Chapter 260

Hot Potato

The light was so strong that it lit up the room. This light was different from the sunlight shining on Kuro’s earrings. Its light was actually very gentle, like the sun and the moonlight. Even if one looked straight at it, it would not be dazzling.

“This is…”

Leda and Crowe’s bodies shook and their eyes widened.

He felt it, that stagnant growth.

Leda has always specialized in body refining techniques and is also an Energy Fruit user. Her control over her body is not weak, so she can feel it.

After Crowe ate the fruit, as an Animal, his control over his physique will not be too low.

So they all felt that under the illumination of the light, their growth was stopped.

“Pure… pure gold?”

Leda stammered.

“Pure gold?!”

Crowe’s pupils contracted and he cried out, “That secret treasure that can make people eternal and immortal?!”

“This is it…”

Kuro stared at the pebble-shaped gold wrapped in the cloak and said in a deep voice, “But it can’t be said to be immortal. You feel it, right? It will only slow down the growth of the body, but the slowing speed is equivalent to stagnation.”

“Theoretically, it is able to stay young forever, the stagnation of the growth of the body, it represents that the body is always in a constant state. Isn’t that right, Mischina Athia.”

Athie sighed. “Pure gold… It is something that should not appear in the world, but I have no choice. Olga’s illness cannot be cured and she can only rely on pure gold to suppress it.”

“Eh? Is pure gold made?! I always thought that it was a creation of heaven.” Leda was shocked.

Crowe swallowed and forced himself not to look at the tempting light. He asked, “May I ask what the disease is?”

“The South Sea Emperor is hot, that is an incurable disease,” Athie said dejectedly.

Olga also lowered her head and repeatedly touched the ring on her finger. Inside the ring, there was a small piece of pure gold, which was the reason why she had been stagnant growing.

“Is it serious?” Leda tilted her head.

“Of course it’s serious. It’s an incurable disease, but it can’t cure the disease of waiting for death. Being sick is very painful,” Olga shouted.

“Is it painful… I haven’t felt it, what is it like to be sick?” Leda asked.

“Have you never been sick?” Olga asked curiously.

“No, I have never been sick since I was a child,” Leda said matter-of-factly. “If you say starving, I have experienced it. Is being sick similar to starving?”

“He might not want to eat, no matter how hungry he is,” Olga said.

“Oh… then being sick is so painful.” Leda nodded and had sympathy for Olga.

Never been sick …

The people present did not find it strange.

Crowe had never given birth.

As for Kuro, he had never been sick before. How he felt when he was sick was something that happened in his previous life and he had long forgotten it.

“Now is not the time to discuss illness. After 200 years, there is already a special medicine for the fever of the South Sea Emperor. There is a hospital in the town of Moe Island, you can go there and see.”

“To be honest… I really can’t think of anyone who would make you two trouble. Everyone understands what pure gold represents.”

Kuro rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

Crowe and Leda nodded, their faces solemn.

Immortality will make the world crazy.

This thing is good, but who doesn’t want to live forever? But the key is that this thing is not suitable to appear now.

It can stagnate growth, which means that as long as you wear pure gold, your body will lack the possibility of advancement. No matter how you exercise, your body will be in a constant state.

Kuro is still in the growth stage and has yet to evolve into an ultimate form.

However, if a person in his peak state gets it, he can stay in his peak state.

There are a few powerhouses in the world at their peak.

Kaido is one.

Hawkeye is one.

The three generals are also in their prime. Although the old man is a little old, he is still in his peak state. For them, getting pure gold means that they can always stay in their peak state.

There is no way for this kind of existence to grow. As time goes on, their state will fall.

He was already annoyed enough now. Because of his fame, he had to keep a low profile.

If the news of pure gold appearing in his hands was known, it would not be as simple as being slightly noticed.

That will cause a stir in the world. If he doesn’t hand it over, he can forget about being a Marine.

But to hand it over…

“There is no reason to hand over something that has reached my hands!”

Kuro bared his teeth and clenched the jar of pure gold. He could not give this to the World Government.

With the World Government’s nature, what will happen if they get this?

Moreover, once this kind of thing is exposed, others will definitely come to deal with him first. Compared to him, the World Government is certainly easier to deal with.

At that time, even that bastard Kaido will do his best to deal with me.

“So this thing, and the one in your hand…”

Kuro grabbed Olga’s hand and took off her ring.

Bang!

Kuro crushed the jar and held the pure gold and the ring in his palm. The room shook and the rock of the wall broke apart a little and wrapped around the surface of the pure gold. It piled up to form a rock ball and was carved into the shape of a lion’s head. It could no longer emit light.

He opened the window and threw the stone outside. It flew up. At the same time, Kuro closed his eyes.

In the sky, in the [Treasure of Heaven], where a large number of islands are located, a medium-sized island decomposes by itself, turning into countless big rocks, and the rocks fly to the center, and then the big rocks reassemble and form islands again.

He put this thing in the center of the island, but it was not safe enough.

The objects in the sky continued to arrange themselves. The island, rocks, and weapons were all combined with the island as the center, forming a continent in the sky. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The island containing pure gold will be placed in the center of the mainland so that no matter what, it will not be destroyed or discovered.

“Done.”

After doing all this, Kuro opened his eyes and exhaled.

“This thing is a hot potato. Whoever takes it will be f*cking unlucky. Anyone with a little brain will not want it to be born.”

“Hawthorn? What hawthorn? Is it delicious?” Leda heard hawthorn and her eyebrows moved.

“Go, don’t bother me!”

Kuro took out a cigar, lit it, and took a puff. Then he signaled to Asier, “Want one?”

“I don’t smoke.”

Athie waved his hand and said expectantly, “Marine, did you just say that Emperor of the South China Sea fever can be cured?”

“Ah… Crowe, take them to the hospital. Also, I’ll leave the aftermath to you. Mieschi and her father will handle the procedures here. Don’t have any accidents and let them stay here.”
