With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

After hearing about the blank hundred years from Zell's mouth, Dr. Clover took him to a secret room.

"Are you from the World Government?"

Dr. Clover asked in a flat tone.

"No, the World Government won't say a word to you if they send someone here."

"Our exploration of the blank hundred years is still in the preparation stage. How did you know this?"

"I said I can see the future, do you believe it?"

Zell gave Dr. Clover a slightly mysterious smile.

"The future? We explore the past in order to reach the future."

Dr. Clover's eyes became firm.

"But the past you explore has no future."

"Really? The past shouldn't be buried. The world is regressing, and human wisdom is being erased. Someone must restore history!"

"Even if it means sacrificing yourself for it?"

"Even if it means sacrifice!"

Dr. Clover's firm words moved Zell.

There is never a shortage of firm wills in the world. O'Hara's will cannot be destroyed by artillery fire. History will shine again on the ruins.

"Doctor, you are great."

Zell sighed sincerely.

"I know what the future holds, and you know it too."

Zelda paused.

“If the future does come, I hope you can survive.”

Zell left the secret room without saying anything more.

After leaving, Zell found Hurley and picked up Pikachu, who had fallen asleep from boredom.

"How was the harvest?"

"If I can find the right metal, I can start making nano armor!"

Hurley seemed very excited and looked at Zel with shining eyes.

Zel already has an idea about the metal material used to make the armor. He will go to Magnetic Island in the Grand Line to see if he can find the Swallow-Swallow Fruit.

Letting Hurley stay and continue studying, Zel took Pikachu to look for the devil fruit on the system map.

In the village on O'Hara, Vilia was shopping on the street with a little boar on her head and a fire dinosaur beside her.

"Charmeleon, what kind of gift do you think Captain Zell would like?"

Vilia is actually very grateful and likes Zel.

But she also knew that her sister Villian was a navigator, Deli was a fighter, Kelly was a cook, and Hurley was a scientist, so she was the only one who was useless.

So she planned to buy a gift for Zel to make up for her image in Zel's heart.

"roar~"

The Charmeleon hid its claws behind its back, then swung them out, making a knife-swinging motion.

"A knife? Good idea!"

Vilia picked up the Fire Dinosaur and spun it around.

Soon, Vilia visited all the weapon shops on the island. However, they were all ordinary knives, and she knew what they were even if she didn't know much about them.

Just when she was disappointed, a fifty-year-old man ran into the weapons store where they were holding an iron box.

"Old York, look at this knife of mine. I found it in a ruin. It's definitely a good knife!"

Velia, who hadn't left yet, moved her ears and was attracted over.

"Carshilton, you brought the ruins' stuff to me again, and you don't have money for drinks again?"

"I can't bear to see the sacred weapon buried underground, so I want it to reappear in the world."

Old York didn't believe what Carston said at all, and this was not the first time.

Carshilton is alone and drinks every day. He likes to drink high-end goods and is often so poor that he has to sell weapons from the ruins.

But sometimes there are good knives, and Old York is happy to take them.

When he opened the iron box, he found a rusty long knife inside.

Seeing that Old York looked unhappy, Carston quickly explained that this must be a good knife, otherwise you would have to chop it with a knife.

Old York was skeptical and took a knife from the weapon rack.

Hold one in each hand and chop hard.

"Bah!"

The two knives collided, and the knife in the store was directly cut into a gap.

"Well, the steel used in this knife is very high-grade and well-made. At least it was a good and sharp knife before."

"But it must have suffered some major trauma, otherwise it wouldn't have rusted."

Old York examined the long knife.

"Three million Baileys, will you sell it?"

"400 million Baileys!"

"Three and a half million is the most!"

"Three million six hundred thousand, I'll buy this knife!"

At this time, Vilia, who had been watching for a long time, spoke.

"Little girl, you are so unkind!"

Old York, who was about to get angry, saw that it was a little girl, so he could only touch the girl's head with few hairs and said with a bitter face.

It doesn't matter who Carsten Hilton sells to, of course he'll choose the one with the highest bid.

Vilia was also a little embarrassed, so she could only blink her big eyes and look at Old York pitifully.

"Uncle, I really want this knife. Can you give it to me?"

Old York is an easygoing person, otherwise Carshilton wouldn't come to him every time.

Old York couldn't resist the little girl's request.

"Alright alright."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Vilia smiled sweetly at Old York.

"roar~"

The Charmeleon echoed his master.

As for the little boar, it looked like it was asleep in the eyes of others.

After spending 360 million, Vilia didn't feel any pain at all, as she used to be a person who spent money lavishly.

Although Zel only gave each person 300 million Beli, Vilia still had her own small treasury.

Zell often gave them money for shopping, millions each time, so except for Hurley who was a big spender, everyone else had a lot of Baileys.

Meanwhile, in another part of the island.

Zell brought Pikachu to a tall tree, and high up in the tree was a Devil Fruit that was as colorful as a rainbow.

"Pikachu, help me get the fruit."

The Pikachu on his shoulder yawned as he obeyed. He then used Lightning Flash to climb to the top of the tree, cut the roots with another Iron Tail, and descended holding the Devil Fruit. Finally, he inserted his Iron Tail into the tree trunk, slid down to the bottom, and somersaulted onto Zel's shoulder.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu was very satisfied with his smooth operation and asked Zel for praise.

"Good job, Pikachu."

Zell didn't act pretentiously and patted Pikachu's head.

"Pika~Pika."

Pikachu cried out in comfort twice.

Zell took the Devil Fruit and found that it was not the same as the Hana-Hana-no-Mikoto he remembered.

The fruit of the flower is pink, just like the blooming petals.

But this devil fruit is colorful and as bright as crystal.

Zell was prepared for the fact that the Hana-Hana Fruit was not on O'Hara.

Devil Fruits have wills and they choose their own masters.

Perhaps soon after, the Hana-Hana Fruit was brought to O'Hara by a ship and eventually eaten by young Robin.

After handing the devil fruit over to the system for retrieval, Zel left. This was the only devil fruit O'Hara could detect.

………………

Malinvandor, Naval Headquarters.

"Report!"

The messenger entered the Marshal's office.

"Marshal Kong, the Bloodstained Swordsman and his group were discovered in O'Hara."

"Notify Zefa and have him go to O'Hara immediately to recruit the Blood-stained Swordsman."

"Yes!"
