One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Upon hearing that he wanted to see pure gold, Kaido immediately transformed into human form, pushed through the crowd, and grabbed Roy's shoulder:

"Roy! You promised to give me a share! You can't go back on your word!"

Roy felt dizzy from being shaken and slapped his hand away impatiently: "What's the rush? You're not going to run away."

Kaido chuckled, released his grip, and stared at him expectantly.

Roy looked around and couldn't help but laugh at the gleam in everyone's eyes.

He took a small box out of his storage bag.

Roy slowly opened it.

In an instant, a golden light even more dazzling than imitation pure gold exploded!

The light was so pure it was almost blinding, and so warm it made you feel completely comfortable, as if you were soaking in a hot spring.

The entire cabin was illuminated as if it were daytime.

Everyone was stunned again.

Barrett released his grip, staring at the pure gold, his eyes wide like saucers: "This...this is..."

Roy took the pure gold out of the box and twirled it in his hand.

"Look! This is real pure gold."

Holy crap!!!

Barrett snatched the pure gold, examining it from all angles. "Really?! Is this real?!"

Tesoro leaned closer, his eyes wide with amazement: "Boss! This stuff can really make people live forever?"

Yamato jumped up and down excitedly: "Roy! Roy! Let me see! Let me see!"

Kaido shoved Barrett aside, snatched the pure gold, and examined it closely.

"Hehehehe... Roy! You're really something! You've got those guys completely fooled!"

He was increasingly satisfied with what he saw, and his mouth was practically watering.

Roy couldn't help but laugh at his expression: "Alright, stop looking, you're not going anywhere."

He reached out and beckoned, and the pure gold floated up from Kaido's hand and flew back into his palm.

"However, before we split up, there's something I need to make clear to you."

Roy put the pure gold back in the box, closed the lid, and the golden light disappeared.

The crowd calmed down and stared at him expectantly.

Roy beckoned: "Miskia, come here."

In the corner of the cabin, the fat man dressed in a dinosaur costume was huddled there, trembling all over.

Hearing Roy call him, he jumped and almost lost his balance.

"Huh? Yes! Yes!"

He stumbled over, followed by Olga and the lizard.

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle at his comical appearance.

"And who is this?" Barrett asked.

Roy explained, "Mischia Olga, a scientist from two hundred years ago. He invented pure gold."

Everyone was stunned, and their gazes toward Miskia changed instantly.

Scientists from two hundred years ago?!

Alive?!

Miskia's legs went weak under the stares of so many people, and she stammered, "G-Gentlemen... I am Miskia..."

Olga peeked out from behind her father, curiously observing the people.

Roy patted Mischia on the shoulder:

"Don't be nervous. Let me explain to everyone what pure gold is."

Mischia swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to calm down.

He cleared his throat and began to explain.

"Well... pure gold... can't actually make people live forever."

These words stunned the entire audience once again.

"What?"

Barrett glared.

"Can't live forever? What's the point of robbing then!"

Mischia, terrified by Barrett's intimidating presence, shrank back and quickly explained:

"No...no...it can extend lifespan! But it can't grant immortality!"

He pointed to the box in Roy's hand:

"Pure gold can emit a special kind of light wave that can slow down the metabolism of living organisms."

To give an example, a normal person's metabolic rate is 1, but if they carry pure gold, their metabolic rate might drop to 0.1, or even 0.01.

"Therefore, your body will age ten times or a hundred times slower than normal."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Tezzolo asked, "How long can he live?"

Mischia thought for a moment: "Theoretically speaking... it could take hundreds or thousands of years."

However, the prerequisite is that you must always wear pure gold and not be too far away from it.

Once you leave the radiation zone, your body will return to normal metabolism.

"and……"

He paused, then glanced cautiously at the crowd.

"I speculate that the radiation from pure gold might stop the wearer's physical growth the moment they put it on."

"In other words, once you put on pure gold, your strength will no longer improve."

Everyone fell silent again.

Barrett frowned: "So, wearing this thing, while it allows you to live a long time, also freezes your strength?"

Mischia nodded: "Yes...that's roughly the idea."

Everyone looked at each other.

Yamato scratched his head: "Then... should we wear it or not?"

Savi pouted: "I'm not wearing it. I'm still young, and I need to get stronger!"

Pea nodded: "Right! We can wear it later when we can't play anymore!"

Tesoro chuckled: "Anyway, I'm still young, no rush."

On the contrary, Kaido stared at the box, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

For him, stagnation in strength was worse than death.

"Roy,"

"Is this guy telling the truth?!"

"It can't be wrong, after all, he is the inventor of pure gold."

"He should know best what the benefits of pure gold are!"

"Damn it!"

Roy couldn't help but chuckle at Kaido's expression, which was a mixture of disbelief and resentment.

This old guy has lived for decades, what storms hasn't he seen?

But when it comes to pure gold, he's like a greenhorn.

"Don't worry, Mischia's words are trustworthy."

Roy patted the box.

"But if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself."

"Let's wait a few years and see if our strength has increased."

Kaido rolled his eyes: "Try it my ass! What if it really stops? Who am I going to cry to then?"

Barrett chuckled beside him: "Kaido, even you have moments of fear?"

"What's the point of me risking my life to get my hands on pure gold then?!"

"Roy!"

"I'll leave my share with you."

Roy raised an eyebrow: "What? Don't you want immortality?"

Kaido grinned: "Immortality? What I want is to fight! To become stronger!"

What's the point of living so long if you can't fight?

"However!" Kaido's expression changed.

"When I need it, you'd better give me my share!"

Roy smiled faintly: "Alright. You can keep it then. Anyway, our Roy Pirates don't need it right now."

Roy put the box into his storage bag and looked at everyone.

"You all heard it."

This thing can save your life, but it will limit your progress in strength.

If I want to wear it, I'll think about it later.

Now, nobody should even think about getting it.

Everyone nodded in agreement; no one objected.

Barrett chuckled: "Anyway, with the captain here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Tesoro chimed in, "Right, right! With the boss around, who would dare come to their death?"

Yamato jumped up: "Roy is the best!"

Roy looked at this group of heartless guys and shook his head helplessly.

Well, this is fine too.
