome Blond Youth or something is absolutely impossible!"
Queen shook his head while muttering to himself, unaware that Kozuki Hiyori, who had been standing next to him with a look of indignation and disgust, had a drastic change in expression upon hearing his mutterings, turning to schadenfreude and even a hint of pity.
Vegapunk wasn't exactly a generous person... or rather, he was fine in other areas, but regarding his appearance, he was very sensitive due to past psychological trauma.
If one truly annoyed Vegapunk, his methods of tormenting people were far more terrifying than Queen's biochemical viruses!
Sure enough, Vegapunk's face didn't seem to change, and his smile even became more brilliant, but the chilling sensation made many people present get goosebumps.
"Queen, you bastard, you're still as unlikable as ever! Back then, you stole my research and ran away with those two idiots Judge and Caesar. Considering you three were my assistants for so many years, I spared you. Now you actually have the nerve to criticize my former looks!"
"Ve-Ve-Ve... Vegapunk!! It really is you!! You... you really didn't die!"
This time, Queen was so terrified that his eyes popped out again, and his soul was scared right out of him!!
As a transmigrator, Vegapunk wasn't like the naive, upright scientist in the original work who didn't even want to research weapons.
On the contrary, as an ambitious mad scientist, Vegapunk had completely suppressed his three assistants in both wisdom and methods, even making them feel a sense of despair toward him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have run away.
Although it was also because Vegapunk used them directly for experiments, wanting to brainwash them into tools, otherwise those three wouldn't have dared to make the decision to flee... but after suffering such a loss, they only dared to run and didn't dare to resist directly, which showed their fear of Vegapunk!
Snapping out of it, Queen didn't say another word and simply waved his hand.
"How dare you come to the prison to rescue prisoners! Boys, hurry up and catch them!"
While saying this, Queen himself was backing away step by step. Having long understood Vegapunk's mode of operation, Queen knew very well that since he had come face to face with Vegapunk, it was almost checkmate.
Should he change bosses? Boss Kaido vs. Vegapunk... he felt a bit uncertain! Although in a fight, Boss Kaido could kill a big-headed doll in one punch, if Vegapunk was prepared, even Boss Kaido wouldn't be able to hold out!
Queen groaned inwardly. Not to mention anything else, just eight years ago when the Marine besieged Vegapunk, an Admiral died. That alone was enough to know that Vegapunk definitely had technological weapons capable of killing Four Emperors or Admiral-level figures.
Now that another eight years had passed, God knows what kind of progress his technological level had made. He really didn't favor the Beasts Pirates' chances of winning.
However, the ordinary grunts of the Beasts Pirates didn't know this. Hearing Queen's words, they immediately rushed forward without a word. Vegapunk rolled his eyes and patted Kozuki Hiyori's shoulder.
"I'll leave it to you!"
