"This matter is very likely related to Dr. Clover. Do you know why the World Government is targeting Vegapunk?"
Since Vegapunk is also researching the Void Century, who do you think taught him Ancient Script?
Vic's thoughts drifted away. Dr. Clover probably realized long ago that Ohara was in danger, after all, they were conducting research that was forbidden by the World Government, especially after they had glimpsed that powerful Ancient Kingdom.
Therefore, Dr. Clover had already prepared a backup plan before the World Government took action, and Vegapunk was one of them, as were other historians who were sent out to search for the Poneglyph, including Olvia!
These are all seeds of Ohara, seeds of the Tree of Knowledge, which will one day sprout and fill in the blanks of history!
" Egghead? Isn't that the island Luffy and his Luffy went to? It seems to be getting more and more chaotic!"
Olvia didn't reply to Vic, but fell into deep thought. Hancock spoke up, but she didn't know Vegapunk and couldn't get a word in edgewise about Dr. Clover's affairs.
She was thinking of Egghead, the Future Island, which is one of the three islands behind Wano Country. Kid chose Elbaf, the Elbaf, Law chose Winner Island, where he almost lost his life, while Luffy went to Egghead!
Now the World Government is also sending people there, and with the three of them on board, Egghead is going to be in a lot of chaos!
"Yeah! It is a bit chaotic, but given Luffy's ability to make friends, I think he will choose to help Vegapunk!"
In addition, we are also going to help Vegapunk, so the general direction is very simple: the two Four Emperors crews from the pirate forces will join forces to help the genius scientist Vegapunk fight bravely against the World Government!
That makes things much simpler, right? The only question is what kind of force the World Government will deploy this time; otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to fight two Four Emperors pirate crews!
When Vic received Vegapunk's call for help, he didn't expect Luffy to go to Egghead, but he knew that, given the Straw Hat Pirates ' nature, they would definitely cause a lot of trouble!
But the final result should be pretty good. With the addition of the others, Vegapunk is as sure as he can be this time. Even if all Five Elders came, it wouldn't make a difference, unless Imu himself descends!
But would Imu condescend to appear in the mortal world for Vegapunk? Vic didn't think that guy would make a move; at most, he might bring along members of the Holy Knights, but the outcome wouldn't change much!
"The temperature is dropping; we should be getting close to that area of the sea soon!"
Egghead is a winter island, where it's winter all year round, including the surrounding seas, where it snows constantly. So, after Vegapunk moved here, his first project was to transform the island's environment.
Vegapunk's hometown is also Winter Island, and he may want to conduct experiments there, using World Government funds, to develop a heating system that can heat the entire island!
With Vegapunk's genius and the right resources, he accomplished it quickly. However, this was limited to the island. The surrounding sea was still in a state of winter snowfall. Now that Vic and his crew had felt the temperature drop, they were not far from Egghead!
Having reached this point, we've almost reached the final stage of the New World. There are only a few islands left ahead, and if we continue sailing, it won't be long before we see Reverse Mountain!
With just four Road Poneglyph, they could go to Laugh Tale right now. Vic guessed that Laugh Tale wasn't on the sea, otherwise they wouldn't need four locations to pinpoint its exact location!
If it's on the sea, the two points can define a straight line, and you'll definitely find Laugh Tale by following that line!
On the open sea, to put it more optimistically, you might not even need navigational markers; you could just stumble upon one by sheer luck!
But after all these years, besides Roger Pirates who followed the road signs, who else could find that place? Didn't anyone think of a blind, lucky break method? Surely many people have thought of it; the remaining sea area is only so big, it wouldn't take much time to explore it all, but no one has been able to find it!
Therefore, Vic believes that Laugh Tale cannot be on the sea surface; it could be on the seabed or in the air. This requires four landmarks to determine its spatial location!
Of course, another possibility is that Laugh Tale is not in this world, but in another dimension. The location determined by the four Road Poneglyph is the node to enter the other dimension, but this node is invisible to the naked eye and can only be entered through a specific method!
Just like the space in the Rainbow Mist that Vic had entered before, but Vic wasn't very interested in Laugh Tale. Going there was fine, but not being able to didn't matter!
That's Luffy's mission. If there's anything he can do to help in the end, Vic won't refuse. He's prepared everything, from manpower and media channels to money, and he's just waiting for that day to come!
However, before that, he needs to cultivate several experts at the God Realm to ensure everything goes smoothly!
Just as Vic was about to leave the two women behind and return to his cabin to eat the third Devil Fruit and gain spatial abilities, Ban called. He didn't ask about the outcome of Vic's battle with Blackbeard, but instead told Vic some new information.
That was the Kid Pirates, whom Vic had been keeping an eye on for a while, who were defeated by Red-Haired Shanks. After Vic received the news and went to Winner Island, Ban continued to keep an eye on Kid's crew, so he received the news immediately and felt it was necessary to tell Vic!
"These three guys have really had a rough time. They fought together in the Sabaody Archipelago, and they also fought together in Wano Country. But after leaving Wano Country, one of them ran into Red-Hair, another into Blackbeard, and as for Luffy, he ran into the even more powerful World Government. I wonder what kind of force the World Government will send this time!"
After hanging up the phone with Ban, Vic sighed. He knew that the battle Luffy was involved in would definitely not be simple, otherwise he wouldn't deserve his high bounty and the title of Four Emperors!
Even if the World Government didn't know beforehand that the Straw Hat Pirates would be involved in eliminating Vegapunk, they would definitely send stronger fighters as soon as they found out!
Compared to Vegapunk, an ordinary person with a genius mind, the Straw Hat Boy Luffy, Awakening Nika's abilities, is the biggest threat. Since they have collided, the World Government will definitely want to wipe them out in one fell swoop, so the number of people they send out afterward will be considerable!
"Then Red-Hair must have obtained the Road Poneglyph from Kid, right? Will he participate in the fight for One Piece?"
The fact that Kid possesses the Road Poneglyph was told to Olvia by Vic, who overheard it using Vic long-range Observation Haki while tracking Kid.
Now that Olvia knows that Kid was defeated by Shanks, the Poneglyph in Kid's possession will most likely fall into Shanks ' hands, just like Law's Poneglyph eventually ended up in their hands.
This conjecture is very well-founded. The trail markers to the One Piece will inevitably end up in the hands of the strongest pirate crews, such as the Four Emperors' crews, and the current outcome matches this perfectly!
"It's hard to say. Although Red-Hair has never paid attention to the One Piece over the years, nor has he deliberately collected Road Poneglyph, he has suddenly obtained three Road Poneglyph. He only needs one more to get the ticket to Laugh Tale. This temptation is not small!"
Red-Hair was once an apprentice on Pirate King Roger's ship. He was just one step away from going to Laugh Tale with legendary figures like Roger and Rayleigh, but due to an accident, he was unable to go in the end!
It would be a lie to say he has no regrets. Perhaps they've always been buried deep in his heart. Now that the opportunity has been presented to him, and he's only one step away from the One Piece, and his own strength is sufficient, only he himself knows what he's really thinking!
