Starting from Pirates, Myriad Worlds Simulation
Chapter 599: Staring Fruit’s Invisible Heart
The pirates on the sea are roughly divided into three batches. The pirates who can make it in the New World...that is, the second half of the Grand Line are generally already elite among pirates.
Pirates who can be active in the new world usually start with a bounty of at least tens of millions of beli.
A few of the more elite pirates have even mastered Haki, and users with so-called Devil Fruit abilities are not too rare here.
As for those who are active in the first half of the Grand Line, they belong to the middle level among pirates. Generally, pirates who can enter the Grand Line are basically out of the standard for newcomers.
A pirate worth tens of millions of beli is considered a big shot here, and a pirate worth hundreds of millions is definitely enough to dominate here.
As for the pirates who have not yet entered the Grand Line, that is, the pirates who are still operating in the four seas, these pirates are basically just fledgling fish in the eyes of the first two.
Devil fruit users are already considered rare talents in the world. As long as the bounty exceeds 10 million, they are considered big shots here.
Although the pirates in the South China Sea have the highest overall level among the four seas, that's all.
After it was confirmed that Asuka Island was indeed related to big figures like the New World and Ancient Weapon Wood, more and more people chose to move here.
After all, living on the sea now, what people on the islands are most worried about is the rampant pirates who are burning, killing and looting everywhere.
Asuka Island is protected by such a super boss. Not to mention the new pirates from the South China Sea, even the big shots from the New World would not dare to mess around on the island.
As more and more people immigrated here, there were more labor and consumer groups on the island, and the commercial scale and other aspects of the island naturally began to gradually develop.
Wood Arms Company has a power and status comparable to that of the Four Emperors, but it only protects three islands. This also shows that the value of the protected places is different.
It's like playing hawk to catch chicks. A hen has to protect a hundred chicks, and it has to protect three chicks. Can this level of protection be the same concept?
This time, King Liku asked his daughter Violet to go to the Dark Island with Cyrus instead of coming in person. There was another purpose in it.
Violet's glaring fruit ability allows her to see through other people's hearts. She is definitely the best candidate for negotiation, because she can see through other people's hearts at any time and know what their bottom line and needs are.
On the one hand, King Liku wanted to use Violet's ability to get the most favorable price in the transaction by asking Violet to come over to discuss cooperation.
On the other hand, he also wanted Violet to see whether this ancient weapon, Wood, was a trustworthy existence.
Of course, there was something King Riku didn't say clearly, but Violet also saw clearly what his father was thinking.
Because of what happened to Dressrosa before, she, the princess, is still unmarried.
King Liku knew that Wood was similar in age to Violet, and that Violet was impeccable in appearance and figure, so he wanted to try to facilitate this matter.
Wood is the uncrowned Four Emperors, but as the princess of Dressrosa, Violet's status is not much worse than that of his counterpart.
And if Wood really gets together with Violet, then in Dressrosa, do they need to be afraid of something like Doflamingo happening in the future?
Of course, because Wood's character and personality are unknown, King Liku did not want to push his daughter into the pit of fire.
That's why Violet was asked to come here by herself this time, using the ability of glare fruit to see what kind of person Wood is.
Princess Violet, and Captain Cyrus, thank you very much for your trust in our Wood Weapon Fruit, and for coming all the way to discuss cooperation with us in person.
I wonder how many Berry orders you two are planning to give to Dressrosa this time?
Our weapons are definitely of high quality and low price. Considering that you have taken good care of them in Dressrosa before, I can give you a 20% discount this time.
Originally, Wood did not need to appear in person to receive Violet and Cyrus.
There are so many kingdoms doing business with Wood Arms Company, let alone a princess, even the king of a country may not be useful in front of Wood.
The reason why Wood came forward to receive him now was because of Qing Zhi's sake, so he reluctantly agreed.
Qingji thought that Wood didn't know Violet, so he helped to smoothen the relationship in various ways, so that Violet could use his ability to see through Wood's heart.
However, he did not know that this was indeed the first time for Wood to meet Violet, the Princess of Dressrosa, but this did not mean that he had not known her before.
“In addition to wanting to come here to discuss the purchase of weapons with your company during this visit, I also came here specifically to thank Mr. Wood for his help to Dressrosa.
Most people in the ocean now probably believe that Doflamingo and Don Quixote will fall because of the Straw Hats and Trafalgar Law.
It is undeniable that Luffy and Mr. Law did a lot to overthrow Doflamingo, but as far as I know, Mr. Wood was behind all of this secretly, right?
Mr. Wood has been working with the Straw Hats since Punk Hassard, until they finally turned against each other...
Violet did not finish her sentence completely because she felt that everyone present was a smart person and they would understand everything they were saying.
However, Wood felt confused about Violet's specious smile and words.
Good guy, it's not just Doflamingo who has feelings. Now many people think that all this is the result of his secret planning?
Did he do anything during the Dressrosa incident? No, he just took two smooth sailings, so he was thought to be a big conspirator?
But even if Wood defends himself now, will anyone believe what he says?
No, Doflamingo had just offended him and fell down not long after, and he fell into the hands of two supernovas.
It is undeniable that Straw Hat Luffy and Trafalgar Law are quite famous newcomers, but Doflamingo's popularity is not comparable to that of a fat guy like Moonlight Moria.
Regardless of strength, connections or status, Moonlight Moria is not worthy of carrying Doflamingo's shoes.
But such a character actually fell into the hands of two rookie pirate groups, and the shadow of Wood was revealed everywhere in the incident. In addition, Doflamingo had just offended Wood not long ago. If you want to say that all this is It's a coincidence, who can believe it?
Even the dead Doflamingo firmly believed that Wood was behind all of this, let alone others.
Because he knew that explanations were useless, Wood didn't bother to explain. Anyway, Doflamingo had died, and it was not a loss for him to get Dressrosa's favor now.
As for Cyrus next to Violet, the look he was looking at Wood at this moment revealed a hint of disgust.
Because he is friends with the Straw Hats, and in Wood's conspiracy this time, the Straw Hats are just pawns used by him to play with Doflamingo.
If you dare to spread your malice, I will remove your other leg.
Or turn you into a soldier toy, Doflamingo's cadre Sugar, is also on our island now.
Wood showed no concern for the hostility exuded by Cyrus, but Robin and Monet, who were standing behind Wood, were quite unhappy.
Among them, Monet looked at the captain of the guard who was missing a leg and threatened him directly.
Calm down, the other party is here to discuss business, you will scare them.
Wood didn't care about Cyrus's hostility. He was now quite a capable person and would not be like a bastard.
But the other party's attitude made Wood feel very unhappy, so he decided to withdraw the 20% discount he had mentioned before.
Looking at Wood in front of her, Violet tried to understand Wood's character and personality through conversation, but she soon discovered that Wood looked cynical and even a little immoral on the outside, but these were just his disguises.
During the conversation, Violet not only tried to find out something from Wood through her excellent speaking skills, but unfortunately she found nothing.
You must know that in the Don Quixote family, Violet used the alias Violet, and she was engaged in negotiation work.
Coupled with the ability of Staring Fruit, she has seen all kinds of people. Even without using the ability, she can see through the humanity of most people.
But Violet, who has met countless people, when facing Wood, found that he was like an old man, completely incomprehensible. She had also encountered this situation with Doflamingo before.
Just kidding, Violet may actually have rich experience due to her work and fruit abilities.
But is Wood an average person? After accumulating multiple worlds in The Sims, he lived to be at least a hundred years old.
Moreover, in the lives he simulated, there were many worlds of intrigue. To a player of his level, Violet was just a girl in her thirties.
Because she can't see through Wood's character, Violet can only prepare to take risks and use the Glare Fruit ability.
The mind-reading skill of glaring at the fruit requires specific actions to be activated, and making such an action during a discussion will obviously arouse the other party's suspicion.
And once the other party knows that they are spying on his heart, the ancient weapons may become furious and anger such a big shot. Not to mention whether they can leave the Dark Island alive, they are more likely to bring disaster to Dressrosa. A devastating disaster.
However, thinking of Dressrosa's current situation and the previous deal with Aokiji, Violet finally gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk!
Boss, actually, there is something about what happened in Dressrosa. I still have some things...
Aokiji knows the limitations of Violet's fruit ability, and now understands the reason why Violet has not used the ability, so he deliberately bent down to block everyone's sight for Violet.
When she realized Aokiji's intention, Violet's eyes lit up, and she quickly made an O shape with her fingers, and pointed them at Wood in front of her eyes.
However, Violet, who had activated the Staring Fruit ability, was shocked again, because unlike the previous situation, when she looked into Wood's heart, she actually saw a white patch.
Not to mention seeing Wood's inner thoughts and secrets, he couldn't even see any information at all!
How about it? Princess Violet, did your fruit power allow you to see what you wanted to know?
Violet, who was quite surprised at first, suddenly shivered when she heard what Wood said at this moment, and her back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
Even Aokiji, who had been covering for Violet, looked at Wood in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
Violet can be sure that this is the first time she has met Wood, and not many people know about her ability to glare fruits.
Because Doflamingo has been using her to pry into his opponents' inner thoughts and secrets, naturally the fewer people who know about his abilities, the better.
Although the Don Quixote family and the Wood Arms Company have always been mortal enemies and competitors, a big shot like Wood probably doesn't know enough about the Don Quixote family to know a little guy like himself.
You look surprised? Are you surprised that I know your fruit ability?
Still surprised that your ability cannot see through my heart? Or maybe it’s both?
As for your Devil Fruit's ability, Doflamingo may have done a good job keeping it secret, but don't forget that Monet specializes in intelligence work.
After infiltrating the Don Quixote family for so many years, I have basically mastered the information about you cadres.
And you probably don’t know that as a top swordsman, he often practices not only swordsmanship and strength, but also includes improving his mental state.
Only swordsmen who have reached a certain level in mind, body, and skills can be called great swordsmen. For great swordsmen, it is not impossible to close their five senses and even their hearts.
This is also the reason why your staring fruit cannot see through my heart.
After hearing Wood's explanation, Violet was also stunned because she never expected that such a situation would happen.
However, Qing Pheasant on the side did not choose to completely believe what Wood said.
Although there are not many great swordsmen on the sea, it's not like Qingzhi has never encountered them before. Why doesn't he know that great swordsmen possess such power?
Obviously, if Wood is not bragging blindly, it is Wood's big swordsman who is fundamentally different from other big swordsmen on the sea.
If any swordsman could close his heart and five senses, swordsman would have become the most popular profession in the entire sea.
What Aokiji is worried about now is that Violet cannot see through Wood's heart and has even exposed it in advance. He should lie about his previous behavior.
