One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Luffy isn't very familiar with the four current Emperors of the Sea, so he needs Robin, the Straw Hat crew's top intelligence strategist, to clear up his doubts.

"After the Marineford War, the power structure of the Four Emperors changed. Whitebeard's position was taken by his traitorous son Blackbeard, leaving the remaining three emperors: Kaido, Shanks, and Charlotte Linlin."

Through Robin's words, the changes at sea five years later are described to the audience outside the light screen. The Four Emperors' pirate crews, to varying degrees, have all experienced an increase in their power.

Blackbeard Teach, the most renowned of the Four Emperors, not only reclaimed all of Whitebeard's former territory but also crushed the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates with overwhelming strength, making him a prime target for the Navy's purge. However, this Yonko is still living a very comfortable life.

Charlotte Linlin has reconciled with the Giant Kingdom, now commands a large number of giant mercenaries, and has given birth to an exceptionally powerful child.

There's not much new information about Kaido in Wano Country, and the information about Momonosuke is already quite detailed, so Robin doesn't have much to add.

Aside from drifting around the seas for the past five years, Shanks hasn't accomplished much. He's been holding banquets one after another, and it seems like he's just going to retire in his position as one of the Four Emperors.

Before Robin could finish her sentence, Sanji cut it short. The fresh ingredients he had bought in Dressrosa had already been transformed into delicious dishes by the chef. He walked out of the kitchen and called out to the crowd on the lawn, "Let's talk about this later. Let's not wait for that pervert Franky. Tonight, let's have a feast and let the two Wano Country samurai taste my culinary skills."

It was finally time to eat again, the happiest time of Luffy's day. Since Shanks was alright, he didn't need to worry too much. He could eat and drink as usual without delaying anything.

The Wano Country samurai and the Straw Hat Pirates thus successfully formed an alliance, a hasty method that perfectly suits the Straw Hat crew's style of doing things.

The missing crew member on the Thousand Sunny is currently experiencing a minor incident: the monstrous robot Franky, who was initially only accepting services from human women, has inadvertently joined a secret show.

Chapter 112 Trafalgar Law

What exactly did Franky do?

Perhaps only Robin knows the true identity of the people on the Straw Hat Pirates. This mature and thoughtful older sister learned through intelligence that there is a place in Dressrosa that normal men like to go.

Luffy is racing on his path to his dream, and he won't consider romantic feelings along the way; Zoro has always been a sword fanatic, and he'll probably spend his whole life with a famous sword; Sanji might have been a normal man five years ago, but five years later he calls the two women on the Sunny sisters, so calling him a man now would be an insult to transvestites; Brook is a skeleton, and even if he wanted to have sex, he wouldn't have the corresponding body parts.

Chopper and Fitz have no interest in human women, and the only normal man on the ship is Usopp, who is already taken and his sweetheart is waiting for him to return in the East Blue.

Franky, originally a cyborg, still retained human emotions. After five years of exposure to the technology of the Belial Punks, he finally decided to abandon his human body. This is his storyline with Ultron, which will not be elaborated on here.

Although Brook is a skeleton, he retains human emotions and eats and drinks the same way he did in life. Even though his bones cannot absorb these things, he only uses them to maintain his human identity. He has no interest in being the master of the dead or any kind of soul.

Franky learned from this musician and studied Brook's behavioral logic. He retained his original lifestyle and habits according to his former way of life, thus maintaining the remaining humanity of the robot, which was attributed by the quantum computer in his brain to a kind of human role-playing.

If he were to become a cold, emotionless machine, it would go against Franky's original intention of transforming himself. After hundreds of millions of self-computations, the robot Franky achieved a result: as long as he maintained his abnormal personality and behavior, his original human nature would not disappear. Right now, he is in Dressrosa's most notorious den of iniquity.

The Don Quixote family continued their relentless pursuit of liberalization, pursuing gambling, prostitution, and drugs simultaneously, using tourism merely as a means to attract visitors.

Franky's place, the Passion House, is the most famous and luxurious establishment in this red-light district. It was opened by Diamanti, a member of the Don Quixote family. On the one hand, it gathers almost all the handsome men and beautiful women on the island. On the other hand, it buys beautiful slaves on the black market to provide tourists with services at different price points. There is no such thing as "selling art but not sex" here.

Moreover, the House of Passion does not discriminate based on race. As long as customers have Beli, whether they are giants, mermaids, long-armed people, or any other race, they are all guests. The ladies and gentlemen inside will not let anyone leave until they have squeezed every last penny out of their patrons.

"The service at this welcoming house is really attentive, but the prices are too high for the average tourist," Franky said, his mechanical body speaking in a voice that mimicked his past voice, one of the pieces of evidence that he still had some humanity left.

"Frankie, you look so cool in that outfit!"

"Yes, yes, we love robots the most!"

Two bikini-clad beauties were embraced by the robot Franky, one on each side. The cold, metallic feel of the robot offered no warmth to the women; they were merely putting on an act.

Why would women like robots? Franky analyzed the micro-expressions of the two hostesses and easily arrived at the answer, but he didn't call them out on it directly.

The small private room he was in cost one million Berries. He ordered drinks and two hostesses, and Franky spent another one million Berries. Most of these bikini-clad beauties only provide emotional value; you can touch them if you give them a tip. But if you want to have sex, it's not this price; you have to pay a lot more.

Franky, a monster with a completely metallic body, was someone the House of Passion had never entertained before. He was waving a wad of large bills of Berries in his hand, which was quite a feat; they wouldn't have entertained him unless it was for the sake of the money.

Initially, no hostesses dared to serve the metal monster. Some of the girls had served an ugly fishman before. Although they earned a lot in one session, they were completely exhausted and had to stay in bed for half a year before they could take on customers again.

These two beautiful women had only recently joined the Passion House and, being relatively inexperienced, had no say in the matter. They were powerless to refuse such an eccentric guest, and that's how Frankie became their patron.

Contrary to expectations, Franky didn't do anything too perverse to the two hostesses. He only hugged and kissed them, and didn't abuse them by taking advantage of his physical strength. It's fair to say that these two girls met a good man. The robot's original intention was just to experience life here.

Seeing that Frankie was so easy to talk to, the young woman naturally didn't miss the opportunity to promote her business. "Sir, is this your first time here? I wonder if you've heard that our Passion House hosts a private Crazy Horse Show on certain days, and the dancers on stage are all stunning beauties. I'm sure you'll love it."

As a female employee of the Passion House, if she introduces (or tricks) a customer into attending the Crazy Horse Show, the hostess will receive a considerable commission, enough for her to work for a month. This shows how expensive the ticket price for this show is.

The minimum entry price is 100 million Berries, which is really not something that ordinary guests can afford. Fortunately, Franky has his own independent treasury and has sold a lot of small inventions over the past five years, so he doesn't have to have his pocket money controlled by Nami like the other crew members.

Crazy Horse is actually similar to striptease. Many of the dancers on stage are female celebrities from all over the world who use their bodies to gain fame. In the past, there have even been mermaid-themed performances. In short, it's the most comfortable place for men to stare at, and it doesn't seem illegal no matter how you look at it.

After hearing the hostess's recommendation, Franky couldn't help but think to himself, "What's with the 'Crazy Horse Show'? It should just be called the 'Bitch Show'! Who are they trying to show this disgusting stuff to?"

"Since you're recommending it so enthusiastically, I'll go take a look. I should still have enough time."

"Okay, Mr. Franky, I love you!"

The metal robot and two bikini-clad beauties left the private room and headed towards the Crazy Horse Show venue. There were quite a few patrons coming in this direction, all of them adorned with gold and silver and rings on all ten fingers. Only the super-rich could afford to attend this show.

"Hey, your Passion House even hosts a polar bear! Wow, you have a wide range of services," Franky couldn't help but tease as he spotted a polar bear in the crowd.

Beside the polar bear was a hooded man. Franky's computer brain quickly deciphered the true identities of these two people: they were pirates.

"The newly appointed Shichibukai Trafalgar Law has actually appeared here. Things are getting more and more interesting."

Franky, accompanied by two female companions, followed behind the Heart Pirates to join tonight's grand spectacle.

Chapter 113 Mermaid Host

Humans truly are the most despicable creatures. Even Franky, a life form transformed from a human into a machine, had to admit at this moment that his perversion had greatly underestimated the limits of humanity.

The Crazy Horse Show is not simply a striptease show; it merely uses the name of a striptease show to attract attention by showcasing the Don Quixote family's precious collection.

There are precedents for reselling these collectibles if the audience members present are willing to pay exceptionally high prices on the spot. In short, the Crazy Horse show is a combination of pornography, distortion, and attention-grabbing, challenging the moral bottom line of humanity in the name of freedom.

"They're really going all out. I thought I was already pretty extreme, but I didn't expect there to be other experts like them," Franky said, carrying two hostesses in his arms as he walked towards the show's entrance.

The minimum entry fee is 100 million Berries. Staff members of the House of Passion do not need tickets to enter; they are accompanied by staff and receive an extra tip.

The robot opened its body in front of everyone, transforming its left chest into a vault. Franky took out stacks of Berries from it and handed them to the three-eyed tribal toll collector at the door.

The waiter counted the collected Baileys, and after confirming the amount was correct, he respectfully handed the admission ticket to the guest with both hands, bowing deeply. "I hope you enjoy the show. If you have any complaints, please contact the staff at the Passion House, and we will resolve them for you."

After presenting the admission card, the three-eyed man also handed over three masks. Protecting the privacy of guests is one of the principles of the House of Passion. Most of the guests attending the Crazy Horse Show are either rich or noble, and concealing their identities can only benefit Dressrosa.

The hostess thoughtfully put a mask on Franky, and then the two women also put on their own preferred masks. After entering the venue, apart from the patrons, everyone else was assumed to be a stranger, so they tried to minimize interaction and focus on watching the show to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"Frankie, let's go, let's go. This is my first time in the Crazy Horse Show; I've only heard about it from my friends before."

"It's truly a blessing for my sister and me to meet Uncle Franky today."

The bikini-clad women, each holding Frankie on one side, were even more excited than their patron to see the world today. Even though the metallic exterior could only reflect coldness, it could not extinguish the women's fiery hearts.

Franky touched the texture of the invitation. It was an anonymous admission card. Without wasting the computing power of a quantum computer, he could tell it was made of gold. After attending the Crazy Horse Show, the admission card didn't need to be returned; it could be kept as a souvenir.

The interior of the venue resembled an opera house. Since Frankie had only paid the lowest-priced ticket, he couldn't sit in the front row and could only sit in the back. The back rows were first-come, first-served, and whoever sat there got to sit there.

"Let's go there," Franky pointed to a spot for the two hostesses. It wasn't a great spot, as the view was a bit limited, but all the other spots were taken. If they didn't sit there, they would have to go to an even worse place.

After taking his seat, Franky turned his attention to the customers in the first three rows. He was more interested in the Shichibukai and, using the quantum computer in his brain, filtered out the surrounding noise and remotely analyzed the conversation between Trafalgar Law and the white bear.

The Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates met in the Sabaody Archipelago and were attacked together by Admiral Kizaru. Law helped the Straw Hat crew escape. He was a pirate supernova at the time, but unexpectedly, he became a Shichibukai five years later.

"Captain, why did we come to a place like this? There are so many people here. If only there were a mother bear," a polar bear actually spoke while wearing a mask. Even with the mask on, he couldn't hide the bear fur on his body.

Character Notes: Heart Pirates, Mink Tribe - Bepo

The man wearing a crying face mask sat with his legs crossed elegantly, a long knife beside him. There were no staff members from the "House of Enthusiasm" serving the couple; they had probably been chased away by him. It's really strange that they don't like beautiful women coming here.

“There are no female bears at Bepo’s Passion House. Once I’m done with my business this year, I can find you as many female bears as you want,” the man said, staring intently at the stage with a resentful look that stood out from the other customers present.

Character Notes: Trafalgar Law, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and captain of the Heart Pirates, is a user of the Paramecia-type Op-Op Fruit.

Franky watched them from behind for a while but didn't hear any important conversation. However, as a robot, he still had patience.

Once the Crazy Horse Show's ticket sales have ended, no staff or customers will enter the venue to ensure that the audience can enjoy the show without being disturbed.

The lights in the audience area were turned off, and the BMW show was about to begin. The first host to take the stage greatly surprised Frankie. He never expected to run into a familiar face from five years ago in such a place.

The host of this show was a particularly sexy green-haired mermaid. Her three most important points were only covered by seashells, while the rest of her body was completely exposed to the guests. This adult mermaid had already grown legs and was truly a rare and exquisite beauty.

"I'm sure you're all familiar with me by now. Today, I, Kemi, will be hosting this show for you. Let me give you a sneak peek: tonight we'll be showcasing a mysterious artifact that you'll never expect," Kemi said, blowing kisses to the audience and offering her beauty.

Mermaid slaves are extremely expensive; people without status can't afford to collect them. Having such a natural beauty to grace the passionate household is incredibly prestigious. People who want to sleep with her could probably line up right outside the door.

The mermaid host on stage made witty remarks and occasionally told dirty jokes to the customers in the front row. Kemi not only showed off her body to the guests, but her passionate personality also won a lot of praise, warming up the audience for the upcoming Wind Horse Show.

"She's really changed a lot. No wonder I didn't see her on Fishman Island. I didn't expect to see Cammy here. What has she been through all these years?" Franky recalled his memories through his computer brain. The difference between Cammy five years ago and Cammy five years later was too great. They were completely two extremes.

I remember she used to be a particularly clumsy mermaid, rather confused in her manner and style, and very easily fooled. She was eaten by sea monsters dozens of times. When Franky first met Camie, she gave him the feeling of a girl next door.

Kemi's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding before, partly because she was young and hadn't fully matured. Most adult mermaids are beautiful, but where did this wanton personality come from?

Chapter 114 Artwork

In Franky's previous understanding, mermaids did not like being enslaved by humans. Given the chance, they would definitely escape. The vast majority of mermaids who were bought and sold were locked in transparent cages all day long and treated as ornamental fish for their owners to admire.

The fact that Cammy works at a place like the House of Passion, and that she's dressed so provocatively—basically practically naked—doesn't change the fact that even if Franky doesn't think the worst, it doesn't change the fact.

"Sir, did you know this mermaid before?"

"I'm not too familiar with her. I saw her near the Sabaody Archipelago once. I never expected her to become like this," Franky said with some emotion. The changes in the past five years have truly made her different.

"Oh, I see. This mermaid named Camie was indeed captured from the Sabaody Archipelago. She resisted fiercely when she was brought to Dressrosa, but after several years of training, she is now a qualified employee of the House of Passion."

"Uncle Franky, I've heard some rumors, please don't be offended. Some business groups that do business with the Don Quixote family specifically request the mermaid to accompany their clients. She has generated a lot of value for that family with her body, and now she's nominally considered a half-cadre."

As Franky listened to the two hostesses recount their experiences, he gradually pieced together Cammy's ordeal over the past few years. When exceptional beauty is bestowed upon a weak person, it can only lead to a tragedy from beginning to end.

After Camie was captured and taken to Dressrosa, the original intention was to sell her to the Celestial Dragons. However, Diamante, an executive, had a different idea. Selling the mermaid was just a one-off deal. The Passion House needed such a top-quality woman, and he would squeeze every last drop of value out of her to bring Doflamingo the greatest benefit.

Through daily abuse and verbal brainwashing, Kemi eventually became the most profitable tool of the Passion House. Like the courtesans of ancient times, people of all races spent lavishly to win her favor.

For the Don Quixote family’s important partner, Camie is the best tool for lust. Enjoying the body of a mermaid is something most people can’t do in their lifetime. The mermaid slaves sold in the Sabaody Archipelago, with an entry price of hundreds of millions of Berries, would deter many people.

With such a stunning beauty as a temptation, how many men could resist? Even if it meant losing money with the Don Quixote family, these old lechers would be willing to spend a night with Cammy.
