Chapter 205 History
Gel sat on Wilbur's shoulders and returned to Shandora, cursing all the way.
When Captain Gel saw the mountains of gold in the central square, he was resurrected with full health.
These days, all the people of Shandia, young and old, have gone out to help collect gold. Everyone wants to contribute their efforts to offer this thank-you gift to Lord Gel.
"Captain, most of Shandora's gold is here."
Senior, with a tired look on his face, walked towards Ger and spoke excitedly.
Senior, who rose from a small gangster to a cadre, knew very well the importance of money to a team. If he could bring the gold back to Qinghai, it would definitely be a huge fortune that would shock the whole world.
Finding the legendary great treasure wouldn't necessarily mean so much money, right? He was happy for his captain from the bottom of his heart.
After saying this, Senior took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The Shandians and some of the Sky Islanders who came to help could only help collect the relatively smaller pieces of gold, while the large pieces had to be carried by him alone.
These past few days, Senio has been transporting gold day and night. Fortunately, the Animal-type Fruit is indeed hard-working, otherwise he would have been exhausted long ago. Senio feels that if he works for a few more days, as long as he doesn't die of exhaustion, the ancient bloodline of the Devil Fruit will be awakened.
"Thank you for your hard work. It's my fault. I should have kept Weibull to help you."
Gel patted Senior's shoulder and apologized sincerely.
"It's not hard, Captain. I think what you said before is right. It is true that animal-type devil fruits are easier to break through the physical limit when one is overdrawn. I feel that I have made rapid progress in the past few days!"
I didn't expect that Senior's ideological awareness was so high. Gel didn't treat him as a human being anymore. He smiled and said:
"In that case, I'd like to trouble you to cut off the giant golden pillars used for decoration on the golden bell. Uh, it's such a waste. Just leave the main body of the bell to them."
"Okay Captain!"
Senior immediately took the order and left, while Gel also began to put the gold piled up like a mountain in the square into the system space.
It's the same work, but for this job, Geer not only doesn't feel tired, but becomes more and more enthusiastic as he works!
"Hahaha, the Celestial Dragons are nothing. From today on, I am the richest man in the world!"
Captain Gul was swimming in the pile of gold, laughing heartily. The people around him covered their faces in embarrassment, not wanting to see the captain's smug look.
Soon, all the gold in the square, including the four large gold cylinders removed from the golden clock, which were thirty or forty meters long and required several people to hug, were collected by Gel into the space.
Stay safe.
A casual glance showed that it occupied more than 2,000 cubic meters of space and its value should be over 100 million.
(Give me some face and don't get too hung up on it. According to the actual size in the anime, the volume of a single pillar must be two to three thousand cubic meters. The Straw Hat Seven Waters sell a bag of gold for 3 million. That means Shandora must have tens of trillions or even hundreds of trillions of gold, which is equivalent to the wealth of one or two hundred Golden Emperors. It's a bit exaggerated. The financial system collapsed on the spot.)
Gel chose a luxurious large gold ring inlaid with a fingernail-sized ruby and wore it on the index finger of his right hand to show his current wealth.
"Hehehe, it's only one trillion. It's not a lot. It's just enough to pay the world government's tax revenue for several years."
Of course, this is just a number on paper. In reality, if so much gold is really put into the market, the price of gold will definitely fall to an unreasonable level. Fortunately, Gel has a system to exchange the necessary materials without any discount.
Gel was somewhat curious about how Tesoro, with a net worth of 5000 billion, could claim to control 20% of the world's wealth. It was really hard to justify it.
It would be more reasonable to say 20% of the currency in circulation. Or, the outside world is just unilaterally claiming that he controls 20% of the world's gold. After all, it is impossible to accurately count how much gold there is in the world. Tesoro may be the person who apparently controls the most gold. Therefore, it is reasonable to conservatively estimate that he has 1/5 of the world's gold.
"Da da da!"
Gel walked down the golden bell tower step by step, and finally stopped beside the main text of history. He looked at the words that Roger asked His Highness the Fool to leave behind, and thought to himself that he should learn from Roger and leave something behind to pretend.
Seeing the current one reading the whispers left by the predecessor, the ship's doctor Kurokas came over. Seeing that there were only Akin, Senior, the three giants and the new young man around, and that everyone present was their own people on the ship, he smiled and asked:
"Captain, do you know what this line says?"
"What? Old man, do you want to test me? How could this be difficult for someone as wise, intelligent, and wealthy as me?"
Gel turned to look at Kurokas, touched his nose, and said with a confident smile:
"I came here to guide this article to the final destination! Gol D. Roger."
"Hehe, that's right."
Kulokas was stunned. After listening to Captain Geer's interpretation of the historical text, he knew that he must be bragging. He thought that the captain would ask him for advice, but he didn't expect Geer to directly give the correct answer. Kulokas asked curiously:
"Captain, you can really read this ancient text? Why then..."
"Ah? Are you asking why we misinterpret the contents of this historical text?"
Gel admitted nonchalantly, and except for Weeble, the others also moved closer with interest and listened attentively.
"Old man, when you interpreted the truth recorded on this stone tablet, it was about ancient weapons, right?"
Kurokas nodded in affirmation.
"That thing has nothing to do with the Shandians and Sky Islanders, or is there any use for them to know the true content?"
"Well, but isn't the truth of this 100-year historical gap very important?"
Kurokus frowned even more.
"History is important, but what good is knowing it? Why have I never thought of asking you what is on Raftel? Because to me, it doesn't matter what the great treasure is. Even if these so-called historical texts record the truth of the lost 100 years of history, and really reveal what conspiracy and trickery the World Government used to rule the world, and can prove that the Celestial Dragons did not come to power legitimately, so what? Would those people in the World Government be so ashamed that they would commit suicide to apologize and give up the ruling power?"
"this..."
Kurokas was speechless for a moment. It seemed to be true, but that was not right. Why did the captain know all this so clearly?
