I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

panglao island,

This island is also a good place for sightseeing.

——In other words, tourism has always been a direction for non-concierge development.

The terrifying number of islands, large and small, coupled with the abundant sunshine and rain in the tropics, has created countless islands suitable for tourism: Panglao Island is one of them.

If there is anything different here, it is that this island is adjacent to Bohol Island in the north: As a completely occupied island, Bohol Island is half the size of the island country's Wakayama Prefecture, with millions of people gathered here. A level demon.

Anyone who dares to open a "supply point" in a place like this must be someone who is either powerful or has a problem with his outlook on life.

"Wow, there are so many ships?"

Boats of all sizes are now docked near the islands that were once tourist destinations.

There are warships of various models and sizes; there are also various small private ships: there are even modern sailboats with triangular sails and highly maneuverable motorboats. These ships are all kinds of strange, but the only thing they have in common is that All have been weapon modified.

There were anti-explosive weapons on the side of the ship and six-barreled machine guns mounted on the deck. They were all armed to the teeth, with traces of bites and slashes, exuding the smell of iron and blood.

"You two, please restrain your Neptune species."

A patrol boat came over, and the patrol officers carrying weapons on the boat took a look at the 'King of the Offshore' under Rufus and Zorro's buttocks, and just calmly registered.

"If he makes trouble here, my master will not show mercy."

"Ruff,"

"Is it okay to leave that guy here alone?"

Standing on the dock, Zorro couldn't help but ask.

Although he has no dealings with the 'King of the Offshore', he is Luff's 'partner' after all, so Zoro, who has a stable personality, naturally has to be concerned about him.

"No problem,"

"Xiao Jin is not weak. When in danger, he can still dive into the sea."

and--

I dare to open this supply point here,

It proves that the people behind it are very powerful, otherwise they would not be able to control the situation.

"Zorro, do you have anything to buy? Weapons or something~~"

"No need,"

Putting his hand on the short black stick at his waist, the green-haired young man shook his head slightly.

"The two short tungsten steel sticks I have are enough,"

Tungsten steel, also known as tungsten-titanium alloy, has an astonishing hardness of 90HRA. It is often used in high-precision machining and warheads of armor-piercing projectiles.

The composite armor of a heavy tank can be forcibly cut through with kinetic energy. Needless to say, it is strong. The two short sticks in the young man's hands are mixed with other alloys to reduce their brittleness. Apart from weight, they have no other weaknesses.

"Other weapons are not suitable for me."

Non-concierge stick fighting is a very close to everyday self-defense technique: it can be performed using items readily available in daily life, such as umbrellas, tennis rackets, wooden sticks, rolled newspapers or magazines, for self-defense.

Coupled with the extensive study by military and police personnel, it is a very popular martial art around the world.

And the young Zorro's family's double-stick technique is even more perfect.

Using other weapons will greatly reduce the strength.

"That's it~~"

"Then let's recruit some companions!"

Instead of being trapped on an island, it is better to push the front back:

Only by killing the monsters and synthetic beasts under the Nine-Tails Force can the hometown in the back be safer.

This is Rufu's purpose of taking the Offshore King out to sea: to use offense instead of defense, while at the same time training and improving in battle.

The two of them chatted while walking into the island: as far as they could see, they were full of fierce armed men with guns and knives!

However, when these heavily armed personnel saw the one-armed Rufus and Zorro with two sticks stuck in his waist, they took the initiative to move to both sides of the road as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Dare to walk here with this look, the only explanation is 'extraordinary': as the saying goes, 'the weirder they dress, the faster they fight', these two people are masters at first glance!

"Both gentlemen, is this your first time coming to Panglao Island?"

A girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old took the initiative to stand in front of the two of them.

"Is something wrong?"

In Zorro's calm eyes, the girl looked calm and generous.

"If this is your first time, gentlemen, you'd better hire a guide."

"There are many forces on this island, and more than half of the extraordinary people in this sea area have gathered together; and there are rules set by that adult: If there is a conflict due to insufficient intelligence, it will be somewhat troublesome."

After saying that, the girl patted her chest.

"And I can avoid these troubles for these two gentlemen."

"Ruff, what do you think?"

"OK,"

The one-armed boy nodded.

In such a chaotic place, you should hire a guide.

Unlike those islands that you can see at a glance,

Panglao Island covers an area of ​​80 square kilometers. The interior of the island is made up of endless hills and lush dense forests: although most of them were planted later, it is by no means a small place and the situation is definitely complicated.

"If you want to purchase thermal weapons, there are large arms dealers in the port on the west side of the island, and they can handle large quantities;"

"If it's ship maintenance, there are shipyards established by island countries in the east;"

“In the heart of Grande Resort in the north of the island,”

"There is an auction house established by that adult: all good things!"

The girl who received a gold ring as her 'salary' introduced the two of them as she led them into the seaside city.

Where there is buying and selling, there will be merchants. Arms dealers from many countries gathered on this island, and many of these businessmen were governments of various countries. In the auction house opened by the ‘big man’ who controls this island, the items for sale include:

"Extraordinary potion!"

"Third-level extraordinary potion, second-level extraordinary potion, and even heard of extraordinary pearls!"

?

"I'll go take a look!"

Zoro asked a cold question to Luffy, who was looking very interested.

"Do you have that much money?"

You can tell with your toes that the price of extraordinary potions and even extraordinary pearls is absolutely jaw-dropping!

“Hey hey hey, look at it and it doesn’t cost any money~~”

No, it actually costs money.

The girl who was the guide secretly complained that if she were an ordinary person, she would have to pay an "admission fee" of US$5 million before entering the auction house.

But if you are an extraordinary person:

"Okay,"

"Are both gentlemen extraordinary? You can enter the auction house for free."

————

North of Panglao Island. No, to be precise, this is called Bohol Island.

Because of its large area, this island is divided into three regions: Bohol, Panglao, and Panglao. Each of them is called "island": it comes from the past residents of these three places and their respect for the land under their feet. call.

In the northeast of the island, there is a cross-sea bridge connecting the neighboring county-sized Bohol Island.

On the mountainside directly opposite the cross-sea bridge is the location of the auction house established by the island's current 'owner'.

Here, as long as you get something valuable enough, you can buy everything: missiles, warships, extraordinary potions, and even the lives of your enemies!

The former resort hotel has been converted into an auction house. All kinds of strange and weird things are gathered here, evaluated and priced by professional appraisers, and then exchanged for other supplies.

"Mr. Marshall, please sit down."

In the VIP room, the 'manager' in a straight suit raised his hand to signal.

"Tell me, what do you want to buy from us this time?"

"Weapons and ammunition? Or"

"Where are the other French warships?"

As soon as this polite manager opened his mouth, he was shocked; Marshall was able to raid the French destroyers, and the intelligence was provided by them.

"No, no information is needed at the moment."

Marshall, who finally released his transformation and returned to a fat black man measuring 1.8 meters tall, waved his hand.

"What I want is-"

"Extraordinary serum-making machine!"

?

These words made the suit manager opposite him look slightly stunned.

"Extraordinary serum-making machine. Mr. Marshall, I have to say, your ambition really surprises me."

The function of this machine can be understood just by looking at the name: using fresh blood of extraordinary creatures to create extraordinary potions.

And there is absolutely no shortage of extraordinary creatures in this sea area: extraordinary beings, sea kings, and the largest number of monsters!

"Are you going to draw your own blood?"

"Hahaha~~~How is that possible!"

Marshall seemed to have heard some big joke and couldn't help laughing.

Even without the transformation, his tall figure still made the sofa under his butt creak under the strain.

"If you want to draw, you also want to draw the blood of my men."

"But I heard that long-term blood drawing will affect the strength of extraordinary people, so-"

He raised his hand and pointed out the window: it was in the direction of the cross-sea bridge.

"Aren't there a lot of raw materials over there?"

Be a demon!

"I see,"

The manager nodded.

The pirate captain in front of him has gathered many extraordinary people, but he is still not satisfied.

It seems that he is planning to transform all his subordinates into extraordinary beings?

His ambition is clear, but:

"My master should be very happy to see you form a 'transcendent fleet'."

"Extraordinary serum manufacturing machine, we will ship it soon."

After saying that, the manager in black suit stood up.

"Hahahaha~~"

"Then thank your master for me."

————

"Is this the auction house?"

Taking a car to the northeast of the island, Rufu was amazed when he looked at the huge building in front of him.

"It's very impressive."

This was originally an international resort hotel, and after some emergency renovations, it looked even more magnificent, but these are not the point.

"You two, please."

When the guide girl came forward to negotiate,

After Luffy and Zoro showed off casually, the black suit guard guarding the door immediately stepped aside respectfully.

"Gentlemen, this way."

Under the leadership of the girl, the two came to a hall.

There are already many people sitting here. These people are either in military uniforms or with big bellies. They all appear to be rich or noble.

There are also many people wearing ordinary clothes but carrying knives and sticks. From their bloody murderous look and cold and proud eyes, it is not difficult to tell that they are extraordinary people!

Many lucky people have picked up the many pearls generously sprinkled by the "Crab Princess" of the Sea Kingdom; after eating them, they will be at the level of a "strong dog", and can kill ordinary soldiers even with just a punch, leading to the extraordinary situation in this sea area The number of readers continues to increase.

In the center of these people is a high platform.

The item being auctioned on the high platform is a frigate.

"Sit over here,"

While the auctioneer was talking eloquently, the girl took the two of them to find a remote place to sit down.

"If you two want to buy something, raise your hands and make an offer: anything of value can be used to participate in the auction."

boom!

At this moment,

the door of the auction house was suddenly pushed open.

?

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to see who dared to be presumptuous in this place.

After seeing the newcomer, the people in the auction house tilted their heads again, as if nothing had happened just now; even the auctioneer's passionate words did not pause for a moment.

Amid the chaotic footsteps, a large group of people rushed in.

Some of these people were wearing old military uniforms, some were wearing furs, and some were shirtless.

But without exception, they were all aggressive and bloody.

They were all extraordinary people!

And surrounded by these people, a man three meters tall, wearing a medieval captain's coat, and with a chin full of creeping tentacles strode into the auction house.

"It's him."

"Captain Marshall,"

"Is he here to attend the auction too?"

Amid the whispers of the crowd, the group walked straight to the center of the auction house:

The several middle-aged men in military uniforms sitting there stood up with a sullen face and left the auction house directly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, even the English navy has to give in."

Looking at all this, the girl standing behind Luffy and Zorro couldn't help but sigh.

"That's 'Black Captain' Marshall. He has a dozen extraordinary people under his command. He is the largest extraordinary force in this sea area."

Extraordinary people are arrogant and think they are 'destined'; but this 'Black Captain' has gathered a lot of extraordinary people with his terrifying strength and generous rewards.

Even the navy of a big country is unwilling to provoke: if a group of extraordinary people touch the warship, no matter how strong the ship and the powerful gun are, it's nonsense.

"Cough,"

The auctioneer coughed on the high platform in the center of the venue.

"The next item to be auctioned is:"

"Extraordinary ground effect aircraft."

"Please look!"

As the auctioneer raised his hand to signal, the picture on the big screen behind him changed, and a wooden 'spaceship' appeared on it.

"This is a ground-effect vehicle made by the 'Huakaiyuan' family,"

"The keel of the hull is made of 'holy wood', which can easily withstand level 7 winds and waves, and the speed reaches 350 knots."

Every time he said this, the eyes of the people in the auction hall brightened; when they saw the heroic figure of this 'spaceship' sailing on the sea, their eyes lit up, as if an old pervert who had been locked up for decades saw a peerless beauty!

Everyone present here is a person who came to this sea area to risk their lives. For them, an excellent ship is much more attractive than a 'mere' beauty.

What's more, this ship is not enough to be described as 'excellent', but beyond imagination!

After all, it is a creation made of extraordinary materials

What a pity!

As the picture cuts away,

the people with desire in their eyes as real as substance showed expressions of regret.

If the 'black captain' Marshall had not come, they would still have a chance to compete.

"This ship belongs to the black captain,"

In the corner of the auction hall, the girl explained to Luffy and Zorro.

"Let's not talk about blood drawing. With so many extraordinary people, as long as Captain Black promises to do one thing for the owner here, it is enough to be worth more than a billion US dollars."

Don't forget that extraordinary people themselves are huge combat forces; and as long as there is military force, are you afraid of not making money?

"Please start bidding."

"Me!"

An arm raised high interrupted the auctioneer's words.

"I want this ship!"

???

Who is this one-armed boy?

As everyone turned their heads in confusion, the auctioneer had already spoken:

"Sir, what is your bid?"

"US dollars, gold, extraordinary potions, extraordinary pearls. Please bid first, and this auction house will make a fair valuation."

"My one promise!"

Luffy raised a finger,

"As long as it does not violate the law, I will do one thing for your auction house."

Hey hey hey?

Just after giving this 'guest' a popular science,

I didn't expect the other party to use it immediately. The guide girl almost couldn't help jumping up and hitting people.

Who do you think you are?

"Who do you think you are, Captain Black?"

Someone in the crowd spoke out the girl's inner thoughts.

"What a big tone, what does your promise mean--"

"My name is Luffy,"

Standing up, the one-armed boy slowly closed his raised fingers under the gaze of everyone.

"I want to be the man who is the king of this sea!"

"My promise is enough."

? ? ? ? ?

This, this.

In an instant, the fierce auction fell into silence.

Become the king of this sea?

Am I still asleep, or is this guy still asleep?

"Ha"

"Hahaha~~"

"What are you talking about in your sleep? Just you?!"

The laughter went from low to high, and then it became a chorus. Whether it was ordinary people or extraordinary people, they all subconsciously cursed.

But some people did not speak, such as the 'Captain Black' Marshall with a flashing eye.

For example, on the second floor above the auction house:

"Interesting little guy,"

"Indeed, he dares to be so arrogant."

Bending down to serve a cold drink to Crab Princess, the young man named 'KYG' agreed.

"I'll take care of him right away."

"To be honest,"

Faced with Crab Princess's calm words, the young man's face twitched.

"This is a young man with great potential. I want to give him the boat and see how far he can go."

The man named 'KYG' didn't know that the 'young master' of the Sea Country had contacted the one-armed boy below; but his intelligence network had already collected information about the other party.

As he said, he is a young man with great potential: as a fun person, of course we have to see how far such a person can grow.

"Well said, reward."

As the little adult-like Crab Princess waved her hand, the young man stood up.

"Everyone,"

He walked to the edge of the second floor,

As soon as he spoke, the noisy auction house quieted down instantly.

"It's the 'News King'!"

"The owner of the auction house appeared in person?"

People stood up and took off their hats to salute the person on the second floor.

That's right, the 'owner' of this auction house, and even this island, is the young man named 'KYG'!

At his speed, he can run through several islands in a day. As long as he doesn't encounter a big monster, the entire sea area is free for him to come and go.

For others, the extraordinary pearl is a secret treasure that needs to be searched for at the risk of life.

For him, it is an easy thing to pick up.

However, 'KYG', who was under the command of Crab Princess, did not search for the extraordinary pearl.

Instead, he recruited a group of people to establish his own 'intelligence network'.

He was no longer satisfied with being just a ‘web blogger’,

but wanted to be the ‘news king’ of the new era!

This island was not only the center for him to collect intelligence, but also the power he established.

“This ground effect vehicle,”

The young man who appeared on the second floor looked down from above, with a kingly demeanor, and did not kowtow to Crab Princess at all.

“It belongs to this little brother Luffy!”

As he made the final decision, no one dared to make a noise anymore.
