This Ship is Unreasonably Handsome

Knockoff Bar, front desk.

Shakky set down the glass she was polishing. "Devil Fruit? Zoan or Paramecia?"

"Either works. A Logia Type would be even better."

Shakky lit a lady's cigarette.

"You think everyone's as lucky as you? There's hardly any Logia Type Devil Fruits traded these years. Island 1 has an auction house—you can check it out."

"Don't forget, the deal's tonight."

"Relax, I won't."

During his two years of training on Sky Island, Seven's only way to earn points was consigning Sky Island Shells, but before that, he'd directly sold a Monkey Fruit to the system.

In short.

To rack up points fast, he could consign Devil Fruits on the Trading Platform or sell them directly to the system.

Beyond Devil Fruits and Sky Island Shells, the Pirate World's specialty items included various famous swords, Treasure Tree Adam, Sea Prism Stone...

Den Den Mushi counted too.

But the Trading Platform couldn't handle living creatures.

Captain Roger's paired saber Ace, one of the Supreme Grade Swords, was buried by Seven in Old Man Garp's backyard.

The Sword Shusui was in Moria's hands.

Of these, Ace's direct-sale price to the system was 10,000 points, and Shusui's was 5,000.

Selling them felt a bit like a loss.

Supreme Grade Sword Ace didn't matter much—Captain Roger's grave grass was nearly two zhang tall by now.

With Seven's wild moves before, sending Captain Roger's wife to Old Man Garp's place ahead of time, little Ace was just over a year old now.

This time around, Old Man Garp might actually see his wish come true: his grandson becoming a Marine Admiral.

That way.

Captain Roger's paired saber Ace wouldn't be needed by little Ace, so it might as well become Seven's boost to reach the world's strongest.

He'd swing by Foosha Village when he had time, retrieve the paired saber Ace, and list it on the Trading Platform for 20,000 points.

Who knew, maybe Warhammer Bro would bite?

Shusui's value wasn't as high as Ace's, but used in the right place, the returns could far exceed 5,000 points.

The Sword Shusui was a national treasure of Wano Country.

Imagine this.

When Seven defeated Kaido and lopped off Kurozumi Orochi's head with the Sword Shusui, that kind of face-saving move would surely cut down the obstacles to Seven becoming the shogun of Wano.

To make it happen, he first needed to take the Sword Shusui back from Moria.

As the future General of Thunder of Wano, Seven naturally held sovereignty over all its assets.

Including Momonosuke... and his mom.

As for another specialty item, Treasure Tree Adam.

If he could get Treasure Tree Adam timber, as the captain of the Morning Star Pirates, Seven would prioritize building a pirate ship—unless he could get one from another source.

"Hm?" Seven's eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the Trading Platform to filter the listings.

[Senzu Bean: 1,000 points. Instantly restores stamina and internal/external injuries upon consumption; ineffective against disease. Seller's note: One Senzu Bean down the hatch, my fate's my own—bulk supply, well-stocked, buy now while supplies last]

A scene instantly flashed before Seven's eyes—

Some fat guy clutching a jar, grabbing Senzu Beans by the handful and munching them like fava beans.

"That Dragon Ball guy's about to strike it rich!"

"Man, I'm jealous."

Even with only 1,688 points in his account, Seven still bought one Senzu Bean. This thing could save his life in a pinch and let him stretch one life into several.

Too bad he had so few points; otherwise, he'd snap up every last Senzu Bean, leaving none behind.

From now on, when he was exhausted from fighting an enemy, he'd pop a Senzu Bean and be back at full health and stamina. Even if it couldn't turn the tide, it'd be a deterrent.

Come on, this old man can't be killed...

Browsing a bit longer, Seven actually found a few ships, like the Queen Anne's Revenge, the Flying Dutchman, and so on.

But for a guy 2.6 meters tall who'd definitely break 3 meters later, these ships were too small.

Especially since Seven planned to invite Bartholomew Kuma, who stood 6.89 meters, aboard.

Ships built for normal human sizes didn't match the crew's height. He couldn't have his crew sleeping on the deck, could he?

That'd breed resentment.

The only ship that fit came from the system's direct shop.

[East Blue Emperor: 10,000 points]

[A large ship crafted from Adam Tree, dual-driven by sail and electricity. The dragon head can fire a Super Electric Cannon. Sleep quality +50%, Recovery +50%.]

[Repair cost: 100 points per use.]

Heart racing, hands trembling.

Seven's first impression was: Red Sail Rolling Waves, Dragon Head Breaking Sea—this ship was unfairly cool.

The hull was dominated by Flame Red, accented with Black Gold outlining the Dragon-shaped Bow, Crimson Sail, and Flame Flag. How could it not be stunning?

After all, who could resist a Black Dragon?

The most absurd part was: the ship's Wind-Electric Dual Drive felt tailor-made for Seven.

"Feels like the system set me up."

Seven found no reason to refuse. The ship itself matched his taste, with a Three-story Western-style Building onboard, a Large Villa at the stern, and a Sea-viewing Platform.

The dragon head at the bow could even fire an electric cannon!

On top of that, there were two Group Auras: sleep quality +50% and recovery +50%.

If he normally needed eight hours of sleep, lying on the ship halved the sleep quality and recovery time, freeing up hours for things he loved to do.

Seven's Big Eater and Iron Balloon already gave him insane recovery, and now the ship added another half.

If he bandaged a wound too slowly in the future, it might already heal on its own.

It was practically a must-have for home travel, robbery, and pillaging.

Plus, the system could handle repairs. Even if 100 points per repair was a bit steep, it was still better than—those shady merchants with no after-sales service.

The only thing Seven couldn't accept was the price.

It wasn't about whether it was worth it or cost-effective; it was mainly because he was too broke.

"Ten thousand points could buy ten Senzu Beans."

Seven rubbed his fingers. Ten Senzu Beans meant ten extra lives. Trading ten lives for one ship—no matter how he calculated it, it was a ridiculous loss.

That was ten lives, after all.

But then again, without a decent ship, what kind of pirate was he?

Might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Especially when the East Blue Emperor was this cool, this powerful, this thrilling, and impossible to refuse.

Two and a half seconds later, Seven made a decision against his conscience: tonight, he'd exchange the gold for Beli, and tomorrow, he'd head straight to Foosha Village.

"Captain, you won't blame me, right?"

"Treasure Sword Matches Hero—Ace, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Great Swords, won't lose its fame even in the hands of another world's user."

Especially a tough guy like Warhammer Bro.

Even Iron Dummy from the Teyvat Continent, who managed to marry Raiden Makoto, definitely wasn't weak.

"Captain, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

After several deep breaths, Seven finally calmed the fire in his heart. Even though the system had set him up, he chose to walk into the trap willingly.

No way around it—he really couldn't refuse.
