Chapter 141 Demonic Creation: The Electric Eel

Luffy's words were mumbled, but at least they were somewhat understandable.

Zoro's eyes widened. "A contract quest that can make your fists stronger?" he asked.

It's more likely that eating a poisonous fruit would damage one's brain.

"Idiot Luffy, I'm the one who rescued you from that cage, so consider this Devil Fruit as payment for saving your life."

Nami picked up the fruit, but it didn't trigger any effect.

It seems that only non-players can trigger the contract fruit, just as I thought, it is a new way for the reincarnation game to recruit players.

If we take it to an auction, it should fetch a high price, right?

This is Nami's idea.

No one in the One Piece world can refuse this Contract Fruit, or rather, the identity of a reincarnation player.

Once people understand what the cycle of reincarnation means, no one—nobles, commoners, pirates, or naval personnel—can resist it.

That's it.

Luffy raised his fist and slammed it towards Zoro.

Zoro quickly raised his scabbard to block the heavy punch infused with fist energy. The expensive scabbard was smashed into pieces by the fist energy, revealing the sharp blade inside.

"You idiot, you better watch out!"

"And...you owe me back my scabbard! It was an expensive scabbard I bought with my pirate bounty!"

The parrying motion aggravated Zoro's newly bandaged wound, causing him to grimace in pain.

It's not just about worrying about yourself,

I'm also worried about that stupid captain's fist.

Inside the scabbard lies the famous sword passed down to him by his master, Koushirou—the Great Grade Sword, Wado Ichimonji, which could easily sever Luffy's entire arm if one wasn't careful.

However, when Zoro looked up, he was immediately stunned.

"What is this...?"

The fist, enveloped in the force of the punch, actually withstood the sharp blade; it wasn't even scratched, let alone cut off.

Luffy scratched his head and said, "It's an ability that suddenly appeared in my head, a contract mission..."

Zoro remained silent.

He was absolutely certain that the idiot captain didn't have this ability when he fought against Marine Morgan.

Although the injuries weren't too serious, he was grazed by the axe.

Even though he was passively parrying, the broken axe was no match for his knife in terms of sharpness.

So, it's true?

Although it feels magical, this ocean is never short of miracles.

Zoro picked up the broken pieces of the scabbard with a pained expression.

His pursuit is the way of the sword, to become the world's greatest swordsman. Although this magical fruit contract is powerful, he is not interested in it.

Nami's eyes darted around as she asked, "Moss Head, how about I sell you this Devil Fruit contract?"

She thought it over and over.

Auction houses are often backed by powerful noble families or controlled by notorious pirates. Auctioning ordinary gold and silver jewelry is one thing, but auction houses are another.

If I were to take out the Contract Fruit, it would likely trigger the passive abilities of these filthy guys, leading them to kill and rob me.

There are buyers right in front of us, why bother looking for something far away?

"don't want."

Zoro refused decisively and rummaged through his belongings looking for something that could temporarily repair the scabbard.

Nami gave a seductive smile and said, "The Contract Fruit isn't just about skills suitable for idiot Luffy; it also grants swordsmanship abilities and countless famous swords."

Behind the screen,

Fang Yi's expression was strange. He hadn't expected that Nami would actually help him attract business in order to make money. She really was a little thief who didn't let go of any business opportunity.

"Swordsman's ability, a famous sword?"

Zoro suddenly turned his head, even stopping the movement of his hands.

On his face, which wasn't much smarter than Straw Hat Luffy, I couldn't hide my great interest.

If he knew Nami's personality even slightly, he would know that he absolutely must not reveal his neediness.

"That's right."

Nami handed over the fruit, gesturing for Zoro to take it.

With a puzzled look, Zoro casually picked up the Contract Fruit, and two seconds later, information about the Rinne Game appeared in his mind.

Normally,

He definitely shared Bucky's opinion; he wouldn't believe it at all and would just think it was a prank.

However, the skill rewards that the foolish captain received after completing the contract mission have confirmed the authenticity of the contract fruit.

This put Zoro in a state of doubt.

Seeing the bewildered green hair, Nami added fuel to the fire, saying, "I'm a player of the Samsara Game, and I can guarantee that the Contract Fruit is absolutely real."

After all,

A small creature, radiating a silvery-white glow, with horns and tiny wings on its back, resembling a small electric snake, appeared.

It wrapped itself around Nami's arm and nuzzled her face affectionately.

【Magic Creation: Electric Eel】

It is an alchemy and magic fusion product created by Nami after she changed her job to a magic scholar, based on alchemy blueprints she obtained, and by spending a huge amount of reward points.

Possessing extremely strong light attribute attack power is the core ability of the magic scholar. Many powerful skills will rely on magic creations to be released.

This is the power from the cycle of reincarnation.

Zoro, seeing the stark contrast between the captain's abilities and his own, became even more convinced, but he said helplessly, "I have no money."

Although being a pirate hunter sounds glamorous...

But the money you can actually earn isn't much; a little maintenance of your famous sword and some good wine and it's all gone.

Nami grinned slyly, her gaze fixed on the famous sword, and said, "How about we use that sword to settle the debt?"

He roamed the East China Sea for several years, starting his career as a thief.

I have absolute confidence in judging the value of this item; the knife at the other party's waist is definitely priceless.

"impossible."

Zoro's expression immediately turned cold, and he refused, "No one is allowed to touch this sword."

This knife is not just a weapon, but also a promise that must be kept.

"Then there's no other way. It seems I'll have to sell this Contract Fruit at an auction house."

As Nami spoke, her gaze fell on Luffy, the Straw Hat, and she said, "However, if you can help me defeat Buggy the Clown and let me take the treasure, this Contract Fruit can also be used as a reward."

"OK."

Luffy readily agreed.

Zoro, standing nearby, was immediately stunned. He bared his teeth and brandished his claws, saying, "Idiot, can't you tell this woman is using us as pawns? She agreed to defeat Buggy so easily, and Buggy is also a Devil Fruit user. I'm injured right now, and if you fight her alone..."

Luffy picked his nose and said very naturally, "Because I could tell that you really want that Devil Fruit, Zoro."

Isn't it the captain's duty to fight for what the crew likes?

This attitude, as if it were about eating and drinking, implied that tasks absolutely had to be done.

Not only Zoro, but even Nami was stunned.

Nami placed the Contract Fruit on the table, her expression complicated, and said, "Straw Hat idiot, you really don't seem like a pirate."

"Of course!"

Luffy grinned broadly, as if stating a foregone conclusion, and declared, "I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

The sound was very loud.

Zoro slammed a punch into his head, yelling, "Idiot, the Buggy Pirates will find us!"

However, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
