Egghead Incident

The Egghead Incident is an event that occurred when the World Government learned that Dr. Vegapunk had been studying the forbidden knowledge of the Void Century and decided to assassinate him while one of the Four Emperors, Monkey D. Luffy, barricaded himself on the island Egghead. However, to the public, Morgans reported the incident in the news as if the Straw Hat Pirates had taken Vegapunk hostage, whilst the Marines were attempting to save him.

Origin
After the Ohara Incident and the destruction of Ohara, Vegapunk secretly read through Ohara's library, memorizing everything stored within it. This eventually evolved into research into the Void Century, despite its illegality.

Egghead Disappearances
Three months before the Egghead Incident began, York, in an attempt to become a World Noble, had reported Vegapunk to the Five Elders, as well as sending them a Mother Flame, which Imu later used on Lulusia Kingdom. A month later CP5 was sent to Egghead to confirm her allegations, though the agents disappeared, as well as CP7 and CP8 envoys sent later, with each of them making contact with Egghead before heading back out to sea. It is later revealed that York had used the Sea Beast Weapons to chase them back to Egghead where she quietly captured them without any of the other Vegapunk's knowing. She had correctly surmised that the World Government would not honor their agreement and would rather eliminate her as well. These events were later referred to as the Egghead Disappearances. Due to this, the Five Elders and an unknown individual assumed the report to be correct and sent CP0 and a Marine fleet to the island, with the goal of assassinating Vegapunk and his satellites.

Straw Hats Arrival
The day before the Egghead Incident began, both the Straw Hat Pirates and Jewelry Bonney coincidentally arrived on Egghead before CP0. Realizing that CP0 had arrived to assassinate him and his satellites, Vegapunk requested refuge with the Straw Hats, with Luffy accepting. Over the course of the resulting conflict, Stussy and Sentomaru abandoned their World Government posts, and the remaining CP0 agents agreed to a temporary truce due to the seemingly rogue behavior of the Seraphim.

As the pirates and World Government agents battled the Seraphim, York revealed herself as a traitor to Vegapunk and began picking off the other satellites, with her goal to eliminate everyone except Vegapunk and the Cipher Pol hostages.

Event
The event can best be described as a siege, with the defenders being the new Emperor "Straw Hat" Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as Dr. Vegapunk, his satellites (sans York), Sentomaru, Stussy and Bonney. The pirates made use of the island's futuristic defense system and living weapons, including the Sea Beast Weapons, 50 Mark III Pacifistas, and four Seraphim, whilst making an uneasy alliance with CP0 agents Rob Lucci and Kaku. On the attacking side is a Marine fleet of 100 ships including 20 battleships, 30,000 soldiers being led by 9 Vice Admirals, Admiral Kizaru and one of the Five Elders, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.

By the time of the siege began, York had been apprehended by the alliance of the Straw Hat Pirates and CP0, and she was forced to make a call to Mary Geoise requesting assistance, as well as revealing her true intentions and plans, being reaffirmed she would achieve her dreams in exchange for her safety and the power plant that could power up the Mother Flame, a weapon the World Government desired. Furthermore, two of Vegapunk's satellites, Pythagaros and Shaka, have been eliminated by York, while the Seraphim had to be contained in Bubble Balls, as they were still under orders to eliminate the Straw Hats and other Vegapunks. Furthermore, York had locked the Frontier Dome with an encryption, and while this kept everyone safe within the Labophase, it also prevented them from escaping.

As a result of the call, Saturn reiterated that the three main objectives of the siege would be to guarantee York's safety, the preserving of the Punk Records and the securing of the Power Plant which could fuel the Mother Flame, deeming everything else disposable. Meanwhile the Straw Hats goal was to escape Egghead with at least Vegapunk Stella, though preferably with all the remaining Vegapunk's.



The Marines outside, after receiving intel from inside the Labophase, prepared to start their assault on Egghead. Kizaru was the first Marine to enter Egghead after having been previously ordered by Saturn to avoid Sentomaru and go for the Labophase directly. However, Kizaru decided to face Sentomaru directly, using Yata no Kagami to make his way to the island and engaging Sentomaru in a direct battle. Sentomaru, having anticipated his arrival, ordered the Mark III Pacifista to engage and attack the Marine ships outside.

Aftermath
The aftermath of the Egghead Incident is currently unknown, just that it was among the headlines in the next day's newspaper, and the resolution of the incident caused international shock.
