Chapter 196: Planning the Devil Fruit (4k)
Big trees rise from the ground to form a huge island, with bubbles rising constantly, emitting a dreamlike light in the sun.
Aoki looked ahead: "Is this the Shampoo Islands?"
The man next to him said: "Yes, Mr. Aoki, the Shampoo Islands are actually made up of a piece of Alkimanthus mangroves, and each tree has a number.
For accommodation, go to Nos. 70 to 79, and for fun, you can go to Nos. 30 to 49. There are soap bubble parks, tourist shops, and specialty shops. Nos. 50 to 59 are where the shipyard and coating craftsmen are located, and Nos. 60 to 69 are the naval garrison.
By the way, numbers 1 to 29 are illegal zones, where there are a lot of pirates, wanted criminals, and human trafficking markets. You must be careful when passing by. "
"Thank you!"
Aoki said.
After leaving Marie Joa, he originally wanted to find a place to stay, get some information, and then make plans.
But he soon discovered that his thinking was too simple.
Navigating the sea is much more difficult than traveling on land.
Without a reference, it's easy to get lost.
Moreover, compared with the normal world, the pirate world is too vast. Most of the area is covered by the ocean and there is very little land.
He flew for a long time, but not only did he not find the island, he also lost his way.
Just when he had a headache, he encountered this ship.
Afterwards, after some inquiring, he sadly discovered that he had not flown very far at all and was still spinning around the Red Earth Continent.
"We will stay in Area 53 for a week. If Mr. Aoki still wants to take a boat, he can come to us at any time!"
The man is very enthusiastic.
Of course, it was not something like being impressed by his charisma, but because Aoki paid him a large sum of money for shipping.
"I understand, see you later."
Aoki said hello to the man and got off the boat alone.
Outside the pier is a tall and straight tree with lush branches and leaves, its exposed roots are like a giant dragon, and the word "53" is printed on the trunk.
As soon as Aoki came to the big tree, a huge soap bubble rose from the ground and floated slowly into the sky.
The roots of the mangrove tree secrete special natural resin due to respiration. The resin expands due to air and forms bubbles.
People use bubbles to make bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, and houses built on bubbles. Bubble culture has penetrated into all aspects of the Shampoo Islands.
However, this kind of bubble can only survive in the climate within the Yalqiman mangrove forest. Once it exceeds the range of the Yalqiman mangrove, it will automatically burst.
Continuing forward, we soon came to a town.
Bubbles of all sizes were flying around, and people were riding cars made of bubbles, making people feel like they were entering a fairy tale world.
Aoki walked leisurely on the street.
He planned to buy a record pointer first.
The magnetic field of the Great Line is chaotic and the climate is harsh, making it difficult for the pointer to move even without a record.
As the end point of the first half of the Great Line and the entrance to the New World, the Chambord Islands will certainly not lack such things as record pointers.
There is another point that is very concerning.
Fishman Island is located on the seabed 10,000 meters below here.
"Shirahoshi must have just been born now, right?" Aoki thought.
Regarding the time, he had already found out clearly when he took the boat.
It is now the year 1506 of the Haiyuan calendar.
This year, Luffy is only three years old.
Roger died less than 10 years ago.
The era of great pirates is in the ascendant.
Edward Newgate rules the world and is unrivaled. The Whitebeard Pirates are at their peak, unrivaled in the limelight.
Charlotte Lingling and Kaido ascend to the throne of Pirate Emperor.
Three pirate emperors dominate the new world.
And Shanks was just coming into his own.
After figuring out the timeline, Aoki's healing potion trading plan went bankrupt.
Although I haven't seen him yet, Whitebeard at this time is definitely not as terminally ill as he will be in the future.
Healing potions cannot be sold at high prices.
He would rather not sell if he couldn't get a high price.
Anyway, it is impossible to throw this kind of thing into your hands.
In a grocery store located in Area 28, Aoki bought what he needed, then found a nearby bar, ordered a bottle of wine, and sat down.
As we all know, bars and pubs are good places to gather intelligence.
However, in fact, the information circulating here is either worthless news that everyone knows, or rumors that are based on rumors and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. There is not much truly valuable information.
Fortunately, Aoki just wants to know more about the basic situation of this time and this world, and does not need any confidential information.
Aoki was thinking about his next plan while listening to the bragging and chatting of the people around him.
There are two important points.
One is the mission, and the other is the devil fruit.
Needless to say tasks, the core idea is to complete more tasks and level up as quickly as possible.
Among them, "the end of world government" is the top priority.
The good news is that there are still 14 years until Luffy goes to sea, so he has plenty of time.
"I need help."
Aoki tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
Different from the previous small fights, what he wants to do this time is to destroy a super organization that has ruled the world for eight hundred years.
The mission requires him to kill Im and Wulaoxing.
Their strength is already very strong, and they also have a large number of helpers such as the Knights of God, CP0, and the Navy.
Even if "Infinite Dragon Beast" reaches the full level, it will be difficult for him to fight against so many people by himself.
A drop of water cannot make an ocean, and a single tree cannot make a forest.
He needs to find someone to help him share some of the pressure.
However, allies are not easy to find.
Although the brutality of the Celestial Dragons has long been known to everyone, few people dare to resist them.
The first names that came to Aoki's mind were the four pirate emperors.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Kaido, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, and Red Hair Shanks.
But after careful consideration, he found that although these four are very strong, they are not suitable allies.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate is known as the strongest man in the world, and the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates is also the best in the world.
However, Whitebeard has no ambitions.
His dream is just to get a "family" and live with his family. Even the Pirate King doesn't care, so how can he pull the entire Whitebeard Pirates and risk the destruction of the group to fight the Celestial Dragons?
Charlotte Linlin and the BIGMOM Pirates are more targeted at the Pirate King, and I'm afraid they are not willing to raise the banner against the Celestial Dragons.
Moreover, Charlotte Linlin is extremely cruel.
If there is a chance, Aoki would rather kill her and get her equipment than cooperate with her.
Shanks is a rookie, and even the Red Hair Pirates have not yet fully formed.
What's more, Shanks may be a Celestial Dragon.
Teacher Kaido has a certain room for cooperation.
Kaido's dream is to launch the world's top war and drag all the nobles and those in power to the battlefield.
However, on the one hand, Kaido is moody and not a good partner. On the other hand, Kaido advocates violence and is self-centered. It is extremely difficult to cooperate with him. At least you have to have the strength to have an equal dialogue with him.
As for Captain John, Wang Zhi, Crocodile and others, I am afraid they all have their own ideas and are not suitable partners.
Dragon and the Revolutionary Army are natural allies.
However, the Revolutionary Army has only been established for 6 years at this time, and its strength is far from enough.
You can contact them, but it is best not to have too high expectations.
In addition, not only do you have to find allies, you also have to have a team.
Fighting alone is at most Hawkeye, and only with a team can one become one of the Four Emperors.
This is also not an easy task.
The second key point is the devil fruit.
One's own strength is the foundation.
Doing tasks is to upgrade, and upgrading is essentially to become stronger.
There are two powerful forces in the pirate world.
Haki and devil fruit.
According to the performance of Kizaru and the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God, the power level of Haki and devil fruit has also reached four stars.
If he can get another four-star profession, then he will have a double four-star profession, and his strength may be able to break through the limits of this world.
Absolute strength can flatten everything, the problem is, how to get absolute power.
Haki is not considered.
According to the rules of the system, the premise of obtaining an extraordinary profession is that you have the corresponding physical foundation.
Haki is the innate power of humans in the pirate world.
But Aoki comes from other worlds and has no such potential at all.
The easiest way to obtain an extraordinary profession is to obtain the corresponding extraordinary power first.
In the last world, he took a lot of effort to get the bloodline of "Infinite Dragon Beast".
However, in the pirate world, it is very simple to do this.
Just eat the devil fruit.
Aoki believes that with his strength, it is not difficult to get a devil fruit.
There are devil fruits auctioned in the Sabaody Archipelago.
However, it is not easy to get a strong enough devil fruit.
Even the same devil fruit has differences.
Just like the difference in power between imperial tools.
If you want to eat, eat the best.
The most powerful in the current version is undoubtedly the animal-type mythical beast devil fruit!
The most famous ones are the blue dragon form of Kaido's fish-fish fruit and the great Buddha form of the human-human fruit of the Navy Marshal Buddha's Warring States.
Aoki carefully recalled the several mythical beast fruits he knew.
Several mythical beasts in Wano Country should have been taken.
It is not known whether the nine-tailed fox form of the dog-dog fruit and the Pegasus form of the horse-horse fruit are taken now, and it is not known where they are.
The replica of the blue dragon form of the fish-fish fruit should not have been born yet, and it is not certain whether it has defects. He is unwilling to eat the replica.
Aoki thought about it and felt that the most likely thing to get was the vampire form of the Bat Fruit.
He remembered that he was in the ancient town of Sleeping, and needed Robin's help to interpret the ruins.
"Robin should still be in the West Sea now, right?"
Aoki thought.
Six years have passed since the O'Hara incident. Robin is now fourteen years old and should not have entered the Grand Line yet.
"Wait, it seems that there is still a temporarily unowned mythical beast species."
Aoki's expression became strange.
Human-Human Fruit, Nika Form.
It once had another name called Rubber Fruit.
Aoki touched his chin. What would happen if he snatched Luffy's fruit?
The Nika Fruit is absolutely powerful.
It has both the characteristics of the animal-type mythical beast species and the superhuman type, and has the ability to make wishes come true.
As for the problem that the Nika Fruit has never awakened in 800 years, he doesn't care.
With the system, as long as he can obtain a kind of power, he can push it to the peak.
However, it is not easy to get the Nika Fruit.
The Nika Fruit has a power similar to destiny. Even with the power of the World Government, they have been searching for it for eight hundred years but have not been able to successfully recover it.
It seems destined to belong to Luffy.
The information he knows is that one day four years later, the Red Hair Pirates snatched the Nika Fruit from a ship of the World Government CP9 Intelligence Agency.
Aoki's thoughts gradually diverged.
In fact, his goal does not have to be only on the Mythical Beasts.
Although the Mythical Beasts are strong in this version, they are not invincible.
Whitebeard relied on the Parahuman Tremor-Tremor Fruit to become the strongest.
The Parahuman Operation Fruit should still be ownerless at present, and its spatial ability is powerful, needless to say.
And the Natural System, although it has been weakened, is still very powerful, especially for him.
He originally had the strong physique of the Mythical Beasts.
The Natural System focuses on the power of nature, which may be more suitable for him.
Of course, the strength of the Natural System varies greatly.
For example, the Smoke Fruit and the Swamp Fruit are both quite useless.
Even dogs won't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit.
But now there is an unowned top-level natural devil fruit - Thunder Fruit.
At this time, Enel may not have obtained the Thunder Fruit yet.
There is also the Dark-Dark Fruit.
It not only restrains the ability users, but also can seize the devil fruit ability, which has strategic significance.
Thinking of this, Aoki had an idea.
"The Dark-Dark Fruit can seize the ability, so can I use the revenge treasure chest to explode the devil fruit?"
Some of the treasure chests opened before came directly from the system, such as special lollipops and wind spirit boots.
But some of them have questionable origins.
Money, suits, daggers, and most importantly, the worn-out women's underwear. He is very suspicious that the prizes in some treasure chests may be things from the killed people.
Killing monsters will drop treasures.
The key is whether the devil fruit is among the treasures that can be dropped.
If this guess comes true, he will have more choices.
In fact, what he likes most is Mr. Kai's blue dragon-shaped fish fruit.
Aoki sorted out various information, and the plan in his mind gradually became clear.
First and foremost, continue to upgrade and enhance your strength.
Strive to upgrade the "Soul of Vengeance" to the maximum level as soon as possible.
Even if a devil fruit can be exploded, the mythical beast species is definitely not something that can be opened from a second-level treasure chest.
Secondly, go to the West Sea to find Robin.
Now that you know the information about the vampire bat fruit, there is no reason not to take it.
Moreover, the ability of the vampire bat fruit is related to blood.
And the root of the ghost is also in blood.
This devil fruit may help him solve the defects of the ghost.
At the same time, you can also pay attention to the information of other devil fruits.
There are many devil fruits in this world that he has not heard of, and some of them may be more suitable for him.
As for finding partners and forming a team, there is no rush.
He already has an idea in his mind.
Overthrowing the world government is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and you must have enough patience.
