Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 424 Uncovering the Mystery
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air and everyone remained silent.

"Pfft!"

Chatun couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Tea, pig!"

The cold call from the underworld made Chatun shudder. He quickly turned his head away and covered the smile on his face with a cough.

Staring at Chatun with hatred, Taotu looked at Ron, with a dangerous aura that was not concealed at all. She gritted her teeth, but had to pretend to smile and said, "Has Vice Admiral Canglong given up?"

"Yeah, let's quit while we're ahead!"

"What if the treasure inside is not worth 2 billion? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Ron nodded calmly, took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, then asked Chatun for a lighter. The latter was trying to hold back his laughter and his face turned red. He took out a lighter with a resentful look to help him light it, which made Taotu furious!

Know when to quit, these are what Taotu just said.

A visible black gas emerged from the peach rabbit's back, the Jinpiluo screamed sharply, and the terrifying sharp sword intent began to spread.

"Ahem, then..."

The flying squirrel ignored the interaction between the two, faithfully played his role as host, and picked up the gavel.

"1.95 billion, first time!"

Taotu's face turned even darker.

Everyone knows the character of the flying squirrel. He doesn't care whether you have difficulties or not. Maintaining the order of the auction is absolute to him. He will not be biased towards any party based on closeness or distance. This is what is called "fair justice."

Moreover, the average auction price of a treasure map is less than 300 million. This piece of material is quite special, but it is only worth about 1 billion at most.

Now that the price has been called up to 1.9 billion, it’s time to start the hammering.

"1.95 billion, second time!"

He calmly glanced around the conference table to make sure no one continued to bid, then he hammered down.

"1.95 billion..."

Taotu was so angry that he stared at Ron with murderous eyes.

But when she heard the third bid, there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

1.95 billion, this is not a small amount!
In some small countries, this is a huge amount of money that is enough to ensure that all the citizens have enough food and clothing for a year!

As the leader of the female soldiers, she and He were indeed rich, but money didn't come from the wind! Ron wasted a billion without any pain, but they couldn't afford it.

However, the flying squirrel was like a cold-faced devil, and did not hesitate at all for Taotu's difficulties. Seeing that the hammer was about to fall, Taotu was already considering going out to find Ron to join forces.

"Two billion!"

Swish!
The hammer stopped one centimeter away.

The flying squirrel raised his head calmly, and then continued to shout in a businesslike manner, like a robot, with a flat tone: "Two billion first times!"

Peach Rabbit: "..."

Don't stop me, I'm going to beat this bastard to death today! !
……

A treasure map with unknown details was sold for 2 billion, and Lieutenant Gumier became the biggest winner! He happily handed over the information he had collected over the past ten years to Ron as a favor.

After all, no one believed that Ron really solved the puzzle on the treasure map in such a short time.

After the auction, Ron was pestered by Chatun to join the gang. Ron thought about it and invested 50 million, plus the 150 million he had just earned, raising a total of 200 million. He happily ran off to find someone to gamble with.

There are many gamblers among the lieutenants in this unit, and Chatun is just a typical example.

Ok……

Buy from him and the villa will be by the sea.

That kind of "typical".

After dealing with Chatun, Ron asked while packing up the things he had photographed, "Hey, where are those spies?"

The men in white suits who had served as supervisors and attendants at the auction were now missing, not a single person was seen.

The turmoil in Water Seven has already happened, and Rob Lucci became CP0 two or three years ahead of schedule. So where did the other people in CP9 go?

Ron was very curious about this.

"They went back after the auction, otherwise why would they stay for dinner?"

The Navy has basically no good feelings towards the CP organization which has more power than them. Many times those people have failed to implement the justice of the Navy because of mutual protection among officials. The flying squirrel removed the disguise on his face and his expression became lively.

He pursed his lips and didn't want to say more, but suddenly asked curiously.

"…But Ron, did you really solve the puzzle above?"

Ron, who was once in charge of his survival training on Hell Island, had a good impression of him. He nodded and said, "That's right, it's just that the location is quite far away, and I don't have time to go treasure hunting for the time being."

"hiss……!!"

“It was actually solved!”

The flying squirrel took a breath of cold air. Ron's expression didn't seem fake, and he wasn't the kind of person who liked to brag.

I couldn't help but continue asking, "What is the answer to the riddle?" It is almost a living thing's instinct to find the answer out of curiosity.

But after saying this, the flying squirrel quickly came to his senses and waved his hands: "Forget it, this is your stuff, keep it secret."

"It's not that serious. How much treasure can a group of pirates leave behind? Go ahead and see if you want."

Ron looked at him amusedly and pulled the treasure map out of the paper tube.

After solving the puzzle, Ron was certain that he had lost money on the 2 billion auction price.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s just 2 billion!

Just take it as a fun thing.

I, Ron, have plenty of money!
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of others. Except for Chatun and a few others who gathered together to gamble, the other lieutenant generals came over curiously.

The puzzle treasure map that almost caused a misunderstanding, who would believe me if I said I wasn’t curious?

Even Aokiji walked over lazily, holding his chin with one hand.

"Since Vice Admiral Canglong can tell directly from the appearance, it is definitely not a layer of interlayer!"

"You are talking nonsense! Lieutenant General Gumier has had it for ten years and has studied it thoroughly. There is no interlayer at all!"

"What's the secret behind the pattern and text above? These two parts look like they can be put together."

"I think it's the color that's the problem... Look at this desert, doesn't the lighter part look like a rooster?"

The lieutenant generals expressed their opinions and began to search for the answer to the mystery.

"Can you see it directly from the outside?"

Aokiji chewed on these words silently, a gleam in his sleepy eyes.

After a moment, he rubbed his afro in distress: "Ah, this kind of troublesome thing is really not suitable for me!"

Ron looked at him silently, and the place where Aokiji's gaze rested was also where he discovered the trick.

This proves that Aokiji must have discovered the problem, but given his personality, he is too lazy to bother thinking about it.

"Since you don't care, then tell everyone the answer!"

The flying squirrel scratched his ears and cheeks but couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only ask Ron for help.

"Okay, I'll start now."

Ron shrugged and placed his hands on the edge of the cloth.

"Have you ever thought about why such a tough silk fabric is used as a treasure map?"

"Afraid of damage?"

"This is a normal way of thinking... If the treasure map is real, in order to avoid damage during the circulation process, the material should be as tough as possible."

"But, this is just a trick by the person who left this treasure map!"

Ron expressed his opinion, and then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, a faint electric light slowly seeped into the cloth along the edge. The scarlet cloth suddenly flashed with electric light, forming a glowing grid.

"I know, it's the silver thread inside!"

Looking at the silver threads tangled like needle and thread, someone soon remembered the introduction of the flying squirrel just now.

"Yes, the real secret lies in these silver threads!"

Ron used his exquisite control to cover all the silk threads with electric current, and then shook them vigorously.

Chi!

The tough cloth was torn into pieces by the violent electric light. Before the others could scream, the silver threads inside that were like bones made them shut up.

"It's the picture in the picture!!"

I saw that there was a lot of pigment left on each piece of silk thread. Standing farther away, I could clearly see that when these pigments were connected together, they looked like a treasure map.

"Yes, this is the real secret of the treasure map."

Ron twisted up the thin silver thread and showed it to everyone.

"Including those ancient characters that caused a misunderstanding, they are actually just minor details used to deceive people, making them think that the real secret lies in those patterns and characters, thus ignoring the truth."

Ron spread the electric current on his hand, found the opening and closing of the "silver wire skeleton", twisted them and pulled hard.

Crunch!

The metal wire was suddenly pulled tight, filling the gaps, and the treasure map could no longer hide.

"When I first saw this treasure map, I was wondering why there was an extra mark on the pattern when there was clearly no need to add one more stroke."

"For example, the deformed ancient characters that caused the misunderstanding were so exaggerated that they made me feel like they were deliberately covering up something."

"Later I discovered that there was a silver thread underneath each trace, which certainly couldn't be a coincidence... So I connected them all and rearranged the pigments on them, and this is the answer I got."

This was a crude sea chart, and the black flag with a skull in the corner proved that it came from a certain pirate group. 300 years had not changed much knowledge in this area, and as navy officers, everyone present could understand it.

At the same time, above the nautical chart, there are several obvious large characters printed there.

Alabasta!
