Chapter 396 The Thief of the Century

Chapter 396 The Thief of the Century

The world government was outraged.

Above the holy land of Mariejoia, several terrifying auras were clearly visible, and black and red lightning intertwined and spread in the air.

It seemed to form a big net, covering the entire holy land.

The oppressive atmosphere makes one breathless.

At the first opportunity, Wulaoxing issued an order for the government and the navy to jointly form a special investigation team to investigate this extremely egregious theft of gold from the sky.

And given unimaginable rights, second only to the Five Old Stars, even the Navy Marshal must cooperate fully.

The first step is to explore the treasure trove of the other eleven heavenly gold transport ships.

At the same time, extra manpower will be sent to protect the other Tianshangjin transport ships. Something may happen to other Tianshangjin.

The nearby naval branch sent people to the location of the transport ship explosion.

Rescue the casualties injured by the explosion.

At the same time, the sunken treasure trove will be dragged up.

It took a few days to transport it back to Hong Kong.

At this time, the Red Harbor gathered the navy and the world government's big bosses.

All eyes are on these treasure troves.

So far, the other sky gold transport ships have arrived at the Red Port one after another. Fortunately, nothing happened.

Things were just as they thought, twelve destroyed transport ships, the treasure troves inside were empty and contained nothing.

This is bad news.

The transport ship was destroyed, the warships were affected, and the soldiers who died due to the explosion also included important officials of the alliance countries.

The loss is simply unimaginable.

What's worse is that now they don't even know who stole the heavenly gold.

The investigation team immediately arranged for people to collect the wreckage of the transport ship after the explosion.

The sea was so rough that the wreckage of the transport ship had drifted to unknown places, and some even sank to the bottom of the sea.

It took a full month and an unknown amount of manpower and material resources to collect only a small part of the wreckage of the transport ship.

Obviously, even if you look there with a microscope, you can't find any traces of the thieves.

There were only a few remnants of the bomb, only tiny fragments, and it was difficult to tell what kind of bomb it was and where it came from.

Unfortunately, even the location of the bomb was not clear. The power of the bomb explosion was too terrifying, and the transport ship was completely destroyed.

Who would have thought that the bomb was placed in the mezzanine of the transport ship.

In this position, if you want to install it, you must first destroy the mezzanine.

The only chance is to install the bomb on the transport ship during construction.

No matter how they searched, they couldn't find any clues that would help the investigation of the case.

The World Government even offered a reward of 100 million beli in the underground world for information about the gold thief in the sky.

Faced with the endless pressure behind them, the investigation team began to change the direction of the investigation. Since it could not be investigated externally, it would start investigating internally.

The construction of transport ships, as the person in charge of the transportation route insiders, and various related people.

This is a super major case involving a value of more than 60 billion Baileys of heavenly gold. In the absence of any favorable information, all objects that can be suspected must be suspected.

The members of the investigation team include top CP0 leaders of the World Government, as well as the current Navy Chief Staff Officer.

In other words, only internal crimes are most likely to steal the heavenly gold silently.

Even the Five Old Stars suspected that there was something wrong internally.

Of course, we don’t rule out whether there are some special Devil Fruit users.

After all, there is no sign of committing a crime internally, and the network of relationships that needs to be opened is too huge, so it is simply impossible.

Unless the mastermind is Wulaoxing.

This conclusion is impossible. As a world noble and already standing at the top of the world's power, how could the Five Old Stars do such a thing.

After the internal verification is completed, if there is really no problem, then it can only be a person with special abilities, or it may be a gang committing the crime.

However, even if such a result is obtained, it is useless. Wulaoxing's request is to find the thief and recover the lost heavenly gold.

This is related to the government's financial plan for the next year.

Without one-tenth of the heavenly gold, expenditures in all aspects will be reduced.

The navy's military spending will even be cut again as a result.

The government and the navy finally recovered and got back on track, but they did not expect such a thing to happen.

You must know that the New World trade routes were destroyed last year, which caused considerable losses to the World Government and the Navy, and also consumed a large amount of funds.

In particular, the navy took the initiative to start a war in order to clean up the pirates, and the loss of troops was even more heavy.

Now I still owe a lot of pensions that have not been paid.

It is difficult to increase the heavenly gold by 500 million beli every year. It seems that if this situation cannot be solved, the navy and the world government will definitely have a hard time.

No matter how much gold there is in the sky, 60% of it must be contributed to the Tianlong people.

This is a rule that has not changed for hundreds of years.

From the beginning, Heavenly Gold was an offering to the Celestial Dragons.

To be precise, it is given to nineteen Draconian families, and then each Draconian family uses part of the money to maintain the construction and operation of the world government.

Later, it felt like it was too troublesome, so the world government took 40% of the heavenly gold as government development funds instead.

The one-tenth of the heavenly gold that was stolen now cannot be counted among the Celestial Dragons, and can only be borne by the World Government itself.

Moreover, the share of heavenly gold has been reduced in recent years, coupled with the devaluation of Bailey, the world's nobles themselves have received a lot less heavenly gold.

During the Rocks period, he spent a lot of his own treasures to maintain the operation and rule of the World Government.

Some Tianlong families suffered heavy losses, with most of their assets plundered in the Valley of the Gods, or destroyed by the terrifying bombardment of the Heavenly King.

No matter what, I won't agree.

It is impossible for the Five Old Stars to pass this issue in the Celestial Dragon Council, and besides, they themselves are members of the Celestial Dragons.

The investigation team was working hard to search, patrolling the World Government like headless flies, and found a lot of rats, but they had nothing to do with this case.

It can only be determined that it was a mysterious organization. Twelve pieces of heavenly gold were stolen in a row. It must be a gang crime.

In a sense, they were right.

The news could not be blocked at all, and it quickly spread throughout the entire sea during this period.

The mysterious person or mysterious force who stole the heavenly gold was given the title "The Thief of the Century".

The impact was far-reaching and widespread. Each force, especially the king of the kingdom, strengthened their protective power over the treasure house.

Even the gold in the sky has been stolen. Can their kingdom's treasury stop this thief?

In the market, the price of Hailou Stone has doubled.

For those with special abilities, they must have a treasure house mixed with sea tower stones on all sides to be completely protected.
