One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1012 Pluto Core (Happy New Year's Eve!)

“This is…”

"The core of Hades?"

Looking up at the huge thing in front of them, even the knowledgeable people couldn't help but sigh for a moment, because the thing in front of them was like the heart of a giant, and the intricate pipes were like blood vessels, leading to every part of the giant's body, providing a constant supply of power.

The heart of this giant, a mechanical furnace composed of cables, gear sets, mechanical valves and other things, Lily roughly estimated that it was twenty meters high. In the center of this mechanical furnace, in a glass window of unknown thickness, a dim-looking flame was burning in the water. This scene was contrary to common sense, and it made Quinn's eyes light up.

"This is it. This is the real mother fire. Those other things are just the outer wall of the heart and the blood vessels that transport nutrients. Only this cute little thing is the real heart."

The expression on Quinn's face at this moment was distorted. He looked extremely excited, but at the same time he wanted to make a gentle expression. Because the two expressions appeared on his face at the same time, his whole face was squeezed together. Coupled with Quinn's not-so-good-looking face shape, his current expression was enough to scare a child to tears.

"Hmm... I feel like something is wrong. Hey, Quinn, what's with this color? Shouldn't it be a bright flame? This flame doesn't look very powerful at all."

Kaido doesn't understand technology, but he understands fire. His wife's skill in playing with fire is first-rate, and there may be no second fire expert of this level in the whole world. So Kaido immediately felt that something was wrong with this thing. He couldn't say exactly what was wrong, but he just felt that something was wrong. The flame seemed to have no power. How to say it, it's like a lit bonfire, when it burns to the end, it seems to be still burning, still a flame, but there is no crackling sound, no power as if to burn everything around it, only the struggle of the last embers that don't want to go out is left.

"That's true. Although it's still burning, it's obviously just embers. But I can feel that its fuel has not been completely consumed. It still has the energy to continue burning."

Lily said.

"Yes, we miscalculated before. What supported Pluto for so many years was not a complete mother fire, but only the residual heat after the mother fire was extinguished. It's really surprising. I can't imagine how powerful the complete mother fire is. No wonder Vegapunk said that this thing has the ability to destroy the world."

After careful observation, Quinn came to a not-so-pleasant fact, that is, the mother fire had actually been extinguished, but the remaining residual heat had supported it for a full eight hundred years.

"But Aunt Lily just said that this thing can still be ignited, right? After all, it just went out, not burned out, so we can relight it, right?"

Xia Li scratched her head and said that she was not very clear about this kind of technological stuff, but she was good at divination or opening a cafe. Now her Fishman Cafe was one of the most profitable stores in the entire Fishman Island. She just didn't know if there would be any bastards coming to make trouble during her absence.

"Yes, that's what I wanted to say. The mother fire has only gone out, but has not completely burned out. This means that we can reignite it, and this also means that we can regain a mother fire at the fastest speed without having to start from scratch."

Quinn said excitedly.

"Yes, this will save a lot of time, Quinn. If you give it your all and ignore everything else, and we fully cooperate with you, how long do you think it will take to reignite it?"

Kaido asked after nodding.

"It's hard to say right now because I haven't done a thorough inspection and don't know its exact condition. I only know that it has burned out, but I don't know the exact situation yet. I don't know how much energy it has left, how to start it, and how much materials are needed. We only have this one chance, and I must not make any mistakes."

Quinn no longer had his previous optimism, and said with a serious face that the importance of the Mother Fire was self-evident. It took Vegapunk decades to finally figure it out, and behind him was the support of the entire world government. In this case, even if Quinn had Vegapunk's design drawings and stood on the giant's head, it would not be so easy to accomplish. Scientific experiments are often a matter of luck, and who knows whether Vegapunk's experiment can be replicated.

Therefore, with the mother fire ready to use, Quinn must not take it lightly and must rekindle it as quickly and safely as a force to counter the world government.

"Okay, Quinn, we allow you to mobilize all your forces, even us. I will also talk to other people, even the navy. Just tell them what you need. Go all out and ignite this thing as quickly as possible. At least let him use it once as a trump card against the World Government. Do you understand?"

Lily said with a serious look.

"I understand, but Sister Lily, if we want to recover as quickly as possible, we may have to take a risk." Quinn said with difficulty.

"You mean, let Eve get involved?"

Lily said, instantly understanding what Quinn meant.

"Well, yes. After all, she was the one who actually participated in the Vegapunk experiment and was the most familiar with the Mother Fire. I have only seen the design drawings. Many things cannot be understood by just looking at drawings, otherwise everyone would be a scientist."

Quinn said helplessly.

"Oh, then let her come. I don't believe that little girl dares to play any tricks. But, you have to be on guard against others. You are responsible for keeping a close eye on her. I don't believe that little girl can do anything to you at such a close distance. If you can really let her kick you over, then we can only say that our loss is not unfair. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Kaido laughed and patted Quinn's fat shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes! I understand! I will definitely discipline her until she is obedient! Hahahaha!"

Hearing Kaido's encouragement, Quinn immediately became energized and shouted with his hands on his hips.

"what--"

However, Quinn's words obviously made Charlie uncomfortable. Looking at Quinn's appearance, she couldn't help but step back.

"Hey, hey, hey! That's not what I meant! I meant that I absolutely will not let her ruin our plan!"

Quinn was stunned for a moment when he looked at Charlie's expression, and then he realized that what he said was somewhat ambiguous, so he hurriedly explained, but unfortunately, Charlie didn't want to listen at all, or maybe Charlie was deliberately thinking wrongly. He was now ready to go back and spread rumors everywhere.

"I'll treat you, okay? Don't talk nonsense, little aunt, I beg you not to talk nonsense."

Quinn had been hanging out with Yamato and the others for a long time. After all, he was someone who could get along well with children, so he understood Charlie's character. As soon as he saw Charlie's expression, he knew what she wanted to do and immediately raised his hand and shouted.

"Well... three meals, I want the best oysters!"

Charlie looked at Quinn, thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, okay, five meals is fine. Just don't go out and say anything before the deadline. Our reputation is not very good to begin with, please don't ruin it. I'm really afraid of you."

Quinn said with his head down, like a defeated rooster.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooo!"

Seeing Quinn's look, Kaido and Lily burst out laughing. Quinn hasn't changed at all in all these years. But it's good that he hasn't changed. Not forgetting one's original intention is a precious quality, isn't it?
