Vegapunk's research institute on the Red Earth Continent is modeled after Egghead Island, and the shape is also a cracked egg.

On this day, he worked late into the night in the Eggshell Research Institute.

Five of the six doppelgangers accompanied him, with only York "Desire" falling asleep in their place.

Vegapunk tries to let the multitude of work content and all kinds of new ideas that emerge wash over the brain and paralyze the mental state.

As for the "Yellow Ape" Polusalino, Sentomaru and a group of pacifists, they were all drawn into this huge war, and I don't know what the situation is now.

Of course, they couldn't have come to persuade Vegapunk.

At this time, the people who know most about Vegapunk's troubles and worries at this time are his clones.

Similar to Egghead Island, the upper level of the Eggshell Research Institute is also set up with the "Vegapunk Record".

At least once a day, Vegapunk and the clones will synchronize their virtual concepts such as memories, experiences, and thoughts.

It's the equivalent of seven people sharing a brain, but it needs to be updated daily.

At present, only he, who has the "brain fruit ability", can do this.

The original purpose, of course, was to improve efficiency, allowing Vegapunk and the clones to perform their respective duties at the same time, and then summarize the results after synchronization.

What the doctor is worried about and anxious about, his doppelgangers probably know.

Unless the Doctor is unwilling to let them know, he voluntarily deletes the record.

However, until now, Vegapunk has not hesitated to let the clones know what he is thinking and what he has seen.

He believes in the clones, and the clones give something in return.

"Integrity" Shakya, "Evil" Lilith, "Thought" Edison, "Wisdom" Pythagoras, "Rage" Atlas......

None of them knew how to comfort the Doctor and relieve the pressure in his heart, so they could only work as hard as they could to share the burden for the Doctor.

And their top priority tonight is to carry out a new round of debugging of the core device that can fill the "ammunition" of the mother fire - the "artificial sun".

Vegapunk has many scientific goals, one of which is to develop an inexhaustible source of energy.

Although it has not yet succeeded, at least the device of "artificial sun" has been made, which can meet the needs of the mother fire.

It's just that the filling time is too long.

The debugging of Vegapunk and the clones is to solve this problem.

Everyone looked at the column in the center of the institute and the huge fireball in it, the "artificial sun", and worked together as bright as day.

Vegapunk yawned and felt a little tired.

He's busy juggling a mess of headaches, dense data.

Shakya suddenly came over.

"Doctor."

"What's wrong? If the machine breaks down, let Edison and Pythagoras fix it, and if it's moving equipment, let Lilith and Atlas do it. ”

"Neither."

Vegapunk finally heard the heaviness of Shakya's words, and couldn't help but turn his head in surprise.

Then he saw Shakya hand him a stack of papers.

"Doctor, this is a synchronous update from before the 'Vegapunk Records', and I just accidentally noticed something wrong."

Vegapunk looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more serious his expression became, and finally he was dyed with a hint of gloom.

"The 'record' has been tampered with...... Who does this part belong to? ”

"York's."

Vegapunk's brows furrowed:

"Shakya, go wake up York and let her come. I need to know what 'records' she has tampered with, what she can't let us know. ”

"Okay." Shakya turned.

He was about to leave when he heard the airtight door of the "Artificial Sun" lab smack open.

Outside the door, many World Government agents in uniform poured in.

And it was the tall woman who led them in, "Desire" York.

Lilith, Edison, Pythagoras, and Atlas all heard something was wrong and walked over.

With inquiring eyes, they glanced at the people who had suddenly broken in.

When Vegapunk saw that York was actually on the side of the CP members of the World Government, he probably understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but sweat like rain.

The leader of this group of CP members is Alpha, a female agent who has just been promoted from CP8 to CP0.

Her greatest achievement in recent years is to restrict Big Bear from meeting her adopted daughter Bonnie.

But her biggest mistake was also failing to control Bonnie and letting her go to sea to become a pirate.

Bonnie is now one of the Paradox Generals, and the first to be held accountable is Alpha.

If it weren't for the fact that all the elites of CP0 were in the horror of Ghost Island, Alpha would definitely have no chance to be promoted.

At this time when there is a shortage of talents, the world government can only use whoever it wants.

Alpha is also in need of an opportunity to atone for his sins, especially for great credit.

There is a big credit in front of me.

Lilith stood up and asked:

"You're a member of CP0, aren't you?" Didn't the Five Old Stars give you an order not to enter here at will? ”

She looked at York again: "York, you took it upon yourself to let them in?" Have you forgotten the rules here? ”

York grinned and ate a doughnut without answering.

Alpha also glanced at Lilith with contempt.

Then, in a businesslike tone, she read the latest order of the "Five Old Stars" to Vegapunk.

"Vegapunk, you installed Stussy into the CP organization, and you had a secret call with her, telling her the information about the mother fire, setting up a special program for Big Bear, and reminding Luffy, all of which were revealed."

"Come with us. The World Government needs to know how much information you have leaked to the Deep Sea Empire or the Revolutionary Army. ”

And sure enough, it was!

Vegapunk's body chilled.

Alpha nuised, and the heavily armed CP0 members walked towards Vegapunk.

However, before they could get closer, Shakya, Lilith, Edison, Pythagoras, and Atlas were in front of Vegapunk.

"None of you want to touch the doctor!" Lilith's eyes widened and she was menacing, "York, what are you still doing standing there, come here to us!" ”

York, however, still ignores Lilith, licking the scraps off his fingers after eating the doughnut.

"You ......" Lilith and the other clones finally sensed something was wrong.

Alpha sneered and reminded:

"You've figured it out. Next to here, there is the Holy Land Mary Joa, what will be the consequences of disobeying the orders of the 'Five Old Stars' here? ”

Everyone present knew that the consequences would be very serious.

At this moment, Vegapunk looked at York and asked sadly, "Why?" Why did you betray us? ”

The call with Stussy and the program set up for Big Bear, these are all known only to him and the six doppelgangers, and now it is obvious that York has exposed everything.

"Uh-huh......" York finally reacted this time, poking her finger cutely into her lips and thinking for a moment before answering.

"It's too troublesome to always 'release desires' for the six of you......"

"If I could, of course I'd rather live alone, and I'd be a Vegapunk myself, replacing the role of all of you, wouldn't it be good?"

"Besides, the 'Five Old Stars' said that as long as I am willing to be an undercover agent and make great achievements, I will have the opportunity to become a Tianlong person in the future. Come to think of it, it's a Draconian......"

Lilith, who had envied and praised the life of the Tianlong people before, figured out the situation at this time, and couldn't help but burst into a rage.

"York, you traitor!"

York shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands again, looking like you were helpless against me.

Vegapunk's face was dejected.

But he didn't try to convince York, because York was a part of him and represented desire.

Lust and greed collude with little end, and words alone cannot convince her.

Vegapunk looked at Alpha at this time and asked, "After the investigation, what will happen to me?" ”

Alpha lifted his glasses and chuckled:

"Then it depends on how much important information you leak. The most serious case, of course, is torture followed by capital punishment. ”
