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

Chapter 192 Let's go beat up Kizaru!

+50% resistance to mushroom toxins?

What's the use of that? He's not from some place where people eat mushrooms every day.

And Teemo's size... his clothes, let alone him, even Chopper couldn't fit into them, right?

Xia Nuo shook her head.

What kind of junk is this guy selling?!
No interest.

Next!
……

[Return to Town Scroll]

[Type: special props]

[Price: 8000 points]

[Description: A magical item from the continent of Azeroth. After a short incantation, possessing this scroll will instantly teleport you back to your territory from any location, costing 2000 points each time. Each additional person you bring will cost an extra 2000 points.]

No limit on the number of uses, no distance limit, and no cooldown time limit.

[Seller's Note: Being reborn as Terenas is one thing, but what do you mean Arthas's army is at the gates? And what is that sword?!]

Ok?
Xia Nuo, who was a little disappointed a second ago, suddenly perked up.

Return scroll?

This is great stuff!

Permanent items have virtually no usage restrictions; aside from being a bit expensive, they have no other drawbacks.

Although he only has one territory under his name for the time being, he still has to plan for the future, and this thing is a godsend for both emergency support and evacuation.

Bruno's Door-Door Fruit can only teleport within his field of vision at short distances. How can it compare to this?

A must-buy.

After a moment of silence for this colleague, Xia Nuo added it to her shopping cart without hesitation.

Next!
……

[One-time Devil Fruit Removal Technique]

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 2000 points]

[Description: Within a short period after a user's death, a "Devil Core" can be extracted from their corpse. By placing this core into any plant or fruit, it can be transformed into a Devil Fruit possessing that ability.]

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

what is this?
A one-time use Dark-Dark Fruit...?

Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Thanks to the help of the Devil Fruit Detector, almost all of his crew members are Devil Fruit users, and he even has two more Devil Fruits at his disposal.

But... if the next focus is on developing power, then who would complain about having too many of these strategic resources?

Two thousand points, choose your own fruit.

No need to think twice, just buy it!
……

Eve's Core

[Type: special props]

[Price: 5000 points]

[Description: From the world of Sword Star, the core of the final experimental subject of Project Eve, "Eve". Placing it into the body can greatly enhance physical strength.]

[This core component only works on female bodies.]

[Seller's note: What a terrible game! I have a 5090, and it lags terribly even when using a VPN.]

Xia Nuo vaguely remembers this game; she time-traveled early and hasn't had a chance to play it yet.

Is the 5090 series laggy?
The optimization was indeed not very good; thankfully, I didn't pre-order.

However, the item is definitely a good one. He doesn't need it, but it can directly improve the physical strength of his subordinates.

In Xia Nuo's mind, Nami was first ruled out, and then the remaining female crew members on the ship were quickly reviewed.

There is only one core in the machine.

to whom?

It seems like there's no need to think too much about it...

His eyes flickered slightly as he added it to his shopping cart and looked at the next item.

……

[Random Item Copier in the Trading Market]

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 3000 points]

[Description: After use, it will randomly select one item from the items you have previously purchased in the trading market and copy it.]

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

Shanuo was slightly startled.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that this thing is like opening a blind box; it's all about luck.

If you were to get a newbie village item that you bought with hundreds of points back then, you would have lost a lot of money.

but.

He currently has a very generous amount of points, practically rolling in them. Even if he threw all 3000 points into the water, it wouldn't be a big deal; at least it would make a splash.

It's worth the gamble.

Bought!

In any case, Xia Nuo has always been quite confident in his luck.

Next!
……

[One-time use Saiyan bloodline factor]

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 16000 points]

[Description: After the blood is injected, you will possess the following Saiyan characteristics—if you survive a near-death experience after being severely injured, all aspects of your physical body will receive a comprehensive upgrade. This characteristic will only take effect once.]

[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.]

You've had enough!

Xia Nuo gritted his teeth. If he remembered correctly, the last person who criticized him was also a fellow member of this Dragon Ball world. He had been holding back for a long time!

But the things they sell really do smell better each time...

From Senzu Beans to Dexterity Blade, and now this...

I resisted, and bought it!
There's no way around it; in the face of such an overpowered item, all the slander is meaningless, and even the price of 16,000 doesn't seem so high.

For the same number of points as Shanks' ship, you can gain Saiyan bloodline traits – what a steal!

Plus, he happened to have the last Senzu Bean on him... The two were practically mutually exploiting each other's bugs, a perfect match.

With a thought, Xia Nuo happily added it to her shopping cart, completely forgetting about the seller's notes.

……

There is a saying that every gain has its loss.

The items mentioned earlier, except for the Teemo underwear that appears at the start, are all incredibly tempting.

The next few props completely ruined the whole thing.

Xia Nuo scrolled to the last page but lost interest. After confirming that there was nothing she wanted to buy, she went straight to the checkout.

In this transaction, a total of five items were purchased in the trading market, costing a total of 34000 points.

This was the biggest expense in Chano's history, but also the one where his shopping desires were most satisfied.

I learned a lot!

The remaining points, originally 77600, have decreased to 43600, but the savings are still quite substantial.

After exiting the trading market, Shano went to his inventory page.

First, he took out the "Disposable Saiyan Bloodline Factor," which was in the shape of a syringe and was very similar to the "Piccolo Regeneration Serum" he had bought years ago.

Without the slightest hesitation, it was injected into the body, and the empty syringe was thrown directly into the sea.

"Nothing has changed."

Xia Nuo clenched her fists, her eyes clear and lucid.

It seems that, just as described, the Saiyan traits inherited after injecting the serum only include becoming stronger after being reborn from near-death in battle.

Very sweet.

otherwise……

If they also inherit the Saiyan race's brutal personality and war-obsessed nature, then things will get a bit complicated.

"Next up is the Trading Market Item Random Copier."

Xia Nuo opened it in his backpack, and a 26-sided die popped out and began to spin rapidly.

He stared at the dice and waited patiently for a while.

The rotation ended shortly afterward.

Two lines of text prompts also appeared in front of Xia Nuo:
[Random dice roll complete, items being distributed]

You have acquired "Skill Stealing" x1

ha?
Xia Nuo froze, his expression turning somewhat strange.

They were really lucky.

He had just used up his skill stealing ability when he immediately got another chance. He remembered that this skill was worth 6000 points, so it was a huge profit no matter how you looked at it.

but……

The timing isn't great. If I had come a few days earlier, I could have gotten all the benefits. Now I'm far away from Shanks, and who knows when we'll meet again.

So……

Who should I choose next?

He stroked his chin, lost in thought.

……

This issue has not yet been resolved.

Two days later, the outline of the next island was already faintly visible in the view of the Fallen Ship. As soon as Xia Nuo stepped out of the cabin, she received another phone call.

"It's a bear."

Holding up the Den Den Mushi with its fluffy bear-ear cap, Shano smiled and said:
"It's only been two days, and you're already back in touch much faster than I expected. What, you've already arrived in Dressrosa?"

"Your Mightiness."

The Den Den Mushi mimicked the bear's furrowed brows. "We've arrived, but... the situation has changed. As soon as I reached the waters near Dressrosa, I saw a large fleet of more than ten naval warships surrounding the country's port."

"navy?"

Xia Nuo was somewhat taken aback. "What did they go off to do?"

The mess in Dressrosa has long been resolved by Kuma, restoring peace and stability. What business is it of the Navy?
"It seems like they've come to deliver an ultimatum."

Kuma said in a deep voice, "I was hiding on the mountain and heard their shouts. They demanded that King Riku re-sign the World Government's membership agreement within five days, otherwise they would regard him as an enemy force colluding with pirates, bombard the port, and officially land and take over the country."

"That doesn't make sense!"

A strange little girl's angry voice followed immediately from the side:

"That Doflamingo stole this country and did all sorts of bad things. King Riku asked for help everywhere but was ignored. Now that the bad guys have been driven away by Daddy and that Doflamingo has been killed by Uncle Shano, he finally knows to come and collect... collect, uh, what's that word again?"

“The fruits of victory,” Mansherry’s voice followed.

"Yes, the fruits of victory!"

"Bonnie, don't interrupt," Bear whispered.

"But Xiongxiong, I didn't say anything wrong, Uncle Xia Nuo! You're listening too, right? Tell me, am I right or not!"

“Absolutely correct.” Xia Nuo nodded, then said helplessly, “However, it would be best to correct how you address Little Bonnie.”

"Uncle Xia Nuo?"

"It's big brother!" Mansherry punched Bonnie hard. "You idiot!"

"Oooooh! That hurts!"

The two little girls were bickering, and the bear seemed to have deliberately moved the Den Den Mushi away. The static decreased significantly, and only the bear's deep voice could be heard:

"In short, Your Excellency, King Riku cannot accept the Navy's coercion and has resolved to resist to the end, and I cannot... Your Excellency, I still can't forget the sight of King Riku and her daughter, along with all the citizens who were turned into toys, wailing and kneeling before me when I completely eliminated the Donquixote Family..."

"No need to say more."

Xia Nuo grinned. "You and Bonnie have been my crew members for a long time. As the captain, how could I possibly stand idly by at a time like this?!"

Even without the bear connection...

He also wants to lend a hand in this matter!
Dressrosa...

The Riku family had ruled this place for many years and was very popular with the people. However, during the reign of the current Riku King, he was framed by Doflamingo with despicable means and had his throne taken away.

The Riku family was almost wiped out, and King Riku, who harbored hatred for Doflamingo, was desperate and had nowhere to turn for help.

The Navy Headquarters, the World Government... have been collecting the Celestial Tribute from Dressrosa for so many years, yet at this moment, they remain silent.

Despite the Don Quixote family regaining control of the country.

What a ridiculous notion of "justice".

In contrast, the Kingdom of Sobel, also a member state of the World Government, located in the South China Sea, was overthrown by Kuma after the king's brutal rule.

Before long, the Navy Headquarters demonstrated astonishing efficiency, dispatching multiple warships to storm the capital in an attempt to help the king reclaim the throne.

The reason is easy to guess.

The Navy Headquarters has been trying to increase its control over the New World, and Dressrosa is located at a crucial choke point for advancing into the New World.

If the Navy directly occupies and advances to this location and establishes a base here, it will arouse the suspicion of the Four Emperors and make it difficult to gain a foothold.

However, by allowing Doflamingo, who has connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, to maintain control, a buffer zone that is acceptable to both sides can be created.

Moreover, by using this former Celestial Dragon, we can leverage his intelligence and money-making abilities to channel substantial benefits to the entire Marine Headquarters and even the World Government.

of course……

Doflamingo's ambitions later grew, and he secretly began to cooperate deeply with Kaido, something the World Government had not anticipated.

"Who is leading the navy team?" Shano asked again.

"Currently leading this fleet is Admiral substitute Gion, 'Momosasa'."

Xiong said in a low voice, "This female swordsman is renowned and quite troublesome, but I am confident that I can handle her. However, according to the current intelligence, Admiral Kizaru seems to be on standby in Punk Hazard, which is not far from here, and can come here to provide support at any time."

Kizaru?
Then there's no reason not to go!
Xia Nuo snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in her eyes.

That old monkey, he ambushed him while he was fighting Kaido, and almost killed him on Enies Lobby. That kick in Sabaody Archipelago was far from enough to satisfy his anger!
Now that my strength has improved again, I'm actually looking forward to having a go at this old man!
After hanging up the phone, Xia Nuo looked up and saw that all the crew members had gathered around her.

They heard the entire conversation clearly, and now their eyes gleamed with excited fighting spirit.

It's been almost a month since we last fought!
Over the past month, everyone has improved their strength thanks to the power of the Dream Grass, and now is undoubtedly a good opportunity to test it!

However, there is one point worth noting.

"Is the ultimatum only valid for five days?"

Kuina frowned slightly. "My lady, Dressrosa is very far from us. Even if we have the Vivre Card of the bear and can go there at full speed... I'm afraid we won't make it in time."

"Enough! Have you forgotten that device we have on board?"

Xia Nuo grinned, looked up at the orange-haired girl who was leaning on the second-floor railing, and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to suffer for the next few days, Nami."

"Eh?"

Nami pointed at herself in astonishment, "Me?"
