32.2 Engineer and Scientist



At the end of the deck both of them stopped right in front of a huge shaft made out of metal rotating slowly in the middle of the deck, the shaft was connected from the gearbox to the propeller behind the ship. 

"Well, thanks to your invention of new metal Vegium last year. We are able to make this shaft and propeller Doctor." Kimimaro pointed towards the huge shaft while Vegapunk obeserve.

Dr.Vegapunk was flattered when Kimimaro complimented him about his invention. 

"Is that so? But, Vegium is a very hard metal despite its lightness, it need a large furnace to forge it. How can you achieved that?" 

Kimimaro whispered, "Only for you, the other still don't know about this, but, Enel can forge any metal Doctor, most of our metal you found in this ship were forged and shaped by him." 

"Wonderful! I can see that electricity could become major force in scientific world in the future! Maybe we can also give mankind free energy from it? Ah! And don't worry, i won't tell a soul if you think that Enel's ability need to be kept secret." Vegapunk exclaimed as he furiously writting something on his thick book.

"Thank you Doctor, as for free electrical energy, I see why not?" 

Vegapunk saw Kimimaro warm expression, he couldn't remembered the last time he met with someone with brilliant mind as him, that too coming from the young Marine who seemingly sincere in his journey for science.

"Say Kimimaro, do you have any thought to work with me? We can advance this new subject together!" All of sudden Vegapunk sent Kimimaro an invitation. 

The latter was shocked and flattered by Vegapunk heartfell invitation, Vegapunk used the word "with" instead of "for" giving Kimimaro a place right besides him in scientific world, however, 

"That would be an honor Doctor, but you see, i think science is not my goal, it is only a means to help me complete my final goal. So unfortunately..." Kimimaro dragged his last word as he gave Vegapunk apologetic smile. 

Vegapunk sighed slightly in regret, however he soon recovered and asked once more, "Then, Let's exchange our ideas from now on! Dr.Kimimaro!" 

Hearing an unexpected calling from the famous Doctor, Kimimaro couldn't help but laughed out loud. 

"Sure, it will be wonderfull, Dr.Vegapunk."
