Capítulo 499: The Elephant-Elephant Family brought by Doffy
Sometimes, just a little help can completely change a person's destiny. Tesoro deeply understood this. If it weren't for meeting Yamato back then, he couldn't even imagine what would have happened.
So he would help people as much as he could.
The reception from Fishman Island was decent; Fish-Men mining company also gained a batch of new employees. However, Neptune understood that this movie brought not only opportunities but also danger.
The movie showcased the beauty of Fishman Island. It could bring friends with goodwill, but it could also bring enemies with malicious intent.
There was one thing he didn't tell Otohime: along with the movie's tape, there was also a weapons order delivered. Perhaps it's really time to consider this matter.
On the other hand, the Sun Pirates also received the same movie tape, but during the screening, some members simply didn't want to watch it. However, Jinbe, whose attitude towards humans gradually changed due to Tiger's influence, watched it with great interest.
"Hey, Arlong, you really don't want to watch? I seem to have seen Shyarly just now."
"Tch, I'm not interested in movies made by humans about Fish-Men. They don't understand a thing about Fish-Men."
But in the end, he was still dragged along. After all, it wasn't just about humans; there were also Fish-Men and Merfolk. However, his reason for watching was to criticize if they made any mistake.
Meanwhile, on Zunesha's back, as things from outside were continuously brought to Zou Island by Setsuna, movie playback devices were also introduced here. At this moment, several Minks were debating whether there was such a thing as "Fish Mink."
They saw what the scenery beneath the sea looks like for the first time in the movie.
On a passenger ship in the East Blue, Sanji, who had finished his kitchen duty, also caught a glimpse of the movie playing in the restaurant through the window. Watching the pretty Mermaids under the sea, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Not all places were showing this movie. For example, the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue treated this movie as a banned item. To them, there was no behavior more foolish than promoting such exotic races.
The movie caused subtle changes in the world's perception of Fishman Island, but it wouldn't fundamentally affect anything.
Influencing culture is a subtle process. Many years later, those who watched the movie and reached Fishman Island might change their thoughts and do some things differently.
After a brief rest, Yamato and Queen continued towards the island where the trade will take place. The trading time was approaching.
Meanwhile, in the Punk Hazard research institute, the metal debris brought back by Knight had already appeared on the laboratory's table. At this moment, a slightly bulky figure, with a mechanical robot-like appearance with a winding key on its head, was studying it.
The "04" on his chest indicated his identity. This was a clone of Vegapunk. In order to have more research time, Vegapunk conducted miraculous research on himself, eventually giving birth to many clones of himself.
Representing "good," Number 01, Shaka.
Representing "evil," Number 02, Lilith.
Representing "thinking," Number 03, Edison.
Representing "wisdom," Number 04, Pythagoras.
Representing "violence," Number 05, Atlas.
Representing "greed," Number 06, York.
There was a mysterious connection between these six clones. Just by Number 06, York, eating and drinking, the other clones could maintain their peak state.
"Is this Queen's doing?"
"Can't be certain, but it's suspected to be Queen. These are some combat scenes recorded by CP0. Please take a look."
The assistant beside him turned on a nearby screen, showing scenes of Genesect fighting Judge with Yamato, secretly recorded by CP0 before their operation.
Watching the transformed Genesect, Pythagoras' eyes sparkled with interest. He had researched shape-memory metal before, but it was not perfect. As Judge mentioned before, it was a material obtained merely through trial and error that could barely be used.
But from Genesect's performance, it was evident that this was a more perfected technology.
Complex instruments began to analyze the metal fragments, but ultimately found nothing. This wasn't any known metal, and the failure of the instruments only raised Pythagoras's spirits.
"Interesting, interesting. So, Queen has already touched upon this field? Leave, don't disturb me. I have no time for you guys from now on."
Vegapunk's clone almost completely disregarded them, dismissing the assistant and picking up a brand new device to continue his research.
While Vegapunk researched how Arceus Steel came to be, Yamato and Queen arrived near Beast Island.
This island was called Beast Island not because of its varied wild beasts, but because of its unique trees. These trees grew in completely irregular patterns, each one resembling a beast carving.
The peak of the mountain at the center of the island looked like the head of an unknown wild beast from a distance, hence the name Beast Island.
And at the center of the island, the Donquixote Family had been waiting for two days.
This kind of long-distance trade couldn't be timed precisely; only a rough estimate could be planned. But, at this moment, Doflamingo was having an uneasy feeling.
"Trebol, what day was it when that old lady caught up with us last time?"
"Three months ago. Doffy, she hasn't been able to track us down in these three months."
Doflamingo tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair, his expression grim. Previously, Tsuru had stuck to him like a plaster, impossible to shake off no matter what he did. Even after changing bases, within half a month, she would show up at his doorstep.
Someone was deliberately leaking his whereabouts, but he didn't know who.
"Doffy, Corazon also left exactly three months ago."
"Hopefully, Vergo can speed things up. He'd better climb to a high enough position quickly and find out who this person really is."
"I understand. But Doffy, are we really going to just give these two Devil Fruits away for free? The regular one is fine, but the Ancient Zoan..."
Seeing that Doflamingo didn't want to dwell on the traitor's issue, Trebol quickly changed the topic.
Pointing at the two Devil Fruits on the table, Trebol felt a bit reluctant. These were the goods they had brought for trade with the Beasts Pirates: Zoan-type • Elephant-Elephant Fruit • Model: Elephant and Zoan-type • Elephant-Elephant Fruit • Ancient Zoan • Model: Mammoth.
The ordinary Elephant-Elephant Fruit was nothing special, but the Ancient Zoan was quite important to them.
"Fuffuffuffu, Trebol, don't be so small-minded. They are the Beasts Pirates. Whether in the New World or the Underworld, they are like overlords. As long as we can establish a connection with them, we'll gain even more.
A little sacrifice is nothing. As long as we succeed, it will all be worth it."
