Chapter 422 Suspicion of Yan Mo and the temptation of pure gold!
The matter of Vinsmoke Gaji actually did not cause much commotion.
first.
The Germa Kingdom's application to participate in the alien war was rejected. If they want to participate, they can only join the army first and then do it in the name of the world government.
This is something that will not change in the past, present and future.
Or, send people to participate in next year's 'Top 100 Tournament'. If you have the ability to get a spot, you can go to other worlds, but it is not a war.
to be honest.
Gaji thinks too highly of himself.
However, Im agreed to the request to use 20 billion beli to redeem the confiscated land.
Compared to the constantly wandering Germa Kingdom, the Germa Kingdom, which has fixed islands, is easier to control.
For Im and Wulaoxing at this time, what they were most concerned about was the affairs of Qing Pheasant and Gureva.
Especially the latter.
When they heard that there was a high possibility of finding pure gold, they couldn't calm down at all.
In fact, the world government, or the five old stars of the past, have been asking CP0 to search for pure gold all over the world, but there has been no real progress.
Who would have thought that Lord Im would actually tell them that Gureva might have a small piece of pure gold in her hand, and she could even use it to attract the 'Swallowing Island Lantern Fish' that has more pure gold.
to be honest.
At that time, Wulaoxing's first thought was to immediately send CP0 to capture Gureva.
But Im had anticipated this, so he specifically added instructions in the order not to persecute Gureva, and to ensure that she was willing to continue serving as the dean of the medical school.
Because from Im's point of view, Gureva and pure gold have no conflict at all, and there is no need to give up either one.
The key is that he can live forever, so he is not so anxious mentally...
Three days later.
In the second half of the Great Route, the sea is less than two nautical miles away from the Navy G-1 branch. Ten headquarters-level warships are distributed in various locations just in case.
"It's time to start."
Qing Zhi calmly looked at Dean Gu Lewa next to her.
Gulewa nodded expressionlessly, and under the watchful eyes of the two CP0s behind her, she threw the small golden ring that she had already taken off over the railing of the boat. In the blink of an eye, it sank into the sea and disappeared, but Gulewa did not react at all.
If you look closely, you can see that there is a circle of transparent silk thread tied around her finger. It is not difficult to imagine that the other end of the thread is tied to the gold ring.
Originally, Aoki Pheasant considered safety issues and suggested that he or other powerful people be responsible for this matter.
After all, no one can guarantee whether some sea monster will bite the golden ring in the water and drag the person holding the line into the sea. That would be too dangerous.
Although Gureva's skills are stronger than those of the low-level pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, in the eyes of Aokiji and others, they are still in the category of ordinary people.
But the old woman didn't agree to it and didn't allow anyone else to touch the golden ring.
In desperation, they had no choice but to accept it.
this moment.
Im on Noah's Ark, the Five Old Stars among the Powers, Marshal Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters, and Aokiji on the scene were all watching the situation on the sea.
The atmosphere gradually became solemn, and the only sound between heaven and earth was the endless sound of the waves.
No one knows how long it will take, but everyone is waiting quietly.
During this period, Im thought of a question, and then glanced at the 'Yama' placed on the knife rest in the distance, thinking in his heart.
"The King Yama mentioned this pure gold before, and seemed to be quite dissatisfied with it in his words, saying it was a false form of immortality."
"If we really get a lot of pure gold this time, he will probably be even more unhappy, right?"
In fact, Im doesn't like the feeling of having to worry about other people's opinions when doing things. However, he still doesn't know the strength of King Yama, and he even seems to be much stronger than himself, so he has to think more about it.
But even if there is enough pure gold, he cannot spread it and can only give it to a small number of people in need.
As for medical school, if you need it, you can apply and consider it again when the time comes.
Just thinking of King Yama, Im suddenly became suspicious of the 'Yama Sword'. That is, since the other party can use it to pull his soul into hell, can he also use it to monitor his every move?
Don't say anything else.
King Yama is 100% interested in the fact that he can control the Star Gate.
"But I've been in and out of hell so many times, but I haven't seen him make any moves, and the star map doesn't show any reaction. It seems like he can't do anything to me..."
Thinking of this, Im felt a little relieved.
However, I decided in my heart that I would no longer carry the 'Yama Sword' with me from now on. I would use it when needed and keep it in this bedroom when it is no longer needed.
Or someone could get a black box made of sea floor stone specifically to hold the knife. Although he didn't know if the sea floor stone could block it, he didn't know if there was a 'mysterious line of sight'.
Yi Mu withdrew his faint gaze, but there were thoughts in his heart that were not worthy of being treated by outsiders.
At this moment, Kuzan's voice came from the virtual screen.
"coming!"
Immediately, everyone was shocked. Although there was no change on the sea, no one suspected that Kuzan was joking.
About four or five minutes later, several lieutenant generals on each warship who were good at seeing, hearing, and domineering changed their expressions, because they had sensed that a huge creature was approaching from the depths of the sea towards the sea.
The speed of that thing was very fast, and its target was obvious, which was the warship where Aokiji and Kureva were, or rather the pure gold ring that bloomed with brilliant golden light in the water!
"It can be taken back."
Kuzan first warned Dean Gureva, and then turned into a white shadow and jumped into the air outside the deck. At the same time, a billowing frost-white cold air surged from his body.
At this time, Gureva had already pulled the thread on her finger to pull up the golden ring, but this also made the giant creature deep below become violent.
next moment.
Just when it opened its mouth big enough to eat the island, Kuzan controlled the surging cold air and pounced on the sea while drinking softly from his mouth.
"Ice Age----"
The waves that were still surging froze in an instant. Gureva on the deck looked at the entire sea in front of her in shock. After just blinking, it turned into polar frozen soil. She could no longer see anything.
seawater.
Now she had a thorough understanding of what an admiral was!
Although Aoki Pheasant is not a general yet, but only a replacement for a general, there is basically no difference in Gulewa's opinion.
the other side.
Just below the bottom of the sea that she couldn't see, the vast white frost continued to spread deeper and deeper, turning the seawater into ice wherever it went.
Until they encountered the 'Swallowing Island Lanternfish' that crashed into them.
First there is the 'huge lantern' with bright golden light above the head, followed by the fish head and body.
It is so big that even with the freezing speed of the Ice Age, it cannot be completely frozen in a short time, causing it to continuously break through layers of ice and climb towards the location of the warship.
The terrifying sound sounded to Dean Gulewa like an iceberg constantly collapsing a few hundred meters below...
Fortunately, after about a minute or two, all the sounds stopped.
"Xu————"
The semi-elemental Green Pheasant braved the wisps of cold air and landed on the uneven ice surface with spray ice sculptures everywhere, and sighed: "This fish is really big, much bigger than the average sea king...
..”
At the same time, he activated the freezing power in his body again.
This time, the ice surface not far in front of me split automatically, accompanied by a violent shaking like a rock. Many sailors on the deck had to hold on to the railings around them.
After a while.
A huge 'lantern fish' as huge as a mountain slowly rose up from the bottom of the 'ice sea' in the form of an ice sculpture, under everyone's stunned gaze.
But the most eye-catching thing is not its size that is comparable to that of a Malinfando, but the brilliant golden light that even the thick ice cannot stop!
"Pure gold..."
The eyes of the five old stars far away in the holy land of Mariejoia are already a little red.
Now that the 'lantern fish' has been successfully caught, the next step will be easy.
Two CP0s brought a thousand navy and a guide bird into the body of the giant fish, and then followed the spacious throat to a lake as wide as a lake, but the color was yellow and green, and exuded a strong sour smell.
'Sea of Acid'.
Fortunately, they had prepared enough small iron boats and gas masks in advance.
It didn't take long for them to discover a green island!
"Judging from the map, this should be the No. 1 stomach of the 'Lantern Fish'." CP0 on the left took out a somewhat crude map from his coat pocket.
I saw a rough drawing of the three stomachs in this 'lantern fish'.
Well...this is also Im's handiwork.
Not only that, they also consulted biological experts in advance to understand the internal structure of general lantern fish and how they would communicate with each other if they had three stomachs.
Therefore, the two of them still have an idea of how to act here.
Another COO nodded, pointed to the southeast and said: "Going 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 for us to find someone on this island."
But just when they were about to set off again, the team was attacked by a group of prehistoric dinosaurs!
Obviously, this 'lantern fish' must have swallowed an island similar to a 'small garden' recently. Fortunately, this is a force from the Navy Headquarters.
After a while, these twenty or so brown-red dinosaurs turned into corpses and fell on the beach.
Ordinary people might dismember it and use it as food, but their mission is to find pure gold, so they can only leave it here and let "nature" deal with it.
"How about we act separately?"
"That's right, it's just a matter of finding someone, you don't need to find everyone together."
After a brief discussion, the two CP0s decided that one person would stay with 500 people to find someone, while the other person would lead 500 people to Stomach No. 2. The task was also to find someone...
About an hour later, Qingzhi and Gulewa outside saw the two people they found on the deck.
A middle-aged man who looked very slovenly, embarrassed, and obese.
A little girl about ten years old with curly blond hair and a big green lizard she brought.
But the little girl turned her head angrily, as if she didn't want to look at the former. This made the middle-aged man's face look helpless and sad, but there was indeed an excited look deep in his eyes.
"Nice to meet you, Dr. Miskina Asier, I am Vice Admiral 'Qing Pheasant' from the Navy Headquarters, and this is Dean Gureva of the Medical College. I will be responsible for escorting you and your
The daughter goes to the Academy of Sciences.”
Kuzan greeted him very politely.
He already knew that this man was the maker of 'pure gold' more than two hundred years ago, and the other person was the other party's daughter Myskina Olga.
Not only that.
According to rumors from CP0, Dr. Asier is also proficient in dinosaur language and can communicate with dinosaurs!
It's so scary. What's the difference between this and Devil Fruit powers?
"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much for saving us and allowing our father and son to meet again. I am very satisfied, but can you let us take a shower, change clothes, and then..."
Dr. Myskina Asier said sheepishly.
"Ahem, cough, prepare some normal food. I have been eating raw meat for more than two hundred years, and Olga has been eating fruits for more than two hundred years."
Since seeing his daughter again, he no longer cares about the pure gold in the laboratory. As long as the ring on his daughter's hand is still there, it doesn't matter even if the other pure gold is taken away by the world government.
As for joining the Academy of Sciences, as a scientist, if he wants to earn money to support himself and his daughter, there seems to be no better option besides working for the World Government.
It's just that my knowledge has stagnated more than two hundred years ago, and I'm a little worried that I won't be able to keep up with the current scientific level.
"certainly."
Of course, Kuzan had no objection, and then he glanced at Olga, who still had a bad look on her face, and then took out a diary from the pocket of Justice's coat.
Then he squatted down, looked at this little girl who was over two hundred years old as straight as possible, and smiled.
"This is the diary we found in your father's laboratory. You can read it and you will know everything after reading it."
"ha?"
Olga took the thick diary in surprise, then turned around and opened the pages with hesitation. Seeing this, Kuzan stood up again and said to Dr. Asier.
"After you two have finished your dinner, you can ask Dean Guleva to check Olga's body."
But after hearing this, Dr. Asier shook his head bitterly and said: "Thank you Lieutenant General Aokiji for your concern, but Olga is a truly incurable disease. There is no other treatment except using pure gold to slow down the growth rate."
Method."
"Two hundred years ago, I was a quite famous scientist. Not only did I have a high status in the world, but I was also quite wealthy.
"So I've tried all the doctors I could find and tried all the drugs I could, but there's nothing I can do about her illness..."
at the same time.
Olga couldn't hear their voices at all, because all her mind was focused on the contents of the diary, but the more she looked at it, the more her eyes became redder.
She didn't expect that the pure gold was actually made by her father to save her, rather than because of greed as she thought, which led to the "Lantern Master" harming the whole family.
"oh?"
But the 'incurable disease' mentioned by Dr. Asier aroused the interest of Gu Lewa next to Aokiji.
What she likes to do most is to cure these so-called 'difficult diseases' and 'incurable diseases'. The previous 'platinum lead disease' was quite serious.
Although you can treat it through surgery, it is too slow and cannot save all the residents of the 'White Town'.
But she has gathered the strength of the entire medical school and still hasn't come up with a 'special medicine' yet.
And now, it seems that a very difficult opponent has appeared. This is so interesting. Is it an 'incurable disease' that the world's medical treatment cannot solve more than two hundred years ago?
Gulewa asked casually: "Do you know what her disease is called?"
"It's 'South China Sea Emperor Fever'!"
Dr. Asier will never forget this name in his life.
"ah?"
Gu Lewa was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with disappointment and said: "A doctor from the South China Sea developed a specific cure for this disease as early as fifty-four years ago."
"What!!"
On the other side, Im on the moon received the excited and trembling report from the five old stars.
"Sir Im..., CP0 found a piece of pure gold with a diameter of 2...20 centimeters in the laboratory under the ruins of Alchemy in Stomach No. 3."
"I was still searching in the 'lantern' of the 'lantern fish'... I was looking and found more than five hundred tons of pure gold!!"
After hearing this, Im raised his eyebrows and replied calmly.
"It's very good. Pack it up together and send it to the Ark."
After hearing Im's words, the five old stars who were far away in the power room only felt their hearts tightening for a moment, because who knows whether Lord Im will give them to them after taking away the pure gold?
