It had to be admitted, rule-based abilities were truly unreasonable.
Yami originally thought this "fishing trip" would take a very long time.
He didn't know how many islands' worth of people would have their luck repeatedly absorbed by Baccarat.
But in the end, before the first round of luck was even exhausted, Yami found the anglerfish on the third day.
Just like finding Vander Decken IX by following his light, although the deep-sea region below the light-penetrating layer was just a patch of darkness to Yami's Clairvoyance and X-Ray Vision...
...if a light source suddenly appeared within the range of his Clairvoyance and X-Ray Vision, he could still see it.
In this world, many marine creatures are naturally bioluminescent, which is why it took Yami over a day to find Vander Decken IX.
But this time, Yami found the anglerfish with just one glance.
It couldn't be helped. The "lure" on that anglerfish's head was simply too big and too dazzling.
The lure alone was larger than the Pegasus.
After seeing the anglerfish, Yami immediately had Baccarat stop praying and had Carina and the girls stop ringing the Golden Bell.
Yami used his Clairvoyance and X-Ray Vision, and with a single teleport, brought the Pegasus inside the anglerfish's body.
Unlike other Sea Kings, this anglerfish not only had three stomachs, but due to its lure, it had its own light source, making it a mobile island existing within a Sea King.
"Inside the anglerfish?"
"I sense it. It's indeed an unbelievably huge Sea King, and it has three stomachs."
Hancock and the girls looked around, sizing up the anglerfish's stomach.
Carina and Nami released their top-tier Observation Haki, sensing the anglerfish's interior before speaking.
Immediately, Nami looked at Yami and said: "Master, in one of its other stomach spaces, I sense the presence of two living people. One of them looks like a scientist. Could it be the person who invented Pure Gold?"
"We'll know if we ask—ROOM!"
Yami opened his Ope-Ope "Room", enveloping all three of the anglerfish's stomachs, then whispered: "Shambles!"
The next second, two people and a piece of gold emitting a golden light appeared out of thin air in front of Yami's group.
"Ah!... Who are you?!"
"L-Living people... Are you also people who were eaten by the anglerfish?"
Looking at Yami's group, who had appeared out of thin air, Myskina Olga and Myskina Acier, father and daughter, didn't realize they had been teleported.
However, Carina and the girls' gazes weren't on them, but were fixed tightly on the Pure Gold, which was emitting a special light.
"...Is this the legendary Pure Gold?"
"What a special kind of gold. Can it really extend my life?"
Nami was the first to grab the floating Pure Gold, examining this item of longevity along with Carina and the other girls.
Even Hancock, who was usually disdainful and indifferent to people and things other than Yami, now excitedly moved closer to the Pure Gold, her face showing the same obsession as a miser finding treasure.
Women are the creatures who love beauty the most, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more she cares about her appearance.
Almost no woman doesn't fantasize about eternal youth, about being forever at her most beautiful.
But they also must accept reality: no one can stay young forever, and no one can stay beautiful forever.
Now, an item that could grant long life had appeared right in front of them. Hancock, known as the World's Most Beautiful Woman, was definitely the most excited and thrilled among them.
Unlike Carina and the girls, who only had eyes for the Pure Gold, Yami sized up the astonished Acier and his daughter, smiling as he said: "I wasn't eaten by the anglerfish. I came specifically looking for you and Pure Gold, Dr. Acier."
"...You know me?"
Myskina Acier was even more astonished. He pointed to his own fat face: "If I remember correctly, I've been gone from the outside world for over two hundred years, and my appearance has changed drastically. You actually know who I am?"
"Of course."
Yami glanced at Myskina Olga, whose face was sallow and filled with an unhealthy aura, and smiled: "Not only do I know you, I know the reason you created Pure Gold was to save your daughter, who has an incurable disease."
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yami, user of the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit."
"The Op-Op Fruit?!"
Hearing this, Myskina Acier was instantly thrilled: "Really? You're the user of the legendary Op-Op Fruit?"
"Yes."
Yami smiled and nodded: "As payment for taking the Pure Gold, I will treat your daughter. I will also take you back to the surface world."
"Thank you... Thank you!"
Myskina Acier immediately wept with joy, even kneeling to thank him: "As long as you are willing to save Olga, I will agree to whatever you ask!"
Although Pure Gold could extend a person's life, it could only extend time; it couldn't cure diseases.
The reason Myskina Acier created Pure Gold was because in that era, aside from the legendary Op-Op Fruit, there was no technology that could cure Myskina Olga's illness. It was an incurable disease of that time.
Myskina Olga's state was still stuck in the diseased stage; she had been tormented by her illness for two hundred years.
So Yami's appearance was like a ray of hope. Not only could Myskina Olga be freed from the torment of her illness, but she could also return to the surface world.
Myskina Olga, hearing the conversation between her father and Yami, was also stunned.
Clearly, this girl, who was over two hundred years old, was also floored by this sudden, joyous surprise.
For two hundred years, not a day went by that she didn't want to escape the anglerfish's stomach and return to the surface world.
Now, not only was her dream coming true, but the disease that had plagued her for many years would also be cured.
...Can I... Can I live like a normal person soon?
Thinking of this, Myskina Olga's eyes couldn't help but well up with a thin mist.
As one can imagine, for some people, long life is not a good thing, but a painful torment.
If not for the companionship of her father, two hundred years of loneliness would have probably driven this girl insane.
