Cursed Golden Ship
In the Kingdom of Korf, the inspection is over. With the permission of Vice-Admiral “Golden Lion”, he is specially admitted to the World Government to participate in the World Conference as a member country.
As for the pirates in the kingdom, after more than half of them were killed by Kuro, the remaining pirates were not too much pressure for the existing soldiers of the kingdom, but in order to avoid trouble, Kuro still let Kuro and others clean up the remaining rioting pirates.
After staying here for nearly three days, Kuro brought Aquitaine, who had been equally depressed in the palace for three days, and boarded the Golden Lion together and headed for Mariejois.
“Holy Land…”
On the deck of the Golden Lion, Aquitaine held the fence in front of him and looked at the endless sea in front of him. He murmured, “What is it like?”
In this sea, no one would not be curious about Holy Land Mariejois, especially kings like them. They were naturally curious about the capital of the World Government, the legendary Holy Land.
However, they were not a member country and had no fate to meet them. Now, they could finally see them.
“Marjoya?”
Kuro, who was smoking a cigar at the side, curled his lips. “It’s just that, don’t expect too much.”
What was so good about Mariejois? He had no interest in that place. When he sent this person over, his mission would be completed.
As for what kind of demands and policies Aquitaine will make in the World Government, that is his own business. As a king, he should be aware.
Otherwise, he would definitely return empty-handed from his first World Conference and would only show his face.
“Vice Admiral Kim Jong-un, is there anything you can reveal about the World Conference? This is the first time I’ve joined, and there are many things I don’t understand.”
Aquitaine naturally knew about this, so he asked directly.
Kuro pondered for a long time and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. Aquitaine thought that he was going to give some high-level insider information and his ears were pricked up.
“Me? How would I know?”
He really didn’t know.
Previously, he had been in the East Blue and had only been on the Grand Line for more than two years. He was unknown in the last World Conference and this was the first time he had carried out an escort mission regarding the World Conference.
And the escort is also the first one to attend the World Conference.
No one has much experience.
As for Lucci and the others…
Stussy was there. It was good enough that he didn’t cheat people.
“As for the meeting, it is nothing more than a power struggle and mutual deception. To put it bluntly, it is to set new rules here and seek new benefits. Great countries control small countries remotely. If you want to fight for benefits, it is best to find a backer. This is the only opinion I can give you.”
Kuro said.
That was his only thought about the World Conference.
If they did not find a backer, then the only thing Aquitaine could do was to exercise that little power of the signatories, which was to not let Marines in.
After all, the Joining Nation has the responsibility of being protected by Marines. With the current situation of the Kingdom of Korff, Aquitaine will definitely need Marines.
If Marine is not allowed to enter the country, then Marine may not be able to come to the rescue in time if the Kingdom of Corfu encounters pirates, especially in this country that desperately needs to recuperate. If a big pirate or something comes, it will be deadly.
It would be very simple to garrison there. He pointed to a piece of land for Marine and Marine will build a base there. Within the control of the World Government, there will be another Marine subsidiary branch.
It was impossible for the World Government not to do something that they were happy to see.
“Find a backer…” Aquitaine’s face was bitter. “It’s my first time here. Where can I find a backer? Besides, those people…”
As a small country, it is easy to find mountain barbarians, but the premise is that they must be used by a big country. Aquitaine knows his ability very well. If he is not careful, he will really sell the country without knowing it.
And to find the kind of big country that really thinks for itself…
‘Why should he?’
… .
In the sea, not far from the Golden Lion, an observation mirror emerged from the sea and stared at the golden ship.
At the bottom of the sea, a submarine-like ship was connected to the observation mirror.
Inside, a man dressed as a pirate shouted excitedly, “Captain, we found a golden ship in front. I can guarantee with my experience that it is definitely gold!”
His cry attracted a man wearing a captain’s hat.
“Gold?! Let me see!”
He pushed the pirate away and placed his eyes on the observation mirror. In his vision, the huge golden ship was gradually advancing forward.
“It’s really gold!”
The Captain was excited.
He was an old pirate. He could tell what Gold looked like just by looking at it.
The golden paint hanging on the ship must have been made of real gold, and the strange statue on the bow of the ship was also made of real gold! The statue was not painted with gold, it must have been made of gold.
This ship …
So rich!
“It must be a ship from the union country! The Marine doesn’t have such a warship, rob them!”
The Captain said excitedly: “Little ones, launch the torpedo, we have taken this ship!”
“Oh!!!!”
The pirates in the cabin gathered together.
“Golden Ship?”
On the other hand, a man dressed as a chief officer was stunned when he heard this. He walked over and said, “Captain, can I take a look?”
“Of course, you will be excited!” The Captain smiled and moved aside.
This first mate had just come from [Paradise]. His strength is not bad and his intelligence is not bad. He met me when I was invited to join and became the first mate of this Pirate Ship.
Although it has not been long since he joined, through him, he has already created several attacks and escaped from Marine.
This ship that could sink underwater was built according to his method and was very useful.
The first mate went up to take a look and was stunned. In the observation mirror, the huge golden ship had a group of fortresses gathered on it, like an ancient city. Behind the fortress group, there was a mount that looked like the bow of the ship, like a dragon and a lion, smoking.
“That, that is…”
The first mate subconsciously widened his eyes and exclaimed:
“Captain, we can’t launch torpedoes, that’s, that’s… Golden Ship!”
“Gold ship? Of course I know it’s a gold ship.” The captain didn’t understand.
“No, that’s the Cursed Golden Ship. No one who touches it can survive!”
The first mate said in horror: “The gold there is made by the lives of pirates. It is not gold, it is the Marine Vengeful Spirit killed by pirates and it is luring us. As long as we cannot resist the temptation, we will die!”
In Paradise, this legend has penetrated deep into the hearts of people. Every pirate knows that there is a ship full of gold sailing on the sea, but the gold is not gold, it is the cursed Marine Vengeful Spirit. Once those blinded by greed go there, they will die!
Never heard of getting gold there.
And this first mate is more well-informed. He can be considered half a personal experience.
When a group of pirates decided to form an alliance to challenge this cursed golden ship, he was a member of one of the ships, but because he drank too much and did not catch up, he was left on the island.
At that time, he was still very regretful and thought that he had lost a good opportunity to get rich.
However, he never heard any news of the pirates that were assembled.
And the news of the Golden Ship still flowed on the sea.
Since then, he was filled with fear of this golden ship. Now that he saw the real thing, he was even more frightened.
“Hahaha, First Mate, this is the New World. There is no such thing. Even if there is, the pirates of our New World are not afraid of such things!”
The captain laughed. “If we were afraid, we would have gone back to Paradise long ago. We are not afraid of anything here!”
He did not expect this usually smart first mate to have such a side.
He decided that after snatching this ship, he would mock and magnify it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several torpedoes shot out of the submarine and went straight to the bottom of the sinking golden ship.
Let’s blow up a few holes and force them to stop!
At this moment, on the Golden Lion, Crowe suddenly frowned and a red light flashed in his eyes. He stared at the sea and called, “Mr. Kuro…”
“Ah…”
Kuro turned his head and stared at the sea, his finger hooked upwards.
A ball of water floated on the surface of the sea and there were a few torpedoes in the ball of water.
“Torpedo?”
Kuro was stunned for a moment and looked at the sea again. His eyes narrowed. “It’s very interesting. There is such a ship…”
The Kenbonshoku (Observation) Shop unfolded and instantly scanned the submarine-like pirate ship hidden at the bottom of the sea.
“But in the water, what are you playing with me?”
He clenched his five fingers, and the sea in front of him suddenly rolled up a vortex. Under the high-speed rotation, a few iron shavings were revealed from the corner of the spiral, mixed with the broken pirate flag, and sank into the center of the vortex and disappeared.
He didn’t even have time to look at them.
It is not uncommon for pirates to have such a ship, Kuro knows, but what ability does this pirate, who is hiding at the bottom of the sea and acting as a sewer rat, have?
In this part of the sea, no Pirate Ship can provoke him.
Not even the islands!
Crash!
The water in the air scattered and several torpedoes fell into the sea.
“Okay, let’s move on.”
Kuro said lightly as if he had casually brushed off the dust.
