"So, not only has the World Government repaired Uranus, but they'll also have a Vegapunk giving them his full support?"
Even Dragon's usually unruffled face twisted as though he had a toothache...
Having already reaped plenty of benefits from Xie Wen, he knew Vegapunk's capabilities all too well. He hardly dared imagine what absurd contraptions a Vegapunk who devoted all his energy to weapons development could produce with the World Government's support!
He might even manage to replicate a few copies of Uranus.
"Yeah, and Imu might already know by now that I was the one who leaked information about him."
Xie Wen's face took on the same toothache-like expression.
York hadn't been present when he had spoken to Vegapunk about Imu, and Vegapunk probably wouldn't have been foolish enough to upload those memories to Punk Records, but there was no guarantee he hadn't discussed it privately with his satellites.
It wasn't that Xie Wen was afraid of being exposed. If he really had been, he wouldn't have spread the word about Imu in the first place.
But with Imu's habit of blowing up an entire island just because an outsider had caught a glimpse of him, he would probably turn the full might of the World Government against Xie Wen. Leisurely wandering the world with the cats would probably no longer be possible after that.
And factions on good terms with Xie Wen, such as the World Economy News Paper and Fish-Man Island, would most likely face his wrath and a reckoning too...
On top of that, the fact that Klee Meow had fused with the Mother Carmel Flame might also come to light. If the World Government took precautions, Xie Wen's plan to use the Little Plushie to catch Uranus off guard again would most likely fall through.
