Chapter 238 Exploding Rock

"tasty."

Li Yuan answered without thinking.

"So, my husband, is the mermaid girl pretty?"

Xia Qi continued to ask.

After a year has passed, the Fishman Island has migrated to the Wuji Sea three times, and there are already 150,000 fishmen living on Siren Island, and the number will increase in the future.

"She's not pretty. She's not as pretty as my wife."

Even though it was a subconscious answer, Li Yuan's answer was still perfect.

"Then why didn't my husband look at me when he answered, but stared at those mermaid girls?"

Xia Qi turned Li Yuan's face back, stared into his eyes, and asked with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in her tone.

"Ahem!"

Li Yuan felt guilty when Xia Qi asked him this. He thought he had done it perfectly, but his eyes betrayed him.

Xia Qi pulled Li Yuan and buried his face in her weapon.

If it weren't for Li Yuan's great breath-holding skills, he would have been suffocated to death by Xia Qi's weapon.

"My dear husband, just listen carefully to what I am reporting to you."

"Over the past year, the five pirate groups of John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, Brandon, and Ward have been going to the four seas to plunder from time to time. At the same time, they have also been going to the four seas to recruit some talented people."

"After all, the New World has been occupied by major pirate groups. They have no hope of expansion and can only rely on the four seas. This is nothing. They are also smart. There is no rule in their plundering, so the navy has no chance to block them. So now the World Government and the Navy are very troubled by this."

Xia Qi said slowly.

"They are quite smart. They knew to go plunder together. Even if they were blocked, they could still take care of each other. They knew that many pirates in the New World were willing to join the Sky Pirates and the Promise Pirates, so they went around the world to recruit crew members."

Li Yuan turned his face away from the majestic weapon and spoke.

"Just listen to me, and don't move!"

"The Flying Pirates have established an intelligence network and are collecting information about the major pirate groups, the navy, the world government, and other major forces in the New World. They are particularly interested in the Roger Pirates."

"Some time ago, for unknown reasons, the Roger Pirates suddenly returned to the first half of the Grand Line from the New World via Fishman Island, and are now wandering around Upside Down Mountain."

"You asked me to pay attention to the whereabouts of the Ward Pirates before. They are divided into two parts. One part follows Ward to plunder, and the other part is searching for something in the first half of the New World under the command of Bingjack. The scope of their search is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that they have determined the location."

"Also, I have checked the MADS experimental research organization established by the loan shark king Du Field that you drew my attention to earlier. It was established last year, but now there are many forces watching it, including the CP of the World Government and some other forces from all over the world."

Seeing that Li Yuan dared to dodge her weapon, Xia Qi immediately pressed Li Yuan's face back and then slowly began to tell the story.

"Is Roger ill? It looks like the time for the real big pirate to arrive is not far away!"

After hearing what Xia Qi said, Li Yuan thought to himself that this was the time when Roger invited the ship's doctor Kurokas to board the ship.

Although the pirates have become more powerful in the world today because of Li Yuan, and the World Government has been suppressed and its reputation has been declining, there has been no pirate craze in the world.

The world is not in turmoil yet. Even though John and others plunder the world from time to time, it is still in a stable stage.

The real age of pirates can only be started with Roger and his family!

"Xia Qi, keep a close eye on the MADS research organization. If those scientists show signs of leaving or being kidnapped, tell me immediately. It would be best if you could place a few mirrors nearby so that I can get there at any time."

"Also, once they have determined the search area for Ward, send out the Rope Searcher to conduct a secret search, and then let me know so we can get involved."

Li Yuan said.

There are many scientists in MADS, especially Vega Punk, the user of the Brain Fruit. Li Yuan doesn't know whether Vega Punk has developed the cross-era technology such as the Life Design Diagram.

But now he has no plan to snatch all the scientists from MADS, at least not before Bergapunk completes the life design.

Because he himself could not guarantee that he could make Bergapunk work for him, the worst plan was that after he robbed Bergapunk, Bergapunk refused to submit to him. Then at least he had a way to get the life design drawings from Bergapunk.

If we were to rob the scientists in the MADS laboratory now, the worst possible outcome would be that we wouldn't even be able to get the complete blueprint of life.

Li Yuan had some guesses about what Ward wanted to find, but he was not sure yet. He needed to confirm it himself.

"No problem, don't worry about what I do, husband!"

Xia Qi hugged Li Yuan's head and laughed.

Naval Headquarters:

"Damn it, Ward, this guy is obviously looking for the Exploding Rock. How did he know that our navy controls the Exploding Rock?"

After receiving the information from the intelligence department, Kong Gu Kong said with gritted teeth.

Explosive rock is a powerful explosive material hidden in the deep sea discovered by the Navy's scientific research department. Its power is dozens of times stronger than gunpowder, and can even be comparable to ancient weapons to a certain extent.

However, the explosive rock is very unstable and will explode once it comes into contact with the air, so the Navy Scientific Research Department also spent a lot of money.

The technology for mining explosive rocks from the deep sea was just developed, but only a few years into the mining, the Ward family found a clue.

The most crucial thing is that the Navy has finally established a mining base in Colbert with huge investment. Once it is discovered by Ward, all the Navy's previous investments will be wasted!

"Notify Sengoku who is guarding the New World and have him send people to eliminate the people that Ward sent to find the location of the explosive rock. We must not let them find the location of Colbert Island."

"Also, notify the navy on Colbert Island and immediately arrange for personnel to move the explosive rock away."

Gang Gukong said after thinking for a while.

At this point, it is no longer possible to conceal the truth. The only option is to move the explosive rock away, even if the losses are huge.

Once Ward gets the explosive rock, combined with the amplified power of his Momo Fruit, that guy would be equivalent to mastering a weapon comparable to ancient weapons. Add in the fact that the opponent is a pirate, and Gang Gu Kong's scalp tingles at the thought.

Colbert Island:

"Hahahahaha, I finally found this place!"

Ward looked at the navy stationed on the island and laughed.

Neither Kong Gunbone nor Sengoku had expected that the reason why Ward stayed far away to look for the pirates who were still searching was to confuse the navy's vision and make the navy think that Ward had not really found Colbert Island.

Who would have thought that when Sengoku sent people to deal with those pirates, Walder had already arrived on Colbert.

"Quick, quick, take all the stuff away!"

At the naval base on Colbert Island, Vice Admiral Melvin Wells, who was stationed there, commanded his men to take away all the instruments, equipment, explosive rocks, data, etc.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!"

However, what he didn't realize was that in the place where the explosive rocks were stored, invisible bullets were silently reaping the lives of these marines.

"ah!!!"

"Help!!"

"Enemy attack!!"

"."

When the marines saw their comrades fall, they immediately became alert and even called out to their comrades outside to attract attention.

But their screams, shouts, and sounds of gunfire were all muffled by an invisible force, and did not radiate at all.

These marines didn't even see how their comrades died. They had no idea who the enemy was or where the enemy was. In less than ten seconds, they all turned into corpses and lay on the ground.

After reaping the lives of all the navy here, Nepal came out of his invisible state. With him appeared Li Yuan and some people who were personally selected by Li Yuan and were completely loyal to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan called these people Dark Guards. It took five years for the Dark Guards to grow to 5,000 people. Now he has 500 Dark Guards.

"Good job, Nepal!"

Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but praise.

Nepal's hiding fruit is really useful. Not only can it hide his own body, but it can also help others hide their bodies. He brought so many people here without anyone noticing.

In addition to being able to hide his body shape, voice, breathing, and even the slight airflow generated when walking, it can be hidden. It is simply a perfect god-level assassination skill!

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Captain."

When Nepal heard what Li Yuan said, he couldn't help but laugh.

Then he looked around. There were things made of tempered glass and filled with red liquid. The marines just wanted to move these things away, and they were also their target this time.

"Okay, Nepal, you go out and watch, and the rest of you quickly move these explosive rocks away for me."

"Everyone, be careful. We must not let the explosive rock leak out. Otherwise, if an explosion occurs, everyone here will die!"

Li Yuan said seriously that although he had already told them once before coming, he still felt it necessary to emphasize it again.

"Yes, Captain!"

After saying that, the secret guards began to take out scrolls one by one and opened them. Then they carefully took out the explosive rocks and put them into the scroll space.

These space scrolls were made by the users with the ability of the scroll fruit cultivated by Xia Qi before. They contain stable space inside and can be used as storage equipment.

Although it is not permanent, it can ensure storage for three months. If the things inside are not taken out after three months, the space inside the storage scroll will collapse and all the things inside will be destroyed.

It can be said that since these space scrolls were manufactured, the Infinite Pirate Group has saved a lot of manpower and resources in transportation. They are very useful things.

"Buzz buzz buzz!!!"

However, just as they took out the explosive rock, a sharp alarm sounded throughout the naval base. Beams of red light shone into the sky, and the entire island could see that an accident had occurred.

"These navy are so vigilant that they could even discover this!"

"Don't worry about it, just keep pretending. Nepal, you come back here and watch over them, I'll go outside!"

Hearing the alarm, Li Yuan's face darkened. It must be a problem of their illegal operation that triggered the alarm. These navy are really vigilant!

"Oh no! Storage Room No. 1 is alerting us. There is an enemy invasion!"

Lieutenant General Melvin Wells saw this and immediately led his men to Storage Room No. 1. He had not expected that someone would invade shortly after he received the news from headquarters. The news from headquarters was too late!

"How could it be Li Yuan, the world's greatest swordsman!"

However, as soon as Lieutenant General Melvin Wells arrived nearby, he saw a man blocking their way.

When he saw clearly who was blocking the way, his soul suddenly began to break out in a cold sweat. He was too familiar with this man, so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar!

"I own this place, so you marines should not disturb me while I'm moving things."

Li Yuan's eyes turned cold, and the domineering aura on his body suddenly submerged the thousands of marines in front of him like a tsunami, and the blood-red lightning poured down like thousands of thunders.

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

The heads of the marines above seemed to be struck by lightning. They all fainted and fell to the ground. Only the leading Lieutenant General Melvin Wells did not fall.

"Oh? I didn't expect there's a lieutenant general here? What a pity!"

After seeing that no one had fallen, Li Yuan carefully looked at the medals on his clothes.

But he just took a look and raised his hand to chop out a hundred-meter-long blow with the Seven Star Sword.

"Puff!!!"

Lieutenant General Melvin Wells wanted to block it, but the blow was as fast as lightning. His observation Haki detected it, but his body could not react.

The blow passed through his neck without any hindrance, and he lost consciousness in an instant, turning into a headless corpse lying on the ground.

"Hmm? Conqueror's Haki? That's Li Yuan!"

When Ward, who had just led his men onto the island, noticed the changes on the island, he immediately sensed Li Yuan's domineering aura.

They are all great pirates of the New World. The Conqueror's Haki of each pirate is full of personal will. Even without meeting each other, these great pirates can judge who is the other through the Conqueror's Haki.

"Why is this guy Li Yuan here? No, we can't let him eat alone!"

"I'll go first, you guys hurry up and follow me!"

Ward greeted the pirates behind him and immediately rushed over.

"Oh? Ward, I didn't expect you to find this place!"

Li Yuan was not surprised when he saw Ward appear in front of him, after all, he had known it for a long time.
