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 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, with Vegapunk, Atlas and Edison trying to crack the password so they could unseal the Dome, however, he was interrupted by Lucci, who took the opportunity to try to assassinate Vegapunk, only to be stabbing Stussy instead and was then sent outside by Zoro, who engaged him in combat. Meanwhile, Sanji used a Bubble Gun to immobilize Kaku. Rob Lucci and Zoro then continued to duel outside the laboratory, until they both noticed someone appearing on the island.

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, which they did and immediately came into conflict with the several Vice Admirals stationed on the battleships. In addition, the Sea Beast Weapons were deployed to engage the battleships in combat and slow the advance of the Marines.



Sentomaru and Kizaru, however, fully engaged in a high-stake duel, each one exchanging blows, with Kizaru starting by using Yasakani no Magatama, only for Sentomaru to evade the attack and instead counterattack Kizaru with Ashigara Palm. However, ultimately, Sentomaru failed to cause significant damage to Kizaru and was instead defeated by Kizaru, who then picked up the Authority Chip and ordered the Pacifista to attack the Sea Beast Weapons instead of the Marines. Having won his duel with Sentomaru, Kizaru made his way up to the Laborphase where he was immediately engaged in another one vs. one duel, this time with Monkey D. Luffy, both heavily trading blows, with Luffy even changing into his Snakeman form.



However, during the blowout, Kizaru used his Devil Fruit to fly outside of Egghead to gain some momentum and then accelerated his speed by using his Devil Fruit, teleporting back in, using the speed to kick Luffy, sending him flying across the Labophase, destroying the Vegaforce-01 in the process and having Luffy crash into the Frontier Dome. Using this short window, Kizaru then turned his attention to Bonney, who tried to use her Devil Fruit powers on him, but he instead turned his body intangible and kicked her into the Frontier Dome as well and then proceeded to travel inside the Labophase, appearing in front of Vegapunk and the Straw Hats. Before he could complete his mission, he was then grabbed by Luffy in his Gear 5 form, who then used his arm to swing Kizaru around, throwing him away from the Labophase. Despite Luffy's throw attempt, Kizaru was able to evade being thrown into the ocean and instead used Yasakani no Magatama to return to Egghead, duplicating in the process and forcing Luffy to engage in a sky skirmish. Kizaru then used Ama No Murakumo to slash at Luffy, with Luffy retaliating with Gomu Gomu no Dawn Whip but he only hid a light clone. Kizaru then proceeded to chase Luffy across the sky, with Luffy panicking over the clones and their speed.



However, it turned out that was a ruse by Luffy to have all clones in a line to strike at them at once, using Gomu Gomu no Dawn Stamp to kick all clones. Luffy was then shocked to see that the real Kizaru was not among the clones and already was inside the Laboratory again, subduing Usopp. Kizaru then spotted Vegapunk and Atlas leaving the Laboratory, attempting to blow them both up with a laser beam, but Luffy stepped in front of Kizaru, swallowing the laser beam, which then exploded inside Luffy, causing him to glow up by the impact, however, that didn't have much of an impact on Luffy, as he started to once again engage Kizaru in combat. Kizaru then tried to stop their fight prematurely, stating he had a more serious issue to take care of, but Luffy replied only that it was his mission to stop Kizaru from doing his. However, both then noticed someone coming to the island.



Thanks to Kizaru's command, the Marines were able to invade Egghead, however, they faced some trouble when they were fighting Jewelry Bonney, who was sent down to the Fabriophase previously by Kizaru and saved by Sentomaru. In addition, both Vegapunk and Atlas made their way from the Labophase inside a vessel specifically made by Vegapunk with the intention to overwrite the Mark III. Pacifista's previous command. With Atlas being successful in doing so, the Pacifista once again turned against the Marines, both Vegapunk and Stella then tried to locate Bonney amidst the fighting but were unable to do so until Sanji located her using his "Lady Radar". As he spotted her, Bonney was heavily engaged in a fight against several Marines and two Vice-Admirals, one being Bluegrass, who tried to revert her subject's altercations done by Bonney, but Bonney was saved twice by Sanji, as he saved her from the other Vice-Admiral who tried to smash them both. But Sanji was able to save Bonney and get her safely onto the Vegatank-08. As they were making their way back up, a voice announced that Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was about to make landfall on to the island, leaving everybody shocked. The group then saw an explosion occur close to them, with black lightning shooting out of it and a Marine soldier had its head explode as he stared into what happened to be Jaygarcia Saturn, although in a different form.



Just when the Vegatank-08 was on its way up again, the clouds next to it were suddenly shot by Kizaru, who appeared above it, though he stated he missed, leading to the Vegaforce-08 crashlanding on the floor. Kizaru, though, noticed Luffy making his way too late and though he was able to shoot at Luffy, his attack enables Luffy to gain momentum for his attack, hitting at Kizaru with Gomu Gomu no White Star Gun, however, the impact led to both Luffy and Kizaru to drop from the sky, the attack sending Kizaru into a building and Luffy down to the floor, next to Saturn's feet. As the group of Vegapunk, Franky, Sanji, Atlas and Bonney recovered from the crash, they were confronted by an enraged Saturn, standing in front of them, displeasingly stating Vegapunk should have been dead already by now. To the surprise of everybody present, Bonney then suddenly grabbed a nearby katana, angrily and tearfully stabbing Saturn in his chest.
