Chapter 228 Arriving on the Moon

When a maple leaf falls from the maple tree thousands of miles away, fishermen in the East China Sea are returning home with a full net of fish, young and graceful girls are twisting their bodies in the red-light district of the South China Sea, the mafia in the West China Sea is holding a secret meeting, giant ships like white whales are sailing in the waters of the New World, and old men in suits among the powers that be are discussing the world's conscription.

These moments make up people's lives, and these lives tell the wonderful stories of the sea, and these wonderful stories make up this extraordinary era.

People in Qinghai are busy with their own lives, but outside Qinghai, there are also visitors who are unwilling to be lonely.

The Moon, also known as – the Infinite Earth!

It is desolate and full of potholes, like a forbidden zone for life.

However, Barrett thought otherwise:

"There's actually air here! Mr. Lex!"

As soon as he stepped out of the alien space, Barrett explored this magical continent he had never been to with curiosity.

Compared to the fragmented Qinghai islands, the land here is so vast, all 'connected'!

It is 'One Piece' in another sense!

The Red Earl was also greatly shocked, but he showed no emotion on his face. He just felt a little emotional in his heart.

Lex stepped on the soft lunar soil and instantly released his Observation Haki, trying to cover a larger area.

However, the observation Haki that has entered the realm of God no longer has any limits, because at this moment -

The entire moon is within the reach of Rex's observation Haki! ~

This is not an exaggeration, nor is it cheating, it is simply Lex's own strength.

As one of only two kings in the past 800 years whose Observation Haki has entered the realm of God, Rex's Observation Haki has long been unrivaled in Qinghai and has reached an unprecedented level.

Therefore, if we use the common people's perception of life to measure Lex, we would undoubtedly be looking at the world from a well.

How can mortals compare with gods?

"Master, have you found it?"

"Hmm, a very strange breath, it seems... not life?"

"Ah."

Lex didn't waste any words and activated the space fruit again. The azure starlight flickered around the Red Earl and Barrett, and the three of them disappeared on the spot again.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lex appeared again, but this time, the surrounding scenery changed, and it turned out to be the remains of an ancient civilization!

Barrett looked up, his face filled with shock.

The reliefs carved on the heavy walls show that the short winged men are controlling the huge technological creations, attacking the monsters in the ocean from the sky. On the tall red continent, there are races that can breathe fire, guarding the statues that resemble the sun. On the blue seabed, countless huge creatures are carefully guarding a beautiful mermaid!!! ~

The reliefs are endless, almost covering the entire ancient underground city!

The Red Earl's eyes also moved slightly, and he stared at the relief that recorded the ancient secrets without blinking.

Lex seemed to be indifferent. He glanced at it casually and then stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he concentrated on studying the other relics in the ruins.

time flies.

"Barrett, do you understand?"

Lex asked with a chuckle when he saw Barrett come back to his senses from the relief.

"…It seems like a huge war? Both sides had different ideas about that continent, so a huge war broke out in the end?"

"That's right! There's nothing secret about it. The two sides in that war were the temporary alliance of 800 countries including Nerona Im 20 years ago, and the huge kingdom with Joy Boy as its core. The two sides went to war over the concept of the supercontinent. From the accumulation of contradictions, Joy Boy had an absolute advantage in the early stage, to Im using that trick in the middle stage, to Im winning and Joy Boy losing, the continent was shattered, the world's climate was changed, ancient weapons were buried, fire was preserved, the alien races were killed or injured, Im established a world government, destroyed a hundred years of history, divided the four seas, changed the climate, and strengthened his rule. This is the so-called 800-year dispute between the two sides."

Lex explained a lot of things in a row, some of which were the first time the Red Earl heard from Lex, not to mention Barrett, who knew little about them before. At this moment, he had not yet reacted to the huge amount of information from Lex.

"Then Mr. Lex, why didn't these super weapons recorded on the relief fall into Yim's hands?"

"...An ancient weapon. Imu probably doesn't know where Pluto is. Poseidon hasn't been born yet. Although Uranus is in Imu's hands, it lacks a power source, namely the [Sun Spark], so it is difficult to use once. But Imu himself is indeed quite powerful."

Although Barrett did not fully understand the secret history that Lex said, it did not hinder his curiosity:

"What about Mr. Lex? From what I see on the relief, the dispute back then has not been completely resolved. There are still huge hidden dangers in Qinghai. It seems that a huge war will break out in the future. So which side are we on?"

The Red Earl also looked at Lex.

Without hesitation, Lex chuckled and said:

"Which side? We are the ones sitting high up in the sky, watching the show!"

"…But it seems that our power is no longer separate from both sides."

There is nothing wrong with what Barrett said. There is no need to say much about the pirate forces behind Rex. He himself is the king of the New World. Those who oppose Im in the future will inevitably be the liberals represented by pirates.

However, on the government side, Lex is also the executive prime minister of the World Government. He has great power and represents the orthodox forces in this ocean today.

"Barrett, remember, no matter what your identity is, what is the fundamental thing?"

"strength!"

"That's right. No matter who you are, whether you are a pirate or a government official, the only way to succeed is to hold the power firmly in your own hands!"

"I unified the New World to intimidate the government. They would never fight to the death, so they could only compromise endlessly. For this reason, I even became the Prime Minister of the World. With my status as Prime Minister, I can do many things, including dividing the navy, infiltrating the CP, controlling member countries, and expanding the underground world. These things cannot be done by the identity of a pirate, but also require the identity of a government. All of this is nothing more than strengthening our own strength. At this moment, we are exploring the moon and looking for ruins in order to gain more power and exercise ourselves."

"Barrett, don't you think that when the so-called final war breaks out, or even when we start the war, all the enemies will be weak and pitiful. Apart from the Celestial Dragons led by Im, there will be no other forces. The so-called Nika is just a weak alliance composed of a group of naive idealists, and we represent the strongest power in the sea. Shouldn't we pursue this feeling?"

Barrett listened to Lex's narration and felt his blood boiling and his heart surging.

Yup!

Why do we have to wait for that [Sun Warrior] to 'save' the sea as recorded on the relief?

Why does it have to be Im vs. Joy Boy, why can only they be the protagonists?

Barrett worships Rex infinitely and regards him as a god. Isn't this man the real protagonist of the sea? ! ~

The sea in the past 800 years has been really boring. Although many heroes have emerged, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than a struggle between the two sides.

And Leon Lex, in order to break this bullshit fatalism and bloodline theory, a lifetime of struggle and half a lifetime of planning, is it not better than the so-called "courage and glory" and "power and desire"? ~

Before Barrett could come to his senses, Lex and the Red Earl had already left and concentrated on studying other things deep in the ruins.

"Master, these robots are not simply made of steel, but are artificial intelligence with their own thoughts. They are comparable to the technology of gods, but now they have lost their power source."

"Power source?"

"Yes, it should be Electric, that is, Enelu!"

"Then bring him too?"

"No need, he can just continue to lurk in CP. Electricity doesn't need him. We still have a 'great scientist'."

Hearing this, the Red Earl sneered:

"Oh, I didn't see any technology, but there are a lot of little ideas."

This sentence is naturally referring to Vegapunk. Before coming to the moon, Lex and the Red Earl went to the top of the West and took a look at Vegapunk. Although nothing could be seen on the surface, the master and disciple who could "read minds" could "see" the little thoughts in Vegapunk's heart.

It's just that he can't stand Lex's behavior in the Expo Hill, especially the slave trade and condoning darkness.

It's ridiculous, stupid 'world's first wisdom'.

Lex chuckled:

"Yeah, haha, it doesn't matter. If I trouble him to do a few more important tasks, I can recover the Brain-Brain Fruit. I always think that his so-called world's first wisdom is at least 50% due to the Brain-Brain Fruit."

"Well, just kill him and be done with it."

In just a few words, Vegapunk's fate was determined.

For Vegapunk, he had made elaborate plans, recruited the other party, deceived the government, and sent out the fake Vegapunk Lex. When his ideas were inconsistent with Vegapunk, he would kill him without mercy.

That's how Leon Lex operates.
