One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Soros and Vegapunk



"Lazili, don't stay in the lab all day. Go out for a walk occasionally. You haven't been with me for a long time!"

Seeing Lazili in a white robe, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Since Lazili became a researcher, she has become a homebody. Not a very homebody, but a very special homebody.

Now Li Yuan really wants to learn from Lazlido and Caesar and walk out of the laboratory to laze around when he has nothing to do, instead of becoming an experiment maniac like Yumaz.

"Husband, I understand. After this experiment, I will take a good rest for a few months. Is that okay?"

Seeing her husband say this, Lazili had no choice but to give up her experiment. After all, she hadn't had a rest for a long time.

"Soros, I have already told you this before, but now is the time to tell you again."

"I will exchange your soul with that of Vegapon, and then you will be in Vegapon's body."

"And your body will be inhabited by the soul of Vega Punk. Of course, we will put Vega Punk into a dormant state like before, and then preserve your body. If you want to return your body in the future, it will be no problem!"

"After the experiment is completed, you will have to live in Vegapunk's body for a long time." "Now, I ask you, are you willing?"

Li Yuan looked at Soros seriously and asked.

"Captain, my answer is the same as before: I do!"

"For the Captain, for science, it's just a body!"

"What's more, after changing my body, I can also get the most powerful brain in the world. No matter how I think about it, it's a win!"

Soros said seriously.

He was an orphan since childhood. It was Li Yuan who picked him up and taught him, allowing him to become the scientist he had always dreamed of.

So, a long time ago, he had sworn in his heart that when he had learned enough, he would repay the Wuji Pirates and Li Yuan.

Now that Li Yuan had made a request, how could he possibly refuse!

Moreover, he had no other relatives, so he would not have any concerns even if he changed his body.

"Very good, I was right about you. Once you possess Vegapon's body, you will become the most powerful scientist in the world!"

Li Yuan patted Soros on the shoulder and said with relief.

His Observation Haki was always on, so he naturally knew that Soros was very loyal to him, which was the real reason why Li Yuan chose Soros.

What he values most is loyalty. Li Yuan is absolutely unwilling to trust or employ a disloyal person.

Begapon, who had hated him before, was a good example. Since he could not use him for his own purposes, Li Yuan would never allow him to continue living and threatening him.

Then Thoros walked to a new nutrient cellar and lay down, closing his eyes, ready to perform a mind exchange at any time.

"Yadina, it's time to start!"

Li Yuan nodded to Yadina.

"Mind Exchange!"

Yadina stretched out her hands, grabbed the bodies of Thoros and Vegapunk in the air, and then exchanged them, completing it quickly.

"alright!"

Yadina laughed.

"Sister Yadina, is this all right?"

Lazili asked curiously.

"Well, it doesn't have to be too complicated. Both of us have little resistance, so it's easy to succeed in exchanging!"

Yadina said.

"Soros, you can open your eyes now!"

Li Yuan said to the body that was originally Vegapunk.

"Captain, is that all?"

Vegapunk's body opened its eyes and asked curiously.

"alright!"

Li Yuan used his Observation Haki to confirm that the person living inside Vegapunk's body now was Soros, not Vegapunk.

(Note: To make it easier to distinguish, the Thoros who lives in Bergapunk's body is still called Thoros.)

"Tholos, you haven't exercised for several years. You are very weak. I will have someone take good care of you. You will be fully recovered in about seven days."

Lazili said.

She was fully aware of the shortcomings of this nutrition barn.

"I see!"

Soros replied.

"By the way, Thoros, how do you feel now? I mean, how does it feel to have a body like Vegapon compared to your previous body?"

Li Yuan asked curiously. He just wanted to know whether the power of the Nao Nao Fruit was inherited by Soros.

"Captain, I feel like I'm much smarter now than before. I can now quickly figure out some of the experimental difficulties that I couldn't understand before!"

Soros replied.

"Very good, take good care of yourself. When you recover, I will give you a huge laboratory all your own."

After hearing what Thoros said, Li Yuan felt relieved. With the power of the Brain Fruit, Thoros' future achievements might not be worse than that of Vegapunk in the original book.

Maybe with Li Yuan's support, he could be even better than Vegapunk in the original novel.

"Don't worry, Captain. I will recover as soon as possible and go back to work in the laboratory as soon as possible!"

Soros was very excited when he heard Li Yuan say that he wanted to build a laboratory of his

own.

You know, in the Promise Pirates, having a laboratory of your own is something many scientists dream of.

"My dear, this is great. The thing you have been dreaming about is finally done!"

After Thoros left, Lazili said happily.

She knew how much her husband valued Vegapunk, or rather, how much he valued the Brain Fruit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done so many things specifically and spent so much time

planning this devil fruit.

"We agreed. Now you have to come back with me. You are not allowed to stay in the lab all the

time!"

Li Yuan held Lazili's hand and said.

"Husband, didn't I say before that I would wait until I finished the experiment I was doing

before going back?"

As if she knew that Li Yuan wanted to take her away right now, La Zili immediately acted

pitifully and coquettishly.

"No, we have to leave today. No, we have to leave now!"

Although Lazili's coquettish and cute behavior softened Li Yuan's heart, on the surface, Li

Yuan maintained a tough attitude.

Without even giving Lazili a chance to speak, he bent down and half squatted, then picked her

up in a princess hug.

"Xia Qi, open the mirror world and let's go home!"

In order to get home quickly, Li Yuan went directly through the close-up passage of the

mirror world.

"Sister Lazili, your husband has been missing you very much these days, otherwise he

wouldn't be so anxious."

Xia Qi teased from the side.

Hearing Xia Qi say this, Lazli's cheeks immediately turned red, and she shyly hid her head in

Li Yuan's arms, not daring to show it out.

Batlila Island, South China Sea:

"Roger, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"

"Can you really bear to leave us alone?"

Portgas D. Luju looked at the newspaper in his hand and tears fell uncontrollably.

She and Roger were so in love before, but she didn't expect Roger to suddenly disappear from

her world. Until now, if she hadn't received this newspaper, she probably wouldn't know that

Roger was dead!

"Husband, this is the island. You asked me to check Roger's whereabouts before, and I found that Roger stayed on this island for a long time."

At the same time, Xia Qi and Li Yuan had arrived at this remote island.

The people from Luowang had never monitored or contacted Roger and the people around him before. They only knew that Roger stayed here for a long time.

Li Yuan came here to see if Roger was the same as in the original book, leaving his wife and children alone on the island without making any arrangements for their escape. After all, in the original work, Roger handed his wife and child over to Garp, the unreliable navy. In order to avoid the search of the navy and the World Government, the final director Chi Luju used some means to keep the child in her belly for 20 months.

In the end, although she managed to avoid the search and wait for Garp's arrival, Luju paid the

price with her life.

In Li Yuan's opinion, Roger's irresponsible character beneath his free and easy attitude is

really disgusting.

With Roger's own strength, status, and connections, it is completely possible for him to let

his wife live safely.

Even if he asked his crew members to take care of his wife in advance, it would be better than leaving his wife here alone and letting Garp, a navy, take care of her!

Anyway, from Li Yuan's perspective, he could never agree with Roger's irresponsible

behavior.

Li Yuan admired Lu Jiu very much, so he wanted to see if Lu Jiu was really on this island now. If

so, he would take Lu Jiu to live in the Wuji Sea.

"Let's go and ask if there is a woman named Lu Jiu here."

Li Yuan said.

The island was not big and the village was also small. They quickly found out where Lu Jiu

lived and went there.

"Who are you?"

Lu Jiu looked at Li Yuan and Xia Qi standing at the door of her house and asked vigilantly.

"My name is Li Yuan, I'm the captain of the Wuji Pirates, and I'm a friend of Roger. The babyn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

you're carrying should be Roger's child."

Li Yuan looked at Lu Jiu, whose belly was slightly bulging but not noticeable, and asked

directly.

"Li Yuan, the captain of the Wuji Pirate Group?"

Lu Jiu had heard of the name Li Yuan, a famous pirate who was as famous as Roger. At first she

didn't know Li Yuan, but when she looked at Li Yuan carefully, she found that his face was

exactly the same as the Li Yuan she saw in the newspaper.

"No, I don't know any Roger."

Although she recognized Li Yuan, Lu Jiu did not admit the affair with Luo Jie. After all, she didn't know whether Luo Jie and Li Yuan were real friends.
