Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"The Vinsmoke family?" Shepard X. Pitt was insensitive to pain, but Conqueror's Haki was different.

What's wrong with the ocean lately?

There are so many men with the potential to become a "domineering stunner".

"Hey, hey, hey, why are there monsters like this here?"

Sanji landed on the ground, took out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "So these are the Five Elders? They look pretty strong."

His gaze swept over the Five Elders, and his brows furrowed.

Although that kick wasn't delivered with full force, it would still seriously injure an ordinary expert. Yet this guy only took a few steps back and appeared completely unharmed.

"Does everyone in the Straw Hat crew possess Conqueror's Haki?"

Garin Sei gritted his teeth, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "Having this kind of talent only gives him the right to stand on this vast ocean!"

The original plan was for the Five Elders to gather together and join forces to suppress Straw Hat Luffy.

But now it seems that the Straw Hat crew's officers alone can hold back half of their fighting force.

Kizaru, that good-for-nothing, was held back by Kuzan; Zoro entangled Nasujuro; and that fire-wielding kid faced off against Pit.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures launched an attack simultaneously from the left and right.

"Fragrant feet!"

"Iai!"

Hancock and Gion's attacks arrived almost simultaneously. One kicked at Karin's temple, the other slashed at his waist, their movements perfectly coordinated.

"besides?"

Garin Sheng glanced at them, his lips twitching, but he still easily blocked the two men's attacks.

"Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Garin's eyes were terrifyingly sinister. "You traitors! I told you, the World Government only needs absolutely obedient dogs. You humans are just used to betraying others!"

Hancock raised her chin, looking down at Korin with an ant-like gaze: "I am the Empress of Kuja, and I only obey Luffy's orders. As for you old fogies, who wants to listen to you?"

Gion didn't say much, but simply gripped the knife in his hand tightly.

She left the Navy because she couldn't accept the darkness of the World Government, and now standing here facing the Five Elders is exactly what she wanted.

Although he hasn't awakened that aptitude yet, he still poses a threat when using the Time-Time Fruit in conjunction with Hancock.

"Arrogant!" Garin shouted angrily.

The clash of the dominant colors exploded in the air.

Both Hancock and Gion felt the pressure.

The Conqueror's Haki emanating from Garin Saint pressed down on them as if it were a tangible force, as if it were about to crush them.

The next second, as if in a combined reaction, those with this aptitude unleashed their Conqueror's Haki.

The sky seemed to be engulfed in chaos, with rolling, swirling dark clouds.

The Five Elders are very powerful.

This is everyone's most immediate feeling at this moment.

Each of the Five Elders was enveloped in a powerful aura of dominance, and the power within them was even more unfathomable, as if a pair of cold eyes were watching them.

"Now that you're here, don't think you can leave easily."

Garin took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open. "Today, the Straw Hat crew must be wiped out here."

Luffy stood at the very center of the battlefield, "Destroy us? Try it if you can."

His Conqueror's Haki crashed down.

The sky has cracked open.

At this moment, Vegapunk himself stood in front of the control panel in the laboratory, his finger resting on his head.

The holographic screen is divided into dozens of images, giving a complete view of the battle situation on the entire island.

The Straw Hat crew is engaged in a fierce battle with the Five Elders.

"Main body, are you sure you want to do this?"

Edison said nervously, "Once it starts, there's no turning back."

"A way back? I didn't know there was such a thing."

Vegapunk stuck out his tongue, revealing his usual goofy expression, but his eyes were surprisingly serious. "From the moment I preserved Kuma's last consciousness, there was no turning back."

The highest authorities of the world government have arrived.

The only unexpected thing was that the Straw Hat crew actually managed to stop all five elders.

Vegapunk was somewhat taken aback.

"According to the original plan, that video recording was supposed to play automatically after you die. What do we do now?"

"What plan? Never mind what plan it is. Those Five Elders are after you, aren't they? Let's get out of here quickly," Bonnie said hastily.

Just now, Vegapunk had told Bonney the whole truth about Kuma's transformation.

Bonnie also learned about what happened to Kuma, and that he accepted Vegapunk's modifications all for her sake.

The bad guys are all those guys from the World Government.

Bonney knew that after her mother Ginny passed away, Kuma found Vegapunk, hoping that the technology there could heal her.

At the time, the World Government was searching for suitable test subjects for the Pacifistas' human modification program.

So Big Bear volunteered to become the test subject.

Franky added, "Bonnie, I discovered before that Dr. Vegapunk actually tampered with the modifications when he was modifying Kuma."

"If the Five Elders' demands are met, Kuma should have his personality completely erased and become a pure weapon."

However, in the final stage of the modification, Dr. Vegapunk secretly implanted a protective program that preserved a portion of Kuma's consciousness storage area.

Although these conscious thoughts were dormant most of the time, he still retained at least a part of himself as the bear.

Vegapunk believes he has made many mistakes, but at least he has not completely lost his moral compass as a human being.

So Bonnie naturally forgave her old friend.

The bad guys are all outside.

Bonney had no intention of handing over Vegapunk to those World Government agents who came to claim her life.

Beside them, York, bound hand and foot, listened to their conversation, his eyes darting around, a barely perceptible sneer playing on his lips.

It turned out to be the case.

That's it!

She chose to betray in order to become the real Vegapunk, but she didn't expect that the Mother Spark's existence had already been discovered.

That old fox in real life never intended for her to know any of this from the very beginning!

York's teeth clenched so tightly that a surge of betrayed anger welled up in his chest, and then he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"What six people equal rights, what we are all Vegapunks, it's all bullshit!"

You, in your true form, actually teamed up with Shakyamuni and the others to give me a demonstration, and even lied to me that the matter of the Mother Fire Seed had been resolved.

So you all knew what I was doing all along, didn't you? You, the original entity, knew all along that I had passed the information to the World Government!

York got angrier and angrier as he talked, his face turning red. "I'm clearly the one who's most like you!"

What's wrong with desire? What's wrong with wanting to become the real Vegapunk? By what right do you decide who is the original and who is the clone?

My mind is no less sharp than any of yours; I just want what I deserve!

As a result, the Vegapunk clones only glanced back at her and then ignored her.

York: "......"

The real heartbreak isn't the big argument, but the fact that after the big argument, no one cares!

York broke down immediately. "Do you know what kind of existence the World Government is? Do you know how terrifying the Five Elders are? What will happen if you go against those guys? Do you even know?"

It's already quite good that Big Bear has lost consciousness; at least he's still alive, at least his body is still intact.

What happened to the rest?

Those deemed a threat by the world government, those who knew too much, had even their very existence erased!

After she finished speaking, no one paid any attention to her.

York cried and screamed, "Please...please pay attention to me!"

Why did I suddenly become someone who reads the air?

These guys are bullying me!

Vegapunk completely ignored York and looked at Franky, saying, "There are some things I need you to do."

Franky pointed to himself: "Me?"

"Yes, it's you."

Vegapunk stuck out his tongue, then put it back in. "I know you're trustworthy people. I've been keeping an eye on you guys for a long time."

His gaze fell on Franky's mechanical arm. "You once modified your own body using my designs, so in a sense you are also my student."

Franky's chest puffed out unconsciously, with a hint of pride.

Being called a student by the world's greatest scientist is quite exciting.

"so,"

Vegapunk's voice became solemn, "I'm entrusting my clones to you."

"what?"

Franky's eyes widened, nearly shaking his sunglasses off. He quickly took them off and asked, "Doctor, what do you mean?"

“Edison, Pythagoras, Atlas, Lilith... and Stuci who brought you here.”

Vegapunk read their names one by one. “They are all me, but not entirely me. They have the right to continue to exist, to continue to think, to continue to explore the frontiers of science. Franky, take them away from here and keep them safe.”
