"Delicious."
Nox answered without thinking.
"Then, Husband, are the mermaid girls beautiful?"
Shakky continued to ask.
After a year, Fish-Man Island has immigrated to the Limitless Sea three times, and there are already 150,000 Fishman living on Siren Island, with more to come in the future.
"Not beautiful. How can they be as beautiful as my wife?"
Even when answering subconsciously, Nox's reply was still perfect.
"Then why wasn't Husband looking at me when you answered, but instead staring intently at those mermaid girls?"
Shakky turned Nox's face back, stared into his eyes, and asked with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of coldness.
"Cough cough!"
When Shakky asked him this, Nox felt a little guilty. He thought his answer was flawless, but his eyes betrayed him.
Shakky pulled Nox and buried his face in her 'weapon'.
If it weren't for Nox's excellent breath-holding skills, he would probably have been suffocated by Shakky's 'weapon'.
"Husband, just listen to me report like this."
"Over the past year, the five Pirate Crew, John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Brandon, and World, have been plundering the Four Seas from time to time. At the same time, they are also recruiting talented people from the Four Seas."
"After all, the New World has been occupied by various Pirate Crew, and they have no hope of expansion. They can only rely on the Four Seas. This is fine; they are also smart. Their plundering has no pattern, giving the Marine no chance to intercept them. Therefore, the World Government and the Marine are very troubled by this now."
Shakky said slowly.
"Then they are quite smart. They know to plunder together so they can support each other even if they are intercepted. They know that many pirates in the New World are willing to join the Flying Pirates and the Limitless Pirates, so they go to the Four Seas to recruit crew members."
Nox said, turning his face out from the magnificent 'weapon'.
"Listen to me, and don't move!"
"The Flying Pirates have established an intelligence network and are collecting information on major Pirate Crew, the Marine, the World Government, and other major forces in the World, especially the Roger Pirates, which they are very interested in."
"The Roger Pirates, for some unknown reason, suddenly returned from the New World through Fish-Man Island to the first half of the Grand Line a while ago, and are now hovering near Reverse Mountain."
"Regarding the movements of the World Pirates that you asked me to pay attention to before, they are divided into two parts. One part goes with World to plunder, and the other part is searching for something in the first half of the New World under the command of Bin Jack. Their search area is getting smaller and smaller, and they seem to have confirmed the location."
"Also, regarding the MADS research organization established by the Loan King Feld, which you asked me to pay attention to before, I have found out that it was established last year. However, there are now many forces watching it, including the World Government's CP and some other forces from the Four Seas."
Seeing that Nox actually dared to dodge her 'weapon', Shakky immediately pressed Nox's face back into it before slowly starting to speak.
"Is Roger sick? It seems the time for the true Great Pirate era is not far off!"
After hearing Shakky's words, Nox thought to himself, this is the time when Roger invited the ship doctor Crocus to join the ship.
Although the entire World is now experiencing a significant increase in pirate power due to Nox, with the World Government frequently being suppressed and its prestige constantly declining, it has not yet sparked a worldwide pirate craze.
This World is still not chaotic enough; even though the Four Seas are occasionally plundered by John and others, they are still in a stable phase.
The true age of pirates still needs this guy, Roger, to truly begin!
"Shakky, keep a close eye on the MADS research organization. As soon as those scientists show signs of leaving or being hijacked, inform me immediately. It would be best to place a few mirrors nearby so I can reach there at any time."
"Also, once World's search area is confirmed, send Law Net to search secretly, then tell me, and we will get involved too."
Nox said.
There are many scientists in MADS, especially Vegapunk, the user of the More-More Fruit. Nox doesn't know if Vegapunk has already researched the blueprint of life, a technology that transcends the era.
But for now, he doesn't plan to snatch all the scientists from MADS. At least not until Vegapunk completes the blueprint of life, he doesn't plan to snatch them.
Because he cannot guarantee that he can make Vegapunk work for him. The worst-case scenario is that after he hijacks Vegapunk, Vegapunk refuses to submit to him. In that case, at least he will have a way to get the blueprint of life from Vegapunk.
If he were to snatch the scientists from the MADS laboratory now, the worst possible outcome might be that he wouldn't even get the complete blueprint of life.
As for what World is looking for, Nox has a guess, but he is not sure yet. He needs to personally confirm it.
"No problem, Husband, you can rest assured about my work!"
Shakky said with a smile, holding Nox's head.
Marineford:
"That damn World, this guy is clearly looking for explosive rock. How did that guy know that our Marine controls explosive rock?"
Kong said through gritted teeth after receiving the information from the intelligence department.
explosive rock is a powerful explosive substance hidden in the deep sea, discovered by the Marine scientific research department. Its power is dozens of times greater than gunpowder, and to a certain extent, it can even be compared to Ancient Weapon.
However, explosive rock is quite unstable and will explode upon contact with air, so the Marine scientific research department also paid a lot.
Only then did they develop the technology to mine explosive rock from the deep sea, but they had only been mining for a few years when this guy World found clues.
The most important thing is that the Marine finally established a mining base on Colbert Island, with huge investment. Once discovered by World, all their previous investments would be wasted!
"Inform Sengoku, who is stationed in the New World, to send someone to eliminate the people World sent to scout for the location of the explosive rock. They absolutely cannot let the other party find the location of Colbert Island."
"Also, inform the Marine on Colbert Island to immediately arrange personnel to transfer the explosive rock."
Kong said after thinking for a while.
At this point, it is impossible to hide it anymore. They can only transfer the explosive rock, even if the loss is huge, they must transfer it.
Once World obtains the explosive rock, coupled with the amplification power of his More-More Fruit, that guy will possess a weapon comparable to an Ancient Weapon. Furthermore, given his identity as a Pirate, Kong feels his scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Colbert Island:
"Hahahahaha, I finally found this place!"
World burst into laughter as he looked at the Marine stationed on the island.
Kong and Sengoku did not expect that the pirates World had left behind to continue searching were meant to mislead the Marine, making them think that World had not truly found Colbert Island yet.
Who would have thought that while Sengoku was sending people to deal with those pirates, World had already arrived on Colbert Island.
"Quick, quick, quick, get everything out of here!"
In the Marine base on Colbert Island, Vice Admiral Melvin Wells, who was stationed there, commanded his subordinates to take away all the instruments, equipment, explosive rock, and data.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
However, what he didn't realize was that in the place where the explosive rock was stored, invisible bullets were silently reaping the lives of these Marine.
"Ah!!!"
"Help me!!"
"Enemy attack!!"
"."
Upon seeing their comrades fall, the Marine immediately became alert, even shouting to their comrades outside, hoping to attract attention from the outside.
But their screams, shouts, and gunshots were all extinguished by an invisible force, not a single bit escaping.
These Marine didn't even see how their comrades died, who the enemy was, or where the enemy was. They knew absolutely nothing about all of this. In less than ten seconds, they all turned into corpses lying on the ground.
After reaping the lives of all the Marine here, Kyle emerged from his invisible state. With him were Nox and some people personally selected by Nox, who were completely loyal to him.
These people were called Dark Guards by Nox. The Dark Guards had developed for five years, reaching a total of five thousand people. Today, he brought five hundred Dark Guards with him.
"Kyle, well done!"
Seeing this, Nox couldn't help but praise him.
Kyle's Invisibility Fruit is indeed useful. It can not only hide himself but also help others hide their figures. He brought so many of them here without anyone knowing.
In addition to hiding physical form, it can hide sound, breathing, and even the slight airflow generated when walking. It is simply a perfect divine assassination skill!
"Hehe, thank you, Captain, for the compliment."
Kyle couldn't help but laugh when he heard Nox's words.
Then he looked around. There were things here loaded with red liquid in tempered glass. The Marine just now wanted to move these things away, and they were their target this time.
"All right, Kyle, you go outside and watch. The rest of you hurry up and move these explosive rocks for me."
"Be careful, everyone. Absolutely do not let the explosive rock leak out, or once an explosion occurs, everyone present will die!"
Nox said solemnly. Although he had told them once before coming, he still felt it necessary to emphasize it again.
"Yes, Captain!"
After speaking, those Dark Guards began to take out scrolls, open them, then carefully take out the explosive rock and put it inside the scroll space.
These space scrolls were created by the Scroll-Scroll Fruit user previously trained by Shakky. They contain stable space inside and can be used as storage equipment.
Although they are not permanent, they can currently ensure storage for three months. If the contents are not taken out after three months, the space inside the storage scroll will collapse, and everything inside will be destroyed.
It can be said that since these space scrolls were created, they have saved the Limitless Pirates a lot of manpower and material resources in transportation, making them very useful items.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"
However, just as they had taken out the explosive rock, the entire Marine base emitted a sharp alarm sound. Beams of red light shone towards the sky, and the entire island could see that something had gone wrong here.
"These Marine are really vigilant. They even discovered this!"
"You don't need to worry, keep loading. Kyle, come back here and watch them, I'll go outside!"
Upon hearing the alarm, Nox's face darkened. It was probably an issue with their unauthorized operation that triggered the alarm. These Marine were truly vigilant!
"Not good, Storage Room 1 is alarming, there are enemies invading!"
Seeing this, Vice Admiral Melvin Wells immediately led his men to Storage Room 1. He didn't expect that someone would invade so soon after receiving the message from Marineford. This message from Marineford came too late!
"World's Greatest Swordsman Nox, how could it be him!"
However, just as Vice Admiral Melvin Wells arrived nearby with his men, he saw someone blocking their path.
When he clearly saw who the person blocking the path was, his soul immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This man was too familiar to him, so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar!
"This place has been occupied by me. You Marine should not disturb me while I'm moving things."
Nox's gaze turned cold, and instantly, the Haoshoku Haki on his body, like a tsunami, engulfed the thousand or so Marine in front of him. Blood-red lightning, like ten thousand thunderbolts, poured down.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The heads of these Marine seemed to have been struck by lightning, and they all fainted, falling to the ground. Only the leading Vice Admiral Melvin Wells did not fall.
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be a Vice Admiral here? What a pity!"
Seeing that someone didn't fall, Nox looked closely at his uniform and medals.
But he only glanced. With a raise of his hand, the Seven Star Sword unleashed a hundred-meter slash.
"Puchi!!!"
Vice Admiral Melvin Wells wanted to block it, but this slash was as fast as lightning. His Kenbunshoku Haki sensed it, but his body couldn't react in time.
The slash cut across his neck without any obstruction. In an instant, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground as a headless corpse.
"Hmm? Haoshoku Haki? That's Nox!"
World, who had just led his men charging onto the island, immediately sensed the aura of Nox's Haoshoku Haki after noticing the changes on the island.
They are all Great Pirates in the New World, and each Great Pirate's Haoshoku Haki is filled with their personal will. These Great Pirates can tell who the other person is through their Haoshoku Haki even without meeting.
"Why is this guy Nox here too? No, I absolutely cannot let him have it all!"
"I'll go ahead, you guys hurry up and follow!"
World called out to the pirates behind him and immediately rushed over.
"Oh? World, I didn't expect you to find your way here too!"
Nox was not surprised to see World appear before him, as he had already known.
