The incident of Vinthmok Gazhi did not cause much noise.

first.

The application of the Kingdom of Derma to participate in the war in another world was rejected. If they wanted to participate, they could only get the troops to join the army first and then proceed in the name of the world government.

This is something that will not change in the past, present and future.

Or, if you send someone to participate in next year's "Top 100 Worlds and Hundreds of Powers", you can go to other worlds if you have the ability to get a quota, but that's not a war.

to be honest.

Gazhi looked down on himself a little too much.

However, Im agreed to the request to redeem the once confiscated land with 20 billion Bailey.

Compared to the Kingdom of Derma that has been wandering constantly, it is easier to control the Kingdom of Derma with fixed islands.

For Im and the five old stars at this time, the most concerned thing about Aokiji and Gureva is the matter.

Especially the latter.

When they heard that it was very likely to find pure gold, they were completely unable to calm down.

Pure gold is actually the world government, or the five old stars of all generations, that have been searching for CP0 around the world, but it has struggled without any actual progress.

Who would have thought that Lord Im would tell them that Gureva might have a small piece of pure gold on her hands, and she could even use it to attract the "Island-Swallowing Lantern Fish" with more pure gold.

to be honest.

At that time, the first idea of ​​the five old stars was to send CP0 to catch Gureva back immediately.

But Im had expected this a long time ago and specially ordered to not persecute Gureva, and to ensure that she was willing to continue to serve as the dean of the medical school.

Because in Im's view, Gureva and Pure Gold do not conflict at all, so there is no need to give up one.

The key is that he can live forever, so he is not so urgent in his mentality...

Three days later.

In the second half of the Great Way, there is only less than two nautical miles from the Navy G-1 branch. Ten headquarters-class warships were distributed in various locations just in case.

“It’s time to start.”

Aokiji looked at Dean Gureva next to him calmly.

Gureva nodded expressionlessly, and under the gaze of two CP0s behind her, she threw the little golden ring that had already been removed out of the shipyard. In a blink of an eye, it sank into the sea water and disappeared, but Gureva did not react at all.

After a closer look, she saw a circle of transparent silk thread tied to her fingers. It is not difficult to imagine that the other end of the thread was tied to the golden ring.

Originally, Aokiji had suggested that he or other strong people be responsible for this matter considering safety issues.

After all, no one can guarantee whether there will be any sea beast in the water biting the golden ring and then dragging the person holding the thread into the sea. That is too dangerous.

Although Gureva's skills are more agile than the bottom pirates in the first half of the Great Way, in the eyes of Aokiji and others, they are still within the scope of ordinary people.

But the old woman disagreed and refused to allow others to touch the golden ring.

In desperation, they had no choice but to accept it.

This moment.

The next moment.

Just as it opened its bloody mouth that was enough to eat the island, Kuzan controlled the surging cold air and rushed onto the sea, while yelling lightly.

"Ice Age———"

The waves that were already surging frozen in an instant. Gureva on the deck looked at the entire sea in shock. She turned into polar frozen soil with just blinking. She could no longer see any sea water.

Now she has completely seen what the concept of a naval general is!

Although Aokiji is not a general now, but is just a general's support, in Gureva's opinion, there is basically no difference.

On the other side.

Just below the seabed where she could not see, the vast white frost was constantly spreading deeper, and the sea water everywhere she went turned into frost.

Until they encountered a 'Island-swallowing Lantern Fish' that hit.

First, there was the golden lantern above the head, followed by the fish head and body.

It was so big that it could not completely freeze in a short period of time with the freezing speed of the "Ice Age", causing it to constantly break down layers of ice and climb towards the warship.

To Dean Gureva, the terrible movement sounded like an iceberg that kept collapsing hundreds of meters below his feet...

Fortunately, after about a minute or two, all the sounds stopped.

"Wow————”

The semi-elemental Aokiji fell on the ice surface of uneven air, with waves everywhere, and said with emotion: "This fish is really big, much larger than ordinary sea kings..."

At the same time, he activated the frozen power in his body again.

This time, the ice surface not far away in front of him automatically split, accompanied by a violent shaking like a rocking mountain. Many naval soldiers on the deck had to grab the railings beside them.

After a moment.

A 'lantern fish' as ​​huge as a mountain, in the form of an ice sculpture, slowly rose from under the "Ice Sea" under the stunned gaze of everyone.

But what attracts the most attention is not its size comparable to that of a Marinfando, but its dazzling golden light that cannot be stopped by even the thick ice!

“Pure gold…”

The five old stars who were far away in the holy land Marychoa's eyes were already a little red.

Since this "lantern fish" has been successfully captured, it will be easy to do next.

Two CP0s brought a thousand navy and a guide bird into the giant fish's body, and then followed the spacious throat to the "Acid Sea" that was as wide as a lake, but the color was yellow and green, and the smell of sourness was emitting a strong sour smell.

Fortunately, they prepared enough small iron ships and gas masks in advance.

Not long after, they discovered a green island!

"From the map, this should be the No. 1 stomach of the 'Lantern Fish'." The cp0 on the left took out a somewhat simple map from his coat pocket.

I saw that the three stomachs in the body of the "lantern fish" were roughly drawn.

Well... this is also Im's work.

Not only that, they also consulted biological experts in advance to understand the internal organ structure of general lantern fish and the question of how they would communicate with each other if there were three stomachs.

So the two of them still knew how to act here.

Another co0 nodded and pointed to the southeast direction and said, "Walking in that direction, you should be able to enter the second stomach, but our final destination is the third stomach..."

"But before that, there is another task to ask us to find someone on this island in the stomach."

But just as they were about to set off again, the team was attacked by a group of prehistoric dinosaurs!

Obviously, this 'lantern fish' should have swallowed an island similar to the 'little garden' recently, and fortunately it is a unit from the Navy headquarters.

After a while, these twenty brown and red dinosaurs turned into corpses and fell on the beach.

If it is an ordinary person, they may dismember it as ingredients, but their task is to find pure gold, so they can only be placed here and let "nature" deal with it.

"Why do we act separately?"

"Yes, just find someone, there is no need for everyone to look for them."

After a simple discussion, the two cp0s decided to stay with five hundred people to find someone, and the other took five hundred people to the No. 2 stomach, and the task was also to find someone...

About an hour later, Aokiji and Gureva outside met the two people they found on the deck.

A middle-aged man who looks very sloppy, embarrassed and obese.

A little girl in her teens with curly blonde hair and a big green lizard she brought.

However, the little girl turned her head angrily, looking like she didn't want to look at the former, which made the middle-aged man feel helpless and sad, but there was indeed an expression of excitement in the depths of her eyes.

"I'm very happy to meet you, Dr. Mischina Assie, I am Lieutenant General Aokiji of the Navy Headquarters, the President of Gureva of the Medical College. I will be responsible for escorting you and your daughter to the Academy of Sciences."

Kuzan greeted very politely.

He already knew that this man was the maker of "pure gold" more than two hundred years ago, and the other was the other daughter, Mischina Orga.

Not only that.

According to rumors from CP0, this Dr. Asier is also familiar with dinosaur language and can communicate with dinosaurs!

It's so terrifying. What's the difference between this and the devil fruit's ability?

"Thank you, thank you very much for saving us and allowing us father and son to meet again. I am very satisfied, but can we take a shower, change our clothes, and then..."

Dr. Mischina Assie said embarrassedly.

"Ahem, prepare some normal food. I have been eating raw meat for more than two hundred years, while Orga has been eating fruit for more than two hundred years."

Since seeing his daughter again, he has no concern about the pure gold in the laboratory. As long as the ring on his daughter's hand is still retained, it doesn't matter even if the other pure gold is taken away by the world government.

As for joining the Academy of Sciences, if you are a scientist, if you want to earn money to support yourself and your daughter, you don’t seem to have a better choice except to work for the world government.

It’s just that my knowledge has stagnated more than two hundred years ago, and I’m a little worried about whether I will not be able to keep up with the current scientific level.

"certainly."
