Chapter 170

Chapter 170

The content of the information was as follows: back in the old pirate era, before Roger became the Pirate King, the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates had fought more than once. At that time, the Whitebeard Pirates did not have their current scale, just a single Moby Dick.

However, the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates was not much different from the present; Marco, Jozu, Teach, and others were already on the ship.

Once, when the two pirate crews were fighting, Teach was hit by a stray bullet. The left half of his body was immediately mangled, and a piece of shrapnel happened to enter his heart from his back.

Logically speaking, such a serious injury basically meant waiting for death. But Teach, apart from screaming in pain, showed no signs of dying at all.

In the end, not only did he survive, but his body also quickly recovered.

His heart was pierced, and his internal organs were severely damaged. Such injuries, even for Kaido, whose life force was comparable to that of a cockroach, might not have been survivable.

After all, the heart is the source of life. It might be a different story for an awakened Zoan-type ability user, but Teach, who was not an ability user at that time and had not even mastered Haki, how could he have such a tenacious life force?

This led Buggy to propose a very special hypothesis.

What if Teach's body contained two sets of circulatory systems, and even his internal organs might be duplicated?

Buggy felt that only such a hypothesis was the most consistent with Teach's physical condition. Only this could explain the reason why Teach was still alive and kicking after being so seriously injured.

And if this were true, then his ability to acquire two Devil Fruit powers without them conflicting with each other could also be explained.

Reversing the logic, the reason ordinary people couldn't have two devil abilities was because they only had one heart, or rather, one circulatory system.

In other words, after a devil ability enters the body, it is directly integrated into the blood. And having deduced this far, Buggy didn't know how to proceed.

Of course, Buggy was not willing to expend more energy to continue deducing. After all, he had more important things to do, and that was to prove the deduction he had spent a considerable amount of time on.

Taking cow 1, who had already mastered Haki, Buggy left Kuja. After collecting a few Devil Fruits on the way, he brought them to the Bird Kingdom to find Law.

After explaining his intentions, two unlucky villains who had committed numerous crimes were used as test subjects for a live experiment.

Under the effect of Law's Operation Room, Buggy could more intuitively see the scene of two devil abilities clashing.

As expected, the source of the self-destruction indeed appeared in the heart.

His hypothesis was correct.

Receiving this conclusion, Buggy did not start but instead frowned even more.

It would have been better if it weren't so. But with the devil ability's stronghold truly being in the heart, Buggy felt somewhat at a loss.

Because Buggy didn't know how to refine the devil ability in the heart.

Returning to Kuja, before Buggy had time to think of a reliable method, Hancock came to him.

Clearly, the only thing that could make Hancock run happily to find Buggy was one thing: the castle renovation, which had taken more than a year, was finally complete.

Pulled into the castle by the high-spirited Hancock and after a good tour, Buggy threw the matter of refining Devil Fruits to one side and directly began to enjoy Hancock's tenderness.

The next day, the two of them came out of the castle. After preparing some living supplies, Buggy and Hancock left Kuja with the remaining Kung-Fu Dugong, cow 1. At the same time, Sandersonia, who had spent nearly a year moving Amazon Lily and Rusukaina to a place near the White Sea, finally showed the demeanor of an empress. With a wave of her large hand, the great army of Kuja directly advanced into the Sky Island region.

The campaign had begun!

Buggy was very clear about the strength of the Sky Island. He didn't think there was anyone who could bring any trouble to the great army of Kuja, which had Sandersonia and Shiliew in command.

The two of them set off with peace of mind.

Half a month later, the two who had crossed the Red Line entered the New World again.

Following the pointer, Buggy very easily found the sleeping place of that super-giant anglerfish.

As for how to get into the belly of this big fish, Buggy had already thought it out.

He didn't even consider how to lure the giant anglerfish out of the sea. Buggy had Hancock release cow 1 from the space castle. After telling it his intentions, Buggy and Hancock themselves drilled into the space castle and then waited for cow 1 to take the space castle and dive into the sea.

After entering the castle, although Buggy couldn't sense the outside situation, Hancock had no problem at all. She could directly see the outside scenery through her connection with the space castle.

Not long after cow 1 and the others dived into the sea, they found a huge silhouette on the seabed.

Without any hesitation, cow 1 and the others, having received Buggy's order, directly took the space castle and rushed into the body of the big fish along with the current of its breath.

And after entering, cow 1 was almost immediately sucked into the space castle, replaced by Hancock and Buggy holding a flashlight.

Treading on Moonwalk, the two quickly disappeared into the dark esophagus of the giant lantern anglerfish.

After running forward for a short while, the originally dark light began to brighten. Buggy knew that at this moment, they had already entered the anglerfish's stomach.

Looking at the first island in the distance, Buggy and Hancock landed on the beach.

After resting for a while and hunting a dinosaur for a taste of something fresh, Buggy and Hancock set off again. After passing an island full of parts, the two finally arrived at the island that had been swallowed by the giant anglerfish 200 years ago—Alchemi.

The journey to find Pure Gold was very smooth. With Buggy around, the normal route was of no use to him and Hancock at all.

Coming directly above the laboratory where Pure Gold was located, Buggy unfolded his Chop-Chop domain, and directly sank into the ground with Hancock, where they saw the Pure Gold.

Looking at the Pure Gold that was emitting an alluring light, Hancock's eyes shone with a mesmerizing glow.

This was not to blame Hancock for not being able to resist the temptation. Buggy estimated that the reaction of most women seeing Pure Gold was absolutely no different from a dragon seeing treasure.

Directly placing the box containing the Pure Gold into the space castle, the two immediately returned to the outside.

After taking a turn around Alchemi Island, Buggy and Hancock headed back to the outside.

Arriving directly at the anglerfish's tonsils, Buggy and Hancock stopped. Then, Buggy threw a fierce punch at the giant tonsil.

The shattered space produced a huge destructive force, causing the sleeping giant anglerfish to open its eyes in pain and then start coughing desperately.

Taking advantage of this gap, Buggy and Hancock drilled into the castle space and released cow 1. Having cow 1 take the space castle back to the sea surface, the journey to find Pure Gold was thus concluded.
