"By the way, do you know where Egghead is?"
"Luo Wen asked Stussy," he said.
"I know, Dr. Vegapunk told me the coordinates of Egghead." Stussy frowned slightly, his breath still seeming to carry the smell of fish. "However, due to the magnetic field at sea, getting there won't be easy."
Without thinking, she drank another cup of tea to rinse her mouth.
"In other words, the exact location cannot be determined." Luo Wen pondered for a moment, then thought of a sleazy-looking middle-aged man, "However, perhaps I have a way."
After a while, Luo Wen led Stussy to Kizaru was reviewing documents at the Neo Marines Headquarters.
However, that thin document kept Kizaru occupied for half an hour, so it's hard to say whether he was working or slacking off.
"Admiral Kizaru is truly diligent in his duties."
Luo Wen looked at Kizaru and said with a half-smile.
"Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen, please stop teasing me. How can this little bit of work be considered diligent?"
Kizaru signed his name on the document with an embarrassed expression, then looked up at Luo Wen.
What bad luck! He finally managed to catch a fish, but the big boss caught him.
However, this cannot be blamed on him. He had many former naval colleagues who adapted quickly to the Neo Marines's operations and handled everything in an orderly manner.
Finding nothing else to do, he only touched it briefly.
"Hmm." Luo Wen Kizaru noncommittal, not pressing the matter of Kizaru slacking off.
He had already anticipated this scene when he pulled this guy over.
As long as Kizaru doesn't falter in crucial moments, he can rest occasionally; after all, he's a 56-year-old man.
Luo Wen cut to the chase, asking Kizaru, "Admiral Kizaru, I need to go to Egghead to rescue Vegapunk. Do you know the way?"
Kizaru was startled for a moment, then immediately agreed with delight, "I guarded the Marine Science Unit in Egghead, and I have the Log Pose from there."
As a top-secret location of the World Government, Egghead was not supposed to be used by outsiders to carry the Log Pose.
As a former Marine Admiral and commander of the Marine Science Unit, Kizaru has the authority to grant this authority.
Egghead, his friend Vegapunk and his adopted nephew Sentomaru are there.
He planned to rescue Vegapunk and Sentomaru after defeating the World Government, as the final battle against them was imminent.
Unexpectedly, Luo Wen brought it up himself, which was exactly what he wanted to do.
Kizaru carefully pulled a Log Pose from his pocket and handed it to Luo Wen, then hesitated before saying, "I also want to go to Egghead, I wonder if that's possible?"
After thinking for a moment, Luo Wen agreed, "Then you can come with us. You happen to be familiar with that place."
"Thank you so much Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen!" Kizaru was overjoyed, then asked with some confusion, "What's the deal with this Queen of the Pleasure District?"
Luo Wen glanced at Stussy and came up with a suitable introduction. "She's Vegapunk's daughter, and she specifically asked me to come and rescue Vegapunk."
Stussy nodded slightly, acknowledging Luo Wen's statement.
"Ah?"
Kizaru was completely stunned, unable to believe his ears.
Old Bei, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you actually have an illegitimate daughter outside?
After a brief greeting to the Gion, Luo Wen, Stussy, and Kizaru boarded a warship and headed for Egghead.
The New World, Egghead Island, Egghead.
In this futuristic city, five hundred years ahead of the outside world, Vegapunk and his six clones are busy in the laboratory, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In the laboratory, Saint Garling leaned on his rapier, sipping tea while urging the others on.
"Dr. Vegapunk, I never knew you had a passion for history."
Saint Garling looked at Vegapunk and said with a hint of sarcasm.
This was an unexpected discovery for him when he came here: this world's number one scientist was actually researching history that had been banned by the World Government.
Imu's order was absolutely correct. If this world's number one scientist were allowed to continue his research, he would definitely develop rebellious thoughts against the World Government.
Vegapunk deserves to die!
"I was just curious about who left behind these ancient scientific relics in Egghead; I didn't mean any disrespect to the World Government."
Vegapunk broke out in a cold sweat and said somewhat flusteredly.
The new Five Elders arrived too quickly, catching him completely unprepared, which is why Saint Garling saw something he shouldn't have.
"Let's just say you're curious, but attempting to trace the history of that Void Century is a capital offense." Saint Garling scoffed disdainfully, saying, "Dr. Vegapunk, how much longer until you complete your research on the Mother Flame?"
"You must produce results within two weeks before I allow you to continue living."
"It'll be done soon, it'll be done soon. I promise to finish the research within two weeks."
Vegapunk wiped his sweat and said wearily.
He didn't believe Saint Garling's nonsense at all, and kept a close watch on him every day, leaving him no personal space whatsoever.
He didn't think that if he developed the Mother Flame, Saint Garling would let him go.
Moreover, the Void Century of history made him realize that the World Government absolutely could not obtain the Mother Flame.
Therefore, he did not make any progress on the research on the Mother Flame during this period, and was just pretending to be busy.
However, his sixth incarnation, York, betrayed him and instead obeyed Saint Garling's orders.
Fortunately, he was highly skilled and chose the wrong direction to study, which prevented York from noticing his mistake.
However, this state can only last for two weeks at most. After two weeks, he will inevitably face a deadly calamity from Saint Garling.
But he didn't want to die; he wanted to use unlimited energy to benefit humanity.
Vegapunk counted down the time in his mind, hoping for rescue.
He secretly contacted Stussy two days ago.
If all goes well, Stussy should be on his way with Luo Wen.
Outside of Egghead.
A warship cut through the surging waves, and three thousand meters away, a blurry island appeared before the group.
"Luo Wen, shall we simply sail the ship in?"
Stussy asked Luo Wen.
"Sailing there by boat would alert them; we should fly there directly." Luo Wen shook his head and said seriously, "We'll break in as quickly as possible, before the World Government has time to destroy the research data."
"Admiral Kizaru, stay close to us."
Having said that, Luo Wen unleashed his Observation Haki, covering the entire Egghead three thousand meters away, and found a blind spot where no one was watching.
Then, golden-red flames erupted from beneath his feet as he embraced Stussy and flew toward Egghead.
His A-rank magic release, Flame, allows him to fly at supersonic speeds.
"Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen flies incredibly fast. Speaking of which, what kind of ability is that? I've never heard of him eating Devil Fruit!"
Kizaru sighed with some confusion, then transformed into a golden light and gave chase.
Two streaks of light flashed by, covering three thousand meters in just a few seconds and entering Egghead.
