Wano Country, Hailou Stone Mine.

As soon as Ace and Titch came out, Lei Ya and the others entered the Hailou Stone Mine this time and it was really unimpeded.

The alliance fighters at the outposts along the way not only did not stop them, but also accompanied them all the way.

This wasn't because their prestige really worked, but because Galen had called the officials in charge of the mine to tell the guards not to stop Ace and Teach.

If it weren't for the fear of revealing a flaw, Galen would even want to send someone to bury a few more kryptonite in the soil, so as not to make CP0's agent friends dig too hard.

So, under Galen's covert care, the CP0 agents got the green light all the way to the Hailou Stone Mine, which was strictly sealed off by Galen.

"Mr. Kuroda?"

The mine staff who led the way asked Lei Ya:

"Which mine were your brothers buried in?"

Kaido's business is very big, but he shows the ugliest side of the capitalist, refusing to pay even the salary of employees, who are a fraction of the money for him.

The miners here are slaves who don't want money, and their living conditions are extremely harsh, and their health is a little worse, and they will die in overdraft heavy physical labor after barely two years.

The overseers of the Beast Pirates are so bad that the soles of their feet are pus, and they have never treated slaves as human beings, let alone bother to bury those dead slave laborers.

The corpses of slaves are almost always discarded by the overseers in an abandoned tunnel in the mines, reduced to bones in the darkness of the earth, and eventually forgotten forever.

With such a background, the story made up by Lei Ya is very convincing.

"In which mine..."

Lei Ya hesitated for a while, and then observed the surrounding environment:

Hailou Stone Mine is not just a mountain, but a large area of mountains that produce Hailou Stone minerals.

These mountains are covered with deep caves, and you can see dozens of similar-looking cave entrances at a casual glance, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish them.

However, Lei Ya and the others still saw the mine they wanted to enter at a glance:

It was a mine with a bombed entrance, and a long cordon was drawn at the entrance, with a conspicuous sign that read "No Approaching".

Obviously, this is the mine that the Wicked King dug up kryptonite and then blew up and sealed off by Galen.

"That's it."

Lei Ya pointed to the mine without changing his face and said:

"Back then, those overseers buried my brothers in that mine."

"This..."

The mine staff was puzzled: "This place has been completely cordoned off. ”

"Why?"

Ace asked with some curiosity.

"This..."

The staff struggled for a moment, and finally did not hide the secret that is estimated to be known to everyone in the sea:

"This mine is where kryptonite is produced."

"For the safety of our Lord Galen, we can't let strangers in."

"Kryptonite?"

Ace was slightly stunned.

He had also heard the legend of kryptonite in the past few days in Wano Country, and knew that it was a special mineral that could restrain Galen.

"Can't you be accommodating?"

Lei Ya didn't hear the word kryptonite at all, but just wiped the man's tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, creating a very sad atmosphere:

"My brothers have been... I've been in that dark corner for more than a decade! ”

Lei Ya acted very devotedly, 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 convince the staff.

And Titch, who had been not speaking on the side, just smirking and pretending to be a good man, narrowed his eyes slightly, and understood the intention of Lei Ya and the others:

"I see..."

"They're all here for kryptonite!"

Titch himself is an acting master who has pretended to be a good person for half his life, and he has been faintly aware of the abnormality since he first came into contact with Lei Ya and others.

Now seeing that the destination of Thunder Tooth and the others is directly to the source of kryptonite, Titch immediately sees through their true intentions hidden under a harmless appearance, and directly deduces their identities:

"Nine times out of ten, these guys are people from the world government. Moreover, their strength is definitely not weak! ”

If it weren't for the instigation of the world government behind him, if it weren't for the top strength of the powerhouse, no one would dare to go deep into the enemy territory at such a critical moment when a big war was imminent, and run under Galen's nose to steal kryptonite.

Even Titch, who gritted his teeth with hatred for Galen and wanted to stab Galen twice in his dreams every day, never thought of risking to steal this stone for revenge after knowing such a thing as kryptonite.

Because Titch is a smart man, he knows how dangerous this can be.

The Evil King also got the kryptonite at the beginning, and even successfully raided Galen, and in the end, didn't he die at Galen's hands without resistance?

His ambition is completely dead, and there is no need to put his life into it for the sake of hatred.

But...

If the World Government wanted to use this kryptonite to trouble Galen, Titch would be happy to see it.

So, Titch, who had seen through everything, still deliberately pretended not to know, but continued to pretend to be the good old man and help Ace and Rayya talk.

Under the persuasion of "Dragon Slayer Warrior" Titch, the staff member was finally moved:

"Good..."

"I'll ask our chief for instructions."

The cadres in charge of managing the mine had been informed in advance by Galen, and the result of the request was naturally to allow the release.

Moreover, it seems that because Ace and Tiqi have a big face, this cadre also specially showed ten out of ten trust, and ordered Lei Ya and others to dig in the mine, and they didn't even need to be monitored.

"Great!"

Lei Ya put on a touched look, and specially bowed to Ace and Titch to thank him:

"Thank you two brothers for your help!"

"You've helped me so much, and the next digging work won't bother you two anymore."

"If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely invite the two of you to have a good drink."

On the surface, he was thanking him, but he was actually suggesting that Ace and Tichy, who had no use value, should leave quickly, so as not to hinder their treasure hunt in the mine.

And the thoughtful Titch also understood Thundertooth's off-string sound.

Titch just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the world government find trouble with Galen, and never thought to be too involved in this matter, so he deliberately pretended to laugh out loud and unaware:

"Hahaha... Good! ”

"Brother Thunder Tooth is digging slowly here, and we will meet again in the future!"

With that, Titch wanted to leave with Ace, and the farther away from the land of right and wrong, the better.

Unfortunately, the helpful Ace thought differently from Teach:

"That's leaving?"

"It's all here, let's help Raya and them dig together!"

Ace is a good person, as long as the conditions allow, helping others has always been to send Buddha to the West.

"No, no..."

Ace's enthusiasm was too much, which made Rayya very embarrassed.

There are outsiders present, and when the time comes, they will definitely not be able to hide the kryptonite.

According to the original plan of the CP0 agents, when they were mining under the mine, they should only be accompanied by the mine's staff.

Those ordinary people have no power to fight back, Lei Ya and the others can solve it by dividing it by two, and take the kryptonite out silently after killing people.

By the time the others found out about the problem, they had already escaped and didn't know how far they had gone.

But now, Ace is a horizontal stick.

Although there is still a big gap between Ace and Titch's strength and the top agents, they are by no means the kind of minions who can kill people casually.

"Hahaha..."

Lei Ya smiled a little reluctantly, and could only refuse with a forced smile:

"Brother Ace, you can leave with confidence!"

"I've been delaying Brother Ace and Brother Tiqi for so long, so why am you embarrassed to ask you to help me do these time-wasting physical work?"

"Where is that?"

"It's worth the extra time to collect the bodies of your dead brothers."

Ace's enthusiasm for helping others can't be stopped:

"Idle is idle..."

"Let's help people to the end!"

As he spoke, he smiled and glanced at Titch:

"Really, Titch?"

"Uh..."

Titch's smile also became a little forced.

If you don't follow in, it doesn't match your own good person's personality.

Following, he felt that nine out of ten of himself would be involved in a big trouble.

And with the revenge mentality of causing some trouble to Galen, Titch didn't want to expose the true intentions of Rayya and the others.

However, Titch is still secretly struggling...

Ace had already gone to get a shovel on his own, and rushed to the mine that had been blown up first, and it didn't take half a minute to dig the entrance to a black hole.

"This..."

Rayya and Titch hesitated for a while, and finally had to follow Ace in.

...............................................

Although the mine is located underground, its interior is so vast that it can easily accommodate even Bell's monster-sized size.

Ace was full of energy, and one person and one shovel did the effect of an excavator.

Tiki doesn't have much motivation, but his physicality is there, and he can't slow down if he wants to.

And the CP0 agents are burdened with the deep expectations of the five old stars, and they work even harder to dig up the mines.

They deliberately stayed out of Ace and Tyki's line of sight to dig, hoping that they could dig out the kryptonite as soon as possible without Ace and Tyki's knowledge, and secretly hide the kryptonite and take it out.

It's a pity, maybe it's because Ace's face is whiter...

No matter how others dig it, it's all useless stones.

It's always Ace who can dig things up.

"Thunderfang!"

Ace hugged the Nth skeleton he had dug up from the abandoned tunnel, and shouted to Thunder Fang excitedly:

"I've dug up another brother for you!"

“......”

Thundertooth was silent for a while.

Then, Lei Fang, whose tears had been used up in the high-intensity continuous performance, could only force his emotions to brew up, and cried bitterly in Ace's expectant gaze, hugging the white bone he didn't even recognize:

"Brother, I'm late!"

"I—I'll take you home!"

In this way, the group dug for a long, long time...

Dozens of corpses of Rayya's "brothers" were dug up, but the kryptonite he really wanted never appeared.

"Damn..."

Lei Ya's face tightened, and he whispered anxiously:

"Why hasn't it been shipped yet?"

"If this continues, the corpses in this mine will be dug up by Lao Tzu..."

As he spoke, he wiped his red and swollen eyes from crying, which were so swollen that he felt a little painful.

And at this moment, an exclamation came from Ace's side:

"Huh?"

"What kind of stone is this? How can it still glow? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a pale green fluorescence lit up in the dark cavern.

A large kryptonite that was enough to be tall for a man lay quietly in front of Ace, illuminating the tunnel transparently.

"Kryptonite!"

At this moment, several pairs of eyes were fixed on Ace, each with a green glow.
