Two of the Five Elders and seven CP0 agents followed Vegapunk to the deep center of Egghead Island. They soon saw the Mother Flame they urgently wanted!
At this moment, the Mother Flame was placed inside a huge, see-through glass house. Everyone could see the Mother Flame burning fiercely inside through the glass.
The instant Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling Saint saw the Mother Flame, their calm and collected expressions immediately changed.
The two stared intensely at the Mother Flame inside, their eyes full of greed and desire. In contrast, the seven CP0 agents behind them looked incredibly calm.
In another space, Atlas and Pythagoras were carefully watching the situation outside the see-through glass house.
"Get ready. The moment they enter, separate them immediately and send them to the designated spaces!" Atlas said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Pythagoras confidently assured.
...
"Sirs, that is the Mother Flame..." Vegapunk said, pointing to the terrifying flames inside.
Then he took out a remote control and pressed a button. A thick glass door slowly opened.
The instant the glass door opened, a strong heatwave rushed out!
But the temperature was still within their tolerance range.
The two Five Elders also sensed the powerful flame energy contained within the flames. They were now extremely delighted.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter and Figarland Garling Saint exchanged a look, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
They both felt that this was a sure thing!
Their World Government's ancient weapon, Uranus, finally had the right energy source to activate it!
The next moment,
The two Five Elders moved, heading towards the glass house. The seven CP0 agents immediately followed.
Just then, the instant they passed through the glass door, the space suddenly shook slightly.
Just as they were about to ask Vegapunk what was happening, they could no longer see each other!
At this moment, only Saint Shepherd Ju Peter was inside the see-through glass house.
By this point, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter knew that Vegapunk was behind this!
So he immediately retreated quickly towards the door, but no matter how he moved, he couldn't leave the area of the see-through glass house.
A very bad feeling instantly flooded his mind!
"Vegapunk, what are you trying to do!" Saint Shepherd Ju Peter looked at Vegapunk and shouted angrily in a deep voice.
But Vegapunk outside ignored him. He naturally turned around and looked towards a spot that Saint Shepherd Ju Peter found puzzling.
"Ryuen, you can start. Remember to control the burning range..." Vegapunk shouted.
The instant he heard the name Ryuen, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's eyes widened in horror.
Vegapunk was actually cooperating with the Dream Investigation Team, and this cooperation was targeting the World Government!
"Bastard!"
"Vegapunk, how dare you betray the World Government!" Saint Shepherd Ju Peter roared angrily at Vegapunk.
His fear reached its peak!
At the same time, he immediately began his human-beast transformation and used Conqueror's Haki to cover his entire body.
Just then, the Mother Flame behind him began to change, turning white-gold in the blink of an eye!
Terrifying heat instantly filled the entire see-through glass house!
"Ah!!"
"Bastard!!!"
"Lord Imu, help..."
"Boom...!!!"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's words were cut short as the terrifying flames instantly engulfed him!
His powerful Haki defense ultimately failed to withstand Ryuen's absolute heat.
The terrifying white-gold flames instantly turned him into gas, leaving not even ashes behind.
When everything calmed down again, most of the glass house had been melted, and the surrounding facilities had suffered some damage.
But Vegapunk breathed a sigh of relief.
Because this minor damage was still within his acceptable range. At least he didn't have to wait for a major repair after this incident.
Just then, Ryuen and Reiki walked out from the next room.
"Vegapunk, that old man shouted for Imu to save him at the end. Do you think he's contacted Imu back in Mary Geoise?" Ryuen asked as he walked towards Vegapunk.
Vegapunk shook his head and replied confidently:
"Impossible. First of all, he's in another space, in a different dimension from the outside world. Also, Egghead Island's defense shield is closed, blocking all bio-electric signals. Unless they have communication methods more powerful than mine, they can't send out any information! Most importantly, he and Imu are in different spatial dimensions. So it's impossible for them to contact each other."
After listening to Vegapunk, Ryuen nodded slightly and said:
"That's good... Where's that old Figarland guy? Has he started fighting with Kuina?"
Vegapunk didn't respond immediately. At this time, Atlas and Pythagoras also came out.
"Not yet, but it'll be soon..." Atlas replied to Ryuen.
Then, Pythagoras held a device and pressed one of the buttons. Everyone saw the space where Garling Saint and Kuina were.
But Garling Saint and Kuina couldn't see them.
"That's kind of strange..."
"They haven't started fighting right away?" Ryuen said, looking at the two who were facing each other as if they were nearby.
At this moment, the instant he saw Kuina, Garling Saint understood that Vegapunk had betrayed the World Government!
It seemed that this Mother Flame was a trap targeting the World Government!
Outside,
Reiki looked at the old man with the moon-shaped head, really wanting to rush in and turn him to stone, but she looked at Kuina and held back.
"Ryuen, that little girl Kuina should be the second strongest on your ship, right?" Vegapunk suddenly asked.
He suddenly remembered that the Devil Fruit Kuina ate was a copy of the Azure Dragon Fruit that he had created in Punk Hazard.
The Devil Fruit he thought was a failure.
"That's right!"
"Kuina's swordsmanship is very strong. When her sword becomes a black blade, the title of world's greatest swordsman will probably change hands." Ryuen said softly, looking at Kuina's figure.
"World's greatest... She's really a powerful woman..." Pythagoras said with some emotion.
The others didn't speak, because the two inside were preparing to fight.
