Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 32
Queen’s compliments to Asier caused Olga’s anger; in her eyes, pure gold was a recipe for misfortune.
“Olga! You’re Olga, right? I’m so glad you’re still alive!”
Asier was thrilled to see Olga, but Olga didn’t think so. After more than a hundred years, there were so many questions she wanted to ask her father, things that had never been answered in the first place.
“Why, why on earth would you make such a thing? It’s what attracted the pirates! Why don’t you tell me? Why don’t you tell me!”
“I don’t want to see pure gold anymore!” With that, he took off the ring on his hand and was about to throw it into the sea, making the silent Asier react.
“No, stop! Olga, stop it!”
In the past, Olga had not dared to do so, for the ring of pure gold would have attracted the super-sized Neptune known as Lord Lantern, but now, that Neptune couldn’t be keen enough to catch the movements of pure gold.
The ring had been her only souvenir, and now that Asier was alive, the outcome would be different.
Fat and not having exercised much in years, Asier’s movements were slow, and she could only watch the ring fly farther and farther away, but in mid-air, Queen’s mechanical claws flew out and grasped the ring back in her hand.
Olga said she never wanted to see pure gold again and then threw the ring away, which didn’t exactly mean it contained pure gold.
“Don’t waste it. It’s a good thing, Mr. Arceus. Vega Punk made a hypothesis at first.”
“What?”
“If the elemental composition of your tablet could be discovered, along with a unique enough core metal, then it would be possible to make a machine that analyzes the power of the tablet. The principle of that machine is not too complicated, and I could make it if I had enough equipment.
With a bit of modification, it might be able to detect the signals of the tablet.
And since the tablet is yours, you must know its composition very well, so if things go well, we should be able to create a related device.”
“Pure gold is that particular metal?”
“Maybe, maybe not. Vega Punk has experimented with most substances, and none of them work. This legendary pure gold might work.”
Vega Punk was a genius, and his technology was five hundred years ahead of even today’s, but future technology may not be able to replicate the ancient stuff. Everyone has their area of expertise, and when it comes to making pure gold, Vega Punk can’t do it either.
He’s a genius, but he’s not omniscient, and there are things he can’t do or isn’t good at.
Queen wasn’t sure if it could be made. He was just stating a hypothesis at the time.
But any possibility of Arceus will not let go. If Queen said the idea can be realized, then looking for the tablet can be divided into two, speeding up the process of collecting the tablet.
The reason why Queen is so positive, mainly wants to see Al Zeus has no way to catalyze the method of bananas. Two years a year is too torturous.
Queen had been side-tracking the matter for a while now, and Arceus could see what he wanted.
“I’ll perfect the power of this when you get the stuff out of the way.”
If he wanted to accelerate the growth of the banana of the Tropic Dragon, then there was only the trait of “Harvest,” and that trait needed to be activated in a small way.
After all, Queen was a product that had eaten the Demon Fruit long ago and had undergone a random mutation, unlike Shaina and Ashes, who had acquired their abilities differently.
Their abilities were more complete. They just still needed to be developed.
“Well, if you need pure gold, I can make it for you, but can you give me back that ring first?”
His tone seemed nervous. Anyone would think he had a problem.
“Huh? You’re an asshole, Dad, to even think of making something like that! Without the whole island’s equipment and mom’s help, you wouldn’t even… Whoops.” Asier gagged her, but a little too late.
“Honestly, I hate it when people lie in front of me.”
“I really can make pure gold again, but I’ll need the time, the workforce, the equipment, the materials. The original data was destroyed, and everything has to start from scratch.” He hadn’t touched the equipment in over a hundred years, and while the knowledge was still there, it had gotten quite rusty.
“As for that ring.”
Asier looked at Olga, still telling the truth.
“Olga is suffering from an incurable disease. The reason why I researched and created pure gold is because I wanted to utilize the power of pure gold to suppress the progression of her disease. Without the pure gold on that ring, Olga’s body won’t last long.”
This lets still struggling Olga stop their action. She never thought of this. Assier research on pure gold is actually for her.
When his wife passed away, Asier was sadder than anyone else, but he had to play it cool in front of his daughter, not letting her know the truth so that she wouldn’t put pressure on himself.
What develops next is a segment of deep father-daughter love, after which even Olga gets a little nervous; these men are pirates, and pirate is not a nice word to use for ordinary people.
Even if she was made a trainee on the ship, her goal was to escape.
What else would a pirate think of when he had his eye on something?
“What kind of disease does she have?”
Since it was meant to be soothing, the disease should be resolved so that, according to Queen, the pure gold was only a core, and the core components could be installed after the other problems had been resolved.
Right now, even though John has not yet found it, he can still accept it if he waits some more time. The main thing is Kaido because Olga is too brave to look at this little girl, and Arceus looks at Asier’s technology.
Science and technology are the first productive forces, even pure gold, this kind of thing can be made, and some simple things should not be in the next right.
“South Sea Emperor Fever, originating from the South Sea, is a serious disease that the king of a country has no cure for.”
“South Sea Emperor Fever?”
“Yes, that’s why I said.”
“That’s not a terminal disease. It was conquered many years ago.”
Hearing this disease, Queen, very disdainful, said he was initially a virus expert; the South Sea Emperor Fever virus, in his opinion, is not a disease.
After all, many years ago, it has been conquered, and the treatment program has also been published, so it can be seen that living a long time is still good. A hundred years ago, the terminal disease in a hundred years later will become curable.
He said, returning to the cabin, he used the medicines in the patrol ship to make a dose of injection.
“There, one injection, and you’re cured. I’m a professional in this field.”
Then he saw that the little girl who was brave enough to dare to hijack Kaido did not hesitate to run away when she was confronted with the syringe.
“Don’t. People are most afraid of needles!”
