No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

What if it succeeds?

Luo Hou ignored Orleansmo's words and simply reached out and grabbed the pure gold in front of him, which felt as light as cotton to him.

The moment the body comes into contact with this flowing metal.

Luo Hou's keen physical reflexes immediately detected the depletion of energy within his body, granting him a unique limitation!

According to basic biology, every cell in the human body is constantly dividing throughout its life.

Once this division stops, the cells will die and the body will fall into a state of stagnation.

The purpose of this pure gold in front of us.

It is obvious that it directly uses some form of energy to put the division of body cells into a state between stopping and continuing.

In other words, an ordinary person could acquire pure gold.

Then, he will possess the ability to be immortal in a meaningful sense!

And since his cells no longer divide, he no longer needs to replenish his energy by eating large amounts of food every day.

"What a nice little gadget!"

"If something like this were to circulate in a fantasy world, even powerful beings at the Ascension Realm would probably fight tooth and nail to seize it."

Luo Hou was somewhat amazed by the talent of the middle-aged man in front of him who was able to develop such an extraordinary item as pure gold!

This guy's research skills are definitely no less than those of Vegapunk, the world's most powerful brain from later generations.

After all, he achieved this without ever having eaten any Devil Fruits, relying solely on his ordinary human body!

Vegapunk's high level of scientific expertise is largely due to the advantage of the Paramecia-type Brain-Brain Fruit.

"From today onwards, you are the chief scientist of my team!"

A blazing flame was casually ignited, baking pure gold into a gold thumb ring, which was then worn.

Luo Hou spoke directly to Orleans Mo in an unyielding tone.

It would be best to use such a highly skilled scientist for one's own benefit.

"My lord... do you mean we can really get out?"

Orleans looked at Rahu in front of him with some shock, as if he was not joking.

He then rushed back to his laboratory without thinking twice and packed up all the blueprints he had saved from years of research.

Uh-huh! ! ! ! !

A crisp sword rang out!

Under the domineering binding and hardening!

A sharp, blue flame blade suddenly appeared!

The already humid and hot internal environment of the fish becomes even more unbearable due to the intense heat.

Rahu held the knife in one hand and lightly slashed down at the spot directly in front of him!

The aura of ultimate swordsmanship!

In an instant, a powerful gust of wind erupted, intertwining to form a winding, spiraling dragon-shaped sword aura that slashed out from the spot!

puff puff!

The sound of flesh being torn apart rang out continuously!

Lord Lantern, a terrifying creature of immense power in Orleans' eyes!

Right in front of him, it was chopped into two bloody pieces of tender fish sashimi!

......

It can be considered a large sea king.

Lantern Master

Glowing pure gold

Chapter 157 Who is the Pirate?

Lord Lantern is a gigantic creature!

These are super-giant lanternfish, sea kings, with lengths reaching 30,000 to 40,000 meters, or even over 70,000 meters!

The monster, which was so huge and covered with ruby-red scales all over its body, was cut in two in less than a second in Luo Hou's hands!

This combat power, which has surpassed that of humans, is in the eyes of an ordinary person like Orleansmo.

They were as terrifying as gods!

In his mind, the most powerful person in the world was none other than the admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

But even the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters more than 200 years ago wasn't that powerful, was he?

"What a crazy world... Well then, please take care of me from now on, Mr. Luo~"

It seems that the person who could best secure his talent and scientific research value was the Rahu standing before him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Orleans held up stacks of research record sheets in his hand.

He accepted Luo Hou's invitation to serve in the new team.

After all, he was a truly genius scientist who was able to develop pure gold even without funding.

There are only two things that Orleans Mo regrets most in his life.

The first was that his wife died in the mouth of an anglerfish.

This is an irreversible fact. More than 200 years have passed, and he has long since come to terms with it.

The second issue was the lack of sufficient funding for scientific research, which led to the subsequent forced cessation of various research projects.

If he could join the ranks of a powerful, easy-going, and seemingly kind strongman like Rahu as a scientist, he would definitely be able to better realize his true ideals!

There's an old Chinese saying, "CC is for Wei Junjie~"

"As long as you follow me diligently and contribute to my future team, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Yes, you definitely won't regret your choice today~"

Luo Hou looked at Orleans Mo, whose scientific mind was no less than Vegapunk's, with great satisfaction and exclaimed in admiration.

Luo Hou was very happy about the addition of this talented person.

He had barely regained his physical body when this guy offered him pure gold that could grant him immortality.

Both morally and logically, we can't let such a shrewd and worldly person be overlooked.

After gently patting Orleansmo on the shoulder, Lawrence used his Paramecia-type Float-Float Fruit ability to float him into the air.

We're preparing to set off to find a new island and gather some information. We want to see how Kaido and Rocks are doing.

Has a new, more powerful pirate force emerged to oppose the World Government and aim to kill the Celestial Dragons?

"Boss, before we depart, could you allow me to take my mischievous daughter with me? She's the last thing she left me with in this world..."

Suddenly being controlled and floating in the air, Orleans Mo hesitated for a moment before setting off, glancing at Rahu.

Although his daughter had resented him for hundreds of years because of her mother's death.

But as a good father, he couldn't possibly stop loving his daughter because of that.

"Of course! There's no need to be so reserved in my team. You're far more valuable than you realize."

"For example... if you could create artificial Devil Fruits, or further research into genetics and create a gene potion that allows the human body to absorb the energy of multiple Devil Fruits at the same time?"

Luo Hou looked in the direction Orleans Mo was pointing and waved.

A pure white cloud instantly condensed.

Then she floated lightly towards the blonde little girl who was still on top of the lanternfish carcass, looking at her father with some confusion.

This is a Logia-type Devil Fruit that Rahu stole when he fought against the 18 Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

Natural Type: Cloud Fruit!

A fruit that can condense into all sorts of strange clouds, such as dark clouds and white clouds.

It doesn't have much practical value in combat.

But in terms of practicality, it's still quite good.

At least for Rahu, these clouds allowed him to enjoy the feeling of soaring through the clouds while flying.

"Come on up, Olga. Although your father has wronged you in many ways over the years... we now have a new support system..."

"Let's at least give Dad a chance to make up for it and show him fatherly love."

Orleans looked at his daughter, whom he hadn't seen in a long time and who seemed somewhat unfamiliar with him, with tears welling up in his eyes.

After hesitating a few times, the little girl timidly climbed onto the white cloud created by Rahu.

After about half an hour of flying through the sky, the three of them were in a group of people.

A small to medium-sized island with lush greenery and a high vegetation coverage appeared before everyone.

This island is surrounded by numerous towering cliffs resembling karst landforms, and together with the residential houses of the surrounding highly commercialized town, the whole place exudes a unique vitality.

At present, there is no source of information to inquire about.

So Rahu immediately decided to rest on this island for a while and ask passersby how the situation at sea was developing.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

If Rocks had returned even earlier than him, Rahu planned to go directly to Rocks and have his side storm the Holy Land once again.

As long as the Celestial Dragons exist, this species will never disappear.

Luo Hou couldn't let go of the murderous intent in his heart for even a day.
