Chapter 425: Controlled nuclear fusion in another world?
This was a barren island called Iron Crow Island, located midway between Wano Country and Lulusia Island. Its geographical advantages had led to its selection as a scientific experimental base for the Marines.
The main project there was to restore Pluton and explore the possibility of mass-producing it.
Such a massive undertaking was naturally extremely troublesome and complex, requiring a great deal of time. But if it succeeded, the Marines would possess a powerful means of securing victory.
Thus, the Marines had committed vast amounts of manpower and resources to the project.

In Xia Le's estimation, once restored, Pluton would occupy a position much like nuclear bombs in his previous life, with immense value both in actual combat and as a deterrent.
Having no sword and having a sword but choosing not to use it were two different things.

"The legendary ancient weapon, Pluton!!"
"It's hard to imagine that such a terrifying weapon
