The Pirate Garen - #449 - Chapter 444 Mining
Wano Country, Kailou Stone Mine.
With Ace and Tiki on board, Lei Ya and the others entered the Hailou Stone Mine without hindrance.
The Alliance fighters at the checkpoints along the way not only did not stop them, but also accompanied them all the way.
This is not because their prestige is really so useful, but because Galen has already called the responsible cadre of the mine to tell the guards not to stop Ace and Tiki.
If it wasn’t for fear of revealing flaws, Galen even wanted to send someone to bury a few more kryptonite in the soil, so as not to make the CP0 agent friends dig too hard.
So, under Galen’s secret care, the CP0 agents arrived at the Hailou Stone Mine, which was strictly blocked by Galen.
“Mr. Kuroda?”
The mine worker leading the way asked Lei Ya:
“Which mine were your brothers buried in?”
Kaido’s business is doing very well, but he has shown the ugliest side of a capitalist, even refusing to pay his employees’ wages, which are just a drop in the bucket.
Those who mine here are all free slaves.
Their living environment is extremely harsh, and it is difficult to even have enough food at ordinary times. Those who are less healthy will basically die in overdrawn heavy physical labor within two years.
The overseers of the Beasts Pirates never regarded slaves as human beings, so they would not spend time and effort burying those dead slave laborers properly.
The corpses of the slaves were basically discarded by the overseers in an abandoned tunnel in the mine. As time went by, they gradually turned into bones in the dark underground, and were eventually forgotten forever.
With such a background, Lei Ya’s story is very convincing.
“In which mine”
Lei Ya hesitated for a while, then observed the surrounding environment again:
Hailoushi Mine is not just a mountain, but a large group of mountains producing Hailoushi minerals.
The mountains of these mountains are covered with deep mines, and you can see dozens of mine entrances that look very similar in appearance, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish.
However, Lei Ya and the others saw the mine they wanted to enter at a glance:
It was a mine whose entrance had been blown down, and there was still a long cordon at the entrance, with a prominent sign saying “no approaching”.
Obviously, this is the mine where the evil king dug out kryptonite and was later blown up and blocked by Galen.
“It’s there.”
Lei Ya pointed at the mine without changing his face and said:
“Back then, those overseers buried my brothers in that mine.”
“this”
The mine staff was embarrassed for a while: “This place has been completely blocked.”
“Why?”
Ace asked curiously.
“this.”
The staff struggled for a moment, but in the end they didn’t hide the secret that everyone in Dahai probably knew:
“This mine is where kryptonite is produced.”
“For the safety of our Lord Garen, we cannot allow strangers to enter.”
“Kryptonite?”
Ace froze slightly.
He had also heard about the legend of kryptonite in Wano country in the past few days, and knew that it was a special mineral that could restrain Galen.
“Can’t you accommodate?”
Lei Ya pretended that he hadn’t heard the word kryptonite, but just wiped the man’s tears from the corner of his eyes, creating a very sad atmosphere:
“My brothers have been in that dark corner for more than ten years!”
Lei Ya was very involved in the performance, and the attitude of the staff became more and more entangled.
And Ace was even more moved to tears, and has been trying his best to stand up for Lei Ya and help Lei Ya persuade the staff.
On the other hand, Tiqi, who kept silent and just pretended to be a good old man with a smirk, narrowed his eyes slightly, and understood the intention of Lei Ya and others:
“I see.”
“They all came for kryptonite!”
Tiqi himself is an acting master who has pretended to be a good person for half his life. He has been faintly aware of the strangeness since he first came into contact with Lei Ya and others.
Now that Lei Ya and the others were aiming at the kryptonite production area, Tiqi immediately saw through their true intentions hidden under the harmless appearance, and directly deduced their identities:
“Nine out of ten of these guys are members of the World Government. Moreover, their strength is definitely not weak!”
If it wasn’t for the instigation of the world government behind it, if it wasn’t for a strong man with top strength, no one would dare to go deep into the enemy’s territory at this critical moment of the war and steal kryptonite under Galen’s nose.
Even Tiki, who hated Galen so much that he gritted his teeth and dreamed of stabbing Galen twice every day, never thought of taking the risk of stealing this kind of stone for revenge after he knew about kryptonite.
Because Teach is a smart man, he knows how dangerous this thing is.
The evil king also got kryptonite at the beginning, and even successfully attacked Galen, but didn’t he die in Galen’s hands without any resistance?
His ambition is completely dead, there is no need to put his life in it for the sake of hatred.
but
If the world government wants to use this kryptonite to trouble Galen, Tiqi is also happy to see it.
So, Tiqi, who had seen through everything, still deliberately pretended not to know, just continued to pretend to be that good old man, and helped Ace and Lei Ya talk.
Under the persuasion of “Dragon Slaying Warrior” Tiqi, the staff member was finally persuaded:
“good”
“I’ll ask our commander for instructions.”
The cadres in charge of the mine had been notified in advance by Galen, and the result of the request was naturally to allow the release.
Moreover, it seems that because of the great face of Ace and Tiqi, this cadre specially showed 100% trust, and ordered Lei Ya and others to dig in the mine without even monitoring monitor.
“Very good!”
Lei Ya put on a moved look, and specially bowed to Ace and Tiki to thank him:
“Thank you two brothers for your help!”
“You have helped me so much, the next excavation work will not bother you two anymore.”
“In the future, if I have a chance, I will definitely invite the two of you to have a good drink.”
On the surface, he expressed his thanks, but he was actually implying that Ace and Tiki, who had no use value, left as soon as possible, so as not to hinder their treasure hunt in the mine.
And the thoughtful Tiqi also understood Lei Ya’s implication.
Tiqi just wanted to sit back and watch the world government find trouble with Galen. He never thought of getting too involved in this matter, so he deliberately pretended not to know and laughed boldly:
“Hahaha good!”
“Brother Lei Ya is digging here slowly, we will see you in the future!”
As he said that, Tiki wanted to take Ace away, the farther away from the place of right and wrong, the better.
Unfortunately, the helpful Ace thinks differently from Tiki:
“Let’s go now?”
“It’s all here, let’s help Lei Ya and the others dig together!”
Ace is a good person, as long as conditions permit, helping others has always been a blessing.
“No, no need”
Ace’s overzealousness made Lei Ya very embarrassed.
With the presence of outsiders, they will definitely not be able to hide the kryptonite when they dig out it.
According to the original plan of the CP0 agents, when they were digging under the mine, only the staff of the mine should be present.
Those ordinary people had no power to fight back, Lei Ya and others were able to deal with it, and took the kryptonite out silently after killing people.
By the time other people discovered the problem, they had already escaped for an unknown distance.
But now, Ace is getting in the way.
Although there is still a big gap between Ace and Tiqi in terms of strength and top agents, they are by no means the kind of little guys who can kill and kill people casually. Once something happens, Lei Ya will definitely let Lei Ya wait. People are exposed in advance.
“Hahaha”
Lei Ya smiled a bit reluctantly, he could only forcefully refuse and said:
“Brother Ace, you can leave at ease!”
“Your Majesty has delayed Brother Ace and Brother Titch for such a long time, how can I ask you to help me with these time-wasting physical work?”
“Where is this word?”
“It’s worth spending more time to collect the dead brother’s body.”
Ace’s enthusiasm for helping others can’t be stopped:
“Idle is idle”
“Let us help people to the end!”
As he said that, he also glanced at Tiqi with a smile:
“Really, Teach?”
“Forehead”
Tiki’s smile also became a little forced.
If you don’t follow along, it doesn’t match your good old personality.
Following in, he felt that 99% of the time he would be involved in a big trouble.
And with the revenge mentality of causing Galen some trouble, Tiqi didn’t want to reveal the true intentions of Lei Ya and others.
However, Tiqi is still secretly struggling.
Ace had already gone to get a mine shovel on his own, and was the first to rush to the mine that had been blown down, and dug out a black hole within half a minute.
“this”
Lei Ya and Tiqi hesitated for a while, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Ace in.
Although the mine is located underground, its internal space is very spacious, and even Bell’s monster-level body can easily accommodate it.
Ace is very motivated, and he has the effect of an excavator with one shovel.
Although Tiqi has no motivation, his physical fitness is there, and he can’t slow down even if he wants to.
And the CP0 agents are burdened with the deep expectations of the five old stars, and they work even harder when digging mines.
They deliberately stayed out of the sight of Ace and Teach to dig, hoping that they could dig out the kryptonite as soon as possible without the knowledge of Ace and Teach, and secretly hide the kryptonite and take it out.
Unfortunately, it may be because Ace’s face is relatively white.
No matter how other people dug, all they dug out were useless stones.
The one who can dig things up is always Ace.
“Thunder Fang!”
Holding the Nth corpse he dug out from the abandoned tunnel, Ace shouted excitedly to Lei Ya:
“I dug out another brother for you!”
“.”
Lei Fang was silent for a while.
Then, Lei Ya, whose tears had been used up in the high-intensity continuous performance, could only force himself to brew up his emotions, and cried while holding the white bone he didn’t even know tightly under Ace’s expectant eyes. snot:
“Brother, I’m late!”
“I, I’ll take you home right away!”
In this way, a group of people dug for a long time
Dozens of corpses of Lei Ya’s “brothers” were dug up, but the kryptonite he really wanted never appeared.
“hateful.”
Lei Ya tensed his face, whispering anxiously:
“Why hasn’t it shipped yet?”
“If this continues, the corpses in this mine will be dug up by me.”
As he said that, he wiped his red and swollen eyes from crying again, which was so swollen that he felt a little pain.
And at this moment, there was an exclamation from Ace:
“well?”
“What kind of stone is this? Why is it still glowing?”
As soon as the voice fell, a light green fluorescent light lit up in the dark mine.
A large piece of kryptonite, as tall as a person, just lay quietly in front of Ace, illuminating the tunnel brightly.
“Kryptonite!”
Several pairs of eyes were firmly fixed on Ace, each with a permeating green light.
