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

Chapter 255 May Item Refresh
Brubru~
Just as I was concentrating on reviewing them, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.

Xia Nuo casually put down his pen and answered the phone.

"Hey, bro, it's me."

Nojiko's voice came from the other end of the microphone, "As per your instructions, the review of the two supernovas has just been completed."

"Oh? How is it going?" Xia Nuo asked with a smile.

"That Navy spy named Drake, you wanted to keep this guy around to spread false information to the Navy, so I just pretended to believe what he said and let him pass."

"As for Bartolomeo, I initially thought he was a fanatical and troublesome guy, but I was surprised that he could still maintain a clear mind deep down. His Barrier-Barrier Fruit is also very powerful. With a little training, he can probably grow into a reliable core member in no time."

"Not the kind of person with a long history of bad deeds?" Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow slightly.

"No, I specifically asked that question too."

Then you can rest assured.

Xia Nuo nodded slightly.

He was quite impressed with Barto.

In the original timeline, this guy witnessed the scene of lightning striking down and saving Luffy, thus concluding that Luffy was the chosen one, becoming a die-hard fan, and a year later, he also set sail to become a pirate.

He's a generous and loyal guy.

But he was also an absolute villain who killed many civilians and was even known as a "cannibal."

It is certainly too harsh to demand that people of the Great Pirate Era be judged by the moral standards of the previous life, but there should still be a basic bottom line.

Xia Nuo didn't want the Fallen Ones to become like the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, accepting any scumbag after a single toast.

Fortunately, it seems that this native of Rogge Town has had his fate altered by his past actions, embarking on a completely different path.

This is something to celebrate.

"After you finish your business there, go back to Crescent Island tomorrow."

Xia Nuo thought for a moment and said, "It's been a long time since we've had a banquet. Uncle Zeff has prepared a lot of dishes, so let's take this opportunity to hold a small banquet tomorrow night to welcome our new partners."

The four subordinate groups are still in the integration phase, with new people constantly joining and frequent transfers, so it is not possible to hold a large banquet for the time being.

The location for the headquarters of the Fallen Ones has already been decided.

Zoro, Sanji, Tashigi, Chopper, and Fujitora, who joined just a few days before heading to Sabaody Archipelago, make a total of five people, and there won't be any changes in the near future.

We could have a simple celebration first.

There was originally another Luo, but the kid was torn and didn't want to be separated from his companions.

So Xia Nuo simply did as he wished, and instead appointed him as the captain of the second division of the combat legion, allowing him to continue leading the previous crew and maintaining a certain degree of independence.

"Got it!" Nokiko readily agreed. "I'm finishing up here too, and I can get back tomorrow morning."

"Okay, see you then."

……

Early next morning.

After getting up, Xia Nuo yawned and came to the dining room from the bedroom, where she poured herself a cup of black coffee as usual.

I've been so stressed and exhausted these past few days, I really can't keep up without this thing.

The good news is that I stayed up until midnight last night to finish reviewing most of the documents, and starting today, I can finally gradually return to normal life.

"Here."

Zeff helped bring breakfast, and while he was at it, he pushed a round plate covered with an iron cover in front of Shano, and said with a smile:
"Open it and take a look. Zoro, that kid, specially asked me to bring him some fruit before his meal to thank you for the sword you gave him."

"Zoro's return gift?"

Xia Nuo raised an eyebrow in surprise, put down his coffee cup with interest, and lifted the iron cover.

This unfortunate child's fate was also greatly altered.

Firstly, because Kuina didn't die, she changed from a three-sword style to a dual-sword style.

Also, because Sanji had also practiced swordsmanship, he took the Kitetsu from the weapon shop in Loguetown.

Therefore, Zoro, who arrived in Loguetown later, only managed to buy a good sword called "Yubashiri," and did not encounter the great sword "Shusui," which he should have received from his ancestor Ryuma.

The other sword he uses now is a piece of junk he seized from pirates in the East Blue, which is completely unworthy of a swordsman's status.

Seeing his pitiful state, Xia Nuo gave him the "True Blade" she had won in the last lottery, which made the poor boy extremely happy.

According to what Sanji spread around, Zoro was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several nights in a row. He would hold Zoro tightly in his arms no matter what he did, and even urinated in his mouth, as if he had married a wife.

"This is……"

What comes into view is a strange fruit that is entirely orange-yellow and covered with spiral patterns, shaped like an enlarged mango.

"It's a Devil Fruit!"

Xia Nuo chuckled, "That kid actually has such a treasure? Where did he get it?"

"They say he found it on the sea when he was still adventuring in the amusement park."

Zeff wiped his hands and shrugged.
"But you know this kid's temper. Kuina chose not to eat the fruit and to follow the pure path of a swordsman. Naturally, he was not willing to be outdone, so he kept this fruit as a collectible, intending to give it to a new partner who joined the mediocre adventure team."

At this point, Zeff couldn't help but chuckle:

"As a result, before his partner arrived, he inexplicably completed the first half by himself. Now that he has joined the Fallen Ones, he has even less need for this thing."

"I don't need it either."

Xia Nuo sighed; he still had three Devil Fruits left.

As he was observing, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He knew who it was without even guessing, and turned around with a smile:

"You've come at the right time, Robin. Help me identify this."

Robin walked slowly down the corridor, nodded slightly after hearing Shano's words, took the Devil Fruit, and examined it carefully.

"Judging from the patterns and shapes, they are primarily animal-themed."

"Zoan type? Mythical Zoan or Ancient Zoan?"

"Unfortunately, neither is true."

Robin examined it for a while longer, then looked up and smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Captain, it's a very ordinary fruit, it should be the Rabbit Fruit, Dwarf Rabbit form."

Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit...

Xia Nuo was indeed somewhat disappointed. In the New World, even the most ambitious and powerful individuals would probably look down on a fruit of this caliber.

Of course, those oddballs and freaks under Blackbeard's command are an exception.

Never mind, I'll think about it later. Anyway, let's have breakfast first.

……

After breakfast.

Holding a cup of black coffee, Xia Nuo arrived at a high point in the open space north of the castle. Looking around, he saw that what was once a noble garden had now been transformed into a training ground.

Zoro and Sanji, having recovered from their injuries, were sparring in the distance, while in another corner, Tashigi was also exchanging blows with Kuina.

It's quite entertaining.

Xia Nuo watched the battle unfold with great interest.

The battle between Zoro and Sanji was extremely intense, with their dual swords and kicking techniques clashing constantly, sparks flying everywhere. An unsuspecting passerby might have thought they were mortal enemies.

Xia Nuo, on the other hand, noticed the black aura that flashed by from time to time during their fight.

"These two lads have made great progress."

Xia Nuo took a sip of coffee, quite pleased. After this group of supernovas joined, he specifically entrusted several cadres to guide them in cultivating domineering aura.

The fastest progressers are undoubtedly Zoro and Sanji, both of whom have shown amazing talent.

With the added buff from the Falcon Statue, at this rate, they should be able to master the basics of dual-color Haki in one or two months at most.

The sword duel on the other side was less of a "sparring match" and more of a "mentorship." Although they had the exact same face, Kuina's swordsmanship was far superior to Tashigi's, and she could easily benefit the latter greatly.

Xia Nuo found a bench and sat down, continuing to admire the fruit while taking out the Rabbit Fruit and pondering it for a moment.

Since it's useless, it's better to just sacrifice it.

The fruits found earlier were either quite precious and had to be left for their companions, or they were wild and unclaimed, which did not meet the rules for sacrifice.

To this day, no one has yet properly sacrificed Devil Fruits, a unique product of the One Piece world.

Yes, that's decided. Sacrifice!
[You sacrificed Zoro's Rabbit-Rabbit Fruit, gaining 4500 points]

"Not bad."

Xia Nuo smiled. This was already at the level of a powerful emperor. If it were any of Zoro's other possessions, they certainly wouldn't be worth this much; a thousand or two would be the maximum.

It's a great way to make use of waste.

"what?"

Looking at the system panel, Xia Nuo suddenly remembered that it was already early May, hadn't the trading market already been refreshed?

Upon opening the transaction page, it was indeed the case.

If you calculate the time carefully, it should have been refreshed three days ago, but I've been too busy these days and haven't noticed it until now.

I only realized it now.

Great!
Now it's time for my third favorite part: the shopping spree!

Let's check the points first.

Before the major event at Chambord, the remaining points were 26900.

In order to bypass the surveillance ships and capture the Celestial Dragons, Shano led his three top officers directly to Dressrosa, the territory closest to the Red Line, and then descended upon Sabaody Archipelago, catching the Marine Headquarters off guard.

Four people were teleported, each paying 2000 points, for a total of 8000 points.

Logically speaking, this would leave very few points remaining.

But that day, he also managed to squeeze a lot of money out of several Celestial Dragons, high-ranking Navy officers, and Supernovas.

With Zoro's Devil Fruit worth 4500 points, he not only earned back all 8000 points, but also had an extra 3500.

This also caused the remaining points to increase instead of decrease, reaching 30400.

That's enough for him to buy to his heart's content.

Let’s get started.

Xia Nuo opened the trading market, casually crossed his legs, and glanced at the first item—

Geralt's Carrot

Type: Vehicle

[Price: 2200 points]

[Description: From the Wizarding World, a brown horse named Carrot, who was once Geralt the Witcher's loyal companion, but occasionally gets stuck in strange places.]

[Seller's Note: This is a genuine Polish CD Projekt Red. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I'm selling it on the market. Also, thanks to my fellow pirate for providing the fish-man knee; after replacing it, I can now jump from the tenth floor and not die.]

Is this another thank-you letter following that of the Dragon Ball companion?
Xia Nuo smiled with satisfaction.

It seems that the good things I offered as a sacrifice have truly benefited many of my colleagues.

Unfortunately, the props provided by this person were hardly ever used.

An ordinary horse, yet it's selling for such a high price.

Even silver is cheaper than this.

Too low cost-performance ratio, pass on, next one!

[Dance in the Sky]

[Type: Cultivation Secrets]

[Price: 6000 points]

[Description: A flight technique from the Dragon Ball world, which can only be practiced by the host. It allows for free flight by manipulating the ki within the body, without the need for any tools. After mastering it, one can continue flying by consuming stamina. Speed ​​and altitude increase as the user's strength improves.]

[Seller's Note: No! Klin!!!]

Wow, we were just talking about Dragon Ball, and here we go again.

Looking at the notes, what happened this time?
Xia Nuo tilted her head slightly, not quite understanding the situation, but one thing was clear: she really needed this thing.

This is a rare flying ability in the world of One Piece!
Leaving aside its practical uses, it's also excellent for traveling on ordinary days.

While using Moonwalk would achieve similar results, it's incredibly tiring. It's fine for short distances, but not worthwhile for cross-sea operations.

Moreover, it cannot remain still in the air, and the posture is too ugly. How can it compare to the aerial dance technique that allows one to move freely and maintain any posture?

By now, he has basically accepted that anything produced by Dragon Ball is guaranteed to be of high quality.

In a world where combat power is off the charts, there are bound to be many good things.

Add to cart, next!

[18,000 Points Bonus Package]

[Type: special props]

[Price: 20000 points]

[Description: From the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Open to receive 18,000 points. Limited-time special offer, don't miss it!]

[Seller's Note: None, system direct sales]

Xia Nuo glanced at it and added it to her shopping cart without hesitation.

Just about to swipe away.

Ok?
wrong!

He suddenly realized what was happening, scrolled back, and looked at it carefully, almost spitting out his entire mouthful of black coffee.

This is such a scam!
They even disguise themselves as direct sales through the system in the notes. If you only see it at the last minute and buy everything without paying attention, you might actually fall into a trap when you check out!
The people of Warhammer are so filthy! Get out of my shopping cart!

Next!

[Unlimited Mayonnaise]

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 800 points]

[Description: From the world of Gintama, the ultimate seasoning generously sponsored by Hijikata Toshiro. It automatically replenishes itself daily, has a rich and mellow flavor, and is suitable for pairing with any food, especially rice, bread, and other staple foods.]

[Seller's note: Besides Hijikata, who would buy this thing? Zoro?]

This is the third "unlimited consumables" series that Xia Nuo has obtained.

The first two are unlimited red bean buns and unlimited sugar-free cola, respectively. The former replenishes carbohydrates and protein, while the latter replenishes water, both of which are quite practical.

Xia Nuo thought this was no exception; how could it be as bad as the seller described in the notes? It goes well with red bean buns and can even supplement fat.

The price is very cheap, it's a good product, I bought it.

Next!
------

[Randomly steal scrolls]

[Type: consumables]

[Price: 4000 points]

[Description: After use, it can ignore spatial distance and body size, randomly steal any item held by an important character in this world. It can be used a total of three times.]

[Seller's Note: None, system direct sales]
