Dissipation of the Storm of War

In the days that followed, under Vegapunk's cover, the research into the power of the "Lord of the Void" within Lucci came to an end without yielding any results.

The Gorosei were naturally quite dissatisfied with this result, but they were helpless.

It was not merely Vegapunk's own judgment. Several other scientists at the research institute had subsequently participated in the research, and they had all reached the same conclusion.

Afterward, while ordering the institute to continue deeper research in this area, the unwilling Gorosei also had Lucci lead the other CP9 members in forming a new CP0 squad and begin handling CP0 affairs.

After all, based on the intelligence currently held by the World Government, as well as the information they had confirmed from Lucci, the way Lucci had obtained the power of the "Lord of the Void" suggested that the "Lord of the Void" seemed completely unable to communicate normally with the members of the "Void" organization.
