Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 60 Mantises

"Katakuri, you just said you found the treasure! Where is it?!"

After walking a distance, BIG MOM couldn't wait to ask Katakuri.

It turned out that on the way here she had secretly learned that someone had discovered the treasure.

However, before the lucky person who found the clue to the treasure had time to be happy, he was turned into a candy statue by Perospero, the eldest son of BIG MOM who arrived later.

After repeatedly confirming that they had not been discovered by others, Perospero led a group of confidants and quietly came to the door of the treasure house.

However, after realizing that the noise of breaking the door might alert other pirates, he chose to contact Katakuri first.

As for why not contact BIG MOM directly to claim credit?
That, of course, is the wisdom gained from being the mother's eldest son through a long period of living together.

As the eldest son, Perospero knows his mother's character very well. If he reports truthfully, Big Mom will definitely ask him to bring back the treasure as much as possible immediately.

And here lies the trouble!

Perospero believed that no matter how much he brought back, Big Mom would think it was not enough. This was due to the greedy nature of pirates.

Unless he could pack up all the treasures and take them away - which was almost impossible.

If they want to transport the treasure onto the ship without being discovered under the noses of so many pirates, they must be invisible, along with the treasure.

Otherwise, the moment the treasure is exposed to the sun, they will face attacks from other pirate groups, and the identity of BIG MOM's eldest son will not have any deterrent effect here.

The only way is to contact Katakuri first, let him and his mother explain the pros and cons, make a suitable plan, and then take action yourself.

Poor Perospero, due to Big Mom's capricious and willful character, he had to live like a prince competing for the throne among nine sons at an age when other pirates were still following their desires and happily killing and looting.

You have to look ahead and behind for everything, and every step is like walking on thin ice.

Katakuri looked around and didn't see anyone else except the core members of the Big Mom Pirates, so he leaned over to Big Mom's ear and whispered the location of the treasure.

"Mom, we can't transport all the treasures away under the noses of other forces. Brother Peros probably won't be able to hide them for much longer."

"Hmm... Let's go over there and see if 'that thing' is there. As for the other things they want to divide up, then that's it."

……

"Mom, you're here."

Perospero, who had been worried all the time, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw BIG MOM finally arrive.

My mission is finally completed.

"Mmm~Mmm~ As expected of my favorite son, Perospero, you did a great job!"

In a happy mood, Big Mom gave the title of "Mobile Favorite Child" to Perospero.

"Thank you, Mom. The treasure should be behind this door. Perolin~"

Perospero, sticking out his tongue, pointed behind him. A corner of a huge metal door appeared from under the cracked ground. The faint cold light showed the extraordinary material of its material.

It is nearly twenty meters deep from the ground. From the fracture, you can see layer upon layer of bricks and stones, with thick steel columns interspersed between each layer of bricks and stones.

If the explosive rock wasn't so powerful, they probably wouldn't have found this place even if they dug thirty feet into the ground.

"Mama~Mama~ That's definitely John's style."

Seeing such a tightly guarded basement, BIG MOM couldn't help but get excited.

Without hesitation, she jumped down from the crack, stepped hard on the upward-opening door with both feet, and then punched it down fiercely.

Whoosh—bang!!!

A loud bang caused the pirates around the crack to fall to the ground.

"Ok?"

Big Mom frowned as she looked at her fist that had sunk into the metal door. She could feel that her fist had not penetrated the door.

As someone who was able to destroy a giant village and easily defeat giant heroes by relying on brute force at a young age, Charlotte Linlin is still very confident in her physique.

Now that she has grown up, her strength has reached an unimaginable level. Ordinary steel is no different from plasticine in her hands.

But now there is no way to directly break down a door.

It seems that the material and thickness of the door are beyond everyone's imagination.

"Well~ John is really willing to spend a lot of money."

Instead of continuing to use her fists, Big Mom took off her captain's hat, and Napoleon transformed into a giant blade in her hand.

"The Spear of Elbaf—Weiguo!"

With a swing of the knife, a terrifying circular impact directly hit the heavy metal door. The spreading power blew away the surrounding strata, and the entrance to the entire basement was completely exposed to the sunlight.

When the light faded, it was seen that a part of the door seemed to have been severely gouged out, and a large hole with a diameter of several meters appeared in the center.

But people still couldn't see the scene behind the door through the pit, which made people wonder if this so-called basement was just a whole piece of metal with a door pattern carved on the upward side to trick people.

Just when BIG MOM was about to swing the second knife, someone arrived.

"Hahahaha! You're lucky, Lingling. You found it so quickly?"

Shiqi, who was flying in the sky, rushed over as soon as he heard the sound. He was a little surprised to see the treasure house that had not been opened yet, but then he burst into laughter.

"Tsk!"

Big Mom put down Napoleon in her hand with some dissatisfaction. Although she knew that she couldn't keep the treasure alone, she still felt a little unhappy when it came to dividing the treasure.

"Hey! Don't forget that I want to be the first one to take it!"

"Okay, okay, I get it, no need to emphasize it." Shiqi didn't seem to care much.

"Come on, but don't damage the treasure inside."

Seeing Shiqi's cooperative attitude, Big Mom took a few steps back to make room.

Most of her moves are in the style of the giants, with large and wide swings. When it comes to precise control of strength, only a great swordsman like Shi Ji can do it.

"Okay, move back a little further."

"Lion·Senkiriya!"

Several powerful slashes slashed into the dents Big Mom had made earlier, finally slicing the door completely open. Sunlight streamed into the dark basement, instantly reflecting a dazzling golden light.

"Mmmm~Mmmm~ Let me see Rocks' treasure first."

Big Mom couldn't wait to jump into the treasure room, and then Shiki flew in.

"Let's go in too."

When Katakuri and Perospero saw the two men enter, they looked at each other and led their men in.

"So many! So many gold coins!"

"Is this paving the floor with Bailey?!"

"Are these made of gold?"

"Look! This cup is filled with gems!"

"Hahahaha! I'm rich! I'm rich!"

"This is mine! Mine! Go to hell!"

……

Gold, gems, Bailey... everything here is madly stimulating the pirates' nerves and gnawing at their sanity.

The wealth piled up in the treasury was something they had never seen in their lives, oh, maybe they had dreamed of it.

The luster of gold is so beautiful, as if a beauty's hand is gently caressing their chest;
The gems sparkle like the unattainable stars in the sky;

Bailey? Those things that pirates always cherished were now scattered like weeds on the roadside, everywhere...

Those small pieces of paper that represented wealth seemed worthless at this moment and were trampled under the feet of the pirates.

But unlike the pirates who were cheering around them, Shiki and Big Mom, who had seen the scene inside the treasure house early on, did not show any joy on their faces.

Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe their expressions at this moment as gloomy.

Too little.

There is so little treasure here!

As former members of the Rocks Pirates, they knew exactly how much wealth that guy had plundered.

To describe him as rich enough to rival a country is a complete insult. His wealth is so much that it is more than enough to buy the entire New World.

But now, here, in this "treasure room", the treasures inside are far less than the wealth they both possess, as if they are just scraps left behind by others.

"That guy John, is he kidding me?"

Big Mom punched the wall next to her, causing another earthquake.

This punch also made the pirates who were obsessed with greed sober up a little. They put down the treasures in their hands and stood where they were, not daring to move.

"Wu la la la la~ Lingling, you found the treasure and didn't even tell me, do you want to keep it all to yourself?!"

The light in the basement suddenly dimmed. Everyone looked up and saw two tall figures blocking the sunlight - Kaido and Wang Zhi, who had arrived late, were standing at the door and looking down.

"Keep it all for yourself? Kaido, stop insulting me. Is it worth my while to spend so much effort on such a small piece of junk?"

"Ok?"

Kaido also jumped down upon hearing this and looked at the treasures scattered around.

Well, probably about the same as the current assets of the Beasts Pirates.

Compared with these old overlords, Baishou’s foundation is still far behind.

"It's too early to draw a conclusion now." Shi Ji quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Judging from John's personality, this place might hold some mysteries." After saying that, Shiqi flew over the crowd's heads and slashed again.

"Circle Chopping Wave!"

A circular sword energy cut through the surrounding walls, leaving a deep cut in the metal walls.

[Isn’t it four weeks…]
Seeing that there was nothing unusual behind the wall, Shiqi swung his sword downwards again.

when!
The sound of the sword energy slashing this time was completely different from before.

"Haha, I found it! Lion Chikiri Ya!"

Shiki, noticing something, slashed the ground frantically.

"Hey! Shiki, pay attention, you guy!"

Seeing the intensive slashing, the three Big Moms below retreated to the surrounding areas to avoid it, while many of the ordinary pirates were injured by the aftermath of the sword energy.

Shiqi turned a deaf ear to the screams below and continued to swing the famous sword in his hand.

Ding! Ding! Ding…

As the sound of metal clashing became more and more frequent, the ground beneath everyone's feet was torn apart bit by bit, and the situation under the metal floor became clearer and clearer.

"This is?!"

Finally, after the ground beneath their feet was chopped into pieces like dumpling filling, the things buried deep underneath were revealed to everyone.

"Tsk~ So it's this thing."

After seeing what was in front of him clearly, Kaido first snorted in boredom.

"I remember that Rocks seemed to have ordered the collection of this thing." Wang Zhi said, stroking his beard.

"Locks took this thing very seriously at the time, but it's of no use to me."

Shi Ji, who had lost all interest, put away his sword and decided not to dig anymore.

However, compared to the lack of interest of others, BIG MOM seemed to care quite a lot about the thing in front of her, and there was even a hint of excitement in her voice.

"I want this thing!"
