Chapter 296 Challenger!
Ian naturally coveted Vegapunk.
Apart from anything else, the new energy source, the Holy Mother Flame, that he researched in the original work, Ian wanted to get it in his dreams.
After all,
It is not just the World Government that needs powerful energy to activate ancient weapons.
The Pluto, which has been buried underground in Wano Country for eight hundred years, is also in a state of energy depletion.
It also needs that powerful new energy to charge it.
Only by obtaining a powerful enough energy source can the Pluto show the terrifying power that can sink an island with one shot.
According to Stussy, it should not be too long before the research on energy is completed.
At that time, we only need to take the energy from the government, and then the final battle can begin.
It will be soon.
Thinking about it, I can’t help but feel a little excited.
After ending the call with Stussy, Ian summoned all the cadres who were staying on Ghost Island.
The gold emitting brilliant golden light was placed in front of them.
”Pure gold?”
Teacher Kai leaned down, widened his eyes like copper bells, and carefully looked at the gold nugget in front of him.
”Ian, you said this thing can give us a lifespan of more than tens of thousands of years?”
”At least tens of thousands of years.”
Ian emphasized again, “Any creature illuminated by the pure gold light will have its life speed slowed down dramatically.”
”Even living for 100,000 years may not be impossible.”
”100,000 years?”
Jack couldn’t help but be amazed.
Such a huge number, just thinking about it makes me feel nervous.
What a long time is this? The World Government has only been established for 800 years, but the world has changed a lot.
And 100,000 years is even 100 times longer than this period of history.
”That is to say…”
Hancock looked at Ian with tenderness.
Ian’s mouth twitched.
Although she didn’t say anything, her misty eyes said everything.
What she wanted to say was probably the same as what Yamato said before, that they could work together for 100,000 years.
”Such a long life, but it feels like you will lose your goal?”
Drake said, “In this almost unreachable time, are there really enough things worth fighting for?”
If you lose your goal in life, wouldn’t it be extremely empty and there would be no great meaning in living.
Drake thought so.
”That kind of thing doesn’t matter,”
Black Maria was very interested, “Ian, you said that as long as we are bathed in the light of pure gold, the speed of aging will be infinitely slowed down, doesn’t that mean we can stay young forever?”
Which girl can resist such a temptation?
”Hmm…”
Ian thought for a while, “Even if it is slowed down, time is still passing slowly. The time of youth may be very long, but the time of aging will also be very long?”
”Tsk.”
Violet was shocked.
To be an old woman for tens of thousands of years and then die is too cruel.
It’s better to wait until you are old and then turn into purple sand.
Ian smiled.
In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem. Many devil fruits can do it.
The first one is the retrograde fruit that Ain has in the original work.
One activation can make the age of the person touched regress by twelve years.
This itself is equivalent to the ability of immortality.
When paired with pure gold, it can only be said to be a sure kill.
”But it’s too early to say that now.”
Ian said with a smile, “Delaying aging does not mean that you won’t be killed. Pure gold cannot bring immortality.”
”As long as you lose in the final battle with the World Government, everything will be empty talk.”
If you lose, then the ending can only be the same as Joy Boy and his companions, being directly wiped out from the world and even history by the World Government.
At that time, no matter how much pure gold can delay aging, it will be useless.
”Then crush the World Government!”
Barrett’s eyes flashed fiercely, “This kind of thingIs there any need to say more? ”
”That’s right! You must kill the World Government! I will help! No one can stop me from keeping my youth!”
The speaker is Miss Uta, the chief singer of the Beasts Pirates, a charming girl with red and white hair.
The sixteen-year-old singer has grown into a beautiful and charming girl.
She naturally cannot resist the temptation of eternal youth.
”So, Ian!”
Teacher Kai also grinned and looked at his good apprentice excitedly, “When will the war with the World Government begin?”
”Soon.”
Ian said, “It should be soon. ”
After the energy from Vegapunk is completed and seized, it is time to start the war.
But before the war, there are still some preparations to be done.
For example, go to the final island to obtain the ultimate secret of this world, and inherit the legacy left by Joy Boy.
Before this, you have to go to the Whitebeard Pirates and get the last signpost from Senior Whitebeard.
By the way, the other monsters in the sea should also be dealt with.
It’s time to let them choose which side to stand on in the next war.
This time there is no option of neutrality for them to choose.
”Ugh, ugh!”
After hearing Ian’s answer, Teacher Kai laughed excitedly, “Then don’t let me wait too long!”
”That’s right! ”
Barrett, the second most militant figure in the White Beast Pirates, was also laughing loudly, “Hurry up and start this war to seize the world! !”
All the cadres couldn’t help but exude excitement in their eyes.
We are really close to seizing the world!
Among the cadres, the black fat man Teach was trying to make an excited expression, but he sighed unconsciously in his heart.
It’s already too late.
He has joined the Beast Pirates for six years. During these six years, he has deeply understood the power of this pirate group.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if he gets the coveted Dark Dark Fruit, it is absolutely impossible to shake the Beast Pirates.
As for the idea of taking advantage of the war between the Beast Pirates and the World Government to pick up leaks, that is even more nonsense.
Just kidding, where on earth can he pull up a team qualified to fight between these two giants? Are they a team that is looking for a chance to win the war between the two?
More importantly, Teach could not think of any possibility of defeating Lord Ian.
This Lord is far more powerful than the Whitebeard Father at his peak. He is beyond human common sense and has reached another dimension of strength!
There is only one thing that can be done now, that is to follow Lord Ian and witness his journey to conquer the whole world!
This seems to be a good idea.
Teach thought so.
He can still have a share of pure gold.
”By the way, the time of aging will be delayed, which means that normal growth will also be delayed,”
Ian warned, “Little ghosts whose bodies have not yet fully developed should not think about this thing for the time being.”
”Let’s talk about it when you grow up.” ”I don’t care. ”
Ace shrugged.
He wasn’t even twenty yet, so he didn’t have to think about staying young forever.
”As for the others,”
Ian looked at his companions, “one for each person, you can put it on jewelry and carry it with you.”
”Then we won’t be polite! ”
Black Maria smiled.
So, each of the staff members got a small piece of pure gold.
After the division, the pure gold the size of a human head looked the same as before, and even the excuse that it had been swept away by a layer of dust was not applicable at all.
That’s why it was said that this piece was more than enough.
There is a special factory on Ghost Island, and it only takes a few minutes to make special jewelry.
Soon, pieces of jewelry inlaid with pure gold were made.
Teacher Kai made a bracelet to replace the one he already had.
Black Maria and Violet chose to inlay the pure gold in the earrings.
Jack was even more straightforward, he made a hole in his teeth and buried the pure gold in it.
But if it comes to convenience, it must be Barrett, who activated the ability of the fusion fruit and directly let the pure gold merge with him, so that it will never be…Separation.
On the contrary, Ian was in a difficult choice at this time.
He looked at the two rings of different styles handed to him by two hands, and then looked up at the two women who handed him the two rings.
”Ian! Do you want her ring or mine!”
Yamato and Hancock said almost in unison, staring at Ian without blinking.
”Oh oh.”
Luo, who was watching the show on the side, made a strange cry of gloating.
Little sister Runti gnashed her teeth with anger, but there was nothing she could do. Her strength could not compete with the two elder sisters.
Now she could only watch here cowardly.
Ian sighed.
Then he stretched out his hands and took the rings from the two women.
“Ian!” X2 Yamato puffed up his cheeks, and Hancock also showed a sad look.
How could I want the ring of this white-haired bastard/slutty snake girl?
But Ian didn’t care what they were thinking, and gave one ring to each of them! Love is indeed selfish and exclusive, and it is very unfair to both girls.
But it’s already this time, how can I let go? I am a man who wants to be the king of the world, so it’s not too much to have a little privilege, right? The final result is that with Hancock’s sad eyes, Yamato chased and beat him all the way with a mace.
Soon after, someone came to Onigashima.
It’s not that they honestly entered Wano Country through the submarine port and then took a boat to Onigashima.
But they fell directly from the sky.
Bubbles like paws fell from the sky, and finally landed on the coast of the Ghost Island Port, directly smashing the ground into a shallow paw-shaped depression.
And the people transported from thousands of miles away by the bubbles finally landed on the land of this island.
”It’s Ghost Island!”
The cute little girl with pink hair raised her hands and ran out happily, “I can see Brother Ian again!”
”Don’t run around, Bonnie.”
The dignified woman with pink hair behind the little girl smiled and said.
”Mom! I’m going to find Brother Ian!”
The little girl turned back happily and waved to her mother, then ran towards the inside of Ghost Island. Looking at the familiar appearance, it was obviously not the first time she came here.
”Really, this child is a little too energetic.”
The woman, Ginny smiled and shook her head.
“I hope Bonnie can stay so energetic.”
Beside the woman, Xiong said with a smile.
”That’s right.”
Ginny leaned on her husband’s legs, watching her daughter running towards the island. The smile on her face was filled with happiness.
It’s great.
Is this the kind of life she longed for in the past?
“Hmph.”
While the couple was immersed in the happy atmosphere, the other man who came with them snorted, “Okay, let’s go find Ian first.”
The man with sharp eyes like an eagle raised his mouth, and his eyes revealed full of excitement, “Ian wants to give you a gift, and I happen to have a gift for him!”
”Mr. Mihawk…”
Xiong sighed softly, “Otherwise, let’s think about it again.”
The world’s number one swordsman has lived on Beehive Island for more than six years.
Although he is known as the world’s strongest swordsman, he is actually much easier to get along with than imagined.
On weekdays, this man neither picks trouble nor joins in the fun, but just practices swordsmanship silently.
It is hard to imagine that this man was so arrogant when he was young that he hunted the navy, so he was called the navy hunter.
The couple actually got along well with this man during these years.
So after knowing the purpose of Mihawk’s request to come to Onigashima with them this time, Xiong couldn’t help but feel worried.
How could he win? ”Bear, no need to say more, I want to see a new scenery!”
Mihawk said.
The next moment, a huge bubble opened from the depths of Onigashima, and a handsome man appeared directly in front of them.
Luo, who was originally smiling, raised his eyebrows in surprise after seeing Mihawk, “Hawkeye? What are you doing here?”
”You don’t need to”No matter what, just take me to see Ian.” Hawkeye said sternly. “Tsk.” Luo was shocked. “Then let’s go. I’ve already sent little Bonnie there.” The ability of the Operation Fruit was activated again. Hawkeye felt a flash before his eyes, and he appeared directly in an attic. In front of him was Ian sitting on the upper cushion, and Bonnie was chattering excitedly and dancing in front of him and talking to him. “Brother Ian! Listen to me! ”
Ian smiled at the cute little girl in front of him.
Bonnie is seven years old this year.
She has probably entered her prime.
She has a certain ability to think, but like a child, she firmly believes in some fantastic things.
In recent years, Ian has been sending some fantasy books to Beehive Island.
Then.
Ian looked up and looked at the Bear couple, “Bear, Ginny, thank you for coming all the way here, mainly because I have something to give you.”
As a cadre of the Beasts Pirates, Bear has also helped Ian to stay in Beehive Island for these years. He has made great contributions, and pure gold is of course indispensable.
Even next, Bear will have to send pure gold to other people.
”Oh? What is it?”
Ginny was very curious.
”You will know later. ”
Ian smiled and kept it a secret, then turned his head and looked at the man who was walking towards him with a knife on his back.
”Mihawk, my good friend, I haven’t seen you for many years. Do you have any advice?”
Hawkeye raised his lips, “Ian, come and fight!”
Oh? One chapter less, I will make it up tomorrow (End of this chapter)
