Chapter 1158 1,157: Egghead Island, Monkey D. Dragon

Seeing the smile in Rei Ao's eyes, Gion knew immediately that he was up to no good.

She rolled her eyes, but did not say anything more.

She had long since understood what kind of person he was. She could neither stop him nor resist him.

So she might as well just follow along and watch the fun unfold.

In the blink of an eye,

their figures turned into streaks of light and shot toward Egghead Island in the New World.

Egghead Island, the steel island floating in the seas of the New World, was bustling with activity at this very moment.

The World Government had collapsed overnight.

Mary Geoise had been flattened to the ground, and the Five Elders had vanished without a trace.

The surveillance and blockade that had once hung over Egghead Island disappeared in an instant.

With no more harassment from CP0 and no more Marine encirclement, the island had become ownerless territory.

Dragon arrived at once with the main force of the Revolutionary Army.

In the lower warehouse of the island, Belo Betty was standing on top of a wooden crate, holding a large megaphone as she shouted at the busy Revolutionary Army soldiers.

"Move it! Stay sharp, all of you! These precision instruments are the foundation for rebuilding the world!"

"Stop dragging your feet! If you break even one of them, ten heads wouldn't be enough to pay for it!"

She wore a red coat over a tank top, her fiery figure fully on display. Her voice rang out loud and clear, carrying an authority that left no room for argument.

After shouting that, she could not help grumbling inwardly: These idiots are all full of energy during training, but the second they have to carry something, they start moving like snails.

If this equipment weren't so important, I'd smack them over the head with this megaphone myself.

Nearby, Koala was crouching on the ground with a thick checklist in hand.

A pen flew rapidly across the page as she checked off every instrument being moved out.

Her brow was furrowed, and a thin sheen of sweat had formed at her temples.

Hearing Betty yell, she looked up at her and spoke helplessly.

"Betty! Stop rushing them!"

"These are all Dr. Vegapunk's life's work. If they get damaged, he'll fight us to the death!"

"Handle them carefully! How many times do I have to say it?!"

The checklist in her hands was packed from top to bottom with Vegapunk's research成果.

Now that the World Government was gone, the Revolutionary Army had to move all of this somewhere safe as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, once the other powers on the sea realized what had happened, they would definitely come to seize it.

Her thoughts were in turmoil as well.

The World Government had suddenly vanished, and the goal they had been fighting toward for so many years had been achieved overnight—yet she did not feel happy at all.

Her pen paused for a moment, then she forced herself to calm down and keep going.

This was not the time to think about that. First, she had to deal with what was right in front of her.

On the other side of the island,

at the open landing pad, Bonney was clutching Kuma's arm, her eyes red and overflowing with tears.

"Daddy Kuma…"

Her voice was choked with sobs as she gripped his rough hand.

"I finally found you… you're finally back by my side…"

Kuma's huge body stood there, and in his hollow eyes, a faint flicker finally returned.

Slowly, he raised a hand and gently patted Bonney on the head. The movement was stiff, but there was an almost imperceptible tenderness in it.

Seeing him like this only made Bonney cry harder.

She had searched for him for so many years, hated for so many years, and now at last she had found Daddy Kuma again.

But all those things the World Government had done to him back then—trying to turn him into a machine…

Vegapunk had said that Kuma's consciousness had been sealed inside the bubble expelled by the Paw-Paw Fruit, and that if it could not be recovered, there was nothing he could do.

Her heart twisted with grief and hatred—hatred for the Celestial Dragons who had destroyed her father, hatred for the World Government officials who had helped them commit those atrocities.

But now, the World Government had disappeared overnight.

All those enemies had vanished without a trace, leaving her with nowhere to direct her revenge.

At that moment,

inside a nearby laboratory, Stussy was leaning against an experimental platform with a glass of red wine in hand.

Watching the flustered Vegapunk before her, a smile curled at her lips.

"I say, Dr. Vegapunk, there's no need to be this anxious, is there?"

She gently swirled the wine in her glass, her voice soft and lazy.

"The Revolutionary Army will help you move everything. No matter how anxious you are, you can't exactly go out and carry it yourself."

Vegapunk was practically hopping in agitation. With his giant head and a wrench in hand, he snapped,

"What do you know?! That's my ion accelerator!"

"If those clumsy fools break it, where am I supposed to build another one?! No, I have to go supervise them myself!"

Stussy smiled and did not try to stop him again.

She understood the situation very well. The World Government had fallen, and CP0 had fallen apart with it.

Her role as an undercover agent had long since lost all meaning.

For now, staying with Dr. Vegapunk and the Revolutionary Army was her best option.

But she could not shake the feeling that the sky over this sea had changed completely.

To this day, no one knew who the mysterious person was who had destroyed the World Government.

At that moment,

the air above Egghead Island twisted slightly.

Rei Ao, with Gion beside him and Shirahoshi just released from his spatial dimension, appeared out of thin air above the island's dome.

Shirahoshi stared at the island below, her eyes full of curiosity.

She had never seen a place like this before.

There was no coral, no seawater—just strange buildings everywhere, all made of steel and glass.

There were even flying machines darting through the air, which she found utterly fascinating.

"Wow… Rei Ao-sama, this island is amazing…"

She tugged lightly at his sleeve, her voice soft and delicate.

"It's actually floating in the sky? And there are so many little flying houses…"

Rei Ao smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"This is Egghead Island, the domain of Vegapunk, the greatest scientist in the world. It used to be forbidden ground under the World Government. Now it's turned into the Revolutionary Army's backyard."

Beside them, Gion crossed her arms and glanced at the busy Revolutionary Army soldiers below.

Her gaze landed on the figure standing at the highest point in the distance, and her brows lifted slightly.

"Monkey D. Dragon,"

she said softly.

"The leader of the Revolutionary Army. Garp's son. Luffy's father. I didn't expect him to come here in person."

She could not help feeling a little emotional herself.

Back when she was still in the Marines, Dragon had been the World Government's number one wanted man.

They had spent every day thinking about how to capture him.

And now the World Government was gone, while she stood here with the man who had destroyed it, watching Dragon from above.

If that was not the unpredictability of fate, what was?
