One Piece: Who still has dreams?

"Huh?" The pirates present were stunned.

Nami has given you a mission: Destroy the pirates.

[Estimated Difficulty: ★]

Before Eureka could react, a 10-kilogram, half-meter-long sea stone stick slammed into his face, and he could almost hear the sound of his facial bones shattering echoing in his mind.

……

All the pirates saw was Redio raise his hand and a long sword and a three-section staff fall out of thin air.

The long sword fell to the ground, while he grabbed the three-section staff, swung it around, and sent their captain flying.

It spun in mid-air into a human-shaped top, with blood spraying in a circular pattern...

-----------------

Half an hour later, on the beach, Nami had untied the ropes binding her. She then realized that Redio had tied her up with a slipknot from the beginning, and as long as she found the right method, she could easily escape.

I was really terrified! Otherwise, with my intelligence and resourcefulness, how could I not have noticed?

Nami angrily slapped her cheeks. It was all that guy's fault—so mysterious, so inexplicable, so strange, so self-centered, he was just not...

She slowly froze, seeing the figure emerging from the woods.

After knocking the Tulip Pirates' captain away with a single blow, Reddio quickly subdued all the pirates present and drove them into the island's forest, where they only emerged now.

He had a blood-stained three-section staff hanging from his shoulder, and a long, gleaming sword dragged in his hand, blood constantly dripping from its blade...

Reddio wiped his mouth, casually swung his knife to the side, and with a whoosh, all the blood on the chef's knife flew out and splattered onto the tree trunk next to him.

"What's wrong?" He noticed that Nami's gaze was a little strange.

Nami's face paled slightly: "What...what did you do to them?"

Redio asked in surprise, "Isn't this the mission you gave me to wipe out all these pirates?"

"I said kill them! I just want you to defeat them!"

"Same idea." Redio casually tossed Youyun into slot 1 of the three-in-one device, poured in 1 essence into slot 2, did a simple repair, and all the bloodstains were cleaned up as well.

As for the Imperial Chef, he wouldn't use it. How could such a fine knife be stained with this kind of blood?

That is, when Reddio was about to pack the knife and nunchuck together as a whole and throw them into the system's inventory, he suddenly froze.

[System Inventory (1/3): Seastone x131000; (Empty); (Empty)]

Why are there 3 slots in my backpack now?

Redio checked the mission log, and sure enough, the result of the 1-star mission that Nami had verbally requested was:

[Task Completed]

[Quest Rewards: 50 Essence; 1 System Backpack Slot]

[Remaining Essence: 2185]

A mere 1-star difficulty quest actually gave me a backpack slot!

Nami, you're not a little thief cat, you're a lucky cat!

Redio was very happy and gathered the chef and Youyun together, throwing them into his backpack as if they were one thing.

The system's backpack slots are accessed in the same way they were put in.

In theory, Redio could put both the knife and the nunchaku in the boat, placing the boat and the knife together in the same system inventory slot. However, in this case, he would not be able to take out the knife or the nunchaku separately; he would have to take out the entire boat.

[System Inventory (2/3): Seastone x131000; Weapons x2; (Empty)]

Redio clapped his hands, and seeing Nami still frowning and looking uncomfortable, he said, "I have evidence that this group of pirates destroyed more than one village. Their deaths will only make the world a better place."

"What evidence?" Nami asked, puzzled.

It's just the system's task introduction, what evidence?

Redio said, "If we spare their lives, and they bring misfortune to others in the future, will the blame fall on me or on you?"

Nami was speechless and sighed, "How dare you say that to me? Did you throw up when you killed someone? I saw you wiping your mouth when you came out."

Reddio: "I was tired from chopping, so I just grabbed a bite to eat."

Nami scoffed, "Who are you kidding? You're tired?"

"Hey, hey, that's an exaggeration. I'm just a newbie..."

Reddio and Nami chatted and laughed as they walked along the beach coastline, soon finding the Tulip Pirates' ship in a cove. It was slightly smaller than the Buggy Pirates' ship, but still quite imposing and enormous.

According to the system's assessment, Buggy's pirate ship has over 7 essences.

Even if this Tulip Pirate Ship, which is of similar size, is not as good, it would probably still be worth tens of thousands.

Redio is sometimes really frustrated. Why can this broken system only synthesize and not decompose?

If we could dismantle such a pirate ship into its essence, wouldn't that be incredibly lucrative?

Ugh, system!

Reddio shook his head and leaned against the bow of the Tulip Pirates' ship, while Nami piloted the ship slowly to the side of Buggy's Pirates' ship, which was moored at the shore. *Thump*, the bows of the ships gently bumped together.

Redio pulled Nami off the ship together.

He reached out and pressed his hands against the sides of the two ships, one on each side.

After waiting for a while, nothing happened...

Nami looked puzzled: "What are you doing?" Then, realizing what she was doing, she exclaimed in surprise, "Are you planning to make these two ships disappear, like you turn into your knife? How is that possible? These ships are so big!"

Redio said, "It's not impossible, but there are rats on the ship."

According to the laws of the universe, things like spatial rings and system backpacks cannot contain living beings.

If there are rat nests in the hold or crevices of the ship's planks, they can't be stored in your inventory, and therefore can't be used for synthesis in the [Three-in-One] interface. This isn't the Gluttony-Gluttony Fruit...

Chapter 13: Settling Accounts with Nami

"Help! My life is in my hands!!"

Redio was wandering around Buggy's pirate ship, patting here and stepping on there, thinking about how to catch mice, when suddenly Nami came running through the ship's passageway crying and screaming—then she scrambled back and ran towards Redio, tears streaming down her face.

Thump, thump...

A strange sound of footsteps approached in the corridor, sounding both heavy and light.

"Waaah..."

A huge lion with its mane bristling poked its head out, trying to follow Nami into the cabin. But when it looked up and saw Redio, its eyes, which had been glowing green with hunger, immediately cleared.

Nami hid behind Redio and cried, "How could I forget about it!"

This is the lion owned by the animal trainer and the vice-captain of the Buggy Pirates. It was originally captured along with the others, but somehow escaped and is now playing hide-and-seek on this ship.

Redio walked over with a smile, "How could I forget about you!"

The lion turned to run, but was crushed by a mountain. The mighty king of beasts was rendered immobile by the strength of a human. The human's arm gripped its neck, suffocating it until its eyes bulged out, and it pounded its paws on the floor, begging for mercy.

Redio suddenly asked, "Can you catch mice?"

“It’s a lion…” Nami shook her head.

-----------------

“You’re a lion!” Nami was speechless.

In less than an hour, the lion had wiped out all the rats inside and outside the two ships. Then it got off the ship, squatted down next to Redio's legs, and wagged its tail like a lapdog.

With a wave of Redio's hand, the two large ships in front of them vanished silently one after the other... Nami had lost count of how many times she had been stunned.

Although I knew Redio had some kind of ability, isn't it a bit too exaggerated to make two such large pirate ships disappear out of thin air?

Slot 1: Buggy's Pirate Ship

[Slot 2: Tulip Pirate Ship]

Slot 3: (Empty)

When you combine these three things, the result depends entirely on luck.

However, by combining the two, one can add more or less essence to slot 3 as needed...

While current experience suggests that there's no fundamental difference between 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 items, and the results are still based on probability, there's a mysterious phenomenon with Redio that putting a little essence into an empty slot 3 might improve the quality of the item…

Redio simply threw in 15 essences and started the synthesis.

boom……

Suddenly, a pink pirate ship appeared out of nowhere on the empty sea, stirring up waves that washed over Nami's ankles on the beach.

Judging from the size of this ship, it's somewhere between the Buggy Pirates' ship and the Tulip Pirates' ship we just saw.

"Haha, the colors are really nice," Nami laughed.

Redio was speechless, but there was nothing he could do; he had no control over the outcome of the combination.

He threw the pink ship into the three-in-one system, checked its valuation, and found it to be worth 5 essences.

It's not as good as Buggy's original 7-kilo ship, but it's still a large pirate ship in the same class, so it's not a bad deal.
