Whether it's Haki, physical strength, or the development of Devil Fruit abilities.
"No, no, no, this time the target is not you."
Morgans lowered his voice, a fanatical glint in his eyes. "The intelligence from my informants is that the Navy Headquarters has secretly mobilized a fleet, and even an admiral is going to be deployed. The place they're going to is very remote, and the route is heavily blocked. Even my men haven't been able to find out the exact coordinates."
"general?"
Zoro, who was about to leave, paused upon hearing these two words and turned his head. "Only one admiral was sent?"
"At least on the surface, it's one."
Morgans chuckled. "But in my years of experience, this kind of thing can't be solved by just sending one admiral. The navy definitely has a backup plan, and there might be other forces operating in the shadows."
Luffy tilted his head, clearly not very interested in the news.
"So this has nothing to do with us?"
Morgans: "..."
If only one admiral is dispatched, the target will at least not be the Straw Hat Pirates.
They might not even target the Four Emperors' crews.
This is one of the reasons why Morgans personally took charge!
Even he felt a bit overwhelmed about how his subordinates should deal with these four emperors.
"Straw Hat Boy, this is a major move by the Navy! I have a feeling that this will definitely cause a huge change in the new world order! It might even be another event comparable to the Marineford War!"
Luffy took a bite of the honey cake and said, "Then you can go and film it. You're going to make a big splash, aren't you?"
"Of course I'll follow!"
Morgans flapped his wings. "But I think you might be interested in this as well."
"I'm really not interested. Our next trip is to Elrubaf."
Morgans: "..."
Looking at the expression on the face of one of the emperors of the dark underworld, Reiju finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Morgans's bird-like face was quite a sight.
As an intelligence chief who makes a living by creating big news, he has connections with many of the Four Emperors. In fact, the God Valley Incident was spread through Morgans, who was just starting out at the time.
The news that Luffy defeated two Yonko was supposed to be widely reported by the World Economic Herald, but the World Government stopped it.
Morgans was furious. He was the kind of person who was unruly and always wanted to make a big splash, which was why he came to find Luffy. He had a feeling that the Navy's secret operation would definitely cause a big stir.
Luffy remarked, "No wonder there hasn't been any update on the bounty after this incident."
He cared about this matter for a long time.
So it really was suppressed?
No matter what, defeating two Yonko would surely cause a surge in bounties, right? Turns out, the World Government suppressed it.
Luffy silently drew a little figure of the Five Elders in his mind, hoping they wouldn't catch him.
The people around were speechless.
I wonder where it will be added in the next update.
Morgans decided to try a different approach.
"Straw Hat Guy, don't be in such a hurry to refuse."
He took a step forward and lowered his voice, "I've heard that this matter is related to that man."
"Which man?" Luffy asked, chewing on his cake.
"Vegapunk".
Luffy paused for a moment.
Reiju's smile faded slightly as she looked at Morgans. "Vegapunk? That scientist?"
In terms of fame, Vegapunk is quite well-known on the high seas, and he is also the most mysterious of all the famous figures.
They claim to possess the world's most advanced technology.
"Correct."
Morgans chuckled, his eyes gleaming with even greater fervor. "The intelligence my informant has sent back is incomplete, but one thing is certain: the Navy's target this time is most likely related to that smartest man on the high seas."
"That man seems to be in some trouble now. The World Government seems to have made up its mind to take action against him. I suspect that the Navy's troop deployment this time is most likely aimed at Vegapunk's research facility."
Seeing Luffy's reaction, Morgans knew he had made the right bet; he had done a very thorough job of gathering intelligence in this area.
Currently, both Bartholomew Kuma and Supernova Bonney are on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.
They must have a very good relationship.
Morgans knew about the fact that Big Bear had been transformed into a weapon of war, and he also knew about the relationship between Big Bear and Bonnie.
Bonney, as Kuma's daughter, has always wanted to regain her father's consciousness, and the only person who could possibly do so is Vegapunk.
"Where is Vegapunk?" Luffy asked.
No matter what the Navy wants to do to Vegapunk, he will go to Vegapunk's side to help out for Bonney and Kuma.
A glint flashed in Morgans' eyes. "I don't know the exact coordinates either, but it's roughly in that direction."
He stretched out one wing and pointed westward, saying, "I suspect it should be in that sea area."
"You just said the Navy has already been deployed?" Reiju pressed.
"It has already been approved at the meeting, which is why I have inside information. One fleet has set off first, and more are still gathering. It seems that the navy does not want to make a big fuss."
Morgans said, "That's why I'm in such a hurry to find you. Right now, there are very few forces on the entire ocean capable of taking on this hot potato that is Vegapunk."
Only the Straw Hat Pirates don't care what the World Government thinks.
Morgans chuckled.
Since it involves that man's actions, the World Government will not act rashly.
Just then, footsteps came from the other end of the street.
A young woman in a white dress is walking towards us, her steps light and her posture elegant.
She had light blonde curly hair, delicate features that made her look like a doll, and a gentle yet playful smile on her lips.
"Signal, we've found you here."
She stopped a few steps away from the group, her gaze first falling on Morgans, then turning to Luffy, "Straw Hat Captain, long time no see."
Luffy looked at her and scratched his head. "You're from that music island, right?"
"Yes."
Stussy bowed slightly. "Queen of Pleasure Street, Stussy, thank you for the care of Captain Straw Hat when we were on Music Island."
Luffy's memory has also improved by leaps and bounds. Back when they were on Music Island, the Uta incident caused quite a stir, and Stussy did indeed pass on some information to them.
Although they weren't exactly close friends, they weren't enemies at all.
"What are you doing here?" Luffy asked directly.
Stussy glanced at Morgans beside him, probably already knowing what it had said, but no longer cared.
"I suppose Mr. Morgans has already mentioned it, and it's also about Vegapunk."
Morgans narrowed his eyes. "Hey, Stussy, you must have a good relationship with the World Government, right?"
"That's true, but I have my own purposes."
Stussy said, "The Navy's operation this time was encrypted with multiple layers of security. Your informant is capable, but he probably hasn't infiltrated that level yet."
"But I do know the coordinates of that place."
Luffy looked at her. "You know?"
"know."
Stussy nodded frankly, "And I also know what situation Vegapunk is facing now. The World Government has made up its mind to shut him up. The admirals on the Navy side are just a facade. The real trump card is hidden in the shadows."
She paused, looking directly at Luffy, "I'm here today to ask the Straw Hat Pirates for help."
"Requesting help?"
Reiju sized up the woman in front of her. "Whose help are you asking for?"
"For myself, and for Vegapunk."
Stussy answered without hesitation, "That man possesses too many secrets he shouldn't know, and the World Government now wants to silence him. And on the entire sea, only the Straw Hat Pirates can rescue someone from such an attack."
Luffy became serious. "Then I'm in the mood. Tell me the details."
Chapter 612 Weiwei isn't like this in front of me.
Luffy didn't want to find out who Stussy was; as long as she brought good information, that was enough.
This woman's background seems complicated, but it's enough that she can bring news of Vegapunk and help them find the so-called Egghead Island.
As for what stories or secrets she has, that's her own business. Luffy is never one to pry into other people's pasts.
People like Robin, they naturally say what they want to say when they want to.
Originally, the flight to Elbaf was supposed to be a time for relaxation, but within a short period of time, everyone returned after receiving the news.
Set sail immediately!
Everyone knows what Vegapunk means to Bonney right now, so there's nothing to delay.
“Vegapunk, I’m curious about him too.”
Luffy sat cross-legged on the VIP seat at the bow of the ship, adjusting his straw hat.
What kind of person is this genius scientist who is said to possess technology that is 500 years ahead of the world?
It's bound to be very interesting.
