Chapter 183: Smoker: Smoke-Smoke Fruit! And Hundreds of Them?

Looking at the five newly appeared Fate Commodities.

Smoker felt as if he were dreaming; could the Game Merchant be softening his stance toward the Navy?

However, now was not the time to ponder such things.

The most important thing was to quickly select suitable Fate Commodities, then help Garp win the prize as soon as possible to obtain the head of the Soul-Snatching Envoy.

"This is..."

Smoker saw two of the Fate Commodities clearly, and his eyes lit up instantly.

【Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects】, 【Poisonous Centipede】.

Two Blue Potential quality poisonous creatures.

These two highly toxic insects, with the mucus secreted by their skin and their fangs, could easily poison to death experts in the martial arts world who possessed Internal Kung Fu.

Ordinary people would view them as formidable enemies and take a detour upon seeing them.

But Smoker's heart pounded, and he stared greedily at the two Fate Commodities.

He possessed some of the fighting techniques and toxicology knowledge of a Fighter and Street Fighter from the Arad Continent, knew the uses of various toxins, and could use them to concoct incomparably powerful poisons.

Moreover,

The 【Poisonous Blood】 within Smoker's body happened to need these toxic ores and insects; after digesting and absorbing the toxins within them, his skills would rapidly level up.

It was comparable to a highly nourishing Experience Capsule.

"The two items add up to three thousand Reward Points, plus the two hundred points for the consumption of the Random Key..."

This wave was a huge profit.

Smoker was excited inside;

If it were the normal process, the skill experience required for his 【Poisonous Blood】 to continue improving would cost far more than three thousand two hundred Reward Points.

He now truly believed that the Game Merchant had suddenly changed his nature.

He was willing to put himself in the players' shoes to think about problems and was willing to consider things for the players.

That's right, I am very willing.

Fang Yi had a smile on his lips, as if he could hear Smoker's inner thoughts.

A Fu, lying on the rocking chair in the Game House, looked on with pity; the way he looked at Smoker was like looking at a poor fish that had bitten the bait.

His own black-hearted master would never consider things for players, even if the world were destroyed!

"Such strong poison!"

After buying the two types of poisonous creatures, Smoker did not delay and directly began absorbing them.

An ordinary Street Fighter would need to cooperate with various instruments to purify the toxins.

But Smoker directly skipped these troublesome steps;

Two purple smoke clouds turned into palms, and after grabbing the Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects and the Poisonous Centipede, the two poisonous creatures gradually shriveled up like water peaches having their essence sucked away.

【Absorbing the toxins of 【Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects】 and 【Poisonous Centipede】, your 【Poisonous Blood】 skill experience has increased...】

Game prompts rang out continuously in his ears.

The purple smoke containing the toxins became increasingly thick, revealing a deep purple color like paint that could not be thinned.

Bang.

Smoker threw away the two shriveled shells and swung his poisonous smoke palm, striking a wandering ghost that had just poked its head out nearby.

Without the slightest hesitation, he slapped the ghost to death as if the scorching sun were melting snow.

"The intensity of the poisonous smoke has increased by nearly two times!"

Smoker sensed the strength of the poisonous blood in his body, his lips couldn't help but curl up, and he said: "Continue, continue!"

The remaining three Fate Items were two pieces of armor and one piece of jewelry.

They were not of much help to him.

He purchased another Random Key to swap out for new Fate Items.

"More poisonous insects?"

Among the new Fate Commodities, one was the 【Poisonous Centipede】 he had just digested. Smoker showed a look of confusion and asked: "Mr. Merchant, what is going on?"

Fang Yi explained with a smile: "These low-level commodities do not possess uniqueness and are very likely to appear repeatedly."

"Just like the Devil Fruit of the Pirate World, which I have classified as Blue and Purple items."

As he spoke,

A burlap sack suddenly appeared at his feet, just like the kind of tattered cloth bag a scavenger would carry on his shoulder.

He reached out and pulled the hemp rope at the mouth of the bag,

Fruit after fruit rolled out; their surfaces had swirling patterns like smoke, looking like exquisite works of art.

The entire sack was filled with such identical fruits; a rough glance showed there could be hundreds of them.

"Devil Fruit... Smoke-Smoke Fruit!?"

The weed Smoker had been chewing on fell to the ground, and his mouth involuntarily hung open in a state of shock.

He absolutely could not be mistaken;

Although many years had passed, these fruits were the Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit that he himself had eaten!

But, how is that possible?

Smoker's shock could not dissipate for a long time;

It was just like needing to eat when hungry, needing to sleep to replenish energy when tired, and the Fish-Man Race needing to stay in the ocean to survive...

Two identical Devil Fruits appearing at the same time was a rule of this ocean.

Yet, someone had now shattered an ironclad law that had lasted for hundreds or thousands of years, casually taking out hundreds of identical Devil Fruits, and rare Logia ones at that.

Is it fake?

Smoker was the first to be suspicious,

then he watched the game merchant bend down to pick up a fruit and casually reach toward the edge of Death Island.

A sea fish, as if pulled by gravity, landed on his palm like a streak of light.

Under Smoker's shocked gaze, that Smoke-Smoke Fruit was stuffed into the mouth of the sea fish.

"Mr. Merchant..."

Smoker's voice came to an abrupt halt,

as that sea fish which had eaten the Smoke-Smoke Fruit turned into a puff of grayish-white mist with a *bang* under his watch.

It demonstrated the power of a Logia fruit.

Fang Yi grabbed the sea fish, tossed it casually outside the range of Death Island, and laughed, "Sometimes, rather than explaining, I prefer to let facts speak."

If it were just Smoker alone, he wouldn't have bothered to explain at all.

However,

Sengoku had just allocated five billion to Smoker, so it was impossible to ignore; countless eyes of Visual Den Den Mushi were looking here.

He was explaining to Marine Headquarters, as well as the audiences in the Si Hai and the Grand Line.

Have I gone mad?

Smoker shook his head, his expression dazed, feeling quite like he was in an unreal dream.

Marine Headquarters,

Sengoku, who had been keeping a close watch on Smoker's exchange, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at this moment.

He dialed the Den Den Mushi and shouted to the stationed Navy outside Death Island who hadn't landed on the island, "Capture that sea fish that ate the Smoke-Smoke Fruit! It is a Smoke-Smoke Fruit user, use Seastone, Seastone!"

A recurring Devil Fruit!

Sengoku's emotions were complex; the gaze he had previously directed at the game merchant was filled with vigilance and wariness, but now there was a hint of fear he hadn't even noticed himself.

He himself was a Devil Fruit user, so he could better perceive the shock of the other party producing hundreds of identical fruits.

That tattered cloth bag filled with Devil Fruits, which the other party was dragging on the ground like miscellaneous items.

It could, in an instant,

create hundreds of Smoke-Smoke Fruit users on this sea.

Logia!

In the Marine Headquarters that ruled the Si Hai, the number of Logia fruit users could be counted on one hand.

Although it is always said that there are no trash fruits, only fruit users who don't know how to train and develop them...

However, compared to Zoan and Paramecia Devil Fruits, Logia Devil Fruits simply have an ultra-high baseline; as long as one eats it, they can elementalize, guaranteeing at least the strength of a Marine Headquarters officer.

You must know, even for the current Marine Headquarters, it would be absolutely impossible to gather hundreds of officer-level experts.

In other words,

as long as the game merchant was willing, he could rely on that bag of Devil Fruits to replace Marine Headquarters and become the new hegemon of this sea.
