One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 173 New World, Items Refreshed!

"what happened?"

Xia Nuo noticed this and was somewhat puzzled.

Nami weakly raised her head.

Her face looked aggrieved, and before she could even speak, two Dragon Palace maids happened to pass by with Princess Shirahoshi's fat shark, Mecaro.

Upon seeing Nami, the two mermaid girls' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in fright, and they raised their arms and screamed:
"Whoa! It's a pet-eating demon!"

"Run! Mecaro, what are you standing there for? You're the one who should be running!"

"If you get eaten, Her Highness the Princess will cry herself blind!"

The two people and the shark ran for their lives, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"..."

Xia Nuo turned his head and glanced at the numb Nami. He suddenly realized what was happening, but was also speechless.

That unlucky girl, why does the Navy's intelligence department always have to mess with her? She finally met the bounty target this time, but now there's this problem with her title.

He could only gently pat Nami's head to comfort her.

"elder brother."

Nami looked at the mochi, on the verge of tears, "Do you think this little guy will evolve again in the future?"

Xia Nuo glanced at her with pity, but did not answer.

But that look was the best answer.

It’s over!

Nami is really going to cry now.

Why does it need to evolve again? Will the Navy Headquarters think they've eaten the dog again next time?

The label of "pet-eating demon" is really hard to get off its head!
I remembered the cute little newspaper boy who looked at her like she'd seen a ghost when I bought the newspaper before, so scared he wouldn't even take my money...

Nami was both embarrassed and angry. How could those incompetent people in the Navy intelligence department come up with such an outrageous story?

hateful!

In that wanted poster photo, she was clearly eating cotton candy! Cotton candy!
……

Once everyone was present, the banquet began quickly.

The main hall was brightly lit, and the chefs of the Dragon Palace City served up one exquisite dish after another, each with its own unique characteristics and a fragrant aroma.

Everyone was starving, and under Xia Nuo's lead, they didn't hold back at all and started eating and drinking heartily.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely, clinking glasses and toasting each other.

Princess Shirahoshi initially sat timidly beside Neptune, keeping her head down and not daring to speak. However, with Nami and Nojiko taking the initiative to talk to her, she gradually opened up and was often amused, covering her mouth and laughing.

Neptune took in the whole scene, took a sip of his wine, and looked on with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, Shirahoshi, now that VanderDeacon has been arrested, you're completely free." Nami's mood had improved considerably by now. She rested her chin on her right hand and smiled, "Where do you most want to go?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

Bai Xing tilted her head, then suddenly laughed with shame, "There are many places I want to go, but the first one I should go to is the Sea Forest. My mother is buried there, but I've been too scared to go and pay my respects..."

"This is none of your business, Shirahoshi!"

"We were the ones who wouldn't let you leave the Hard Shell Tower, so you should blame us!"

The eldest prince, Shark Star, and the second prince, Emperor Star, hurriedly said.

“The Forest of the Sea…” Robin said softly, “What a coincidence, I just came out of there too.”

"Have you discovered the Poneglyphs?" Shano interjected.

Robin was slightly taken aback, turned to look at him, and smiled, "Nothing can be hidden from the captain."

"I was just guessing."

Shano shrugged. He had actually forgotten that Fishman Island had the Poneglyphs, but Robin's undisguised joy when she came to the banquet reminded him.

However, there is already a historical text on board.

The piece from Fishman Island seems to be much larger, and it's inconvenient to carry around, so there's no need to pull it out; a rubbing will suffice.

"It's less of a historical record and more of a letter of repentance written by a man named Joy Boy for failing to keep his promise to the Little Mermaid."

Robin looked at Neptune.

"..."

Neptune was taken aback.

How did this girl know? He looked at Robin's face and felt he looked increasingly familiar. Suddenly, he remembered something: "I remember now, you are the last survivor of Ohara, aren't you?"

Robin nodded. Since she had Xia Nuo's protection, she no longer needed to hide her special identity from outsiders.

No wonder.

Neptune sighed softly.

Joy Boy, it's been so long since I've heard that name...

Eight hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the mermaids and fish people are still trapped in the deep sea, with almost no hope of returning to land. When will they be able to wait for the next Joy Boy?

Could it be him?

Neptune's gaze fell on Shano.

The other person was happily eating while staring at the hard-shell tower in the distance, lost in thought.

This young man, at such a young age, has already become famous throughout the seas. Even Rayleigh, the Dark King, was defeated by him, and the Marine Admirals could not do anything to him. He is clearly on the verge of becoming the number one person after the Four Emperors.

His selfless act of helping others on Fishman Island shows that he is a trustworthy person.

Will someone like this become the next Joy Boy?

Who can say for sure?

Neptune wasn't sure either, but one thing was clear: after this person left Fishman Island and officially entered the New World...

The entire ocean is likely about to experience the most violent upheaval since the beginning of the Great Pirate Era...

"His Majesty Neptune?"

Robin's voice pulled him back to reality.

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted."

Neptune smiled, raised his glass, and said, "Come on, let's toast to the perfect victory of today's operation, and to express our gratitude to Lord Shano and Jack!"

"cheers!"

Everyone laughed heartily and raised their glasses in response.

Bang!

……

As night deepened, the banquet in the Dragon Palace came to an end.

Having acquired the pointer to the new world, Shano originally intended to leave that very night, but Neptune was too enthusiastic and insisted on keeping him for another night.

The group settled down in the Dragon Palace, staying in the left side hall, while the right side hall had been converted into Princess Shirahoshi's bedroom.

Without the threat of Van der Daeken, and for the first time in years to stay outside the Hard Shell Tower, Princess White Star slept exceptionally well.

Therefore, they didn't hear anything rumbling up from the ground behind the side hall right next to her...

The next morning, Neptune, accompanied by the three princes, personally escorted Shanos and his party to the valve exit.

Princess Shirahoshi followed behind, her long pink hair swaying gently in the night breeze, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Are you really... leaving?" she asked her two new friends in a low voice.

"Hmm."

Nami grinned and tiptoed to pat Shirahoshi's...tail. "Don't be sad, I'll come find you to play again sometime!"

“That’s right!” Nojiko nodded with a smile. “It won’t be long before we see you again, and we’ll bring you a present!”

Bai Xing's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "Then, it's a promise! Don't go back on your word!"

The three girls pinky tucked together, while Kuina watched from the bow of the boat with her arms crossed. Smoker quietly approached from behind and whispered:

"Hey, you were having a great time chatting with Shirahoshi last night, so why aren't you joining in now? Sometimes you have to be more proactive. Don't put on such a heavy burden as the first mate!"

"Long-winded!"

Without even looking, Kuina threw a backhand punch, sending Smoker flying more than ten meters with a scream, crashing into the railing with his cheeks bulging out and him wincing in pain.

hateful.

When he first boarded the ship, he could still hold his own against his opponent in internal sparring, but now the gap between them is widening!
Is there a timeline where you are the superior, and the sword-obsessed girl is the timid subordinate in front of you?
…………

...Boom!
Thick, dark clouds rolled across the sky, and lightning bolts darted through them, casting flickering light on the inky sea.

The wind howled, occasionally whipping up huge waves tens of meters high, which slammed against the ship like angry beasts, causing the entire Fallen Star to rock and sway constantly.

"A big storm is coming."

Xia Nuo sat under the parasol in the second-floor kendo dojo, took a sip of orange soda, and looked up at the awful weather.

He and his companions had been away from Fishman Island for five days, seeing off Neptune and the others.

After diving in the deep sea for two days, about three days ago, it finally broke out of the sea, shed its coating, and entered the new world.

Before even reaching the first island, the group had already experienced firsthand what the "New World" was all about in just three days.

hard to imagine……

An hour ago, this sea area was cloudless and sunny, but four or five hours ago, it was bitterly cold and filled with white, fluffy snow.

What about last night?
It hailed all night long last night, the hailing kept going off, I doubt anyone got a good night's sleep.

This is the climate of the New World.

Deeply affected by the extremely chaotic magnetic field between the islands, it is truly unpredictable and elusive.

It can be said.

Unless one approaches an island of a certain size, allowing the magnetic field to stabilize, such experiences will become the norm in the future.

By comparison.

No wonder the first half of the Grand Line can only be called "paradise".

but,

He had a sturdy ship made from Adam's precious tree, the world's most talented navigator, and a helmsman with inexhaustible strength and muscles—

Yes, Jack is now at the helm, replacing Smoker's part-time position.

In short.

No matter how you look at it, it's hard to capsize in the gutter called "weather"!

After downing the orange soda in one gulp, Xia Nuo opened the system panel. Calculating the time, the system trading market should have refreshed again in the past two days.

I took a look, and sure enough.

However, before making a purchase, you should first check your earnings and confirm how many points you have.

The points I got from the White Group were quite considerable, totaling 9700, which brought my remaining points to over 50,000, reaching 50900.

And if we add the nighttime shenanigans and the wool secretly plundered from the Dragon Palace...

[You sacrificed Princess Shirahoshi's Hard Shell Tower, gaining 1500 points]

You sacrificed Neptune's crown, gaining 500 points.

That's 2000 points. The other three princes, the left and right ministers of the Dragon Palace, plus the lousy members of the New Fishman Pirates, contributed a total of 3000 points.

With a total of 5,000 points, the remaining points reached 55900, which was almost the highest number in Xia Nuo's memory.

I've never had so much money before, I should definitely go on a shopping spree!
Xia Nuo opened the trading market and scanned it.

If you're not interested in the first item, just pass.

The second item, as soon as it appeared on the screen, immediately caught his eye—

【Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist】

[Type: Cultivation Secrets]

[Price: 7000 points]

[Description: The supreme fist technique originating from the One-Punch Man world. It uses the force of flowing water to dissolve immense power and the strength to shatter rocks to break through steel defenses. This fist technique emphasizes the combination of softness and strength, and places extremely high demands on the learner's physique and physical talent.]

[When used, it can enhance one's defensive capabilities and imbue each strike with terrifying destructive power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.]

[Seller's Note: I just want to know who my fellow travelers in the One Piece world are, because he's the only one selling junk.]

Xia Nuo: “?”

Has my reputation among my peers already become so prominent?
What can we do then?
He didn't want to sell junk either, but he had no choice but to sacrifice these things. It seemed that his system was completely different from that of the transmigrators from other worlds, except that they had a common trading market.

Tsk, this note... I'm annoyed, but I still have to buy it.

Xia Nuo quickly sorted things out in her mind.

He has no shortage of trump cards in his attack methods, such as the Elbaf Spear and "Kamizaki," a modified version of the Spirit Circle Slash.

However, conventional means of dealing with the enemy are indeed somewhat lacking.

Even though he had been combining the several boxing techniques he had practiced with the Six Styles of Body Techniques and constantly developing new moves, he still had some skills.

But now that he's reached his current level of strength, he's still struggling to keep up with him.

The Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist can perfectly fill this gap.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, after fully mastering this martial art, one can further develop many upgraded derivative techniques. In Garou's hands, the power it unleashes is even enough to destroy a planet...

The power ceiling in the One-Punch Man world is still much higher than that in the One Piece world.

Add it to your cart now, next item!
……

Digital Gem

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 700 points]

[Description: A special gem existing in the Digital World. Feeding it to a Digimon can greatly increase its growth rate, allowing it to evolve to the next stage as quickly as possible.]

[Seller's Note: I just want to know who my fellow travelers in the One Piece world are, because he's the only one selling junk.]

That’s enough!
The veins on Xia Nuo's forehead bulged.

So you've teamed up to slander me, huh? You look down on me too, don't you? Well then, you piece of trash, I'll...

I still have to buy it.

Xia Nuo added it to her shopping cart with a heavy heart.

There was no way to refuse, since he actually had a Digimon among his pets, and the price of a mere few hundred points was just too cheap.

Talk about it.

He remembered that the glutinous rice balls stayed in the first two stages for a little over a month and two months respectively, and it seemed that the evolution took longer and longer as it progressed.

It's unclear how significant this increase in growth rate will be.

But surely we can't make him wait for several months?

Next!
……

Skill Stealing Technique

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 6000 points]

[Description: A one-time use item. After use, it will randomly copy one of the target's signature skills, which the user will directly learn. This includes, but is not limited to, martial arts, swordsmanship, and powerful techniques.]

[Warning: If the target is a Devil Fruit user, an attempt will be made to replicate the skill using the host's body. If replication is difficult, there is a risk that the skill will be stolen but will not be effective due to the lack of the corresponding Devil Fruit ability.]

[Seller's Note: Direct sales from the system, none]

Xia Nuo's eyes lit up immediately.

They can even steal skills?

Or was it something you grasped directly?
That's incredible skill!
It's supposed to be random, but the words "signature skill" are written on it.

In other words, there's no trash in the prize pool!
For example, if you used it on Magellan, you would definitely steal his signature moves, not his ability to fart and have diarrhea all the time...

Using it on Aokiji won't steal the skill of having long legs and pedaling a tricycle.

As for the risk of stealing a Devil Fruit user's ability not working, that's easy to understand.

It depends on the situation.

If he were to steal Luffy's "Gum-Gum Battle Axe," he could barely manage to do so by sacrificing his life and having extreme control over his body.

But if it were Kaido, in his dragon form, he could unleash a "heat breath"... even if he spat out all his saliva, he still couldn't do it.

Thinking about it this way, since three of the Four Emperors are Devil Fruit users, to completely eliminate the risk and ensure a 100% chance of stealing a usable skill...

Should I look for you?

Xia Nuo gazed wistfully towards the horizon.

That old friend who had once helped him...
