Afterward, they learned many interesting theories from Vegapunk.
According to Vegapunk,
during the Void Century, there had been a highly advanced nation that, for some unknown reason, went to war with the twenty strongest nations in the world at the time.
Of course, the ultimate victors in that war needed no introduction: they were the twenty nations that originally founded the World Government.
