The cover-story caption reads, "Germa 66's Ahh... An Emotionless Voyage Vol. 25: These two once belonged in an organization called MADS." The illustration shows Caesar Clown and Vinsmoke Judge fighting while their shared past in the scientific group MADS is highlighted, so this is retained as useful extra continuity rather than main Egghead action. Page 1: At Egghead's port, CP0 waits with the Kuma-type Seraphim. The island side says, "Cipher Pol, great job in returning the Seraphim back to Egghead Island." They add that the "S-Bear" can return on its own from CP0's position and apologetically frame it as administrative correspondence because they are busy. The instruction is clear: issue the return order to S-Bear and the mission is complete. The speaker closes with, "Thank you for your hard work!" Kaku bristles at the treatment, complaining, "Hey, hey, that's quite cold-hearted from ya!!" Page 2: Lucci suspects Egghead is wary and asks, "Have they noticed?" Kaku tries to push his way in, saying, "It's been a long journey ya know?! Why don't ya let us on the island for a cup of tea or something? It's cold out here!" The port replies that the Marine G-14 branch is nearby. Lucci confirms he is speaking with Dr. Vegapunk and mentions disappearance cases at Egghead: two months ago a CP5 ship, a month ago a CP7 ship, and two weeks ago a CP8 ship. In the lab, the Vegapunks note that for the past two months none of the government ships visiting Egghead have returned, though one says they personally confirmed all of those ships' departures. Page 3: Lilith angrily asks what CP0 is trying to say and snaps, "Are you saying we laid a hand on the Cipher Pol's ships? Don't mess with us!!" Edison warns her not to pick a fight and starts to say he will open the ports so they can investigate, but the others immediately reject that too. Pythagoras repeats that CP0 should leave. Lucci calmly answers, "I see... I fully understand," while Kaku mutters "Kuru-ppoi." Lucci orders everyone to prepare to abandon ship. When Kaku asks what they will do, Lucci says they will fly toward the island using S-Bear's abilities, because the moment they invade the sea beast weapons will destroy their ship. Page 4: Far away at the Grand Line, the real Bartholomew Kuma begins moving by himself. People at Kamabakka Kingdom shout, "Kuma!" and "Wait!!" as the damaged cyborg tears away from the revolutionary base. Someone calls, "Kuma-san, where are you going?" while his body clanks and steams. Dragon watches with alarm and says only, "Kuma..." Kuma then uses the Paw-Paw Fruit with a sharp "Fsssshh" and vanishes in a "Pop!!" leaving the Revolutionaries shocked behind him. Page 5: Back at Egghead's scrapyard, Luffy asks Vegapunk why he wants to get off the island when his lab is there. Vegapunk admits, "Ah that's right..." He explains that he has completely used up all the government's research funds and kept continuing his research anyway; even now, the overflowing ideas will not stop. The number of helpers and the amount of funds are no longer enough. Vegapunk then states his dream: "One day, I want to create a kind of world with science... a world where energy is widespread all over the world, free of charge!" Page 6: Vegapunk says the resources that produce energy are fought over by many countries and that this becomes the seed of war. He calls humans foolish beings, but says energy can be felt here, over there, and everywhere else. Luffy, busy eating, has not been listening and asks, "What would that do for everyone?" Vegapunk says that if he can convert the invisible energy around them into visible power, the large fuse of war will be erased from the world. Even though the world is full of it, he believes science will surely reach that point one day. Page 7: Luffy reacts with "Heeeeh..." and Vegapunk says Luffy does not seem interested. Luffy answers that a person who can make everyone happy is good, though he is not interested in being a hero. When he asks why Vegapunk wants to leave, Vegapunk says the more he tries to create the energy he seeks, the closer he gets to the truth. He has nearly uncovered the ancient energy source that powered the old robot soldier, and as a scientist he must take a peek. He says that if he unra...
