Chapter 721 Tunnel

"Extra! Extra! The front and rear halves of the Great Line have been opened! Extra! Extra! The Red Continent Tunnel has been opened! You can go directly to the New World by boat!"

A newsboy ran from one end of the town to the other with a newspaper, shouting so loudly that everyone couldn't help but stop.

"Kid! Give me a newspaper!"

A well-dressed gentleman handed over two coins and took a newspaper from the newsboy. The bold and bold headline on the front page was what the newsboy just shouted.

"shock! The Red Earth Continent has been opened up, and ships can be transported normally, saving at least three days of travel! 》

Looking at the article in the newspaper that raved about how good this tunnel was, the gentleman couldn't help but frowned. He discovered a small detail, that is, the report did not explain who made this sudden tunnel. There was no mention of the World Government or the Navy, which was really strange.

There are many people who have the same idea as this gentleman. There are smart people in this world, especially some businessmen who have been doing business at sea all year round. They have discovered one thing keenly. The newspaper mentioned an inconspicuous person. place, that is, the tunnel is opened from the New World to the Paradise, and everyone who knows who is in control of the New World now understands, so it is naturally self-evident who made this tunnel. For a time, the Yonko The reputation of the tunnel has begun to rise. After all, this tunnel can save businessmen a lot of things. Time is money, my friend.

At this time, in the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku looked at the newspaper and sighed helplessly, then threw the newspaper aside, took off his glasses, and rubbed his tired eyes.

"How's the situation in that tunnel?"

Warring States asked helplessly.

"It's still being tested. At least so far there are no problems. I don't know what kind of explosives the pirates used. The entire tunnel is completely cylindrical and wide enough for four ironclads to sail side by side without interfering with each other. And the entire structure It’s very stable. We tested it for half a day and didn’t find any gravel falling. ”

A technical sergeant of the Navy said that he was shocked when he saw the tunnel. This kind of miraculous engineering work, if the Navy who was present at the time did not say that an explosion occurred in an instant, he would have said nothing. I won't believe it. This kind of thing may not be possible even if it takes decades, let alone an instant.

"Okay, by the way, be careful not to stay too long in the New World during the investigation. The situation there is not very clear right now. No one can guarantee what will happen, so be careful."

After Warring States warned again, he waved the technical sergeant to leave. At this moment, he felt his head buzzing. What on earth was going on in this world?

At the same time, the situation on the Wulaoxing side was not optimistic. The injury of Saint Nashoulang made the other people feel a trace of fear that had not appeared in many years. The opponent was clearly not awakened, but he was able to snatch it from Saint Nashoulang. Not to mention the control of the Death Realm, it is really incredible that Saint Nashoulang can be put into such a mess.

"What the hell is going on?"

Saint Maz asked with a gloomy face. This battle was too embarrassing. It can be said that everything was lost because Saint Nashoulang lost his chain, and it happened to be the enemy chosen by Saint Nashoulang themselves.

"Her fruit is only one step away from awakening. Whether she is truly awakened or goes astray, she has the ability to communicate with the dead realm. The authority of this ability is higher than mine. My ability is tightly restrained, even My attacks have no effect on her, and she can take away my authority just by releasing her own flames."

There is a piece of gauze on the chest of Saint Nashoulang. To others, that small wound may heal quickly, but to Wulaoxing, this seemingly inconspicuous wound has other meanings, as if A person who doesn't often get sick may become seriously ill suddenly. For the almost immortal Wulaoxing, this inconspicuous wound is actually a very serious wound. It is not much lighter than other people who have suffered serious injuries. This may also be the case for the almost immortal Wulaoxing. There are disadvantages behind the ability of immortality. Everything has to be sacrificed.

"So have you figured out the matter about Wanshou?"

Saint Wuchuli asked.

"At least for now, it seems that they don't know anything about Wanshou, but I can't guarantee it. After all, Wanshou may have told them about his situation. They may be deliberately concealing it, but the look in Rose Lily and Kaido's eyes at that time, Judging from the heartbeat, breathing, etc., it seems that they really don’t know.”

Saint Satan lowered his head and said in a deep voice. His face looked as ugly as possible. After all, he, who has always been arrogant, actually ran away this time. This was really humiliating, but he couldn't say anything. After all, it was his own choice. , I can only vent my anger silently in my heart.

"In other words, the beasts probably got so many phantom beast devil fruits because of their bad luck? What a joke! How is this possible!"

Saint Pit slapped the table. He couldn't accept this kind of thing. They had searched for hundreds of years and only found three, and all of them were lost due to various accidents. As a result, the Hundred Beasts, which had only been established for a few decades, actually had so many. The phantom beast devil fruit is really infuriating.

"Fruits will choose people, there is no doubt about it, but there is no good news this time, right? Vegapunk has been brought back and is temporarily placed on an island in the windless zone for research. ”

Saint Maz waved his hand to stop Saint Peter from continuing. Although it is indeed irritating, this kind of thing is sometimes like this. Anyway, if the people of the Hundred Beasts really don’t know Wanshou and don’t know the Phantom Beast It would definitely be a good thing for them to find a real method of awakening. As long as those who have the ability to use the phantom beast fruit of the Hundred Beasts go astray, they will no longer be a threat, at least not a big threat.

"There is still good news. By the way, how is the progress of Vegapunk's research on Mother Fire?"

Saint Satan raised his head and looked at Saint Maz. As the god of scientific defense, he was most concerned about this situation. After all, this was a fundamental issue related to the Tianlong people and the long-term stability of the world of that adult. It was also the most important thing about that thing. energy.

"There is no good progress yet. Although he has the fragmentary page of the design of the past thing that we gave him, it is still a problem to restore the fragmentary page to create the mother fire. He is still researching it."

Mazsheng shook his head. He believed that Vegapunk did not lie to him, because the guy was almost too scared to speak at that time. He still said this, and he should not be able to lie to him.

"Hmph, it's really slow, but for now we can only count on him. By the way, have you read what the Navy reported? What is your opinion on the issue of pure steel battleships and flying machinery in the sky? The Navy's The equipment began to fall behind again. In addition to the human factors, the biggest problem in this war was the gap in equipment. "

When Saint Wuchuli talked about human factors, he glanced sideways at Saint Nashoulang. The meaning was self-evident. Saint Nashoulang was very angry about this, but he couldn't say anything. After all, he was the one who caused the defeat of the entire battle. .

"We really need to add new armaments as soon as possible. Let's give them a small-scale target for the Navy's recruitment plan. By the way, do you know about the tunnel? Do you need to block it?"

"Why is it blocked? Fish-Man Island has withdrawn from the franchise, leaving only one of the two roads to the new world. Our tax revenue has also dropped sharply. Although I don't understand why those pirates came here, but Obviously, this is good news for us. Rather than finding someone to collect tolls at the bottom of the sea, this tunnel is obviously a suitable place to collect taxes, isn't it? It just happens to offset the cost of the Navy's recruitment. "

"Other than that, that guy Morgans was quite sensible this time. He didn't report anything that shouldn't be reported. Everything during this period was overshadowed by the appearance of this tunnel."

"No matter what, we must pay attention to the situation of the four emperors, but don't think about taking action against those pirates in the short term. At least until the mother fire is completed, we must maintain a peaceful state for the time being. Keep the notice, as long as no new situation occurs, and If the members of the Yonko Pirates don't expand to the first half or to a large area, don't take the initiative to provoke or fight. Of course, if the other party provokes, fight back immediately!" "Reconsideration!" X4

Maz Sheng once again said as the final summary, and the original purpose of the Four Emperors was completely achieved.
