One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 125 This news is really exciting!

"Kukuku! Red nose, eat my air pressure cannon!"

"boom--!"

On the parade ground in the central area, Walter aimed a hand cannon that looked like it was made of processed cloud at Bucky, and there was an explosion when he gently pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh——"

A ball of wind that was as fast as the speed of sound flew out from the hand cannon and hit Buggy hard, causing him to retreat six or seven meters before stopping, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Ohhh! That's amazing, Walter, you are a genius!"

Shanks was cheering and cheering for Walter not far away, paying no attention to his injured friend.

Bucky secretly groaned in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have made the bet with Walter. Not only did he lose a full one million Baileys, but he also got injured.

But this did not make him angry, after all, it was his own choice. What made him angry was the attitude of his good friend Shanks! He did not come to comfort him about his injuries immediately!
He proposed the bet just to get Walter to call his father Ross for help! Shanks is so disloyal!

So Buggy turned to Shanks and shouted:

"Asshole Shanks, don't you see that I, Uncle Buggy, am injured? Do you still want Bailey in the future?"

“Ahhh, sorry, Uncle Buggy, I’ll come and check your wound right away, ahahahaha!”

Shanks came to Buggy with a smile, pretended to be funny to cheer him up, and then pretended to check his hit chest.

A big hole was torn in the clothes, revealing the skin that was beaten red by the wind ball, and it looked quite strong and firm.

Although the impact of the wind group reached the speed of sound, it was still just the wind caused by a group of impact. At most it could only cause penetrating damage to the internal organs. For Buggy, it was only a minor injury and he could recover by eating some food.

On the other side, Walter came over with a smug look on his face. The hand cannon in his hand was already broken and obviously scrapped.

"Hehe, you looked down on my invention, and now you've suffered a lot. Don't forget our bet! One million Baileys~"

Walter directly rubbed salt into the other party's wound, but he still took out a bottle of special pills and handed it over, saying:

"Here you go. Just take two pieces. It's produced by the Nasdaq family and my eldest brother. One piece has the same energy as a pound of sea king meat! It's really rare!"

Bucky didn't say anything, but silently took the medicine bottle, poured out two pills and swallowed them according to Walter's instructions.

A warm current began to flow into his limbs and bones, similar to the digestion time after eating a big meal of sea king meat, and soon the injuries were healed.

After thinking it over, Bucky could only utter "thank you" and returned the medicine bottle to Walter without saying a word.

Walter smiled triumphantly, then looked at the hand cannon in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The small experiment a few days ago gave him an idea, so he conducted experiments using ordinary water and sea water respectively.

Finally he discovered the difference between the two.

Because of the seastone factor in the seawater, the pressure generated in the steam test is obviously more violent, and after condensation, the clear seawater will become viscous and turbid.

Finally, after one day, it turns into a solid substance similar to a viscous substance.

This phenomenon will vary in strength depending on the concentration of the seastone factor. As far as Walter knows, the strongest pressure can reach more than six times the pressure generated in an ordinary boiling water steam test!
Walter didn't know what the principle was, but that didn't stop him from exploring, and he finally made this hand cannon that was scrapped after one shot.

During this period, Shanks and Buggy would help him. Of course, Shanks accounted for 90% of the credit, and Buggy would sometimes make things worse.

Finally, today he made a hand cannon that could instantly unleash a powerful impact, which led to this bet.

Bucky looked down on his invention and used it as an introduction to propose a bet. If he could cause damage to him, he would be given one million Baileys. If not, he would need to call his dad for help.

Walter certainly understood that Bucky was looking for trouble for a clear purpose, but he didn't say anything because he had full confidence in his invention!
His confidence proved to be correct, but not entirely correct.

"The structure of the cloud is still too fragile, even if it was made by my father himself. I just happen to have one million Baileys, so I can buy a lot of better materials..."

Looking at his scrapped invention, all kinds of wonderful ideas began to burst out in Walter's mind.

...............

On the other hand, Ross didn't know that his third son Walter was so smart and capable, but even if he knew, he would only support him with all his strength.

He was currently drinking tea with Garp in Rossburg, waiting for night to fall, and finally discussing the matter of the secret treasure with Roger and others in secret.

Time passes slowly.

After inviting Garp, Long and others to dinner and arranging their accommodation, Garp and Ross quietly left in the dead of night. It was about 1:30 in the middle of the night. Ross and Garp walked on the empty street. The night light shone on them, like evil spirits walking in the dark.

Everything about the center of Yun Island is good except that it is too quiet at night. There is none of the chirping of insects or birds like in ordinary islands. It is completely dead.

At this moment, only the amusement area has people lighting up and playing, and it is run by three shifts around the clock.

Not long after, Ross and Cap met up with Roger and his two companions outside the residential area.

After all, in the perception of observation, these physical masters are like big light bulbs in the night. As long as they don't deliberately restrain their aura, they can be easily detected.

"Come on, let's go straight down. There's no need to be so formal like we were during the day."

Ross's words made the other four people nodded, and then he stopped talking nonsense. He raised his hand and covered the few people and sank them into the sea clouds, creating a hollow meeting cube just like during the day.

Although it was pitch dark here, with their perception it was no different from being in the sunlight. They quickly sat down and waited for Ross to speak.

Everyone was looking forward to what the secret treasure Ross was talking about was.

Under the four pairs of fixed eyes, Ross slowly revealed a term, a term that made them all hold their breath:

"You know... pure gold?"

"Pure gold!" X4
"Oh my god, Poseidon, are you kidding me, Ross? Isn't pure gold just a legend?!"

Garp was the first to ask impatiently.

Just like the story of Noland, the liar, the story of pure gold is also widely circulated, symbolizing endless wealth, but also containing the meaning of a curse.

No one knows what the curse is, but it is said to be very scary. However, Garp knows that it was just made up by the Celestial Dragons to conceal a certain truth, and he does not know the details.

But even so, the wealth contained in pure gold alone is worth exploring for every adventurous person!
"Oh wow! Another thrilling adventure, Ross. I really should have met you earlier!"

Roger was very excited. This kind of adventure was what he loved most in his life. Only Rayleigh and Jabba were a little disappointed.

After the initial shock, Cap calmed down. He knew that pure gold alone was not enough for Ross to regard it as a "secret treasure"!
Naturally, Garp's expression could not escape Roger and the others' notice. They did not know Ross, but they knew Garp, so they all waited attentively for Ross's next words.

Ross nodded and confirmed Cap's guess. Pure gold not only represents unimaginable wealth!
The pure gold known to the world simply represents endless wealth. Only a few people know its true function. It’s just that the records of its greatest value have been erased by the Celestial Dragons!

Just like erasing the Valley of the Gods incident, after just a few years, more than half of the people can still remember the incident that shook the sea. This shows the foundation that has allowed the group to stand for eight hundred years!

Without keeping anyone in suspense, Ross directly stated the true effect of pure gold and said:

"If I say that pure gold can delay aging, would you believe it?"

The atmosphere was silent. No one answered Ross's question. Everyone was in deep shock.

Delay...lifespan?
Is this true? If this thing really existed, wouldn't the World Government have grabbed it long ago? How could it be their turn?

wrong……

Roger and others fell into a brief period of suspicion and then dispelled their suspicions. If the World Government really got the pure gold, then why would news about it spread?

And it only means that it can be exchanged for endless wealth and will bring some kind of terrible curse?

They all turned their heads to Ross, with anticipation and a little greed in their eyes, but they still had clear minds and decided to follow Ross's arrangements in everything.

Faced with life span, even Roger could not resist the temptation. After all, his biggest enemies now are disease and life span!
If life span can be extended, perhaps the disease can also be extended!
This is a glimmer of hope! He can't give up!
"It seems that you have already got the answer in your hearts. Indeed, pure gold can prolong life and infinitely delay a person's time, which is close to stagnation. This includes hidden injuries, diseases, etc.!"

Ross revealed even more shocking and greedy news. They are all smart people and naturally know what it is like to almost stagnate their own time.

This means that their recovery speed has also been "stagnant"!

But it doesn’t matter! In the face of life, none of this matters!
Isn’t there a surgery fruit that can cure all diseases?
If it doesn't work, take off the pure gold!

Stagnant life span will not accelerate aging, it will just make your life less.

No wonder, no wonder Ross said the deal with such an expression at that time, and he didn't even guarantee how many people would come after them!

Tsk tsk... This is more than just a hunt. Once the World Government gets the news, they will probably immediately issue a kill order and send out the Knights of God to snatch the pure gold!
Ross was actually willing to break this shocking news to them, and was willing to share it among the three parties. He is truly a kind-hearted man!
"We must win..."

Several people thought to themselves.
