The Great Voyage is a winter island, Balkimoa, known as the country of the future on the island of Organ, located in a harsh climate with steel jungles, this island is the home of Vegapunk and the address where Frankie was shot away by a bear.

Once York had settled on her location, her nearby hometown became her destination.

This is where Vegapunk's research materials from her youth are kept, and a large amount of literature has been sealed in the laboratory, and the laboratory has a well-developed system, so that if she returns here, she can repair her body in a short time.

Although this body that is assembled from parts can be used, her physical function is so poor that she can't even taste the taste of food.

But when she made it here, she was stunned by what she saw.

"No, did the woman attack this place too? There's really nothing left."

These clones shared the memories of Vegapunk, which York's perception was supposed to be a huge laboratory, but what appeared in front of her was a very dilapidated laboratory.

A large area had become dilapidated, and even the gates had been temporarily boarded up.

It looks like there was a big explosion here, causing the lab to be blown up from the inside.

"It's like the effect of the self-detonation device that was left behind. What the hell is going on here? ”

She remembered that Vegapunk had left a powerful self-detonation device here to deter some ill-intentioned people, and that the situation here was no longer comparable to that of Egghead, and it seemed that there had been serious incidents here during her absence.

"The Navy only said that something happened here, and it didn't say anything so big."

At this moment, the navy patrolling in the distance seemed to spot York, and after seeing the broken mechanical body, they didn't say anything, and immediately launched a fire cover on her.

"The intruder is back! Get him! ”

"The institute has already exploded, don't worry about anything anymore, fire with all your might!"

York, which had just landed, directly ushered in a naval attack, and the root of all this has to be traced back to the original Frankie.

Before receiving the news that Hero suggested that Luffy conduct an exclusive interview, Frankie was bent on finding a ship to leave here, but the climate in Balkimoa was very special, and the severe cold made the sea full of ice floes, making it impossible for ordinary ships to pass.

Only professional icebreakers can sail in this area, and only one ship will appear here on a regular basis every month, and other than that, you can only count on warships that appear here from time to time.

Judging from the situation at that time, it must have been too late to build his own ship, but fortunately, Frankie heard a new news.

He heard from locals he knew that Vegapunk's institute had an icebreaker that had been developed in the early years, and he had his eye on it and wanted to use it to leave Balkimoa.

Shortly after entering, however, Frankie accidentally touched the self-detonation switch in the institute, causing a large explosion that destroyed a large area.

Although this incident was reported to the headquarters by the Navy and reached the ears of Vegapunk, some changes occurred in the transmission of the news, and Vegapunk only knew that something was wrong here, but he didn't know that such a big thing had happened.

As a result, York is very confused and can't figure out the situation at all.

As a young man, Vegapunk tried to build an island-wide underfloor heating installation in order to change the country's cold, but in the end it failed, and the remaining device was destroyed in an explosion caused by Frankie, which became known as "the nightmare of the future country of Balkimoa".

The identity of the transhuman, Frankie did not die in the explosion, but after the explosion, Frankie's whole body was blown beyond recognition, and all the artificial skin was destroyed, revealing the modified body underneath, which looked like a mechanical gerew.

The Navy didn't expect Frankie to be still in the institute, ignoring him because it was dark under the lights.

So Frankie explored the rest of the research institute again, found the weapon invention literature left by Vegapunk, and in order not to scare others, he used the tiger skin found in the laboratory as a covering, but was accidentally ignited by the fire while warming up.

Panicking, he escaped from the institute in a flaming tiger skin, and he encountered the navy patrolling outside, and the terrifying appearance scared them half to death, and left a legend of a burning spirit beast in Balkimoa.

With its broken robots and scorched marks, York at this time is exactly the same as the intruder they are searching for, which eventually leads to York being pursued by the Navy.

"You bastards! I'm Vegapunk! Why don't you stop yet?! Contact the five old stars for me, I want to accuse you! ”

"Vegapunk is dead! Do you want to pretend that he doesn't read the newspaper either? Hold it! ”

"Bastard. If it weren't for this body."

It had taken a lot of York's strength to be able to move so smoothly with this body, and the original invention was even more none, otherwise she would never have fallen to this point.

After chasing, even some modified animals have joined the team, those are the early inventions of Vegapunk, and the modified control animals are used to replace the labor of the residents, which is the predecessor of the mechanical sea beast regiment.

In terms of creation authority, Vegapunk has never been very good, and at this time York has no way to control those things.

In pursuit, York ran into the nearby forest, and the navy and the beasts were in hot pursuit, and just as she struggled with how to shake off the men, a pair of large hands reached out from behind the trees on the side and grabbed her.

"It's here again, I couldn't find anyone around here last time, what the hell is going on?!"

"No matter, the monster's whereabouts have been exposed, and this guy can always be found here."

After a fruitless search, the navy departed, but under the heavy snow and ice was a very rudimentary laboratory.

"Yo, Uncle Ben saved you, don't you want to say something?"

It was Frankie, who had just brought Yokla over, who was hiding here, and after receiving Luffy's message, he began to study what Vegapunk left behind here, and made some progress.

Seeing that the navy was chasing York, he helped her.

"Say something? You're a thief with a decent level of skill to make these things. ”

Looking at the drawings in this stronghold, York seemed to have a new plan.

"Thieves? Do you bastard robot want to hear what you're talking about? It was Uncle Ben who saved you. ”

Frankie said word by word, and a small hand reached out from the tip of the reshaped huge arm, and he made a double middle finger gesture towards York.

"Isn't it? The drawings here were all left by me when I was younger, didn't you steal them? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, this is when Vegapunk was young."

"That's right, I'm Vegapunk!"

"What?!"
