Sailing through the ferocious, churning waters of the New World, a lone ship cut across the waves—sleek, dark, reinforced, and flying the unmistakable flag of the World Government.
But this wasn't a standard Marine vessel.
This ship carried a unit the public barely knew existed—because the government preferred it that way.
Cipher Pol Zero. CP0. The assassins among assassins.
Inside the ship's main cabin, four figures sat around a table, shadows pooling beneath them as the lantern light swayed.
Rob Lucci, his expression cold and unreadable, leaned forward slightly.
Lucci: So, what's our next move
Kaku, cleaning his long nose with a cloth, crossed his arms.
Kaku: Here's what we know, there's only one Dr. Vegapunk
A soft, amused chuckle filled the room.
Stussy, legs crossed elegantly, smirked behind her teacup.
Stussy: How astute, that's some top secret intel huh?
Before either man responded, a rough voice cut in from the far corner.
Itsuki sat there, barely illuminated—lean, sharply built, messy black hair spiked back, his chest bare beneath his white CP0 coat. Dark eyes like knives, scars lining his torso.

A man Ryo once fought at Enies Lobby... and nearly killed.
Itsuki: You really shouldn't interrupt, it's rude, so keep your mouth shut, bloodsucker
Stussy gave a polite, unbothered tilt of her head.
Stussy: my apologies
Kaku nodded in thanks to Itsuki.
Kaku: Thank you Itsuki, now as I was saying, there's only one man with a mind like Vegapunk's, and a genius like that always has a full plate. Of course he could use some help with his work, but no-one else can keep up
Itsuki leaned forward, voice low and steady.
Itsuki: That's when he decided to split himself into six different people. An impossible idea for anyone else in the world—but Vegapunk pulled it off. Those offshoots are called satellites. Punk 1 Shaka, Punk 2 Lilith, Punk 3 Edison, Punk 4 Pythagoras, Punk 5 Atlas, Punk 6 York. The satellites function as their own individuals, but at the end of the day, they're all Vegapunk
