The merchant ship carrying the Tianlong Chamber of Commerce gradually left Batelila Island and headed quickly to an unfamiliar sea area.

The sky was a vast expanse of blue, and the salty sea breeze was blowing on his cheeks. This rare good weather made Feis feel very comfortable, and he couldn't help but start chatting with several fishmen.

At first, Foster, the leader, thought that the big man must have a very arrogant temperament, but after chatting for a few words, he found that the other person was unexpectedly easy-going and even made a few jokes occasionally.

This made him gradually relax, and he began to talk about his experiences in the Sky Chamber of Commerce over the years.

He left the Fish-Man Island and came to the sea five years ago. He wanted to start a career with a few brothers. However, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was gloomy. As soon as they arrived at the Shampoo Islands, they were attacked by humans.

They resisted and even had to deport a few people.

In this sea, many humans still instinctively discriminate against murlocs, thinking that murlocs are monsters and aliens, and cannot be compared with humans.

Even the Navy, which is a symbol of justice, has never recruited fish-men soldiers.

Desperate, Foster and others were very frustrated. Life in the human world was completely different from what they expected. Some of the younger brothers even said that it would be better to just go to sea and become pirates.

However, this proposal was quickly rejected by Foster.

It is difficult for fishmen to survive in the human world. If they go out to sea and become thieves, it will be difficult. Moreover, the powerful people in this sea are like carp crossing the river. The strength of a few people is not very strong. If they encounter powerful pirates and navy,

At that time, they might be killed and sunk into the sea.

The younger brothers also think what the boss said makes sense. They have been wandering on the sea for several years and have gone around without looking like a human being.

However, a few years ago, they heard the news that the Sky Chamber of Commerce was recruiting fishmen. The frustrated Foster thought of giving it one last try. If it failed this time, he would just go back to the fishman island.

In this way, they successfully joined the Sky Chamber of Commerce and became one of the thousands of murlocs searching for lantern fish.

Foster is still somewhat wise. He read a lot of books and journals, visited many experienced fishermen, and found that there have been many traces of lantern fish showing up in the past hundred years.

Finally, a year ago, he summarized the information in his notes, and after a little analysis, he found out the behavior pattern of the lantern fish - that is, this fish returns to the South China Sea every ten years.

It's like looking for something along a fixed route.

Finding this pattern, he speculated that the next time the lantern fish would arrive in the South China Sea would be at the end of 1494 in the Hainan calendar, that is, this year.

So he teamed up with two murloc teams who usually had a relatively friendly relationship to start a search, and finally targeted the waters near Badelila Island.

Huangtian paid off and allowed them to search for traces of the lantern fish.

"This Foster is really a talent."

After listening to the other party's story, Faith couldn't help but admire in his heart that this fish-man man was not only tough and tough, but also as thoughtful as a hair.

Not only was he able to stand his ground, but he was also able to sift out useful information from so many miscellaneous folklore and local records, and finally successfully located the location of the lantern fish. Fes himself could not even imagine the amount of work involved.

What's more important is a little bit of luck, because if you're not lucky, even if the lantern fish swims under your boat, you won't find anything.

After returning from this trip, if Foster is willing to continue working at Sky Chamber of Commerce after taking Bailey, he may be entrusted with important tasks.

Keeping this in mind, Faith turned his gaze to the sea level in the distance, where traces of several merchant ships were gradually revealed in the sparkling waves.

All of these ships fly the flag of the Sky Chamber of Commerce.

"Sir, we've arrived."

Fox also found traces of several ships. He stood up and pointed to the sea area and said to Faith: "Those are the ships that the other two teams are watching. The brothers are monitoring the whereabouts of the lantern fish in the low and deep sea."

In order to prevent an accident from alarming the lantern fish, Moss not only notified Faith as quickly as possible, but did not send other people to cause trouble. Instead, she stationed them on several nearby islands and was ready to respond at any time.

One is to prevent the crowds from scaring away the lantern fish, and the other is to prevent someone with ulterior motives from recognizing Fez and causing unnecessary trouble.

After all, the Vulcan Pirates and the World Government are now at war with each other. If word gets out that Faith is no longer in the new world, there's no telling what the other side will do.

When the ship approached the sea area, Feisi closed his eyes and directly turned on his domineering power to completely cover the sea area with a radius of a hundred miles, and then slowly penetrated downwards, crossed the shallow water, and explored the depths.

The sea is not like land. With the barrier of sea water, it is not very convenient to explore. It took Feis several minutes to move forward a few hundred meters.

Then...

One thousand meters.

Two thousand meters.

Three thousand meters.

Many strange creatures came into Faith's mind, but he eliminated them one by one.

When he reached 4,500 meters, Faith finally felt three familiar scents, which were somewhat similar to Foster's and exuded a glistening green light.

Obviously, these are friendly forces.

They should be the fishmen responsible for monitoring the lantern fish.

Soon, Faith's vision gradually covered the area, and they sensed a huge fish life in front of a few people.

The fish was more than dozens of kilometers long and was bigger than an island. It was like a firefly in the silent darkness, and it was difficult for Faith not to notice it.

Obviously, this is the goal of Fes's trip - lantern fish.

Next to the lantern fish, there are many traces of young life, which are small lantern fish that have just hatched from the eggs.

As if sensing the danger, the hill-like lantern fish swam backwards quickly, protecting a group of small fry beneath it.

After sensing all this, Faith's eyes changed and he gave up his plan to kill the big fish directly. He was going to use a gentle way to obtain pure gold.

"Sir, what should we do now? That fish is hidden under thousands of meters of water. It is too difficult to catch it."

Foster watched Faith close her eyes and say nothing. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

"No."

Faith waved his hand to signal Fox not to bother, and he was going to take action himself to prevent any accidents.

Before Fox could say anything else, Faith's figure flashed, and the next second he was standing on the sea with his feet on the flame cloud.

"A person with fruit abilities?"

Foster was surprised, but felt relieved after a moment. In his opinion, it was normal for a big shot like Faith to have Devil Fruit abilities.

I just don’t know what the other party is going to do with this fish. After all, the ocean is the home of fish. If you want to catch big fish in the deep sea, it will be very difficult even for fishmen to come out of the water.

The next second, an incredible scene happened that made Fox feel that Faith was covered with flame armor, and then he plunged into the sea water, spraying out terrifying flames from behind, and quickly dived towards the deep sea.

"Isn't the sea... the nemesis of Devil Fruit? Why does this sir..."

Several murlocs in the team were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them. They couldn't believe their eyes.

"Keep your voice down!"

Fox scolded him in a low voice, and then said to several subordinates with a serious face: "Forget everything you saw today, and don't leak anything! Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will still be alive to see the sun tomorrow! Listen!

Have you arrived yet?"

In the dark, many thoughts were connected together, allowing him to get a glimpse of the whole matter.

Including the identity of this big shot.

Just thinking about that possibility, he couldn't help but shudder, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

The more he knew, the more terrified he became. This secret was too big, and if one mistake was made, it would lead to death for his team.

After a few minutes, the silent sea water suddenly bubbled up.

The bubbles grew bigger and bigger, and finally a golden figure suddenly appeared, it was Faith wearing flame armor.

In his hand, he held a fist-sized piece of golden substance, emitting bright light. It was the legendary treasure that can prolong human life - pure gold.

When he dived into the deep sea just now, he did not harm the small island-like lantern fish, but stunned it with Overlord Color, then quickly took out most of the pure gold in the lantern, and then treated it.

Because he was an orphan in his two lives, Faith respected his great mother from the bottom of his heart, even if she was a fish.

Holding the pure gold in his hand, Faith only felt that the cell division and death in his body were delayed. The whole person seemed to have entered hibernation, and the aging of life was greatly delayed, even to the point of almost stopping.

No wonder Olga in the original work is still the same as a little Loli after living for more than two hundred years. With this kind of thing, although she cannot achieve immortality, it is still not a problem for ordinary people to live for hundreds of years.

With a thought, golden flames covered the pure gold, covering up the bright light, and then jumped directly onto the boat.

"You knew already?"

Looking at Foster who looked a little horrified, Faith asked with a half-smile.

"Gudong - I didn't expect that the legend of pure gold is true! A treasure that makes people immortal!"

Foster's eyes were fixed on the gold nugget wrapped in flames in Faith's hand, and he couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, breathing heavily.

Immortality is a goal that even the Celestial Dragons are pursuing, let alone a small commoner like him.

The more people fear death, the more they want to live forever.

But after a while, the heat in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he slowly regained his composure.

This is not something you can covet.

"If this thing falls into your hands, I'm afraid you may not survive more than three days."

Face watched Foster regain his composure, and he admired him even more in his heart, and then said something that was like falling into an ice cellar: "Also, this is not what I am talking about."

He is not being alarmist. There are rumors that pure gold can sell the entire world. This is a true legend, but it also illustrates the value of pure gold. If this kind of thing falls into Foster's hands, as long as there is a little leak,

What awaits them is an endless pursuit.

"No...not this?"

Foster looked at the tall figure in front of him, and by raising his head, he could get a full view of the whole face under the brim of Fez's hat.

It is indeed a calamity of fire, no, now I call it the Lord of Fire.

Looking at the handsome face that had appeared countless times in the newspapers, he felt bitter in his heart. Knowing the secrets of the Flame Lord and the Sky Chamber of Commerce, he and the others were probably dead this time.

But after waiting for a long time, the expected death did not come.

He looked around blankly and saw that Faith was already walking towards the cabin. At the same time, he heard a word in his ear: "Go back to Badelila Island."

After finding a clean room, Faith closed the door, and then put away the golden flame on the pure gold in his hand. The dazzling light once again illuminated the entire room, coating the furniture and walls with golden light.

The piece of pure gold in front of you may be large or small. If you use it sparingly, it should be able to supply hundreds of people.

After all, in the original work, Olga only inlaid a small piece inside the ring, which has been used for more than two hundred years. It can be seen that the life-extending effect of this thing is not only long-lasting, but also has a small demand.

Thinking of this, Feisi has already made a decision. The news that this thing is in his hands should not be publicized. When the time comes, the Sky Chamber of Commerce will announce that the search has failed and cancel the search activity.

After all, the world government has been searching for something like pure gold for hundreds of years, and there is still no result. How could it be easily found by the Sky Chamber of Commerce?

As for each fishman participating in the operation, a certain amount of financial compensation will be given.

Naturally, the rewards promised to the three teams who helped him find the pure gold will not be less at all.

Finally, there is the pure gold arrangement. Faith is not ready to expose it for the time being, but waits for his confidants to grow to their peak state before using it. After all, whether it is the squad captains or Eros, the oldest is only in his early thirties, and the younger one is in his early thirties.

It's only a teenager, so it's meaningless to use it, and it may even cause the strength to stagnate due to delayed growth.

Anyway, as long as this thing is in their own hands, they can make it into a ring or something like that and let them decide for themselves when to wear it.

The next day, the merchant ship slowly approached Batelila Island.

In front of the wooden house next to the port, a pink-haired girl kept looking towards the horizon, as if she was expecting something.

Ever since that day when she saw that handsome young man with extraordinary temperament looking back at her and smiling, she has been thinking wildly these days.

Does he know me?

Why are you smiling at me?

Will it appear again?

These questions kept lingering in her mind, and she couldn't help but look in the direction of the port every once in a while, wanting to ask questions back then.

Suddenly, a huge merchant ship gradually appeared in the distance, from its mast to its sails, until the entire ship jumped out of the sea.

Suddenly there was light in the girl's eyes, like a river of stars flowing, and the ship really appeared.

When the merchant ship docked, Faith slowly walked down the stairs carrying a black suitcase, followed closely by Foster and several fishmen.

The girl mustered up her courage and rushed to Faith step by step. She lowered her head and blushed, unable to speak for a long time.

"What's wrong? Miss."

Faith scratched his head in confusion when he saw Lu Jiu suddenly rushing in front of him. He was just thinking about finding a reason to take her away from the island, but he didn't expect that the other party came first.

"Well... hello, my name is Lujiu, Portcas D. Lujiu, please... do you know me?"

Lujiu introduced himself with his head lowered, his hands clasped in front of his chest, and his two white fingers circling each other, as if he wanted to hide his embarrassment in this way.

The wind blew his pink hair and white skirt, making him look like a princess walking out of a fairy tale.

"My name is Faith... I guess we know each other."

Faith didn't know how to answer, after all, he only knew about such a person from watching anime in his previous life.

I can't tell Lujiu that you will be a great mother in the future, so I admire you and want to take you out of the sea of ​​suffering.

People might think that they are crazy.

When Foster and the other pirates heard Faith admitting his identity, they were stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads as if they hadn't heard.

"Well, Feisi, you are from the outside world. Have you been to many places?"

Lujiu finally raised his head, looked at Faith's heroic face, and asked with some anticipation.

"That's true."

Faith nodded.

"That... that... can you please tell me about the outside world? When I was a child, I heard my mother say that the outside world is very big. There are pirates... and huge sea kings, and..."

Upon hearing Faith's words, Lu Jiu's eyes lit up at first, and then gradually became gloomy.

She wanted to understand, wanted to understand the colorful world that her late parents had spoken about, but unfortunately this claustrophobic island had not had outside visitors for so many years, and the ferocious fish-men images of Foster and others made her even more intimidated.

Now she finally knows that someone who knows the outside world has come to the island. She wants to know whether what her parents said back then is true, whether there are really sea kings as big as the island, and pirates who are as heroic as what her father said.

.

I just think that I am not related to the person in front of me, so why should the other person tell me.

"If you want to know, just go and see for yourself."

Faith probably knew what the girl was thinking. Seeing the girl's frustrated look, various different emotions arose in his heart. He didn't know whether it was sympathy or respect.

Finally, he couldn't help but stretched out his big hand and touched Lu Jiu's hanging little head, and then said with a smile: "I can take you on an adventure together."
