Joy Boy? Thriller Bark
Kalifa reported what had just happened to her superiors.
Spandam, the CP9 chief on Enies Lobby, was trembling with fear, but he didn't dare hesitate and immediately contacted CP0 by phone.
And so, after being reported up the chain of command, the events that had occurred in Water Seven finally reached the desks of the Five Elders.
"So, that Black Wolf guy has even gotten his hands on the blueprints for Pluton?" The veins on the forehead of the bald, mustachioed Five Elders were throbbing.
"This is really not good news."
The Five Elders, dressed in white robes, wearing glasses, and carrying a long sword, also sighed.
This is certainly not good news.
Those are Pluton's design blueprints.
A legendary Ancient Weapon, possessing the immense power to sink an entire island with a single shot.
The last pirate to be associated with Ancient Weapon was Roger!
Now that the blueprints for Pluton have fallen into the hands of the Pirate Emperor Black Wolf's crew, this is undoubtedly the worst news imaginable for the World Government.
"How exactly did Black Wolf know that Mr. Iceburg might have the blueprints for Pluton?"
The bearded Five Elders, wearing a hat, asked with some surprise, "If I remember correctly, this matter is a top secret even within our government."
"CP9 reported that Black Wolf and White Wolf came to inquire about the Tom."
The blond-haired Five Elders said, "Then the CP9 agents thought this was a good opportunity to find the blueprints."
"So you just offered yourself up?"
The bald, mustachioed Five Elders angrily smashed the coffee table in front of them with a punch. "What kind of idiots are the CP9?! Send that moron Spandam back to Impel Down! And don't let his idiotic father get away with it either!"
No one objected; such a serious incident had occurred, and someone should step forward and take responsibility.
"The key to the problem now lies with Black Wolf."
The Five Elders, with their long beards, said worriedly,
"Don't forget about his Warship Black! Who can imagine what will happen when that thing encounters Pluton's blueprints!"
The other four members of the Five Elders simultaneously turned serious.
The Warship Black is an artificial intelligence with extraordinary learning abilities.
Who knows, he might actually be able to create Pluton!
"Asshole!"
The bald Five Elders roared, "Could that guy really be Joy Boy from this era?! He's involved in every troublesome thing!"
Joy Boy.
When the name was mentioned, the Five Elders fell silent.
This is a name that the Celestial Dragon absolutely never want to hear again.
"No, that's just a legend,"
The bearded Five Elders shook his head and said, "Besides, he didn't get the fruit, so he can't sound the Drum of Liberation."
The Five Elders' expressions softened slightly.
Yes, what's the point of being a JOY BOY if you don't possess the ability to make everyone smile?
"Anyway, nothing else matters, let's figure out how to deal with this group first."
The Five Elders suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu; hadn't they said this many times before?
The Sirius Pirates left the Water Lands under cover of night.
Staying here will only cause trouble for Mr. Iceburg.
"So, the government's level of wariness towards us has now increased to an even higher level, hasn't it?"
Inside the cabin, Luo smiled and said.
"It doesn't matter,"
Jack casually remarked, "They've never let their guard down against us."
"After all, the government won't relax its targeting of us just because this didn't happen, nor can it take stronger action against us because of this," Maria said with a smile.
That makes sense.
Whether or not they obtained the Pluton Blueprints is actually irrelevant. Unless Imu-sama personally intervenes, what more formidable force could the government possibly muster?
Therefore, Sirius was not worried at all that the news of him obtaining the Pluton Blueprints would be exposed to the government.
He only cares about one thing now.
"How are you, Black?" he asked. "Are you confident?"
Black was looking through the blueprints for Pluton.
Just as the Five Elders had feared, now that Sirius had obtained Pluton's blueprints, he naturally handed them over to Black.
Although there's already a Pluton waiting for him to excavate, wouldn't it be more fulfilling to build one himself?
"Amazing!"
Black didn't hold back his amazement, "That's truly amazing! This technology completely surpasses my current level of knowledge."
"The artisans of ancient times were truly amazing!"
"So?" Sirius an eyebrow.
"I've learned a lot from the weapon systems, and that's enough to significantly improve the Sirius's firepower," Black replied.
"Just progress?" Jack frowned. "Legend has it that Pluton can sink an island with a single shot."
This should be described as a leap forward.
"Because the Energy System is even more important."
Black said, "That's the really amazing thing. Pluton's power plant is practically a perpetual motion machine!"
"A perpetual motion machine?" Sirius was taken aback. What kind of black technology was this?
"Overwhelming output and virtually endless endurance are the keys to ensuring Pluton's firepower," Black said.
"Unfortunately, the key materials for the power furnace seem to be very rare; at least I haven't heard of them on the high seas."
"I see."
Sirius nodded. "That's alright. Once we dig up Pluton, we'll have the materials, won't we?"
"Power reactors are dangerous; I can only say I don't know if we can even try it." Black also somewhat unsure.
However, at least the weapon system can be improved again.
That should be enough for now.
The Sirius Pirates' journey continues.
After leaving Water Seven, they continued to traverse the seven routes, slowly approaching the Sabaody Archipelago.
The final period of the year 1515 in the Sea Calendar has passed.
The current time is 1516 in the Sea Calendar, four years before Straw Hat Kid set sail.
The New World has become completely bustling.
"Shanks has had another fierce fight with the Charlotte Family."
Sirius flipped through the newspaper, "Shiki- senpai has also clashed with the Beasts Pirates several times, it seems the final battle is not far off."
After assessing my own pace, it seems I can keep up?
"Kindness?"
Sirius suddenly noticed a news article with a picture of two men with their arms around each other, two huge men. "They've already returned to Elbaf?"
The news headline was: <The Giant Soldier Pirates, resurrected in all their glory!>
Dorry and Brogy have returned to Elbaf, the Elbaf, and rebuilt the Giant Soldier Pirates.
Looks like I'll have someone to treat me to a meal when I visit the Giant Kingdom in the future.
"Sirius! What's that ahead?!" Yamato's voice suddenly rang out.
Sirius stood up and looked ahead.
In the distance, a thick fog blanketed the sea, almost completely covering the entire ocean.
"It's the Thriller Bark."
Black explained, "This place is shrouded in fog year-round, and the currents are very turbulent. Every year, a large number of ships disappear here. Reaching this point means you're already close to the Sabaody Archipelago."
"The Thriller Bark?"
Yamato blinked. "This sounds interesting."
Sirius curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Yes.
That's very interesting.
