Chapter 3: Just You Wait

In the drizzling rain curtain, Saint Saint Saiwen and Mihawk walked side by side through the crowd.

"Mihawk-san, is the opponent strong?"

"In town... it easily draws the Marines."

Saint Saint Saiwen couldn't help but think to himself: You, a Marine hunter, are afraid of the Marines?

And—

Clearly, before the captain surrendered, an agreement had been reached with the World Government that the World Government would not trouble the remaining crew members of other pirate crews, yet they still singled him out.

Truly, a World Government with a negative reputation score.

"Damn it, just you wait."

Before the system was activated, you hunted me everywhere; now that the system is activated, you still want to capture me.

Simply outrageous!

If you have the ability, go catch Vice Captain Lei Li! Clinging to a chef like this, isn't this bullying an honest person!

Back in the room, Saint Saint Saiwen immediately opened the Newcomer Gift Pack; two streams of warmth instantly spread through his body, followed immediately by his intestines and stomach beginning to churn wildly.

【Glutton: Supreme Gluttonous Bag, can rapidly replenish stored energy through eating, comment: Three-meter height, you deserve to own it】

【Born with Divine Strength: Your strength is somewhat great】

As the Glutton ability took effect, the sensation of hunger, absent for six years, attacked once more.

Taking the Goro Goro no Mi from the system space, Saint Saint Saiwen ignored the nauseating smell and crunched it all up, leaving not even the stem behind.

Even though eating a single bite of a Devil Fruit grants the ability, Saint Saint Saiwen had been washed by the internet.

Naturally, he had heard the rumor: eating the entire Devil Fruit makes awakening easier.

Crackling electricity permeated his entire body; Saint Saint Saiwen stared at his elementalized hands, and the unease and suppression that had lingered in his heart since the Luo Jie Pirates disbanded vanished in an instant.

With the fruit ability, even if he encounters an enemy too strong to fight, at least he can still run.

He could even sense the thunderclouds in the sky; it seemed that with just a thought, Lei Ting could pour down.

"Finally, I can live on my own."

In the room of about ten square meters, Saint Saint Saiwen transformed into Lei Ting and darted back and forth, experiencing the feeling of elementalization.

From now on, I can finally shout: I am the Lightning Man who ate the Goro Goro no Mi!

Releasing elementalization, Saint Saint Saiwen used lightning to temper his body while studying the functions of the Ten Thousand Worlds Trading Platform.

Simply put.

This is a cross-world trading platform, purchasing items with points or trading goods for goods.

Items from the Pirate World can be sold to the system to obtain points, or items can be consigned or listed for purchase requests from users of other worlds to earn points.

It's somewhat like a trading hall in a game.

Take an example.

Captain Luo Jie's sword Ace, the system's buyout price is 10,000 points; the famous sword Autumn Water's buyout price is 5,000 points.

If one is unwilling to sell directly to the system, the Supreme Grade Blade Ace can be consigned on the trading platform at a higher price.

Upon transaction, the platform will deduct a 10% tax fee.

Looking at the numerous items listed on the platform, Saint Saint Saiwen glanced roughly, and flames of Xiong Xiong instantly ignited in his eyes.

【Mengxiang Yixin: 88,888 tons of gold, seller's message: Hehe, my wife is Raiden Makoto!】

【EX~Curry Stick: 10,000 points, seller's message: I have a small ahoge!】

【Purchase Request: Is there a brother from the Pirate World? 1,000 points, seeking to purchase a Devil Fruit】

【Purchase Request: Is there a brother from the Pirate World? 10,000 points, only seeking the death of Momonosuke】

【Purchase Request: Is there a brother from the Pirate World? 10,000 points, only seeking the death of the escape king Wang Yi】

Saint Saint Saiwen felt envy and hatred: That guy who transmigrated to the Teyvat Continent really deserves to die! Married Raiden Makoto, and even hung Mengxiang Yixin out to show off.

"Damn it, just you wait."

My own suffering is certainly hateful, but others' success makes one's heart ache even more.

Both are transmigrators; why is he penniless, with neither noble birth nor a powerful physique, while that idiot in the Teyvat Continent could marry Raiden Makoto?

Saint Saint Saiwen completely broke down.

"Damn it, even if I empty the gold of Gold City, I will buy Mengxiang Yixin."

"I'll make you, you turtle grandson, so angry!"

After cursing for a long time, Saint Saint Saiwen remembered to test the specific concept of points—so he took the Eternal Pose pointing to Laugh Tale from his pocket.

【Sell Eternal Pose (Laugh Tale) for 1,000 points?】

"No."

Putting all the Eternal Poses into the system warehouse, Saint Saint Saiwen looked at the system's Direct Sales Realm:

【Observation Haki: 5,000 points】

【Armament Haki: 5,000 points】

【Conqueror's Haki: Already Owned】

【Swordsman Cultivation Experience: 1,000 points】

【Steel Balloon: 20,000 points】

Compared to the numerous items consigned on the trading platform, the Direct Sales Realm is relatively concise, selling only the three types of Haki, swordsmanship, and physique.

"Truly... expensive!"

"Observation Haki and Armament Haki, if one cannot awaken them on their own, each requires 5,000 points! The Steel Balloon is even as high as 20,000 points."

Although he coveted them immensely.

But... he couldn't afford them, truly couldn't afford them.

Saint Saint Saiwen immediately made up his mind to leave Loguetown as soon as possible, then head to Elbaf.

Use that great golden pillar to purchase Mengxiang Yixin.

A sword is a swordsman's second life; for a swordsman, the importance of a divine artifact like Mengxiang Yixin is self-evident.

Originally, Saint Saint Saiwen had planned to return to retrieve Captain Luo Jie's sword Ace, but with Mengxiang Yixin available...

What Ace? I don't know him.

As for the two types of Haki, Saint Saint Saiwen prepared to endure hardship and continue cultivating for a while, since right now, from head to toe, he didn't have a single point.

Items priced at over ten thousand points are almost not worth considering in the short term.

Outside the window, the rain continued to fall.

Mihawk had not come to urge departure; Saint Saint Saiwen guessed that Mihawk was also afraid of getting wet, and the coffin ship was indeed too small, making even using the toilet a nightmare.

Inside the weapon shop across from the hotel.

CP9 agent Lu Bianyi's eyebrows were almost knotted into a single rope: "How is this guy with Mihawk?"

"With Mihawk present, I have no chance to make a move. Should I call the Marines for help?"

If it were other members of the Luo Jie Pirates, calling the Marines might be feasible, but for a weakling like Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, it was completely unnecessary!

Calling the Marines meant having to share a portion of the credit.

Inside the hotel, Saint Saint Saiwen ordered dinner for twenty people and ate heartily, much to Mihawk's slightly surprised gaze.

"We will leave after dark."

Saint Saint Saiwen chewed the food with large bites: "Mihawk, a man like you would also worry about attracting Marine soldiers?"

Mihawk lifted his cup of red tea: "The one who escorted Luo Jie to Loguetown was the Marine Hero... Garp."

"Old man Garp..." A wave of fear washed over Saint Saint Saiwen.

Garp, a man who even Captain Luo Jie found headache-inducing, a pure battle-joy maniac who also enjoyed headbutting people when fighting.

Even as strong as Imu, Garp would still beat him without hesitation.

He traversed an entire Great Pirate Era with his pair of iron fists, being both enemy and friend to Captain Luo Jie, respecting each other.

Hearing from the strongest man, Jabba, that years ago Luo Jie had invited Garp aboard his ship, but the latter refused.

Precisely for this reason, before meeting Mihawk at Twin Cape, Saint Saint Saiwen had specifically gone to Fusha Village to leave a surprise for Garp.

"If it is Garp, we should indeed be careful. Mihawk, I will go get a large ship in a moment."

When he arrived earlier, Saint Saint Saiwen could ride Mihawk's small coffin boat, ignoring the effects of the sea, but now that was impossible; even for the sake of easier toilet use, he needed a large ship.

Due to the public execution of the Pirate King, Loguetown Port was filled with all kinds of vessels, from large to small, from cargo ships to yachts, everything was available.

As a pirate, stealing a ship was nothing unusual.
