Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 678 Let’s go! Looking for Lantern Master! (44)

The brighter it is, the more it proves to be genuine, and the more genuine it is, the more attention it will attract from the people above.

That's right!

No matter what Orrick is going to do or planning, Ron intends to use pure gold to shake up the current world government.

I still remember that in the original book, after the treasure maniac failed, CP0 reported the situation to Rob Lucci and asked whether to send people to continue searching. Lucci's answer was: "No, in order to maintain balance."

Then the focus shifted to the "Golden Emperor" Tezoro, who hired a treasure maniac to steal the treasure.

It can be seen that they were very clear at that time in their minds about the impact that the appearance of pure gold would bring to the world. Whether it could buy the world was a false proposition... But pure gold had the ability to slow down the growth of all things infinitely, thereby achieving immortality, which was enough to drive people crazy!
Therefore, even though it would make the Celestial Dragons dissatisfied, Rob Lucci decisively gave up the search for pure gold, concealed the news and diverted the focus to Tesoro.

Outsiders only saw the ability of pure gold to make people immortal, but Ron saw the truth behind this thing that was prevented, which was enough to pry open the government!
"Then... as the director, I declare that the performance officially begins!"

……

The next day, Rob Lucci found Ron in surprise and asked, "General Canglong, is it true? You found clues related to pure gold?!"

At this time, Rob Lucci knew nothing about the original book. CP0 has been very busy recently, constantly searching for clues, hoping to find the trace of Orrick.

If Ron hadn't suddenly ordered the Qilin to prepare supplies for the voyage, Lu Qi would not have been interested in coming to him for inquiries.

"It's just a legend, not a clue."

In response, Ron slowly blew out a smoke ring and said, "But it's not a big deal to stay here all the time. I plan to go and take a look myself. Wouldn't it be great if I could find something like Chief Zero?"

Lu Qi: "..."

Are these two in a fight?
No wonder he thought so.

Zero's discovery caused an uproar in the government. After receiving the reward, the Five Elders, who had already mobilized a large number of troops, sent out the "Ark" Maxim, which was modified by Vegapunk, and gave it to Zero to command.

To sum it up in four words: increase efforts!
As the commander-in-chief of the assassination team that dislikes each other, Ron has been staying in Korkra these days, but the mission has made no progress.

Seeing that Ling was praised and rushed to various places in full swing every day, he naturally couldn't sit still.

Otherwise, what awaits him is "relying entirely on peers to set him off."

The only difference from the last time the bear invaded G10 is that this time it is Zero and CP0 that are highlighted.

Taking this into consideration, Lu Qi suddenly felt that the so-called clue was not important at all.

It's just an excuse.

Because Ron had to take the initiative and do something to prove himself, instead of waiting for the information to come back and then deal with it.

"In that case, I wish General Canglong good luck in military affairs!"

Rob Lucci, who had no idea what would happen next, was somewhat delighted at this moment.

Canglong left and the commander-in-chief was also out chasing him. The only ones left in the town of Korkra were him and the five lieutenant generals from the headquarters who came with the Demon-Slaying Order.

In terms of authority, as a senior executive of CP0, he is much higher than people like Spider Ghost and there is no need for him to live his life under the auspices of others.

Thinking of this, Lucci wished Ron would leave sooner.

……

At the port, the Qilin, which was ready to go, slowly started up. The soldiers performed their duties and arranged themselves on the deck.

"You really don't need us to accompany you, Ron?"

Veteran Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel frowned. Since he was in charge of the survival training of Ron's new recruits, he didn't have to be so careful with his words.

"If the legend is true, what kind of monster would it be?"

"A warship without even a look after it, it's too dangerous!"

This legend was not recorded in any other documents, but was what Ron heard from an elder in the town... Of course, that elder was deliberately arranged by Ron in order to tell this seemingly extremely unreal legend to the public.

It is said that shortly after the disappearance of Alkami Island, a fisherman who went out to sea (yes! It was them again!) discovered a strange beam of light on the sea.

The light was so charming and shining in the dusk that he moved closer to it unconsciously.

But at this moment, suddenly, the light began to move!
Behind the sea covered by the golden light, there was a huge shadow below. It had a pair of eyes bigger than the palace, and its mouth was as wide open as an abyss with no end in sight. The fishermen were frightened and hurriedly sailed away, no longer caring to watch the golden light.

When he ran far enough, he looked back and was shocked to find that the golden light actually came from a huge lantern fish that was indescribable.

Its dorsal fin pierced the sky, and one of its scales was bigger than a house. In the dim sea, it looked at the light emitted by the lantern on its forehead and howled continuously.

This is a legend that no one can confirm whether it is true or not.

The world of One Piece is full of wonders. It is said that the giant sea kings living at the bottom of the doldrums are as big as a piece of land and can easily smash the red soil continent.

So no one can tell for sure whether such a lantern fish exists.

But this was the only clue they could find, and if they gave up, they might as well go back home.

But because of his good nature, the flying squirrel did not recommend Ron to take the risk. At least he should take them with him to look after them.

"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel. Do you think I would be such a reckless person?"

Ron smiled and said, "The Qilin is the flagship that I asked someone to renovate when I was a major general. The metal passages on it are interconnected and completely under my control. Even if we really encounter a monster, it won't be that easy to sink it."

"Not to mention, with my current strength, is there any sea king that can hurt me?"

As a nature-type person, simple collision is meaningless to Ron.

As a thunder and lightning man, he can even travel freely in the sea water by holding up the electromagnetic barrier.

As the new admiral of the navy, he has an outstanding record and unparalleled strength. If he really encounters a sea king, it is still unknown who will kill whom.

Seeing Ron's firm attitude, the flying squirrel thought about it and said, "Okay, be careful on your way!"

"Don't worry, maybe I'll make a wasted trip."

Ron blinked, looked up at the other lieutenant generals, and said, "While I'm away, you will each restrain your soldiers and don't let anything embarrass me."

"If there's an emergency and you can't get through to me... Flying Squirrel!"

"To!"

Ron took out a golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket and handed it to the shocked flying squirrel.

"I authorize you to launch the Demon Slayer Order!"

This is an extremely heavy trust!

As a veteran, the flying squirrel knows clearly that taking over the Den Den Mushi means that the life and death of Korkra Island depends on his own hands.

One order, and all bones sink!

If possible, the flying squirrel does not want to take on the burden.

But he had no choice.

Look at the group of people behind him. If the Demon Slayer Order Den Den Mushi is handed over to Hawkish officers such as Onigumo, Kolkara Island can remove the "life" and "survival" from "Life and Death".

In order to block the news, the hawkish military officers' usual practice is to kill all those who know the news.

Taking the Den Den Mushi solemnly, the flying squirrel swore loudly: "Please rest assured, Admiral, I will never bring discredit to the navy or the government!"

If the situation really reached that level of urgency, the flying squirrel would not be pedantic and would be ruthless enough to issue the demon-killing order.

"I trust you……"

Ron nodded in satisfaction and stood up straight: "Then everyone, please!"

"Yes!"

The five men saluted in unison and sent Ron aboard the ship.

Sorry for the long wait. It’s the weekend, so I can’t help feeling lazy. Fortunately, I didn’t put it off until the next day (update time).
