"The core of the machine?"

"What's that? It looks so familiar!"

Vegito's tone was filled with confusion.

"That's one of your core components! You could even say it's the most core component!"

"Once you reinsert it into your body, your body will undergo a transformation, returning to your true form!!"

"Of course, that's not all. Your body's core also stores your memories, so when you fuse with it, those memories will also be loaded into your system!"

Emeth said calmly.

Vegito stood there stunned for a moment, and after a long while, slowly asked:

"So, according to you, this thing is very important to me?"

"Very important!"

Emeth nodded slightly.

"Then why are you in your possession?"

Vegito's tone held a hint of curiosity.

"Of course you gave it to me!"

Emeth said calmly.

"Huh?! Why would I give this to you?"

Vegito took the so-called machine core from Emeth's hands and asked a question.

"It's a long story; you'll understand once you've integrated it!"

Emeth pointed to the machine core in Vegito's hand and said.

Vegito nodded.

The next moment--

Like Emeth, he also had a hole in his chest, located slightly below the driver's cab.

At this moment, Vegito finally understood what this place was for; he had been wondering why there was a useless hole in his body.

It turns out it was used to house his machine's core!

Vegito placed the machine's core inside.

The next moment--

boom!

An extremely powerful shockwave emanated from Vegito, sweeping outwards in all directions.

Sizzle!

The powerful aura caused cracks to appear in the surrounding buildings, which then shattered in the next second.

A vacuum zone gradually formed around Vegito.

Xia Chen waved his hand, and a golden protective shield enveloped them.

It remained unmoved despite the incredibly powerful shockwaves crashing against it.

Behind them, the blue protective shield reappeared, enveloping the building where Vegapunk and the others were located.

"That Vegito!"

Watching Vegito unleash his ever-growing aura, Xia Chen murmured softly.

Vegito's aura was growing stronger, and his form was gradually changing.

It's transforming into a more Haki look!

I don't know how much time passed...

"Boom!"

A shockwave, many times stronger than before, emanated from Vegito's body.

The ground within several hundred meters of him instantly shattered, creating a huge crater. Countless plumes of dust filled the surrounding area.

The blue protective shield was flashing incessantly, as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Some time passed.

Once all the noise subsided and the dust settled, a gigantic robot, hundreds of meters tall and covered in white and gold, came into view.

"!!!"

"This... this is Vegito?"

Luffy stared wide-eyed at Vegito, who had almost completely changed, his eyes filled with shock.

"It can even transform?"

Xia Chen also said something.

He hadn't expected Vegito to be able to change forms, especially since he had already done so once before.

Can!

As expected, it is the pinnacle of technology from the Great Kingdom nine hundred years ago!

That's absolutely true!

Vegito stood silently in place, his hundred-meter-tall figure exuding an immense sense of oppression.

He remained silent for quite some time, until --

"You remember now!"

Emeth looked at Vegito and said, his tone slightly relaxed.

"Hmm! I remember everything!"

"Vegito said calmly."

After speaking, he remained silent for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Chen and asked:

"Master! I may not be able to accompany you any longer! I have things I must do!"

"It's not just about upholding our initial principles, it's about protecting this world!"

Tell me!

Xia Chen spoke softly.

"A prophecy once circulated in the Great Kingdom!"

Vegito spoke slowly, and as soon as he spoke, Xia Chen and Luffy couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Will the world eventually sink to the bottom of the sea?

Luffy couldn't help but speak up.

"Um?!!"

How did you know?

Upon hearing this, Vegito immediately responded with utter surprise.

"We've already been informed about this!"

Xia Chen spoke calmly.

"Well..."

Vegito was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, he said:

"Alright! Then I'll tell you another story!"

"Besides our mothers who gave us birth, we also have..."

"We've heard this story before!"

Xia Chen spoke again.

Vegito:...

Vegito remained silent for a long time before finally speaking softly.

"Who told you that? I'm going to kill him!"

Vegito was speechless. He had finally regained his memories and wanted to show off, only to be told that Vegeta already knew everything?

What's the point of him regaining those memories then?

Shaking his head, Vegito looked at Xia Chen again. He had a secret known only to a very few people, and he didn't believe Xia Chen knew it either.

Of course, having already been proven wrong twice, he certainly wouldn't repeat the same mistake, so he tentatively asked:

"Then... do you know any other way to stop the world from sinking into the sea?"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then, under Vegito's expectant gaze, said:

"I really don't know that!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, the red light in Vegito's eyes immediately lit up and flickered continuously, showing how excited he was.

That wasn't easy!

Finally, he knows something that others don't!

"Cough cough!"

A synthesized cough sound came from Vegito, followed by a voice saying:

"Since you know about the prophecy that the world will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea, you should also understand that this is not a prophecy, but something that will eventually happen!"

"And now... I can judge roughly how much time is left until that deadline by sensing the concentration of a certain strange energy in the world!"

"Actually, I could sense it before, but since I had no memory of it at the time, I didn't know what it was!"

"But now I know!"

"I'll sense it now and see how much time I have left for the world and for myself!"

"I remember the last time the concentration wasn't high, it would be at least several more years..."

"What?!!"

Vegito was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly changed her tone, speaking loudly and incredulously, her voice filled with horror.
