One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1024: New Egghead Island Battle (Jin's Action)

"Huh, it's just ahead. I wonder how Quinn is doing over there."

Jhin carefully walked around the corner and looked at the huge door in front of him. According to Eve, this was a room he had to see. It was a very special room. Jhin was very curious about what it was, but he hoped to find Vegapunk as soon as possible.

"Forget it, you're here now, let's go in and take a look."

Jhin sighed and carefully approached the small door next to the main gate. The small door was not closed, or not closed tightly. With Jhin's ability, he could easily open the door lock and enter through the expansion of water.

"Click."

With the sound of the door lock popping open, Jin carefully crawled in. The feedback from his Observation Haki told him that there was no one inside, but he was still cautious. After all, the Mechanical City had devices that could interfere with his Observation Haki. Who knew if there was anything similar here?
"Huh? No lights on? It turns out that not everywhere here is brightly lit?"

Jhin walked into the room. In the empty room, only a few emergency lights emitted dim lights, barely illuminating the room in front of him, allowing Jhin to see clearly what was in front of him.

"Is this... the machine from back then?"

Jin recognized the thing in front of him at a glance. It was the same machine as the one he saw when he met Kaido and Lily. The thing that was comparable to an incinerator. No, this was that machine. There were even traces of the burns left on it. And judging from the above situation, this machine had been here for a long time. Even without using it, Jin could see the thick layer of dust left on it.

"This is also something from that time. And this, and these, are all instruments from that time. Yes, these are them. Have all the things from that laboratory been moved here?"

Jin took a step back unconsciously, the flame that had been hidden in him rising at this moment, the anger made him unable to control himself. It was these things, these instruments, each of them was stained with the blood of his fathers, these evil instruments, evil--

"Clatter!"

Jhin was not paying attention and kicked a pile of file bags, and the scattered documents fell to the ground. Jhin was awakened and immediately dispersed the flames on his body to avoid being exposed.

"these are..."

Jhin picked up the document at his feet and began to look through it. Sure enough, these were the data from experiments on himself or his people. When Jhin saw these, he wanted to burn them all on the spot, but he soon found something wrong.

"No wonder that woman insisted on asking me to come over and take a look. So that's how it is. These times are totally different from Vegapunk. Mr. Chuck, a name I've never heard of, or Mr. Chuck. The signature of the person in charge is all from this Mr. Chuck, but why don't I have any impression of this person at all?"

Jhin kept flipping through the documents on the floor. The name signed at the end of each document was a guy named Chuck, whom he had never heard of.

"You are here after all. It seems my guess was right."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Jin. Jin was startled. Everything in front of him was so shocking that he even forgot to pay attention to his surroundings. Someone was so close to him. He turned around and rushed towards the direction of the voice, but before he could do anything, he discovered the identity of the person in front of him.

"Vegapunk! How dare you appear in front of me?"

Jin said in a deep voice.

"I called you here, so you will show up naturally, right? How is it? How do you feel about seeing those documents?"

Vegapunk said as he looked at Jhin.

"Who's that Chuck?"

Jin looked carefully and suddenly realized that Vegapunk in front of him was not a real person, but just a very real three-dimensional projection. Knowing that he could not hurt Vegapunk, Jin finally calmed down and asked, "Chuck? Ah, an unknown name, but many people know this person. Do you want to guess? I'll give you a hint. Kaido has seen him, you have seen him, and Rose Lily should have seen him too. He has a very high status and is also your enemy."

I don’t know if it was because of his mischievous personality, but Vegapunk actually asked Jhin to guess. However, it was obvious that Jhin was not the kind of person who liked to guess.

"Say, who is it?"

Jin said in a deep voice, with a slight tremor in his voice, and anyone could hear his anger.

"Okay, okay, no more fuss. It's very simple. This Mr. Chuck is Saint Satan, one of the Five Elders, the so-called God of Scientific Defense. Many of my development plans were formulated by him, including the experiment on your Lunaria tribe. In fact, this experiment started a hundred years ago. I just happened to run into you. But I won't say that I have no responsibility, because I took over the next experiment, and even through your bloodline factors, combined with the bloodline factors of the strong among ordinary people, I created some things that are not quite right. But now is not the time to talk about these. Come here first. This is not the place to talk."

Vegapunk said.

"Saint Satan? I get it, but Vegapunk, don't think that this matter is over. After everything is over, I will settle the score with you."

Jhin said as he looked at Vegapunk.

"Of course, I know without you telling me that I have committed many sins and there will be a day of judgment for me."

Vegapunk looked at the screen in front of him and saw Jhin's bloodshot eyes. He said calmly that he had long guessed that there would be such a day, and he had been prepared for it since a long time ago.

"I hope you really know what you're doing."

Jhin looked at Vegapunk and turned away without saying anything else. Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of death, or rather, after discovering what he had done, he was already prepared to die, but not now. He could not die now, at least until he had resolved all of his mistakes.

"Shakya, be prepared. Success or failure depends on this move. We don't have time to hesitate."

Vegapunk closed the screen in front of him and turned to speak to his clone No. 1.

"I understand, my Lord, but as for York..."

Shakya said with some hesitation.

"Bring them together. I think it's time to talk about all these things. Isn't that the most appropriate thing to do? Although York did some wrong things, in essence, this matter is essentially my fault, and I will solve it this time."

Vegapunk looked at the screen on the other side, blocking Quinn behind the lazy sofa and York who was eating his meal in big mouthfuls, and Vegapunk sighed and said.

"I hope so. But maybe York doesn't know our plan yet, let alone that you have already transformed each of us. That guy is always so slow."

Shakya picked up a book and spoke as he flipped through it.

"Hahahahaha, there's nothing wrong with being a little slow, right? You are all clones I created, but in my heart, you are the continuation of my life. You are no different from my children. As a father, I hope that you are all like York, a little slow, slower in reaction, and happier."

Vegapunk said this, stood up and walked towards the door. He still had an appointment to keep, didn't he?
"We want you to be happy too, Father."

Shakya looked at Vegapunk's back and spoke softly in a voice that only he could hear.
