Stop Being Unreasonable!

Su Yu looked at the Devil Fruits stuffed into the burlap sack. For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that these things were sold wholesale by the pound...

Seeing Su Yu staring blankly at the Devil Fruits, Sabo thought he wanted nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army. Growing anxious, he hurried to explain:

"Mr. Su Yu, although the World Government does everything it can to smear the Revolutionary Army and brand us criminals, flooding the news with supposed scandals and crimes, it's all a distortion of the facts. They pin crimes we never committed on us, and some of them were actually committed by the World Government's own lapdogs, CP0! Mr. Su Yu, we..."

Su Yu raised a hand and pressed it down slightly in the air, signaling Sabo to stop. "You don't need to tell me any of that. I'm just a bar owner. I can't concern myself with all those things. I only want to confirm one thing: Dragon's wish is to obtain a Cloth, correct?"

Actually, when Su Yu read the manga, he'd already been thoroughly disgusted with the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. The Celestial Dragons were practically the embodiment of every evil in the world. There was nothing they wouldn't do, only things you hadn't thought of yet! Those pigs had sickened him plenty when he was reading!

Still, this was the One Piece World's own business, and he couldn't interfere too much. Otherwise, on his very first day here, he would have flown straight to the Holy Land Mary Geoise and delivered a few mushroom clouds to the Celestial Dragons!

No, giving them a few mushroom clouds would have been letting them off too easily. They wouldn't feel any pain at all. He ought to arrange something like the ten great tortures of the Ming and Qing dynasties and let them enjoy those properly.

As for giving a Cloth, something that didn't belong to this world, to someone from this world, did that count as directly changing the course of its history? Of course not! If Su Yu simply gave one away, then yes, that would change the world's course. But his method involved making and granting wishes, which established a causal connection between him and this world. Once someone from the One Piece World paid the price, Su Yu could give them assistance of equal value. The world's rules recognized that.

Hearing Su Yu's answer, Sabo felt somewhat reluctant to give up. Besides obtaining a Cloth, he'd actually come hoping to try recruiting Su Yu into the Revolutionary Army. After all, an ability like Su Yu's held strategic significance for them. Seven Devil Fruits for a single suit of armor was still far too expensive, and they couldn't possibly buy them in bulk. But if Su Yu joined the Revolutionary Army, wouldn't they be able to use his services for free?

Yet what Su Yu had just said sounded like a declaration of his position: he was merely an outsider, and even if the Revolutionary Army and the World Government beat each other's brains out, they shouldn't bother him. Ah, sometimes things were just that frustrating. It was over before it had even begun...

Still, Sabo was the Revolutionary Army's second-in-command, and he quickly adjusted his mindset. He also stopped Koala from speaking up to make another attempt before telling Su Yu, "Yes. Our leader's wish is to obtain a Cloth."

They didn't know why Su Yu insisted on emphasizing the concept of a wish, but since they were the ones asking him for help, they were happy to indulge that little fixation.

Su Yu spoke calmly, putting on an impressively pretentious air. "That wish is easily granted!"

He'd actually learned that line from another manga, and the one who said it could more or less be considered his colleague... Back when he read Dragon Ball, he'd thought the dragon summoned by gathering all seven Dragon Balls was absolutely brimming with swagger. No matter the wish, it always answered, "That wish is easily granted~" It was practically a master of showing off. But now that Su Yu was doing the dragon's job, he found that saying it felt surprisingly satisfying and made him seem rather impressive...

Once he finished showing off, Su Yu repeated the same procedure. He raised his hand, rays of light appeared out of thin air and traced a cube, and finally, a bronze chest landed on the floor with a thud.

It was Sabo and his companions' first time seeing such a magical sight, and they studied the chest curiously. It looked like an ordinary bronze chest, with patterns on every side. One face bore the carving of a mystical dragon's head, its whiskers seeming to dance in the air.

Rayleigh, who had stayed silent at the side to make himself less noticeable, also had a strange gleam in his eyes. Before learning Su Yu's identity, he'd thought little of this scene. It might simply have been the power of some miraculous Devil Fruit. But now he knew Su Yu's true identity. He was a god! Didn't that mean he had just created something out of nothing?

Sabo and his companions curiously ran their hands over the chest. Having achieved their goal, they said goodbye to Su Yu and left. To avoid attracting attention, they took out another burlap sack, put the Cloth chest inside, and carried it away just like that.

Rayleigh left with them too. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to resist spending again...

As they walked away, Koala couldn't help asking, "Sabo, why wouldn't you let me speak earlier? If I'd tried a little harder, maybe that owner would've agreed!"

Sabo smiled helplessly. "Mr. Su Yu had already made his wishes clear. Trying to persuade him further wouldn't have helped. It would've just annoyed him."

Koala knew Sabo had a point, but she couldn't quite let it go. She was a little irritated, and since she was irritated, she naturally needed to let off some steam!

"Are you saying I'm annoying?!"

"When did I say that? Could you stop being unreasonable?!"

"Oh, so you're already losing patience with me!"

"When did I do that?!"

"You're actually yelling at me!"

"I'm not yelling at you! I... wait, don't pinch me! Don't bite!..."

"..."

Hack walked beside them, looking straight ahead as though he couldn't hear the two bickering.

Ah, to be young~

After Sabo and his companions left, more customers came to the Wish-Granting Bar. This time, however, they were unwelcome guests!

There were three of them. The man in front had blond hair and orange sunglasses, and wore a pink feather coat with cropped trousers. Looking like a flamingo, he swaggered ahead of the others.

Two men followed him. One stood around five meters tall, wore a ragged-brimmed hat, and had two markings on his face. With his red cape, he was dressed like a member of an indigenous tribe. The other was slightly shorter, wore a helmet with a cross-shaped face guard, and had a vicious expression. He was clad in an embarrassing suit of samurai armor.

These three were none other than Doflamingo, the Heavenly Yaksha of the Shichibukai, and his two subordinates-Pica and Diamante!

The three marched menacingly up to the Wish-Granting Bar and pushed the door open.

The moment they entered, the somewhat noisy bar fell silent.

"One... one of the Shichibukai! The Heavenly Yaksha, Do... Doflamingo!"

As pirates, they were naturally very familiar with what the Shichibukai looked like, and Doflamingo himself was particularly distinctive. So the moment he entered, they recognized him, and his presence instantly cowed them.

After all, this was the infamously fearsome Heavenly Yaksha of the Shichibukai!
