Chapter 79: Conjoined Monkeys? / Chapter 79

"Young man, since you were brought here by my old man, I'll give you a discount on the intelligence. How about I charge you ten million Beli for each type of material?"

Upon hearing Shakky's words, Dongze frowned, then nodded.

At their Nice to Meet You, they were still strangers, and he didn't expect the other party to provide him with information for free.

However, for me at this moment, this is for the best. If the other party provided me with information for free, I might end up owing them a favor, which would be troublesome to repay later.

Just like Rayleigh's trip this time, Dongze is sure that he initially went there to repay the life-saving debt to Octopus Hachi, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

Shakky was unaware of Dongze's combat strength and didn't consider that aspect, directly asking for an exorbitant price.

However, this time Dongze didn't say anything back and just nodded, which made Rayleigh, who was frequently giving Shakky meaningful glances, scratch his head awkwardly.

Shakky was also puzzled. When had Rayleigh ever given her such a hint? She thought he was telling her to ask for less! She had already planned to lower her price in Beli if Dongze tried to bargain, but Dongze didn't even try to bargain and just nodded, which left her completely confused.

"I need a piece of material with cold properties, preferably weighing around ten pounds!"

We also need a fire-attribute Outer-Space Meteorite!

"And Meteoric Iron!"

Dongze presented a series of materials, and after listening to them, Shakky hesitated for a moment before returning to her inner room to search for the information.

After a while, Shakky came out of the inner room and placed three slips of paper in front of Dongze.

"Hey bro, here's the information you wanted. Cheng Hui, Three Thousand Beli!"

Dongze opened the note and checked it. After confirming that it was correct, he gave Enel a wink. Enel immediately understood and transformed into a bolt of lightning, returning to the ship.

They had brought a lot of gold with them before even leaving the Sky Island, and with the pirates they robbed along the way, they were certainly not short of money.

To be honest, Dongze was quite surprised when he saw the information in his hand. Logically speaking, there should be quite a few Sword-Forging materials like this in this world. After all, someone with Fujitora's strength can use his Devil Fruit ability to pull meteorites down from outer space. Meteorites and Meteoric Iron should be extremely abundant, if not common.

However, these things have only appeared near the Garbage Mountain on Island 77. As for the cold-attribute materials, it's even more outrageous. In a restaurant on Island 17, there's a piece that the chefs have been using as a natural refrigerator, which is a waste of a gem.

When Enel returned, Dongze paid the Three Thousand Beli, then bid farewell to Rayleigh and began his journey of Sword-Forging.

Watching the group leave, Rayleigh sighed softly.

"Shakky, you've really lost big on this deal!"

"You old devil, what were you thinking just now? You almost let Dongze figure you out!"

"Tch! He figured it out a long time ago, he just didn't say anything!"

"What... what exactly is going on?"

"Hey! Actually, we just had a little Sparring, and guess what happened?"

At this point, Rayleigh seemed to have swallowed a bottle of mixed emotions, his heart filled with a truly complex mix of feelings.

"What, is that kid really talented? Is he worth investing in?"

Since starting her business, Shakky has always acted like a businessman, and every word she utters revolves around returns.

Rayleigh naturally recognized Shakky's appearance, but she simply shook her head.

"It's not that I have great talent, it's that I have great strength. I lost the previous Sparring!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No! That kid is the one I told you about before. Who would have thought he'd be so young? His true combat strength is probably even above that of Admiral!"

Did I oversell my intelligence?

"Damn it! Why didn't you say so earlier? I only paid Three Thousand Beli for a favor done by an Admiral!!"

"You're not allowed in bed tonight!!"

Chapter Seventy-Nine: Conjoined Monkeys?

Island 77 is dotted with all sorts of hotels.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, moving about in a hurried manner.

There were men and women, mostly traveling in groups, and they couldn't help but look at Enel, Dongze, and Robin with surprise when they saw them coming together.

Dongze frowned, Observation Haki activated instantly.

Activate the ability to Voice of All Things.

A variety of sounds suddenly entered his ears.

"These young people really know how to have fun!"

"This woman is so bold! Threesome! I've never tried that before!"

"These two are really bold, walking around on the street like that, aren't they afraid of being gossiped about!"

"Sigh~ When will I get to experience the taste of three? I'm so envious!"

"That woman must be blind! One looks weird, the other is just average-looking, neither of them are as handsome as me! I'm so angry!"

"Perhaps after they've finished playing, I can have a taste myself!"

"Slurp!"

A moment later, Dongze quickly turned off his ability to Voice of All Things.

He now understands why all the men and women on the street are in pairs.

People usually come here to relax.

The three of them had come together, so naturally they didn't think the best of it. However, when they learned that this place was actually that kind of place, Dongze suddenly felt a strange sensation. Looking at the hotels on both sides of the street, he wondered if he should use his Observation Haki to see what the people in the rooms were doing.

Robin and Enel were completely baffled by the whispers and pointing fingers.

Enel, who had mastered Observation Haki, hesitated for a moment before releasing his Observation Haki and spreading it outwards.

"Conjoined monkeys??"

Upon hearing Enel's words, Dongze's legs went weak, and he almost stepped into a stinking ditch.

He was mentally prepared for Enel, but he didn't expect that Enel would still break his defenses in the end.

Siamese twins, it's amazing he dared to say that.

"I've taken your Mantra, aren't you annoyed by how it's hurtful?"

Enel nodded seriously upon hearing Dongze's words.

"It's truly an eyesore. I never expected to see such a species here! Those conjoined creatures with fish heads and monkey heads make even me want to vomit."

Hearing Enel's words, Robin's eyes darted around as she tried to guess what Enel and Dongze were talking about. What was with all this talk about fish heads and monkey heads? Did such rare species exist on this island?

Seeing Robin's reaction, Dongze patted her head and said, "Don't think nonsense. These are all inappropriate scenes for children. You know Enel's tendency to talk nonsense!"

Hearing Dongze's words, Robin suddenly had a thought. She knew that Enel usually referred to outsiders as "monkey," so the monkey-headed one must have been referring to humans, and the fish-headed one to Fish-Man? And the conjoined monkeys... well, that meant...

Just as she finished speaking, Robin suddenly stopped in her tracks and hid behind Dongze, her pretty face turning into a monkey's bottom.

At that moment, she realized exactly where she was.

And what about those surprised looks and scrutinizing glances from those people earlier?

As they ventured deeper into the area, more and more people came to watch them, since Robin was now quite a beauty.

Dongze, somewhat impatient, narrowed his eyes slightly and unleashed a wave of Conqueror's Haki that silenced them completely. He even went so far as to grope the people in the room, his morbid curiosity unchecked. Whether they could raise their guns afterward was none of his concern; he was just being disgusting.

"This is so useful! Is it Conqueror's Haki?"

Looking at the rows of people lying around him, Enel couldn't help but curl his lip.

In the past, he might not have known what was going on; a single glare from him could intimidate a whole group of people, as if they had seen a ghost.

However, as he experienced more things with Dongze, he became quite accustomed to Conqueror's Haki.

He was extremely envious of this Haki. He called himself a god, and wasn't this kind of method a standard feature of gods?

Unfortunately, Dongze told him that the probability of him Awakening Conqueror's Haki was close to zero.

As for the reason, Dongze also explained that there is a high probability that Conqueror's Haki will Awakening when a person is emotionally agitated.

He almost turned himself into an idiot back then, and he didn't even seem to react, so the chances of him Awakening in the future are really...

Let's go!

Without the onlookers, the group moved much faster, arriving at their destination in less than fifteen minutes.

Following the clues given by Shakky, Dongze led Robin and Enel around the east side of the Garbage Mountain, and then headed east along an inconspicuous path.

Turning left at the end of the road, Dongze was taken aback after taking only two or three steps.

His lips twitched twice randomly.

The scene before him stunned him.

A huge number of meteorite fragments were piled up here like garbage.

Perhaps because this thing carries radiation from outer space, nothing grows around it, and it stands there all alone.

It's very eye-catching.

"Boss, are you sure this is what we're looking for?"

Enel was completely bewildered by the sheer number of meteorites.

He had assumed those materials were incredibly precious because Dongze had spoken so formally before!

In the end, it piled up into a small mountain and was placed alongside other garbage.

Dongze said uncertainly, "I think so!"

Although he guessed the world didn't lack these things, this was still going too far.

He really wanted to ask those master Sword-Forging, "What materials did you use to forge those Famous Swords?"

Are they all made of Seastone?

He then unleashed his Observation Haki and began to examine the area closely.

But soon his face was filled with surprise. Good heavens, they were all genuine meteorites.

It's such a waste that people pile it up here like garbage.

The materials that Monkey D. Dragon had given him before paled in comparison to this mountain of meteorites.

"How extravagant!"

"Boss, are you sure you want to use this thing to Sword-Forging??"

"Enel, use your electric shock!"

Enel was stunned. Looking at the small hill in front of him, his legs went weak. When he first arrived, he tested the conductivity of these things.

The current was clearly blocked, indicating that this thing had extremely poor conductivity, and even using his abilities to perform Thunder Metallurgy would be extremely difficult.

This is no easy task. There's such a small mountain of material. By the time he extracts the materials from it, he'll probably be completely exhausted!

He's not a dog, but Dongze is truly a scoundrel.

Even though I'm his subordinate, I can't do this.
