## One Piece Chapter 1076, pages 8-9: Old Friends - Chapter: 1076 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: CP5 Agents, CP7 Agents, CP8 Agents, World Government Intelligence, Weaponized Sea Beasts, Dr. Vegapunk, Egghead, World Government, Poneglyphs, Navy, Branch G-9 ### Summary Page 8: Deep within the lab, imprisoned World Government Intelligence CP5, CP7, and CP8 agents lie weak and chained in a hidden chamber. One groans, "Need f-foooood..." while others say they have not had a decent meal "in over two months" and wonder whether they will ever be allowed to leave or die there. One agent recounts that two months ago, after their inspection of Egghead, they were meant to set sail, but "those weaponized sea beasts attacked us," forcing them back to the island. Then all the other agents who came to look into their disappearance met the same fate too. The speaker turns toward a shadowed prisoner and says he figured that person was behind it all, setting up the reveal that Stella Vegapunk himself is chained with them. Page 9: The hidden prisoner is revealed as Dr. Vegapunk's Stella, chained and battered in the underground lab. The agents cry, "Dr. Vegapunk!!" while Stella apologizes, "Sorry, I'm afraid I had no idea... to think this was happening on Egghead right under my nose." He says it is troubling because "this whole affair has been baffling from the start" and that word leaking to the Government about his research into the Poneglyphs should have been impossible. Outside Egghead, a Navy report says the Navy has successfully deployed from Branch G-9, with over one hundred ships of all sizes en route and "all heading for Egghead." Vegapunk's imprisonment and the incoming fleet show that the island is being squeezed from inside and outside at once.
