Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 379 Redeem Rewards
The reward exchange segment is always a happy one.

At the desk, a person, a dragon, and a cat are touching heads, looking at the thick booklets laid out on the desk.

Li Xia has a total of 140 contribution points available, which is a considerable number.

Capturing a pirate with a bounty of one billion only costs 100 points, and that's after deducting the cost of learning Fist Bone Haki.

Theoretically, Li Xia could teach Hei Tan after learning the skill, but in reality...
All I can say is that the Temple of Light has seen countless apostles exploit loopholes over the years.

Or rather, the predecessors and apostles blocked the path for many successors.

The temple explicitly forbids apostles from passing on skills to each other unless they obtain a license.

I heard that they caused a major incident before, resulting in heavy casualties among the apostles.

Therefore, you can't save these Hall Points. On the contrary, things like the Six Styles, which exist in the form of 'notes', can be viewed together in a small team, with a maximum of 5 people.

There is also a special kind of team in the temple. Several apostles pool their money to join this team, buy a 'notebook-style' technique to learn, and then simply disband after they have finished learning.

Li Xia calls these small teams "group buying teams".
"First of all, we definitely need a Devil Fruit, a Logia type—20 points."

Awoo used its paw to operate the smart tablet.

Choosing just one might result in a good one; if it's a powerful Logia-type, one of those is worth two or three weak Logia-types.

Definitely made money!

As for whether the Navy has any stockpiles, that would be a gross underestimation of the world's largest violent organization.

"Hmm, I'll buy one Devil Fruit, and two Great Swords—no, three, I'll just report it as one for me, one for Kuroko, and one for Awoo."

The fact that he wields a sword is well known within the navy, and this statement is easily accepted.

The Great Sword 21 is said to be only 21, but in reality there are more than 21, because the swords are constantly being produced.

Furthermore, swords in the One Piece world have the potential to evolve, just like Zoro's sword, which will eventually be forged into a 'black sword' by tempering Armament Haki.

Then who would dare say that the swords used by the Yonko's "second-in-command" aren't "Supreme Grade Swords"?

Just like when the Golden Lion was at his peak, his two swords, "Sakura Ju" and "Kureki," were once known as the Supreme Grade Swords.

In the words of the apostle, the Supreme Greatsword is equivalent to orange-tier equipment.

Then all twenty-one Great Swords would be 'Purple Ultimate', just one leap away from being supreme.

"Three purple-grade ultimate swords, 45 points!"

Awoo took a deep breath:

"Wow, these three knives alone must be worth four or five hundred thousand points, right?"

"It depends on the attributes. If the attributes are good, the price of swords and bladed weapons will easily exceed 200,000, while if they are not good, it will only be around 100,000."

The guild will take it to see if there's any way to change its attributes, or use it as a base.

Based on Li Xia's earnings, he could have easily equipped himself with top-quality clothing from head to toe long ago.

The main reason why I didn't spend too much effort on equipment other than those few things was because of the progress.

His progress is too fast; he's basically reached level one in just three worlds.

For other apostles, being able to reach a mid-level position in three worlds would be considered a decent return. Even for those who are seeds of major guilds, it generally takes about five worlds before they can advance to the next level.

It is precisely because of his speed that the rewards from the Hall of Light's dynamic matching mechanism have become increasingly outrageous.

In this situation, spending time and effort to acquire top-tier gear for the current level will only lead to it becoming outdated in a short time. It's better not to invest in it at all and instead spend the money on more useful things.

He slowly searched for equipment that could grow alongside him.

"Should we make a Zoan type and a Paramecia type too?"

Aowu suddenly had a brilliant idea: "How about we say it's for us to eat?" Li Xia's eyes lit up; that seemed like a good idea too.

Zoan and Paramecia type Devil Fruits are also popular in the Hall of Light if they are of good quality.

For example, many Paramecia-type abilities are quite good, but their effects are greatly reduced outside the One Piece world. For instance, the 'Multiply Fruit' only increases the power by about three times at most.

Even for an apostle, this is incredibly powerful. This fruit was obtained by a lucky individual and was exchanged for by a major guild with 100 million Hall Points and a C-grade bloodline.

"So now you have 87 contribution points, and 63 points left."

Li Xia simply crossed out 3 more points:
"Lieutenant General He told me that there would be a discount for his first promotion to vice admiral. The original 10 points for a medium-sized naval warship would be reduced to 3 points."

Customizing one would be a good idea.

Navy warships and pirate ships are on completely different levels, both in terms of sturdiness and size.

The vice admiral's ship, in particular, was so well-built and powerful that it was no exaggeration to say that one ship could suppress a pirate ship.

Moreover, as a vice admiral, not having his own ship always feels like being a low-ranking vice admiral.

This is also a required option.

"That's quite a good deal, boss. How about we order some more Seastone weapons?"

Seastone weapons?
Li Xia pondered for a moment, then shook her head:
"Forget it, Seastone weapons are only good for being sturdy. They wouldn't be worth much even if you sold them to the Hall of Fame. Now that we all have Overlord Aura, we don't really need Seastone anymore."

Flipping through the thick booklet, I found it contained a wide variety of information, including many noble titles from the affiliated kingdoms.

In addition, there are accompanying catalogs, such as descriptions of swords, kingdoms, and houses.

That's why it looks so thick.

Li Xia continued turning the pages, then stopped.

I stared at the text above and tapped it:
"I am somewhat interested in this."

Awoo and Black Charcoal nudged their heads closer:
"Vegapunk - Customized to your needs? 30 contribution points?"

It hissed and cried out, "Wow, so expensive?"

Of course it's expensive. Vegapunk is a treasure of the World Government, and his role is incredibly important.

Many research breakthroughs were achieved under Vegapunk's leadership.

So he is very busy.

The 30 contribution points are also to take into account that some naval personnel may have special needs, such as a family member suffering from a terminal illness.

"But boss, why are we spending contribution points to buy one?"

Li Xia turned her head and looked at the red dog lying at her feet:

"Vegapunk invented a technology that allows inanimate objects like weapons to eat Devil Fruits."

Aowu and Heitan were stunned for a moment, then their eyes widened even more.

"Holy crap! Red Dog ate a Devil Fruit? Doesn't seem to make any sense!"

Despite their various drawbacks, it's undeniable that Devil Fruits are currently power multipliers!
If Red Dog can also eat the right Devil Fruit, the strength of the entire team will undoubtedly be further enhanced!

Li Xia put down the booklet in her hand with satisfaction:
"That's all for now. The Straw Hat crew should be arriving at Sabaody Archipelago soon. Let's get ready."

The Marineford War is just around the corner!
