"Then leave it to me!"

Buckingham's eyes practically lit up.

Although we don't yet know what these materials are about, how can the legacy of Ohara not be moving?

But with so many books, how long would it take to take pictures even using Den Den Mushi)?

Naito realized this too, so he added, "This time, let's only print technology-related information."

This time?

Gaban smirked.

This bastard really thinks Elbaf is his home!

Naito's lips also curled into a smile.

I'll eat you all for the rest of my life for the fact that Treasure Tree Adam is afraid of fire.

Chapter 146 A Triumphant Return! Kaido Arrives Uninvited

"Oh! This is a document about Lineage Factor! Ancient scientists were really that amazing!"

Buckingham, his eyes gleaming, grabbed the Den Den Mushi and started snapping photos of the book in front of him.

Fortunately, the Fukurou's ability can be dispelled; otherwise, just flipping through such a large book would be a very troublesome task.

The elderly scientist was incredibly excited because she discovered that the documents here contained many techniques that had been lost at sea.

Even many of the technologies she knew were far less advanced than those described in these documents.

In other words,

Salt pretended to open a shrunken book, but after flipping through it a few times, he frowned. This level of information was indeed too much for his semi-literate self to handle.

"Are the technologies described in these books actually more advanced than the ocean as it is today?"

"No way?"

Anthony, who was strolling among the bookshelves with great interest, peeked out, looking utterly astonished. "Scientists these days aren't that incompetent, are they? Wasn't Vegapunk supposed to have technology that was five hundred years ahead of the world?!"

"You two idiots, shut up!"

Buckingham roared in annoyance.

She is a pirate, but even more so a scientist. She craves gold and silver treasures, but is equally fascinated by these ancient technologies.

These two idiots are being too noisy and are disturbing her excitement!

Salt and Anthony exchanged a glance, then silently fell silent.

It's best not to disturb Miss Bakkin at a time like this, since Lord Night King seems to really care about these ancient documents.

In fact, Buckingham wasn't the only one taking pictures of these books with Den Den Mushi; several of Naito's subordinates were also doing the same thing.

There are tens of thousands of books involved; how long would it take one person to film them all?

It just means there weren't enough Den Den Mushi); otherwise, Naito would have had to step in and act as the photographer himself.

Naito also opened a book with great interest.

However, it is a book about history, a history of a certain country in the last few years before the beginning of Void Century.

After a quick glance, I didn't find anything of value.

The only redeeming quality is that, based on the history recorded in this book, maritime technology was quite advanced more than 800 years ago.

According to the book, in that country more than 800 years ago, ordinary people could use all kinds of technological creations in their daily lives.

"So,"

Naito raised his voice slightly, "Gaban, what exactly did Joy Boy leave behind on the Laugh Tale? And what exactly is this Void Century all about?"

The library fell silent after these words were spoken.

Anthony, Salt, and the others immediately perked up their ears, and even the somewhat obsessed Buckingham couldn't help but look up.

Sitting on the second-floor railing, swinging his legs, Gaban pushed up his small sunglasses. "If you want to know, go see the Laugh Tale for yourself."

"I'm different from those who pursue the scenery along the way,"

Naito said, "I only care about the final result, so Gaban, don't worry about spoilers interfering with my journey, just tell me."

Even a seasoned veteran like Gaban couldn't help but twitch his lips at this moment.

This guy has a really thick skin.

Do you think I care about your feelings?

"Oh? Is that so?"

Naito nodded slightly, then said, "If I used your wife and son to blackmail you, would you say yes?"

"World!!"

Black Inazuma suddenly began to crackle around Gaban's body. "If you want to die, feel free to try!"

Not only him, but also the Giant Tribe warriors, including Jarul, who were also crammed into the library, gripped their weapons tightly.

Although taking action against this group would plunge the entire Elbaf into crisis, they absolutely cannot be allowed to run rampant; otherwise, Elbaf would truly be doomed.

"I see?"

Naito just smiled casually. "I was just kidding, don't take it to heart."

"But Gaban, it seems your wife really has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Gaban, who was seething with anger, instinctively turned around.

At the library entrance, Ripley stood with her head tilted back, her face pale. She seemed to have overheard World's words.

The woman's voice was quite grave, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

So later,

Outside the doors of the Owl Library.

What brings you here?

Gaban stood on his wife's shoulders, deliberately lowering his voice, "Where are the children?"

"We were originally going to take them to safety, but you just happened to arrive, so we had to let them hide in the school for now,"

Ripley asked anxiously, "But what's going on with you guys? That guy just threatened you with me and Colon, right?"

"Sigh, it's a long story."

Gaban could only briefly recount what had just happened.

"What?"

The enormous beauty Ripley, paled instantly. "So, Elbaf is still deeply mired in crisis?"

Gaban nodded bitterly. "If anything goes wrong, that Lunarian Tribe woman will turn the Treasure Tree Adam into a giant torch."

"..."

Ripley was pale.

This is really... not good.

"But there's no need to worry too much. At least for now, it seems that World doesn't intend to completely break off relations."

Gaban reassured his wife, "He's not so crazy as to be willing to fight Elbaf to the death at all costs."

"I'll take the children to the port of the Underworld right away,"

Ripley said, "If things really get out of hand, at least the children can't be hurt."

"Ripley— "

Gaban couldn't help but pause slightly, then smiled and nodded, "That's very good."

This is his wife.

However, Ripley clearly underestimated Naito; at least this time, he would indeed keep his promise.

It took two days for Buckingham and his team to photograph tens of thousands of ancient books related to science and technology. The Den Den Mushi they photographed were so bad that they almost lost their eyesight.

Then--

"Let's go, it's time to go hunting!"

Naito stretched and raised his voice.

The enormous white cloud quickly moved away from the giant village, heading towards the Underworld to hunt.

Naito plans to replace all the behemoths around him in one go.

Hajrudin's New Giant Warrior Pirates, along with Gaban, accompanied them to the Underworld, their purpose, of course, to keep an eye on Naito.

Naito didn't care; he figured, so be it.

Besides, Gaban can be of help.

Soon after, the Underworld, a land perpetually covered in ice and snow...

The earth was shaking, and snowflakes were flying.

The enormous white wolf, as large as a small mountain, crashed to the ground.

At the edge of the white clouds in the sky, Gaban withdrew his Conqueror's Haki with a sour face.

"Oh, that's a huge help, Gaban."

Naito expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"Hurry up, next one."

Gaban's voice was cold. "I've already sensed it; it's nearby."

The sooner we finish dealing with these guys, the sooner they'll get out of here.

"Don't rush,"

Naito smirked. "These behemoths are too big. The clouds are already quite crowded; it would be difficult to take dozens of these monsters away at once."

What do you mean?

Gaban frowned.

"It means,"

Naito raised the corners of his mouth and looked back. "Wapol, your turn."

To this day, Wapol is no longer a secret weapon worth hiding.

No one would risk becoming an enemy of the great pirate World for the sake of such a powerful user.

Soon enough, Wapol was placed on the ground, and he was much thinner than when he was first captured.

Looking at the enormous creature before him, he was so terrified that his tongue was trembling. "No, it can't be! It's huge!"
