## One Piece Chapter 1076, pages 9-10: Old Friends - Chapter: 1076 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Dr. Vegapunk, CP5 Agents, CP7 Agents, CP8 Agents, World Government, Poneglyphs, Navy, Branch G-9, Egghead, Shanks, Red-Haired Pirates, Benn Beckman, Rockstar, Dorry, Brogy, Bar Patrons, New World ### Summary 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. Page 10: The scene shifts to a bar at a small port on a certain island in the New World. Children and locals beg, "Take me with you! Take me with you! Come on!" but a silhouetted adult says there is no way he would bring a hot-headed kid like that. A young admirer asks why he will not give it up because he will make the other captains jealous, then insists, "No way!! I really look up to the chief!!" A subordinate bursts in yelling, "Boss!! That bastard's actually attacking us!!" Another explains that so far the enemy has only been scraping with their youngsters, but it looks like it will turn into a full-on battle soon. Shanks, relaxed but serious, says he does not know whether to call it good or bad timing because they were just about to set off, then admits he lost track of time while "catching up with everyone" after coming across old friends he thought were dead.
