Onmyoji of the Grand Line
Page 86
Deep within the pleasure district, at a massive, castle-like place, they were led by a maid to a study-like area. Stusi sat down in his assigned seat, crossed his long legs, and smiled, saying, "Mr. Seimei, please have a seat!"
Seimei didn't mind and sat down on the other side, smiling as he said, "Miss Stussy, I don't like wasting time, so let's get straight to the point: how's your preparation for the deal?"
"Hehehe~~~"
Stussy chuckled and said, "Mr. Seimei, you are really impatient! But I can understand. Did you bring the samples over? As long as they are over, and there are no problems after I test them, we can begin."
"Of course!"
With a casual flick of his wrist, a streak of azure light flashed, and a multitude of weapons landed on the floor of the spacious study. These weapons ranged from firearms, bullets, shells, cannons, to all sorts of more advanced weaponry. Don't be surprised; in this world, many people dislike using firearms, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Just look at the various weapons Baby-5 has created—they all exist.
Stussy looked at the large number of weapons and Seimei's nonchalant attitude, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Take these weapons down for testing."
"Yes!"
The maidservant immediately and respectfully withdrew. Soon, a large number of guards entered and took away all the weapons for testing. Stusi and Seimei fell into silence. Stusi could tell that Seimei was not a person who liked small talk.
In that case, the ability to speak to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language was very easy for Stussy. Stussy just waited quietly for the results to arrive, and soon someone came to report.

Nodding quietly, Stuart looked at Seimei's smiling face and said with a smile, "Mr. Seimei, just as you said, all the weapons you are carrying are more than twice the price on the market. So, what price would you like to offer?"
Seimei said very simply, "800 billion Berries a year. As for how much money you can make from these weapons, Wano Country doesn't care. As for the quantity? You can rest assured, it's a definite quantity."
Looking at the list that Seimei took out, Stussy wasn't particularly shocked. As the CP0, they were backed by a behemoth like the World Government. A mere 800 million Berries was nothing. Stussy carefully reviewed the list and made calculations.
It can be said!
If these weapons were manufactured at market prices, that is, the Navy's prices, they would cost around 2000 billion Berries. However, the same applies to other military equipment. We need to pay four times the price to buy them, and then sell them back to us. In other words, we might be able to make 200 billion Berries!
....... .... 0
However! Remember this: this price can be earned by Stussy, but it's impossible for Seimei to achieve it. Everyone has their own expertise, and outsiders simply cannot do what he does in such a specialized field.
"Hmm~"
Stussy pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Seimei, I have no objection to this contract! However, there is one thing I would like to inquire about: Does Wano Country possess any other weapons? Could they be provided to us with priority?"
Seimei had already guessed Stussy's thoughts and smiled, saying, "No problem! We have just as many weapons as there are on the market, more than three times the quantity. If you are interested, these weapons can be given to you. However, I have no intention of selling these weapons, so you will need to pay a higher price to purchase them."
"Hmm~"
Stussy pondered for a moment, then said directly, "1500 billion. I'll handle the weapons transactions on the market, and I'll get priority for selling the more advanced weapons!"
"not enough!"
"1700."
"not enough!"
"2000 million!"
“Mr. Seimei, this is already the limit. Even I cannot afford a higher price. Moreover, as you know, such returns are already terrifying. Even several superpowers would find it almost impossible to achieve.”
Stussy really had to admit that this world was ten times the size of the original Blue Star, and even so, 2000 billion Berries a year was an incredibly terrifying amount. Even a superpower, a top behemoth in the world, would need about three years to obtain such a huge profit.
If this were an ordinary country, it might be impossible to achieve in a lifetime! This is a terrifying number, and it's the largest number that Stussy could offer, a number that had been prepared from the beginning. If Seimei still doesn't agree, then there's nothing that can be done.
Seimei pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"

Chapter 96: The Four Superpowers and the Three Dark Emperors
"Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Seimei and Stuart shook hands with smiles, and the deal was finalized. This was a massive arms deal, arguably the largest arms deal in the world.
Why has the Navy been able to dominate the world all this time? Pirates are often no match for it. Besides having a huge advantage in top-tier combat power, the Navy also has a huge advantage in every other aspect. Because of this, the Navy has advantages in weaponry and the pacifists that will emerge in the future.
These amazing weapons are the fundamental reason why the Navy can overwhelm the pirates. You think Edward is strong? Garp and Zephyr! The three admirals of the Navy! What about your remaining men? See if the Pacifistas can just bombard you and wipe you out. This is the most crucial point, the most important fundamental point. For the whole world, the Navy's weapons are simply too powerful. And now, Seimei can bring out weapons that surpass the world's twice as powerful, and can even provide Stussy with three times the number of weapons.
That's enough. For the World Government, they secretly research weapons, but they absolutely need to master the more advanced weapons available on the market. As for whether Seimei knows who Stussy's master is, that's not important! In the eyes of the Five Elders, "743" means that when Seimei becomes the emperor of Wano Country instead of a crazy pirate, it's already destined that they won't pay much attention to him.
madman!
A ruthless and powerful figure!
Which is more terrifying? For monsters like the Five Elders who rule the world, the madman is of course more terrifying, because the madman has no scruples. Just like a madman like Rocks, you have no idea what he is capable of doing. However, it is different for a tyrant. He has things to consider, so balancing is easy for the Five Elders.
Of course!
Seimei only pondered these matters briefly without going into deeper consideration. These things were meaningless to him, or even of any use. The final transaction price was not simply Berries, but 1500 billion Berries and 30 Devil Fruits per year, which was an astonishing amount.
Normally, the market price of a Devil Fruit is around 1 million Berries, so these 30 Devil Fruits would be worth 60 billion Berries, or at most 500 billion Berries. The fact that the price has decreased by 30 billion Berries suggests that the Devil Fruits are more important. With 30 Devil Fruits a year, it doesn't matter what kind they are; it's purely a matter of luck. Seimei was very satisfied, and Stussy thought it wouldn't be a problem either.
creak!
Back at the inn, Seimei checked into a super luxurious five-star hotel. After all, he was really rich now. 1500 billion yen had been handed over to Seimei, along with 30 Devil Fruits. Seimei also handed over the weapons he had prepared to Stussy.
Storage Talisman!
This kind of talisman was also exposed to Stussy, but! This was also what Seimei strangely revealed to Stussy.
"Master Harumi!"
Upon entering the hotel, White Wolf pondered for a moment and asked, "You exposed your storage talisman. Won't that have any consequences for you?"
In the Heian period, storage talismans were not difficult to obtain. Basically, any Onmyoji with even a slightly better understanding of Onmyodo could easily master them, and some even sold them directly. However, they do not exist in this world, and exposing them now is not an easy thing to do.
Seimei gently shook his folding fan, his fox-like eyes narrowing slightly as he said with amusement, "This is not a bad thing at all. In fact, it's the most appropriate thing to make the other party feel that my talismans are my abilities. At that time, the transaction can naturally continue, and the talismans can also be used as a form of trade."
"Ok!"
White Wolf nodded knowingly, while Seimei, looking at the 30 Devil Fruits in front of him, summoned the white fox phantom in one go and swallowed all 30 Devil Fruits in one gulp without hesitation. However, this time, he did not rush to consume all the Devil Fruits, but planned to wait until the auction ended.
Now that we have money, of course we should spend it. What's the point of having money if we don't spend it? It's completely useless! It's worthless, like a piece of waste paper. This time, Seimei plans to spend his money at the auction.
"Wind Fox!"
"Master Harumi!"
The phantom of the wind fox appeared. As a sensible yokai, the wind fox could not possibly share a room with Lord Seimei. Instead, it lived next door so that it could hear Lord Seimei's calls at any time.
Seimei pondered for a moment and said, "Fengli, go and gather some information. I want to know what exactly happened at the auction, and what the situation was like. Who is the mastermind behind it? Get all the information back."
"Yes!"
Fengli lowered her head slightly and then disappeared without a trace. These things were far too easy for Fengli, as if they were commonplace, even extremely easy. She could control everything with ease.
As Fengli left, Qingming narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment, "What exactly is going on? Or rather, who is the other party, and what do they want to do? This auction seems to be completely meaningless!"
……
Snapped!
Snapped!
Stussy stepped into a dimly lit room, dialed a Den Den Mushi, and after the Den Den Mushi answered, he respectfully knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "My lords! The transaction is complete. Just as initially predicted, the 2500 billion Berries have been reduced to 1500 billion Berries. At the same time, the 50 Devil Fruits have also been reduced to 30 Devil Fruits."
"Ok!"
A faint voice rang out from the Den Den Mushi, seemingly waiting for Stussy to speak. Stussy didn't waste any words and continued, "Just as you five gentlemen have speculated, Kurozumi Seimei values Devil Fruits very much. He doesn't care what a Devil Fruit actually is; as long as it's a Devil Fruit, that's fine with him."
"at the same time!"
"The weapons purchased, more than twice the market value, have all been bought and sold by me. All the weapons that were three times the market value have also been given to us. In addition, he seems to have given me a kind of talisman called a storage talisman. It is very simple to use, but it has a very powerful effect."
"Ok!"
The Five Elders' voices remained calm as Stussy continued, "Whether Kurozumi Seimei is the legendary Onmyoji of Wano Country is uncertain, but we can be somewhat certain that Kurozumi Seimei likely possesses a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit similar to the Talisman Fruit, and fights using talismans. This possibility is very high."
"Ok!"
The report ended there, and Stussy stood up, seemingly deep in thought. Normally, he should have left immediately, but this time, he didn't. Instead, he waited for something. This auction was not to be missed; it was extremely important to everyone involved...
……
"Master Harumi!"
In just three hours, Fengli returned, his expression serious as he pondered, "Lord Qingming! According to my inquiries, the owners behind this auction are the four superpowers and the three dark emperors. I cannot find out why they would suddenly organize such an auction."
Feng Li shook his head seriously. This matter was indeed very important, but he really couldn't find out why they had set up the auction. It was not an easy task to find out why they had set up the auction.
"The four superpowers".
"The Three Dark Emperors".
"Hmm~"
Seimei squinted as he pondered. If the seven major powers were involved, the situation would be completely different. On this ocean, besides the invincible behemoth that is the World Government, there are many other terrifying and powerful forces.
The future Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors form three major forces that maintain the balance of the seas. This has already proven how powerful they are. There are also some other enormous forces that have existed in the seas for a very long time, even hundreds or thousands of years. Because of this, they have become a powerful part of this world.
For example, among these four superpowers, the Elbaf Giant Kingdom of the New World was once a true super empire, ruling the world and seemingly poised to overthrow the World Government. However, because it was too powerful, it was attacked by all sides and split into the Elbaf Warrior Kingdom and the Elbaf Warrior Village, but it is still one of the superpowers.
Lingling said that if she could obtain the power of the giants, she would have already swept away the other four emperors, and even Whitebeard could have been easily swept away. This is the power of the giants. Even after the split, they are still the most powerful of the four superpowers.
The second is the Adam Kingdom of the New World. This is a kingdom that rose to power thanks to the precious tree Adam. It is extremely powerful, and moreover, within the empire, there is a power that has been passed down through generations. It is said to be the power of a mythical beast, but no one knows for sure.
The third, of course, is the Alabasta Kingdom of the Grand Line. Don't be fooled by how miserable it was in the original work. That might have been because it was sabotaged, most likely by the World Government. The Alabasta Kingdom of today is a true superpower, so powerful that it's like a monster.
