Chapter 121: Teuchi's Luxury

On Honeycomb Island, there is an inn.

The inn is the most luxurious hotel on the island; it was once the venue where the former island lord, Wang Zhi, threw parties, before Saint Saint Saiwen renamed it the Youjian Inn.

Because members of the Whitebeard Pirates voluntarily took on most of Whitebeard's injuries and entered a wounded state, the Whitebeard Pirates had no choice but to recuperate on the island for a few days.

Room 302 of the hotel.

Teuchi stood by the window, his bright eyes surveying Honeycomb Island through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

What he saw today once again refreshed Teuchi's understanding of Little Bai Mao and the Morning Star Pirates; no matter how many news reports he had seen before, nothing compared to the shock of witnessing it firsthand.

The fact that the legendary great pirate Golden Lion had regrown his severed legs was already astonishing enough,

but what was even more incredible was Golden Lion's attitude toward Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen: recognition, obedience...

And then, in Teuchi's mind, the seemingly invincible Old Man Whitebeard had actually been defeated by the eighteen-year-old Little Bai Mao.

Little Bai Mao hadn't even a single scratch.

This was simply like a dream.

Counting carefully, the Morning Star Pirates possessed not only Little Bai Mao and Golden Lion, who rivaled Whitebeard, but also two great swordsmen: Mihawk and Master Tenghu.

That Rain of Silence, Xiliu, who loved wearing a military coat, also wielded a famous blade; though he had not yet become a great swordsman, he still possessed considerable strength.

There was also the bear, whose medical abilities rivaled Ma Ma Ma Erke's!

The bear, a user of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi who maximized mobility, and Jin Ni, a user of the Mon Mon no Mi.

Even the three intern brats would inevitably become capable officers in due time.

With such a lineup, the Morning Star Pirates were simply too overpowered, leaving the Whitebeard Pirates far behind; the gap was now too vast to bridge.

So then—

Staying with the Whitebeard Pirates would drastically reduce the chances of obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit, due to the Morning Star Pirates' powerful rise.

Teuchi felt somewhat annoyed.

What should he do!?

Should he follow the example of Oden, the captain of the Second Division, who joined Roger's crew, and join the Morning Star Pirates?

Difficult, it was truly too difficult.

Judging by Little Bai Mao's attitude this afternoon, the other party had long forgotten the unpleasantness of those years, not even bothering to look at him specifically.

This made Teuchi feel relieved, yet strangely irritated at the same time.

Was I really so unworthy of your memory?

Even though he was wounded from sharing Whitebeard's injuries, Teuchi didn't care at all; his mood was primarily soured by the whereabouts of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Teuchi had already predicted that Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen would most likely obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit first.

And his dream might end in failure.

Teuchi simply couldn't understand how a person could change so much and become so strong in just five years.

Little Bai Mao, whom he could have crushed with a wave of his hand five years ago, had grown in merely five years to the point where he could defeat Golden Lion and Whitebeard.

How is that even possible?!

Even his own father, Rocks, couldn't have done that back then.

The only possibility Teuchi could think of was: Little Bai Mao ate the Mythical Zoan-type, Thunder God form; this Devil Fruit, which he had never heard of before, must be extremely powerful.

He had heard of the Sun God, though.

But what god is the Thunder God?!

Teuchi dared not make a sound, not even whispering to himself; according to Golden Lion, Little Bai Mao's Observation Haki covers an extremely wide range, and the entire Honeycomb Island might be within his surveillance.

After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't clear his thoughts.

Teuchi even began to fantasize: if he ate the Dark-Dark Fruit first, and then consumed the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Thunder God form, wouldn't he take off immediately?

The Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit.

The Zoan-type Thunder God form.

The Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Gathering the three most powerful Devil Fruits, directly recruiting a group of subordinates like the Morning Star Pirates, and attacking the Holy Land Mary Geoise!

To avenge the blood feud of the Davey family.

Because of his unique body structure, Teuchi didn't need to sleep, which was why he often indulged in wild fantasies.

At the same time, on the Donghai Dihuang.

Saint Saint Saiwen stared at the Paramecia-type Ship-Ship Fruit on the table, pondered for a moment, and chose to list it for sale.

The Ship-Ship Fruit was undoubtedly more suitable for a high-tech outer space world; it would not be affected by seawater and could develop abilities using high-tech spaceships as a reference.

Unlike this pirate world, where the technology tree was skewed and most areas were the Sea's World.

In that case, it was better to sell it at a high price.

【Ship-Ship Fruit: 100,000 points. Want to become a living star-destroyer? You can! Seller's note: Also selling the Paramecia-type Teleport Fruit, Sweet-Sweet Fruit, and the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit; highest bidder wins】

"I hope those with dreams will buy it."

Once he entered the dual-fruit stage, Saint Saint Saiwen would no longer worry about Imu's black-turn domination as he had before; next, he needed to consider his subordinate forces.

After Kaido physically purged the entire ruling class of Wano Country, with the current lineup of the Morning Star Pirates, taking over Wano Country would be no problem at all.

The only thing needed was a large number of talents to govern.

Occupying without governing was no better than living freely as a pirate crew on the seas.

Actually, Saint Saint Saiwen couldn't quite explain why Mengxiang Yixin wanted to overthrow the World Government; perhaps the World Government's act of creating the Void Century history was very similar to certain pig-skins.

Before, he couldn't.

Now, he would leave not a single one alive.

Switching back to the Shangcheng Direct Sales Realm interface, Saint Saint Saiwen stared at the newly refreshed items, his eyes flickering.

【Fruit Awakening: 100,000 Points】

【Observation Haki: Future Sight: 50,000 Points】

【Observation Haki: Telepathy: 20,000 Points】

【Giving You a Chance: 200,000 Points】

【Second Fruit Awakening: 200,000 Points】

【Listening to the Sounds of All Things: 50,000 Points】

Currently, among the refreshed options regarding the three types of Haki, Saint Saint Saiwen, relying on his own awakening and purchases, has completely cleared the options for Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

For the Fruit Awakening, he plans to return from Elbaf, obtain the pure gold, and then head to Lei Shen Island to attempt awakening on his own.

That leaves only the two options for Observation Haki, and the newly refreshed Listening to the Sounds of All Things.

Now that he possesses Observation Killing, Saint Saint Saiwen's Observation Haki is more than sufficient, and he is not so urgent about Future Sight.

As for whether Listening to the Sounds of All Things is Observation Haki, there was no conclusion before he transmigrated; anyway, since it has refreshed, whether it is or isn't seems less important.

When attempting to subdue Zunesha, he will consider whether to purchase Listening to the Sounds of All Things.

The Lightning Squirrel Iron Thunder should be able to speak, right?

Three days later, after Ma Ma Ma Erke's careful care, the injuries of the Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders had recovered, and Whitebeard proposed to take his leave.

"In the future, prepare a bit more wine for me every month."

Saint Saint Saiwen was just about to complain a couple of times, but he saw Whitebeard take the box handed to him by Ma Ma Ma Erke.

"Here, a birthday gift for you."

"Hehe." Saint Saint Saiwen rubbed his hands.

"Then I'll take it."

Taking the box handed to him by Whitebeard, Saint Saint Saiwen suddenly remembered that he had been too busy looking at Devil Fruits earlier and hadn't had time to look at the gift sent by the Five Elders yet.

Whitebeard boarded the Moby Dick, still not forgetting to stand on the deck and instruct.

"Don't forget the Dandelion Wine every month."

Saint Saint Saiwen waved his hand: "Rest assured, I won't forget."

One has to admit, which iron fool in Teyvat, besides being a fool, has a very good business mind, actually thinking of selling Mondstadt's Dandelion Wine.

"Young man Saint Saint Saiwen, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Brother Xiao Ma."

Watching the Moby Dick ride the wind and waves, gradually disappearing from sight, Saint Saint Saiwen was just about to say to set sail for Elbaf.

But he saw Mihawk say softly: "Didn't we agree not to use the captain's privilege?"

Saint Saint Saiwen remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"Old Mi, once we reach Elbaf, I absolutely will not exercise the captain's privilege again."

Mihawk nodded in satisfaction: "When do we depart?"

Saint Saint Saiwen smiled slightly.

"Depart right now, immediately, this very second."
