"Let go of the main body quickly!"

"Klee! Let go quickly!"

Vegapunk clones and Sherwin also chimed in and clamored.

In fact, there was no need for Sherwin and the others to stop her. After tugging twice, Klee Meow had already realized something was wrong, so even if everyone didn’t shout, she would have let go of her paws.

"Brother Sherwin..."

(==)

After releasing her paws, the little Ragdoll smiled apologetically and stuck out her tongue at Sherwin, "Did Klee cause trouble again meow?"

"Um... it fine, didn’t he survive anyway?"

Sherwin only hesitated for less than half a second before reaching out to pinch Klee Meow little cheek, making excuses for her.

"You really wanted to kill me, didn’t you?!"

Vegapunk jumped up from the ground, pressing down on the half-apple on his head with a lingering look of fear, and roared at Sherwin.

"Cough cough... how could that be?"

Sherwin cleared his throat and said with a serious face, "I haven’t even obtained the technologies you invented after leaving Punk Hazard yet."

Vegapunk: "..."

"Who says we’re going to hand the technology over to you!"

Lilith, a clone representing "evil" who looked like a short-haired beauty, shouted while raising her foot to kick Sherwin...

Then, she was jointly stopped by Pythagoras, the large robot representing "wisdom," and Shaka, who wore a helmet and represented "good."

"Stop quickly! Lilith! We are no match for him! You can’t even beat the little cats by his side!"

Pythagoras said words that caused Lilith anger level to continue rising, but they also successfully made her calm down.

No matter how nasty her personality or how bad her temper, she was still Vegapunk, so naturally she wouldn’t do something as foolish as throwing away her life.

"Old grandpa, why can’t that apple hat of yours be taken off meow? Is it sewn into your head meow?"

Just as Lilith quieted down and the atmosphere was gradually starting to get awkward, Klee Meow ran up to Vegapunk again, tugged at his lab coat, and asked curiously.

"This is not a hat at all!"

Vegapunk explained very angrily, "This is an antenna! An antenna!"

He pointed to the half "apple" on his head, and after losing his temper, he quickly calmed down again. "However, what you said isn’t entirely wrong either. It was indeed ewn’ in—more precisely, installed inside my head."

"Are you an idiot, old grandpa meow?"

The little ragdoll cat blinked her eyes, her big eyes full of innocence as she looked at Vegapunk.

"I am the world-famous genius scientist!"

Vegapunk, who was always accustomed to calling himself a "worthless genius scientist," couldn’t help but want to vindicate himself under Klee Meow innocent gaze and inquiry.

"Actually, I ate the Paramecia Brain-Brain Fruit and am a ’Brain Human’. I can memorize all knowledge without limit. The more data there is in my brain, the bigger my head swells.

Before this, my height was actually close to that of the Giant Race, and most of it was my head... And this ’apple’ is an antenna used to sense Punk Records."

Vegapunk explained in detail to Sherwin and the Felynes about himself, as well as the situation of Punk Records where they were currently located.

"A super huge head! That sounds so interesting meow! It such a pity you cut it off!"

Klee Meow, who didn’t get to see the super huge head, pouted her mouth in disappointment.

Meanwhile, Sherwin had a whole stomach full of complaints that he desperately wanted to vent.

He only remembered Vegapunk head being huge, but... a height close to a Giant was just too exaggerated, wasn’t it?

Even without considering the center of gravity, with the main body of Vegapunk having such thin arms and legs, how on earth did he manage to move around without any obstacles before cutting off his head?

It couldn’t be that Vegapunk true strength was that of a powerhouse capable of lifting a Giant, right?

He was clearly the most genius scientist in the pirate world, yet his very existence was something that completely defied science...

Sherwin put a massive amount of effort into barely holding back, preventing himself from pouring out a whole bellyful of complaints.

On the other side, Haibara Meow also furrowed her brow, speaking with a face full of disgust, "Sharing a single brain with other people? I absolutely do not want that, meow!"

(ω)

Purah Meow, however, held a different opinion, "Being able to easily look up all knowledge seems pretty good, meow~ And if we also had access to Punk Records, whenever they get any new technology in the future, wouldn’t we be able to know it immediately, meow? Check-it~"

(ゝω)~☆

The little Ragdoll also nodded her head along, "Klee also wants to know all the stories inside big brother Sherwin head, meow!"

(=ω=)

"But the brain is not a simple library. Besides knowledge, it also carries everyone thoughts. If they get mixed together, it could easily lead to major problems, meow."

(=ˇˇ=)

Huamei Meow analyzed in a serious and proper manner.

"Huamei is right. Vegapunk idea is too idealized."

Having witnessed the chaotic internet environment back on Earth, Sherwin nodded in agreement. And that was even with regulation, and in a state less convenient than Vegapunk brain network.

Vegapunk was jumping straight into an upgraded version of the internet right off the bat. If he actually pulled it off, this world would probably ruin itself before the Celestial Dragons even needed to make a move.

"If we worry about those things, science will never be able to move forward!"

Vegapunk obviously has considered this problem, but scientists, especially genius scientists, are always a bit crazy. Maybe he has confidence in his own wisdom and thinks he can control the development of the situation.

To this, Sherwin just curled his lip in disdain. "Can the Celestial Dragons also connect to this plan of yours? What if their disgusting thoughts contaminate the entire Punk Records?"

"What meow?! We have to share a brain with those bad Celestial Dragons? Then Klee Meow doesn’t want it meow!"

( ω ≡ ω )

The little Ragdoll cat instantly shook her head like a cat drill.

However, Vegapunk has also considered this problem. He said confidently, "Don’t worry, with the personality of the Celestial Dragons, they even have to specially prepare the air they breathe, so they simply disdain to use the same brain as ’untouchable."

"But you are still subordinate to the World Government right now. Even if no Celestial Dragons join, what if they make you mix some other things into the Punk Records to influence others so that they must obey the orders of the World Government? How can you guarantee that this Punk Records won’t be used by people with ulterior motives?"

Sherwin once again brought up a possibility. Not to mention on Earth, even here in One Piece, the World Government has often manipulated public opinion and promoted some policy to fool the people.

"Even..."

Seeing Vegapunk fall into deep thought, Sherwin glanced again at his six clones, each with a different form and personality, and reminded him,

"Although these clones of yours are also Vegapunk, you also said that they each possess an independent personality. So one day in the future, it not impossible that one or a few of them might want to replace you, the main body."

Although the manga content Sherwin saw had not yet revealed the specific culprit, the fact that a traitor would appear among Vegapunk clones was basically certain.

"This kind of thing is impossible~"

However, regarding Sherwin reminder, Vegapunk waved his hand with a look of indifference. "As for the other problem you mentioned, it is indeed worth being vigilant about. Anyway, Punk Records is currently only being used by me and my clones, so it can be slowly improved."

Obviously, Vegapunk still does not intend to give up his "Punk Network" plan.

Sherwin actually understands this point. Compared to the problems that might appear, the benefits of the "Internet" are obvious. It is estimated that very few people would choose to give up developing the "Internet" just because of some uncertain risks.

If Sherwin really had to make the decision, he would also continue to push it forward, but with his experience on Earth, he would control user permissions much more strictly...

And by the way, stuff some private goods inside to propagate the doctrine of the Holy Flame Cat Cult to everyone.
