"Nox, I didn't expect it to be you. You found the explosive rock too?"
World asked with an ugly expression.
He knew how much time, manpower, and resources he had spent searching for the explosive rock. Now that he had finally found it, someone unexpectedly showed up to steal his things. If he hadn't known he couldn't beat the other party, he would have definitely killed them!
"Of course I found it. However, there are two storage bases for the explosive rock here. I have already occupied one. To each their own, the remaining storage base for the explosive rock is yours!"
"I don't want the explosive rock to all explode here because of our fight. You should know the characteristics of the explosive rock. Don't let it leak during transportation, and then cause this island to be blown up and sink!"
Nox said indifferently.
He didn't want to fight a big battle with World. World's More-More Fruit has extremely strong explosive power. Even if he could defeat World, it would cause a very big commotion, and the explosive rock might explode accidentally, which would be more loss than gain.
It was better to give World a share. After all, no matter what, Nox only knew there was explosive rock here because of World.
"Okay!"
Although World was very unhappy in his heart, reason made him suppress his anger and agree. Now, if the two of them fought, it would not be beneficial to either of them.
In the face of profit, face, anger, and everything else must take a back seat. This is what a smart Pirate should do.
At least the current World is not as crazy and stupid as he was in the original work.
After speaking, World immediately rushed towards the other storage base. He absolutely had to get his hands on the explosive rock!
"Captain, we've finished moving!"
Ten minutes later, Kyle walked out with everyone.
"After you finish moving, first pack the spatial scrolls and give them to me, and then continue to pack all the data, equipment, and instruments in the base into the spatial scrolls and take them away!"
Nox said.
In this base, not only the explosive rock is valuable, but the value of the data and equipment for mining the explosive rock is more valuable than the current explosive rock in the long run.
As long as they have these data and equipment, their Limitless Pirates can also continuously mine explosive rock like the Marine.
"Yes, Captain!"
After hearing Nox's words, the Dark Guards immediately handed the spatial scrolls containing the explosive rock to Nox, and then continued to move other things in the base.
"What? Colbert Island is out of contact?"
Just as Nox and World were moving things on Colbert Island, Marineford Fleet Admiral Kong roared in his office.
Colbert Island contacted Marineford every half hour. Now that it was out of contact, it meant that Colbert Island had encountered misfortune, and not even a signal could be transmitted back. Only those big Pirate Crew in the New World could do this.
"Immediately let Sengoku go to Colbert Island and find out what's going on for me!"
Kong roared. On Colbert Island, their Marine had invested huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Just thinking about it now, Kong couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart. That was the continuous investment of the Marine for many years, and now it was actually...
The Dark Guards moved quickly, and in just half an hour, they moved everything of value.
"Let's go!"
After moving everything, Nox immediately led his people away from here.
As for World's No. 2 storage room, Nox didn't care at all, because all the explosive rock data, equipment, and instruments were concentrated in Base No. 1, and Base No. 2 was just a backup storage room.
World and his group also moved quickly, because World only cared about the explosive rock. They quickly moved the explosive rock onto the ship and left Colbert Island at about the same time as Nox.
"Hahahaha, I finally found the explosive rock! I'm no longer afraid of anyone from now on!"
After World got the explosive rock and sailed away, he roared excitedly at the bow of the ship.
Although Nox took half of the explosive rock, getting so much explosive rock made him feel a little better.
"Brother, I've got the explosive rock, but I..."
World excitedly called his brother to share his joy, and then told him what happened.
"Brother, after you get the explosive rock, hide it in batches. You only need to keep a part of it in your hand!"
"Then we'll go to the Calm Belt to hide, take the opportunity to make some plans, and it will also be convenient to avoid the Marine's revenge."
"We won't bother with Nox's matter, but we can disclose the information to the Marine. We can't let the Marine only retaliate against us. The Limitless Pirates also have a share, let them help us bear some of the Marine's revenge."
Bin Jack said calmly. He was equivalent to World's brain. Half of the credit for World, this idiot, being able to develop the Pirate Crew to this point belongs to Bin Jack.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother!"
Although World felt a little unhappy about hiding from the Marine, he wasn't stupid and knew that his brother's decision was the best at the moment.
"It's all gone, damn World!"
When Sengoku arrived at Colbert Island, he found that all the Marine here were dead, and all the explosive rock, even the equipment, instruments, and data inside Colbert Island were all gone.
Sengoku was so angry that he almost wanted to blast this island with a few shock waves and sink it!
"Fleet Admiral..."
Under duress, Sengoku could only pick up the den den mushi and report this matter to Kong.
"What!!!!"
Even though Kong had already guessed the result, when he really knew the result of this matter, he was still so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Their Marine's seven years of investment, it's all gone, gone, all gone!!!
"Sengoku, you will make the plan. No matter what, the World Pirates must pay the price. It would be best if we can snatch back everything lost from Colbert Island from the World Pirates!"
Kong said through clenched teeth.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"
Sengoku reluctantly agreed. In the current New World, their Marine simply cannot intervene. If they want to deal with World, they can only act when he goes to the Four Seas to plunder through the Calm Belt, otherwise it's just nonsense.
To get back everything from Colbert Island from World, they need the power of the intelligence department.
Many islands in the Calm Belt near the Limitless Sea have been occupied by the Limitless Pirates, and many of these islands are empty.
So after Nox got the explosive rock, he divided it into three batches and stored them on three islands respectively, in case the explosive rock suddenly exploded and detonated all the explosive rock.
Then he asked Athena to send people to these three islands to build bases, bases specially built for the explosive rock.
"Yumaz, look at these materials and see how to mine explosive rock."
Nox took the explosive rock data to Scientist Yumaz's laboratory.
"Captain, this explosive rock is hidden at least tens of meters or even hundreds of meters below the seabed, and the natural growth environment is very harsh. It is not found everywhere, and it requires..."
When Yumaz saw Nox, he immediately picked up the data and looked at it for more than an hour.
"We've already snatched back the necessary equipment. Now we just need to search for where there is explosive rock in the Sea. This is a sample of explosive rock. Can you make a device to detect explosive rock? Then let the Fishman fleet go to the Sea to explore."
Nox directly interrupted Yumaz's words. He didn't understand those professional terms, so he just handed Yumaz a jar of explosive rock.
"Uh, Captain, that's no problem. The data says which environmental conditions are likely to contain explosive rock."
Yumaz said, then carefully took the explosive rock. He had just read the data on this thing. Once it exploded, his entire laboratory would be blown away.
"That's good. After you finish it, find Gerald and ask him to dispatch the Fishman fleet to carry out this task. Also, you should go and see if there are any problems with those explosive rock mining instruments, and then train some people to specialize in mining explosive rock."
Nox said.
"These are all no problem. By the way, Captain, have you thought about how to use these explosive rocks?"
Yumaz asked, looking at the explosive rock in his hand.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Nox asked.
"Captain, currently this explosive rock can only be used like dynamite, but wouldn't it be better if we could put the explosive rock into our cannonballs?"
Yumaz said excitedly.
"Well, your idea is good. You will be responsible for realizing this in the future. Also, have you thought about timed detonation, or remote control detonation?"
Immediately afterwards, Nox transmitted some modern concepts to Yumaz.
"Captain, you are truly a genius. You can come up with such a brilliant idea. If we can achieve this, the power of our weapons will increase several times!"
Hearing his Captain's fantastic ideas, Yumaz was very impressed.
"Then you work hard. These will depend on you to achieve in the future."
Nox said, patting Yumaz on the shoulder.
There are also many scientists in the Limitless Pirates now, some of whom they trained themselves, and some of whom were recruited from all over the World.
After many years of the Limitless Pirates' uncostly investment in scientific research, Yumaz has finally been able to stand on his own and become the strongest among many scientists, the chief scientist of the Limitless Pirates.
