Pirate: It's reasonable for me to simulate a Super Saiyan, right?

As long as he has a chance to eat a bite, he doesn't care if he is besieged afterwards.

With that in mind, Yang Hao gave it another try.

[You participated in the Bowen Town black market auction. When the Devil Fruit appeared, you immediately grabbed your flintlock pistol and rushed forward, intending to forcibly seize it.]

[Then, with a bang, the hidden gunman shot you.]

You lay in a pool of blood and were cleared away.

【you are dead. 】

Yang Hao's face darkened.

Well, he was oversimplifying things.

The black market's defenses are quite formidable.

Even if there are loopholes, they are not so easy to exploit.

It seems we'll have to try other methods.

However, Yang Hao did not continue to try.

This is because the value of his Pele has once again fallen below 100,000.

This small amount of money is clearly not enough to support him to continue the simulation.

Yang Hao knew that with his current abilities, it wasn't impossible for him to obtain a Devil Fruit.

But it's definitely not something that can be solved with just a few simulations.

You must thoroughly understand all the circumstances, inside and out, in order to combine countless clues and find that one and only opportunity!

Having realized this, Yang Hao stopped exploring and instead focused on making money!

It is worth mentioning that.

Despite all the simulations, only two days actually passed before Yang Hao earned over three million Berries.

If Yang Hao were to win money at the casino now, he would definitely attract attention.

But now, Yang Hao can't care about that anymore.

If we miss out on the Monkey-Monkey Fruit this time, who knows when we'll encounter a Devil Fruit again?

This is a chance to take off, and Yang Hao will never give it up.

It's a bit risky, so be it.

Of course, the remaining money can be used to conduct a simulation, which should also help mitigate the risks.

With this in mind, Yang Hao no longer hesitated and headed towards the town's casino.

……

Two days later.

Yang Hao looked at the three million Berries in front of him and let out a long breath.

This time, he won three million Berries from the four casinos in Bowen.

Just as Yang Hao had thought.

Winning so much again really caught the attention of the casino.

Fortunately, this attention was only slight and did not lead the casino to send people to harm him.

But who knows what will happen next time?

As for the nearby town of Boya, there should also be casinos there, but as far as Yang Hao knows, both towns belong to the territory of the same gang.

If he gains attention in Bowen Town, he'll likely be recognized immediately if he causes trouble in Boya Town.

Therefore, before Yang Hao's strength increased, the path to winning money at the casino was completely cut off.

In other words, if these three million Berries are not enough for Yang Hao to obtain a Devil Fruit, then his development will be severely hampered!

Shaking his head, Yang Hao cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts.

Thinking about these things now is useless. What we need to do right now is to plot the Devil Fruit.

If we still fail after spending three million Berries, then it's not too late to consider it again.

With that in mind, Yang Hao started the simulation again.

This time, his goal is to find a way to get closer to Devil Fruits!

[You attended the Bowen Town black market auction. This time, you didn't participate in the bidding for the Devil Fruits; you simply watched the entire event, memorizing every detail and silently pondering.]

After reading this, you had an idea: if you joined a black market organization, wouldn't you be able to access Devil Fruits?

With this idea in mind, you quickly went to find that wicked woman, Tuya, again, and obtained some more information from her.

It turns out that the black market in Bowen Town, and even the entire black market in the West Sea, are all joint businesses owned by the five major criminal gangs!

[You are completely unfamiliar with these five great families. The only information you know is that Capone Bege, one of the Supernovas and the user of the Castle-Castle Fruit, comes from one of the five great families of the West Blue.]

Having learned of the black market's power, you suddenly wondered if you could join one of the five major families and work for them.

This seems like a feasible solution.

[Simulation ended.]

Yang Hao looked at the result and a thought struck him.

It seems that robbery is not an option at the moment, so perhaps he can take a roundabout approach, join one of the five major families, and thus enter the black market to gain access to Devil Fruits?

Of course, Yang Hao also understood that the black market was a place with huge profits, and it was unlikely that ordinary small fry could get in.

However, this is a direction worth trying.

Yang Hao immediately changed his simulation objective to joining one of the five major gang families and trying to gain access to the Bowen Town black market!

once……

twice……

three times……

After three simulations, Yang Hao frowned.

In fact, his idea is feasible.

The five major criminal families of the West Sea may sound prestigious, but joining them is not difficult.

As long as he is healthy and a strong, middle-aged man, he is welcome to be with her.

But just as Yang Hao had predicted, joining was easy, but getting involved in the black market was difficult.

Every single one of these positions is a lucrative one; without connections and connections, it's impossible to get in.

Of course, if you take your time and work it out, you should have a good chance of success.

But the problem is that Yang Hao lacks time.

For him, time is money. He doesn't have that much time to gradually build up his career in the gang and enter the black market!

Most importantly, the auction is in three days.

In other words, even if Yang Hao had enough money to spend enough time in the simulation system, he still wouldn't be able to catch up with the time when the Devil Fruit was auctioned off.

However you look at it, this is a direction we're heading in.

Yang Hao continued to try a few more times.

But the result was either rejection or being seen as too eager, arousing suspicion and ultimately being shut down—without exception!

After failing to infiltrate the black market, Yang Hao was forced back to square one.

He attended the auction again, trying to find a new way.

Don't say it yet.

After watching the entire auction once again, Yang Hao actually had some new ideas.

His gaze was no longer fixed on the black market forces, but on the person who had bought the Devil Fruit!

That's right!

Yang Hao suddenly realized that if he couldn't target the black market forces, he might be able to work on the auctioneer!

Chapter 8 The Hughes Pirates

008 Hughes Pirates

You participated in the auction, and this time, your focus was on the person who won the bid for the Devil Fruit.

To be more precise, this is a group of people.

These people are somewhat unusual. Their clothing is different from the locals, appearing rather rough. You suspect they might be a group of pirates.

Even without your interference, these pirates still spent 150 million to buy the Devil Fruit.

[After the auction ended, the group of pirates followed the black market operators to the backstage area.]

A thought struck you, and you left the black market, waiting outside.

You then realize that there are actually quite a few people waiting, and after a little thought, you understand.

Those people who spend money on the black market are protected while still inside, but once they leave, their fate is sealed. Therefore, many people attempt to rob them on their way out.

[You're one of them too. If we could get our hands on a Devil Fruit like this, that would be perfect.]

[Of course, there's still one problem: will the Devil Fruit be eaten immediately after the transfer? If so, that would be troublesome. Thinking about this, you felt a bit more anxious.]

[As expected, robberies started, and many people were robbed, including the group that won the auction for the Devil Fruit. It seems many people share your idea and want to steal the Devil Fruit!]

[Bang! Bang! Bang!] Loud gunshots rang out, turning a secluded street into a bloodbath. You didn't act immediately, but instead planned to wait for an opportunity to strike!

[Soon, what made your face darken was that the group was very skilled; just five people took down more than a dozen. Not only were there gunmen, but some even wielded swords with impressive skill.]

The robbers were quickly taken down. You stood there, not lifting a finger, because you realized it would be pointless; you were no match for them.

[But to your relief, those people didn't use the Devil Fruit's power, which suggests that the Devil Fruit likely wasn't eaten.]

After thinking for a while, you followed them. Since the Devil Fruit hadn't been eaten, it was essential for you to first find out where these people came from.
