"Mr. Nox, you already possess the most powerful strength in the World, why do you still want that thing?"
Fish-Man Tom the Fishman asked, confused.
In his opinion, Nox's own strength was already the strongest in the World, and coupled with the Limitless Pirates he ruled, even the Marine couldn't defeat the Limitless Pirates.
That blueprint, for Nox, should be something insignificant.
However, although Tom had seen that blueprint, he couldn't understand many of the technologies, let alone the most complex weapon system part of the Pluto blueprint.
So he had no idea how powerful the Pluto truly was, that was a power that could destroy an island with one shot, and even comparable to uranus to a certain extent!
Destroying an island with one strike, this kind of power, in the eyes of top experts like Nox, was not considered strong, because they themselves could destroy an island with one strike.
But like uranus, completely wiping out the entire island with one strike, along with the sea area near the island. Note, it's the kind where even rocks and soil are completely annihilated in that strike.
This kind of power, even the current Nox was deeply afraid of. If he were hit, Nox believed that with his current strength, there would be no second outcome other than death.
Destroying an island with one strike was simple, but completely wiping out an island with one strike, leaving behind a giant pit like an abyss, and the sea pouring back in, unable to fill that abyss for several hours, Nox believed that this level of power could not be achieved by personal strength.
So Nox now wanted to get the Pluto blueprint to see if he could build the Pluto.
Even if he couldn't build it, after the Pluto beneath Wano Country was excavated in the future, he could use this blueprint to see if he could repair and replenish the Pluto's energy.
This was his ultimate goal.
"My Hades is being refitted. I want to build it into the largest and strongest warship in the World, so I need the thing in your hand."
Nox casually made up an excuse and said.
"Mr. Nox, I can give you that thing, but I won't go to Thomas Shipyard. I don't want to leave this city that I deeply love."
Fish-Man Tom finally agreed to hand over the item. Compared to the World Government, he was more inclined towards Nox, after all, Nox had a great kindness to the entire Fishman race.
Saying that, Fish-Man Tom the Fishman walked into the house, took out the Pluto blueprint, and handed it to Nox.
"This is my den den mushi. The request I promised you is always valid."
"When one day you encounter danger, or you want to go to the Limitless Sea, just dial this number, and I will naturally come to pick you up."
After getting the Pluto blueprint, Nox handed a special den den mushi to Fish-Man Tom the Fishman.
He was a man who kept his promises. Since Fish-Man Tom the Fishman trusted him so much, he naturally wouldn't let Fish-Man Tom the Fishman down. This kind of thing, for him, was nothing more than a small effort.
"Thank you, Mr. Nox, I hope I won't need it in the future!"
Fish-Man Tom the Fishman hesitated for a while, but still took the den den mushi in his hand. This thing was a guarantee.
"Husband, why didn't you kill them to silence them? That way, you wouldn't have to worry about the news reaching the World Government's ears."
After Nox came out, Athena asked, puzzled.
In her opinion, the best way was to kill all those who knew, or send those people to the Limitless Sea.
She didn't believe her Husband didn't do this because he didn't want to kill innocent people.
Before, her Husband had told her that if Fish-Man Tom the Fishman didn't hand it over, she should use the power of the Wisdom Fruit to control Fish-Man Tom the Fishman.
"Fish-Man Tom the Fishman should be a trustworthy person, he won't leak this matter."
Nox said with a smile.
He had a good impression of Fish-Man Tom the Fishman, and Fish-Man Tom the Fishman was also a man of integrity.
If Nox really misjudged him, it didn't matter. So what if the World Government knew? Even if they knew, with the World Government's current strength, what could they do?
Could the World Government still attack the Limitless Pirates and snatch the Pluto blueprint back?
"Then Husband, are you planning to modify the Hades according to this Pluto blueprint?"
Athena asked curiously.
Because she was supervising the modification of the Hades.
"Not entirely according to it, we probably can't fully realize the technology on it, just realize what can be realized."
"Also, let Soros see if there is a way to combine the currently available technology to make the Hades sail faster and also make the Hades fly."
In Nox's mind, the Hades was not just a ship that could sail on the Sea, it also had to be able to fly, to fly to the moon!
If uranus could directly hit targets from space, then his Hades couldn't be too far behind, could it?
"Make the Hades fly? This is a bit difficult, I'll ask Soros if he can do it then."
Hearing Nox say that he wanted to make the Hades, that giant steel ship, fly, Athena felt it was a bit impossible to achieve.
"Ah, my head hurts so much, what just happened to me?"
After Nox left, Franky and Iceberg woke up, clutching their heads.
"Master Tom, are you alright!"
After Franky woke up, he looked at Tom sitting blankly at the door, and without caring about his own headache, immediately ran over.
"It's alright, it's alright, I was just lost in thought just now!"
Tom looked at his two disciples who were concerned about him, and immediately threw all the complicated things in his heart to the back of his mind.
He didn't want to care about other things, he just wanted to live his current life well.
After returning to the Limitless Sea, Nox handed the Pluto blueprint to Soros and asked him to study it carefully.
At the same time, Nox also gave Soros the blueprint he got on Sky Island, to see if there was a way to combine the advantages of the two blueprints and apply them all to the Hades.
"Captain, your idea is great, but if you want to realize your idea, then the Hades will need a huge amount of energy, and I don't know if there is such a huge amount of energy that can drive the Hades you envisioned, and this is still without including the weapon system, if you add the weapon system, then..."
After hearing Nox's wild idea, Soros immediately felt his scalp tingle.
Even with the current knowledge from his Brain-Brain Fruit, he couldn't even theoretically realize Nox's idea, let alone actually do it.
"These are not problems. Those functions that cannot be realized can be put aside for now, but enough space must be left on the Hades. When these technologies can be realized in the future, they can be continuously added to the Hades."
"I don't want to have to rebuild the Hades when these technologies can be realized in the future and I want to add them to the Hades. That would be too time-consuming and laborious."
Nox nodded and said, he was just putting forward his idea now, and he didn't expect Soros to realize it for him now. To put it bluntly, this was a long-term project.
"Okay, no problem, Captain!"
Soros immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Nox's words. He was really afraid that Nox would ask him to make it now.
Now he hadn't even made artificial Devil Fruit, let alone realize such difficult technology.
"Hahahahaha, Shirley, come and catch me!"
"Sister Asuna, you have to be careful, Shirley swims very fast!"
"..."
After explaining the matters to Soros, Nox went home, and happened to see these two little guys, Shirley and Asuna, playing in the garden pool in the backyard.
"Father!!"
"Lord Nox!"
When the two little guys, Shirley and Asuna, saw Nox, they immediately ran out of the pool, then rushed to his legs, hugged his thighs, and were very happy.
"Shirley, how is your fortune-telling learning going? Can you now predict the location of the giant Lantern Fish I told you about before?"
Nox hugged the two little guys, Shirley and Asuna, in his arms, and asked curiously.
"Lord Nox, I can already predict the location of that giant Lantern Fish, but I don't know exactly where it is, I only know it's deep in the Sea."
Shirley said.
"Can you predict the specific direction?"
Nox asked curiously. If she could predict it, he could go find that giant Lantern Fish.
"Well, it's in that direction, but it's very, very far from here."
Shirley thought for a while, then pointed her little finger to the northeast direction and said.
"Hahahahaha, alright, let's go find that giant Lantern Fish now!"
Seeing this, Nox said happily.
"Father, Father, I want to go too, I want to go too!"
Seeing Nox say this, Asuna also acted spoiled and wanted to go with him. It had been a long time since she had gone out to play with her Father.
"Alright, alright, Asuna will go too."
Nox said with a smile.
Then, hearing Nox say he was going out to play, Toki Amatsuki, Athena, Lesley, and Shakky all ran over and said they wanted to go with him.
"Captain, I'm here!"
Finally, Koya, who had just moved a Beast Island back and hadn't had time to rest, was caught to be a boatman.
From the Limitless Sea to the location of the Lantern Fish that Shirley mentioned, no one knew how far it was. If they took a ship, it would take too long. It was faster to fly there on Koya's White Cloud Flying Ship.
"Koya, let's go now. It's been a long time since I rode your White Cloud Flying Ship!"
Athena happily took Koya's hand and walked onto the three-hundred-meter-long White Cloud Flying Ship.
"Wow, is this a ship made of white clouds? It's so big, can we really fly when we get on it?"
Shirley curiously touched the White Cloud Flying Ship, flew onto the ship with bubbles, and excitedly jumped up and down on the ship.
"Of course, this is Sister Koya's Devil Fruit power, it's amazing and fun!"
Asuna also ran around happily on the ship.
"Everyone, sit tight, we are officially setting off!"
After saying that, Koya began to control the White Cloud Flying Ship to fly eastward.
"Wow, it's really flying, it's amazing!"
Shirley saw the White Cloud Flying Ship really flying, and cheered loudly with excitement.
As a Fishman, she had lived in Fish-Man Island since she was a child, ten thousand meters deep in the bottom of the Sea. Recently, she came to the Limitless Sea and could live on land. Now she flew into the sky, one can imagine how excited she was.
The White Cloud Flying Ship was very large, and there were also many daily necessities here. The little ones played on the White Cloud Flying Ship.
Nox lay under the sun umbrella, enjoying the meticulous care of the four women. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a relaxed and comfortable life.
"Shirley, are we still far from the location of that Lantern Fish?"
Nox asked.
This was already their second day out. Every ten hours, Shirley would perform a divination to confirm her position and the position of the Lantern Fish.
"Lord Nox, I feel like we are about to approach the location of that Lantern Fish!"
Shirley said excitedly after performing another divination.
