The Final Saga begins. The Straw Hats arrive at Egghead — the island of the future, laboratory of Dr. Vegapunk, the world's greatest scientist. Vegapunk reveals earth-shattering truths: the Void Century, the Ancient Kingdom, Joy Boy, the Mother Flame weapon, and why the World Government erased 800 years of history. The Five Elders — the highest authority of the World Government — descend personally to silence Vegapunk, revealing themselves as monstrous immortal beings with terrifying powers. In a desperate broadcast to the world, Vegapunk transmits the forbidden truth before being killed. The world will never be the same. Admiral Kizaru is forced to fight Luffy despite their indirect connection through Sentomaru. Saturn, one of the Five Elders, shows his true Yokai form. The arc ends with the world learning the truth that the Government has hidden for 800 years.
