Chapter 50 Don't take such long breaths next time!
At the critical moment,
Nobunaga swallowed the Float-Float Fruit, gaining the ability to float, and miraculously stopped the floating island just before it crashed!
Bonnie, now back in her mature, sophisticated form, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Her legs were still trembling, and she looked utterly shaken.
"Please, next time don't be so thrilling, okay? You scared me to death!"
"Don't make a sound, I'm thinking—"
Kuroro ignored her complaints because he was busy adding points!
"Add a few points to this, a few points to that... Oh right! Using Haki consumes stamina, add some stamina to me!"
"Ugh—it's not enough at all!" Kuroro rubbed his hair in frustration.
There's only one or ten thousand chances to add points!
With the problem of landing on the island resolved, the long-awaited [Plunder] system notification finally arrived...
It's finally here!
Kuroro's eyes lit up:
[Player has been detected leading a team to complete the "STRONG WORLD" dungeon and defeating the Flying Pirate - Golden Lion Shiki, fulfilling the trigger conditions and activating the Plunder ability.]
Shiki, captain of the Flying Pirates, a legendary pirate, whose greatest achievement was leading his crew to destroy half of Marineford. His highest bounty was 23 billion.
"Holy crap—we've struck gold!"
This was Kuroro's first reaction, but as he continued reading, his brows furrowed more and more.
[Due to his disgraceful later years, he became disabled in both legs, had a ship's rudder inserted into his head, and his strength declined severely, rendering him unable to use either Observation Haki or Conqueror's Haki.]
[Based on system evaluation, the host gained 100000 reputation points in this event.]
[Player's current total reputation: 109850]
"wipe......."
"Is this a mistake? 100,000 reputation points, which means the system assesses Golden Lion's current strength as only around a billion bounties? The same as the shipping magnate's bounty?!"
If the Golden Lion knew, he would probably wake up in a rage and say: What level are you, with the same bounty as me?
However, when he thought about how Katakuri, who possesses the strongest Observation Haki, also has a bounty of one billion, Chrollo immediately felt better.
"Ten billion it is, greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
The first thing to do when you have enough money is, of course, to open the [Thief's Points Shop].
"Zoan-type Artificial Devil Fruit - Swift, I'll buy it!"
"I'll buy the Waver (Sky Island-specific vehicle)!"
"I'll buy Ben Beckman's flashy lighter!"
"A blank life card? I'll buy it!"
Shopping is so enjoyable, and the more you shop, the more enjoyable it becomes!
It's good to be rich; after a big meal... [Player's remaining reputation points: 65850].
"........."
No problem, there are still three days until the next refresh of the [Thief's Points Shop].
There's still so much left... that should be enough!
...Is that enough?
Kuroro patted his face, and finally, after some maneuvering, his character panel appeared:
Name: Kuroro
[Attributes: Strength: 64 (B+) / Agility: 72 (A) / Intelligence: 73 (A) / Stamina: 70 (A)]
[Self-awakened Nen ability: Thief's Ultimate (Specialty Type - Evolved)]
[Amount: 490000 (Guard Team Level)]
[Currently Possessing: Nen Abilities: 23 (Click to expand details)]
Devil Fruit abilities stolen: 4 (Click to expand details)
Current Ability: Armament Haki (Intermediate)
After this battle, Kuroro's mastery of Armament Haki reached the intermediate level.
The theory still holds true! Fighting against stronger opponents yields the greatest improvement in strength!
"Commander, what should we do with these islands?" Nobunaga asked.
Kuroro thought for a moment,
"Let's find a vast sea and let these islands drift freely."
He casually took out the Black Whale from the [Incredibly Convenient Large Pocket].
"Next, you'll try piloting this aircraft through the sky to carry us, which will be a good opportunity to hone your skills."
Then he turned his head away, revealing a lewd expression and making a funny face:
"The Flying Thieves, hahaha! This makes my hunting plans even easier!"
Then he turned his head and said seriously:
"Nami, you guide him."
Nami nodded, then asked, puzzled, "Where do we go next?"
Kuroro looked expectantly into the distance:
"We're setting off for Loguetown—"
What Kuroro had no idea was... the enormous storm his impulsive actions would unleash in the world of One Piece...
.........
Shortly after Kuroro and the others left, Smoker, the White Hunter, also arrived in Baratie.
After learning where everyone had gone, Smoker went after them and witnessed a scene he would never forget—
Countless islands fell from the sky into the sea, and countless enormous and rare beasts on the fallen islands were gradually submerged by the seawater and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Immediately afterwards, a massive, sky-covering landmass descended from the sky, causing the entire world to tremble and tremble under this immense force, as if it were the end of the world.
After all the islands had fallen, he looked into the distance...
The enormous cruise ship he had been chasing transformed into a black whale soaring through the sky and disappeared into the horizon.
Smoker was utterly astonished.
Of course he knew what those islands represented!
The Navy has reported on the Golden Lion's activities in the East China Sea countless times, using this giant rare beast to harass the residents of the East China Sea!
However, due to the unique mobility granted by the Float-Float Fruit, coupled with the fact that the Admirals all had important matters to attend to, and Vice Admiral Garp had even gone to the New World, no one could do anything to him...
But what did he see now?!
The floating island... crashed—
He saw the mighty pirate Shiki, whom even the Marine Headquarters couldn't defeat... and he was defeated by that mysterious group of pirates?!
"Oh no... Damn it! Something terrible has happened!" Smoker dialed Kizaru's Den Den Mushi with a tense expression.
"Beep...beep...beep...beep beep beep—"
"..........."silence.
After ringing many times without being answered, Smoker reluctantly dialed the number of the Sengoku Marshal.
"Moshi moshi, is this Smoker? What's up?" Sengoku's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Smoker, his nerves taut under immense pressure, slowly opened his mouth:
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, something terrible has happened..."
"What is it? Don't be as impulsive as Garp, speak slowly..." Sengoku's voice was calm and reassuring.
Smoker took a deep breath. "Marshal, Shiki... has been defeated."
"What?!?!" A deafening roar came from the other end of the phone.
Smoker was so shocked that he moved away from the Den Den Mushi.
"This is wonderful! This is absolutely wonderful!" Sengoku's voice was filled with excitement.
"Who did this? Borsalino? He's finally done something good—"
"Reporting to the Marshal, it's not...."
"........."
"Don't breathe so heavily next time!"
"I'm sorry, Admiral Kizaru's call didn't go through. According to his men, he's still in Loguetown."
"........." There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Who is that...? Has Garp gone back to the East Blue?" Sengoku asked in confusion.
"No, that's not it. We haven't found any trace of Vice Admiral Garp in the East China Sea."
"Who exactly is that?" Sengoku seemed very puzzled, stroking his chin as he pondered deeply.
"It's not Kizaru, and it's not Garp... So, is there anyone in the East Blue right now who can subdue that guy?"
"Could it be that Long cleaned it up while he was visiting his son?"
"It's that group of mysterious people from the Black Whale cruise ship," Smoker reported truthfully.
Then he saw the eyes on the Sengoku Den Den Mushi gradually widen... until the glasses fell to the ground without him noticing.
