One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 239 Cut off the beard
"Li Yuan, I didn't expect it to be you. Did you also find the explosive rock?"

Walder asked with a grim look on his face.

God knows how much time, manpower and resources he has spent searching for the explosive rock. Now that he has finally found it, he did not expect that someone would just show up and rob him of his things. If he knew that he could not beat the other person, he would definitely kill the other person!

"Of course I found it, but there are two bases storing explosive rocks here. I have occupied one. Whoever sees it gets a share. The remaining base storing explosive rocks is yours!"

"I don't want all the explosive rocks to explode here because of our fight. You should know the characteristics of explosive rocks. Don't leak them when transporting them, otherwise the island will be sunk!"

Li Yuan said calmly.

He didn't want to fight Wald. Wald's Momo Fruit had extremely strong explosive power. Even if he could defeat Wald, it would cause a huge noise, and if he was not careful, the exploding rock would explode, which would not be worth the loss.

It would be better to give some to Wald. After all, it was thanks to Wald that Li Yuan knew there were explosive rocks here.

"it is good!"

Although Wald was very unhappy, his reason forced him to suppress his anger and agree. If the two of them fought now, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

When it comes to interests, face, anger and everything else should take a back seat. This is what a smart pirate should do.

At least Walder now is not as crazy and stupid as in the original book.

After saying that, Wald immediately rushed to another storage base. He was determined to get the explosive rock!

"Captain, we've finished moving!"

Ten minutes later, Nepal came out with everyone.

"After the move, pack the space scroll for me first, and then continue to put all the information, equipment, and instruments in the base into the space scroll and take them away!"

Li Yuan said.

In this base, it is not just the explosive rock that is valuable. In the long run, the value of the data and equipment used to mine the explosive rock will be more valuable than the current explosive rock.

As long as they have these materials and equipment, their Wuji Pirates will be able to mine explosive rocks continuously like the navy.

"Yes, Captain!"

After hearing what Li Yuan said, the secret guards immediately handed the space scroll containing the explosive rock to Li Yuan, and then continued to move other things into the base.

"What? Colbert Island lost contact?"

Just as Li Yuan and Wald were moving things on Colbert Island, Steel Bone Sora from the Navy Headquarters roared in the office.

Colbert Island contacts the Navy Headquarters every half an hour. Now that they have lost contact, it means that something has happened to Colbert Island and not even a signal can be transmitted back. The only ones who can do this are the big pirate groups in the New World.

"Immediately ask Sengoku to go to Colbert Island and check what's going on!"

Kong Gang roared. Their navy had invested a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources on Colbert Island. Now, just thinking about it, Kong Gang felt a sharp pain in his heart. That was the navy's continuous investment for many years, and now...
The secret guards acted quickly and cleared out all the valuables in just half an hour.

"let's go!"

After moving all the things, Li Yuan immediately led his people away.

As for Wald's Storage Room No. 2, Li Yuan didn't care at all, because all the information, equipment and instruments of the explosive rock were concentrated here at Base No. 1, and Base No. 2 was just a backup storage room.

Wald and his men were not slow either, because Wald only cared about the explosive rocks. They quickly moved all the explosive rocks onto the boat and left Colbert Island at about the same time as Li Yuan.

"Hahahaha, I finally found the explosive rock. I'm not afraid of anyone anymore!"

After Wald got the explosive rock and left on the boat, he roared excitedly at the bow.

Although half of the explosive rocks were taken away by Li Yuan, he felt better to have so many explosive rocks.

"Brother, I have already got the explosive rock, but I..."

Wald excitedly called his brother to share his joy, and then told him everything that had happened.

"Brother, after you get the explosive rocks, hide them in batches. You only need to keep a part of them!"

"Then we'll go hide in the doldrums and make some plans while we can avoid the navy's retaliation."

"We won't be involved in Li Yuan's affairs, but we can disclose the news to the navy. We can't just let the navy catch us and retaliate against us. The Wuji Pirates also have a part to play. Let them help us bear some of the navy's retaliation."

Binjack said calmly that he was like World's brain, and half of the credit for a fool like World being able to develop the pirate group to this point was due to Binjack.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother!"

Although Wald felt a little uncomfortable hiding from the navy, he was not stupid and knew that the decision his brother made was the best one at the moment.

"They're all gone, damn Wald!!" When Zhan Guo arrived at Colbert Island, he found that all the navy here were dead, and all the explosive rocks, even equipment, instruments, and data on Colbert Island were gone.

Zhan Guo was so angry that he almost wanted to sink the island with a few shock waves!
"marshal."

Sengoku had no choice but to pick up the Den Den Mushi and report the matter to Kyōko Sora.

"What!!!!"

Even though Ganggu Kong had already guessed the result, when he really knew the outcome of the matter, he was still so angry that he almost vomited blood.

The seven years of investment by their navy is all gone, gone, all gone!!!

"Sengoku, you make the plan. No matter what, the World Pirates must pay the price. It would be best if we can take back everything that was lost on Colbert Island from the World Pirates!"

Cyborg Sora said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Marshal!"

Zhan Guo agreed reluctantly. In today's new world, their navy could not intervene at all. If they wanted to deal with Wald, they could only wait until he passed through the Calm Belt and went plundering around the world. Otherwise, it would be nonsense.

If we want to take back everything on Colbert Island from Wald, we will need the power of the intelligence department.

Many of the islands in the calm belt near the Wuji Sea have been occupied by the Wuji Pirates, and many of these islands are empty.

So after Li Yuan got the explosive rocks, he divided them into three batches and stored them on three islands respectively, to prevent the explosive rocks from suddenly exploding and detonating all of them.

Then he asked Yadina to send people to these three islands to build bases, specifically for the explosive rocks.

"Yumaz, take a look at these data and see how to mine explosive rock."

Li Yuan took the information about the explosive rocks to the laboratory of scientist Yumaz.

"Captain, this explosive rock is hidden at least tens or even hundreds of meters below the seabed, and the environment in which it grows naturally is very harsh. It is not found everywhere. We need..."

When Yumaz saw Li Yuan, he immediately picked up the information and read it for more than an hour.

"We have already retrieved the necessary equipment. Now we just need to find where there are explosive rocks in the sea. This is a sample of explosive rock. Can you make a device to detect explosive rocks? Then we can send the fishman fleet to the sea to detect them."

Li Yuan interrupted Yumaz directly. He didn't understand those professional terms, so he handed Yumaz an explosive rock jar.

"Um, Captain, that's no problem. The data says which environments are likely to have explosive rocks."

Yumaz said, and then carefully took the explosive rock. He had just read the information about this thing. Once it exploded, his entire laboratory would be blown up.

"That's fine. When you're done, go find Gerard and ask him to send the fishman fleet to carry out this mission. Also, check out the equipment for mining explosive rocks to see if there are any problems. Then, train some people to specialize in mining explosive rocks."

Li Yuan said.

"That's all fine. By the way, Captain, have you ever thought about how to use these explosive rocks?"

Yumaz asked, looking at the exploding rock in his hand.

"Do you have any idea?"

Li Yuan asked.

"Captain, now the explosive rock can only be used like dynamite, but if we can put the explosive rock into our shells, wouldn't it be better?"

Yumaz said excitedly.

"Well, your idea is good. I'll leave it to you to implement it in the future. Also, have you ever thought about timed detonation or remote control detonation?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan transmitted some modern concepts to Yumaz.

"Captain, you are such a genius. You can come up with such an idea. Once we can realize it, the power of our weapons will be increased several times!"

Yumaz was very impressed to hear his captain's brilliant idea.

"Then you should work hard. These will all depend on you in the future."

Li Yuan patted Yumaz's shoulder and said.

There are quite a few scientists in the Wuji Pirates now. Some of them are trained by themselves, and some are recruited from all over the world.

After years of unsparing investment by the Infinity Pirates in scientific research, Yumaz has finally become the strongest among many scientists and the chief scientist of the Infinity Pirates.
