"name."
"Henderson Gates."
The soldier in charge of registration looked up as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong? Am I not handsome?"
After saying that, Ael pulled the collar of the torn coat, his eyes were blurred on his fat face, and he showed a confident smile.
handsome!
The rest: (;_)…
Registered soldier: "..."
Do you believe it or not that I kicked him away? !
"Okay, let's send him to Korkra after we still have to find a way out, and then we'll investigate slowly."
Watching this scene, Ron couldn't help but speak with a twitching corner of his mouth.
"Yes, General Canglong!"
The registered soldiers did not dare to neglect, wrote down the information in a few strokes, and took out a temporary pass.
"Although the victims will not be imprisoned, this is an emergency. If you are fine, you'd better stay in your room, otherwise don't blame our military for being ruthless!"
The registration soldier reminded him seriously and handed him the pass.
"oh… "
A'el weakly took the pass and raised his head unwillingly: "You really don't think I'm handsome?"
After saying that, he revealed a charming fat face.
“…”
The soldier turned his head to look at Ron with a desperate look on his face, signaling with his eyes: "General, can I hit someone?"
"As long as you are sure that he cannot make the matter public and it will not have a bad impact on the image of the navy and the government... Well, you can do whatever you want."
Ron puffed on his cigar, shrugged and returned the look.
Feeling the murderous aura in the air, Ael said: "...ah! The weather is so good today!"
"Then I'll go back to the room first, ha, ha, ha!"
Watching Ael, whose alias was "Henderson Gates", leave under the supervision of soldiers, Alva found Ron and reported: "Sir, the boat is ready and ready to go at any time!"
"Then let's go."
Ron waved his hand: "The rest of you, please be alert. We don't know what will happen here yet, do you understand?"
"yes!"
…
When Ron started hunting for treasure in the Lantern Master's stomach, he was on the Grand Line, on an unknown island.
"Does it really exist? Giant lantern fish!"
Looking at the photos taken by the submarine, Orrick's expression behind the mask was astonished, and he felt that his outlook on life had been greatly impacted.
"Let me see, let me see, Orric!"
Sugar stood on the side and looked around, but due to her height, she could only see a little bit of the color of the sea water.
"for you."
Orrick shook his head helplessly and handed the photo to Sugar.
After getting along with him for this period of time, Sugar became less and less afraid of him, and his personality became closer to that of a child. I don't know if this was a side effect of the childlike fruit that was about to awaken.
If he didn't attach great importance to Sugar's fruit ability and ordinary people dared to act coquettishly in front of him, Orric's backhand would be a slap in the face.
Taking the photo, Sugar opened her little cherry mouth in surprise.
"Wow! This is too big!"
Compared with that open mouth, the Navy's largest warship "War Behemoth" is not worth mentioning at all, as small as a sesame seed.
I'm afraid even if it swallows it, this lantern fish won't know what it has eaten.
"Yeah, no wonder all the decoys were wiped out, not even a single person survived. It turns out what they left behind was true."
"Then what do we do next?"
Granu bit her lollipop and tilted her head: "We finally cooperated with that weird uncle to attract the navy's attention. If we go back now, it would be like throwing ourselves into a trap, right?"
Back on Korkra Island, the only person who had actually been there was Sugar, and that "Orick" at that time actually had another mystery.
The purpose is to use this method to focus the attention of the navy and government on the new world of Korkra, thereby creating an opportunity for Orric's true plan.
but…
Who would have thought that giant lantern fish actually exists? !
Doesn’t this prove that the legend of Alchemy is true, and the legend of pure gold is also true? !
I always feel like I have picked sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
"No, in fact, that makes me even more certain that pure gold does not exist."
Suddenly, Orric said confidently.
"Huh? Why?"
Sugar asked in confusion.
Canglong took action himself because of this. How could it be fake
In response, Orric smiled confidently.
"Remember Granu, that guy Soryu is so ambitious... the coincidences that happen to him are never coincidences."
“…”
Feeling that his brain was not enough, Su Tang pouted and hummed: "It's too frank to be honest. I admit that I'm stupid, right?!"
Orrick: "..."
The little bastard is really going too far!
I am also a Tianlong after all, so show me some respect!
(□′)┻━┻
However, thinking that her previous master was also a Celestial Dragon, Orric sighed helplessly: "Okay... Let's put it this way, what you think CP0 has not investigated for several months, Canglong has investigated in the past week. Will it be true?"
Sugar isn't actually stupid, but he's just in a bad state lately.
Hearing this, he quickly understood and said incredulously: "You mean, he made up that legend? He deceived everyone?!"
How dare he? ! !
"Is there any evidence?"
"Not yet, but I believe that soon, he will appear in the world with pure gold and ask for credit from the Five Old Stars."
Having said this, Orric stretched out and leaned lazily on his chair: "This sea is really getting more and more interesting."
After hearing this, Sugar pouted and whispered to himself.
"Really? Why do I feel like it's getting more and more troublesome?"
…
At this moment, there is a very strange situation.
Orric had no idea that pure gold really existed.
And Ron didn't know that Orric didn't know that pure gold really existed.
Two guys who are famous for their scheming are trying to set traps for others, but by mistake, they fall into each other's traps.
If you have to find a reason for this situation, probably... This is the so-called "common problem of smart people".
As the saying goes, cleverness can lead to mistakes. This is the truth.
At this time, as the boat slid into the second huge stomach space, Ron looked at the red island in front of him and smacked his lips.
"Sure enough, after the stomach pouch came the stomach pouch, and there was a second island."
Different from the tropical rainforest in Stomach No. 1, this is a deserted island with a sand and gravel theme. The remains of a ship fell into the gravel jungle like falling from the sky and shattered into pieces.
From a distance, it looks like a garbage dump.
“Alva…”
Ron greeted.
The latter nodded and ordered: "The last three groups will stay to search, and the rest will continue to set off!"
Although Ael has to keep his name anonymous and cannot tell the public easily such as his two hundred years of life and his true identity, he can still tell some simple information.
For example, Lantern Master has three stomach pouches, and each stomach pouch has an island. There are some such trivial things on the island.
Otherwise, his identity as a victim of "wilderness survival" cannot be confirmed.
Ron also knew the information but couldn't explain the source. Now it was Ael... no, now he had to call him Henderson Gates, it was much easier.
According to him, the first island is a paleoecological island, which is home to various dinosaurs that have continued from ancient times to the present day.
The second island is a desert island with no signs of human life on it. The soil is alkaline, so no grass can grow on it.
"If you are looking for Alchemy, it should be the third island. There is a magnificent ruins on it, but there are many mechanisms inside, and I can't enter."
So said Henderson Gates.
However, in fact, this so-called "relic" is actually his former research institute. The reason why the pirates did not find pure gold back then was because the mechanism in the research institute blocked their way.
"yes!"
The team quickly divided into two parts. One part followed Ron and continued deeper, while the other part stayed to inspect the island and collect valuable things along the way.
Moving forward, soon the third island appeared in front of us.
"so big!"
Alva looked ahead in shock.
Compared with the islands in Stomach Pouch No. 1 and Stomach Pouch No. 2, the size of this third island has more than doubled.
The first two places are like floating islands and boats, surrounded by a sea of stomach acid, and this island directly fills most of the stomach bag, leaving only a trace of space.
I just don’t know if it’s just the middle, or if there are islands behind it.
Ron put down the telescope and handed it to him: "Found it, on the mountainside."
Alva cheered up after hearing this and took the telescope.
Sure enough, in the dense primitive jungle, a building with walls mottled and faded by time stood on the mountainside.
The Wangfu Stone, which seemed to be waiting for her husband's return, faced the direction they came in, majestic.
