Chapter 215: I Like a Destiny That Cannot Be Controlled

"I had anticipated this long ago."

Generally speaking, those who have stood at the peak for years will experience a moment of daze and unwillingness when they hear they have been surpassed.

Yet Whitebeard did not even hesitate; he nodded readily in admission and said, "I have seen the duel between the Navy and the Revolutionary Army Leader, and I just sensed Garp's condition; indeed, even in my prime, I would be slightly inferior."

Even if his injuries were healed and he could exert his full strength, he would have no absolute certainty of taking down these people.

For instance, Marine Hero Garp, although slightly weaker than him in his prime, was a powerhouse in the same tier, with no massive gap between them.

Now that he has been strengthened by the Samsara Game, it is only natural that he surpasses him.

"So, what kind of power do you want?"

After Fang Yi finished speaking, he looked at his body, which appeared strong on the surface but was actually tormented by illness, and added, "However, I suggest you heal your injuries first."

If one were to fully digitize Whitebeard's body, a negative status would appear.

【Shangbing Zhemou】: Reduces HP by 5 points per second, reduces four-dimensional attributes by 20%...

If he cannot heal it, no matter how powerful an ability he exchanges for, he will be restricted.

"That is exactly what I intended."

Whitebeard nodded.

He did not care about the empty title of "strongest," and exchanging for abilities was secondary; his main goal in coming to the Game House was to heal his injuries.

"The genetic healing potion from a technological world can completely eradicate injuries at the genetic level."

Fang Yi reached out.

A bottle of pale gold potion on the second shelf of the display rack floated onto the counter.

He said, "The bottle you exchanged for with the gold vein earlier counts as an inferior version of this one; you have already felt the effect yourself, and the healing effect of this bottle is ten times that of the other."

This potion is produced by a technological world that has already broken through the Taiyangxi and is exploring the entire Yinhexi.

Even if placed locally, a potion of this level requires the consumption of special materials from various planets and is equally expensive.

Price: 4,000 Reward Points.

"Not expensive."

Whitebeard's eyes opened slightly; he had not expected it to be cheaper than he had anticipated.

After all, for an exclusive product from another world like this, most merchants would hike the price when selling to the former strongest man of the Pirate World.

Things are valued for their rarity, let alone a one-of-a-kind life-saving medicine.

"In the Samsara Game, all products have a fixed price."

Fang Yi explained with a smile, "Conditions that are extremely difficult in the Pirate World might be as common as roadside weeds in another world."

"The Devil Fruit of the Pirate World might be a rare treasure that another world could never obtain."

The world rules are different, so the items born are also different.

Just like a transmigrator who wants to study technology in a world of Magic; the most basic physical conditions are different, and those technological items that apply Earth rules simply cannot be created.

Even if one happens to encounter another world with similar rules, if a transmigrator dares to build an intercontinental missile in a Wuxia world, the World Consciousness will erase them.

"In that case, one could make a fortune."

Even though Whitebeard did not care about assets, he could not help but feel tempted after hearing this.

Just imagine, possessing products that an entire world covets but has no channel to obtain; relying solely on this disparity, all power and treasure would be within reach.

There would be no need to sell products with Absolute Fairness like this game merchant.

Just one item,

as long as it is sold to the right buyer, one could even swallow the wealth of an entire world.

Fang Yi seemed to be able to see through his heart and laughed, "Using some meager abilities to travel between two worlds to resell goods is an action taken by those weakest space-time merchants who crave assets."

The weakest?

Even the strongest in the Pirate World and the various Weirdness of the Devil Fruit could not touch the existence of other worlds.

But it seems that in the eyes of the game merchant, those who can travel through time and space are merely weaklings craving wealth.

Whitebeard asked in return, "In that case, what is Mr. Fang Yi's purpose?"

He has only appeared in the Pirate World for a short time, not even half a year, yet he has already caused such a huge sensation.

The World Government that dominates the Si Hai is crumbling,

countless players have transformed from weaklings into powerhouses capable of contending with the great Pirates of the past, roaming wantonly.

Nobles and kingdoms that were once like lambs for the slaughter have become Sturdy fortresses, intending to overthrow the World Government.

All of this,

is the masterpiece of the gentle-looking man before him.

"My purpose?"

Fang Yi's tone was as indifferent as if he had answered this question countless times.

He feigned thought and said, "What should it be? Dominating the world? Toying with the world wantonly, or perhaps tasting the pleasure of being feared by countless people?"

Every few words he uttered,

made Whitebeard feel the pressure increase sharply.

If the other party really wanted to do that, the entire Pirate World combined would likely be unable to stop him.

"Those things lost their novelty to me long ago."

In the end, Fang Yi just shook his head with some weariness.

"Lost their novelty?"

That is truly an unexpected answer.

Whitebeard thought to himself,

which means that this seemingly kind game merchant has truly done things like treating an entire world as a toy.

Fang Yi summarized, "So, creating unexpected surprises should be considered my goal, right?"

"Surprises?"

Whitebeard pondered this sentence repeatedly.

"Surprises."

Fang Yi placed his palm on the counter, and the originally solid counter suddenly became crystal clear,

as if it were a river shining with countless stars.

He let his finger fall lightly onto one of the stars and said, "This is the space-time of the Pirate World; every star is a life that has left a mark on the world in the past, present, and future of the Pirate World."

Whitebeard widened his eyes.

Those bright and dim stars seemed to have an inexplicable attraction, but every time he wanted to get close, he felt danger.

He watched Fang Yi's finger land on that very bright star.

"The danger you perceive stems from the instinctive fear of your soul."

Fang Yi touched that star,

and countless movie-like fragments emerged.

"This is... me?"

Whitebeard looked at those fragments in shock;

those images were the traces of his own life.

Born in a village on an island in the New World, so poor they could not pay the Heavenly Tribute, leading to rampant pirates and human traffickers, and finally the destruction of the country.

Then came Whitebeard setting sail to travel, becoming a crew member of the Rocks Pirates, all the way to the battle at God Valley, and finally establishing the Whitebeard Pirates until now.

"Once you know the subsequent future in advance, it will change the operation of the Pirate World, so the danger you perceive comes from the fear of your own soul, and also from the warning of the fate of the Pirate World to you."

The images cut off at the moment Hongfa Xiangkesi boarded the Moby Dick to persuade him to give up pursuing Blackbeard.

According to the time, it was exactly today.

Fang Yi did not continue to play the future for Whitebeard; after all, that was a paid service.

"Gurararararara..."

After a moment of silence, Whitebeard burst into heroic laughter: "Even observing from the perspective of a bystander, this old man's life can be considered magnificent; it's so wonderful that I can't help but want to applaud!"
