Chapter 38: Punk Hazard

Although Karl was slacking off throughout the battle, his support work was flawless.

Every hour, he had to renew the buff for everyone and pay attention to the battle situation at all times, because Kaido would erupt occasionally.

Then someone would be injured, and Karl had to go out in time to heal their injuries.

In short, except for Kizaru and Aokiji, the four Vice Admirals were basically seriously injured by Karl once.

Watching the Marines lock Kaido up tightly, Gion finally breathed a sigh of relief, no need to worry about this guy standing up again.

"Finally got this guy, I'm exhausted!"

Gion sat on the ground cross-legged without any demeanor, and her baby canteen rose and fell with her heavy breathing.

The other Vice Admirals were the same, sitting on the ground panting.

"Karl, where is the thing I asked you to bring?"

"Brought it! Here!"

Karl handed a large silver box to Kizaru, and Kizaru opened it in front of Karl without any avoidance, emitting a white cold air.

What came into view was a set of medical instruments, looking Move Move Like things used to draw blood. Karl gradually had some guesses in his heart.

Kizaru walked slowly to Kaido, who was sleeping soundly, and stretched out his right hand: "Ama no Murakumo."

Swish~

A wound was cut on Kaido's arm, and Ama no Murakumo dissipated. Only then did Kizaru pierce the needle into Kaido's body and start drawing blood.

"Admiral Kizaru, this is...."

"I'll tell you later."

After a while, Kizaru had drawn nearly three blood bags of Kaido's blood. This was negligible for Kaido, but more than enough for research.

"Alright, let's go to the meeting first! I'll explain it to you after we get on the ship."

Then the two walked into the conference room, hosted by Vice Admiral Tsuru, mainly to discuss how to deal with Jack and his good big brother.

Karl was not interested in the content of the meeting. Even if they were all sent to Impel Down, it was very likely that Kaido could overturn the prisoner transport ship halfway and take Jack to escape.

Moreover, he was just a small Marine Major, and everyone present was at least a Vice Admiral, so he had no right to speak at all.

After an hour, the meeting ended.

The follow-up treatment plan for Jack and Kaido had nothing to do with Kizaru, so it had nothing to do with Karl, so they just packed up their things and left.

After returning to the warship, Kizaru directly ordered the ship to be sailed to Punk Hazard. Karl had already guessed seven or eight out of ten.

The current Punk Hazard (Bank Forbidden Zone) was not an ice and fire island, but a research base under the strict guard of the World Government. Vegapunk had once researched the artificial Devil Fruit project here.

If there were no accidents, Vegapunk was also here now, but it was unknown whether it was a clone or the real person.

"Vegapunk is a research base, belonging to the Marine Science Unit. The projects currently being researched include artificial Devil Fruits and biological modification, etc."

"This time, one of our main purposes for capturing Kaido is to obtain his blood samples for Dr. Vegapunk to research."

Karl nodded pretentiously: "Vegapunk? Is that the 'man with the world's first brain'?"

"That's right, but he is currently conducting research in another place. What is presiding over the research at Punk Hazard is just his clone."

Karl's heart moved. Since it was a clone... maybe he had a chance to see this smartest man in the world.

"Admiral Kizaru, I'm quite interested in Vegapunk. I don't know if I have a chance to see him?"

Kizaru pursed his lips and chuckled: "If it were the real person, you definitely wouldn't be qualified, but as for the clone, with my face, it should be no problem."

Karl nodded with satisfaction, full of interest in the upcoming journey.

Mainly because he heard that Vegapunk had a technology that could allow "objects" to eat Devil Fruits, just Move Move Like Spandam's weapon that ate the Elephant-Elephant Fruit. It just so happened that Karl had an extra Devil Fruit in his hand.

Why not take advantage of the opportunity!

The G-2 branch was not far from Punk Hazard. Even if the speed was not fast, they arrived near evening.

"Don't walk around here, just wait for me and Karl to come back."

"Yes!"

"Karl, let's go!"

Just after boarding the island, a team of people rushed over. After seeing it was Kizaru, they quickly saluted.

"Admiral Kizaru, you are here! This is...."

Kizaru looked down at Karl and said with a smile: "This is Major Karl, my adjutant."

The captain nodded with a serious expression and said to Karl: "Sorry, Major Karl, according to the regulations, we need to search you, please understand."

Karl looked up at Kizaru, and Kizaru shrugged, indicating he couldn't help.

"Alright! I brought very few things..."

After confirming that Karl had no problems, the guards let him go, only temporarily detaining Karl's Den Den Mushi and some sundries.

"I didn't expect the guard here to be so tight. It seems the World Government attaches great importance to Vegapunk!"

Kizaru said slowly: "Just say this kind of thing in private, don't talk about it everywhere, otherwise the agents of the CP department are very difficult to deal with!"

"Hahaha, I'm not that stupid."

After arriving at the research institute, the scene inside was about the same as Karl expected.

Guards every five steps, busy researchers, death row prisoners with terrified eyes.... Karl looked at them one by one.

"Hey! Why haven't the death row prisoners I want been sent yet? What are you guys doing!"

A sharp shout attracted Karl's attention. A man wearing a white robe, long black hair, and long horns was shouting there.

After recognizing his appearance, a trace of disgust flashed in Karl's eyes, Caesar Clown, a beast.

"Yo, isn't this Admiral Kizaru? This, this is Kaido's blood sample, right! Shurororororo, it's really mouth-watering!"

Kizaru pursed his lips: "Dr. Caesar, long time no see! You are as dedicated as ever!"

Caesar revealed a smile, seemingly very useful for Kizaru's praise.

"Where, where, Admiral Kizaru is more dedicated! That is the blood sample of an overlord of the sea! I think Admiral Kizaru must have gone through many difficulties to get it!"

Kizaru didn't intend to chat with Caesar, exchanged a few pleasantries, and wanted to take Karl away.

"It was indeed a bit troublesome. Sorry, I have to hand this thing to Dr. Vegapunk, so I won't chat with you anymore. Let's go, Karl!"

Just as the two's backs were about to disappear, Caesar reluctantly moved his gaze away from the silver briefcase in Kizaru's hand, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"Damn Vegapunk, if you hand over Kaido's blood sample to me, I can create artificial Devil Fruits in minutes!" ===== CHAPTER 65 =====
