Chapter 18

Regardless of the purity issue, the golden lump weighs four to five hundred tons by visual inspection.

"That's enough."

Yi Di ordered Chenlong to stop smelting and open the system at the same time.

As a precious metal, the general equivalent, the value of gold in this world is about 500-600 million Baileys per ton.

The large piece of gold in front of him was worth more than 200 billion, which was enough to pay for the research funds he owed the system.

【Whether to pay...】

yes!

Most of the gold in front of him suddenly disappeared, and in the next moment, a massive amount of knowledge poured into Edie's brain.

The recipe for cloning chamber filling fluid...

Methods to extract, fuse, and transplant two bloodline factors...

How to make clones born with the ability of the Blue Dragon Fruit...

How to extend the life of clones...

How to compile the bloodline factors of the embryo and impose ideological stamp on it...

About how green blood is made...

About how blue blood is made…

The engineering problem of the Ring of Ability...

Edie seemed to be swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and scientific research problems opened his arms to him at this moment.

As if she had touched the door of truth, Edie not only did not feel pain in her brain, but also felt a physical pleasure.

He closed his eyes tightly and silently digested this huge amount of knowledge.

Chen Long stood aside, guarding his appearance to prevent anyone from disturbing the Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father is defenseless at this moment.

Half an hour passed like this...

Edie slowly opened her eyes, her expression extremely clear.

"Ah...I see."

He understood everything.

At this moment, he surpassed Vegapunk and can be said to be the scientist who knows the most about bloodline factors in the world.

Far ahead!

"Whether it is a clone or an ability ring, there are many flaws..."

"Clones need to be maintained every once in a while, and ability rings need to be replenished with blue blood..."

"It seems that a cloning laboratory must be established as soon as possible."

Edie pondered for a moment and looked at the remaining golden lumps.

Its size has shrunk a lot, and the remaining part is estimated to be worth fifty to sixty billion.

"Come on, take it with you."

Chenlong was stunned for a moment and said: "Heavenly Father, there are many more here, why don't you take them away?"

The gold smelted just now is just a drop in the bucket. There is gold everywhere in this ancient ruins, and it won't be able to be melted all in a while.

"What are you taking away now? We still need to build a treasury. It will be more convenient to get it later when we are short of money."

Just move the gold away before Enero comes here.

And Enel will come in 12 years.

It's early.

"I understand!" Chenlong immediately transformed into a green dragon, reached out with his claws, and grabbed the remaining gold nugget.

Then, he bowed his head and sent the dragon's head to Edie's feet.

Edie stepped forward:

"Let's go to Gaya first. After flying for three days, let's have a good meal."

…

Gaya Island, Magic Valley Town.

Four years ago, 14D Roger’s words before his death ushered in the era of great pirates.

Countless men with dreams of getting rich set sail to sea, and pirates along the Grand Line increased in number.

Four years have passed, and now the town of Magic Valley on this island has become a place where pirates spend money like water.

At this time, the town's tavern.

The rude and noisy sound of the pirates drinking wine could be heard in my ears.

"Heavenly Father, do you want to kill them?" Chen Long whispered.

Edie sat at a table in the corner, looking at the newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"It's time to eat, you idiot."

"I'm very sorry. Then wait until you finish eating and then tell them to shut up."

"..."

Edie was speechless and pretended not to hear.

He looked at the Shijing newspaper in his hand. The news on it was very interesting.

In order to deal with the growing pirate power, the World Government announced the establishment of a new department at this year's World Conference... The King's Shichibukai!

All 50 kings present at the meeting agreed with the proposal.

Seven powerful pirates will be invited to become employees of the new department, and these recruited pirates will be given a right - legal plunder qualifications.

To put it simply, find seven pirates to clean up the pirates for the World Government.

Everything grabbed can legally belong to the Shichibukai.

And the newspapers reported that the first Shichibukai had been born.

"Krokdal...so he was the first?"

Edie looked at the introduction about Crocodile in the newspaper.

The first king of the Shichibukai, Sand Crocodile, is a natural-type person with the Sand Fruit ability.

The bounty when accepting the government's invitation to become a Shichibukai is...

81,000,000 Baileys!

"Natural system, you can just look for it..."

Edie was thinking.

Suddenly, the butterfly door of the tavern was opened, and a young man holding a cigar walked in with an arrogant attitude.

The man was carrying a cloth bag on his left hand. The bottom of the bag was red and dripping with blood.

A strong smell of blood filled the air, and many pirates in the tavern covered their mouths.

"What? Blood!"

"It stinks! The smell of rot, corpses??"

"Who are you……!"

There were exclamations in the tavern.

Edie looked up at the door and then at the photo in the newspaper.

The same person.

Crocodile ignored the gazes of others and walked straight to the bar and put down the big cloth bag dripping with blood.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Bring out the best wine."

"You... you are the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the news! Crocodile!" The tavern owner turned pale with fear.

He glanced at the cloth bag beside him and swallowed his saliva.

"Could it be that there is..."

"Hehehe... just a few dozen pirates' heads. I need money recently."

Crocodile laughed slowly and said, "Don't you understand? Wine."

"Yes... yes!"

The boss immediately turned around to get the wine.

At this time, several pirates on a table stood up together.

The bald man in the lead grinned and showed a cruel expression.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea... are just dogs raised by the government!"

As soon as the voice fell, he pulled out the machete at his waist and killed Crocodile with one knife.

"Hahaha, if we kill you, our 'Blade Pirates' will... will... will..."

The rampant voice did not last long, and the bald man who took action trembled all over.

He looked at the scene in front of him with horror.

Crocodile was split in half by his sword, and his upper body was split open. There was no blood at the cut site, but a lot of sand was flowing.

They attracted each other and gradually gathered together.

"I heard that there are many pirates gathered in the Magic Valley Town. It's really lucky."

Crocodile raised his palm, and a stream of quicksand appeared in the palm: "On the contrary, you are very unlucky."

Boom!

Behind him, a small sandstorm suddenly rolled up.

Including the bald man, the pirates in the tavern were rolled up one after another, screaming one by one.

The sand was like a sharp knife, constantly cutting their skin.

In a blink of an eye, the blood dyed the yellow sand red.

With a click, the sound of a wine bottle falling to the ground.

The tavern owner retreated in fear and knocked down the wine cabinet behind him.

"Don't, don't kill me...!"

"... I told you to take the best wine, who told you to throw it on the ground?"

Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyeballs moved slightly, and glanced at the corner on one side of the bar.

At a table next to the corner, a young man in a white coat was reading a newspaper quietly.

A tall man wearing a ghost mask raised his arm and easily blocked the wind and sand.

It was as if that place was a restricted area.

"Suppress him, Chen Long."

Edie put down the newspaper and ordered casually.

Crocodile's pupils shrank suddenly.

In his field of vision, the man with a ghost mask disappeared from the spot.

Then, his field of vision changed, as if the world began to fall.

No, it was his head that was...!

There was no time to react.

Chen Long held Crocodile from behind and smashed his head hard against the bar.
