The scheming begins

Saint Saturn spoke calmly, a hint of disdain in his voice, "That guy wants to use this incident to become Celestial Dragon!"

Saint Mars said, "That's Vegapunk's Clones after all; we need to observe him more closely. These kinds of people are the most unreliable!"

Everyone nodded in agreement with Saint Mars's statement!

So, Saint Peter said, "Then you, Satan, will be fully responsible for the matter concerning Vegapunk! After all, you still need to keep an eye on Bullet Island!"

Saint Saturn nodded and said, "No problem!"

"As for Garp, we'll handle that!" Saint Peter said seriously.

This is the Five Elders' secret plot!

However, they still believe that they are in their own base and that the five of them are not afraid of being monitored!

Ironically, the place they considered the safest had actually failed to provide the necessary confidentiality.

On Bullet Island!

Dr. Vegapunk, listening to the Five Elders' conspiracy, muttered to himself, "I didn't expect that Clones would already be a traitor?"

"And another thing! I think I overheard something unbelievable! I wonder if Haku will go berserk when she finds out?"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble that kid Haku will cause," he shook his head slightly, seemingly feeling a little regretful that Clones had betrayed him, but more so looking forward to the chain reaction triggered by the truth that was about to be revealed.

He stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the busy yet orderly scientific research scene on Bullet Island, but his heart was in turmoil.

It seems we've reached a certain point in time!

Vegapunk pulled a Den Den Mushi from a hidden compartment!

After a brief blip, the call was immediately answered.

"Has something happened? You shouldn't be calling now!" Long said calmly from the other end of the phone.

Vegapunk cut straight to the point, saying, "My identity is about to be discovered! No, it should be said that the World Government is about to make a move against me!"

Long was silent for a moment, then he said directly, "I'll come pick you up right away!"

"No! No! No! As the leader of an organization, you can't just show your face like that! Besides, you won't have time to come here in the future!" Vegapunk said.

Long frowned slightly, but still said, "From what you're saying, is there going to be some problem on my end?"

"Garp is in trouble! I just got word that Garp is going to be lured to Hachinosu! With the Revolutionary Army's intelligence capabilities, you should know what kind of people are stationed there, right?" Vegapunk said seriously.

Vegapunk immediately told Dragon everything about the Five Elders' plans!

Upon hearing this, the dragon's eyes instantly sharpened!

"Grandpa Garp... how dare they!" Dragon's voice revealed barely concealed anger and worry. "Vegapunk, are you sure this information is reliable?"

"It's absolutely true. I just overheard the Five Elders' private conversation," Vegapunk said gravely. "They not only intend to harm Garp, but they seem to have even bigger plans."

Long pondered for a moment, then quickly adjusted his thoughts, knowing that now was not the time to act impulsively.

"Vegapunk, your top priority now is to ensure your own safety. As for Garp, I will immediately arrange for people to go to Hachinosu. At the same time, I will also strengthen the security within the Revolutionary Army to prevent the World Government from taking advantage of the situation."

Vegapunk nodded after listening.

He said, "You should ask Haku to handle this. I just don't know if you can get in touch with him now? I think he should have already gone to the deep sea, right?"

Long nodded and said, "He is indeed already in the deep sea, but I don't know if he can come back in time."

"This matter is ultimately aimed at Mr. Garp and Haku, and I anticipate that something else will happen to restrict your actions!"

"I will do everything I can to contact him," Long promised.

After the call ended, Vegapunk hung up the Den Den Mushi, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Meanwhile, on Hachinosu!

After the Five Elders gave the order, Koby and his group's identities were immediately exposed on Hachinosu Island, a chaotic island full of all sorts of people.

Unsurprisingly, Koby and his crew were immediately captured by the Pirates!

In the vast central area of Hachinosu, Koby was surrounded by a group of menacing Pirates. Their eyes were filled with greed and mockery, as if they could already see the young naval lieutenant commander being used as a bargaining chip to collect his bounty.

The fact that naval personnel had infiltrated Hachinosu has not yet been reported to S-Rocks.

If S-Rocks knew about this, he would definitely recognize Koby's identity and then find some excuse to throw him off the island!

Despite being in a dangerous situation, Koby showed no fear. He stood tall, his gaze unwavering, silently reciting his promise and beliefs to Vice Admiral Garp.

"Hmph, you brat from the Navy, daring to trespass into our territory alone." The leader of the Pirates laughed, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Looks like your luck isn't so good; you've just stumbled upon our big deal."

Koby didn't respond to his provocation. Instead, he calmly observed his surroundings, searching for a possible escape opportunity. He knew that he couldn't escape by his own strength alone; he had to outsmart him.

Unfortunately, he was far too weak. He simply couldn't escape Hachinosu on his own!

In the New Marineford!

Vice Admiral Tsuru's face was extremely grim, as she herself had only just received news that Sharp Blades's identity had been exposed.

The good news is that her granddaughter has already escaped.

The problem is, Koby, Garp's current disciple, didn't escape!

The atmosphere was heavy and tense in the lobby of the Marine Headquarters in New Marineford.

Vice Admiral Tsuru stood before the conference table, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes revealing deep worry and anger.

Opposite her, Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu had a cold expression and tightly pursed lips, as if he were weighing some important decision.

"Akainu, we can't just give up on Koby like this!" Vice Admiral Tsuru's voice was filled with unwavering determination. "He's Garp's protégé, and Future of the Navy. We can't sacrifice such an outstanding young officer for short-term gains."

Upon hearing this, Akainu frowned slightly. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful. "Vice Admiral Tsuru, I understand your feelings, but we must consider the bigger picture. The current situation is that Hachinosu is heavily surrounded by Pirates and unknown forces. Sending troops to rescue it rashly would not only be extremely risky but could also trigger a larger conflict. Moreover, Koby's identity has been exposed; if he doesn't stay there, he will only become a burden to us."
