Alivalen is an ordinary person in this capital, who earns money by working in a tavern every day, and dreams that one day he can open a tavern by himself.
After going home today, he fell asleep quickly because of fatigue, but when he slept in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a strange sound from the upper floor.
As soon as he heard this sound, Alivaren knew it was the one upstairs.
The newlyweds were doing happy things, and he couldn't help but mumble, "Here it is again, but fortunately it used to be over in three or four minutes before, is it the same today? It's really annoying."
After speaking, Alivalen turned over and planned to continue sleeping.
Falling asleep, the sound upstairs was not over yet, but the ground suddenly vibrated.
Immediately afterwards.
With a 'boom', the wall broke.
Alivalen sat up abruptly from the bed, looked at the broken wall dumbly, and then showed a look of horror on his face.
He saw a dense swarm of ants swarming past his bed, and everything including the walls was swallowed up and turned into nothingness.
This building disappeared almost instantly.
Alivalen's pupils shrunk, and he sat on the bed with fear. He was so frightened that he could only watch the group of ants pass by his bed, and the original house disappeared.
But the next moment.
"What!!"
The scream sounded.
Alivalen returned to his senses and looked up, only to see the two bare figures falling from above.
One of them fell into Alivalen's arms, and the other fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
Looking down at the bare figure that fell into his arms, Alivalen was surprised.
This is the newlyweds in the family upstairs.
They seemed to be doing business just now, but the group of ants swarmed past. The whole building was gone, the ceiling was swallowed, and the newlyweds upstairs also fell down.
But it was not the wife of the newlyweds who fell into Alivalen's arms, but... the husband.
At this moment, the husband's naked body was lying in Alivalen's arms, with a look of shock...
...
"Ants, so many ants!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
In this city, panic sounds spread everywhere.
The defenders who originally guarded the place where Vegapunk lived were disturbed, and soon afterwards they began to be called to leave, leaving only more than a dozen defenders to continue to wait here.
"Almost."
After Mio murmured, he looked at Warwick and Erica and said, "Warwick, go and get rid of those people, and then wait outside for me to come out, and kill them as soon as they come."
"Warwick knows." Warwick nodded, and then his figure disappeared.
In front of the ten National Guardians, Warwick's figure appeared within a few breaths, and then he saw Warwick's sharp claws accompanied by the cold light begin to harvest lives.
Before the screams could be heard, all ten defenders died in Warwick's hands.
At this time, Mio and Erica did not hesitate, and quickly moved towards the residence in front of them.
It is called a residence, in fact, it can be regarded as a huge castle, covering a wide area.
The Guardian Army inside had left long ago, and only a few servants were left, because these people had been trembling with fear because of the shouts outside.
As Mio and Erica walked into the castle, they were quickly discovered by these maids, but they suddenly showed fear in their eyes, thinking that the panic outside was caused by the person in front of them. Voice.
"Where is Vegapunk?" Mio said in a low voice.
The maids lowered their heads, their bodies trembling without making a sound.
Mio drew the sword from his waist, cut out with a sword, and released a burst of sword aura, and cut a hole in the wall.
"Where is Vegapunk?" Mio asked again.
A servant in a maid dress tremblingly raised his hand, and pointed in a direction in fear, "In, in the basement."
Hearing that, Mio didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly over there, and Erica followed closely behind.
Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the basement, which was closed by an iron door, but it could still be opened.
After opening the iron gate, the two entered it.
Down a staircase, the light is dim, only a few candles illuminate it.
Going down the stairs, they quickly reached the bottom. Various instruments came into their sight. At the same time, two figures appeared in Mio's sight.
One of them has long golden hair and a strong figure.
The other has short black hair and a slender figure.
"Vinsmoke Judge?" Looking at the figure with long blonde hair, Mio frowned, and was surprised that this man was indeed Sanji's father, the eldest of the Vinsmoke family, and the king of Germa Kingdom.
Mio was curious in his heart. He didn't expect Judge to be here, but soon he set his sights on the person next to Judge.
Taking a deep breath, his expression gradually calmed down, but he was also curious.
This person is Vegapunk, right?
Vegapunk is not outstanding in appearance, and can even be described as ordinary, but at this time Vegapunk is wearing a pair of glasses, and seems to have a somewhat refined temperament.
Hearing the movement, both of them looked towards Mio.
The strange faces made both of them a little surprised, and Judge frowned directly, "Who are you? Who allowed you to come down without permission? Get out."
Boom!
As soon as the sound fell, a terrifying silver slash burst out suddenly, passing by Judge, and blasting on the wall behind Judge. The powerful slash smashed the wall into a crack.
Erica's voice was cold and angry, "You are not allowed to be unreasonable to the master."
"Guru..."
Turning his eyes to the wall behind him, Judge swallowed his saliva, his lips quivered and he looked a bit angry and a little frightened, and he hesitated for a while.
"The two guests came here, are they looking for me?" At the same time, beside Judge, Vegapunk slowly asked, but his tone was sure.
"That's right." Mio nodded, his gaze has been on Vegapunk's body since he glanced at Judge from the beginning.
"So it seems that this gentleman is looking for something important to me, otherwise he won't come over at this time."
Vegapunk smiled back, then looked at Judge, his expression calmed down, and said slowly, "You should leave Judge. As for the things you and I said before, I'm sorry I am not interested.
It is... too boring.
I have no interest in research."
"You...huh."
Upon hearing this, Judge's eyes showed anger. "Vegapunk, don't you understand? It's undeniable that the lineage factor is indeed powerful and you have made some progress, but even you, with your ability in this area, it will take at least ten years to thoroughly study the lineage factor.
Now you don't have so much time.
What I just said I hope you can think about it and give me an answer.
As long as you want, the Germa Kingdom will provide you with the greatest financial resources to help you with your research."
After speaking, Judge turned around and left.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Mio and Erica who was wearing a cloak to cover her appearance, then stepped up the stairs, and the figure quickly disappeared in the basement...
