Chapter 335 The Adorable Useless Person

The Sabaody Islands, actually more accurately called the Sabaody Archipelago, are located near the Navy Headquarters. There is a mangrove tree, the Yarchiman mangrove, which forms the Sabaody Islands because its roots are always exposed above the water.

The most distinctive feature of the Sambaudet Islands is the special natural resin secreted by the roots of the Yarchiman mangroves due to respiration. The resin expands into bubbles as it gets airborne, and then floats into the sky.

Because the bubbles are only suitable for the climate range of the Yarchiman mangroves, once the bubbles leave the climate range of the Sambaudet Islands, the resin components will explode because they cannot exert their full power.

Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, houses built on bubbles... bubble culture permeates every corner of Sabaody Archipelago!

The entire island is made up of 79 trees (each numbered), and each tree has a town and facilities. People call this archipelago of 79 islands the "Sambaudet Islands".

Yes, this is the description of the Sabaody Archipelago on the Wisdom Encyclopedia website.

The Sabaody Archipelago is also clearly divided into regions, as indicated by the numbers on the trees.

Number range:

Numbers 1 to 29: mainly include human trafficking shops, human auctions, and illegal areas.

Numbers 30 to 39: Mainly include Soap Bubble Park, etc.

Numbers 40 to 49: mainly tourist areas, specialty shops, etc.

Numbers 50 to 59: mainly shipyards, coating craftsmen, etc.

Numbers 60 to 69: mainly include naval bases and government entrances/exits.

Numbers 70 to 79: mainly consist of hotel streets, etc.

The entrance to the Sabaody Archipelago for ordinary people is Mangrove Tree No. 44, which is a tourist area, so it is lined with all kinds of shops for eating, drinking, and entertainment.

Ning Yuan was already excited when he saw Perona looking at the Sabaody Islands from afar, and his eyes practically lit up when he set foot on the islands!

After all, this is a tourist street; what woman doesn't love shopping?

Besides, Perona has lived in the Devil's Triangle since she was a child, and she's been cooped up in the water for ages.

"What's this?" Perona stopped in front of a toy stall and asked, pointing to a windmill.

Although it's called a windmill, it's actually encased in bubbles.

"This is our Sabaody Archipelago, with bubble windmills!" The shopkeeper saw Perona's gorgeous Lolita dress, and then looked at Ning Yuan's clothes, which, although the brand was unclear, were obviously expensive based on the material. Clearly, this was a big customer!

He excitedly explained, "You can throw this windmill in any direction, and it will come back!"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper threw the windmill he was holding away.

Then Ning Yuan saw that the windmill inside, which was clearly wrapped in resin, was spinning!

Moreover, the windmill spun around in the air like a boomerang before returning to the old man's hand.

"I want this!" Perona immediately grabbed a dark red windmill, then turned around and started playing with it.

However, it seems there's a trick to it; she threw it out twice, but the windmill didn't come back.

"One more, how much?" Ning Yuan picked up one as well and asked.

"10 Berries each!"

Ning Yuan was speechless. This bubble was made from natural materials, and the windmill inside was just ordinary wood, worth at most some production cost. You dare to ask for 100,000 Berries for this?

"Alright!" He still took out 20 Berries and handed them to the boss. Anyway, Alabasta was selling off Berries, so spending a little more money didn't matter.

"This resin is quite interesting!" Ning Yuan activated his senses and studied the bubbles in his hand.

This bubble is not completely sealed; it's more like a permeable membrane that can prevent water molecules from entering, but it won't block air molecules.

Furthermore, do you remember Ning Yuan's previous discovery that there are domineering particles inside everything in this world?

The powerful particles inside this resin are quite special. They naturally form a unique structure that allows it to interact with the nearby trees, creating a balance of internal and external pressure.

This is the main reason why bubbles can be coated onto ships and then used to dive to depths of tens of thousands of meters. It is actually a kind of powerful particle technology, rather than the excellent material properties of the bubbles themselves.

Ning Yuan recorded this technology and had it archived by the goddess of wisdom.

Although this technology is naturally occurring, since Ningyuan has already deciphered its principles, it can naturally be applied to other materials, such as metals.

Then they will build submarines that can sink tens of thousands of meters deep into the sea.

"Why can't it work!" Perona had already thrown it several times, but each time the windmill ball would fall to the ground more than ten meters away and never return.

She angrily turned to the boss: "Boss, are you lying to me? This windmill is never coming back!"

"That's how you play this thing!" Ning Yuan said, "Hold the windmill facing us, and when you throw it, don't throw it straight ahead, but to the right!"

As he spoke, he threw the ball once, and the ball in his hand drew an arc in the air before returning to Ning Yuan's hand.

"Huh?" Perona blinked, then picked up her windmill ball and tried to throw it too.

The principle behind this thing is not complicated. The windmill inside the resin is made from the Yarlung mangrove, which has a certain magnetic stability, meaning it tends to stay in place.

Therefore, as long as you throw it diagonally upwards and with too much force, and by following certain physical principles, you can keep the windmill ball within its original trajectory.

As for the issue of the windmill inside rotating, whether it rotates or not does not affect the ball's return, as long as the angle is correct.

If you don't want to make it into a windmill, making it into a big pancake will have the same effect.

As for why it's a windmill, maybe it's for aesthetic purposes?

The windmill will spin after being thrown out, not because the wind blows in, but because the windmill blades cut the magnetic field lines of the mangroves, thus generating power.

Its principle is somewhat similar to that of an electric motor.

Anyway, this thing isn't complicated. As long as the general angle is right, it can return.

After listening to Ning Yuan's explanation, Perona tried it for the first time and found that the windmill ball had indeed returned!

"Amazing!" She caught the returning windmill ball, her face beaming with joy.

It seems that shopping really does help forget hatred?

"Shall we continue shopping?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Okay!" Perona nodded emphatically.

With the toy in her hand, she looked at Ning Yuan with less disgust.

And thinking about it carefully, she and Ning Yuan didn't have any deep-seated hatred between them.

Although Moria is her adoptive father, they have another relationship before that: captain and subordinate of a pirate crew.

Perona grew up receiving the education of a pirate, heard many pirate stories, and personally defeated many pirate crews. Naturally, she understood a principle: no pirate crew can exist forever, and no matter how strong a pirate crew is, there will always be a stronger one!

Even Moria lost to Kaido back then, didn't he?

The defeated pirate crews would then be subject to the victors' judgment.

For example, Moria would take away the souls of the defeated, and Perona would plunder the treasures and beautiful clothes of the pirates.

Now that Moria has lost, it's only natural that Ning Yuan would take over Moria's members.

Let alone Ning Yuan wanting to marry her, even if he did something to her right there in the castle, that would be the treatment a victor deserves.

Ning Yuan not only did not do that, but also respected her very much, took care of her thoughts and feelings in every way, and even took her shopping!

This is hardly the treatment a prisoner should receive!

"Is this the difference between a pirate captain and a king?" Perona didn't understand, but she enjoyed the feeling of being cared for and loved.

Although Moria treated her well, it was ultimately different.

While the two were shopping, the Five Elders were cursing and swearing.

"What did you say? Moriah is dead?"

"Yes!" The voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was from CP0, an intelligence officer directly under the Five Elders: "We've detected that Moria's Vivre Card has burned out!"

The Five Elders remained silent. The Life Card is bound to a person's life; the stronger the life force, the more complete the Life Card.

This was made by Vegapunk for the other Five Elders after Crocodile was killed by Ning Yuan, in order to prevent the mysterious deaths of the Seven Warlords from happening again.

Surprisingly, it actually came in handy.

"How did he die?" the Five Elders asked.

"Our people are heading to the Bermuda Triangle to investigate!" CP0 said. "We'll have results within an hour!"

The Five Elders were silent for a moment, then slammed their fist on the table: "It was definitely Ning Yuan who did it!"

After all, back then in the Devil's Triangle, wasn't Ning Yuan the only one capable of killing a Shichibukai?

As for whether Moria could be killed by another pirate?

Do you think the World Government is dead? How could they not know that such powerful pirates are passing through?

"But, with Ning Yuan's strength?" The Five Elders beside him raised a different opinion. It was common knowledge that Ning Yuan's strength was very weak!

The reason he was able to kill Crocodile back then wasn't because he was a strong fighter, but because Crocodile was stupid and didn't know how to dodge Seastone bullets!

"Perhaps Moria also forgot to dodge the Seastone bullets?" one of the Five Elders said.

The other four members of the Five Elders remained silent.

This possibility actually exists!

And it's not low!

These pirates are all arrogant and conceited. They wouldn't care at all if someone with no real strength pointed a gun at them!

Some people with strong defenses don't even move, relying on their physical strength to withstand the attacks.

Not to mention pirates, even in the Navy, there are plenty of people with this habit.

What? You're saying Crocodile's death a while back reminded everyone of something?

The newspaper only said that Crocodile was killed by Ning Yuan, but did not describe the specific details of the battle. The World Government only found out that Seastone bullets were used after sending Hina to inquire.

However, the World Government did issue an internal report on Crocodile's cause of death. But old habits die hard, and it's difficult to change such a long-standing habit in a short time.

Even those within the navy might not be able to defend against it, let alone Moria, who lived in the Devil's Triangle, never leaving his home, where even newspapers couldn't fly in and he was completely cut off from information.

He probably didn't even know Crocodile was dead, so how could he have learned anything from it?

Once that topic was dropped, the Five Elders began discussing other matters.

It wasn't until an hour and a half later that CP0 reported its findings.

Moria, along with his subordinates Absalom and Hogback, all died from gunshot wounds.

There were no signs of fighting at the scene.

"Useless! What a bunch of useless trash!"

The speculation was confirmed, and the Five Elders could no longer contain themselves.

What kind of idiocy is this? If you were killed by a strong person, that would be one thing, but to be shot and killed by an ordinary person because of carelessness?

That's really stupid!

And there weren't just one, but two idiots?

"Such an idiot, and he's even a Shichibukai?"

"Fortunately, the one who killed them was one of our own. He didn't go around revealing the cause of death of the two Shichibukai, barely saving the World Government's face!"

The Five Elders exchanged glances: "Now that things have come to this, can he still be called one of us?"

"Then let's see if Moria explains his reasons for arresting Ning Yuan!"

If Moria didn't say during his fight with Ning Yuan that the Five Elders had ordered the arrest, then Ning Yuan would still be considered one of their own for the time being.

If you tell them, then you're probably still friends.

After all, even if Ning Yuan knew that the World Government was hostile to him, so what? Could you possibly be an opponent of the World Government?

As a nation situated on the Grand Line, do you even know how many navies we have deployed along the Grand Line?

wrong!

The Five Elders then remembered that CP0 said there were no signs of a struggle at the scene.

In other words, Moria and Ning Yuan didn't even fight; Moria just died?

So what exactly is going on?

"Ring ring!" The Den Den Mushi rang again.

"This is CP0. We've discovered Ning Yuan's trail on the Sabaody Archipelago. He's accompanied by Perona, the Ghost Princess, formerly under Moonlight Moria's command. The two are strolling through the shopping district!"

The five elders exchanged a glance; the case was solved.

Ningyuan said there's a beautiful Lolita in the Devil's Triangle, which might be referring to this Perona.

He really did go to pick up girls, and he actually succeeded?

And while chasing girls, he even managed to kill one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

How on earth did that happen?! It's truly unbelievable!

Do you even know how difficult it is for the Navy to catch a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million?!

The five elders were all very old and had seen countless bizarre things, but when faced with this matter, they thought about it again and again and still couldn't figure it out.

If I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking about it.

The God of Scientific Defense immediately closed his eyes and shouted, "Goddess of Wisdom, contact Ning Yuan!"

Actually, he didn't need to close his eyes when using the goddess of wisdom; it was subconscious.

"Dialing a phone number, please wait!" came the gentle voice of the goddess of wisdom, followed by a beep, and the call was connected.

The whole process seems to be no different from that of a Den Den Mushi, except that you have to dial a number for a Den Den Mushi, but not for a Demigoddess.

Furthermore, Den Den Mushi can simulate human faces, a feature that even Athena doesn't possess.

Video calls are indeed possible, but Ningyuan has not made this function available to the public; it is only used by the military and high-ranking members of the revolutionary army.

"Hey, this is Ning Yuan!" Ning Yuan's voice came from the interface: "What do the Five Elders want with me?"

"Did you kill Moria?" the God of Science Defense asked.

"Ah, yes!" Ning Yuan nodded. "But you can't blame me. I went to Moria to arrange a marriage, saying I wanted to marry her daughter and was even willing to let him command Alabasta's 60-strong army. Isn't commanding the living much more satisfying than commanding the dead?"

"But he wouldn't agree and insisted on massacring my village. I had no choice but to kill him!"

The God of War was speechless about the scientific defense, but strangely, he felt it made perfect sense.

It sounds unbelievable that Ning Yuan would let her adoptive father take command of an army of 60 for the sake of a woman, but he was capable of doing it.

Ning Yuan once assembled an entire navy in pursuit of a naval captain.

He even went so far as to create a bank record in order to pursue a money-loving female pirate.

Now, why not hand over the army command system to Moria for the sake of a pretty girl thief?

Moria's rejection of Ning Yuan's request and his decision to slaughter the town aligns with the scientific defense god's understanding of Moria.

This guy was the kind of bastard who loved corpses more than the living. On one side were the living army soldiers, and on the other side were the dead townspeople. If it were Moria, he would definitely choose the dead townspeople.

So the case is solved. The World Government had no say in the whole incident. The two got into a fight because they couldn't agree on the terms, and then Moria died.

"How did you kill him?" the God of Scientific Defense asked.

"I shot him, hit him, and he died!" Ning Yuan said calmly.

"He didn't dodge?"

"No!"

Why didn't he dodge?

"I can't reach it!"

"What about Absalom? Didn't he dodge either?" Moria's failure to dodge could be interpreted as an accident or arrogance.

Your captain is dead, so why don't you, Absalom, run away?

"No, he was stunned!" Ning Yuan said.

The God of War, who relies on scientific defense, is once again speechless.

To be honest, this kind of thing could really happen. Your captain, a dignified Shichibukai, was instantly killed by an ordinary person with a pistol. Wouldn't you be shocked?

Of course!

Then someone takes advantage of your shock and kills you with a single shot. What's the problem?

No problem!

The God of Scientific Defense didn't ask Hogback any more questions; this guy was just a doctor, and couldn't withstand bullets anymore.

"Is there anything else, Five Elders?" Ning Yuan asked. "If not, I'll hang up!"

The Five Elders were speechless. Wasn't it an honor for them to be on the phone with the Five Elders?

Oh, so this guy is a lecher. Never mind then.

To be fair, lust is better than power, and lustful people are easier to control, aren't they?

He was already thinking about whether he had any attractive women he could send to Alabasta.

"What's the deal with your Internet Fruit?" the Five Elders asked.

"Oh, this was found in the Alabasta royal treasury!" Ning Yuan's tone immediately turned to complaint as he said this, "I was thinking that since Crocodile died, there was no one left to fight pirates, so I was trying to increase my personal strength. Who would have thought this fruit would be such a useless one? It didn't increase my strength at all after eating it!"

Are those Devil Fruits hidden in Alabasta's treasure vault?

It's quite possible that Alabasta has a history older than the World Government and harbors an unrecorded Devil Fruit!

However, this is no trash fruit at all; it is clearly an extremely powerful, strategic-level Devil Fruit!

Only a piece of trash like you, whose head is filled with nothing but women, can't understand this!

The God of Scientific Defense now understood why he had always been so tolerant of Ning Yuan, and even showed some favoritism towards him.

Because he was absolutely certain that Ning Yuan was a good-for-nothing!

I sensed a sense of superiority in Ning Yuan, in terms of intelligence, vision, and even the development of his Devil Fruit.

"Did you create this goddess of wisdom?" asked the God of Science and Defense.

"No!" Ning Yuan said, "It came with me after I ate it!"

Ning Yuan is an idiot; he definitely wouldn't lie to him.

So, the scientific defense of the God of War can only be imagined by oneself. Is this goddess of wisdom the will of a Devil Fruit?

So, is this Internet Fruit also a Devil Fruit in the name of God?

"Can you view information on this internet?" the Scientific Defense God asked, "Like chat messages between people?"

"You can look at it!" Ning Yuan said impatiently, "But why would I look at this? It's too tiring! I don't even want to look at my own documents!"

The God of Scientific Defense was speechless, but he could also understand Ning Yuan very well.

A lecherous man is naturally preoccupied with pursuing women and would not want to spend his time looking at any information.

Moreover, there are 50 million people in Alabasta alone, and now this network has spread all over the world. Conservatively speaking, there are probably 70 to 80 million people using this network.

How much communication information is generated every day?

Even if this person wanted to see it, could he possibly see it all?

To be fair, it seems quite fitting to place such a strategic achievement on a useless person.

"Is there anything else?" Ning Yuan asked impatiently. "If there's nothing else, hang up on me. I'm busy here!"

The God of Scientific Defense was speechless again. If I hadn't known beforehand that you were shopping with the female pirate, I would have really thought you were busy!

"Alright, you go ahead and do your thing!" He sighed. Ning Yuan was indeed a very reliable kid, but when chatting with him, one had to be prepared for their blood pressure to spike at any moment.

After hanging up the phone, the God of Scientific Defense looked up: "The intelligent network can be made available to officials at all levels of world governments!"

"Are you sure it's safe?" the financial expert next to him asked.

He's in charge of the money, and he's always worried about the safety of the assets.

"It's hard to say about others, but it's perfectly safe for Ning Yuan!" The God of Scientific Defense nodded confidently, then added, "I'll have Sengoku cancel Perona's bounty later. Never mind, I'll contact her myself!"

The other four elders nodded, none of them having any objections.

That's the benefit of being useless: the less capable and ambitious you are, the more your superiors want to promote you.

Of course, such a political environment is rare.

As the God of Defense pondered, he suddenly saw an application.

It was Steelbone who reported this, wanting to transfer the production technology of the Buster Call cannon and its shells to Alabasta.

The Five Elders had been hesitant about this application.

Now that we've confirmed Ning Yuan is a good-for-nothing, what's there to hesitate about?

Approved!

By the way, although he is a good-for-nothing, Alabasta's national strength should not be underestimated.

Take the Alabasta Navy for example. Although the admiral was only a colonel in the World Government Navy, they accidentally recruited a naval admiral instead.

If we're not strong now, we might not be in the future.

In addition, there's this strategically important online asset.

"We still need to pay attention to this child!" said the God of Scientific Defense. "Since he likes beautiful women, should we arrange for one of them to go?"

With such a significant weakness right there, we should at least take advantage of it!

"Arrange it!" said the Financial Martial God. "The World Government could lack anything, but beautiful women are never a problem!"

Moreover, considering Ning Yuan's tastes, he has princesses, female pirates, secretaries, and female marines, which means he is not picky and will accept any beautiful woman!

"Then who should go?" asked the God of Scientific Defense.

"Why not just leave this kind of thing to the lower levels!" the Martial God of the Environment said irritably. "Do we, the Five Elders, need to worry about such things?"

"Can the people below really use something like this?" the God of Scientific Defense retorted.

The Environmental Martial God was speechless.

They understand the nature of officials in world governments.

If you let your subordinates choose the beauties, do you believe they would dare to use this incident as an excuse to hold a concubine selection?

Moreover, they would bring all the beauties into their harem and then give the leftovers to Ning Yuan!

They are absolutely capable of doing something like that!

But the God of Environment is right. Even if the Five Elders were to handle this, they wouldn't be able to. They're busy with their work every day; they wouldn't have time to go to a beauty pageant!

"Let Sengoku handle this!" After thinking for a moment, the God of Scientific Defense said, "All the beautiful women I know are Celestial Dragons, so let him pick one from the Navy!"

"Doesn't the Navy already have Hina?" asked the Environmental Warrior.

"Huh?" The God of Scientific Defense was taken aback. It seemed so!

"Forget it, let's not discuss this here!" The Financial Martial God finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Who are we, matchmakers? Why are we discussing this kind of thing in a place like this?!"

The two elders exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

It seems so!

It feels like talking to an idiot and then getting infected by that idiot's personality.

The God of Scientific Defense shook his head and vowed never to call Ning Yuan again!
