Chapter 288 Top Secret Information on Uranus, the Heavenly King!

Inside the cloud elevator at Melvure Island.

At this moment, Bane is descending from the island to the sea level port.

Inside the elevator, Ian held some documents in her hand and calmly reported the latest intelligence to Bane.

"Intelligence from the Revolutionary Army indicates that they have witnessed multiple sightings of super-large transport fleets traveling from Mary Geoise to the East Blue, escorted by various kingdoms of the East Blue and local naval branch bases. It is speculated that Mary Geoise is transferring important assets," Ain said, showing the photos in his hand.

Bane, also holding a document, glanced at the photo in Ain's hand, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Looks like they're not planning to hold Mary Geoise to the death and are retreating to the East Sea. Heh, Tachira Wolves, huh?"

"It should be the Techira Wolf. Only the 'Bridge-Building Country' in the East Sea has enough height to withstand potential future disasters," Ain said after thinking for a moment.

"Let the Revolutionary Army continue their infiltration in the East China Sea to gather intelligence," Bane ordered. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Did you ask Dragon about what he was supposed to ask? What exactly is the Holy Mother's Flame? Is it the legendary Ancient Weapon, Uranus? How much energy does Mary Geoise possess to activate this devastating weapon?"

Bane certainly knew that the world's ruling government must have some trump cards up its sleeve.

How could he not pay attention to the Holy Mother's Flame, a mysterious weapon that completely destroyed the Kingdom of Lulusia with a single blow and even created a terrifying abyss on the sea that took days to recover?

This thing was created by Vegapunk.

Vegapunk is currently organizing some materials from the Poneglyphs for the Revolutionary Army, while also helping to cure Bartholomew Kuma and restore his sanity.

As agreed, the Revolutionary Army will be fully integrated into the New World government system and abide by the rules set by the New Navy. Moreover, at this stage, Bane has indeed repeatedly ordered the Revolutionary Army to carry out his will, and they have not refused.

Clearly, the two sides are currently inclined to merge, with their new navy taking the lead. Therefore, Bane did not want to be too harsh on the Revolutionary Army and did not urge them to send Dr. Vegapunk back to Melvure.

"Yes, thirteen minutes ago, the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, Sabo, arrived at the port below Melville. He came to deliver this intelligence in person. Young Master, you can meet with him before you leave now," Ain said immediately.

"Huh?" Bane asked, slightly surprised. "Is there something we can't discuss directly with a Den Den Mushi, or send the information over?"

"Mr. Dragon has invoked the Top Secret Information Regulations. This intelligence complies with the relevant regulations, so any form of signal transmission must be strictly prohibited. It must be delivered by a single paper document to a designated person," Ain explained.

Although Melvure has very comprehensive anti-eavesdropping and counter-signal tracking equipment, theoretically it is unlikely that there will be any possibility of intelligence leakage.

However, considering the various people, including civilians, that Melvure has absorbed over the years, it has a population of over a million.

In a world with a large and complex population, even within elite units, the possibility of spies cannot be ruled out. Therefore, when it comes to such top-secret information, no amount of caution is excessive.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!

"That serious?" Bane raised an eyebrow. "Looks like it really involves Ancient Weapons? Vegapunk is really something else."

As they were saying this, the elevator quickly arrived at the lowest level of the port. The doors opened, and Bane and Ain walked out together.

In the distance, at the naval port, a huge battleship was docked, and a large number of new naval personnel were boarding the battleship in an orderly manner. Several other standard naval warships were also preparing to set sail.

Borsalino and Sakazuki were standing by the boarding stairs of the battleship. Borsalino was gesturing wildly, pointing at the warship and the special weaponry worn by the new elite naval members. He was clearly trying to educate Sakazuki about Melvure's military technology.

This time, Bane is also preparing to take Sakazuki and Borsalino to the vicinity of the New World Gateway to join Zephyr and the others in attacking Mary Geoise.

As for Melvure, the new Navy Chief of Staff, Sengoku, will be in charge.

As a strategist and a veteran high-ranking member of the World Government, having served as a naval admiral for many years, Sengoku was very knowledgeable about the operation of many systems within the World Government.

In terms of combat power, their new navy has gained an absolute advantage. At the same time, it is impossible for the Melvure headquarters to be without a strong person in charge. Therefore, after several discussions, Sengoku was finally entrusted with this responsibility.

He doesn't need to go to Mary Geoise to fight. What he needs to do now is to further refine the framework of the New World Government system and discuss and coordinate with the various organizations that have announced their participation and support for Melvure to determine how to quickly fill the core of the New World Government after the war.

Given the intelligence and abilities of the Warring States period, this kind of thing should have been a piece of cake. It was Bane who had to handle it. His political acumen was too low; he simply couldn't manage it, nor did he have a deep understanding of the operating logic of the world's governments.

Furthermore, to prevent Sakazuki from doing anything he shouldn't, although everyone felt that Sakazuki wouldn't lose his mind, Bane still decided to take Sakazuki with him.

Sakazuki understood what Bane was worried about, but he didn't mind. At the same time, he also wanted to go to Mary Geoise to make up for the pain he had suffered during this time, so he readily agreed to go with Bane.

Ignoring Borsalino and Sakazuki's boasting for the moment, Bane had just stepped out of the elevator when he saw Sabo sitting on a stone bench not far away, clutching a heavy document bag tightly in his hand, his expression still quite vigilant, surrounded by many Revolutionary Army guards.

This was actually the first time Bane had ever seen Sabo in person. The last time in Eghardt, only Dragon was there, and during the great riot at the Mary Geoise World Conference, Bane only saw Sabo from afar and did not have any interaction with him.

Upon seeing Bane, Sabo's expression relaxed considerably. He dismissed the Revolutionary Army guards around him and immediately stepped forward, saying, "Nice to meet you, General Bane. I am Otruk Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army under the New World Government."

After a slight pause, he said with a bright smile, "Of course, I haven't used the surname 'Otruk' for a long time. You can just call me Sabo."

"Is this the surname of the former Grand Duke of the Kingdom of East Blue Goa, and the current royal family? Are you of noble birth?" Bane raised an eyebrow, pretending not to know, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, but actually, I only remembered my lost memories recently when I met Mr. Garp." Sabo scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "When I was young, I was attacked by a Celestial Dragon, but fortunately, Mr. Dragon saved me. Although my life was not in danger, I lost my past memories. In fact, I can be considered Mr. Garp's adopted grandson, after all, Ace, Luffy, and I are sworn brothers."

"Oh?" Bane feigned surprise. "I didn't expect you two to have such a connection, hahaha."

After a brief self-introduction and some pleasantries, Sabo immediately handed the documents in his hand to Bane, saying, "General, these are the documents you asked Mr. Dragon to find regarding Dr. Vegapunk's top-secret research in Eghardt."

Bane nodded and glanced at Ian.

Ain immediately waved his hand, ordering the naval soldiers guarding Bane to disperse and remain on alert. Webber, Bane's bodyguard, also took out a signal and light wave jammer from his pocket, blocking all signals around Bane and interfering with the light waves, preventing external filming equipment from spying on him.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Only then did Bane tear open the file folder and ask, "Have you looked at the documents inside?"

"To be honest, I was in charge of this matter, so I know all the details," Sabo replied quickly without hiding anything.

"Although I haven't seen it yet, I guess that the Holy Mother's Flame is the Ancient Weapon Uranus, right?" Bane pulled out the document and asked.

Sabo's expression darkened, and he nodded seriously, saying, "That's right. It was only in the final stage of the Mother Flame energy research that Dr. Vegapunk truly learned about this matter. He intended to stop the research at that time, but it was too late. Jaigolusia Satan, who also possessed extremely high scientific research standards and was then the God of Science and Defense of the Five Elders, took over some subsequent projects and quickly completed the adaptation and modification of the Mother Flame, which is the ancient weapon Uranus."

"Adaptation and modification? Vegapunk is planning to stop it? Didn't he know this from the beginning?" Bane asked with some doubt.

"I don't know. Initially, the funds and tasks allocated by the World Government were to research a new, efficient, and stable energy source. You may not know this, but Dr. Vegapunk has always been committed to solving the problem of energy scarcity. In his view, the reason why there is so much misfortune in the world is because of insufficient productivity, and the reason why productivity cannot meet demand is because of insufficient energy. As long as the fundamental problem of energy is solved, the development in all aspects can gradually improve the world's situation, and perhaps everyone in the world will be able to live a prosperous life as a result," Sabo explained.

Bane thought about it for a moment and it seemed to make sense, and Vegapunk's line of thinking was generally in line with common sense.

Without saying much, Bane quickly began to look at the documents inside.

As Sabo said, Vegapunk's initial research was simply about energy. The Mother Spark was his research result. His starting point was not to develop any weapons of mass destruction. However, in the final stages of the project, the World Government used it on an ancient device.

At the time, Vegapunk didn't quite understand what it was, but later he discovered that it was the legendary ancient weapon, Uranus's energy casket!

The World Government has always held Uranus, the Heavenly King, but due to the great war hundreds of years ago, Uranus was damaged and its energy equipment was completely destroyed. For hundreds of years, it could not be activated until the birth of the Mother Flame!

This efficient and stable energy source was created by Vegapunk using ancient technology, and it is perfectly suited for Uranus. The World Government intends to use this method to completely revive this terrifying Uranus!

After discovering this fact, Dr. Vegapunk immediately wanted to end the research, but failed. Satan Saint quickly took over the subsequent energy adaptation research and made the Mother Flame truly combine with Uranus. However, in order to cover up the truth, since the laws of the world government clearly stipulate that no one is allowed to research or even search for ancient weapons.

They wouldn't dare to be so reckless as to openly and honestly use it.

So Uranus was given the name "Our Lady of Flames".

Replace the skin before use!

Realizing he couldn't stop it, Dr. Vegapunk immediately altered the Mother Spark's technology and destroyed a lot of data. This prevented Satan from continuously obtaining Mother Spark energy. It was at this time that they realized Vegapunk seemed to have some unspeakable secret. For example, how did he recognize Uranus's energy casket?

How could someone who hasn't read the official historical texts possibly know this?

Following this lead, the investigation uncovered Vegapunk's secret research into ancient scripts and technologies, which subsequently triggered the Eghardt incident.
