A few days later, Egghead Island
The waves lapped against the shore as the warship smoothly docked.
On the deck, Jin-An looked at the island before him, his mind filled with thoughts.
Vegapunk emerged from the ship's cabin, his gaze sweeping over the picturesque island.
"This little island is quite nice."
A neatly dressed CP agent stepped forward and said respectfully:
"Of course, this is one of the islands directly controlled by the World Government, possessing the most complete research facilities in the world."
He bowed slightly and continued:
"Dr. Vegapunk, please feel at ease and conduct your research here from now on."
Vegapunk nodded, responding with a smile:
"It's a good place for research..."
With that, he took the lead and walked towards the interior of the island.
Borsalino and the others followed in succession, their eyes filled with their own thoughts.
Just as Jin-An was about to follow and tour the island, a hand abruptly blocked his path.
"Vice Admiral Jin-An, please stop."
The CP agent said coldly.
Jin-An frowned, his tone laced with displeasure.
"I am also a member of the escort team for Vegapunk."
The CP agent glanced at Jin-An indifferently, his gaze devoid of emotion.
"Now that we have safely arrived at our destination, your mission is complete."
His voice was cold and impersonal.
"Other than World Government personnel and the Navy Science Unit, no one else is allowed to enter Egghead Island."
A hint of icy coldness appeared in his eyes.
"Without the permission of the Five Elders, anyone who steps onto Egghead Island will be killed without mercy!"
Jin-An took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger, his fist clenched and then released.
He looked at the other party calmly, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"It seems the World Government really 'values' me."
The CP agent didn't care, still maintaining that indifferent expression.
"This is the order of the Five Elders."
Jin-An sneered inwardly, but showed nothing on his face, nodding.
"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you."
He turned and left, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
To be honest, he was really disgusted.
Borsalino stood beside Jin-An at some point, a playful smile hanging on his lips.
"It seems they're giving you special attention, it's really scary."
Jin-An smiled helplessly, "These CP agents are really troublesome."
Borsalino gently patted Jin-An's shoulder, his tone tinged with mockery.
"Enjoy this 'special treatment'."
Jin-An nodded, his eyes unwavering, "I will."
"Then I'll go first..."
Borsalino waved to Jin-An, turning into a beam of light and catching up with the group ahead.
Just as Jin-An was about to board the warship to leave, the CP agent reached out again to block Jin-An.
Jin-An's temper was instantly ignited, and he said coldly,
"What is it now?"
The CP agent's voice had no emotional fluctuations, as if reading a meaningless announcement:
"These warships belong to the Navy Science Unit..."
Jin-An almost laughed out of anger, the ship he came on was now not available for the return trip.
He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his anger, and sneered,
"Good, good, good!!!"
The CP agent may have seen Jin-An's anger, but he didn't care, coldly pointing to a small warship at the port.
"The Five Elders have sent a message that the G5 Branch will be attacked by pirates, this warship will escort you to the G5 Branch."
A cold light flashed in Jin-An's eyes, and he coldly looked at these lackeys of the World Government.
"I've noted today's events."
The CP agent remained expressionless, making a gesture to signal Jin-An to leave.
Jin-An turned and left, no longer lingering.
He knew that continuing to talk would only add to his troubles.
He walked towards the small warship, already planning his next move in his mind.
He would definitely make those who looked down on him pay the price.
Jin-An walked to the small warship, during this time he had already thought of the means of revenge.
He looked up at the simple ship, his contempt and anger towards the World Government growing even more.
Once on board, he quickly ordered the crew to set sail, heading towards the G5 Branch.
The sea breeze howled, Jin-An stood on the deck, gazing into the distance, his mind in turmoil.
The World Government's hostility was already so obvious, he had to be more vigilant and cautious.
He knew that this obstruction was not only a warning to him, but also a test of him.
He had to be more careful to retreat completely from this power game.
He clenched his fist, silently muttering, "Since you're tripping me up in the open, then I will return the favor in the same way."
At this moment, the ship was sailing on the vast sea, and Jin-An's determination gradually strengthened.
Whether it was the pirate attack or the conspiracy of the World Government, he would meet them head-on.
Jin-An looked at Egghead Island getting further and further away, the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
"Let those pirates come, no matter how many people come, I'll take them on."
He took a deep breath, the salty smell of the sea breeze made him feel extremely clear-headed.
He turned and returned to the cabin, starting to formulate a detailed battle plan, preparing for the upcoming battle.
......
Vegapunk stood at the highest point of Egghead Island, his gaze following the departing warship, his coat fluttering in the wind.
His eyes, through thick lenses, watched the distant sea, his heart filled with complex emotions.
He was glad that he had finished discussing with Jin-An on the warship, because since arriving on this island, he could feel pairs of eyes constantly staring at him, monitoring his every move.
"Doctor, we can start the development of 'Pacifista'."
A researcher belonging to the World Government walked over, interrupting his thoughts.
"Vice Admiral Borsalino is also ready."
Vegapunk smiled slightly, his expression somewhat helpless, but his eyes still shone.
He knew he couldn't escape his current situation and could only temporarily cooperate with their plan.
He withdrew his gaze and slowly turned around to face the researcher.
"Coming..."
Vegapunk nodded and walked towards the man.
The researcher led him towards the laboratory, Borsalino was already waiting at the door, seeing Vegapunk coming over, he casually greeted him,
"It's really scary, it's starting so soon."
Vegapunk smiled, already accustomed to Borsalino's exaggerated tone.
He pushed open the door of the laboratory, seeing the various equipment and instruments already prepared inside, he couldn't help but sigh, the facilities on this island were indeed world-class.
"I hope this thing can really bring peace..."
He sighed softly, returned to his workbench, and plunged into his busy research work.
