Several days later.
Above Egghead Island.
The massive fleet of airborne ships descended.
Aside from a few Scientific Researchers in white lab coats disembarking, only Enel emerged wearily from a hatch and stretched.
Honestly, this was more tiring than fighting...
He had managed at first, but even the toughest man could only take so much of this draining...
The current needed to keep an entire fleet of dozens of ships airborne was nothing like the power he casually unleashed in combat, where one burst was all it took.
He had to control it and keep supplying it without interruption.
He had only managed because years of training had given him a strong constitution...
Inside a ship's control room.
Enel watched Vegapunk and several of his satellites rush in excitedly and personally inspect everything.
"Listen..."
"Why not just melt these things down? They're useless."
"It's way too early for this stuff."
It really was...
Most of the Four Blues had only just entered an industrial society under the Revolutionary Army's leadership.
Taking the world straight from the industrial age into the interstellar age would be a very long process...
At this stage, these ships were practically useless.
The biggest issue was that the unlimited energy Vegapunk dreamed of had yet to be developed.
Without Enel serving as a mobile power bank, these ships were nothing but heaps of scrap metal...
In a real war, who would have time to be their power bank? Besides, if someone spotted Enel aboard them, they could simply slash the whole lot to pieces...
Vegapunk chuckled.
"These are all valuable materials and samples."
"They're preparations for the future."
The corner of Enel's mouth twitched.
That line again.
Uncle Sakazuki was the same.
They hadn't even wiped out the pirates, the government, or the Revolutionary Army yet,
