Chapter 145: Seeing and Hearing Colors Warns of the Future

The latter half of the Grand Line, the New World seas.

Kizaru was lying elegantly beside Vegapunk's laboratory, wearing dark sunglasses.

Though he didn't understand why the Five Elders had given Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen another Devil Fruit, as long as the currently stable relationship could be maintained, that was enough.

Those hawks at the G5 Branch were clamoring day and night to issue an Edict of Extermination to arrest the younger brother.

Truly, ignorance breeds fearlessness.

Others may not be clear on the younger brother's combat power, but could Kizaru, of all people, be unclear? Even Vice Admiral Garp was injured after clashing with the younger brother.

What was even more terrifying was the younger brother's growth trend.

A step up every few months, entering the next level of power every few months.

The Navy's understanding of the younger brother's true strength was always one step, or even several steps, behind.

In such a situation of severe information asymmetry, it was fundamentally difficult to formulate an effective counter-plan; rash action would only increase casualties.

Buzzzzzzzz~

The vibration in his pocket interrupted Kizaru's thoughts; he slowly took out a Den Den Mushi.

"Moshi moshi."

Den Den Mushi: "Borsalino, return to Marineford immediately to assemble. The Navy will publicly execute Luo Jie's son in one week."

Damn it, Kizaru really wanted to curse.

"Sengoku-san? Are you sure you want to do this?"

The Den Den Mushi mimicked a helpless expression.

"The Five Elders have already approved the Extermination Plan; the God's Knights and Saint Nasu will intervene to assist."

Kizaru said expressionlessly.

"I understand."

Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Kizaru fell silent for a long time, ultimately choosing not to leak this information.

"Younger brother, I'm sorry."

"Big brother... it's my duty."

Kizaru understood that the cooperation agreement between him and Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen had been voided the moment the Navy chose to publicly execute Luo Jie's son.

The Navy's move was undoubtedly opening the shackles on Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen with its own hands.

But what could he do?

If it were just Fleet Admiral Sengoku's resolution, Kizaru would have stopped it no matter what, but the order came from the nominal highest authority of the World Government: the Five Elders.

Truly ironic.

Just recently they had given the younger brother a Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit, yet they chose to completely erase the younger brother and the Morning Star Pirates.

The younger brother was right; the World Government changes its face faster than flipping a book.

Honeycomb Island Port.

Saint Saint Saiwen sat on the dragon head of the Donghai Dihuang, trying to create an enticing light source to attract lanternfish.

Thereby obtaining pure gold, and the scientist inside the lanternfish's belly who can produce pure gold; the importance of which scientist is above that of pure gold.

The pure gold produced endlessly will help Saint Saint Saiwen become one of the wealthy men on the trading platform, comparable to the guy planting Senzu Beans in the Dragon Ball world.

Senzu Beans and pure gold are not a one-time deal, but continuous profit-making projects.

After all, the temptation of immortality is extremely alluring in most worlds.

Of course, there are many Good Items with better effects than pure gold, such as the Water of Life.

Those who drink the Water of Life will never die regardless of the injuries they suffer; the only method of death is for those who drank the Water of Life to kill each other.

Unfortunately, it is not currently available on the trading platform.

Suddenly, Saint Saint Saiwen's eyelid kept twitching non-stop, and he inexplicably saw some blurry images.

Such as,

Buggy's body pierced by magma, Mihawk growing fangs and black wings on his back; these nonsensical images flashed crazily before his eyes like slides.

Saint Saint Saiwen rubbed his eyes.

"Is this an alternative warning mechanism for foreseeing the future? Or am I starting to have hallucinations?"

Feeling inexplicably depressed, Saint Saint Saiwen stopped his work and took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

Doooooo~

"Mr. Morgans, is there anything unusual on the seas recently?"

The Morning Star Pirates currently lack talent for intelligence work most; Yuzhi Xiliu is training the Second Squad, namely the crew of the former Flying Pirates.

To see results from intelligence, at least another year or even longer is needed.

After all, it takes time to embed oneself in the upper echelons.

The Den Den Mushi spoke with quite an excited tone: "Mr. Barzab, I was just about to tell you."

"The Navy Headquarters has transferred a large number of Marines from other branches; my photographers even captured Admiral Aokiji riding a bicycle in the Marineford seas."

"The Marine Hero Garp stationed at the G1 Branch, and Admiral Akainu from the G5 Branch, have also returned."

"Gathering three Admiral-level powers simultaneously, with Garp ready to support at any time, the Navy must be planning some large-scale operation recently."

"Mr. Barzab."

"Wait a moment, I'll use my connections to inquire further."

Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, combining the information provided by Morgans with those inexplicably flashing images, Saint Saint Saiwen understood most of it in his heart.

This... is really too much like the Summit War.

"Could it be that Buggy... has been captured?!"

"The Navy wants to lure us over?"

"I led the Morning Star Pirates there, but Mihawk was possessed by Black Transformation and turned into a demon?"

That means, besides the Navy's Three Admirals—Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru—and Karp, the Divine Knights also mobilized, and even Ime descended.

Only when Ime descends does Mihawk become subject to Black Transformation.

It's exactly the kind of thing the World Government could do.

They just delivered a Yuki Yuki Fruit the other day, and now they're planning an alternative Summit War?

If this had happened before Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen made a deal with Satan Santa, the World Government and Navy's high-end forces might have worried him.

But before a million points?

You're nothing but shit.

I originally wanted to get along with you nicely, but all I got was one attack after another.

If that's how it is, then all of you can die.

The Kenbunshoku warning mechanism is most likely based on Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's current strength, predicting future scenarios that might occur—then—

System point allocation!

【Purchase Fruit Awakening】

【Ding, your Logia Raito Raito Fruit has successfully awakened. Remaining points: 906600】

【Purchase Give You a Chance】

【Ding, congratulations! You've gained the opportunity to consume a second Devil Fruit. Remaining points: 706600】

【Ding, new item added to Shangcheng…】

【Another opportunity: 800,000 points, and you'll gain the chance to consume a third Devil Fruit. Please awaken your second Devil Fruit.】

In an instant, he returned to the captain's cabin and took out one by one: the Superhuman Sui Sui Fruit, the Superhuman Teleport Fruit, the Superhuman Tian Tian Fruit, and the Elbaf national treasure.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen had originally planned to find pure gold, then travel to Lei Shen Island to train for a while and develop his Raito Raito Fruit to awakening state on his own,

just to save ten thousand points.

But plans never keep up with changes.

His gaze swept over the Tian Tian Fruit, the Teleport Fruit… and finally settled on the Sui Sui Fruit.

"Gonna turn into a dumb-laughing kid?"

It seems only this way can he avoid being controlled by Ime's Black Transformation.

Fine, laugh dumbly then.

After all, it's not like I can only laugh dumbly.

If one's conviction is strong enough, after awakening, the Sui Sui Fruit can mimic the power of any Devil Fruit—even the Elbaf national treasure.

Even Ime's ability is not out of the question.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen grabbed the Sui Sui Fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching it clean.

Only after swallowing did he suddenly realize: the awakening of the Sui Sui Fruit was handled by the system—he didn't need to develop it himself at all.

Shit! I'm such an idiot.

【Awaken Second Devil Fruit】

【Ding, your Superhuman Sui Sui Fruit has successfully awakened. Remaining points: 506600】

【Purchase Kenbunshoku: See the Future】

【Purchase Kenbunshoku: Mind Reading】

【Ding, successfully purchased Kenbunshoku: See the Future and Mind Reading. Remaining points: 436600】

He cleared the Shangcheng direct-sale page, leaving only the third Fruit and third Fruit Awakening, each priced at 800,000 points. Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen grinned.

"Watch how I kill you all!"

So what if they gather the Three Admirals, the Five Elders, the Divine Knights, and Ime himself?

I'm going to blow up Mary Geoise first.
