One Piece: Transform into the Eight Great Demons!

Punk Hassard.

——One of the navy's scientific research bases, and also the residence of the world's number one scientist, Vegapunk.

With the support of the World Government, a huge scientific research institute was built on the island with all kinds of facilities.

For Lindsay and Crocodile, the island of Punk Hassad is closely related to them.

Everything seems to have started there.

Caesar Curran unearthed an ancient sculpture from near the remains of O'Hara and smuggled it back to Punk Hassad.

At the same time, Vegapunk was out for some reason.

[Sand Crocodile] Crocodile took this opportunity to sneak into Punk Hassad, trying to search for clues about ancient weapons.

Finally, in Caesar's secret room, Crocodile and Caesar witnessed the resurrection of the [Devil].

[Devil] Alvin Lindsay appeared in this sea!

…

above.

Crocodile leaned on the mechanical shark's dorsal fin, recalling the past in his mind, and said slowly:

"As a research base, Punk Hassad has a very pleasant climate and a stable ecology, so there will be no huge changes."

"but now……"

His eyes moved up, locking on Punk Hassad in the distance, and the corners of his eyes twitched:

"What's going on with that island?"

What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a brilliant and colorful "metropolis"!

On the huge Punk Hassad Island, huge strange buildings can be seen everywhere, composed of various simple geometric figures.

The walls of the building are equipped with a large number of giant glass windows.

Countless neon lights are located everywhere, mixed in the gaps between the islands and weird buildings, shooting a large number of light beams towards the sky.

Brilliant, colorful, colorful...

The darkness of the early hours of the morning made all of this particularly conspicuous.

Is it a celebration?

No.

Whether it’s the Music Festival in Elegia or the Devil Fruit Auction in Dressrosa, no matter which country’s “celebration” it is, it’s not as dazzling as today’s Punk Hassad!

And unlike those large-scale celebrations, Punk Hassad at this moment is very...

Quiet?

Yes, there was silence.

"Is this the work of Vegapunk!?"

Seeing the neon island getting closer and closer, everyone on the back of the mechanical shark could not help but pursed their lips.

"What the hell did he do to Punk Hassard?!"

"..."

The mechanical shark carried everyone and slowly sailed towards the gorgeous island.

…

There are many things happening at the same time at about the same time.

Malinfando, Navy Headquarters.

Marshal's Office.

Late at night, when Lindsay and others were driving towards Punk Hassad at full speed, the phone bug on the desk rang.

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

Click!

One hand decisively grabbed the phone and the phone was answered.

The person still working at the office at this time is naturally him——

Admiral of the Navy, [Wise General] Warring States Period!

How could someone as smart as him not see the World Government's plan?

Whether it's the definition of the "Dressrosa Incident" or the news about [Demon], they are all the work of the World Government!

What does the world government want to do?

No……

One should ask, what does the world government “not” want to do?

The answer is simple:

The World Government does not want to be distracted from dealing with the [Devil] while holding a temporary world conference!

From this, it is not difficult to infer the next arrangements of the World Government.

When I picked up the phone, it was true.

The one who spoke to Sengoku was one of the Five Old Stars, the God of Scientific Defense—Satan Saint Jaygolusia.

He didn't mean to chat with Warring States, but got straight to the point:

"According to the investigation, [Devil] appeared near Punk Hassad."

"Vegapunk is stationed at Punk Hassad."

"No matter what the [Devil's] purpose is, Vegapunk can never escape the control of the World Government!"

Saint Satan's voice was calm and he said slowly:

"It is the Navy's duty to arrest wanted criminals."

The implication is obviously that the Navy is required to take action to deal with the [Devil] that is gradually approaching Punk Hassad.

Of course Warring States knew this and had been mentally prepared for it.

When it comes to Vegapunk and [Devil], the navy needs to step in as a matter of course.

The only problem is...

Who is going?

The instability of [Devil] is extraordinary, and it is difficult to restrain him with "strategy" alone, not to mention that he is not acting alone.

Therefore, [Grand Staff Officer] He, who has just been idle recently, is not the best candidate to attack.

What about Cap?

In the Shampoo Islands, that guy fought against the [Devil] and successfully repelled it.

If Garp takes action, the [Devil] will probably not be able to take advantage.

But unfortunately, the situation at sea changed too quickly, and Garp was currently located in the East China Sea.

Even if we set out for Punk Hassad now, by the time Garp and his men arrive, it will be too late!

So, right now, who among the navy at the Navy Headquarters or the Grand Line is suitable to wrestle with the [Devil]?

"..."

After thinking about it, Warring States took out a phone bug

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

Bulu Bulu Bulu...

Click!

The phone was answered, and a lazy voice came from the other end, as if he was still asleep.

"Hello? Hello?"

…

Late at night, the Dressrosa ship.

It wasn't the one that had been destroyed, but the one that King Riku led the crowd on.

He led a group of escorts and set sail from Dressrosa, heading straight to the "Red Port", aiming for the Holy Land Marie Joa!

Time was tight and the sea conditions were good, so King Liku ordered to continue moving forward.

At this moment, King Liku was holding the supplementary news and said angrily:

"That's not true!"

"Have those people from the World Government tampered with the truth?"

Even so, King Riku could do nothing about it.

The World Government obviously "takes care" of Dressrosa and the Don Quixote family, otherwise once the truth is revealed, the entire Dressrosa will be defined as rebels!

By that time, Dressrosa will be helpless against the military power of the World Government!

"..."

While thinking, the lookout suddenly sounded the alarm and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is a ship coming not far away!"

"..."

King Riku put the newspaper aside, and then waved his hands to let the guards prepare for battle.

The visitor is evil, most likely a pirate!

But when the ship approached, everyone felt relieved, because the logo on the ship represented the navy.

"A Navy warship?"

"You are still driving late at night. Are you on patrol? Or is there something else?"

With doubts in mind, King Liku stood on the edge of the ship and greeted the naval soldiers on the opposite warship.

Seeing this, the navy on the warship also lifted its alert.

"It's okay, it's the ship of the franchise country 'Dressrosa'!"

"..."

The two ships passed by each other, both sides slowed down, and the guards and navy soldiers also greeted each other.

Then, a tall and thin figure opened the cabin door and wandered onto the deck.

"Oh, is the ship from the participating countries going to the World Conference?"

His tone was slow and leisurely, and he still felt a little sleepy, but he was still the highest officer on this warship.

"It's really hard work, you guys..."

The tall and thin figure stretched and stepped to a lit area.

At this point, everyone in Dressrosa was finally able to see the man's appearance clearly.

He was wearing yellow pajamas with vertical stripes and a nightcap on his head.

He has short black hair and a ring of stubble on his face.

Of course King Riku recognized the other party, after all, he had seen him countless times in the news.

It is the top combat power of the navy, one of the three generals - [Kizaru] Porusalino!

"Well, I'm sorry for making you scared."

Kizaru rubbed his eyes and said drowsily:

"Punk Hassard...well, hasn't it arrived yet?"

"Speaking of which, working overtime all night is really scary~!"
