Treasure Hunting

"Ho ho, this is great! I've been farming on the estate the whole time and I was bored to death. I've been wanting to go out for ages. I really don't know how you manage to enjoy farming so much, Boss," Allison said with a laugh.

"Mm-hm, me too, Boss! Let's all go take a spin together!" Liana nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, echoing Allison's words.

"Hahaha, then let's go treasure hunting today! I still have a treasure map that Ochoku gave me earlier, and the location of the treasure is in the waters around Oran Island."

Lind smiled as he spoke to the two of them, while inwardly thinking that making these adventure-loving pirates accompany him in farming really was a bit tough on them.

"When the time comes, I'll use telekinesis to carry you both and let you experience the feeling of Sword Flight."

"Liana, you just stand on the Wave-Slasher, and Allison, you can just use my Autumn."

Lind looked at the two delighted women and continued outlining today's arrangements.

On the azure ocean, the three of them rode their flying swords and traveled side by side.

"Boss, I completely understand why you like Sword Flight now! This feeling really is wonderful."

Allison felt the sea breeze brushing against her cheeks and the vast, azure ocean beneath her feet, and spoke to Lind with excitement.

Because Lind kept his telekinesis blocking in front of them to weaken the sea breeze generated during high-speed travel, the group did not feel strong wind resistance, but instead felt a sensation like a gentle breeze brushing their faces.

Matched with the sea below, the white clouds overhead, and the occasional startled seabirds, it was thoroughly intoxicating.

Lind felt the same way, especially with two beauties accompanying him by his side; his previously gloomy mood improved quite a bit.

Hearing Allison's words, Lind laughed happily.

"Hahaha, right? Then we can come out for a spin more often when we're free in the future! If we run into patrolling Marines, capturing a Marine general and dragging him back wouldn't be bad either!"

As Lind spoke, he considered when to tell them about the Divine Dragon Coconut and his Devil Fruit ability.

Although he was unsure what their telekinesis talent was like or how much telekinesis would boost their strength, just being able to use telekinesis for Sword Flight alone was quite good.

"Boss, is that island ahead the treasure location shown on the treasure map?"

Suddenly, Liana's voice rang out, interrupting Lind's train of thought.

Lind took out the treasure map, confirmed it, and said:

"That's right, it should be that island. I wonder what kind of treasure is on it."

"Come to think of it, Ochoku came here last time, but he couldn't find the entrance to the treasure, which is why he gave this treasure map to me to see if my telekinesis can discover anything."

Lind's tone held a hint of excitement. Having been in this world for so long and being a pirate for quite a while, this was the first time he had come out to hunt for treasure.

Before even reaching the island, Lind impatiently spread his telekinesis across it, searching for the entrance to the treasure.

"This treasure is hidden pretty deep. There isn't the slightest trace of a treasure room or even a tunnel from twenty meters below the surface."

Once on the island, Lind scanned the entire island with his telekinesis, yet found no trace of the treasure, and said helplessly:

"Let's check further down. It might be because of an earthquake or something that caused terrain changes, affecting the island."

As he spoke, Lind's telekinesis probed deeper underground.

Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters—all the way down to a seabed more than a thousand meters deep before Lind stopped releasing his telekinesis.

"It really was affected by terrain changes; the treasure is hidden deep enough. But there are actually two treasures-is this a buy-one-get-one-free deal?"

Muttering casually, Lind turned around and happily spoke to the two women beside him:

"Found the treasure! The location is hidden rather deeply, so wait for me to carve out a passage."

With that, he began digging a hole using his telekinesis and the Kunpeng Sword. Having the ability to fly, Lind did not need to dig that kind of sloping tunnel, nor did he need to worry about cave-ins.

He went straight for a plumb-line tunnel leading directly to the first treasure location, achieving remarkably high efficiency.

In less than half an hour, a passage over two meters in diameter had been carved out. While carving, Lind also conveniently finished the job of ventilation.

"Alright, let's go down!" Lind said to the two women waiting nearby.

Soon, the group arrived at a resplendent and magnificent treasure room.

"Just as I thought, it's just an ordinary treasure," Lind said, looking at the room piled with all kinds of gold and jewelry.

For Lind, who possessed quite a few Angel's Hearts, money truly was just a number; he could have as much as he wanted, so to speak.

Calculated at ten million Beli for a two-hundred-milliliter bottle of Angel's Heart, the wine barrels Lind made on the island held two hundred liters of wine per barrel, equivalent to ten billion Beli per barrel of Angel's Heart.

And Lind had a dozen barrels. In this era where Beli had not depreciated, if Lind released all that wine, provided the World Government did not print Beli in massive quantities,

he might single-handedly drive the pirate world's economy into deflation simply by absorbing a massive amount of Beli without circulating it back out.

Therefore, facing so much gold and silver jewelry, although the eyes of the two women beside him shone brightly, Lind's gaze remained completely calm, and he even felt a bit bored.

Even coming across a Famous Sword would be nice, Lind thought to himself.

"Boss, we've struck it rich! So many treasures!" Allison said happily to Lind while holding a pretty red ruby.

"Hahaha, you two see if there's anything you like. Just take whatever you want; these things are of no use to me."

As a qualified boss, Lind generally wouldn't ruin his subordinates' fun, letting the two women pick out whatever treasures they fancied.

Once Allison and Liana finished picking out their treasures, Lind continued:

"Let's leave the rest here for now. There's another treasure room below; let's go check that one out first. We can pick these things up on the way back."

By sheer coincidence, the other treasure room was directly beneath this one, which saved Lind quite a bit of effort.

Just like before, utilizing his telekinesis and the Kunpeng Sword, Lind quickly dug a tunnel and brought the two of them to the second treasure room.

Compared to the previous one, this room was much simpler, lacking any gorgeous decorations or various kinds of gold and jewelry.

It was simply an ordinary stone chamber with a treasure chest placed in the middle, and nothing else.

However, when Lind used a torch to illuminate the walls, he found that quite a few writings were carved upon them.

"It looks like I'm going to owe Ochoku a huge favor this time!" Lind said helplessly after finishing reading the contents on the walls.

The text on the walls recounted the exact treasure inside the chest of this room and its origin.

The general content was that the High Priest of the Flower Country, because of the invasion of the "Outer-Realm Barbarians", had fled carrying the treasures of the Flower Country to protect them.

In order for later generations to find the treasures, he had deliberately brought the treasures to the location recorded on the treasure map passed down by his ancestors.

Then, he used his own Devil Fruit ability to alter the terrain, deeply concealing the large and small treasure rooms underground to await those destined to find them.
