Traveler in the Pirate World

After the initial contract was signed, several people left Stokes' house. The noisy crowd outside the door did not dare to approach Lily and the others. These people were big shots to them, big shots they could not afford to offend.

They gathered around Darkel and asked what happened. When they heard that Chris Stokes was a noble of Rainland, they were a little stunned. Rainland was the richest and most luxurious city in Alabasta. Its status in Alabasta was second only to the capital city of Alupana.

In comparison, they were not so shocked by the other party's joining of the seawater conversion base. After all, in the eyes of many people, the Avisus Group was not a well-known entity, even for Waka.

What really makes them crazy is that the seawater conversion base will have the ability and technology to bring water to Baishi Town. As for the academy? What is that? People in this world don't pay attention to learning, but literacy is strangely popular. Almost every household will provide the most basic education for their children, but it is limited to literacy and language.

"Previously, due to lack of manpower, we had to let the nobles distribute the donated water. We have probably already guessed the current situation, but it will be improved soon." Merojan said to Stokes who was seeing him off.

“It takes time to develop water resources. During this period, you can use the Seawater Conversion Base Badge to go to the Rapeseed Flower Seawater Conversion Base to extract a certain amount of water. You can sell it to each household in limited quantities in the same way as before, but the price must be our standard price.

This money will be recovered by the seawater conversion base as a reward for hiring you to escort the water transportation.

However, due to some unexpected events, the time for water source development will be postponed, but preparations are still in progress, and the headquarters is mass-producing new equipment, which will be launched soon after the World Government's blockade of Alabasta ends."

"Blockade?" Mellojan's words stunned everyone who heard her, including Tina and Lily, the two culprits.

"Ah, didn't you know?" Mellojan said in surprise, "It seems that the news birds carrying this news were indeed stopped by the World Government. This incident caused quite a stir."

Then she said something that shocked everyone and stunned Tina and Lily. She told them about the strange phenomenon that happened outside Rapeseed City that day, the live news broadcast of Morgans, and the world that went crazy because of it.

……

Rapeseed flowers in the desert outside the city

A large number of White World Government CP members gathered here. This is the largest unified action of the CIPHERPOL organization in hundreds of years.

In addition to the four CP0 sequence members, there are also a large number of CP1-9 members, as well as countless members outside the sequence.

Rob Lucci, known as the strongest genius of the World Government's CP9 in the past years, and his team members are also among them. Their original mission was to lurk in search of the ancient weapon Pluto blueprints that might be hidden in the Water City, but now they have completely given up their previous efforts and come to the Kingdom of Alabasta to find the king's old city.

Lucci and the others had no idea what the so-called King’s Old City actually meant, which was actually more important than Pluto who could sink an island with one strike.

In fact, the blueprints of Pluto are not as important to the World Government as Rob Lucci and others imagine. Having the design drawings of Pluto does not mean that you can control Pluto. That kind of thing cannot be built simply by relying on a blueprint.

The significance of recovering the Pluto blueprint is that the blueprint will not be left outside for a long time, rather than obtaining and forging Pluto. In fact, even if this thing is destroyed, the Five Elders will only feel a pity.

But the King's Old City is different. For the real high-level officials of the World Government who know the truth of history, its status is even close to or equal to that of Raftel, whom they have always wanted to find. He has the power to change the world.

Spandam, with long purple hair and a leather mask covering his face, stood in the barren desert and spat fiercely, "What? For such a thing, we have to come to this hellhole..."

He stopped talking as he saw a huge shadow in the sky blocking out the scorching sun and passing through the clouds. The power of its wings flapped, causing the white clouds to rise and fall, forming a huge hole.

It was an eagle, a huge snow-white eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters. The sand it stirred up made it difficult for the people on the ground to open their eyes. Their clothes fluttered in the wind, rustling. The yellow sand seemed to have created waves on the sea of ​​sand.

Just before the huge snow eagle landed, the white feathers turned into clothes, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a tall and slender man who landed gently on the ground, his long silver hair fluttering in the wind, and the extra white feathers on the CP uniform trembling slightly.

CP0 Animal Sequence Eagle, Animal System. Bird-Bird Fruit. Ordinary species. Holder of the Snow Eagle form, a monster with an awakened devil fruit.

Compared to the world's use of devil fruits, the world government, which controls most of the remaining history and information from the past, has systematic cultivation technology that is far beyond this era.

People always think that the stronger the devil fruit, the stronger the eater, but they always overlook one point: using the devil fruit comes at a price, and the price here is not as simple as becoming a landlubber.

The use of normal devil fruit abilities will only consume a person's physical energy, which is an additional expenditure beyond normal mobility.

More special devil fruits will have other side effects. For example, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the power of which will bring a great burden to the holder himself, especially now that Whitebeard is getting older.

In fact, part of the reason why Whitebeard's three-color domineering could not go further was because of the burden of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The rule and concept abilities in the parahuman devil fruits, which can be called bugs, have even more terrifying side effects. They either require specific postures to exert their power, and the development of the fruits can only expand horizontally with no room for growth, or they consume exponentially more physical energy, or even worse, permanently deprive the holder of their growth potential or life.

Theoretically, all superhumans have the possibility of developing abilities at the rules and concept levels, because they are beyond common sense, but once you reach that level, it means that you no longer have the possibility of progress.

Of course, this is not a problem with the fruit, but with the holder himself. The holder is unable to bear this level of power, which leads to the consequences.

The natural fruit is considered a relatively perfect fruit. It does not have obvious side effects, but it can give the holder the ability to elementalize. The physical energy consumption is not that great, but it is too rare and difficult to develop.

The Animal Type has the lowest cost among all Devil Fruits. Except for some special Animal Types, most Animal Types will enhance a person's basic physical strength and recovery ability. This feature allows many little ones to receive more intensive training from an early age.

The ordinary animal system is the easiest power to develop to the awakening level among all the Devil Fruits. When the person himself reaches the upper limit of the Devil Fruit, the strength of the person himself will feed back into the Devil Fruit.

The eagle's own strength has prompted the Snow Eagle's transformation, allowing it to have a size that was previously impossible to achieve. This increase will be fed back to the user, allowing it to have recovery and physical strength far beyond that of ordinary humans, as well as some special characteristics that the animal itself possesses, such as the eagle's terrifying eyesight.

Developing a Devil Fruit not only requires the holder to have sufficient physical strength, but also has another characteristic that limits the holder's consumption and development difficulty of using the Devil Fruit.

That is the compatibility between the ability user and the devil fruit, especially for special devil fruits with a certain degree of self-awareness.

Luffy and the Nika Fruit are a highly compatible combination. In a sense, it can be said that the Nika Fruit chose Luffy.

In this world, the powerful one is never the devil fruit, but the holder of the devil fruit itself.

The three admirals of the navy are not powerful because they are natural type, but because they are strong enough in themselves, so they can exert the powerful force of the natural type.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit controlled by Whitebeard has the power to destroy the world, but it is not the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that has the power to destroy the world. If it were someone whose physical level cannot reach this level, the side effects of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit would leave him with no hope of improvement.

A person whose basic strength is too weak and who possesses a devil fruit with too high a lower limit is like a child holding a hammer that is beyond his own strength. Even if he pays a certain price and gains the ability to wield the hammer, it does not mean that he controls the hammer.

Rob Lucci looked at the figure from afar. Even without fighting, he could tell that the other party had the strength to crush him. The pigeon Hadley, who was wearing the same uniform on his shoulder, was also staring at that place without blinking.

There is also a being at the top of the CP sequence, wearing a half-black and half-white CP uniform with the edges outlined by thin black and white lines, and wearing a mask of the same black and white contrast, dotted with star patterns.

He/she is tall and straight, with a head of black and white hair that is equally symmetrical, with the black hair being long and the white hair being short. His/her exposed chest has the well-shaped muscles of a man, but his/her slender fingers have the tenderness of a woman. His/her skin is fair and delicate, but he/she has the straight posture of a man, which looks very strange.

He or she? It was Gemini, one of the twelve nameless sequences that stood at the true pinnacle of CP0. A strange voice came out of his mouth, "What's going on?" It was like a man and a woman talking at the same time, like two completely overlapping voices.

"Nothing was found. It seems to be a projection of a mirage. Now it's time to disperse everyone. There is no point in blocking this place!" Eagle said calmly.

"Let's do it, Scorpio has already gone to Aruba. I hope he can bring us some good news!" Gemini turned and left. He didn't need to do such a small matter as arranging people personally.
