Do You Think We Marines Will Believe Your Nonsense?
“This thing…”
Kuro remembered. This is pure gold.
A legendary item, a priceless treasure, something that everyone in the world would want.
No one knows where it is.
But Kuro remembered.
This is on the belly of the anglerfish. Not only that, if I remember correctly, the huge lantern on its head has more pure gold.
“Who… who are you? Hai, Marine?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him.
A figure appeared in the ruins.
The person’s clothes were a little tattered and his stomach pushed up his clothes, making him look like a decadent middle-aged man.
“Someone else?”
Kuro turned his head and looked over, a little enlightened.
There are only two people in the belly of this anglerfish.
This person is one of them.
Mischina Athia, the scientist who made ‘pure gold’.
“How did you get in, no, this is… the sky?”
Athie raised her head and saw the blue sky. She looked a little dazed.
The warm sea breeze blew at the ends of his hair, bringing with it a hint of the fishy smell of the sea. It was not the smell in Lord Lantern’s stomach, but a smell that he had not smelled for a long time, a smell so old that he almost forgot it.
Ocean, sky …
“Is this… outside?” Athie said foolishly, “I came out of Lord Lantern’s stomach? I haven’t seen the sky for two hundred years…”
“No! No, this is not the time to sigh. Marine, Marine, please save my daughter. My daughter is missing!”
Asier reacted and begged for help from Kuro.
Kuro exhaled a mouthful of smoke. To be honest, if he hadn’t remembered something, he really wouldn’t have thought that this fat man was the scientist who created ‘pure gold’.
That thing is not tolerated in this world.
“Your daughter?”
Kuro pursed his lips. “Over there, on the beach of this island. Forget it, let me do it.”
Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki can clearly sense other life forms here.
“This place can’t be taken. Your appearance is troublesome enough.”
Kuro slapped the ground of the island. With a loud sound, the ground under Athie’s feet split, forming a platform that raised him up.
“This, this?” Athie was a little flustered and subconsciously squatted down, her hands on the ground.
“Hold on tight, don’t fall.”
Kuro narrowed his eyes and exerted strength in his palm.
“Yo yo yo yo!!!”
In the distance, the same rock platform flew over with a few figures.
It was a little girl with golden hair that reached her waist. She knelt on the ground and looked at the flying platform in panic. On the side, there were two dinosaur-like creatures of different colors, but they looked a little silly.
“That is… Olga!”
Athie’s eyes widened.
“Yo?!”
Olga also saw Asier at this time, and her mouth “O” came out. After looking at it carefully, she was stunned.
Although they looked different and although they had not seen each other for 200 years, Olga could easily tell that he was her father.
“You…” Olga said in disbelief.
“Olga, it’s your father!” Asier shouted.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the island below rose as a whole and broke down under the collision of countless islands, rocks, and weapons, turning into large rocks that rose into the sky with the objects.
“Done, destroy the corpse.” Kuro clapped his hands and reached out his hand again. The platform where Asier and Olga were on merged and went with him in the direction of Moe Island.
“Kuro! Kuro, are you done, uh… these two are?”
Leda saw Kuro flying over from afar and just as she shouted, she found two more people beside him.
The blonde girl, in particular, made Leda look twice.
The girl was about the same age as her current body, and the difference would not be more than two years, but she felt that something was wrong.
That aura feels the same as hers, or even… a little older.
“Don’t worry about it for now, call Crowe, the meeting is starting.”
Kuro had already taken off his cloak and wrapped it around his hand to prevent the light from coming out of it.
It was a big deal to show his face.
“Okay, I will go and shout.”
Leda saw that Kuro’s face was very serious and nodded. She didn’t care about the blonde girl and ran to call Kuro.
“Where is this?”
Olga looked at Moe Island and her eyes lit up, but she quickly became alert. “No, who are you? Why am I outside? And why is my father here?”
“Olga, actually we are all on the same island, but the environment of the island has prevented us from seeing each other… My beloved Olga, it is really good that you are still safe and sound after so many years.” Asier shed tears.
“Dad…” Olga pursed her lips and didn’t know what to say.
She did not know how long she had lived on the beach. Every day, she only had pets to accompany her. She could not see anyone and no one spoke. She had always thought that she was the only one in this world. Unexpectedly, with a tremor, she not only came outside, but she also found her father nearby.
This is nothing …
“Let’s catch up later. I have something to ask you. When things are done, you will be free to do whatever you want, but…”
Kuro looked at Athie and said in a deep voice, “Keep the matter of ‘pure gold’ in your stomach.”
“How do you know…” Athie’s eyes widened.
… .
Originally Uptown, Marine Base.
Although it was temporarily built by Kuro and will definitely be renovated and reinforced in the future, the style is similar.
With the arrival of Crowe, Kuro brought the two of them to the upper office of the base. He closed the door and the window, leaving no gap in the window.
“Mr. Kuro, what are you…”
Crowe adjusted his glasses. “And these two, how should I address you?”
“You’re welcome. My name is Mischina Athia. This is my daughter, Mischina Olga.”
Athie said, “I was rescued from the belly of the anglerfish by this Marine. Of course, so was my daughter.”
“In the stomach…”
Crowe was stunned for a moment. There are still living people in the belly of Sea Kings? This probability is a big prize.
“Then you are really lucky. You were swallowed not long ago, right?”
“It’s not too long, maybe two hundred years.”
“Oh, 200… Huh?”
Crowe froze and looked at Asier. “Sorry, Mr. Mischina, did you just say two hundred?”
“Two hundred years, I remember every year. Sea Round Calendar Year 1320 was swallowed, and now it’s Sea Round Calendar Year 1520. I don’t know what the world has changed, but this island feels no different from other islands I went to before.”
Crowe said nothing.
Leda was speechless.
“Two hundred years?!”
Leda exclaimed, “You have lived for two hundred years?! Are you kidding me?”
“Mr. Mischina.”
Crowe said seriously, “We are Marines. Marines will not believe such an obvious lie. Do you think we Marines will believe your nonsense?”
“No, two hundred years.”
At this moment, Kuro, who was already sitting on the desk, slowly spoke. He opened the thing wrapped in the cloak. Immediately, a golden sun-like light shone in the office.
“Because of this, they can live that long.”
