While Noah and Robin were discussing the internal affairs of the Liberator Organization.

Vic and his crew, who were modifying and strengthening the ley lines on the seabed of the New World, were resting in a trench near the territory controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Inside the temporary underwater lounge that Vic created using his abilities, everyone took out various delicious foods that had been prepared in advance from their cards.

Although they are very busy with work, it doesn't stop them from enjoying life.

Vic took a sip of milk tea, then picked up a large piece of pan-fried gem meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lilian was using flames to grill the meat of a sea monster she had just hunted from the nearby sea.

Although Pica and Gairam are Apostle, they can still eat and enjoy the deliciousness of food.

Suddenly, Vic stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lilian turned to look at Vic.

But Vic put down his food, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face, "Hahaha... Today is our lucky day."

"Stop keeping me in suspense! Vic, tell me what good news it is!" Lilian was a little impatient.

"Wait a minute, let me subdue that guy first."

After speaking, Vic quickly manipulated the surrounding seabed rocks.

In the trench, a very large lanternfish was slowly passing above Vic and his companions.

The next moment, countless rocks and trees emerged from the seabed, and the lanternfish, unable to react in time, were instantly enveloped by the rocky forest.

Before the lanternfish could even fight back, the rocky forest grew rapidly, trapping the lanternfish inside.

The lanternfish, realizing it was trapped, tried to fight back, but no matter how hard it tried, it was to no avail.

As time went by, in less than ten minutes, the lanternfish was trapped by rock layers several kilometers thick.

Vic led Lilian and the others through the rocky passage to the front of the lanternfish.

Lilian had just stepped out of the rocky passage when she was blinded by a dazzling golden light. "What is that? It's so bright!"

"This is the legendary Pure Gold," Vic said, as he pierced the lanternfish's lantern with a hard diamond drill bit.

Soon a large amount of gold-containing fragments were drilled out of the hole.

Lilian picked up a large handful of fragments. "Is this Pure Gold? It doesn't seem special at all."

Gairam, standing nearby, explained, " Lilian, this is just ordinary gold; the real Pure Gold is only a small portion."

The lantern fish's lantern section is enormous, containing at least several hundred tons of gold, though it's impossible for it to be entirely Pure Gold.

After all, when that doctor first created Pure Gold, he wasn't a super-rich man and didn't have the resources to produce Pure Gold.

Soon, several very bright fragments appeared in front of them.

Lilian quickly picked out the few fragments, feeling that this was Pure Gold: "This must be Pure Gold, right?"

Gairam nodded. "Yes, this extremely bright metal is Pure Gold, a secret treasure that can grant immortality."

"Can it really grant immortality?" Lilian curiously, holding the few fragments containing Pure Gold.

Pica had just entered the lanternfish's body, emerged from under a fish scale with two humans.

Lilian looked surprised. " Pica, where did these two come from?"

Although Pica knew about Olga and her father's situation from Noah's memories, he couldn't tell Lilian directly, so he gave a vague explanation:

"It was found inside this lanternfish. These two seem to have lived inside the lanternfish for a long time. They must have some special relationship with Pure Gold, otherwise they wouldn't have lived for so long."

"Have you really lived for a long time?" Lilian looked at Olga, who was in the form of a little girl, but Olga remained silent.

Pica shook her head. "Don't waste your energy. They've lived inside the lanternfish for too long and haven't spoken to anyone for so long that they've lost their ability to speak."

"Not speaking for so long has turned him into a mute? How terrifying!" Lilian exclaimed in surprise.

Through a combination of gestures and drawings, and thanks to the fact that scientist Acier had not completely lost his language abilities, the two sides managed to complete a preliminary communication.

More than two hours later.

After finishing his other tasks, Noah brought Robin here through the Garganta.

Through continuous communication, the scientist Acier also regained some of his language communication abilities.

"Is this Pure Gold?" Robin looked at the large pile of crystal bottles in front of him, which resembled miniature the Sun.

These crystal bottles were made by Vic to hold Pure Gold dust. There are more than 300 bottles in total, and it is estimated that they contain about 80 kilograms of Pure Gold.

According to Dr. Acier's description, this weight is consistent with the weight of the Pure Gold he originally created.

Picking up a bottle of Pure Gold dust, Noah used his Observation Haki, combined with electromagnetic waves and magnetic fields, to sense his own body.

He soon discovered the secret that Pure Gold could grant immortality. The special light emitted by Pure Gold, when it shines on living organisms, causes some of the purine substances in the blood to transform into a special component. This component then circulates through the blood and enters the cells throughout the body.

This special component can continuously repair telomeres of chromosomes, maintaining their length and preventing mutations.

" Pure Gold rays and telomere stabilizers, is that the reason for immortality?" Noah gazed thoughtfully at the dazzling Pure Gold.

He then focused his attention on observing the molecular structure of Pure Gold.

Pure Gold is not a natural element, but a synthetic compound composed of 7 gold atoms, 13 oxygen atoms, 5 palladium atoms, 5 fluorine atoms, 114 carbon atoms, and 59 hydrogen atoms.

Its core consists of gold and palladium atoms.

When gold atoms sense the magnetic field lines of an external magnetic field, they generate a weak magnetic field and a microcurrent, which in turn excites palladium atoms to undergo nuclear decay.

After nuclear decay, palladium atoms release a special type of Beta ray. This Beta ray then undergoes a second transformation through the special structure of fluorine and carbon atoms, turning into a special golden ray.

" Magnetic Field Rotation - Atomic Recombination!"

Noah placed one hand on the ground, extracted the necessary raw materials from the earth, and then gathered these materials in his palm.

Although he didn't know Dr. Acier's synthesis method, this world wasn't a purely scientific world, but a semi-mystical world with Devil Fruit.

A magnetic field forcibly fixes the atoms, ensuring that each Pure Gold molecule has all the necessary elements in the correct quantity and structure, firmly installed in specific positions, and then strips away some of the outer electrons of the atoms.

Through this powerful, brick-flying method, a freshly formed Pure Gold molecule is created.

Before long, Noah had conjured up hundreds of kilograms of Pure Gold with his bare hands.

Dr. Acier, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

"Indeed, knowledge is power," Robin remarked with a smile.

Noah stopped creating Pure Gold, casually condensing a large amount of iron sand to envelop the intensely glowing Pure Gold, leaving only a small portion for illumination. "Magnetic fields are the true scientific power."

Seeing Noah's words, Robin raised an eyebrow. "It seems you've already grasped the secret of Pure Gold and immortality."

Noah shook his head. "This thing is essentially a special light emitter. The special light can make the body produce a telomere stabilizer. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Once the telomeres are solidified, it means that the cells will not die, which will prevent the body from growing and becoming stronger."
