The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The East China Sea plague is spreading quietly, and the outside world is still immersed in the end of the big event. The two forces that have been exposed have aroused endless reverie among people.

The ones who were most implicated were Vegapunk and his clones. Every time Tianmu mentioned the anti-life equation, it was the day of accountability on Egg Point Island.

"You just keep urging me! If the Five Elders have the time, they might as well send us more research funds. I really want those five demons to die quickly"!

Lilith, who was in charge of external liaison, was scolded again by the lovely Saint Satan. The Five Elders were very dissatisfied with the development progress of the second-generation Seraphim.

It took Vegapunk's team a lot of time to clone the bloodlines of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to create a new generation of Seraphs. There were many technical details that needed to be perfected. As for imperfect technological products, the original Vegapunk would rather throw them all into the garbage dump.

The work of developing the first generation of Seraphs occasionally encountered technical bottlenecks. As for the second generation of Seraphs that appeared in the sky, there was not even a trace of anything related to Homelander.

Vegapunk couldn't even come up with a theoretical basis for fusing the powers of multiple devil fruits, and couldn't construct a stable, non-conflicting scientific model. For their team, Homelander was just a mirage, and the project was completely impossible to implement.

"Tianmu did not provide any technical details. It feels like the span of technology has risen by several dimensions in the past few years, which is completely out of line with Tianmu's thinking."

Listening to Edison's complaints, Pythagoras on the side also felt the same way. Both clones guessed that if Tianmu was not wrong, then the current team would experience a small-scale technological explosion at some time in the future.

In the future, we will spend less time tackling more scientific problems, and it may even be possible to expand our research to the microscopic level. Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain how such a "hybrid monster" as the Homelander came into being.

Under the intentional guidance of Tianmu, Vegapunk's clones gradually developed some estrangement from the original body. The clones believed that the original body was hiding something from them, treating the clones as outsiders and perhaps conducting research behind the scenes.

Vegapunk's brain can be likened to a large hard drive used to store scientific data. The clones transmit their scientific research results to the sky, where they can be permanently stored in the brain.

Each clone has an independent personality. Except for York, the obvious traitor, the other clones did not betray Vegapunk. In theory, they are still a small group.

Women are always suspicious. Lilith was the first to suggest that the original body was hiding something from the clone. With the Homelander holding his own against three people on the sky, and the anti-life equation that the group of digital lifeforms were thinking about, these two things combined deepened her suspicion of the original body.

Even Shakya, who was always cautious, began to stop refuting Lilith's views. When the female clone expressed her opinion on splitting the small team, the men remained silent and acted as listeners.

As for Atlas, he is a lively child. He was created without too many worries. He doesn't have to worry about the future of the team. He helps other clones on the island to expend their energy every day.

As Vegapunk's bodyguard, Zhan Taomaru, in addition to his daily patrol work on the island, has to meet the old man every day to protect the life of his benefactor.

Recently, the location of Egg Point Island has been discovered by the outside world, and there are always some sporadic small pirate groups approaching, but these are fearless minions, so there is no need for Zhan Taomaru to take action.

The modified mechanical sea beasts can destroy the pirates' ships at sea, causing these ignorant pirates to die in the sea.

Although it is still safe for the time being, it undoubtedly sends a signal to the Vegapunk team that Egg Point Island is no longer top secret and its safety factor is beginning to decrease day by day.

Now they can stop some small pirate groups with bounties of over hundreds of millions. Once a large pirate group surrounds Egg Island, Vegapunk's team will not be able to escape. After all, this place is far away from the navy and the World Government, and reinforcements cannot arrive so quickly.

"Grandpa, have you made up your mind whether to move or not?"

Zhan Taomaru sat opposite Vegapunk, fiddling with grilled fish in his hands, preparing food for his benefactor for lunch today and also having a treat for himself.

They are always products from assembly lines. Zhan Taowan would occasionally eat some original things, such as the sea fish next to the fire, which he caught by jumping into the sea naked.

"If we were to move to live with that group of ambitious people, we would lose our current free life and live under their surveillance every day."

Vegapunk doesn't like that kind of tense working environment, and he doesn't like being monitored by outsiders. Although York has been burned to ashes by the pacifists, the shadow left by this clone is still lingering.

The old man with the big tongue never thought that his clone would betray him one day. Before York was exposed, Vegapunk had been living under surveillance, and the Five Elders knew every move of their small group.

Vegapunk didn't even know when York betrayed him, was it a year ago or the moment York was born?

York didn't want to be Vegapunk's clone, she wanted to be the real Vegapunk and cooperate with the World Government without any bottom line to obtain the wealth and glory that women want. Unfortunately, she died because of her own greed.

"It's better to make plans early. If you keep dragging us on, we will become more and more passive. The attraction of the Anti-Life Equation cannot be underestimated." Stussy was a little worried about Vegapunk's mental state.

As a female agent who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Stussy could obviously notice that Vegapunk had not slept in the past few days. It was probably because he had too many things on his mind and often suffered from insomnia. Perhaps changing the environment could improve the quality of his sleep.

Recalling the anti-life equation composed of three mechanical Mother Boxes, the image shown by Victor made Stussy feel very unfamiliar. As the former Queen of Happy Street (Queen of the Intelligence Community), she couldn't even associate it with anything related to the Mother Boxes.

The Mother Box gave the woman the impression that it didn't seem like a natural creation, and it wasn't an early thing, at least not from this century.

There are several reasons why Vegapunk suffers from insomnia. One is that he cannot remember the image of the human Victor, but the other party knows him very well and may have joined a scientific organization MADS at the same time.

He was a very busy man in the MADS organization and didn't care at all about who the organization's peripheral members were. Moreover, there were nearly a hundred scientific research assistants who were paid meager salaries at the time. He had never even seen some of these unimportant work supplies.

Vegapunk couldn't explain the questions about Ultron clearly. He did do research in the field of artificial intelligence, but after vigorously developing the Brain-Brain Fruit, he stopped researching in this area, and he did not take away any experimental data or preliminary experimental results.

Vegapunk couldn't guarantee whether Ultron would awaken self-awareness at some point in time. After all, this silver robot had appeared once on Magnetic Drum Island and was torn to pieces by Admiral Kizaru.

In short, all the blame on the scientific side should be put on Vegapunk. If it were any other scientist, outsiders would not believe it.
