Next, Ron began to prepare preparations while waiting for Tezolo to deliver the "pure gold".
According to Olga, someone discovered the Lantern Lord a few months ago and blinded one of its eyes through an explosion.
For this reason, Ron had to prepare for the worst and believe that someone else knew the whereabouts of the pure gold.
A few days later, the CP0 chief, the bald Zero, came back.
Hard work paid off. He personally led the team on the trip and found some amazing clues in the sea area, so he came back to report them.
"So, the explosion that Olga felt was caused by Orric?"
Ron frowned silently, this was not good news.
"Is the news confirmed?"
"Yes!"
Dong Te quickly replied through the phone bug: "There is a fruit-sniffing person within the government, and he was brought out by Zero this time."
"During a routine inspection after discovering the wreckage of the ship, we accidentally discovered that it was stained with Orric's scent... At present, Wulaoxing has sent people to the sea area where the incident occurred to collect more remains, hoping to deduce Orric's identity. Where to come.”
The Sniffing Fruit is a rare and unusual variety among the Superman-type Devil Fruits. It is different from the Rubber Fruit and the Nuo-Nuo Fruit in that the superhuman physique is permanent and effective, and it is also different from the Speed-Reducing Fruit and the Imitation Fruit, which have superpowers that can be used at will.
This devil fruit only strengthens certain parts of the body of the esper, such as eyes, nose, mouth, throat, etc.
The ability to activate fruits must also rely on this type of organ.
The Swallowing Fruit of the former King Valpo of the Drum Country, the Staring Fruit of Princess Violet of Dressrosa, the Meat Ball Fruit of Bartholomew Bear, and the Sonic Fruit of Eddrago all belong to this category. .
It sounds like they all have very funny and weak abilities.
But from the above examples, we can see that the effect of this kind of local mutant devil fruit is not only not weak, but should not be underestimated!
They are not the kind of fruits where "what I am born with will be useful" and where the starting point is low and all depends on personal development, but once eaten, they can exert good effects.
The same goes for sniffing fruit.
It not only allows the esper to have a sense of smell several times stronger than that of the sharpest known wild animals, but also gives them all kinds of incredible abilities.
For example, the traces of Orric were discovered this time...
After such a long time and being washed away by rain, it stands to reason that it would be impossible to tell anything by smell alone.
But he can tell through a soaked and swollen wooden board how many people have walked on it, and then classify them into categories to determine the smell of each person, and even what time the person walked by and from what angle. Information from the past and so on can be distinguished.
It is said that it can take up to twenty years (to be verified)!
This ability is not so much the sense of smell, but rather the ability to travel back in time, the kind that only has taste but no pictures and sounds.
The information Ron had read before was integrated after his processing. Otherwise, how could so many people have noticed Orric's movements before the incident happened.
"Now that the Five Old Stars have given orders, it's certain."
The movement that Olga discovered before was caused by Orric!
Ron narrowed his eyes slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, they didn't boldly enter Lantern Master's belly after the ship was destroyed. After leaving, they traveled to Korkra several times, wanting to investigate something, and then..."
"Tsk, the information is still not enough!"
Whether Orric was looking for the Lantern Master on purpose or if he bumped into it by accident? Whether Korkra knew the whereabouts of the pure gold or was planning ahead, it is impossible to analyze based on the existing intelligence.
Rubbing his temples with a headache, Ron ordered: "Okay, go ahead and be careful not to let anyone find out."
The fact that the captain of the assassination force was spying on CP0 would make it difficult for anyone to expose it.
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Ron put the phone bug aside and smoked his cigar silently.
"When Tezolo delivers the fake pure gold, the plan can begin to be implemented..."
It has never been Ron's style to block the enemy. To break the deadlock, you need to take the initiative!
…
After waiting for a while, this morning, a merchant ship docked at the port.
"who?!"
A circle of marines quickly surrounded them, leaving their formation and ready to attack at any time.
"Master of the Navy, I am a serious businessman, and someone told me to come here to deliver something!"
Looking at the navy who roughly boarded the ship to inspect the cargo, the captain said anxiously.
"Oh? Someone told you to come?"
The ensign in charge of patrol came over and stared at him closely: "Who is it?!"
"it's me!"
A majestic voice sounded, and everyone looked back and saluted immediately.
"General Canglong!"
The person who came was none other than Ron. He stepped forward and said to the captain: "During the last inspection, I found that the food in the town would not be used for long, so I used my own connections to send someone to send a batch... How many of you? Let’s arrange for someone to unload the goods.”
"yes!"
Admiral Soryu is a well-known rich man in the navy. In addition, after being stationed for so many days, the small town's food storage has burdened both CP0 and the navy. There is not much left. These soldiers have heard about it, so they are not surprised at all. Immediately arrange manpower to start unloading.
The injection of new food made the town cheer. They were even prepared to go hungry these days. Unexpectedly, Ron took the initiative to buy food and sent someone to deliver it.
While dealing with the residents' thanks, Ron found an opportunity and took the captain to a hidden and uninhabited location.
"General Canglong!"
Arriving here, the captain who looked like a philistine just now immediately expressed a solemn expression and knelt down on one knee: "This is what Lord Tezzolo ordered me to bring you, and at the same time I have a message for you: because time is limited, I will only make it." ”
The man took out a box from his arms, which was about the same size as the box Ron used when he tricked Teach.
Not surprisingly, the fake pure gold inside is about the same size as a Devil Fruit.
Despite the long journey, Tezzolo said he was exhausted from producing such a large piece of fake gold in just a few days.
"Well, I'm done."
Ron took the box and asked nonchalantly: "By the way, has the density been calculated? Don't let anyone identify it as a fake."
"Um???"
The captain looked up in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Oh, I didn't ask you... you go down first. As a captain, you will arouse suspicion if you disappear for too long."
The captain, who didn't know that he had been through hell before, didn't dare to refute. He nodded repeatedly and replied: "I know, I'll go back right now!"
Watching him go away, Ron opened the cipher text lock according to the method Tezzolo told him in advance, opening a slight gap.
Suddenly, a strong golden light emerged from the gap.
A strong auditory hallucination vaguely appeared in my middle ear.
"Wow, golden legend!"
Snapped!
Ron fastened the box tightly with his backhand, observed the surroundings through Skynet, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Scare me!"
"Isn't this even brighter than pure gold?!"
"but… "
Thinking of this, the corners of Ron's mouth curled up: "The brighter, the better!!"
