K-CHUNK!

The cockpit of the massive robot hissed open, and a figure stepped out.

She was a beautiful young woman in her early twenties with short yellow hair and pink eyes. A black communications headset was fitted over her left ear, and she wore a futuristic, form-fitting suit with "PUNK 02" printed over her left breast.

This was Lilith, One of Vegapunk’s six satellites who embodied his "Evil."

"A LADY!" Sanji’s eyes immediately turned into hearts.

"MAY I SEE YOUR PANTIES?" Brook’s old habit flared up again.

"Hey, you two, don’t you sense something’s off about this woman?" Zoro’s hand, however, was already gripping the hilt of Wado Ichimonji, his eyes gleaming with the intensity of a predator that had spotted its prey.

She was within his striking range...

Zoro was confident he could kill her in a single blow from this distance.

As for his code about not cutting women? His instincts were screaming that this person wasn’t a woman at all.

Something was very wrong.

"Off??"

Sanji and Brook focused their gazes.

"SHE LOOKS LIKE A PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL LADY TO ME!" Sanji’s heart-eyes only intensified.

"This idiot... I really want to cut him down," Zoro muttered, a vein throbbing on his forehead.

"TO DO THIS TO MY SEA BEAST WEAPONS! THE RESEARCH BUDGET IS ALREADY TIGHT AS IT IS!" Lilith shrieked, utterly furious.

The Sea Beast Weapons were marine combat units developed by Vegapunk, modeled after Sea Kings, designed to protect the Future Island, Egghead. They possessed the size and strength of Sea Kings but were also equipped with advanced weaponry like torpedoes and missiles.

Combined with their home-field advantage in the sea, these Sea Beast Weapons were incredibly powerful in naval combat.

But no matter how strong they were, they were meaningless against the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit. They had been instantly frozen solid by Ice Age.

These weapons were incredibly expensive to build. Having them frozen meant all that funding had just gone down the drain. This enraged Lilith, who was already struggling with an insufficient budget.

Lilith was the representative of Vegapunk’s "Evil," her personality impulsive, irritable, and reckless.

"Hand over all your valuables!" Lilith pointed at the crew and demanded loudly.

"..."

The crew looked at each other, then blinked.

"How long has it been? How long since someone tried to rob us??" Usopp was so moved he was almost in tears.

"This is more like a real pirate adventure!" Chopper said, acting like an adult, hugging his little hooves and nodding his cute head.

Rowen’s reputation was just too immense.

Ever since Alabasta, other pirates basically ran at the first sight of them. This was completely different from the pirate life Chopper had heard about from Dr. Hiriluk.

"Oh? You’ve got some nerve," Zoro said with a grin.

<><><><><><><><>

"I am the super-genius scientist specially employed by the government, Dr. Vegapunk!"

Lilith declared, her self-important tone clashing bizarrely with her youthful appearance as she flashed a wicked smile.

"VEGAPUNK?? You’re that Vegapunk??" Franky’s eyes widened.

"A beautiful woman! The legendary Vegapunk is a beautiful woman!" Sanji was ecstatic.

A BEAUTIFUL SCIENTIST!

WHAT A DIVINE SETTING!

"Please tell me the color of your panties!" Brook was also excited.

A genius beautiful scientist... he had never met one before. He wondered what kind of panties such a lady would wear.

"I admire you so much, Vegapunk! I studied at your research institute in your hometown, Karakuri Island! I have so many things I want to show you!" Franky was also excited.

"A GIANT ROBOT! SUGEEEEEEEEE! VEGAPUNK! VEGAPUNK!!" Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp excitedly chanted Vegapunk’s name.

"Vegapunk?? You’ve got to be kidding," Bonney said, frowning at Lilith.

"Wait, I’ve never heard that Vegapunk was a woman," Robin’s beautiful eyes narrowed.

"Speaking of which, Vegapunk is said to be the man with the World’s Greatest Mind," Brook also recalled this description.

"Of course not! I’m not the main body!" Lilith huffed.

"Main body?"

Everyone looked over curiously.

"That’s right! I am PUNK-02! Evil—Lilith!" Lilith’s smile, just like the evil she represented, was filled with malice.

<><><><><><><><>

"Hey, Lilith, what are you doing now?" Just then, a deep male voice came from Lilith’s headset.

"Huh? The usual, of course," Lilith said impatiently.

"Robbing again? Can you have some dignity as a scientist?" the voice said.

"Dignity? Can dignity pay for research? These guys dared to freeze all the Sea Beast Weapons. The Ice-Ice Fruit... what a troublesome ability! Wait a minute, this ability... wasn’t it Kuzan’s, then stolen by Sky Sovereign Rowen?" Lilith pinched her chin, her expression fierce.

"You’re a bit slow on the uptake, aren’t you? The one in front of you... is the World’s Strongest, Sky Sovereign Rowen."

Hearing the words from her headset, Lilith’s gaze turned to Rowen, who was watching her with interest.

"Looks like they’ve recognized Rowen. They’ll probably apologize properly now," Usopp spread his hands.

"SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN! THE WORLD’S RICHEST PIRATE!" Lilith’s eyes turned into Beri symbols.

Compared to titles like ’World’s Strongest’, Lilith cared more about this one.

The World’s Richest Pirate!

In terms of wealth, no pirate in this era could be richer than Rowen, who had absorbed the treasures and territories of the three former Emperors—Whitebeard, Big Mom, and the Beasts Pirates!

<><><><><><><><>

"HOW ABOUT IT? WANT TO INVEST SOME FUNDS IN ME? THIS IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL HUMANITY!" Lilith, though representing Vegapunk’s Evil, was not stupid.

From a scientist’s perspective, there were no factions—discussing cooperation was still possible!

"An investment? Investments require a return. What can you offer me in return?"

<><><><><><><><>

Egghead’s so-called super defense, the Frontier Dome’s laser interception system, which only a Glint-Glint Fruit user could pass through by turning into a light element—was completely meaningless before a man who could completely control space.

And this man possessed so many super-strong Logia Devil Fruits.

CRACKLE!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
