One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1077: Battle of the Mother Fire (Part )
"Oh no! People from the World Government are coming!"

Vegapunk suddenly turned his head and said, in front of him, Quinn and others were carefully staying in the special room from last time. There were too many people and the room was packed.

"What's going on? Why are people from the World Government here?"

Quinn asked immediately after hearing this, the appearance of the World Government’s people might disrupt their plans.

"I'm not sure, but it's probably related to one of my researchers, Skarska, a researcher who looks a bit like Caesar and is very ambitious. I don't know what this guy is doing with the CP0 people. There's also a guy wearing black clothes, which looks a bit like yours."

Vegapunk said as he saw everything through the service robot's perspective. At the same time, he began to mobilize all the surveillance cameras under his control on the entire New Eggman Island and began to search for the situation. It would have been fine if he hadn't searched, but as soon as he searched, he found that there were suddenly more than a dozen heat sources on Eggman Island. Although they were very hidden, he could still see them. After all, these were the latest type of heat source sensors. Unless one was a fruit ability user, it was impossible not to see them.

"Damn it, something went wrong at this time. What's the situation now? Do you want to go over?"

Quinn asked after cursing under his breath.

"I have to go. They are here to find me. If I don't go, they will definitely suspect me. So, I will let Shakya lead the way for you. You go down to the location of the mother fire as quickly as possible and start sending signals. I will delay as much as possible to buy you some time. Edison knows how to operate the flipping procedure. He is waiting for you there right now. Go quickly. I will buy you some time."

Vegapunk pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Is that possible? Do you want me to send someone to follow?"

Quinn thought for a while and said that his idea was to let Louis Seth follow him. Through the projection technology modified by Louis Seth, he could look like another person, and maybe he could get away with it.

"No, I don't have the habit of bringing people to meet people. It would be bad if I was found out, so I have to go by myself. Let's go, there's no time to waste."

Vegapunk waved his hand and left without looking back, but before leaving, he asked Shakya to help lead the people, and at the same time informed Quinn and others of the situation on the New Egghead Island.

"Damn it! So many people came up after us? There's no time to waste. We can't all go down. Two people are enough. Hawkins, you come with me. Let the others find a place to hide. If these people have any intention of attacking, destroy them! We must not let them cause damage to the New Egghead Island! Do you understand?"

Quinn thought quickly for a few seconds and then said seriously.

"understand!"

The dozens of infiltration teams of the Hundred Beasts present said that the weakest ones here are the Chihu, and they are the Chihu with the ability of fruits, and they are never afraid of fighting.

"Okay, let's go according to the map. Shakya, let's go as quickly as possible to the location of the mother fire. As long as we destroy the mother fire, our plan will be completed. Quick!"

Watching everyone else leave, Quinn turned and said to Shakya.

"Understood, follow me!"

Sakya also knew the seriousness of the moment. He said nothing more, turned around and pressed a few buttons on the wall. A secret passage appeared. Sakya, Quinn and Hawkins rushed in without looking back and disappeared into the dark tunnel.

On the other side, Vegapunk had already appeared at the door of the main laboratory. He straightened his clothes and walked in as if he had just finished research. His clothes looked very dirty. "Huh? Isn't it Owl who came? He hasn't been here for a long time?"

Vegapunk raised his head and pretended to be surprised as he looked at CP0 who was sitting there motionless.

"The owl died a long time ago, decades ago. If you want to find him, I can take you to see him."

When CP0 heard Owl's name, his voice suddenly became cold and murderous, causing Skarska beside him to shiver. However, Vegapunk seemed to be unaware of it and walked leisurely to the table and sat down.

"Really? He's dead. I was wondering why he didn't come. I still have a bottle of his wine here. Are you his friend? Please give it to him for me when the time comes."

Vegapunk said, and gave two instructions to the service robot. The service robot left, and CP0's murderous intent disappeared without a trace at this moment. This also made Vegapunk secretly relieved. He was not as relaxed as he looked on the surface. In fact, he was panicked. Fortunately, his choice was correct. The other party did have a good relationship with Owl CP0. In this way, no matter what they were going to do next, at least he would be much safer.

"Okay, I'll send it to him when the time comes. Now let's get down to business, Dr. Vegapunk. Someone has accused you of having connections with unknown forces and the possibility of rebellion. How do you explain this?"

I don’t know if it’s because of the bottle of wine, but CP0’s tone softened a lot. At the same time, he asked the question directly without beating around the bush like usual. His honesty was unimaginable, which made Skarska look at him with wide eyes, because no one would answer yes at this time!
"I admit the first point. I do have contact with the outside world. After all, scientific research cannot be done behind closed doors. It is inevitable to communicate with the outside world. The person I communicate with is also my former colleague, the king of Jemal 66 - Vinsmoke Judge. Although I want to talk to Quinn, it's a pity that I can't contact him in the New World now. As for betrayal, my experiments require a lot of money. No one can afford this money except the World Government. Even if I want to betray, no one will accept it. Even the Four Emperors probably won't want me, right? Haha."

Vegapunk did not deny it directly. After all, he knew that the other party must have seen something when he came, or what Skarska saw. If that was the case, then if he said directly that he had not contacted anyone, he would probably be exposed. So he just said "I have seen it" and admitted it openly. What can you do to me? I will give you the facts directly. Although I did not defect because of the funding, at least in the eyes of others, this is an impeccable reason, isn't it?

"You are right, but Mr. Skarska said that you secretly met with someone and disappeared in an instant. I didn't find this record in the port entry records. What happened?"

Although he felt that Vegapunk was fine, CP0 certainly couldn't let the matter slip so easily. He had to ask again, so CP0 asked again.

"This is easy to understand, isn't it? I don't want anyone to know about this. After all, the organization that Judge and I formed back then wasn't a formal organization. At the same time, every time we communicated, he would send a color-changing android to sneak in and ask some questions. Then I would tell him something, and he would also tell me about the situation on his side. Our communications were very simple, just a few words, nothing important. Oh, and I told the Five Elders that I didn't say anything that shouldn't be said."

Vegapunk spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand him. This made CP0 feel relieved. It seemed that Vegapunk did have a secret, but this secret did not reach the level of betrayal. In this case, there was no need to kill everyone on the island, but the necessary beatings were still inevitable.

"Okay, Dr. Vegapunk, you are very frank, which makes our communication very pleasant and saves us a lot of unnecessary trouble. However, the Five Elders asked me to tell you a message. You will be given another half a month at most for the Mother Fire. If they don't see the finished product, something will happen that none of us want to see. Do you understand?"

CP0 stood up and looked down at Vegapunk.

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, I'll be on time in half a month."

Vegapunk nodded and agreed readily.

"Very good, then this conversation ends here, pointing the gun!"

CP0 had just finished speaking when, without waiting for the researcher Skarska next to him to protest, he stabbed Skarska's neck with a finger, and blood splattered on the spot.
