Chapter 341: A Ship Flying to Outer Space

Regarding the specific date for marrying Yamato, normally it would have to wait eight years, simply because Yamato turns eighteen in eight years.

But in reality, since Saint Saint Saiwen possesses the Age-Age Fruit ability, Yamato's age is not a problem at all.

The Age-Age Fruit can not only change one's own age, but also change others' ages, such as turning a child into an old person, or an old person into a child.

It is entirely possible to make Yamato an adult instantly.

However, Saint Saint Saiwen has a basic moral bottom line, so he decided to wait another eight years.

"In eight years, I will be exactly twenty-nine."

As the saying goes, one stands firm at thirty; getting married at twenty-nine is just right.

Putting aside his wandering thoughts, Saint Saint Saiwen examined the unexpected gains from this trip: a Devil Fruit that looked remarkably like metal and a rapier.

【Whether to absorb the Paramecia-type Magnet-Magnet Fruit...】

【No】

"It's actually the Magnet-Magnet Fruit?"

The Paramecia-type Magnet-Magnet Fruit grants the user the ability to control magnetism and manipulate all metals, making them the Magneto of the Pirate World.

South Blue, Kuzuk Island, Magnet-Magnet Fruit; Saint Saint Saiwen instantly thought of the one-armed Red-Haired — Kid, and Kid's best buddy, Killer.

If his memory serves him right, this pair of best buddies seem to be from South Blue and should be around five years old right now.

"Never mind, they are simply too young."

Saint Saint Saiwen did not choose to kidnap Kid and Killer and bring them back to Wano; he is a high-ranking pirate and truly could not commit such low-level pirate acts.

Or rather, he has no particular filter for Kid.

Before transmigrating, he had some degree of filter for the Straw Hat crew and others, but after living in the Pirate World for twenty-one years, no matter how thick the filter was, it faded with time.

An outsider and an insider are ultimately different.

Hmm, I'll tell Senior Shi Ji later.

Let Senior Shi Ji come over and kidnap them.

Returning to the private room at the Sabaody Auction House through a spatial door, Saint Saint Saiwen continued the unfinished auction.

Seeing Saint Saint Saiwen's ability to come and go freely, Saint Elaine could not help but look envious and say.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, your Devil Fruit ability is truly great! If I also possessed such an ability, I could go wherever I wanted."

Saint Saint Saiwen smiled and began to fan the flames.

"The Five Elders should still have quite a few top-tier Devil Fruits; ask them for some later."

Hearing this, Saint Elaine sighed.

"Laozu Sect gave me a Devil Fruit, saying it was the national treasure of Elbaf, but after I ate it, I could only turn into a small wooden boat, and once in the water, I couldn't even move."

Saint Saint Saiwen's gaze tightened slightly.

"National treasure of Elbaf? Is it the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type: Noah Ark Form?"

Good heavens, Imu actually let Saint Elaine consume this Paramecia-type Ship-Ship Fruit?

"You know?"

Saint Elaine shifted the topic: "I almost forgot, it was you who snatched their national treasure back from Elbaf."

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, tell me, how exactly should I develop this Devil Fruit? I can't possibly spend my whole life turning into a small wooden boat, can I?"

Thinking of becoming a user who fears seawater, while he can only turn into a small wooden boat, Saint Elaine felt like dying.

"I think," Saint Saint Saiwen paused for a moment.

"You should fully exert your subjective initiative and exhaust your imagination for a lifetime."

Saint Elaine blinked.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, say something I can understand."

"How to put it," Saint Saint Saiwen pondered for a moment.

"Who said a ship must go into the water? The Donghai Dihuang can fly in the sky too; you just need to break through your imagination and think bigger."

"Like a ship that flies to outer space."

The development of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits —

The core lies in deeply understanding the essence of the fruit's ability and maximizing its potential through creative, personalized training.

For instance, the String-String Fruit of the Flamingo is not only used to control others, but also to create birdcages, connect with clouds to fly, and repair damaged internal organs.

Applied to the Ship-Ship Fruit, one cannot just think of ships floating on water, but must also think of spaceships that fly, and interstellar warships that fly to outer space.

"A ship that flies to outer space?" Saint Elaine's eyes lit up, then quickly dimmed again.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, I have never seen one."

"Go find Vegapunk; Big Brain definitely knows how to solve it."

Since this concerns a major life event, Saint Elaine did not want to wait another moment and directly handed over a bill for fifty billion Berries to Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, please take me to Vegapunk; I want to study with Big Brain for a while."

Saint Elaine had already realized: if he could not develop the Noah Ark Form properly, he would become the most miserable user on the seas.

Other users can at least move freely, but he turns into a small wooden boat, can only stay motionless on the sea surface, and is still restricted.

In that case, it is better to take a gamble.

If he succeeds, he can go to outer space to have some fun later, and he will become the most handsome Celestial Dragon in the world.

Hearing this, Saint Saint Saiwen casually opened a spatial door leading to Punk Hazard.

"Remember to say hello to Big Brain for me."

"Rest assured, I won't forget."

The reason for specifically sending Saint Elaine away was that Saint Saint Saiwen's upcoming actions involved handing over Lafitte to the Vice Warden of Impel Down, Lemm.

The fewer people who know about such matters, the better.

After all, matters succeed through secrecy and fail through disclosure.

Just as Saint Saint Saiwen was preparing to leave, the auctioneer at the auction house pointed at a Devil Fruit and shouted.

"Everyone, look! A Paramecia-type Healing Fruit. This fruit possesses the ability to heal injuries in living beings."

"The starting price is three hundred million Berries."

Saint Saint Saiwen smiled faintly, already formulating a plan in his mind; he immediately pressed the bidding button in his private room and entered a bid of ten billion Berries.

Buying a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit for ten billion Berries and making such a huge scene—Sengoku will surely hear about it, won't he?

The auctioneer, having received the bid, stood on the platform stunned for several seconds before stammering out.

"From Private Room One, the honorable Lord Saint Elaine, a bid of ten billion Berries!"

"Ten billion Berries, once."

Hearing that a Celestial Dragon had bid ten billion Berries, everyone attending the auction fell silent simultaneously: Damn Celestial Dragons, they really don't treat Berries as money!

Ten billion Berries could normally buy twenty Devil Fruits, yet they bid so casually.

"Ten billion Berries, twice."

"Ten billion Berries, sold!"

Thinking of the generous commission from this order, the auctioneer was so excited his face turned red; he wished he could kneel right there and kowtow twice to Private Room One.

"Congratulations, Lord Saint Elaine."

Regarding the items subsequently auctioned, Saint Saint Saiwen perfectly demonstrated what it means not to treat Berries as money.

"Congratulations once again, Lord Saint Elaine."

Even with such extravagance and waste, by the time the auction house concluded, Saint Saint Saiwen still had not spent the five billion Berries in consumption funds provided by the Five Elders.

Can't spend it all; simply can't spend it all.

By the time Saint Saint Saiwen returned home laden with goods and left the Sabaody Archipelago, the scene that occurred at the Sabaody Auction House quickly festered and spread across the seas.

The Healing Fruit sold for ten billion Berries directly shattered the price record held by the Ope Ope no Mi.

Marine Headquarters, New Marineford.

The Fleet Admiral's office.

Upon receiving intelligence from the Marine G1 Branch in Sabaody, Sengoku slapped the desk before him, shattering it into countless fragments.

"Those five scallions, ginger, and garlic; they told me the World Government is short on funds just moments ago, and now Celestial Dragons spend ten billion Berries to buy a Healing Fruit."

Ten billion Berries!!!

Enough to build dozens of new warships for the Marines, enough to renovate several branches for the Marines.

"These bastards actually practice discrimination!"
