One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1079: Battle of the Mother Fire (V)
"Nothing is wrong with number 1."

"Nothing is wrong with number 2."

. . .

"Number three? Number three? Number three please reply?"

The man in black followed behind CP0. He had just sent a signal, asking each team to report their position. If there was no problem, they could retreat. Yes, each team. The heat source that Vegapunk thought was only for one person actually had four people. A team of four was the most suitable number configuration they found after long-term training.

Originally, the man in black thought that the matter was over. According to the final convention, they would call the roll, report the situation, and then retreat. It was very simple. However, after the first two groups finished reporting the situation, the third group fell into silence. There was no response for five full seconds. This startled the man in black and he immediately asked again.

They had received special training and could send out signals as long as they had a breath left, but now there was no response for five seconds. Excluding the very unlikely possibility of equipment problems, the biggest possibility was still...

"stop!"

The man in black looked at Vegapunk who was leading the way in front and said in a cold tone.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Vegapunk was originally talking to CP0 while walking. His brain was too developed, which resulted in too many thoughts and his speech was a little incoherent. However, CP0, considering that the other party was a friend of Owl, actually patiently continued to talk to Vegapunk. Although CP0 might not be able to say a single sentence out of sentences from Vegapunk, and most of his responses were perfunctory words like "um", "yes", and "okay", it was still an answer after all.

When the atmosphere was harmonious, the man in black who had not said a word all the way suddenly jumped out, which made Vegapunk couldn't help but be startled, but he didn't look any different on the surface, and even his heartbeat didn't speed up, as if he was just curious about why the other party suddenly spoke.

"Team Three disappeared just now."

The man in black said to CP0.

"Team Three? What do you mean?"

But before CP0 could speak, Vegapunk raised a question first. Team, could it be that the other party's few people were divided into several teams? Or...

Vegapunk thought of a possibility. If this was true, then he might have accidentally betrayed the people of Hundred Beasts. This matter was more or less difficult to explain.

"You don't need to know. Are you sure it's not a problem with the equipment?"

CP0 glanced at Vegapunk coldly. Although he looked like he had a "very pleasant conversation" with Vegapunk just now, as a CP0 who had been fully brainwashed by the World Government, he always put the mission first. Especially in this mission, when Vegapunk was very likely the culprit, he naturally would not be in a good mood after such a thing happened.

"We are sending someone to confirm, but it is unlikely."

The man in black shook his head, his voice was still cold, but it revealed a hint of panic, he had never seen an enemy who could silence a team in an instant, it's not that no one can do it, but no one can do it in such a quiet, silent and fast situation, even the Knights of God need to make some noise, after all, they themselves are the targets of the Knights of God's training.

Facing those god-like characters of the Knights of God, they were still able to hold on for a while. What kind of enemy could make his people unable to utter a word?

"Tell me! Is there anyone else on this island?"

After hearing what the man in black said, CP0 turned around, grabbed Vegapunk by the collar, and pulled him off the ground and asked. Obviously, whether the equipment was damaged or not, catching Vegapunk was the best option. "Who? Besides me and the researchers, there may only be Seraph test subjects on the island, but they are all in the underground space. After all, their situation has always been unstable. Once they show up, they will cause damage. They must be detained at all times and kept calm, otherwise they will cause damage."

At this moment, Vegapunk seemed not to understand what CP0 said, and he waved his fingers and said, but it was obvious that these were not what CP0 wanted to hear.

"So why did our people disappear on the island?"

CP0's fingers approached Vegapunk's open mouth, and the black nails piercing the gloves left no doubt about the power of this thing. At least Vegapunk would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Your people? Wait? You brought people to the island?"

Vegapunk shouted in surprise, as if he knew nothing. At the same time, he took out an instrument and began to scan around. This action made CP0 and the man in black hesitate. The other party looked as if they really knew nothing. However, as the World Government's intelligence organization and the Celestial Dragons' private force, they obviously would not believe all this so easily.

"Wait, when did so many heat sources appear on the island? Why didn't the monitor send any signals?"

While the two were still in doubt, Vegapunk was the first to shout out. He was truly surprised when looking at the monitor in his hand, without a single bit of falsehood. There was no way. He originally thought that there were only a dozen CP0 and the people brought by the man in black, plus thirty or forty people from the Beasts, but now looking at the monitor, there were at least hundreds of people!

"what!"

CP0 was shocked and immediately snatched the monitor. The heat display on it was very obvious, and even CP0, who knew nothing about technology, could see it clearly.

"Not good! Notify all teams! There are enemies!"

CP0 turned around and shouted at the man in black, but there was no need for him to shout, because the man in black had already done so, but - it was too late!
"boom!"

"what--!"

Accompanied by an explosion and screams, the flames illuminated the entire night sky and reflected the red faces of the three people present. Even Vegapunk, who was well prepared, began to doubt whether he could survive the night after seeing the explosion.

"Quick! Go back! Get everyone to my lab! My lab is a special structure! It can't be broken into from the outside!"

Vegapunk, who was still being carried, shook his arms and legs and shouted loudly. He was really not acting at this moment. The explosion was too powerful and he was really afraid of breaking something!

"Take him back with you. I'll go check it out. If there's any problem, I'll be there anytime..."

The man in black made a gesture to CP0 and disappeared. At this moment, all kinds of sounds were heard in the darkness, including shouts, gunshots, the collision of swords, and the explosion of gunpowder.

Of course, in addition to the confused three-man team, there was another person who was thinking. That was Lily, who had just chopped off four heads. Just now, she silently killed four guys hiding in different positions at the same time. As a result, just when she was about to go to the next location, an explosion sounded.

"Who was found?"

After pondering for a moment, Lily stopped waiting and headed for the next location. No matter who the enemy was, she would kill him first. A dead enemy was no longer an enemy.
