Chapter 29: This Ship Is Unreasonably Cool

Extort at the bar, front desk.

Xia Qi put down the glass she was wiping: “Devil Fruit? Zoan or Paramecia?”

“Either is fine, but a Logia would be even better.”

Xia Qi lit a lady cigarette.

“Don’t think everyone’s as lucky as you—Logia Devil Fruits haven’t been traded much in recent years. There’s an auction house on Island No. 1; you could check it out.”

“Don’t forget, the deal happens at night.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.”

During his two years of training on Skypiea, the only way Seven earned points was by consigning Skypiea shells, but before that, he had directly sold a Gorilla Fruit to the system.

In short.

If you want to quickly earn points, you can consign Devil Fruits on the trading platform or sell them directly to the system.

Besides Devil Fruits and Skypiea shells, the pirate world’s distinctive items include various legendary swords, the sacred tree Adam, and sea stone...

The Den Den Mushi also counts.

However, the trading platform cannot trade living creatures.

Roger’s sword, Enma, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, was buried by Seven in Karp’s family courtyard.

The legendary sword Shusui is in Moria’s possession.

The direct system sale price for Enma is 10,000 points, and for Shusui, it’s 5,000 points.

Selling them just feels like a loss.

Enma, the Supreme Grade Sword, doesn’t matter much—Roger’s grave is already covered in grass over two zhang tall.

Thanks to Seven’s sneaky maneuver of sending Roger’s wife ahead to Karp’s village, by now, little Enma is just over one year old.

In this life, old Karp might actually fulfill his dream: his grandson becoming a Marine Admiral.

In that case,

Captain Roger's sword, Ace, is no longer needed by little Ace; it would be better used as a tool to help Seven ascend to the strongest in the world.

I’ll make time to visit Windmill Village and retrieve Enma, then list it on the trading platform for 20,000 points.

Who knows? Maybe Hammer Bro might buy it.

Although Shusui’s value is lower than Enma’s, if used wisely, its returns could far exceed 5,000 points.

The legendary sword Shusui is a national treasure of Wano Country.

Imagine this:

When Seven defeats Kaido and uses Shusui to decapitate Kurohige, such a symbolic act will surely remove obstacles to Seven becoming the Shogun of Wano.

To make this happen, first, we must reclaim Shusui from Moria.

As the future Lightning Shogun of Wano, Seven naturally holds sovereignty over all Wano assets.

Including Momonosuke’s... mother.

As for the other distinctive item, the sacred tree Adam:

If I obtain Adam wood, as captain of the Morning Star Pirates, I’d prioritize building a pirate ship—unless I can acquire one through other means.

“Huh?” Seven’s eyes lit up as he quickly opened the trading platform to filter listings.

【Immortal Bean: 1,000 points. Instantly restores physical strength and all injuries upon consumption; ineffective against diseases. Seller’s note: One bean swallowed, my fate is mine alone—bulk supply available, hurry before it’s gone】

Seven immediately pictured—

A fat man clutching a jar, grabbing handfuls of Immortal Beans and eating them like broad beans.

Stop! Stop right now!

“Dragon Ball guy, you’re about to get rich!”

“So enviable.”

Even though his account balance was only 1,688 points, Seven bought one Immortal Bean—this item can save your life in critical moments and effectively give you multiple lives.

Too bad I have so few points—if I had more, I’d buy every single one and leave none behind.

In future battles when I’m exhausted, popping one Immortal Bean will restore me to full health—even if I can’t turn the tide, it’ll create a deterrent.

Come on, I’m unkillable...

After browsing a while longer, Seven actually found several ships, like the Queen Anne’s Revenge and the Flying Dutchman.

But for Seven, who stands 2.6 meters tall and will surely exceed 3 meters,

these ships are too small.

Especially since Seven plans to invite—Bartholomew Kuma, who is 6.89 meters tall—onto his crew.

Ships built for normal human sizes won’t match the crew’s stature; you can’t expect crew members to sleep lying flat on deck forever, can you?

That would breed resentment.

The only ship that fits is sold directly by the store.

【East Sea Emperor: 10,000 points】

【A massive ship crafted from Adam wood, powered by both sails and electricity. The dragon-headed prow can fire ultra-electric cannons. Sleep quality +50%, recovery rate +50%】

【Maintenance cost: 100 points per repair】

East Sea Emperor

Heart pounding, hands trembling.

Seven’s first thought: crimson sails riding waves, dragon head piercing the sea—this ship is absurdly cool.

The hull is primarily fiery red, accented with black-gold dragon motifs on the prow and crimson sails bearing flame flags—how can one describe it except as “cool”?

Who could possibly refuse a black dragon?

Most abstract of all: this ship’s dual sail-electric propulsion system feels custom-made for Seven.

“I feel like the system set me up.”

Seven found zero reason to refuse—it perfectly matched his taste, had three levels of Western-style rooms, a large villa at the stern, and an ocean-view deck.

The dragon head on the bow even fires electric cannons!

Plus, two group buffs: +50% sleep quality and +50% recovery.

If you normally need eight hours of sleep,

with the ship’s +50% sleep quality and recovery, you’d save hours—time you could use for other... enjoyable activities.

Seven’s already insane appetite and steel-balloon recovery are further boosted by 50% aboard.

In the future, even if you’re slow to bandage a wound, it might already have healed on its own.

Perfect for home, travel, or raiding and looting.

Plus, the system handles repairs—even though 100 points per repair is expensive, it’s still better than those shady merchants with no after-sales service.

The only problem: the price is beyond Seven’s reach.

It’s not about value or cost-effectiveness—it’s simply because he’s broke.

“Ten thousand points could buy ten Immortal Beans.”

Seven rubbed his fingers—ten Immortal Beans equal ten lives. Trading ten lives for one ship? That’s an absurdly bad deal.

This is ten lives we’re talking about.

But then again, how can you even call yourself a pirate without a decent ship?

You might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Especially when it’s this gorgeous, this powerful, this heart-pounding, and utterly irresistible—the East Sea Emperor.

After two and a half seconds, Seven made a conscience-bending decision: tonight, he’ll exchange his gold for Berries, then tomorrow, head straight to Windmill Village.

“Captain, you won’t hate me for this, right?”

“A blade belongs to a hero. Enma, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, won’t be wasted in the hands of another world user.”

Especially in the hands of someone like Hammer Bro.

Even Teyvat’s dumbass could be strong enough to marry Raiden Shogun.

“Captain, if you don’t respond, I’ll take that as a yes.”

After several deep breaths, Seven calmed his burning emotions. Though the system had set him up, he chose to embrace it willingly.

There was no way he could refuse.
