Chapter 578: Mr. Jinbei, please take action
"It's okay. Although it hasn't been completely resolved, we won't have to worry about it for a few years." Zhang Da also said, "So next we have to go to the New World to take a look."
"By the way, Jinbe, have you heard of the rumor of 'pure gold' in the New World?"
"Pure gold?" Jinbei thought for a moment and said, "I've indeed heard such a legend."
The little girls became curious: "What is it, what is it?"
Jinbei said, "Two hundred years ago, there was a scientist who dedicated himself to the study of metal refining. One day, he created a metal called pure gold. It is said that this metal glitters even in the dark and is so valuable that it could buy the whole world."
"Buy... the whole world?" Perona was so overwhelmed by the money that she couldn't help but think of castles, teddy bears, endless hot cocoa, and hordes of servants...
Zhang Da also knocked her little head: "Girl, wake up, that's just a legend."
Weiwei asked, "If it was really that valuable , wouldn't that scientist have instantly become the richest man in the world?"
"No, not really," Jinbei said. "That person disappeared, along with the island he was on."
"Ah? Why?" Weiwei asked in surprise.
Jinbei said, "No one knows the reason, but some say pure gold is a forbidden metal that should never have been discovered. Anyone who obtains it will encounter misfortune."
"Unlucky?"
"Perhaps they would die in an earthquake, drown in the sea, or be eaten by a sea monster. There are all kinds of legends, but I have only heard of them and have never seen them with my own eyes. I don't know if pure gold really exists."
Jinbei recounted his experiences and concluded by reminding Zhang Da: "Although these are just legends, if such claims exist, then if pure gold truly exists, it must be accompanied by great danger. There are many ways to obtain wealth, so there's no need to pursue such unconfirmed legends."
"I'm not interested in wealth... well, not completely, but I'm not looking for pure gold for wealth," Zhang Da also said, "because I've heard another legend that pure gold can greatly slow the growth of living things, and that wearing it on a sick person can stop the disease from worsening."
"I see." Jinbei glanced at Misaka and understood why Zhang Da was also looking for pure gold. "But if you want to rely on that to delay the disease, you might as well visit famous doctors."
"It's because ordinary doctors can't help that I thought of this." He had already seen the famous doctors on Fishman Island and Alabasta, but they were no match for Dr. Gureva. Zhang Da was also a little helpless.
I wanted to ask Jinbei if he had any more information, but now it seems that the clues about pure gold are not that easy to find.
Zhang Da also naturally knew that if he wanted to find pure gold, he needed to find the giant anglerfish, and to find the anglerfish, he needed to use the light of pure gold to lure it.
In other words, if you can't find pure gold, you can't attract the anglerfish, and if you can't attract the anglerfish, you can't find gold... This is a completely vicious cycle.
"I'll help keep an eye out for news about Pure Gold and the famous doctor." Jinbei suggested again, "Since we're going to the New World, why not try Whitebeard's place? Marco and the others might have a solution."
Marco's Phoenix Fruit has a regenerative flame. In addition to helping himself recover from injuries, it also has a certain effect on helping other people's wounds heal. However, Zhang Da did not hold out much hope: "Thank you, I will try it when I have the chance."
A few people asked Jinbe about the situation in the New World, and they walked back to the palace while chatting.
At this time, a guard came out to tell them that the banquet was ready and invited them to take their seats.
When we arrived at the banquet hall, we found that some people and some cats are never late for some things.
The food on the table was indeed categorized according to Zhang Daye's suggestion, taking the tastes of mermaids into consideration as much as possible. The ingredients of many dishes were also thoughtfully noted. Tiragotta was personally responsible for introducing the dishes to the Princess and Shark Star.
After all, mermaids may not know the food on land.
Everyone was a little reserved at the beginning of the banquet, but when the Amber Travel Group started to take action, the people from both sides of the banquet looked at each other for a while and smiled with understanding.
'Do they eat like this where you are?'
"Yes, yes, so it's the same here!"
Everyone immediately had a common topic, from the Amber Tour Group's appetite to their help to their respective countries, to their respective difficulties in the past, and then to all aspects of the country's conditions, environment, celebrities, etc.
The Amber Tour Group, who were only concerned with enjoying the food and eating to their heart's content, seemed to have done nothing at the banquet, yet also seemed to have done everything they should have done.
After the banquet, Chili Shark and Jinbe decided to find a place to fight. It was very easy to find a place to fight in Alabasta, as the desert was so big that it could be easily built.
Many curious people followed to watch the fun, including Bell the Falcon and Gaga the Jackal, the two guardian gods of Alabasta, who couldn't help but follow, wanting to see how powerful this fish-man, who was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea like Crocodile, was.
However, apart from the exciting transformation of Shark Chili during the competition, the other scenes made them a little disappointed.
The unpretentious collision of fists and kicks, and the rigid karate stance, gave them a feeling that they could do it too.
Although it can also cause smoke and dust to rise around, compared with the scene of rolling sand waves and dust filling the sky when Crocodile took action, it always feels like something is missing.
Many people who didn't know the truth secretly speculated: "Is this Jinbei not very strong?" or "I heard that he was given the title of Shichibukai to show that the World Government treated the fish-men equally."
Bell was also familiar with Zhang Da, so he asked directly: "Is this Mr. Jinbei really as powerful as Crocodile?"
"He hasn't used his full strength yet, and the special effects of Jinbei and Shark Pepper haven't caught up yet, so you can't see how powerful they are ." Zhang Da also said, "Also, the water is Jinbei's home turf, and it would be more interesting if the two of them fought in the water."
In fact, Shark Chili has an advantage when fighting against an enemy who is good at Fish-Man Karate, because he is essentially a lump of metal, and the effect of Fish-Man Karate that targets the water in the enemy's body cannot be exerted at all.
If Zhang Da also went up to fight Jinbei, even if he didn't get hurt, it would definitely be very uncomfortable.
Bell was skeptical.
Zhang Da also looked at his expression and said, "How about you and Kaka go up there and try it later? I'll tell Jinbei to be gentle."
Bell and Gaga were eager to try: "Please go ahead, Mr. Jinbei. After all, we are the strongest warriors in this country."
“…” Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, so don’t regret it later.
Zhang Da also reached out and touched Wendy's head, saying that he would have something to do later.
