I can only achieve nothing and become the Pirate King.

Chapter 628 Oil!

The country of peace.

Several ships were docked around Wano Country, which had been turned into a turret. A thousand fishmen jumped into the sea like dumplings, carrying mechanical devices with obvious propulsion power to the foundation of Wano Country on the seabed.

"First, we have to pry open the foundation."

Vegapunk stood at the bow and said to Renetia, "This device can first pry the foundation and then carry the entire foundation forward. Of course, we also have to consider that Wano Country itself is a weapon, not a pure seabed foundation."

Renetia squatted down and used her small hammer to knock on the machine that looked like a drill but had a jet propulsion device. She nodded thoughtfully:
"It's similar to my design idea. Does prying the foundation mean digging up the seabed to get energy and then propel it? What is that black mass?"

With a powerful person like Vegapunk around, even if Renidia didn't want to learn, Sage would force her to learn, not to mention that she was already very interested in these things.

After all, the dream is to build a ship that can sail smoothly and freely in any dangerous environment. The technology learned can be positively fed back to the Death Star.

After all, these days, building ships on the sea with just good materials is no longer enough. That old traditional era has quietly passed, and what is popular now is to use black technology to build ships.

After all, pure materials have an upper limit, but science can make materials unlimited.

Vegapunk is also happy to accept a young, energetic disciple with a smart brain, especially since this disciple is only twelve years old and his fruit ability makes him very suitable for scientific research.

Motivation.
This is the most advanced application.

"We use mother steel, which is recycled. As a rare metal that is naturally produced only once every three hundred years, it is a very good material. However, it has its drawbacks, do you know?" Vegapunk said.

Renetia was stunned. "What are the drawbacks? I've been studying it for quite a while, and I haven't found any abnormalities?"

"Everything has its limits, and everything has its price. Even the product of a wish like a devil fruit, isn't the price the rejection of Mother Nature?"

Vegapunk smiled and said, "The properties of the mother steel are splitting and regeneration, and infinite capacity conversion. It can be considered a 'divine artifact'. But its price is 'lifespan'. It is not a treasure that can be passed down. No matter how much it is split or how much it can contain, its lifespan is only 200 years."

"After two hundred years, the mother steel will wither and merge into nature. Then, after another hundred years of accumulation, it will be 'resurrected' somewhere. Because it needs to contain huge amounts of energy, it usually appears in places with high energy, such as lava fields. The energy contained in the flowing magma itself is enormous."

"Marshal Akainu's Lava Fruit is known as the best offensive force, not because of its temperature, but because it represents the huge impact and explosive power of a volcanic eruption. With this condition, Akainu is known as the best offensive force."

"As for that black mass, its essence is 'fat water', but I call it 'petroleum'. It is a substance dug out by the sea beast machine when exploring the seabed. Because it is dug out from the rock, but in fact, after research, it was found that it is a substance formed by the remains of various organic matter that were buried deep underground and gradually solidified under high pressure and oxygen-deficient environment."

"Simply put, it was formed by corpses."

Vegapunk's eyes sparkled. "This is a recent research discovery. I was just busy with the Mother Fire at the time, so I put this project on hold. I started the new project after I came here. Unlike the Mother Fire, I have to admit that the application of the Mother Fire cannot be completed in a short period of time, but oil can."

He pointed at the things inside the machine and said, "The refined oil can be used as fuel with the simplest burning process. It can also be used to protect equipment from friction. It can even be made into road materials and waterproof materials that are different from stone slabs."

"It can be used in synthetic materials, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals and even cosmetics. It is the most standard 'panacea' and the best energy source!"

"Cola can be used as an energy source. Although it is amazing, it is still a low-level energy source. It may be enough to deal with ordinary ships, but to go to the next level, we must have high-quality energy."

He opened his arms excitedly, "Oil is a high-quality energy source! It is definitely the future of the ocean! Renidia, you should not fall behind in the application of mother steel. You must know more about it than I do, but I will suggest you a new way. And the application of oil, you should also learn about it, it definitely represents the future!"

"Panacea? Such a convenient energy source, doesn't it have any limits?" asked Renetia.

If the mother steel, which is a universal material, has problems, then oil, which is a panacea, should be flawless?

"The stock is non-renewable, or in other words, it takes a very long time to regenerate, more than a million years. But the good news is that the ocean is very vast, and there is definitely a large amount of energy on the seabed. At least in the future that I can foresee, there is definitely a lot of energy that will never be exhausted!"

Vegapunk said: "When I look forward to the future, the mother fire will be fully utilized! Our future is definitely worth looking forward to!"

Renetia blinked her eyes. Even though she understood the old man's expectations very well, the gleam in his eyes was still so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes at that moment.

"This issue."

She thought for a moment and said, "Does Sager know?"

"Forehead"

Vegapunk scratched his head, "I haven't had time to say it yet."

……

royal palace.

In the banquet hall, sunlight poured in through the glass windows, and the golden lanterns in the hall swayed. As the shamisen of Wano Country vibrated the air, the tail fins of two mermaid singers from the Kingdom of Ryugu tapped the stage, and the rainbow light reflected by their scales swept across the surrounding dance troupe and orchestra. The scales from their throats rose lightly like bubbles, and exploded into stardust the moment they touched the sky.

Karina stood in front of the two mermaid singers, and as the main singer, she sang along with the sound of various musical instruments.

Several dancers appeared to the beat of the drums, and the golden bells on their ankles rang like a rain of bells. A dancer from the Dwarf tribe suddenly turned around and jumped to the front, tapping her toes on the musician's raised bow, then jumped to the keys, dancing one by one.

Sage at the top was swaying his head to the music and the dancers, and from time to time was being fed by the maids who were serving him. They were wearing various clothes, but none of them were properly dressed, revealing large areas of white skin and surging breasts.

"Sag."

However, this charming and joyful atmosphere slowed down for a moment when a person walked in the rear aisle. Everyone stared at the girl with big wavy blonde hair in awe and lowered their heads to show respect.

"I say, Lily, everything is handed over to you, and you handle it very well. Some things can be handled by yourself. I have been robbing for several years, can't I enjoy myself a little? Is there anything important that is worth telling me at the party?"

Sag was still enjoying himself, but when he heard Lily's voice, he didn't even look up, but just helplessly took the wine glass handed to him by the maid next to him.

"Do you know that you have been exerting too much pressure recently? Kill fewer people, or this murderous aura will materialize. I have told you the way, but you must hide it properly. This is also a kind of practice. Look, they are all afraid of you when you arrive."

Lily's practice has been going on. In addition to training her all-destroying 'Breath of All Things' and the combination of Tyrant Entanglement, Sager inexplicably got a new way from the Golden Mist and let Lily try it.

Although the fog only appeared for a while and then nothing happened, Sag somehow knew all this and asked Lily to try it, and the effect was really good.

Nurture murderous aura and materialize it.

Murderous intent is also a kind of domineering aura, but there are some differences in its application. The domineering aura of ordinary people is usually the momentum of will or the fighting spirit. There are very few people who use murderous intent as domineering aura.

The main reason is that there are not so many people killing, and the sea is not full of lambs to be slaughtered. They have strong vitality. Most people can defeat others, but it is still not enough to kill people.

Moreover, simply killing the weak cannot accumulate enough murderous aura to be regarded as domineering. But Lily is different. She never kills. She kills those who she thinks are worthy of being killed. No matter how strong those people are, from a human perspective, they can be called "strong".

Lily herself has killed many people and has a murderous aura. After Sag gave her advice, she turned the murderous aura into domineering aura, but it also led to the fact that she is now filled with murderous aura whenever she appears.

Ordinary guys can't feel this thing very well, but the biological instinct will make them feel fear and chill.

So when the people arrived, the atmosphere immediately became cold.

"Still in control."

Lily said, took the bottle of wine from a maid, turned to the dancers who had stopped, and said, "Keep playing the music, keep dancing, no need to stop."

During the brief pause of the people in the hall, the music started again.

Lily poured a glass of wine for Sage and said, "Renetia called and said that Vegapunk had discovered a new substance that could serve as a substitute for the energy source before the Mother Fire was fully utilized. It is a superior energy source and is very useful. I should come and report to you about this raw material."

"Energy? Materials?"

Sage raised the glass to his mouth and said with a smile: "It can completely replace the application of the mother fire. You are not going to say that you have discovered oil, are you?"

"how do you know?"

"puff!"

As soon as Sager's wine entered his mouth, it sprayed out immediately, mixing with the tablecloth and splashing on the plates of food in front.

"Lord Sarge."

Several maids nearby wanted to come over and wipe it, but seeing Lady Lily there, they did not dare to move.

"Go, go, go! Stop right there! Get out!"

Sager waved his hand and asked everyone in the hall to leave. He calmed down and drank the wine in big gulps. After it went down his throat, he looked at Lily anxiously:
"Is it really oil? What color is it? Has it been refined?"

"Dark brown. As for refining, it is said that there are different colors, even transparent ones. Vegapunk said that the colors are different for different uses. Do you understand?" Lily asked doubtfully.

More than just understanding!
It's so familiar!

In my hometown, how much sin can be committed because of this thing!

"No way! Where did the oil come from in the sea? It has been so many years, it should have been discovered long ago."

Sager asked curiously, "Where did you get it?"

"Under the sea," Lily said.

"Oh, that makes sense." Sager nodded.

After all, the world today has been flooded, and the places where people live now, to put it bluntly, are all on the top of mountains 200 meters high.

Even so, it is big enough that it would take a lifetime to explore it.

In addition, people in the past probably would not dig deep underground. After all, the resources in the ocean are too abundant and there is no shortage of anything. The abundant resources also determine the future of the ocean itself.

The great voyages of discovery. That's something only poor people who can't make a living can do.

As for the flooded areas today, even if the fishmen dive into the seabed, they cannot think about what is beneath the surface of the seabed, so naturally it is impossible to discover oil.

"Great stuff! Let Vegapunk preserve the technology and try to teach it to his subordinates. Renetia must master the application of this energy! With this thing, people's livelihood and the war mode can be brought to a whole new level!"

"Sag, what is it used for?" Lily asked curiously.

“It’s very useful!”

Sage said excitedly: "First of all, fertilizers, volcanic ash, bird droppings and the like will eventually run out, but if the oil reserves are high, there is no need to worry about fertilizers at all."

"We use rubber for the wheels of machines, don't we? With this thing, we can produce synthetic rubber. We don't have to worry about resources at all. Just get to work. The car we found in the golden ship doesn't need to be driven by biological means. I don't like that thing, but with oil, we can replace this energy source. We can produce a large amount of this thing and sell it to places with large areas."

"Building and home furnishing accessories, pharmaceutical and sanitary raw materials, fuel and chemical industry... all need this stuff! I believe Vegapunk can figure out the relevant technology. Tell him to put other research topics aside and focus on researching the application of petroleum, except for the mother fire!"

Sarge stood up, stretched out one hand and clenched it tightly, "With this thing, there is no need to worry about the Great Pirate Era or the Four Emperors Era. From now on, it will be my era! If this thing is used well, mankind will be divided into two! One is human, and the other is..."

Either kill him, stop the use of oil, and let the sea return to its current state, or let Sarge take the oil and lead the sea into a new era.

".It's a savage!"

Either become a savage, or be completely under Sag's control!
“Pop, pop, pop!”

The Den Den Mushi was aroused at this moment, and a servant approached with the Den Den Mushi in his hands, bent down and lifted it up.

Lily took the phone, and soon the Den Den Mushi began to speak.

"Sage. I'm Vochuli."

"Oh? The Five Elders? What are you going to do again?"

"On behalf of the World Government, I formally invite you to enter Marijoa for negotiations. We are waiting for you here."

After saying that, the phone was immediately hung up.

"Good things keep coming!"

Sager laughed loudly: "Everything is ready for me. If I don't expand outward, I will really let myself down! Lily, prepare the boat, we will set foot in Marijoa again!"
