Moreover, Wood also saw later that Nine-headed Dragon's magic resistance bonus actually has a side effect.
That is, after acquiring this ability, even though the demon is rising, it will be as "brittle" as a nine-headed dragon.
In other words, the body's resistance to elements has increased, but the physical defense will be reduced to a certain extent.
If the Hydra's ability that appears in the second reward is its outrageous "regeneration" ability, then Wood will probably give up magic and choose the second reward.
But since it has magic resistance with side effects, Wood has nothing to hesitate about.
After confirming the selection of the third reward, two rays of light suddenly flew out of the system interface in front of Wood and fell directly into the two long knives placed by Wood on the bedside.
When Wood picked up the Tianku and unsheathed the sword, he could clearly feel the extremely active elemental atmosphere in the air.
And because of the superposition of attributes, the current "Tianku" and "Morning Dew" can not only be used as magic wands, but also become harder and sharper!
Tianku originally only belonged to the "Good and Quick Sword with 51 Skills", but now Wood feels that this sword should be comparable to the "Great Quick Sword with 21 Skills" in all aspects.
As for the "Chaolu", which is originally a sharp sword, although it is not yet up to the so-called "supreme sharp sword", it should not be far behind. At least it is a little bit better than ordinary sharp swords.
At this moment, above the Dark Pill, looking at the captain's room where there had been no movement for nearly a month, Robin was in a daze with a sad face.
When preparing for the "Life Simulation of All Worlds", Wood had given instructions that he wanted to stay in his room to practice and no one was allowed to disturb him, otherwise he would be expelled from the pirate group.
Faced with such a severe punishment, no one on the ship dared to disturb Wood's "cultivation".
At first, Robin and Russ thought that their captain was stimulated by the battle between the red-haired Shanks and the golden lion Shiki, so they planned to work hard to become stronger.
So he didn't pay too much attention to this. In order not to continue to hinder the pirate group, he also entered the devil's special training.
The other was to get Wood out of the Navy's "claws" as soon as possible and start translating Pluto's design blueprints day and night.
However, when half a month passed, Ruth and Robin realized that something was wrong.
Even if it is a closed practice, Wood should be about to come out. Although the food and water he brought in are quite a lot, they are quite limited and should not be enough to last such a long time.
Besides, since it is a practice, there is no way that there is no movement in the room.
When twenty days passed, Robin couldn't sit still at all. The translation work of the historical article also progressed very slowly because of worries about Wood's absent-mindedness.
Robin wanted to enter Wood's room to find out what was going on, but when she recalled Wood's previous stern warning, she suppressed her desire to push in the door again and again.
Because she was too worried about Wood, but didn't want to be punished herself, Robin began to trick Ruth into going to find out.
However, after getting along with Robin for a long time, Ruth is no longer the Ruth she was before, and it is obvious that she no longer regards Robin as an innocent little girl.
In their entire pirate group, Captain Wood has one heart, and the rest of them combined also have one heart, and Robin, the sinister girl, has more hearts than the rest of them combined.
In the past, everyone in their pirate group believed that the so-called "son of the devil" was just a shit bowl put on Robin's head by the World Government.
However, it wasn't until they spent a lot of time with Robin that they realized how correct the saying "There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames" was true.
Even though Robin has an angelic face and wears glasses, she looks like a text-oriented girl, but if this guy turns evil, the so-called devils will have to step aside.
Leaving aside other aspects, Rosinandi, who was thrown to the entrance of the navy branch on a certain island before, was staggering and covering his crotch when he came back...
"Ruth, you are the vice-captain of the pirate group. Now that the captain has been silent in the room for so long, shouldn't it be your duty to go in and see what's going on?
If anything happens to Wood really inside, as the vice-captain of the pirate group, you can take the blame."
Seeing the girl in front of him accusing him, Ruth almost laughed out loud.
When someone needs to take the blame, know that Ruth is the vice-captain. However, under normal circumstances, his so-called "vice-captain" is not much different from the background board.
Ruth was also very worried about Wood's condition. After all, before starting the so-called practice, Wood was unconscious for two or three days for unknown reasons.
However, Russ also knew that Wood's previous warning was not a joke. Once he rushed into the room rashly, disturbed the captain's important matters, or revealed any of his secrets, Russ might really be silenced.
Even though their captain usually looked harmless, Russ and the others had seen how Wood slaughtered hundreds of prisoners in the impel city in a short period of time.
Although more than a year has passed, Ruth and others can still tremble every time they recall the purgatory-like scene at that time.
To a certain extent, Ruth and the others also felt that Wood and Robin were actually a good match.
One is a literary girl who is usually quiet and loves to read, but once she becomes sinister, she becomes the son of the devil.
The other one smiles and smiles every day, as bright and sunny as the boy next door, but once he really makes a move, he acts like a real Shura from purgatory.
"Anyway, I wouldn't bother the captain. If Robin-chan is worried, I might as well go check on the situation.
With how much the captain dotes on you, he will only scold you a few times after that. If I go, I will probably be killed."
Russ is not talking nonsense, but in normal times, whether he is the "vice-captain" or Wood is the "captain", they are basically just decorations, and Robin is the real manager of the ship.
Captain Wood, except for making major decisions and deciding the course, basically doesn't care about anything.
Even every time he landed on the island, he had to fawn over Robin and ask for pocket money.
Seeing that Ruth was not wearing the trap, and that she was really worried about Wood's condition, Robin made up his mind and was about to enter the room, when the door opened with a "click".
"What are you going to do?"
Wood, who had just pushed out the door, looked at Robin in front of him and looked at each other.
After a lot of glaring, Robin decisively sold Ruth on the side.
"The deputy captain said that the captain has not left the room for a month, so he ordered me to open the door and check the situation."
Hearing what Robin said and looking at Wood's glare, Ruth was immediately confused and quickly defended: "When did I say this..."
"Did the vice-captain just say that Wood dotes on me so much that even if I disobey the captain's order, I won't receive any serious punishment."
Before Russ finished speaking, Robin interrupted.
"That seems to be the case, but what I mean is..."
"That's the thing. Uncle Russ is the deputy captain, and I'm just a crew member. In order not to be kicked off the ship, I can only follow orders."
Wood's eyes switched back and forth between Robin and Ruth, and he quickly understood what was going on. Then he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I know you are worried about me, but next time I encounter the same situation,
In this case, you just need to wait for me to come out with peace of mind.
Everyone has their own secrets, and I think you should know it too.
Of course, if you encounter a life or death crisis, this prohibition can be selectively ignored."
In the end, Wood did not punish Robin and Russ. Instead, after eating and drinking, he finally decided on a certain island as the target for sailing.
Now that their pirate group has the start-up funds to implement the plan, and the translation of Pluto's design is going smoothly, then naturally they have to find a suitable place to station.
As for the choice of island, Wood decided to build it in the first half of the Grand Line.
The reason is also very simple. Although the market in the New World is larger, there are also more powerful beings. Forget about Wood himself, the overall strength of his pirate group is really not strong, or even a little weak.
If you want to build a force, you cannot rely solely on strong personal strength. If Wood is not at home one day, then the entire force will be taken over by someone.
Therefore, when choosing where to base, Wood planned to initially choose the first half of the Grand Line, which was weaker throughout the day.
They can slowly make the weapons company bigger and stronger, and then slowly develop into the new world, and finally become a giant in the new world.
During this period of slow development, Wood could also slowly train Russ and the others, recruit new subordinates, and slowly expand the size of the pirate group.
After observing many sea maps, Wood finally settled on an uninhabited island and officially named it "Dark Island".
Don't ask why he got this strange name. The question is that Robin seems to have a special liking for dark names.
And the reason given is also well-founded. They built a company around the technology of "Pluto" and brought darkness to the world government, so it is called "Pluto Island".
The reason is very far-fetched, but the big bosses in Russ believe that this name is much better than the "Douluo Island" named by Wood...
After choosing the island, Wood and the others went to the Chambord Islands and invited the fishman Tom to act as an engineer. They used the five billion Baileys stolen from the World Government to start a determined plan.
Originally, Wood invited everyone from Tom's Studio, including Frankie, who was very talented in weapons manufacturing.
After all, Robin has already been robbed, and if he robs Rubber Boy and a boatman, he won't be far behind.
However, Wood's request was rejected by Tom, because Tom believed that Wood's business was a fatal deal, and he did not want his two disciples to be involved.
It didn't matter that he had a huge bounty on his head, and Wood was still kind to him, so he couldn't refuse Wood's request.
However, for his two disciples who were as close as his own sons, Tom hoped that they could live a normal life.
Wood was not angry at Tom's rejection and chose to respect the other party's choice. After all, when it came to craftsmanship, Bingshan and Franky were just accessories at best.
The address has been selected, the funds have been secured, and even the scientific research talents have been prepared. Now all that is left is a large amount of labor force, and formal production can begin.
Wood's pirate group only has a dozen people at full strength, and they really can't support the operation of a factory.
However, if workers are recruited from outside, the business they do is too dangerous, and ordinary people are unlikely to be willing to work for them.
When recruiting pirates, Wood was worried that he would find some uneven and even bad-intentioned guys. What was even more troublesome was that he was worried that he would get involved as undercover agents of some other pirate groups.
After all, he is a young man himself, so he has to guard against this. Once the core secret "Pluto" design is stolen, or something happens to Robin, his company will basically be ruined.
However, the lack of labor did not give Wood a headache for long. He soon came up with a solution, which was to hire the fishmen from Mermaid Island!
Compared with ordinary humans, the fish-men are much stronger in terms of physical strength and other aspects, and they extremely yearn for life on land.
Wood lacks a large labor force, while the fishmen yearn for a life on land. It can be said that the two hit it off.
If it were someone else, even if they thought of this method, the implementation would not be so smooth. After all, the murlocs and humans are incompatible and would not trust each other easily.
But Wood is different. With the relationship between the fishman hero Tiger and Princess Otohime, the relationship between Wood and Mermaid Island can be said to be as good as wearing a pair of pants.
With Tiger and Princess Otohime's guarantee, a large number of fishmen began to come to Wood's island to help him work.
Wood provides them with a place to live, wages, and guarantees their safety, while they provide corresponding labor force for Wood, and everyone takes what they need.
Because of the presence of fishmen, the desert island was quickly reclaimed and a large number of buildings began to be erected.
At first, the pirates who passed by this place had some ideas when they saw the fishmen on the island. However, when they saw the pirate flag set up on the island, they immediately killed their original ideas in the cradle.
After a series of events, Wood and his pirate group are no longer as unknown as before.
Leaving aside the New World, in the first half of the Grand Line, Wood was definitely considered a big figure among pirates.
He caused trouble in Impel Down City, broke into the Navy branch alone, destroyed Judiciary Island, and then fought between the Don Quixote family and the World Government to steal five billion Baileys.
In the face of the siege of numerous pirate groups, he was able to safely return to the first half of the Grand Line. Various deeds proved that Wood had completely escaped the "newcomer" stage, and the bounty on his head was absolutely genuine.
