Attack on the Holy Land
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past ten years, Moke not only unified the entire One Piece world, but also found two legendary items.
One is Dyna Stone.
It is an explosive with absolutely destructive power, said to be comparable to the Ancient Weapons and capable of destroying the world. It has always been strictly guarded by the Navy, but in the original work, it was obtained by former Admiral Zephyr, who defected from the Navy, after he captured the base.
The Dyna Stone was Zephyr's main tool for destroying the New World. He had already destroyed two End Points with it and was only one step away from success when Luffy stopped him.
The very existence of this thing is a threat.
Therefore, Moke had no reason to let him keep them any longer. After finding them, he used his spatial abilities to store them in another dimension.
The second type is Pure Gold.
Pure Gold: capable of buying the world's wealth and possessing the ability to use the world indefinitely, was invented by Olga's parents.
After the discovery of Pure Gold, it attracted the attention of a group of thieves, during which Olga's mother lost her life. Because of this, Olga deeply resented her father.
Pure Gold is something the Celestial Dragons all desire, and they are willing to take two measures to obtain Pure Gold. One is through the official naval channels; the other is through their vassal, Gild Tesoro, who then seeks out treasure hunters to seize it.
Pure Gold is essentially a mineral, but it has the power to buy the world.
However, the glitter of Pure Gold attracted Lantern, who had a great fondness for Pure Gold. As a result, Olga's island suffered a catastrophic disaster, with almost the entire island being swallowed by Lantern.
In fact, the greater purpose of Pure Gold is to slow down growth and extend lifespan. Olga suffered from a terminal illness from a young age and had little time left to live. Therefore, Olga's parents hoped to successfully create Pure Gold so that it could be used to prolong Olga's life. So, I think that compared to the wealth that could buy the entire world, the Celestial Dragons should value the function of extending lifespan more. This is a common trait among rulers throughout history—to gain more lifespan, or even immortality.
Lantern is a giant lanternfish that loves to collect Pure Gold. He digests the Pure Gold he collects and puts it into his lantern.
Therefore, Moke directly took this so-called Lantern as the person he was looking for.
After unifying the entire world, the Fish-Men also came under his rule. With their help, finding this guy wouldn't be difficult.
After obtaining the Pure Gold, he absorbed it using his abilities and became an immortal being.
Supreme, immortal, and enjoying endless riches and glory.
Beautiful women came and went, a different one every day, a different one every month. Before, this was his pursuit, but after achieving it all, Moke lost all motivation...
He needs a new goal.
New pursuits.
Otherwise, what's the point of his immortality?
So he fixed his gaze on the sky. He stared blankly at the moon, lost in thought.
He knew it was time to leave.
Although Enel exited the story early in the original work, he was incredibly popular. He was invincible in the early stages before the Haki system was fully developed, and he mastered Observation Haki ahead of time, even combining it with his Observation Haki Devil Fruit Ability to cover the entire Sky Island.
If he hadn't encountered Luffy, the pirate who just happened to be his match, and been defeated by Luffy's "Gum-Gum Golden Revolver," he would probably be making a name for himself in the Blue Sea by now.
