Lies of V: Part 3
By Zaru
So far, everything has been going smoothly.
The Straw Hats have come to Egghead, and Vegapunk had given Emperor Straw Hat Luffy and his friends a much needed lesson on history and science, in addition to his dreams and goals of creating a world without war and abundant energy.
But it seems Omega was in quite the spot, her duel against three powerful agents of CP0 dragging through the island. Can't hide it forever now as the island rumbled and quaked.
"What was that?" Black Leg Sanji asked as Vegapunk turned.
"It would seem that CP0 has come to try and take my life, but rest assured." The smartest man in the world said. "It's being handled."
"Oh? How so? Oh! Is it with some Super defense system? Or killer robots?" Cyborg Franky replied. The mechanical man had been beaming ear to ear since coming here, and Vegapunk felt touched that he inspired such a soul.
"Something like that," Vegapunk replied as the monitor on screen changed, showcasing the battle unfolding.
"Ehh?! Isn't that Rob Lucci!" Cat Burglar Nami exclaimed in surprise.
"Never mind that! Oi, Vegapunk! What's Yamato doing here?!" Sanji inquired, pointing at the screen.
It would seem that Lucci and that giraffe swordsman was squaring off against Omega, the Lunarian-Oni's club clashing against Kaku's swords while her feet collided with the leopard-man's kick.
Until his tail came and smacked her in the head, and the two pressing the advantage.
"My my, I anticipated the agents to be strong, but for them both to have Awakened Zoans, quite the pickle," Vegapunk mused.
"Wait, Vegapunk why is Yamato here and-Hey, she looks different to me right? Or is it the lighting?" Usopp mused.
"She, alongside S-Shark who you fought earlier, are human cyborgs known as Seraphim. Seraphim, like S-Shark are essentially highly-advanced Pacifistas, but PX-A Omega you see there is an advanced model of Seraphim... One I dub an Archangel." Stella replied. "One who serves and fights for man, instead of the Gods."
"Seraphim? Pacifistas? Fighting Gods? What the heck do you mean old-timer?!" Usopp asked nervously.
"Well, simply put-" Stella turned towards the group... noticing someone missing. "Hmmm, where did Black Leg go?" Nami and Usopp turned, noticing the missing Sanji.
"Whoa?! He just disappeared! What did you do Vegapunk!" Usopp demanded.
"It's fine, he ran out the door." Nico Robin explained as Stella blinked. How did Black Leg escape from his boots?
"Seems I need to finetune your Magno-Boots, but why would Black Leg-"
"DON'T YOU DAREEEEE~!" Shotued a voice over the audio speaker as Stella turned. And a streaking red meteor struck the battlefield... complete with Kaku being pushed back. "PUT YOUR HANDS ON A LADYYYYY~!"
"Oh there he is." Stella said as Nami sighed. "What speed..."
"Great, we just had to pick a fight with the Government... We just escaped by the skin of our teeth against not one but two Emperors. Can we just, chill please!" Nami whined.
"Yamato my sweeeeet~!" Sanji cooed, turning towards the stoic and dark skinned Oni. "I hope you're okay! Your Knight in shining armor is here for-" He Blinked, and turned as his kick collided with Lucci's fist. "Gnngh! You're the Pidgeon Guy aren't you!"
"So Vegapunk is going to ally themselves with Emperor Straw Hat after all!" Lucci growled, and the two backed off from the force of their blows.
"Well this day," Kaku's Hagoromo belt flared, him branding his katanas and coiling his neck down. "Just keeps getting better and better!"
"Should we... go down there and help him?" Usopp asked.
"Omega has this handled, but, I'm sure she will appreciate the assistance," Stella replied before there was beeping on the monitor.
"Grrr, what now!" Lilith growled, checking it as Pythagoras and Edison were busy coordinating the cameras and other facets of Egghead. "oh for fucks sake, there's a Navy Fleet on the way!"
"A whole fleet?!" Usopp wailed, Nami looking pale.
"Worse yet," Lilith turned. "They're equipped with Buster Call Ordinance. And the flagship... It's Admiral Kizaru." Stella sighed as he walked to the console.
"Alpha." He spoke, the rest of the room. "Keep an eye on the skies... as much as I'd want you to intercept the fleet..." He glared out to the skies. "We can't be certain.. if he will come knocking at our door..."
"Understood." Replied a voice that made Nami perk up.
"Eh, was that Izuku?" She said.
"Wait, Vegapunk... with that Jinbe clone... did you clone not just the Warlords... but Izuku and Yamato too?" Franky asked, eyes wide.
"Indeed I did..." Stella sighed. "Everything I have built is to create a world without war... even if it means lying to those who do good in the world." He looked on the screen, Sanji being on fire and clashing against Lucci while Kaku and Omega dueled, steel singing and sand flying across the beach.
"but for the sake of my dream, I will do whatever it takes."
