The Iron Ship Island of the Great Voyage

This is a luxuriously decorated and dark secret room, somewhat similar to the secret room in the painting where Mr. Capone lived in Philip's territory.

I don't know whether it's to prevent detection, or because vampires like dark places, but this room gives people a spine-chilling eerie feeling.

Slightly dim oil lamps, densely packed bookshelves, and what appear to be abstract master oil paintings hanging on the walls, nautical charts, compasses, ancient armors, vampire coffins...

There is also a finely crafted sand table placed on the mahogany table, which looks like the detailed sea topography of the sea near the "Black Point Domain".

Two old vampires with almost no breathing or body temperature were sitting at the table. When Raymond came in, the two of them were turning their pale and bloodless faces to look over...

...

Enzo looked at Raymond, a glint flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Have you advanced again?"

As he said that, Capone on the side also showed a look of surprise, and said in amazement: "You kid has advanced so fast, it's only been a few years..."

"Senior, have you sensed this? I thought my aura was well controlled."

Raymond pursed his lips, feeling frustrated.

He thought that his ability to hold his breath was now very strong, so he wouldn't be seen out so easily.

Enzo shook his head and responded with a smile: "No...it's just because your breath didn't leak out that I guessed that you should have advanced again. Before, no matter how much you restrained yourself, you couldn't reach this level.

of."

"Oh I got it."

Raymond showed a hint of surprise and breathed a sigh of relief.

That is to say, only these big guys who are familiar with their identities know that their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and it may be difficult for others to see it.

At this time, Enzo asked casually: "What's your rank now?"

Raymond didn't hide anything and said: "I only advanced to Sequence 2 in the past two months."

Listening, Enzo was stunned.

When he came back to his senses, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said again: "Have you also mastered the armament color and domineering spirit?"

Raymond nodded and said modestly: "Barely...but there are still many places to explore."

Enzo showed an expression of approval, raised his eyebrows and said: "Come, release your breath, use the devil's body, let me see your current strength... It's almost time for you to come into contact with the field of law.

If you have any doubts about practice, you can just ask..."

"oh."

Raymond nodded.

The two bosses both had a lot of kindness towards him, so they had nothing to hide. Besides, it was very rare for the boss to take the initiative to give advice in person, so this opportunity was rare.

As he said that, his expression suddenly became stern, and he suddenly transformed into a demonic state with a green face and fangs.

This time, the aura is overwhelming, just like the hunting wind blowing on the face.

Originally, these two vampire elders had the intention of giving guidance to their juniors, and wanted to help Raymond see if he had encountered any difficulties in his practice and had gone astray.

But I never thought that as soon as Raymond released this aura, the expressions of the two of them immediately became very exciting.

"this..."

Enzo and Capone looked at each other and saw the wonder in each other's eyes.

After the mixture of Raymond's aura in front of me, how does it look like an ordinary Sequence 2 existence?

No one would doubt this about Sequence 1.

Moreover, the bulging muscles under his green skin gave people a very powerful visual impact, as if he was seeing a giant race who purely cultivated physical strength, rather than a human being!

Moreover, Enzo was very familiar with Third Uncle's Demonic Ape Qigong. When he looked at the thick layer of Qi shield on Raymond's body, he immediately knew that this guy's Qi was several times thicker than that of the same level.

"Tsk, tsk, although I was optimistic about you at the beginning, I didn't expect you to advance so quickly. And you have such a good foundation..."

Enzo suppressed the surprise in his eyes, and there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

Raymond's current situation was far beyond his expectation. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was nothing to give him.

What Raymond lacks now is just the understanding of laws and high-level domineering.

Outsiders can't help him with that kind of thing.

Instead, he was very curious and asked: "By the way, I haven't asked yet...which sequence of potions did your kid advance to?"

Raymond thought about it and said truthfully: "First, the golden spear swordsman sequence in Anna's hand was advanced to sequence 9, 8, and then the dragon slaying sequence of the Mamen family was advanced to sequence 7, 6, 5... Recently

A few of them are the evolution of the Giant series that I introduced myself to the present..."

Hearing this, Enzo was obviously even more surprised and asked with a strange look: "The magic potion you derived yourself? What is its quality?"

Even Capone on the side cast a doubtful look.

They originally thought that Raymond had obtained some powerful magic potion formula, but they didn't expect that they had deduced it themselves.

Raymond said: "Legend..."

"ah?!"

As soon as these words came out, the two vampire bosses felt that their brains were running out.

If it weren't for Raymond standing in front of them, they would have thought they were being tricked.

Even those who are not potion masters are well aware of the difficulty of deriving a new potion. It must be a cutting-edge field that only top-level potion masters are qualified to engage in.

Moreover, there are definitely less than a handful of potion masters in the world who can deduce a potion of legendary quality. Even the few old men at the potion masters union headquarters may not be able to deduce it successfully.

After listening to Raymond's narration, Enzo was still a little unbelievable, and repeated: "You mean... you used a giant's exclusive potion to derive a force-sensitive potion that you can withstand? Fit

Almost 100 percent?”

Raymond ignored the system plug-in and said, "Well. I accidentally got the "Potion Knowledge Secret Codex" handbook left by the ten-star potion master Igris Centia, and then I found that I seemed to

I have a pretty good talent for potions... when I was deriving potions, inspiration came to me unconsciously..."

Is this more than just a good talent?

After hearing what Raymond said, the two bosses were completely confused.

Even if the ten-star Potion Master "Igris Centia" who founded the Potion Master's Guild was still alive, he might not be able to do this!

"What a weirdo."

At this time, Capone shook his head and muttered in a sour tone: "If I had known that your boy was so talented as a potion master, I should have taken you out of the Black Sea together and stayed on my ship as a dedicated potion master.

It's definitely not possible now..."

Enzo also didn't expect that he originally wanted to give Raymond some advice, but he didn't expect that after a series of questions, he made him show off his almost demonic talent in front of him.

"You kid, you really surprise people every time..."

He smiled and said, "It just so happens that since you have this ability, let's keep a copy of the powerful potion formula you have researched and the "Secret Book of Potion Knowledge" manuscript. We can bury it together...

.”

"Buried?"

Raymond was a little surprised when he heard this word.

It doesn't matter if I give Capone and the others a backup copy of the formula and code, but judging from this tone, they don't want to use it to enhance their strength? Instead, they want to bury it?

Enzo nodded, with a sad figure in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Yes... to leave some hope for future generations."

"What's the meaning?"

Raymond wondered: "Senior, is something going to happen?"

Enzo pursed his lips and said nothing, as if he didn't want to say anything too depressing.

Capone on the side raised his eyebrows and glanced, and asked: "Boy Raymond, with the current situation, do you think our future will be like this?"

"Not too optimistic."

Raymond thought about it and expressed his opinion, "Now that those old monsters like the Twelve Sages have ended in person, they will definitely not leave any chance for their opponents to breathe. Super powerful organizations like the 'Revolutionary Army' were destroyed overnight. ..I’m afraid the situation for us pirates won’t be good either.”

"Yes! The reason why those arrogant guys planned to meet at the Seven Emperors Sea Meeting is actually because they realized this."

Capone said: "Now that the 'Revolutionary Army' has been destroyed, the World Government's next target must be us, the so-called 'Seven Endless Emperors'..."

Hearing this, and looking at the solemn expressions of the two Capones, Raymond thought of something and asked: "Senior Capone, you... are not optimistic about the outcome of this gathering?"

"I didn't expect those selfish guys to unite to do something big... The so-called 'Seven Pirate Emperors' are just a mess. Some people choose to stand up as heroes, even if they are regarded as 'fools' by the world '.Some people are obviously not weak in strength, but they choose to hide in a corner in order to protect themselves and the world will be well. This is human nature..."

A sneer overflowed from the corner of Capone's mouth, thinking of what happened back then, and then said: "If this crisis hadn't affected their vital interests, those guys wouldn't care about the overall situation of the world and the survival of human civilization. I would have known this a long time ago I recognized it more than 20 years ago..."

"this..."

When Lei heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

If the "Seven Endless Emperors" unite, they may still be able to fight.

But if everything is scattered, it will be destroyed sooner or later.

He also didn't expect that before the meeting was attended to, Mr. Capone was already so unfavorable?

So why do they need to meet for a meeting?

"There are other matters to be dealt with in the parliament this time, and there is nothing to elaborate on. You will naturally know about it at the meeting tomorrow."

Capone obviously didn't mean to say more, and returned to the previous topic, saying: "Although it is a bit pessimistic, history always has striking similarities. All of this is just a repeat of the plot of more than 20 years."

After a pause, he continued: "So, we plan to leave some hope for future generations. I plan to create a 'Blood Emperor's Treasure' so that future adventurers can have a chance..."

Hearing this, Raymond suddenly figured out why Capone had asked him for the potion manual and formula before.

Does this mean...leaving a "will"?

"Boy Raymond, you are not an outsider, and I don't want to hide it from you."

Finally, Capone said: "This time the twelve sages are out in force, it will be a disaster for the entire world. Our [Blood Emperor] group is not sure that we can survive the crisis safely, even if the 'Endless Seven Emperors' can really unite , and the chances are slim... That battle more than 20 years ago has long confirmed this."

The enemy is simply too powerful.

They haven't even been given a chance to breathe.

Even the powerful "Pirate King" who was able to conquer the world would end up like this. Even if they didn't attack the navy headquarters, they would not be able to escape destruction.

Those superior "descendants of the Twelve Sages" will not leave any chance to others. If something goes wrong, they will definitely choose to destroy it.

The situation today is no different from that of then.

After hearing this tone, Raymond understood something.

"Aren't you curious before about what the so-called 'One Piece Treasure' is that has been rumored so much?"

Speaking of this, Capone had a trace of reminiscence in his eyes and asked himself: "That's just a little relic left by Captain Delos to the world..."

After a pause, he continued: "Someone who finds the treasure left by Captain Delos will naturally understand everything, understand the truth of the world, and continue to fight. This process may be very long, perhaps many years.

In the end, it may never succeed. But it still leaves a little hope for human civilization... What we have to do now is the same thing."

It turned out that Capone had already prepared for defeat.

He intends to leave a little hope to the world.

...

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull.

From Capone's words, Raymond also felt the pressure that the building was about to collapse.

Top men like Capone and Enzo have the world in mind and have a heavy burden on their shoulders.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Raymond originally wanted to say, in fact, we don’t have the level of powerful demigods like our third uncle?

What's more, the giant king Uli, who has now awakened the golden bloodline, is no worse than a powerful demigod in terms of combat power.

Enzo saw through his thoughts and said: "Although my senior brother is strong, the World Government will not break up with him unless it is absolutely necessary; but unless it is absolutely necessary, we do not want him to get involved now... After all, human civilization,

We still need the top strong men to serve as beacons and hope. Without them, it will be truly dark."

After a pause, he continued: "The twelve sages who participated in the slaying of the gods in the heroic era were the 'hope' that survived in the harsh cracks... With their presence, the evil gods could not completely pull human civilization into the

In the dark.”

Raymond listened and remained silent for a long time.

The room was quiet for three seconds, no one spoke.

"Hey, speaking of the Twelve Sages... I just have something for you."

At this time, Enzo seemed to have no intention of continuing to talk about such a heavy topic.

He took out a black notebook and said, "This is the [Haines Notebook] that I said was in the hands of 'King Gesadore' before. I brought it to you."

"Another Hines notebook?"

Raymond looked at it with joy in his eyes.

He had previously learned about the whereabouts of the remaining notebooks from Luo Lan.

But each copy is in the hands of top experts, and it is not easy to get it.

This "King Gesadore" is the loyal dogleg of the World Headquarters, running a powerful empire, and its power is no worse than that of the "Seven Endless Emperors".

If Raymond wants to get it, he will definitely escape death.

But now...

It's easy to do things if you have big boss allies. If you mention it casually, they will get it for you.

Enzo briefly explained the source of the note and said: "During the previous war, the 'King Gesadore' was recruited by the World Headquarters to form an imperial fleet to destroy us... It was also thanks to the advanced skills taught by the mechanics on your ship.

Technology, we improved the artillery, and we won the battle...I killed the king conveniently, and unexpectedly found this notebook."

"oh?"

When Raymond heard this, he was very happy.

After looking through it, I found that it happened to be the ninth notebook corresponding to Sequence 1.

At this time, Capone on the side thought of something and also interjected: "If I remember correctly, there is also a notebook in the hands of the old man Pope Dresna of the World Headquarters... I want to get that notebook , it’s not easy.”

"Well, this is indeed a difficult problem."

Upon hearing this, Raymond's soothing brows suddenly frowned.

Pope Dres, who stays in the Holy See behind the Navy Headquarters all year round.

Getting the notes from him would be no easier than breaking into the Navy headquarters.

However, Raymond has always been in a good mood.

When he got the first notebook, he didn't expect that he might never get a second one in his life.

Unexpectedly, by chance, I now have nine copies in my hands without even realizing it.

As for the last two books, I don’t force them either.

What is supposed to come will always come...Although it is difficult, at least we have a goal.

...

"Boy Raymond, when we old guys meet tomorrow, the World Headquarters will definitely send someone... You will need to make some preparations then..."

After chatting about other things, Capone talked about the arrangements for tomorrow's party.

After listening carefully, Raymond realized that his task was not light.

It was more than an hour later when we finished chatting.

"Today there is a high-end exchange auction in Black Lagoon City, and many big shots will be there. Come on, I will take you to identify people in advance... to avoid making a joke tomorrow..."

After Capone got down to business, he asked Raymond to attend some high-end exchange meeting.

He thought that Raymond was just a "freshman" and didn't know the so-called big shots, so he wanted to take him to see the world.

"good."

This "Black Lagoon City" was actually quite familiar to Raymond. But he was also curious about what treasures there would be in this exchange meeting that even Capone said was of a high standard.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Enzo on the side: "By the way! Senior Enzo, I have an experiment here, and only your conditions are met. Are you interested..."

Enzo was slightly surprised and asked: "Experiment?"

"Um."

Raymond nodded and said: "If that experiment is successful, it may increase the amount of true energy in your body by more than ten times..."

"Infuriating energy surged more than ten times? Really?"

Hearing this, Enzo looked moved.

He knew that Raymond was definitely not aiming for nothing.

But when his cultivation reaches his level, every step forward is as difficult as climbing to the sky. What is the concept of this surge of more than ten times of true energy? Then the combat power can at least increase several times!

"Yes! You know my captain's doctor Lulu... He discovered an 'X virus' that can make people's vitality surge. But it seems that only the blood of the second generation ancestor can withstand that kind of violent force. .”

What Raymond was talking about was naturally the "X virus" extracted from the body of the biochemical giant.

Since he can't do it himself, why not let Enzo, who is a second-generation bloodline, try it?

"Doctor Lulu..."

Enzo obviously knows Lulu and recognizes Lulu's abilities.

When he heard Raymond's words, his eyes shone brightly, and he murmured to himself with a hint of expectation: "If the experiment can really succeed... maybe I will have a chance to get a glimpse of the mystery of the 'demigod realm'..."
