Bleach: Beginning Fusion Gilgamesh Template

Chapter 185 Baroque Workshop, Frightened Weiwei
After the mentoring battle with Krocus, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were all incapacitated.

But they were not injured, they just needed to rest for a few days because they were exhausted.

Of course, their gains were also enormous.

Apart from other things, they already have a preliminary understanding of Haki, and believe that they will be able to master Haki quickly under the guidance of Gilgamesh.

It can be said that with the addition of Gilgamesh, the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates is far beyond that of the original work at the same time.

Gilgamesh estimated that even if he did not take action, with the current strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, they could easily break through the terrifying three-sailed ship of Moon Pass Moriah.

Once Luffy, Zoro and Sanji have mastered Haki, they can easily break into the Judicial Island in the original plot.

Gilgamesh would naturally not be satisfied with this.

At this stage, the Straw Hat Pirates' combat power still only includes Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, while Usopp and Nami are not considered combat power yet.

Given Usopp and Nami's foundation, even if Gilgamesh guided them in training, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything in a short period of time.

After all, most of their strength in the original work comes from their equipment.

It is basically impossible to equip them with complete equipment nowadays.

So Gilgamesh set his sights on the devil fruit.

In Gilgamesh's opinion, he could try to get the superhuman Explosion Fruit for Usopp and the natural Thunder Fruit for Nami.

Now that Usopp has the Explosion Fruit, his slingshot will never be short of bombs.

Not to mention the fact that Nami possesses the Thunder Fruit.

In Gilgamesh's memory, the Thunder Fruit should now be on Eneel on the Sky Island in the first half of the Grand Line, and the Explosion Fruit should be on Mr. 5, a senior agent of Baroque Works.

According to the timeline, Mr. 5 should appear at Whiskey Mountain later.

With this in mind, Gilgamesh looked at Crocus and asked, "Do you have a record pointer or a permanent pointer to Whiskey Mountain?"

In the Grand Line, ordinary pointers and maps cannot be used to find the location of the island. The tools required to successfully reach the next island are recording pointers and permanent pointers.

The recording pointer can record the magnetic force of attraction between islands to guide the direction of the next island.

Therefore, each time you arrive at an island, it takes anywhere from a few hours to a few months to fill up the compass record before you can set off to the next island.

The permanent pointer is a permanent version of the record pointer. It will always point to an island and will never change direction.

Krocus shook his head slightly and replied, "I will stay at this lighthouse for the rest of my life. The compass is of no use to me, so I don't have one either."

Gilgamesh's brows furrowed slightly.

If the main body is present, you can directly purchase the record pointer from the Royal Store.

But he is just a clone, and there is no royal store to buy it.

The Grand Route has seven routes.

You can choose any one at the beginning, but no matter which island the magnetic force starts from, once you choose it, you cannot change it. You can only go along the route one island at a time. In the end, these seven routes will converge at the Chabaoti Archipelago.

In other words, without the record pointer or permanent pointer of Whiskey Mountain, Gilgamesh and his companions can only rely entirely on luck to see if they can reach Whiskey Mountain.

Of course, this is not the most troublesome thing.

The Grand Route is the most magical and dangerous waterway in the world.

If there were no recording pointer or permanent pointer to guide them, they would have to cross the river by feeling the stones in a small boat like the Merry, and there was a high possibility that unexpected things would happen, which would make the voyage unable to continue.

Gilgamesh was not worried about himself, but he was not sure he could protect the Straw Hat Pirates.

Thinking of this, Gilgamesh thought of another question: How did the Straw Hat Pirates go to Whiskey Mountain in the original work?
Because the memory was a bit old, Gilgamesh didn't remember some small details very clearly.

Nami heard the conversation between Gilgamesh and Crocus, and when she saw Gilgamesh in deep thought, she couldn't help but say, "Although I have confidence in myself, I can't guarantee that I can sail safely on the Grand Line without the record pointer."

Gilgamesh subconsciously glanced at Nami when he heard that, wanting to say something comforting, but his eyes vaguely caught something and he couldn't help but look away.

At this sight, Gilgamesh's eyes lit up slightly.

Gilgamesh remembered that in the original book, Miss. Wednesday and Mr. 9 from Baroque Works sneaked into the body of Laboo in order to hunt the whale Laboo.

However, their hunting plan was stopped by the Straw Hat Pirates.

During this process, the recording pointer carried by Miss Wednesday, also known as Nephrite D. Vivi, accidentally fell into the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The record pointer points in the direction of Whiskey Mountain.

Just now, Gilgamesh saw Vivi and Mr. 9 hiding behind a big rock in the distance.

Although it is not known why they did not hunt down Lab like in the original book, it is no longer important. What is important is the recording pointer in their hands.

Without hesitation, Gilgamesh walked straight over.

At this time, Weiwei and Mr. 9, who were hiding behind a big rock, both had extremely frightened expressions on their faces, their hearts were beating wildly, and cold sweat was dripping like water.

This time, Vivi and Mr. 9 received a mission, the goal was to hunt down Lab and bring Lab's meat back to Whiskey Mountain for the people there to eat.

Whiskey Hill is a small town with developed winemaking and music industries, and the residents are very hospitable.

But in fact, this town is inhabited by a group of bounty hunters and is one of the bases of Baroque Works. Many young and inexperienced pirates have become prey to the bounty hunters.

In the original work, Vivi and Mr. 9 also lured the Straw Hat Pirates to Whiskey Mountain, wanting to capture them in exchange for a bounty.

Not long ago, Weiwei and Mr. 9 successfully arrived at the Gemini Cape Lighthouse.

But before they could take any action, they discovered that someone was fighting in the lighthouse.

To be on the safe side, they approached cautiously to see who was fighting.

But this sight almost made their hearts jump out of their chests.

Whiskey Mountain is home to a group of bounty hunters, so naturally there is a pirate bounty order issued by the navy.

Not long ago, the entire Whiskey Mountain was shaken by a bounty.

Because the bounty on this wanted poster is as high as 10 billion Baileys.

You should know that their big boss behind the scenes, Crocodile, had a bounty of only 8100 million berries before he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

They really couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a bounty of 1 billion berries.

Naturally, Weiwei and Mr. 9 also took a look at this reward.

However, at that time they thought that they would never have any encounter with such a big pirate in their lifetime, so after the initial shock they ignored it.

Who would have thought that they would be so unlucky that they would encounter the owner of a 10 billion Beli bounty just on a hunting mission.

Vivi's true identity is the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, so her character is stronger than Mr. 9, who usually likes to pretend to be a prince. After trying hard to restrain her inner shock and fear, Vivi couldn't help but ask: "Am I seeing things? The person standing there just now is the nobleman Gilgamesh?"

Mr. 9 nodded subconsciously and said, "No doubt about it, because he is the pirate who looks most like a king that I have ever seen, so I carry his bounty with me and take it out to observe it every day."

Mr.9 then revealed his true feelings.

But Weiwei didn't care. She knew very well that Mr. 9 was a fake prince, and she was accustomed to her companion's habits.

Now Vivi is completely focused on Gilgamesh.

When she said that just now, Weiwei still had a lucky mentality, thinking that she would never be so "lucky" to actually meet Gilgamesh directly.

But Mr. 9's words chilled Weiwei's heart. She no longer thought about the mission. She only thought about whether she should continue hiding to avoid being discovered, or escape quietly.

As for the fact that she was within hundreds of meters of a pirate with a bounty of 10 billion, Vivi felt like she was in a life-forbidden zone and could lose her life if she wasn't careful.

But she didn't want to die, and she couldn't die, because her country was still waiting for her to save it.

Just as Weiwei was thinking frantically, Mr. 9's voice sounded again: "Well, I don't know whether I should say it."

Weiwei's heart was not with him at all, so she didn't respond.

But Mr. 9's next words made Weiwei feel like she was falling into an icy cave, and her whole body was instantly cold.

"I think I saw Gilgamesh's eyes discover us."

Mr.9's words were like a depth charge, causing Weiwei's pupils to shrink sharply and her heart to tremble.

At the critical moment of life and death, Weiwei's body acted before her brain and wanted to escape directly.

But the huge fear made Weiwei's hands and feet weak. When she tried to get up, she found that she had no strength at all.

Mr. 9 wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a calm but majestic voice saying, "I found you."

boom!
Weiwei and Mr. 9 only felt that their world collapsed at this moment, and an unprecedented death crisis enveloped them.

Their heartbeats began to accelerate wildly, so much so that they could even hear their own heartbeats clearly.

I wanted to look back, but I didn't dare to, as if there was a monster behind me.

Nami and Krocus followed out of curiosity.

Among them, Krocus knew about the existence of Vivi and Mr. 9 in advance because he used the power of Observation Haki, but he did not know these two people.

After hearing Gilgamesh's words, Crocus couldn't help but ask, "Do you know them?"

Nami looked at the two stiff figures in front of her, and also cast a curious look at Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh nodded slightly and replied, "They are members of the Baroque Works Society, and they happen to have the record pointer I need."

Krocas frowned slightly when he heard about Baroque Works.

Because he had been staying at the Twin Cape Lighthouse, Krocus was unaware of this organization.

But this did not prevent him from having a very bad first impression of the organization.

Nami naturally didn't know Baroque Works, so she asked curiously, "What kind of organization is Baroque Works?"

Gilgamesh explained, "Baroque Works is a secret criminal organization based in Alabasta."

"Their apparent goal is to overthrow Alabasta and establish an ideal kingdom, but in reality they want to obtain the ancient weapon, Pluto."

"The president of this organization is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

As a former member of Roger's Pirates, Krocus naturally knew Pluto.

He also knew that there was never a shortage of forces searching for ancient weapons on this sea, so his expression did not change much when he heard the news.

Nami is different.

She didn't know what the ancient weapon Pluto represented, but she knew about the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and her heart was shocked.

Just when Nami was about to say something, Vivi, who had been frozen in place, suddenly burst out with infinite courage and anger, stood up, looked at Gilgamesh with tears in her eyes and asked: "Is what you just said true?"

Gilgamesh nodded slightly and replied, "It's all true."

After getting the definite answer, Weiwei suddenly lost control, tears streaming down her cheeks, and roared with hatred: "Crocodile, Crocodile, Crocodile!"

Seeing this, Krocas narrowed his eyes slightly. With his experience, he had already guessed some things.

Nami was stunned when she saw Vivi's appearance.

Because she seemed to see her former self in Weiwei.

Vivi's hatred for Crocodile is exactly the same as her hatred for the dragon.

But Nami didn't know what happened to Vivi that made her hate Crocodile so much.

Mr.9 finally came to his senses at this time.

He is Weiwei's partner in Baroque Workshop, and they usually work together.

Mr.9 thought he knew Weiwei very well, but it was not until this moment that he realized that he seemed to know nothing about his partner.

Gilgamesh naturally knew why Vivi was like this, but he didn't say anything.

She still needs to speak up about this matter herself.

Gilgamesh intends to intervene in the matter of Crocodile and Alabasta.

Alabasta is a superpower located in the first half of the Grand Line, with a population of over 10 million.

Its royal ancestor Nefert D. Lily created the world government together with 800 other kings 19 years ago.

However, she did not stay in Marijoa to become a celestial dragon, but returned to her homeland to continue the name of Nefert.

For such a country, Gilgamesh certainly wanted to bring it under his control and make it a base for him to become the king of the world.

Because he knows the plot, Gilgamesh is confident that he can bring Alabasta under his command.

After a long time, Weiwei finally vented her emotions. She wiped away the tears on her face with her hands and said to Gilgamesh and Nami, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself."

As she spoke, Weiwei took out a record pointer from her bosom, handed it to Gilgamesh, and said humbly: "This is my only record pointer. I will give it to you now."

"But could you please give us a ride back to Whiskey Mountain?"

Vivi did not seek help from Gilgamesh because she didn't know Gilgamesh at all, and if she was not careful, she might end up inviting a wolf into the house.

And it's a wolf more terrifying than Crocodile.
