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

Chapter 346 Item Refresh - A Must-Buy!
Randomly simulated world cultivation cards...

Choose one of three randomly generated worlds, enter it for a year of cultivation, and use the power system of another world to improve yourself.

In reality, only a week has passed.

Xia Nuo had to admit that this prop was very tempting.

If he had obtained this prop last year, or even a few months ago, he wouldn't have even considered it.

But it's different now.

Because now, he has truly reached the pinnacle of what this world can achieve.

And they have completely broken off relations with Im.

That guy can't leave the Flower Garden for now, but no one can say for sure how long this restriction will last. I must have stronger power before then!

but……

"Fifty thousand points?"

He murmured to himself, his gaze sweeping over his current points balance.

20600 points—that's more than half of what I need to buy this cultivation card. And there are still thirty days until the next refresh. Can I accumulate the 50,000 points within these thirty days?
"Perhaps it's worth a try."

Xia Nuo considered it for a moment.

It is now early September of the year 1517 in the Sea Calendar. A year ago, he should have been on Mihawk Island, having just emerged from two months of seclusion with his companions, before entering the New World.

In other words.

Before he arrived at Fishman Island, the characters who had been exploited had already completed their one-year cooldown period and could be exploited again.

Including Water Seven, Alabasta, the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, and...

"Kaido."

Xia Nuo snorted coldly. This guy shouldn't have been on this list, but he insisted on adding a scene in Water City.

Just right.

Of the Four Emperors' crews in the New World, Shanks and Whitebeard have been thoroughly exploited by him from top to bottom, but the Beast Pirates are still an untapped territory.

Although Xia Nuo had a very poor impression of Oden, Momonosuke, the Kozuki family, and the samurai of Wano Country, and even looked down on them.

However, this does not mean that once he has the strength to unify the New World, he can continue to tolerate Kurozumi Orochi wreaking havoc on the country.

I was too busy fighting with the World Government to deal with this.

Now, I'm facing a problem with insufficient points.

It's time to deal with it and maybe reap some fresh profits along the way.

Xia Nuo quickly made a plan in his mind.

Of course.

We should also look at other things first, flip through the pages and see if there's anything useful in this issue's props.

If there's nothing else reliable, then he's determined to get this cultivation card.

Xia Nuo turned the page to look at the next item—

【EVA Unit-02】

[Type: Equipment]

[Price: 9000 points]

[Description: A red humanoid decisive weapon from the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion, approximately 80 meters tall, equipped with a high-vibration particle sword and a positron cannon. Its original pilot was Asuka Langley Soryu.]

[Seller's Note: Finally got it! With this, who cares about Asuka anymore? Hahaha, let's go, Red Storm!]

Xia Nuo clicked his tongue.

nice one.

Unfortunately, it's of no use to him now.

Next!
[Unlimited Fun Beans]

[Type: special props]

[Price: 3000 points]

[Description: A supreme item from the world of Happy Landlords. After purchasing, you will gain the privilege of receiving 3000 Happy Beans an unlimited number of times.]

[Seller's Note: Dede dede dede dede!]

"?"

Xia Nuo looked completely bewildered.

He began to wonder if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Wait, what is this thing that popped up?
Although it is not uncommon for strange creatures to appear in the myriad worlds, is it really possible for such a world to exist?

If that colleague traveled back in time, would he just spend all his time playing cards?
That's so easy.

Xia Nuo continued flipping through the pages speechlessly. He was envious as he was, but he hoped that such useless items would never pollute his gacha pool again.

however……

This gacha pool doesn't seem to need any more pollution.

I don't know if this is karma for my good luck the last few times.

As I flipped through the pages, without exception, they were all pieces of trash I couldn't stand.

"The Krusty Krab's secret recipe? How can they sell something like that for 1 points? Oh, so he's transmigrated into Plankton. Never mind then..."

"A tiny black hole created by a tennis racket swing? This can actually be listed? For 20,000 points?"

"What do you mean by Kyubei's installation of water pipes?"

"Wait, what does Shin-chan's elephant mean?"

Xia Nuo's temper grew increasingly dark until the very last incident, when he could no longer bear it and shut down the system panel, his eyes twitching slightly.

He finally understood that this round of the trading market was featuring something peculiar.

He initially thought he would definitely gain a lot this time, but apart from the cultivation card, there wasn't a single one that caught his eye!
But this is good, it saves trouble.

This will allow him to solidify his resolve and focus all his energy on the same thing from now on.

Save up 50,000 points within a month and buy a card!
O wool of the four seas, your king is about to return!
Xia Nuo grinned, his gaze passing over the railing and looking towards the distant horizon.

And coincidentally, the grand banquet to celebrate the victory in the war is about to be held.

Let's start here and take the first step!

Search every sheep that will attend the banquet in the future, leaving no one out!
……

Two days later.

Dawn Island, now the headquarters of the Fallen Ones.

A grand celebration banquet, the largest since the founding of the company, is being held here as scheduled.

As night falls, the harbor lights begin to twinkle.

Ships continued to arrive, and many people in uniforms chatted and laughed as they made their way in twos and threes to the castle in the center of the island.

The insignia on these people's chests revealed that those attending the banquet came not only from combat regiments, but also from infrastructure regiments, training regiments, and garrison regiments...

They came from various islands in the New World, from the increasingly vast territories of the Fallen Ones; some were officials, while others were ordinary grassroots representatives.

Let's celebrate together the victory over the Marine Headquarters! Let's celebrate the complete victory of the Fallen Ones!

of course.

There were also some guests who weren't in uniform; these were allies who had come from afar, and partners from all walks of life.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the enormous Moby Dick, which is shaped like a beluga whale.

Marco walked at the front with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

He landed with several captains, including Diamond Jozu, Vista, and Izo, which immediately drew gasps and discussions from the onlookers.

"Hey, even the Whitebeard Pirates are here for the feast!"

"Hehe, of course! These days, who would dare to disrespect Lord Shano on this vast ocean? I heard even Whitebeard himself came here in person!"

"Huh? Really?! Well, I'd better go back and call my grandma right now. She was a big fan of Whitebeard when she was young!"

"Hahaha, hurry up and go call them! Do you think I'd lie to you? Look! Isn't that it coming down?"

……

In the center of the island, on Castle Square.

The place was already filled with long tables and bustling with people.

Every now and then, various delicacies and drinks are served, and the sizzling sound of the barbecue grill is intertwined with cheerful music.

The accompaniment came from a musician who had recently risen to fame in the New World. This renowned musician, accompanied by a giant whale, traveled freely, and many dreamed of attending one of his concerts, but could not come across one.

It seems that their appearance on Dawn Island this time wasn't at the invitation of the Fallen Ones.

It was because Lord Shano seemed to have done this musician a great favor in his early years.

The other party was grateful, so they took the initiative to come and sing for free as a way of repaying the favor.

"Let me perform 'Binks' Wine' for you all! Oh? The atmosphere's suddenly getting lively, isn't it? I can see it all! Ah, even though I'm blind, I can still feel everyone's enthusiasm, hehehe~"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Then, let's begin!"

Blue smiled and stood on the makeshift stage, sang loudly while deftly plucking the violin strings with his bony fingers.

"Yohohoho, yohohoho~"

"Yohohoho, yohohoho~"

"Bringing Binks's liquor to your side~"

"Like the sea breeze, free and unrestrained, riding the waves~"

The melodious singing and violin music echoed under the night sky, with people singing along from time to time, gradually pushing the banquet atmosphere to a climax.

Shano sat in the main seat, toasting and exchanging drinks with Whitebeard. The surrounding officers were also laughing and chatting. The two sides already had a good relationship, and after this joint operation, it had reached a new level.

"Come on, another drink, Newgate, can you still hold your liquor?"

"Nonsense, who do you think you are!"

Clang!

Shano raised his glass and clinked it heavily against Whitebeard's.

The wine rippled in the moonlight, reflecting two hearty, smiling faces.

"Goo la la la!"

Whitebeard tilted his head back and downed the drink in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and laughed heartily, "Good wine! Truly good wine! I can't even remember the last time I drank so heartily. It's a good thing Marco wasn't here, otherwise I would definitely have been stopped again..."

"I'm right here, Dad!"

At the next table, Marco said speechlessly, "Stop testing me. This is a super banquet to celebrate our great victory, so I'll let you drink as much as you want this time."

"Gurararara, you said it yourself!"

Whitebeard's eyes lit up, and he slammed his hand on the table, standing up so hard that the entire long table shook. "Men, drink up! Tonight, we won't stop until we're drunk!"

“OO ...

The members of the White Team cheered in unison.

Jozu carried two large barrels of fine wine, one on each shoulder. Whitebeard took them and, without even using a cup, began to drink them straight from the barrel.

Xia Nuo smiled and shook his head, glancing out of the corner of his eye as Brooke finished playing a piece and walked towards them.

The skeleton musician bowed slightly, offering an elegant greeting: "Lord Shano, are you satisfied with this piece?"

"A perfect performance."

Xia Nuo gave a thumbs-up in praise, then smiled and handed over a wine glass. "Let's have a drink together. By the way, how's Labu doing lately?"

"Thanks to you, I'm very happy every day now!"

Brooke chuckled and said that Labb was able to let go of his inner turmoil and stop self-harming at the foot of Upside Down Mountain entirely because of this man.

Even he himself was able to escape from the Devil's Triangle and wander the world with Laboon because of the other party.

In addition, over the past year, I've heard and witnessed many stories about those who have fallen from grace...

He held only the deepest respect for Xia Nuo.

How high is this level of reverence?
Even though Kuina and Robin, who were sitting next to Shano, were both very beautiful and charming ladies, Mr. Skeleton barely managed to resist the urge to ask to see the color of their underwear, which shows how beautiful they were.

He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After bowing to Shano again, Brooke returned to the stage in high spirits to continue his performance.

Receiving praise from my idol makes me even more motivated to do this job!

only……

Mr. Skeleton stood in front of the microphone, sometimes standing on tiptoe, sometimes lying down, looking around.

Finally, he stood there blankly, scratching his head in utter confusion.

Wait, where's my violin?
It was just here a moment ago. Could it have been secretly taken away by a naughty child?
Talk about it.

In The Fallen Ones, isn't there a young lady with a notoriously bad reputation?

Brook turned his head, his gaze, tinged with suspicion, landing on Nami, who was playfully teasing Gintoki...

…………

the other side.

The people at the table continued to drink to their hearts' content.

[You sacrificed Brooke's violin, gaining 1800 points]

not bad.

Xia Nuo turned his gaze away from the system panel with satisfaction.

The banquet was lively and bustling, and everyone drank quite a bit, making it really easy for them to start drinking.

Even if someone loses something, they would never suspect a certain highly respected "King of the Four Seas".

As a result, he had already made his way through the entire banquet by taking several trips to the restroom, and was now able to make his lavish escape.

Apart from Brooke.

There are also about a few dozen unclaimed opportunities, which provide 2600 points.

This brings his total points to 25000.

The goal of 50,000 points has been brought much closer, now only halfway there.

“Xia Nuo…”

A low murmur suddenly came from the other side.

Ok?
Shano raised his head and looked at Whitebeard with some confusion.

"You remember, right? You saved me twice. I promised you I would repay you handsomely..."

Whitebeard let out a burp; his face was flushed from drinking, and he was so drunk he was about to fall asleep on the table.

"Mmm, just remember that."

Xia Nuochun, ignoring the old man's apparent drunkenness, said, "Can't hold on any longer? I've already arranged your room. Shall we have someone help you over now?"

"Who's about to give up, kid!"

The old man suddenly shouted and slammed the wine barrel onto the table, silencing the entire square.

"Dad?"

The members of the white group instinctively looked over.

"Goo la la la la!"

Just when everyone thought the two big shots had gotten into some kind of argument, the white-bearded man braced himself with his hand and stood up straight. His nearly seven-meter-tall frame made him clearly visible to dozens of people at the surrounding tables.
"Hey! Looking around, it seems both families are all here. I have something important to tell you today!"

Whitebeard looked around, his gaze sweeping over the faces of every White Team leader and Fallen One cadre. He grinned, a hint of relief flashing in his drunken, hazy eyes.

"Gulalalala, I'm almost seventy years old this year."

He patted his muscular chest and chuckled, "Although I can still fight and still have some reputation, this war has made me realize one thing: the remnants of the old era should have left the stage long ago. This sea, this era, ultimately belongs to the young!"

Diamond Joz sensed something, his face showing astonishment, and he abruptly stood up: "Dad, what's wrong...?"

"Listen to what your father has to say, Joz."

Marco pushed Joz down.

"Marco."

Joz turned his head away.

Marco smiled slightly; clearly, this man who knew Whitebeard best had long anticipated his decision.

"so!"

Whitebeard laughed heartily and announced:

"From this day forward, I retire, and the Whitebeard Pirates are officially disbanded! All territories, shipping routes, trade, and all other assets under my control... shall be handed over to the Fallen Ones!"
