"Everyone, please disembark, we may have to rest on the Chambord Islands for a long time."

Luo Jie actually didn't know how far ahead of the main storyline he was, but according to the tight timeline of "One Piece", it should not have been more than a month before the event of "11 supernovas gathered in the Shampoo Islands" occurred.

Anyway, the "Champaign Islands" are a famous gold-selling cave on the sea. There are all kinds of commercial facilities on the island, and there is even the largest amusement park in the world. As long as you have money, you can have it 365 days a year.

There is nothing to play with, just stay and wait.

Exploring the details of the fantasy world is also part of the fun for players.

For example, the ship custody service at the "Champaign Islands" dock was never mentioned in the original work.

Here, as long as you pay a certain storage fee, there will be a dedicated person responsible for the safety of the ship. Whether it is fire, theft, or other man-made damage, the terminal will compensate ten times the loss.

Even if it is a pirate ship on a wanted warrant, as long as the storage fee has been paid, the navy has no right to seize it in the dock.

After paying a shipkeeping fee of 1 million beli, Luo Jie led a group of crew members to board this island, which is full of special significance to pirates.

Although most of the people on the "Northern Ming Yuyu" came to the "Shampoo Islands" for the first time, pirates like "Oiran Akane" and "Little Fox Karina" became monks on the way.

, cannot understand the significance of this island at all, and just regard it as an ordinary lively island.

On the contrary, "Iron Rod Arrita", who was born as a pure pirate, looked extremely excited, carrying her iconic seastone mace and looking around like a country bumpkin entering the city to see the world.

"Boss, where are we going now?"

"Let's find a place to stay on the hotel street in the 70-79 area first..." As soon as Luo Jie said this, he received a few confused looks. He could only explain from the beginning: "Because the Shampoo Islands are composed of 79 trees.

It is composed of mangroves. In order to prevent foreign tourists from getting lost, the residents of the island have numbered each tree, and each number corresponds to an area."

While talking, the group passed by a local product store, and the owner of the store enthusiastically introduced the unique local "bubble car" car rental service.

"Bubble car" is a human-powered vehicle that utilizes the levitation ability of the bubbles generated by the Yarchman mangrove resin and is propelled by a pedal propeller. It is similar to a bicycle floating in the air. It is not only fast, but also lightweight and labor-saving.

The main means of transportation between the Shampoo Islands.

Luo Jie and his party, a total of ten people, directly rented two medium-sized bubble cars that can accommodate five people. They were driven by Luo Jie and "Iron Rod Alita" and flew freely in mid-air along the signboards on the island.

.

Naturally generated gum bubbles rise one after another from the exposed aerial roots on the surface, reflecting colorful light in the sun, rising into the sky like large and small balloons, forming a unique dreamy scene of the Shampoo Islands.

"Remember, areas 60 to 69 are the naval garrison. Although there are no powerful people stationed there, the naval headquarters is near the Chambord Islands. If something goes wrong, reinforcements will arrive soon, so you must not go there."

"No. 1 to 29 are lawless zones. Although it is a paradise for pirates, there are also many bounty hunters who make a living by hunting pirates. If you go to this area, you must go together with at least three people."

Having said this, Luo Jie suddenly paused and his eyes fell on a group of people connected by chains on the roadside.

These people were men and women, old and young, and there was even a pirate captain with a bounty of over ten million. But at this moment, he looked frightened and desperate, and was being driven forward by several guards with whips.

"Who are those people? Criminals?" "Little Fox Karina" cast a curious look at the group of people.

"Those are slaves."

"Boya Hancock" rarely responded to her words, and an undetectable cold murderous intent flashed across her eyes.

Luo Jie realized that these slaves touched upon the unbearable and tragic memory of "Boya Hancock". To prevent her from becoming emotionally unstable, he immediately took up the topic and said: "In the Shampoo Islands, human trafficking is legal.

, so there are also many gangs of slave traders here, and beautiful girls like you are often their first choice."

Perhaps because she has never encountered any danger following Luo Jie, "Little Fox Karina" didn't feel any sense of danger at all. Instead, she asked with a smile: "Then how much am I worth?"

"You are worthless." "Boya Marigold" interjected: "The value of slaves is generally divided according to race. Among them, humans are the least valuable, with a market price of about 500,000 beli; small humans, fur races, long

Minority races such as the Hand Clan, the Long-Legged Clan, and the Snake Head Clan have a market price of about 700,000; the fish-men have ten times the wrist strength of humans and are excellent coolie slaves, with a market price of up to 1 million; the Giants are known as the strongest race

50 million men, 10 million women..."

"The most expensive ones are the mermaid women. Even those over 30 years old, whose fish tails can turn into legs, can still be sold for 10 million. If they are young female mermaids, the price is even higher. The starting price

It’s 70 million. If you have outstanding looks, it’s not uncommon to get hundreds of millions of dollars in photos.”

"Am I only worth 500,000?" "Little Fox Karina" looked unconvinced. It was difficult for her to accept the fact that she was not as valuable as her own wardrobe of clothes.

"No, you are very valuable." Luo Jie took up the topic again and said: "Actually, there is another option in the slave auction, which is "Devil Fruit users". The price varies from person to person, but it is definitely above 100 million Bailey.

So you who are the weakest are the most dangerous."

"Little Fox Karina" shrank her neck, subconsciously grabbed "Red Silk"'s arm and hid behind her.

In the original work, in addition to "the gathering of 11 supernovas" in the "Champaign Islands", the most important event is "the Straw Hats beat the Celestial Dragons", and the reason is to rescue the mermaid girl "Kemi" who was captured as a slave.

Luo Jie was not too worried that the traffickers would target his crew. After all, the amount of the bounty was not just for good looks.

If pirates would take risks to challenge powerful enemies with higher bounties in order to become famous, dirty rats like human traffickers who only pursue money would not dare to risk being counterattacked and challenge those with bounties of over 100 million.

A big pirate.

In the original work, the mermaid girl "Kemi" was kidnapped under the nose of "Luffy" simply because she was not on the crew list of the "Straw Hat Pirates". If those traffickers had known about "Kemi" and the supernova "Straw Hat" early on

"Boy Luffy" came in the same boat. Even if I borrowed some of their courage, I would never dare to have such greed.

Of course, we still need to be reminded that nothing is difficult in the world except for newcomers, and no one can guarantee whether there will be a newbie among the traffickers.

In terms of money alone, Luo Jie cannot be said to be comparable to the top pirates like the "Yonko" who have been in business for many years, but among the new pirates who started at the same time, they are definitely the richest group.

Anyway, he wouldn't stay on the island for too long, so Luo Jie simply spent 100 million beli and directly booked a hotel with quite good facilities, just to have some peace and quiet.

Spending a lot of money like this may cause quite a stir on other islands, but in the "Champaign Islands", the terminus of the first half of the great route, where all pirates gather, it can only be regarded as normal consumption, and there is no such thing.

The waves can't even hit it.

That is to say, Luo Jie's pirate group is relatively small, with only ten people and one dog. If it were a large pirate group with thousands of people, the daily consumption of just eating, drinking and sleeping would be an astronomical figure.

Ignoring those unsafe factors, life in the Chambord Islands is undoubtedly rich and colorful, which is in sharp contrast to the boring wandering at sea. The comfort and prosperity make people indulge in it unconsciously.

After a few days, even the arrogant empress "Boya Hancock" and the highly self-disciplined female secretary "Kalifa" were affected and began to try shopping and playing around the island with others.

The hotel receives several large and small parcels delivered by bubble car every day, and has to set aside two empty rooms to hold these items.

After all, Luo Jie is a male and has a physiological immunity to entertainment and shopping. He has only tried a few novel gadgets. He only played with "Boya Hancock" and others for two days before turning his attention back to [

Shadow Fruit] above.

As the iconic ability system in the world of "One Piece", "Devil Fruit" actually has more potential to be tapped than "Haki".

Don’t look at the fact that in the later period of the original work, it almost became “Ba Qi” that overthrows everything, but “Ba Qi” itself is just an extension of the concept of “internal force” in the martial arts world, and it also castrates the self-healing and healing functions of “inner force”.

In addition to being able to attack "elemental" targets, "Haki" can be placed in other fantasy worlds, that is, it is a hard Qigong + position identification by hearing sounds + lion's roar, and it is easy to find a replacement skill.

But the essence of the ability of "Devil Fruit" is rules. This is the highest ability judgment in the illusion system, and there is no one.

"Devil Fruits" are suppressed by "Haki" in the world of "One Piece", but in other worlds, the universal applicability of "Devil Fruits" will definitely surpass the powerful "Haki" Hachijo Street.

Luo Jie had never obtained a "Devil Fruit" in his previous life, but he had heard some tips on developing "Devil Fruits".

In a simple sentence, just master a skill to the extreme, and then you will witness a miracle.

To be honest, if you only look at the actual combat power, the strongest killing move of [Shadow Fruit] at present is undoubtedly "Shadow Gathering Ground".

Swallowing a person's shadow can gain a person's power. Not to mention directly swallowing 1,000 shadows like "Moonlight Moria", just swallowing the shadows of a few strong people can theoretically increase his physical value.

Increased several times.

But if you were just obsessed with stacking attack power, then why did you choose [Shadow Fruit] in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to just grab the [Strength Fruit]?

Before he could fully grasp the characteristics of [Shadow Fruit], Luo Jie was most optimistic about the "Shadow Mage" skill developed by "Moonlight Moria".

Although the original purpose of developing this skill was just to stay behind and let your shadow clone fight for you, on the basis of this seemingly ordinary skill, two magical skills were born.

"Shadow Double" and "Shadow Revolution".

"Shadow Stand" seems to be a simple instant exchange of positions between the main body and "Shadow Mage", but in the fantasy world, any skill involving space rules is unusual in itself.

This move itself is also quite practical. For details, please refer to the "Substitute Technique" in "Naruto", which is known as the "Three Body Techniques" necessary for ninjas.

"Shadow Revolution" is an auxiliary skill with unlimited potential, and its use is not limited to vulgar ways of enlarging the body or a certain part of the body.

In the "All Nations Chapter" in the original work, the protagonist "Luffy" once encountered a powerful enemy with very similar abilities to him - the leader of the three generals of the Big Mom Pirates and the second son of "Charlotte Lingling", [Nuo]

Glutinous Fruit] Power user, "Charlotte Katakuri".

In order to make it easy to remember, I will omit a few words, and will be referred to as "Ka Er" in the following.

[Nuo Nuo Fruit] can produce soft glutinous rice balls, and can also make the body soft as well.

This was originally an extremely useless ability, but with the powerful "Domineering" cultivation of "Ka Er", it was developed into a demigod-level ability that combines the advantages of both superhuman and natural systems.

His development concept is also very simple. Use "Armed Color Haki" to increase the strength of the glutinous rice balls, make up for its disadvantages, and give full play to its plasticity to produce a large-scale attack method similar to [Rubber Fruit], and even easily create

A group attack effect similar to "three heads and six arms".

He then used his precognition ability, which can be called the strongest "Historical Haki" in the original work, to predict the opponent's attack position, change his body shape in advance, and forcibly create an invincible effect that is almost natural-based "elementary".

From a certain perspective, the abilities of [Shadow Fruit] and [Nuo Nuo Fruit] overlap to a certain extent. They are both extremely malleable and can also change their body shape through skills such as "Shadow Revolution".

But Luo Jie doesn't have the talent of "Ka Er" who can cultivate his "knowledge and color domineering" to the state of predicting the future, so it is impossible for him to become the second "Ka Er".

What he planned for himself was a development route that was completely different from "Moonlight Moria" and "Ka Er" - a route to develop "Shadow Mage" to the extreme.

He now uses "Shadow Mage" to control his body's actions through his shadow, which is equivalent to canceling out the skill of "Shadow Mage", but he has seen "Moonlight Moria" summon four "Shadow Mage" at the same time to fight.

, so before further developing his skills, he must increase the number of summons of "Shadow Mage".

Perhaps it was because his compatibility with the [Shadow Fruit] was high enough and he was gifted with the skill "Shadow Mage", so Luo Jie easily summoned the second "Shadow Mage".
To be continued...
