Before the Wano Country War.

At the end of the night, like an island of broken eggshells, it casts a long shadow on the sea.

The last fluttering World Government flag, pulled from the plaque inscribed "Egghead Island - Naval Special Science Unit", was taken aboard the Navy warship by the Navy soldiers, along with other items.

On the bow of the warship, Vegapunk, the "world's first scientist" with an apple stalk and fluffy white hair on his head, spits out his big pink tongue and looks nostalgically at this island where he has been staying for I don't know how many years.

"Do I really have to get out of here?"

He turned to look at Admiral Polusalino, the Yellow Ape, who was lying on a beach chair under a huge sun umbrella.

"Polusalino, with our relationship, can we really no longer be accommodating? Maybe wait a little longer and see how that war ends, and then make a judgment? ”

Polusalino closed the newspaper, reached for the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and glanced at Vegapunk.

"It's all this time, are you still struggling with this matter? After all, you shouldn't have set up your research on Egghead Island in the first place. ”

"Why? It's a great place! I am free to study all the scientific and technological directions I want......"

Polusalino shook his head.

"You still ask me why? Think about it, what forces are entrenched around you? ”

"In the direction of Elbaf Island, there are giants, 'red-haired' Shanks."

"In the direction of Victor Island, there is Wang Zhi hovering near Hive Island."

"The current owner of Wano Country is the 'Hundred Beasts' Kaido, but maybe after a while, it will be replaced by an even more terrifying monster - 'that person'."

"'That guy'?" Vegapunk couldn't help but interject and ask.

"Vegapunk, you'd better not pronounce his name. We have discovered that calling him by his name, or his title, carries a certain risk of creating a dangerous connection with him. ”

"So, we used all kinds of pronouns...... This is not the point, the point is that the location of Egghead Island is too dangerous, surrounded by strong enemies, and there is only one G-14 naval branch closest to here......"

Porusalino was clearly describing a terrible situation, but his tone was unhurried, even yawning, and he seemed careless.

"Fortunately, before this, Kaido, Shanks, Wang Zhi, and the giant clan of Elbaf did not have a strong interest in Egghead Island, otherwise by the time the support of the Navy Headquarters arrived, this place would have been razed to the ground."

Vegapunk shook his head, confidently objecting to Polusalino's claims.

"I've gathered the most cutting-edge scientific weapons here, not to mention Sentomaru and pacifists, just the sea beast weapons in the open sea are enough to defend against pirate ships!"

Putting the newspaper aside, Polusalino slowly rose from his beach chair, his tall body emerging from under the umbrella and stretching out in the warm sun.

"Vegapunk, I don't think so...... In my experience, an elite of the 'Old Four Emperors' is enough to break through the defense line here......"

"Oh, by the way, all the important documents and equipment are with you, right?"

"Brought it." Seraph', 'Green Blood', 'Island-wide Air Conditioning Structural Drawings', 'Solar-like Energy', 'Sea Beast Weapons', 'Holographic Projection'......"

Vegapunk counted his years of hard work, and the more he counted, the more sad he became.

Before David Jones and Kaido went to war, Polusalino had arrived with orders from the Five Elder Stars.

They demanded that Vegapunk move all the research results to the Red Continent, away from the land of right and wrong.

As it turned out, their intentions were prescient.

Kaido may let go of the treasure island of Egghead Island and stick to the big sauce vat of Wano Country, but David Jones may not be.

Whoever wins the war with Wano Country will be affected by Egghead Island, which is not too far away.

The technological artifacts on Egghead Island cannot be obtained by either David Jones or Kaido.

Most of Vegapunk's scientific research, including the Seraph, was transferred to the G-14 branch in advance, and then escorted to the G-1 branch by a fleet of numerous vice admirals.

And the G-1 branch has the "Fuji Tiger" in charge for the rest of his life, and he guarantees that these "treasures" can be safely delivered to Mary Joa, the holy land on the Red Earth Continent.

There, Vegapunk will have a new giant research institute that largely mimics the structure of Egghead Island, but under the watchful eye of the Five Elders and the World Government.

Vegapunk doesn't like to be watched, but he must leave Egghead Island today and go to the safer G-14 branch under the "protection" of Polusalino.

It was an order from his superior, the World Government, the source of all research funding, and he had to obey it, or he would never be able to realize his whimsical ideas again.

Most of the results and materials have been sent away, and most of the memories left here are for Vegapunk......

"Alas......"

He sighed suddenly, because there was one of the greatest pieces of equipment he couldn't take with him, and that was the "Vegapunk Records" at the top of Egghead Island.

The Vegapunk recording device contains all the thoughts and wisdom of him and his six doppelgangers—Shakya of Righteousness, Lilith of Evil, Edison of Thought, Pythagoras of Wisdom, Atlas of Rage, and York of Desire.

He and the six doppelgangers share the Vegapunk records once a day, ensuring that the seven of them can continue to work together rationally and efficiently.

However, it was so huge that it was almost integrated with Egghead Island, and it would take a while to dismantle it, and the Five Elders were not willing to wait at all.

God knows when the Wano Country War will start and when it will end, will David Jones or Kaido suddenly reach out here?

In desperation, Vegapunk had no choice but to obey their orders and destroy the Vegapunk Records along with Egghead Island.

"Everybody has boarded the ship. Vegapunk, make up your mind. ”

With his hands in his pockets, Polusalino was not in a hurry, he seemed to know very well what Vegapunk would choose.

They're old acquaintances.

Vegapunk glanced at the six doppelgangers on the other warship, as well as the sturdy Sentomaru, who also looked at Egghead Island reluctantly.

Sentomaru, Gion, Lifetime ...... As soon as they heard these names, they knew that they had some kind of connection with Wano Country, but they had never seen all kinds of drastic changes in Wano Country in the past.

On the one hand, it is because of their position, and on the other hand, as long as they see the vastness of the world, it is difficult to pay so much attention to the small land of Wano Country.

Yes, the world is very vast, so let's treat all research failures and start all over again......

One day, I will enable people all over the world to participate in the function of sharing Vegapunk records.

He fumbled with a remote control and pressed the button above.

Boom –

The destruction of Egghead Island was less earth-shattering, with directional blasting causing it to collapse and shatter one by one, and the sea overflowed the unobstructed embankment, flooding a large area.

In another half an hour to an hour, Egghead Island will sink into the deep sea like a huge ship.

Boom –

The explosions continued.

"Vegapunk, do you want some drink?"

"No, Polusalino."

Vegapunk, who had made the painful decision, refused Polusalino's reassurance, turned around and walked back into the room, closing the door.

"Let me be quiet for a moment."

Polusalino waved his hand helplessly and lay back on his beach chair.

"Mission is finally over......

As for Vegapunk, he sat on the edge of the bed, and after thinking for a long time, he carefully took out a special anti-eavesdropping phone bug and dialed it to a specific target.

After a few busy tones, the phone bug was quickly connected.

"Hello?"

"It's me. Sttootsy. ”

"Doctor, is there anything important?"

"Me and the six clones are going to move to the Red Earth Continent en masse, and we'll talk about the details later. Be careful yourself, we'll see you in the Holy Land of Mary Joa. ”

"Yes...... I understand that when we finish our work here, we will also return to the Red Earth. Be careful, and see you when the time comes. ”
