Meanwhile, at the other end of Egghead Island.
Luffy had finally brought Robin and the other two back
and successfully reunited with Nami and the others on the middle level.
The brief joy of their reunion was quickly swept away by the grim reality.
Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates was exhausted and wounded.
"Nami!" Luffy pulled Nami out of his arms after she rushed into them.
"What exactly happened? Where are Sanji and Jinbe?
And... you told me York betrayed us. What's that all about?"
Nami was pale, but with their pillar of support back,
she forced herself to calm down and recounted their ordeal in the Old Laboratory, York's betrayal,
how Sanji and Jinbe had been gravely wounded by the Blackbeard Pirates,
and Stussy's warning, as fully as she could.
"That's everything." Nami took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly.
"Based on what Stussy from CP0 said-CP0 has already parted ways with us-
York must have used Vegapunk and forced him to activate the highest authority over the Seraphim
to kill everyone on the island except him and herself!
He was also the one who trapped us after Sanji and Jinbe left.
In short, York's betrayal... caused everything that followed!"
"What?!" Luffy's eyes widened.
Behind him, the three who had gone looking for Poneglyphs after landing and had no idea what had happened-
Robin, Franky, and Brook-also turned pale at the news.
Then Luffy suddenly turned toward the two Vegapunk satellites who had been following them,
both looking just as grim now:
Atlas, who represented "violence," and Edison, who represented "thought."
"Hey! Atlas! Edison!"
"That laboratory Nami mentioned... the place where York and old man Apple are-
do you know exactly where it is? Can you take me there?"
Atlas and Edison still seemed dazed by
