Golden Scales

Minos knew exactly what Charlotte Linlin was thinking, but he didn't care.

Back in his previous life, Minos had already understood that besides your parents, no one would be good to you for no reason.

Your boss gives you a salary because you work for him. If a friend suddenly invites you to dinner, it's probably because they need a favor. To put it pragmatically, every adult is either using someone or being used by someone, the difference being whether you have the value to be used.

Now that he possessed great value due to his bloodline, Minos could only be happy about it—at least this way, his position in the Charlotte Pirates would be guaranteed.

Anyway, Charlotte Linlin only wanted to develop his abilities, not sacrifice him directly. Therefore, Minos naturally had no psychological burden.

Bypassing Charlotte Linlin, who was currently feasting, Minos hadn't even entered the kitchen when he saw his Demon Clan friend Talon following him.

This guy was also a member tormented to death by the ship's sweets. It wasn't that the Charlotte Family's desserts weren't delicious, but no matter how delicious they were, if you ate them for every meal, three times a day, you definitely couldn't handle it.

Minos made a fried rice that could be measured in buckets, while Talon roasted dozens of pounds of sea beast meat. After they finished eating with gusto, they patted their stomachs and showed satisfied expressions.

A moment later, Talon looked at Minos and said, "Minos, have you decided which Yonko Commander's subordinate you want to join?"

Since he was already with the Charlotte Pirates, not joining was impossible. Minos didn't have any other thoughts—no moral purity. What was more important now was his own survival.

Minos picked his teeth, opened his eyes, and said, "Of course, I want to join Commander Katakuri's subordinate. After all, I am from the Three-Eyed Tribe. I believe that lord, who is famous for his Observation Haki, should be able to teach me a lot."

Another point was that Katakuri, while not a good person, was definitely not an evildoer. His moral bottom line was relatively high within the Charlotte Family. Minos felt that working under him wouldn't lead to too many troublesome things.

"Lord Katakuri..." Talon rubbed his head. "It seems we have the same idea."

Minos wasn't surprised. The current New World situation was stable. Apart from Red-Hair, who was currently considered reserve, the other three Emperors rarely had direct opportunities to act. Encountering Charlotte Linlin this time could be considered extremely lucky—under normal circumstances, this Emperor wouldn't even go out to sea once or twice a year.

At this time, the Yonko Commanders under the Emperors became sought-after figures—when the Emperors weren't acting, it was these Commanders who truly operated in the outside world, competing for territory among themselves and suppressing other Supernovas.

Therefore, whether it was combat, merit, or treatment, the subordinates of these Commanders were considered the best. It was natural for Talon to want to join.

Minos now knew Talon's identity. He belonged to an extremely rare race, the Demon Clan. Those with horns on their heads, like Kaido and Yamato, were members of the Demon Clan.

Kaido's Beasts Pirates had quite a few Demon Clan members. Of course, some just wore demon horns as decoration. Talon had initially wanted to join the Beasts Pirates.

The talent of the Demon Clan far surpassed that of normal humans. Their innate combat power was second only to the Giant Clan. Therefore, although their rarity was similar to the Longarm Tribe and Longleg Tribe, their treatment was much better than these other races. Being able to freely choose which branch of the Charlotte Pirates to join was one of these benefits.

"Really? Then it looks like we won't be separated," Minos said. Having just arrived in the Pirate World and joining the brutal Charlotte Pirates, he was still a bit lost. He was quite happy that he wouldn't be separated from his friend.

At night, Minos returned to his room on the ship and closed his eyes slightly.

A strange pattern gradually appeared in his mind. It was a golden pagoda. Minos guessed that this was the culprit that caused his transmigration.

Over the past few days, Minos's various attempts had made him understand the true use of the golden pagoda. It was a treasure specifically for trading, and its trading scope encompassed the Myriad Worlds.

Minos had seen many miscellaneous treasures here, covering all sorts of items from across the Myriad Worlds.

Including knowledge, bloodlines, items, even characters, memories, temporary character cards, and various other things.

Among these, knowledge is the easiest thing to exchange, but whether it's useful is another matter.

For example, Minos learned some unique combat techniques of the Ghost Clan from Talon and exchanged a cultivation method for the Eight Inner Gates. However, Minos didn't even have Chakra, let alone the Eight Inner Gates within his body. It would be strange if he could cultivate it.

The remaining things like Chakra refinement methods, Internal Energy, Cosmo, magic, Magnetic Field Rotation, spiritual power, and so on, are definitely impossible to learn in the Pirate World.

The second easiest thing to exchange should be memories. At least knowledge and memories don't require a second expenditure to materialize.

Yes, besides knowledge and memories, everything else exchanged here requires a second expenditure.

And this second expenditure, according to Minos's understanding, should be so-called Luck or Karma Points—in simpler terms, it's similar to the main god's space in Infinite Flow. By desperately causing trouble, one can obtain Luck and Karma Points.

...Well, there's no need to consider such problems now. After all, he's just a small fry right now and probably can't accomplish anything major.

However, Minos's mere transmigration is already a significant change to the Pirate King world. Therefore, he has already gained considerable Karma Points and can make a conversion.

It's just that he doesn't have anything truly convertible in his hands—except for his Three-Eyed bloodline.

If he were to truly exchange his Three-Eyed bloodline, he would probably be torn apart by Charlotte Linlin as soon as he stepped out. He's gotten bold enough to deceive even an Emperor!

Moreover, Tian Ping also told him that anything exchanged will automatically undergo some changes to adapt to the world's Laws.

For example, if you exchange a Saiyan, in the Pirate World, you might retain the ability to turn into a great ape when seeing the moon and possess strong physical fitness, and become stronger after recovering from near-death. However, you wouldn't be able to retain the Saiyan's unique Ki. Instead, you would have to cultivate the Haki unique to the Pirate World.

This instantly cuts the value of the Saiyan bloodline by 99%. Without the extraordinary power of Ki, even if you brought Sun Wukong here, he would probably only have the strength of a Vice Admiral.

And that's a trained Sun Wukong. A pure Saiyan bloodline has a lower immediate combat power boost, only possessing great potential.

It's like Minos, who has now exchanged the Saiyan bloodline, is probably not even a match for Talon. After all, he hasn't trained much, while Talon, as a member of the Ghost Clan, has been training since childhood.
