Satan's fingers tapped on the table from time to time, seemingly deep in thought.
That was a piece of history from the past, about 172 years ago, during a time of great unrest caused by discrimination against the Fish-Man Race, when a Steel Giant climbed the Red Line and came to Mary Geoise, intending to cause destruction.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient energy, the Steel Giant became paralyzed before it could cause any damage.
It is reported that this Steel Giant was manufactured even earlier, a product from nearly 900 years ago.
In terms of size, this thing is extremely similar to the Ancient Giant Race; the Steel Oz, modified using Oz as a prototype, is even eight parts similar to that Steel Giant.
It is precisely for this reason that Satan fell into contemplation.
"Satan, you are the one among us responsible for scientific defense, you understand technology better; how do you think Sidilier resurrected that ancient robot?"
"No, that's not resurrection, the difference is huge.
Moreover, considering the state of that ancient Steel Giant, it would be simpler for it to defeat San Juan Wolf, and it wouldn't require a human to pilot it.
The thing that defeated San Juan Wolf is at most a replica by Sidilier, it is absolutely not that ancient Steel Giant.
He shouldn't have access to that kind of data channel either."
Facing Nasujuro's question, Satan denied it from a technical and strength perspective.
After all, those scientists were ordered by Satan to keep it in a certain place and study it to this day.
Satan must take full responsibility for any trouble caused by the ancient robot.
"Then what is the thing in Sidilier's hands?"
"Nasujuro, you're overthinking it; what that thing is isn't important, as long as it can be used by the World Government, its origin isn't a problem.
Since Sidilier can build the first one, he can build more; if he is willing to cooperate with the World Government and build more weapons for us, that's a good thing."
Wochury didn't care about the origin, only hoping that this thing could be used by the World Government.
"Satan, didn't you say Sidilier is a smart person? Then you try to test this smart person's attitude."
The World Government always has a strange confidence, feeling that they can control everything.
For people like Dr. Vegapunk and Dr. Oran, as long as they are willing to research things for the World Government and stay away from forbidden topics, the World Government generally won't bother with what they do privately.
"That makes sense; let's use this method to test him.
However, this matter is not urgent; first, send people to conduct a small investigation.
The CP Organization has recently recruited many new members, so let's test their abilities as well."
Compared to the Marine, the CP is the World Government's more trusted claw, especially CP0, whose awareness of serving the Celestial Dragons is almost etched into their bones.
Under Satan's arrangement, a special small team set off with their mission, targeting Firefly Island.
At the same time, some people had strong opinions about this news.
Morgans never cared about exaggerating facts and was skilled in taking things out of context and creating something out of nothing; terms like 'terrifying dictator', 'benevolent wise king', and 'strongest nation' were frequently used.
However, the royal family of the Fafnir Kingdom was not happy when they saw this news.
Firefly Island used to be their territory; after abandoning it, these people didn't miss it much, as in their view, that kingdom was beyond saving.
But now, the wasteland in their eyes has unexpectedly blossomed with new life, which also stirred up a special thought in them.
However, they couldn't do much; at least according to Morgans' description, Steel Oz was becoming almost unstoppable, so even if they wanted to restore their rule, it wouldn't be possible just by talking; they had to plan for the long term.
A few days later on Firefly Island, San Juan Wolf had already been taken away by the Marine warship; Impel Down would prepare a special single cell for him.
Merchant ships arrived at the island periodically as usual; the smugglers who were killed earlier did not make them fearful or treat the island as forbidden territory, but they did become much more disciplined.
Especially after Steel Oz appeared a few days ago, these people became even more well-behaved.
Along with the crew members who came ashore, there were also some CP members who had changed their clothes.
"Everyone, split up and act.
This is a direct order from the Gorosei; after completing this matter, perhaps we can gain the Gorosei's favor and directly become CP0."
After the leader gave the order, he walked alone towards the market, following the orders from above to investigate the situation regarding Steel Oz.
The Gorosei only gave the objective, not the method, so these people were familiarizing themselves with the island's situation and trying to find an opportunity to approach Dr. Oran.
No one chose foolish methods like violent coercion; they were CP agents, and their job was infiltration and reconnaissance.
Looking at the Gorosei's intentions, they clearly didn't plan to directly break ties; if the Gorosei had that idea, there would be no need for them to infiltrate.
However, the difficulty of this mission was not low; after some investigation, they actually found that there were very few humans in the Royal City, and the easiest place to contact Dr. Oran was actually the hospital.
One of the agents even signed up to become a local drug experiment participant in order to have a chance to get close to Dr. Oran.
But among this group, an exception was born.
Not only did she not go to great lengths to find a method, but she even directly entered the Royal City on the same night.
"Dr. Oran, long time no see.
It's been some years since you withdrew from MADS."
A blonde woman sat opposite Dr. Oran; she was none other than Stussy, one of the clones created by MADS back then.
A while ago, Stussy passed the CP Organization's selection according to Dr. Vegapunk's order and was currently working as an undercover agent within the World Government.
As a clone, unlike Weevil and Lyliana, she knew exactly how she was born and was aware of her identity.
Therefore, she greatly respected Dr. Oran and Dr. Vegapunk, who treated her as a normal human.
"Did Dr. Vegapunk send you out to be an undercover agent?"
"Yes, Dr. Vegapunk is wary of the government and believes certain precautions need to be taken."
In the original timeline, Dr. Vegapunk did the same thing; Stussy not only successfully infiltrated the CP Organization but also became an important member of CP0, backstabbing Lucci and Kaku at a critical moment.
Perhaps the World Government never expected that among the investigators they sent, there was actually an undercover agent hidden.
"I came here this time with a mission from the World Government.
The Gorosei have some doubts about the giant robot you invented, so they sent us to investigate the origin.
Do you need me to cover for you?"
Too tired for too long, if it fails, I'll try again later, still working on recovery.
