Half a day passed quickly.
Within half a day, the Thousand Sunny returned to its usual calm.
The destruction of the Big Mom Pirates did surprise them, but it won't affect them, and they don't need to worry about whether the World Government will take action against them.
With Xia Chen around, they didn't need to worry about anything.
This is their confidence in Xia Chen!
Suddenly, a voice came from the ship's lookout tower, breaking the silence on board.
"Hey everyone! I see an island!"
Usopp looked down and said excitedly.
This shout instantly ignited the atmosphere on the ship.
Within seconds, everyone rushed out of the cabin.
One by one, they craned their necks to look into the distance.
"Where? Where is the island?"
Luffy shouted excitedly, looking around with his head raised.
They already knew beforehand that the next island was Egghead Island.
They naturally knew about Vegapunk's presence on this island.
When Vegapunk is mentioned, the first impression people have is that he has the World's Strongest brain and is the World's Strongest scientist with wisdom that is 500 years ahead of the world!
The number of inventions is countless!
These high-tech gadgets are extremely attractive to Luffy, so naturally he gets incredibly excited.
After watching for a while, Luffy's gaze settled on a black dot in the distance.
He immediately shouted at Usopp:
" Usopp, throw me the binoculars!"
Upon hearing this Usopp immediately threw his binoculars at Luffy, Luffy exclaimed in surprise as he used the binoculars to observe the black dot he had just seen.
"That... that is!"
"A giant egg!!"
"Wow! This looks like so much fun!"
Luffy's lips curled up at a visible speed, his face full of anticipation.
The expressions of the others were basically the same; they were also quite interested in Vegapunk.
Before long, the Thousand Sunny arrived at Egghead Island.
Looking at the island so close at hand, everyone couldn't help but slightly open their mouths wide.
From this distance, they could already roughly see the futuristic buildings on Egghead Island.
(✧∇✧)!!
Luffy and Usopp's group were completely smitten; these country bumpkins had absolutely no resistance to such high-tech gadgets.
" Gum-Gum..."
Luffy grabbed the railing and then stretched his body out.
The next moment--
The moment his hand loosened, Luffy's figure flew away instantly, leaving only a sound behind.
"Everyone, I'm heading over now!"
"Wait for me!"
Usopp shouted, then leaped into the air as well, following Luffy as they Luffy towards Egghead Island.
"Ah?"
"Why can't I fly? I wish I could go there right now!"
Chopper watched Luffy and Usopp's retreating figures with envy on his face.
"Um?!"
Hearing this, Xia Chen slightly turned his head, a smile appearing on his lips. With a thought, his Flying Nimbus instantly appeared in front of Chopper, and he looked at him and said:
"Go ahead, I guarantee you'll be faster than them!"
"Um?"
Chopper was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy instantly appeared on his face. He turned to look at Xia Chen and said excitedly:
Thank you, Xia Chen!
With that, Chopper leaped directly onto the Flying Nimbus.
"By the way, how does Xia Chen control this cloud?"
Chopper suddenly asked Xia Chen.
A mischievous smile crept across Xia Chen's lips.
"You just need to hold on tight!"
"Do it well?"
Chopper was stunned for a moment, and before he could react to what Xia Chen meant, he suddenly felt himself darting out, his hooves instinctively grabbing at anything he could reach.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Chopper's eyes rolled back, tears streamed down his face, and he gripped the edge of the Flying Nimbus tightly with both hooves, flying away at an incredible speed.
Chopper probably has absolutely no desire to run off with Luffy and Usopp anytime soon.
But there's no way around it now. Everything's moved to the cloud; what's the point of talking about coming down to the cloud?
The Flying Nimbus currently flying at an altitude of at least five or six hundred meters above the ground. If Chopper lets go at this height...
whee!
We'll have venison tonight!
After glancing at Chopper again, Xia Chen turned his gaze to Egghead Island, instantly unleashing his Observation Haki with a thought.
It quickly covered the entire island.
"There are many life forms on the island, but none of them are particularly strong, and seven of them are exactly the same!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Vegapunk himself and his Clone. It seems the World Government's people didn't come this time as they did in the original story!"
"That's true!"
"They're already busy enough dealing with the pirates at sea, they don't have time to worry about this!"
Shaking his head, Jiang Mo was about to withdraw his Observation Haki when he suddenly sensed something and let out a soft exclamation.
"These auras belong to..."
In Xia Chen's perception, there were four life forms on the island whose auras were significantly stronger than those of the other life forms.
Although it's nothing to him, this level of aura still puts him at a formidable level even by world standards.
"Seven, could it be...?"
Xia Chen suddenly thought of something, and then said, word by word:
" Seraphim!"
Xia Chen couldn't think of anything else besides this.
Seraphim developed by Vegapunk based on the original Shichibukai, although only four of them appeared in the original work.
But the total number is indeed seven.
Furthermore, at this point in time Seraphim should still be in the process of being perfected and have not been requisitioned by the World Government or the Navy, so it is normal that they are all here.
Thinking of this, Xia Chen couldn't help but show a hint of interest on his face.
He was interested in seeing what the S-Snake's machine looked like, and perhaps he could bring her back to Amazon Lily to be Hancock's sister.
Two Hancock, one big and one small!
That's interesting!
Besides the S-Snake, Xia Chen was also quite interested in the one modeled after Doflamingo among the seven Seraphim models.
He really wanted to see what Doflamingo, who looked like a child, would look like wearing a feather robe and sunglasses.
Is he exactly like those spirited young men he met in his past life?
With such anticipation, the Thousand Sunny slowly approached the shore.
He wasn't in a hurry to go to the island. After all, the buildings and Vegapunk were all there; they couldn't possibly run away.
It doesn't matter if it's fast or slow!
Meanwhile, Luffy had already arrived above those technologically advanced buildings.
Looking down at the architectural style below, which was completely different from anything he had ever seen, Luffy couldn't help but slightly open his mouth wide.
The futuristic, high-tech feel of it was incredibly impactful for him.
However, at that moment, a red light shone from between the buildings below, and Luffy also heard a voice.
"Intruder detected. Initiate destruction procedures immediately!"
The moment the voice fell, a red laser beam shot out from below, hurtling towards Luffy.
"!!!"
