Chapter 174 So What Is the Price of the Golden Lion?

Three years have passed since the Battle of Edwall. In addition to causing Golden Lion to lose most of his fleet, the most direct impact of that naval battle was the rudder that was inserted into Golden Lion's head.

Because it was inserted too deep, pulling it out might endanger his life, and finally the rudder remained on Shiki's head like an ornament.

At first, Golden Lion didn't take it seriously. It was just a thing on his head, so he still did what he had to do.

And he believed that his medical team was equally capable. Among the many pirates in the same period, Golden Lion became famous not only because of his strength and ability to fly, but also because of his large fleet.

With the ambition to rule the world, he did better than others in this regard. Whether it was scientific researchers, medical personnel, or meteorological personnel, Golden Lion had summoned them.

But as time went by, Golden Lion noticed something wrong. His current strength had declined compared to three years ago.

Although it was still very subtle, Golden Lion firmly believed that he would not be wrong.

He was still a top-level strong man after such a slight decline, and his position would not be shaken in the short term, but at this time, Golden Lion received the news that Roger was arrested.

He had done his best to block Roger in the Edwall Sea, but a tsunami caused him to lose his troops. Such Roger was captured by the navy, which was absolutely unacceptable to Golden Lion.

He wanted to snatch Roger out, even if he had to kill him, he had to do it himself.

Before that, he needed some small preparations to restore himself to a healthier state.

Breaking into the Navy Headquarters, this was his plan, and Golden Lion knew what it meant.

Crazy, dangerous, unreasonable, and even inconsistent with Golden Lion's previous action plan, but he still decided to do it.

Golden Lion was not a good person, but he was also a hegemon on the sea today.

Such pirates have their own persistence in their hearts. The opinions of the outside world are irrelevant, and the evaluations of others are not worth mentioning.

As long as they think it is right and reasonable to do so, they will do it.

They will be angry, unwilling, and forbearing, but they will not be cowardly or retreat.

When they lose this breath, they will not be able to continue to maintain their status as strong.

"Sidilier may be able to do it."

This was the conclusion of his medical team at the time, but Golden Lion did not take it to heart at that time. In the eyes of Golden Lion, his doctors were also top-notch. Even if Orlan was strong, he was not that strong.

Moreover, Orlan's most famous technology is still prosthetic replacement. Golden Lion has a rudder inserted in his head. Can he still go to Orlan to replace his head?

What's more, the medical team at the time made a judgment that the rudder would not have much impact.

The slight decline in strength is unexpected. If this problem can be treated, it would naturally be the best.

Because of this, Golden Lion came here after such a long time after the Battle of Edwall.

"It's a nice island. I hope it can solve my problem."

Looking at the magnificent buildings on the island, the golden lion quickened his pace and flew directly to the tallest building.

Even though he had never been here, he assumed that this was the royal city. After arriving, the golden lion waved his finger, and the unidentified object flying with him fell to the platform below.

Clang!

With a loud noise, a dozing orange cat suddenly woke up. It didn't know when a cup made of gold appeared in front of it, and a red gem was inlaid on it.

"Meow?!"

Before it could observe the unidentified object, several shadows covered the place, and countless treasures and bundles of Bailey fell from the sky.

"Meow!"

The orange cat ran to the side like a raging fire, looking at the piled-up treasures and the people stepping on them with a puzzled look on his face.

"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor king on this island!"

Golden Lion used a very special way to find Orlan, literally throwing money at him, but not long after he shouted this sentence, a strong man appeared in front of him.

"What do you want to do with Brother Orlan?"

"A very loyal subordinate. Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. A person who comes to see a doctor with money, of course, is here to see a doctor."

Looking at the bear in front of him, Golden Lion was a little surprised. This is the first half of the Grand Line, a paradise in the eyes of the New World pirates.

Golden Lion didn't think there would be any troublesome people here, so he didn't guard much. He didn't even notice how the bear appeared in front of him.

At the same time, in the circuit in the castle wall, Ginny was looking for something. Almost in a few blinks, she left the circuit through the laboratory socket.

"Brother Orlan, here comes a very troublesome guy. It feels much more difficult to deal with than Roger before."

Elementalization is the most basic ability of the natural system. Each natural fruit has a different use.

Whether or not one can fly, and how fast one can fly, all depend on the element itself.

The Thunder Fruit is undoubtedly the most convenient in areas where electricity is widely used.

Using wires, Ginny can appear anywhere on the island at a faster speed.

Although the lack of wires will not affect the high-speed flight of the ability users, for the ability users of the Thunder Fruit, this is a more convenient highway.

"Xiongzai is over there now. What should we do? If we need to move, I will notify Xiongzai."

Among the pirates of the same generation, Golden Lion, Roger, Whitebeard, and Redfield are the four strongest.

That is to say, there is no title of sea emperor these days, otherwise they should become the Four Emperors.

There is no doubt that Golden Lion is also the most dangerous among this group of people.

Roger's pirate group focuses more on adventure, Redfield is withdrawn and rarely communicates with others. Although the Whitebeard Pirates are notorious to the outside world, people in the territory also regard Whitebeard as a protector.

Among these people, Golden Lion is the most difficult one to deal with, both in terms of personality and the frequency of external battles.

"Don't worry. I can probably guess what he wants to do when he shows up here at this time. If I don't say anything weird next, then it's fine."

"That. Brother Oran, I think you're saying something weird right now."

As Oran's confidants, they know a lot of things Oran made, but there's only one thing that only Oran knows - the Z-type drive.

Even if it was an accident, they had to admit that Ike might really be a genius in this regard.

As long as this drive is still there, there will always be a chance to reopen, even if the drive is a disposable item due to material and energy limitations, that's enough.

A chance to start over, for someone with ability, is enough to change the world.

"You're brave. My question is simple. Help me take this thing down. You can take as much treasure and Bailey as you want."

Seeing Oran dismiss everyone, even the cat was driven away from here, and came to him alone, the Golden Lion began to take Oran seriously.

In terms of seeking medical treatment, the Golden Lion is still very disciplined, using the simplest way, a lot of money.

He didn't believe that such a leader of the gray area with a big reputation in the underground world would give up this sky-high medical fee just because he was a pirate.

"My men told me that this rudder is inserted very deep, compressing the nerves and brain. In short, it is very troublesome and the risk of taking it out is very high.

I heard that you are a world-famous doctor, what do you think?"

"In this case, you can only know after examination."

"Then check it, but I don't have much time. If it doesn't work, don't waste your time with me."

If it can't be cured, the golden lion will not care. He also has his own temperament. There is no conflict of interest or contradiction with him, and he will not do anything inexplicable.

But if you delay his time for the sake of profit, the result will be different.

"You don't have to worry about this. I only make what I should make."

Oran did not take the golden lion to the hospital, but entered the underground laboratory, and then turned on some instruments to scan his head.

The improvement of the source plan universe is very important to Oran. The technology of the Tyrant Universe and the source plan universe can be said to have their own advantages.

If it is a war between giant beasts, there is no doubt that the destructive power of the Tyrant Universe is stronger. Those mechas are weapons to fight against alien civilizations with aerospace-level capabilities.

But the Source Project is better in some details, especially when it comes to biological transformation.

The medical equipment there is also top-notch.

In a moment, a scan of the Golden Lion's head appeared in front of Orlan.

"Interesting, is this what the ship looks like inside?"

Looking at the enlarged 3D avatar, the Golden Lion understood himself for the first time. This clear illustration is much clearer than the description in words.

"This is your brain. This is the extension of the rudder. There is some slight pressure. You should be able to feel it normally, right? This area is related to the body's actions."

"Is that so? Then there is some feeling. So what is your conclusion?"

"It can be treated, but it is troublesome. If you had come directly three years ago, it might have been easier. Now this thing is even integrated with your body tissue. You have to be very careful to separate it."

Ordinary doctors dare not start because they can't figure out what is going on inside, but Orlan's equipment can solve this problem.

Excellent medical skills and cutting-edge equipment have never been contradictory, and modern medicine is irreplaceable.

"I said, I don't have much time."

"I am sure I can take it off in one day, but you have to pay the medical expenses first."

Hearing this, the corners of the Golden Lion's mouth finally raised a smile.

He didn't believe Orlan dared to lie to him. Things like medical fees have never been a problem for the Golden Lion.

"It's already on your castle. If it's not enough, tell me the amount. I'll send someone to deliver it to you after I finish my work."

"Mr. Golden Lion, you are also a great pirate on the sea. Do you think money is still important at this point?"

"Then what do you want? My favor?"

"No, I want your "everything"."

After hearing the word "everything", Golden Lion was obviously stunned for a moment, and even touched his ears to make sure he heard it correctly.

"Hahahaha, I have seen many ambitious guys, but I have never seen an ambitious guy as crazy as you. How do you want to take everything I have?!"

Buzz——!

A terrifying breath suddenly filled the entire laboratory, and the experimental equipment on the table was scattered all over the floor. Orlan's robe fluttered wildly under the wind pressure.

The golden lion's golden hair fluttered behind him, like a roaring lion, but Orlan's expression did not change at all, just pushed his plain glasses.

"Hahahaha! Interesting guy, can you remain calm like this? I am beginning to be interested in you, Sidilier Orlan, right? Do you want to join me and do something big with me?"

This momentum comes from the golden lion's domineering color. There are not many people who can remain calm and fearless under the baptism of his domineering color, not to mention such a behind-the-scenes medical staff.

"Let's talk about that when you can come back here again. Come with me first. Everything I have is not the same as everything you have. Also, you have to pay for the equipment you broke."

After a moment, he looked puzzled at the discs attached to his body. These things were attached to his veins along his body, and even some discs were tied to his hair.

"What is this?"

"This is the "everything" I want. Please show me all your combat modes, including the ability of the fruit. In addition, I need your blood."

"Weird, what do you want these for?"

Golden Lion did not understand what these things meant to Orlan.

This is like telling a patient to run two laps, and I will solve your problem after running two laps.

"This has nothing to do with the patient. You do your best, and I will do my best to solve your rudder. It's equal exchange and fairness."

This is about the content of the Source Project. The Source Project has many transformation projects.

There are body modifications for humans, simple equipment, killing bodies made from various animal genes, and artificial security intelligence composed of pure mechanical bodies.

The latter two, Annihilation and Superbody, can be said to be the two most powerful individuals. As the designer of Annihilation, Orlan naturally has a certain participation in other projects. Now what Orlan has to do is a perfect combination.

Reproducing the memories of ancient warriors and recreating ancient warriors has always been one of the ways to implement the Source Plan.

That's why Orlan needs all the combat modes of the Golden Lion as his reference data.

Today, when Leliana has not grown up, such a combat power is enough to fill the gap in high-end combat power.

"Equivalent exchange. Interesting, I agree with your consultation fee, but I can't use it here."
