Chapter 499: Locking in a Small Dark Room

"This Ark of yours is not bad."

Zhang Jie looked at Enel beside him and praised sincerely.

For a dangerous element like Enel, he naturally does not feel at ease handing him over to others to look after,

so he simply used a part of the Black God suit to imprison him and look after him personally.

Being able to build a wonder-level giant ship like the Ark Maxim, Enel is a tyrant,

but definitely not a muddled or mediocre ruler without ability.

"Hmph!

If I had the complete Ark in hand, you would definitely not be this god's opponent!"

Enel's face was full of dissatisfaction.

It's just that his pale, bloodless face after wearing Seastone made his words not have such high persuasiveness.

"You are just not seeing reality clearly."

Zhang Jie shook his head.

The Ark Maxim is not bad, it has a sense of high technology beyond the era, but this does not mean it is invincible.

Even if it is Pluton, which was called together with Poseidon and Uranus eight hundred years ago, and represents the highest technological crystallization of the Ancient Kingdom,

wasn't it also buried in history by the World Government?

Whether a weapon is strong or not depends on the person using it.

Take the Ark Maxim in front of you, without the Rumble-Rumble Fruit as the energy and weapon system,

it is just a pile of scrap iron that cannot fly and a piece of fish meat waiting to be slaughtered.

The Ark Maxim, to put it bluntly, actually does not have much high technology,

it is actually a specialized device for releasing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability.

What is strong is not the Ark Maxim, nor Enel as a person, but the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

"Kid, I'll give you a chance, get on my ship, and I can give you the position of First Mate."

Zhang Jie still could not let go of the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so he decided to give Enel one more chance.

"Heh."

"Have you ever seen a god who becomes someone else's subordinate?"

Enel sneered and turned his head away in disdain.

"Kid, do you think I have no way to deal with you?"

Zhang Jie waved his hand, and the Black God suit turned into countless black nanoparticles, wrapping Enel up.

The moment his head was wrapped, Enel only felt as if he had fallen into the legendary abyss of nothingness;

there was no sound here, no images, and not even a sense of touch,

there was only his own breathing and his heartbeat, which was gradually becoming clearer.

An indescribable loneliness and desolation surged into his heart.

"Hmph! You want to make this god submit with such petty tricks? Don't even think about it!"

Although a little panic rose in his heart, Enel still insisted on cheering himself up.

"I want to see how long you can hold out."

Zhang Jie looked at Enel, who had turned into a black cocoon, with great interest.

Faced with Enel's non-violent non-cooperation, he directly brought out the "solitary confinement" method from the military,

which makes countless soldiers with iron wills tremble with fear.

He wanted to see how long Enel could keep a stiff upper lip in this "little black room" where there was nothing above and nothing below.

"Next is to deal with this giant ship."

Zhang Jie began to ponder how to handle the Ark Maxim.

He finally came up with an idea that seemed a bit wasteful—that is, to dismantle it!

This giant ship, whether in its composition or its propulsion method, was prepared for Enel, or rather, for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit;

it was not that compatible with his own power system, and keeping it would just be a decoration.

Rather than that, it would be better to dismantle it and integrate the materials inside,

as well as the unique technological crystals, into his Black God to strengthen it.

After all, the Black God was the vehicle he built based on his own power system, making it the most suitable for him.

"It's decided then."

Zhang Jie looked at the Ark Maxim, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Buzz, Master, the Black God has arrived to report to you."

Having received his order, the Black God soon maneuvered the Black God to arrive.

"Send him to the prison cell."

Zhang Jie granted the Black God level-two control permissions for Enel's cocoon.

"Buzz, understood."

Under the control of the Black God, the tightly closed door of a cabin located in the belly of the Black God swung open with a boom,

and Enel's cocoon disappeared inside, with no light leaking out.

Inside was a prison Zhang Jie had specially built for high-level prisoners,

where the walls were built with overlapping layers of Seastone and high-strength alloy,

ensuring that as long as one was not a physical combat monster like Garp, they could not escape.

Even if they encountered a pure physical combat monster like Garp who was not restrained by Seastone,

the moment they broke through, it would trigger the prison's final measure—detaching from the Black God,

and detonating the annihilation bomb buried inside, destroying the entire prison cell, including the prisoner.

With various restraint methods, Zhang Jie could pat his chest and guarantee

that even the World Government's Impel Down, used to deter the world and house a group of the world's most vicious criminals and pirates,

only surpassed the prison cell he built in terms of scale.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

In the Fleet Admiral's office, stacks upon stacks of documents were piled on the desk.

Nearby, that goat that eats documents leisurely chewed up the last piece of top-secret document paper in its mouth and swallowed it.

"I didn't expect the legendary City of Gold, Shandora, to actually exist."

At this moment, what Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha held in his hand was not a top-secret document, but a newspaper.

The front-page headline of the newspaper was written in bold, large letters:

"Warlord of the Sea Zhang Jie has found the legendary City of Gold, Shandora, on Jaya Island!"

"Noland was not a liar or a big fraud, but a great explorer!"

The publisher of the newspaper was naturally the World Economic News, run by that "Big News" Morgans, who spent his days staring at big news

and always wanted to create a big story that would shock the world.

"Noland was not a liar..."

Sengoku's gray beard twitched, and he suddenly felt a bit emotional.

He was naturally no stranger to the fairy tale "The Liar Noland,"

which was widely circulated in the North Blue and had been heard by almost every child.

"Sengoku, this Warlord of the Sea of ours is really unable to stay quiet!

It hasn't been long, and he's already created such a big news story that's famous throughout the sea."

Marine Great Staff Officer Vice Admiral Tsuru looked closely at Zhang Jie's sunny and cheerful portrait in the news and said meaningfully.

"Ara ara."

Sengoku stroked his beard and smiled, being very tolerant of Zhang Jie's actions:

"Young people, they are full of vigor; it's normal to want to be famous throughout the sea."

"If he can focus his energy on treasure hunting and exploration, it's better than him recruiting troops, building a great fleet,

and participating in the struggle for the sea, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic."

"I'm just afraid that he isn't able to endure loneliness that well."

Vice Admiral Tsuru narrowed her wise eyes and reached out in the office,

drawing a line on the world geography and situation map hanging on the wall.

Sengoku, who had fought in the Grand Line for many years, immediately saw what Vice Admiral Tsuru had drawn,

and the smile on his face faded: "This is a shipping route?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded: "Yes, this is a shipping route,

it is precisely the route our Warlord of the Sea took after leaving Totto Land."

Sengoku's expression became solemn: "He didn't stop at any islands along the way, which means..."
