"Luke successfully infiltrated the Navy and, like Vegapunk, was initially not trusted by the Navy or the World Government. However, Luke soon produced results: a humanoid low-altitude flying robot made entirely of steel.
"Aerial Combat Machine Ex!"
This was the name given by the Navy, and also the name from the DNF game. A combat robot, so to speak, it was like the strength of the first stage of the future "Pacifista," comparable to the Pacifista from two years ago in the anime!
It could fire high-speed machine gun bursts and micro-missile shots, more than enough to deal with pirates with bounties just over 100 million!
This thing was just something Luke threw together casually. The production cost was relatively high, and it was difficult to mass-produce. Frankly, it was just something Luke made to appease the Navy and the Government.
Of course, to Luke, this kind of robot was utter garbage. However, the Government was already amazed by Luke's talent.
So, Luke quickly gained the Government's trust and began to receive strong support for his research.
Luke also proposed his future development plan—the Silent City Construction Plan: to build Silent City on a dedicated target island for researching more advanced combat machines!
The Government did agree to Luke's request, but it was unknown when this plan would actually be implemented.
And once this plan was implemented, it would also be the time for Grimm to start developing his own forces in this world.
In the six months after acquiring Luke, Grimm also gained a more convenient system function—the chat function. No matter where they were, Grimm and his subordinates could contact each other at any time.
After confirming they had reached the waters of Byrnblus Island, Grimm contacted Luke again.
"Grandpa, have you finished investigating Vegapunk's situation? How much longer until the Sea Prism Stone bullets are ready?"
Luke said helplessly: "Young Master, I've told you many times, Vegapunk and I are not in the same department. He's in the Navy's Scientific Research Department, and I'm in the Navy's Weapon Science Research Department!"
"Is there a difference?" Grimm was a bit confused. Did adding the word "weapon" make it different?
"Don't worry about that, Young Master. Anyway, it's not easy for me to contact him. He hasn't produced any decent research yet, so he hasn't gained the Government's full trust…" Luke explained.
Grimm reluctantly closed the chat window. So be it. He would find time to infiltrate Marine Headquarters again!
During this period, the title "Eternal Angel" became increasingly renowned in the New World, becoming a nightmare for countless people. Both pirates and Marines dared not provoke him lightly.
Boom!
Just then, huge whirlpools began to appear on the sea surface. These whirlpools were several times larger than Grimm's steel ship. Grimm and his companions were already accustomed to it.
If it were the Grand Line, the weather would return to normal when approaching an island, but the New World was completely different. The weather here was so bizarre that it was completely unpredictable.
Even standing on an island, one could be struck by lightning at any moment.
However, Grimm sensed that these disturbances were not caused by the weather.
"We finally made it here, don't hinder me!"
Grimm roared, and at the same time, ordered Plank to control the ship. They were forcing their way through the giant whirlpools. If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely be too shocked to speak. A ship that could ignore such whirlpools and force its way through?
"Ah-ooh!"
Suddenly, a towering wave broke through the whirlpool and blocked Grimm's path. It turned out to be a Sea King in the form of a water lizard, as tall as a skyscraper.
If this were the first half of the Grand Line, one would definitely think this was a Sea King dominating the waters. But in the New World, the types of Sea Kings were varied, and many lived in groups. This one before Grimm, almost reaching the clouds, might have a large group of them at the bottom of the sea.
Looking at the water lizard's ice-blue eyes clearly filled with anger as it glared at Grimm's steel ship, Jiana spoke first: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lizard, but we must go to the island ahead!"
Awoo!
Sensing the cold aura emanating from Jiana, the water lizard roared. Its unbelievably large body began to attack.
However, just as the water lizard's giant claws were about to touch the ship, Jiana rubbed her hands together in front of her chest, and ice crystals rapidly condensed. Then, with a swish, a half-human-sized ice blade shot out at high speed.
The water lizard didn't even have time to scream before its head flew off.
"Not bad, Jiana, your abilities have improved again!" Grimm said, clapping his hands as he approached from behind.
System prompt: Jiana Experience Points: 95%!
This meant that with just 5% more experience points, she could directly advance to "Jiana, the Sky-Reacher of the Battle of Dasaro." The thought alone made him excited.
As for Plank, his strength calculation was completely different from Grimm's. He might be from a different world, so his strength level became: Level 10, max level 18!
As for Plank's current strength, if one had to be precise, it was close to Doflamingo's strength in Dressrosa in later years. He hadn't reached Admiral level yet, but he could definitely give an Admiral a decent fight. He was thick-skinned, and with the divine skill of eating oranges, you could try to kill him if you dared.
After dealing with the oblivious Sea King, the three quickly landed on the island.
"This is Byrnblus? A place like this… is actually Vegapunk's former secret experimental base?"
Grimm landed on Byrnblus Island, which appeared to be completely covered by a primeval forest. Grimm had initially thought it was a town, but it seemed his prediction was wrong.
Roar!
After parking the ship by the shore, Plank and Jiana guarded the ship while Grimm ventured into the island alone. As soon as he entered the forest ahead, he heard roars. Immediately, a pair of blood-red eyes emerged from the forest.
It was a saber-toothed tiger, and it was much larger than an ordinary saber-toothed tiger.
First a water lizard, and now a saber-toothed tiger. Had he landed in a zoo?
This thought flashed through Grimm's mind, and he immediately condensed a holy spear in his hand.
...
Compared to the "Paradise," the New World, even with the World Government's organization, did not have as fast an information transmission speed as the "Paradise."
Generally speaking, capturing pirates relied on immediately dispatching fleets for annihilation battles. Because most pirates in the New World had their own territories, finding them was not a troublesome matter.
However, among the pirates who had their own territories in the New World, there were rare individuals who didn't conform.
They were strong, strong enough to stand at the pinnacle of this world, but they had no interest in territorial matters and preferred to wander.
One of them was Red, the Lone Wolf, who had narrowly lost after fighting Golden Lion. Another was Roger, who had no interest in ruling and was solely focused on finding the legendary land.
Of course, compared to the above two, there was an even more peculiar one: Kaido, the captain of the Beasts Pirates, who had his own territory yet still roamed around aimlessly, thinking about how to commit suicide every day.
Kaido, the current captain of the Beasts Pirates, although not yet at the height of the previous two, had forcefully entered everyone's view.
Bounty: 1,200,000,000 Beli, Kaido of the Beasts.
