Chapter 49: Lunarian Race

Long, long ago, the Lunarian race established a nation on the Red Line, attracting other races; people called this kingdom the God's Kingdom.

They also called the Lunarians "Gods."

Kaido's top commander, the Flame Disaster King, is one of the only survivors of that race in the public eye.

"God?" Saint Saint Saiwen's expression was playful.

"This is just to prevent me from turning to the World Government!"

The destruction of the Lunarian race and the God's Kingdom came directly from the hands of the World Government.

To utterly eradicate this race, the World Government even issued a special bounty rule: simply report the whereabouts of a Lunarian, and you can claim a bounty of one hundred million Berries.

If Saint Saint Saiwen purchased the Lunarian bloodline, setting aside which part of his body would catch fire first, once the World Government found out, he would face relentless pursuit to the death.

But then again, when on fire, defense increases by one hundred percent; when extinguished, speed increases by one hundred percent, and he can also generate and control flames.

It equals eating an extra Mera Mera no Mi.

This is not simply one plus one.

The Lunarians' innate indestructible flames are already a terrifying power capable of burning heaven and earth; now adding the power of Lei Ting from the Goro Goro no Mi.

The power unleashed by the collision of the two has long surpassed the scope of ability stacking; it is clearly an overload reaction capable of blasting through the battlefield.

It is indeed worth having.

As for percentage attributes, they might not show obvious advantages in the early stages, but in the late stages, after stacking sufficient base attributes, percentage attributes will bring significant improvements.

No, Saint Saint Saiwen has no "early stage" to speak of.

His current strength is infinitely close to the Admiral level, already placing him in the late stage.

If he also learns Conqueror's Haki Defense, stacks Iron Balloon, Armament Haki, and a 100% defense boost, his defense will be simply too terrifying.

Twenty years later, when meeting Roronoa Zoro, he could even shout: "Come, I'll stand here and let you cut me."

And after a 100% speed boost, although the Goro Goro no Mi still cannot compare to Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi, being twice as fast is solid fact.

"50,000 points... expensive has its reasons."

Saint Saint Saiwen fully accepted the price, but being poor is the biggest problem he currently faces.

Conqueror's Haki Defense requires 100,000 points, Observation Haki Future Sight requires 50,000 points, and the Lunarian God's Bloodline requires 50,000 points.

Let alone being unable to afford these, he also cannot afford the Armament Haki Ryuo, priced at 20,000 points.

"Poor, really too poor."

After thinking for a moment, Saint Saint Saiwen painfully listed the Xiong Xiong no Mi: Mythical Zoan Type, Thunder Bear Form on the trading platform.

How to put it? To dominate the seas, the overall strength of the pirate crew is important, but what is more important is the strength of the captain, Saint Saint Saiwen.

This is the cornerstone of becoming a leader.

During the God Valley War, why was Im so awesome fighting six against one? Wasn't it simply because his strength was strong!

Before improving personal strength, any other factor is irrelevant, or rather, not that important.

【Xiong Xiong no Mi: Mythical Zoan Type, Thunder Bear Form: 60,000 points, Storm gathers, carry me to the clouds, seller's note: Storm, rage on】

The price of 60,000 points was set by Saint Saint Saiwen referencing the trading platform's 20,000 points request for the Gura Gura no Mi, aiming to only scam rich guys' money.

Poor people can't afford it either.

He estimated that only Warhammer Guy and Dragon Ball users who got a big bucket of Senzu Beans had the purchasing power.

If the Xiong Xiong no Mi is successfully sold, after deducting 10% tax, the remaining 54,000 points will be enough to buy the Lunarian bloodline, with four Senzu Beans left over.

Absolutely guaranteeing a promotion to Admiral-level power.

At that time—

Bottomless stomach, innate super strength, Iron Balloon, and the Lunarian bloodline will create a god-breaking, overpowered Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

Why not prioritize buying Observation Haki Future Sight? It's still that same saying: Future Sight has a chance to be cultivated on one's own, but the Lunarian bloodline cannot.

As for bloodline mixing... mixing is fine.

As a high-ranking pirate, Saint Saint Saiwen isn't even afraid of being poor; would he be afraid of a mere bloodline mix?

If possible, Saint Saint Saiwen would wish to mix several more; if they could refresh a Super Saiyan bloodline, he would buy it even if he had to sell his pots and pans.

Don't say Super Saiyan; even if they refreshed a Giant race bloodline or a Fish-Man race bloodline, under allowed conditions, Saint Saint Saiwen would take them all.

Except for the high price.

The only remaining problem with the Lunarian bloodline sold in the System Shangcheng is: a certain part catching fire.

Saint Saint Saiwen looked at his body soaking in the hot spring and didn't think much more: whatever, at worst he's just a firewood stick.

At least it belongs to personal characteristics.

It's not like it can't be extinguished; after extinguishing, speed increases by 100%, which is more useful than any black silk or white silk.

Climbing out of the bath, Saint Saint Saiwen fell asleep immediately under the buffs of +50% sleep quality and +50% recovery.

West Blue, Ohara Ruins.

Saint Saint Saiwen days have passed since the Marines launched the Buster Call on Ohara; the Marine fleet executing the Buster Call, led by five Vice Admirals, has also left long ago.

Among the rubble and gravel, a strange man with an extremely pointed head and a long tongue sticking out was holding a bouquet of flowers, mourning his friend Dr. Clover.

"Saxi burida na, Vegapunk."

Hearing the familiar voice, Vegapunk quickly wiped away his tears and turned around, his gaze meeting Monkey D. Luffy staring at his head.

"Luffy?"

"Your head is even fatter now."

"That's not important." Vegapunk squinted his eyes.

The reason his head keeps getting bigger is because Vegapunk ate the Nui Nui no Mi; the fruit grants him infinite brain capacity, but the more information he stores, the bigger his head continues to grow.

"Luffy, what are you doing in Ohara?"

"Me?" Dragon sneered. "I was greatly surprised to hear you finally became the World Government's lackey, when you clearly refused our Self-Defense Army's invitation."

Vegapunk protested, "What do you know!"

"Even with my wisdom and technology, what could your poor army produce? Technology also requires financial support!"

Dragon naturally understood that technology required financial support; he was simply furious at the World Government's decision to launch the Buster Call and destroy Ohara.

"You are as straightforward as ever."

The two sat down before the funeral flowers.

"Dragon, Ohara's will has not completely vanished. Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen of the Morning Star Pirates saved a little girl from the Navy's Buster Call bombardment."

"There are many reasonable people within the Navy. Do not lose sight of your goal, Dragon."

Dragon's gaze turned cold. "Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen is different from ordinary pirates, but this matter is truly intolerable. I will forge an army capable of fighting."

Why could the Morning Star Pirates come and go freely under the Navy's Buster Call bombardment?

Because whether it was Captain Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, Vice-Captain Mihawk, or combatant Master Tenghu, they were all warriors with immense combat power, capable of fighting and achieving victory.

What the Self-Defense Army lacked were warriors like these.

Vegapunk asked in surprise, "Aren't you the one who hates war the most?"

Dragon did not answer this question. "Just wait and see, Vegapunk. I will change the world and not let Clover's sacrifice be in vain..."

Though it was a declaration of heroic spirit, Dragon inexplicably felt a heaviness in his heart.

"What is wrong with me?"

"Why do I feel as if I am about to lose something?"
