Pure Gold in Hand! Olga and Her Father!

Ian took two steps forward, placing his foot on a rock on the edge of the towering cliff, and looked down at the enormous lanternfish below.

It's really huge. It's just floating on the sea, with only a small part of its body above the water. But even that part exposed above the water is already much taller than the high wall on the edge of Wano Country.

My gaze was involuntarily drawn to the lantern on the lanternfish's head, which emitted a soft yet brilliant golden light.

The Pure Gold is inside.

If you get your hands on that thing, I can't say for sure, but living for tens of thousands of years should be a piece of cake.

After all, Olga in the special episode had a terminal illness and wouldn't live much longer, but thanks to the effects of Pure Gold, she has been living a carefree life since two hundred years ago.

The effect of Pure Gold on slowing down time is truly astonishing.

This extravagant amount of Pure Gold was even created by a scientist himself.

In this world, anything is possible.

"Hold head high!"

Summoned by the king of the Sea King, the giant lanternfish was inevitably restless while waiting.

The main problem was that the king had only told it to come and wait, but hadn't given it any other commands, which left the lanternfish somewhat bewildered.

It doesn't like the surface of the sea and spends most of its time diving in the deep sea.

After all, only in the dark, lightless depths of the sea will the Pure Gold it painstakingly collected shine even brighter.

This behemoth was so enormous that it was even larger than the 5,000-meter-class Sea King that Shirahoshi summoned in the original work.

So, its mere roar brought a gust of wind that whipped Ian's clothes wildly.

"Quiet."

Ian's eyes narrowed slightly, and in that instant, his domineering aura exploded!

The unleashed Conqueror's Haki even transformed into tangible black and red Inazuma, instantly traversing a vast distance and striking the Giant Lanternfish directly.

The giant lanternfish suddenly began to tremble violently, as if it had been electrocuted.

Then, in the next moment, this enormous and astonishing monster rolled its eyes back and fainted. Its massive body floated quietly on the sea surface, gently swaying in the waves.

"Wow, amazing Conqueror's Haki!"

Luo spoke with some lack of interest, "Do I need to give you such a compliment?"

Given this guy's abilities, it's only natural that he could do something like this.

Ian couldn't have called him over just to show off his Conqueror's Haki, could he?

"Come with me."

Ian stomped on the air and launched himself forward.

Even when walking in the air, his speed is still terrifying. Let alone ordinary people, even battle-hardened sea warriors would probably not be able to catch a glimpse of him with the naked eye.

"Wait for me, Ian!"

Yamato was also launched.

Luo pursed his lips and quickly followed.

Soon, Ian floated lightly down onto the lanternfish's head.

He tilted his head back, and a huge lantern floated diagonally above him, its soft golden light flowing down and enveloping him.

It's right here.

The Pure Gold that lanternfish have swallowed over countless years has been melted by stomach acid and then all of it has accumulated inside this lantern.

"It's huge!"

Yamato and Luo landed beside him one after the other. Yamato jumped up and down on the fish's head in surprise, "It's just like an island!"

"What's this?"

Luo, however, keenly noticed something crucial. He looked up, staring in astonishment at the enormous lantern. "Are all lanternfish lanterns like this?"

This light seems rather unusual.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is...

"Inside,"

Luo squinted. "It looks like there's something there?"

Under the bright sunlight, one could vaguely see something enormous glowing inside the not-so-transparent lantern.

"That's the one,"

Ian laughed and said, "Use the power of the Op-Op Fruit on it, Law, bring that thing out."

"They really know how to order people around."

Luo complained softly.

But he didn't hesitate. He immediately flipped his left hand, and an invisible vortex appeared in his palm. "Room!"

The translucent sphere expanded instantly, covering the entire head of the lanternfish and enveloping the enormous lantern within it.

You should know that for a fish of this size to enclose the lantern, the diameter of the spherical space would exceed one kilometer, but Luo still looked completely unfazed.

This clearly shows that he has indeed become much stronger in the past six years.

"So,"

Luo raised his right hand and snapped his fingers lightly. "Come on."

Smack

This is the soft snap of fingers.

Boom!

The next instant, a huge object gently slammed down on the fish's head.

"Hmm!"

Yamato instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes, and the three of them were instantly enveloped in an intense golden light.

What is this?

Luo stared in disbelief, "Jinshan?"

What he pulled out of the lanternfish's enormous lantern was actually a massive golden mountain tens of meters high!

Moreover, it didn't seem to be ordinary gold, because this mountain of gold was still radiating a brilliant light, just like the rising sun, illuminating countless mountains and rivers.

"Gold! It's all gold!"

After Yamato adjusted to the light, he couldn't help but excitedly hug Ian's arm, exclaiming, "Ian, we're rich!"

"Get rich?"

Luo snapped out of his reverie and couldn't help but smile. "Is it just this mountain of gold?"

This mountain of gold is certainly visually striking, but can you really say it made Ian rich?

Even when Ian was just a kid, his wealth far exceeded this mountain of gold.

Not to mention, Ian is now the emperor who rules the entire New World, and even with the World Government's layers of blockades, the Beasts Pirates ' business has still spread Four Blues.

His wealth is truly astronomical.

"They really did make a fortune."

Ian smiled as he looked up at the mountain of gold. "Lo, you still don't know the value of this mountain of gold."

Thankfully, the lanternfish is already unconscious, otherwise it would definitely go berserk.

This Pure Gold was accumulated bit by bit over countless years.

But now Ian has wiped them all out.

Taking advantage of the victim's unconscious state to steal their treasures—isn't that a form of NTR (Netorare)?

"Oh?"

Luo raised an eyebrow.

"If you knew the true value of this gold, you would understand that even a single grain of gold the size of a grain of rice from this mountain of gold would be worth enough to buy an entire country."

Ian said seriously.

"Ha?"

Luo's smile froze.

Are grains the size of rice enough to buy an entire country?

How many bowls of rice could that mountain of gold, tens of meters high, hold?

"So, according to you, this mountain of gold is enough to buy the whole world?" Luo couldn't help but say sarcastically, "In that case, we really have struck it rich."

"That's exactly right!"

Ian reached out and stroked the mountain of gold, his smile widening. "In the eyes of ordinary people, its value should far surpass that of the Great Treasure, right?"

"So, Ian,"

Yamato tugged at Ian's sleeve, and the little girl asked expectantly, "What is it used for?"

Ian raised his right hand, letting the brilliant golden light illuminate it, making it appear as if it were truly cast in gold.

"Did you feel the golden light?"

Is there anything special about it?

Luo also raised his hand and grasped at it, as if trying to hold onto the golden light.

However, he didn't sense anything unusual about it.

"This metal is called Pure Gold, and its sole purpose is to emit a golden luster."

Ian smiled and said, "What's remarkable about it is that all creatures illuminated by this golden light will experience a reduction in their growth, or rather, their aging rate, to the point of almost stopping."

"Huh?"

Yamato paused, tilted his head, and said, "Stagnation?"

"That means?"

Luo unconsciously swallowed; he had never felt his throat so dry before.

"If you wear Pure Gold jewelry all the time without taking it off,"

Ian chuckled and said, "Living for tens of thousands of years should be a piece of cake, right? Perhaps I've underestimated it. Oh, of course, that is, assuming I'm not killed before I die of old age."

"Really? Such a thing exists?"

Luo's mouth was still dry; she felt like she had no saliva left.

He just stared blankly at the mountain of gold before him.

"No way? The immortality that people pursue is so easily obtained by us?"

"It's that simple."

Ian smiled and said, "After all, this is a beautiful world where no matter what miracles happen, it doesn't surprise anyone."

"That is to say,"

Yamato finally came to her senses, and she happily hugged Ian's arm, "Will we be able to stay together for tens of thousands of years to come?"

Ian cautioned, "It's at least tens of thousands of years."

"Yay!!"

The girl cheered.

"Etc,"

Luo suddenly remembered something, "Ian, you just said that a grain of Pure Gold the size of a grain of rice could buy a country? So, all you need is that volume?"

"Perhaps it could be even smaller?"

Ian recalled for a moment.

The Pure Gold bead set in the little girl's ring in the special episode was definitely not the size of a grain of rice.

"Didn't I say? It's enough to be bathed in Pure Gold light, not to be completely bathed in it."

Ian smiled and said, "It's enough that only parts of the body can be photographed."

"Hiss!"

Luo gasped, "If that's the case, then that's way too outrageous!"

He looked at the mountain of gold before him and wondered, "How many people could live forever with such a massive mountain of gold?"

Is that enough to give every single person in the world a piece of Pure Gold?

"Ian! We must hide this!"

Rome said seriously, "Otherwise, the whole world would be in chaos!"

It's a good thing that things exist, but it's not a good thing if too many people live forever.

Not to mention the potential disputes that might arise because of Pure Gold.

Just thinking about it is terrifying!

"Don't rush."

Ian laughed and said, "This isn't all."

"Not all of it?"

Luo felt like he was going to go numb.

Shouldn't something so extraordinary be cherished?

It feels like doing wholesale at a market, with more than you can use.

It suddenly gives off a cheap feeling.

Ian stamped his foot. "There's a father and daughter inside that lanternfish. Get them out."

"Inside the belly of this Sea King?"

Luo was taken aback. "How did you know it was a father and daughter?"

Ian's Haki is terrifyingly strong; his mastery of Observation Haki is probably close to being the best in the world, if not the best.

But he probably isn't very good at identifying an individual's gender either, right?

"They are the beneficiaries of the effects of Pure Gold, ancient people who have lived from two hundred years ago to the present day,"

Ian said, "Furthermore, the father of the two women possesses the technology to extract Pure Gold."

"Hiss!"

Luo gasped again.

Doesn't this mean they can obtain an inexhaustible Pure Gold?

but.

What's the use?

There's so much Pure Gold here that we can't possibly use it all up!

It's true, these are clearly very precious and remarkable things, but why do they seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper these days?

That works too.

Having many skills is never a bad thing.

Luo gently clenched his fist, retracting the room he had originally set up. Then, the vortex reappeared in his palm.

"ROOM!"

With a low shout from Luo, an unprecedentedly huge ROOM space unfolded, completely enveloping most of the Giant Lanternfish's body!

In terms of length alone, this far exceeds five kilometers!

Even so, Luo didn't seem burdened at all, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor.

Ian nodded to himself as he read.

Luo hasn't stopped exercising all these years.

The Op-Op Fruit were now at his disposal.

After all, he has already mastered the Awakening, and his strength is probably no less than when he was defeated by Blackbeard in the original work, or even stronger!

It's absolutely close to the level of Admiral!

"Where are they?"

Luo asked.

While his Observation Haki was enough to cover the entire lanternfish, it lacked the precision of Ian's.

Ian immediately pointed him in two directions.

"Scanning!"

The two general directions pointed out by Ian were certainly not enough to determine the exact location, so Law activated his ability again and began scanning everything along the way.

"Found it!"

Luo chuckled, "Come here!"

When the flashy power of the Op-Op Fruit was activated, two wisps of air vanished from Law's view, and two figures instantly appeared in front of the three of them.

"Huh?" X2

One of the two was a little girl holding a rather strange-looking lizard. She was wearing a black dress, had blonde hair, and looked to be about six or seven years old.

The other was a middle-aged, overweight man dressed in a strange dinosaur costume, with bulging cheeks and a protruding belly.

Both of them looked up at Luo in bewilderment, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Hey! Where am I?"

The little girl suddenly screamed.

Then, upon hearing the little girl's voice, the middle-aged man trembled and turned his head in disbelief.

Upon seeing the screaming little girl, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

Without hesitation, the middle-aged man leaped forward and caught the unsuspecting little girl in his arms.

"Olga! My Olga! I'm so glad you're safe and sound!"
