Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.
Inside a spacious, pristine white hall within a castle complex hundreds of meters high.
The empty hall contained only a sofa and a table.
One of the Five Elders put down the papers in his hand and tossed them onto the table:
"I truly never expected this."
"For someone to actually reach that realm."
The burly Five Elder who appeared during the Battle of God Valley spoke:
"Should we eliminate them."
The Five Elder, clad in a bathrobe and holding a demon blade, said:
"Eliminating them would be a waste."
"Talent like this is better off serving the government."
The other two Five Elders said nothing further.
They nodded in agreement.
Thus, the fate of this scientist, five hundred years ahead of world technology, was easily decided in a few words...
-------------
Outside the perimeter of the Sealed Mechanical Animal Forest.
A square block of snow suddenly lifted slightly.
A CP organization member in black lifted the cover of the pit.
He took out a telescope and peered into the forest.
The dense red dots moving within the forest sent shivers down his spine.
Suddenly, a pair of red dots seemed to look in their direction.
Startled, he quickly lowered the cover and returned to the pit.
He looked at his two remaining companions:
"What should we do, boss has already led everyone in an hour ago."
"Not a single bit of news."
One of the CP members, whose body was wrapped in bandages.
He thought of the terrifying cyborg animals and took a deep breath:
"We wait, for orders."
"Those creatures are too terrifying."
The CP member who had just scouted expressed his concern:
"What if something happens, what will be the punishment from above."
The bandaged CP member retorted:
"Then go scout around yourself."
The CP member who had just scouted thought of those modified creatures capable of firing missiles and lasers from various parts of their bodies.
He shivered, forced a smile, and said nothing.
The bandaged CP member gave him a disdainful look.
Brr brr~ Brr brr~
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
The three of them tensed up, fearing they might receive a new mission.
The bandaged CP member, suppressing his trembling hands, picked up the Den Den Mushi.
He was initially nervous, but then repeatedly said yes.
His excitement was evident.
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he let out a long sigh.
He looked at the CP member who had just scouted:
"You go to the town behind us and meet the Marine branch soldiers."
"Surround this cursed forest."
"Do not let anyone escape."
"Wait for reinforcements."
"........"
Deep within the Sealed Mechanical Animal Forest, Vegapunk's laboratory.
Within the massive steel structures, hurried researchers rushed everywhere.
They were packing up all sorts of equipment and data at the fastest pace.
Vegapunk directed some people to pack important documents.
Looking at Queen and Caesar, who were also directing others in the distance, he couldn't help but roar:
"Idiots!!!"
"Have bacteria eaten your brains!!"
"Are those microorganisms hanging on your necks!!"
"Fine to conduct human experiments."
"But you actually captured so many people from one place!!!"
"And you captured them!"
"You still haven't finished capturing them!"
"Are you pigs!!!!!!"
"I*****"
"*******"
The two who were directing their researchers were publicly berated, feeling embarrassed.
But they couldn't retort, as it was indeed their fault this time.
They could only suppress their anger.
Queen was relatively calm, but Caesar, who was younger.
Although a genius, his personality from childhood had been cruel, arrogant, sinister, and cunning.
Already jealous of Vegapunk, he became even more resentful at this moment.
This also sowed the seeds for future conflicts between the two while working for the government.
After scolding for a while, Vegapunk regained some reason.
Suppressing his anger, he stopped wasting time.
He also joined the effort to pack the data.
----------
Outside the perimeter of the Sealed Mechanical Animal Forest.
The Kingdom's Royal Guard and the Marine branch soldiers from Balgimore had already arrived.
They were stationed around the perimeter, strictly monitoring the area.
The Marine branch chief's Den Den Mushi had never been hung up, reporting the situation in real-time.
As it involved government taboos.
The Den Den Mushi was directly connected to Marshal Kong.
Marshal Kong's voice came through:
"Titus, strictly monitor the movements of the illegal research organization MADS."
"Do not let anyone escape."
"Sakazuki is already on his way."
"Before Sakazuki arrives."
"Even if you have to die, you must stop the MADS organization."
Upon hearing Sakazuki's name, Branch Chief Titus felt greatly relieved.
He took a deep breath:
"I guarantee the mission will be completed!!!"
He looked around at the soldiers and shouted:
"Reinforcements are arriving soon."
"Vice Admiral Sakazuki is already on his way."
"All of you, get your spirits up!"
"We cannot let any member of this evil organization escape."
The surrounding Marine soldiers shouted in unison:
"Yes!!!!"
The invigorated soldiers vigilantly watched the dark forest.
After a short while, they could no longer contain themselves and began whispering amongst themselves.
"Hey, did you hear that!"
"Heard it!"
"Vice Admiral Sakazuki!"
"Sugoi!!"
"I never expected to have the chance to see Vice Admiral Sakazuki in such a remote place."
"He's the hero who killed the great pirate Whitebeard."
"I really want to see Vice Admiral Sakazuki quickly!"
"Yeah!!!"

Edge of the Seydia Sea.
A colossal fiery red figure flew into this sea domain perpetually shrouded in dark clouds.
The golden roc made of lava had four wings, each extending over a thousand meters.
The tips of its wings spewed burning magma as propulsion.
It advanced rapidly.
The magma falling from the sky landed in the sea.
Instead of cooling and solidifying, it burned slowly.
As if it possessed an inexhaustible fuel source.
In this eternally frozen sea domain, it melted a channel several nautical miles wide.
Leading directly to the mechanical island at the center of the sea, the Kingdom of Balgimore...
