Chapter 169 Infiltrating Egghead Island
Chapter 169 Infiltrating Egghead Island
In fact, Luo Ji really didn't want to reunite with the Whitebeard Pirates.
After all, when two powerful figures meet, they must exchange greetings, perhaps even a clash of Conqueror's Haki to crack the sky and test each other's strength.
But now Luo Ji wants to sneak into the village and take down the robot Emmett, without making such a commotion with Whitebeard and alerting the enemy.
In case Luo Ji and his group haven't even landed on Egghead Island yet, the Five Elders and Im have already laid an ambush on the island.
What's the point of playing then!
Before we get our hands on the robot Emmett, we should keep a low profile.
"Luo Ji said that we must not alert the enemy, otherwise the alliance between Luo Ji's World Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates may attract the attention of the Five Elders and the King of the World."
Fire Fist Ace explained to his brothers, but he also felt that Luo Ji was being a bit too cautious.
With their two Yonko pirate crews joining forces, they might even be able to defeat the Five Elders.
"Just keep heading southeast!"
Ace shouted to the navigator again to continue their journey.
Soon, they will be able to meet in front of that technological island.
"All right!"
Marco the Phoenix and his crew had no choice but to accept this reason: it was indeed not advisable to engage in large-scale battles before Whitebeard's hidden injuries had healed.
"understand!"
The navigator immediately adjusted the Moby Dick's course, heading towards an area that was not in the direction indicated by the log pointer.
Even they didn't know what kind of islands they would encounter next.
Egghead Island, Egherd, was clearly not on their list of targets.
After the Whitebeard Pirates continued their journey for some time.
In a certain sea area on the other side.
The Luo Ji World Group's airship, Ark Proverb, has arrived at the outer edge of Egghead Island's waters and is about to make a landing on the island.
"Big Bear, this time it's just the two of us going to the island first, getting our hands on that robot, and then slowly taking down Vegapunk and the entire island!"
On the bow of the Ark Proverb, Luo Ji estimated the approximate arrival time of the Whitebeard Pirates and set a time for exploring Egghead Island.
"Captain, are you sure you don't need us with you?!"
Huang Mu and Yi Xiao asked earnestly, since they also had the ability to fly and should be able to help.
"We need to keep a low profile this time. Too many people will make it easier for the island's surveillance Den Den Mushi to detect us."
If the Five Elders are indeed on the island and are discovered, then Luo Ji and his group will face an attack from the Five Elders and Im.
Therefore, we must not be discovered until we find the robot Emmett.
"Then let's all enter your scroll world! If you encounter any danger, you can release us to fight immediately!"
Yamato quickly said that she didn't want to wait here idly.
The other crew members echoed this sentiment.
They don't really like splitting up.
"I was originally planning to have you wait here for the Whitebeard Pirates, but since that's the case, let's all move together!"
Seeing the enthusiastic crew members, Luo Ji had no choice but to put everyone and the Ark Maxims into the scroll world.
If the Whitebeard Pirates come, let them handle it themselves.
No one from the Luo Ji Pirates greeted them.
After gathering everyone away, Luo Ji changed himself and Da Xiong into white outfits and masks befitting their status as a couple of secret agents.
Then, using Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability, he flashed directly into Egghead Island.
Luo Ji saw that there were a large number of warships docked at the port and shore of Egghead Island.
Luo Ji immediately thought of the Five Elders' fleet when he saw a fleet of this size.
There are actually five elders on Egghead Island now?
Naro and Kuma need to be even more careful, lest they be ambushed by the Five Elders and Im.
"Big Bear, let's sneak onto the island and find that robot first."
Seeing the heavily guarded Egghead Island, Luo Ji could only proceed with caution.
Once I get my hands on the Conqueror's Haki Knot on the robot Emmett, Narogi will stop eating beef and can indulge in all sorts of fun!
"it is good!"
As always, Da Xiong remained silent and composed, leading Luo Ji to sneak onto the island.

While Luo Ji had already begun his secret operation, the intelligence that the Whitebeard Pirates had appeared in the waters around Victory Island and were moving in a certain direction had already reached the hands of Stussy, the Dark Emperor of the Underground and Queen of the Pleasure District.
"The sea area the Whitebeard Pirates are heading to...it looks familiar!!!"
Stussy suddenly stood up, holding the intelligence, his hands trembling slightly. This felt like Eggman Island, where Dr. Vegapunk lived!
"How is this possible! Was it an accident?! The Whitebeard Pirates couldn't possibly know the location of Egghead Island!!"
Stussy broke out in a cold sweat. What were these Yonko pirates doing in that area of the sea for no reason?
If the Whitebeard Pirates discovered Egghead Island, would they land on the island to explore it, or launch a direct attack to plunder it?
If that's the case, wouldn't Dr. Vegapunk be in great danger?
Although Stussy's clone prototype, Barkingom Stussy, once said while working with Dr. Vegapunk that he was Newgate's lover.
However, Whitebeard probably couldn't accept Vegapunk and Miss Bakkin's colleague relationship and thus abandoned the plan to plunder Egghead Island.
Whether the Whitebeard Pirates stumbled into the waters around Egghead Island by accident or went there intentionally, Stussy was a little unsure.
However, she immediately reported the news to Dr. Vegapunk first, and then passed the message on to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.
Stussy immediately took out a special Den Den Mushi and dialed Vegapunk's Den Den Mushi.
Vegapunk, who was on Egghead Island, had just finished his meeting with Satan Saint and returned to his research institute.
Stussy's sudden Den Den Mushi ring startled Vegapunk, making him tremble.
"What! The Whitebeard Pirates might have entered the waters around Egghead Island?"
As the Den Den Mushi connected, Vegapunk received some rather bad news.
However, he wasn't too flustered.
After all, there's Admiral Kizaru on the island now, and one of the Five Elders, Satan.
Ever since the Five Elders revealed their teleportation magic array ability on Liuluo Island in the West Blue, Vegapunk has been well aware of how terrifying the Five Elders are.
The Five Elders, who seem to be a single entity, are truly terrifying.
Whether the Whitebeard Pirates stumbled upon Egghead Island by accident or came specifically for it, they were destined for misfortune.
They might even face a full-scale siege by the Five Elders, Kizaru, or even that monster that has never appeared.
When Stussy heard that Kizaru and Satan were both on Egghead Island, he breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Dr. Vegapunk should be out of danger.
However, she still reminded Vegapunk to be careful.
After all, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability is extremely powerful.
They might not even be able to handle Kizaru and the Five Elders.
After discussing it with Vegapunk, Stussy then uploaded the message to the World Government's CP organization.
As for how the World Government handles the situation, and whether it will notify the Navy Headquarters, that's none of her business as an intelligence spy.
Perhaps the Whitebeard Pirates will actually clash with Kizaru and the Five Elders, or perhaps nothing will happen at all.
After all, the elderly Whitebeard had to think carefully about whether he could take action after seeing the powerful force on Egghead Island.
The Whitebeard Pirates don't even want to mess with the Celestial Dragons, let alone the Five Elders, the highest authority in the world.
