The Meteorite Theory, the Difference in Human Nature

A variety of sounds suddenly entered his ears.

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

"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.

Enel nodded seriously upon hearing Dongze's words.

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 overthink it."

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.

Somewhat impatient, Dongze's pupils contracted slightly, and a wave of Conqueror's Haki swept out, silencing them completely. With a touch of wicked humor, he didn't even spare the people in the room. "So useful! Conqueror's Haki, huh?"

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 the 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.

Chapter Eighty: Meteorites Only, Differences in Human Nature

The wind blew across Island 77, and the people who were unconscious gradually awoke, their eyes somewhat hazy, as if they were trying to recall how they had just fainted.

Dongze and his group had long since disappeared.

They looked around and, finding that they all looked exactly alike, frowned again.

"Honey, do you remember what just happened?"

On Island 8, Dongze and his two companions paused slightly and glanced at the restaurant not far away.

Surprisingly, Enel was not absent, and his mental state was also good; he did not exhibit the excessive output he was expected to show.

Suddenly, he had two iron rods in his hands, which bounced back and forth, with bolts of lightning occasionally shooting out from them.

Looking at Dongze beside him, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Meteorite Meteoric Iron, obtained through refining, is of excellent quality and has excellent electrical conductivity. Unlike gold, it is also extremely hard, making it a rare and valuable material for forging weapons.

Finding such a marvelous object from a pile of garbage, he couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the person before him.

After Dongze filled all the other slots in the Peerless Sword Case with sword blanks, Enel kept a few for himself. Although they were small, they were quite heavy.

However, Dongze didn't actually need as many Sword-Forging as one might imagine; he was forging Flying Sword, not heavy swords.

Therefore, when Enel used his Thunder Metallurgy ability to refine the meteorite, it didn't take too long. He hadn't even completely refined a single meteorite before he had already met Dongze's needs.

"Is this the other place?"

Enel tilted his head and asked in surprise.

"Yeah! Sometimes I really don't understand what these people are doing!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Dongze started walking, talking as he went.

"I heard before that those meteorites were kept away because they were afraid of radiation. After all, these things come from outer space, and if you're not strong enough, you can easily be corroded by the energy they contain!"

"Once this happens, the life structure of humans or other organisms will be disrupted, and in severe cases, mutations may even occur."

Enel chuckled, "Isn't mutation a good thing? Just look at those Devil Fruit User, they all changed drastically in the end! Some even transcended the human realm altogether!"

"Devil Fruit abilities are one thing, mutation is another. Devil Fruit mutations are controllable, but mutations caused by radiation are uncontrollable!"

"Like you, how would you feel if you were to transform into an elemental form for an entire day?"

Hearing Dongze's analogy, Enel couldn't help but shudder. Whether he was human or god, he wanted to enjoy life. If he had to remain in elemental form and couldn't even eat an apple, what would be the point of his life?

"Hehe~ Then please spare me!"

"But there's something that puzzles me: this rock here should also be a meteorite, and the radiation it contains isn't low, so why don't these chefs seem to mind at all?"

Enel was taken aback, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in his eyes.

Then his Observation Haki was released.

Before long, he was also completely bewildered. In the kitchen of a Bink's Restaurant not far away, a huge stone was emitting an eerie light at the bottom of a transparent pool.

It was exactly the same as what he had experienced at the meteorite mountain before. Just as Dongze said, this rock was indeed a meteorite.

Furthermore, it emits considerable radiation, yet these people remain oblivious and indifferent.

"Boss, what's going on? Have these people lost their minds?"

"I don't know, we'll go ask in a bit!"

"Someone who can open a restaurant here probably isn't a good person, right?"

"Of course, good people can't survive here!"

"Hey! Young man, what would you like to eat? How about a fish? Our fish are all live and freshly killed!"

Dongze narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"Alright, since the clerk puts it that way, we have to try it. But we have to choose the fish ourselves!"

Upon hearing Dongze's words, the waiter's eyes lit up.

Those who can open a shop here are no pushovers. They'd charge you millions of Beli for a single fish, and they'd make you leave.

Given Dongze's somewhat youthful appearance, isn't he just a perfect easy target?

He felt he'd be doing himself a disservice if he didn't fleece her ruthlessly. And then there was Robin, a real beauty. If Dongze couldn't pay, their shop had a history of using her to settle debts.

As for Enel, he subconsciously ignored him. What threat could a little kid eating an apple pose?

He secretly swallowed and then scurried off to lead the way.

However, this place is the most chaotic area in Sabaody. You can imagine what kind of people eat here.

The waiter didn't recognize Dongze at first, but someone else did. Seeing the three people walk into the kitchen, the pirates abandoned their Beli and fled silently, without even bothering to haggle.

The shop owner was completely bewildered; these people weren't usually so easy to talk to. Just then, the shop owner suddenly grabbed a man who was about to run away.

"Hey bro, what's going on here? Tell me, and I'll waive your bill for this meal!!"

The somewhat thin man hesitated for a moment, then whispered in the shopkeeper's ear, "You might not have recognized that guy just now, brother. Let me give you a hint: the newly appointed Shichibukai, the Pirate Hunter Dongze!"

"They've always left no trace of life for pirates; they're really not to be trifled with!"

"Brother, we all know what your shop is like. It's not exactly legitimate, and there are often cases of shady dealings. We're all used to it. After all, when you're out and about, it's best not to meddle in other people's business!"

"And that waiter from before, was he trying to rip us off? This guy's no pushover. If you run into him, you'll at least get a bloody head. And if you make him unhappy, your restaurant might be completely empty!"

"I won't say anything more, thank you for the meal!"

Watching the pirates disappear in a flash, a look of fear suddenly rose in the shop owner's eyes, and he scrambled from the counter to the kitchen.

At the same time, he was praying in his heart that the young man from before hadn't gone too far. He himself had been itching to get close to that beautiful woman, so didn't he know what kind of person that young man was? If that were the case, his restaurant might be in jeopardy.

However, when he arrived at the kitchen, he was taken aback. The thing he had imagined did not happen. The young man from before was talking at length about the stone in the pool.
