Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 53: Kuina Is In The Warehouse

Chapter 53: Kuina in the Warehouse (Fourth Update, Seeking Flower Tickets for Collection)

Robin was shocked on the side, but Zhao Xu had no reaction at all - because he had no idea what Dragon's bow meant!

Hmm, he was unfamiliar with this etiquette!

Moreover, he didn't pay much attention to it and let Dragon complete this ritual.

So, as the next step...

"Teacher, what do you think about the current situation of our revolutionaries?" Dragon spoke in a low voice, leaving Zhao Xu utterly confused.

Fortunately, Robin was perceptive and understood Zhao Xu's lack of common knowledge. She quietly pulled him aside and whispered a few words in his ear.

And then Zhao Xu became even more confused.

Dragon became a disciple? Just now?

And I didn't refuse this etiquette, so does that mean I've accepted him as my disciple?

So now I am Dragon's master?

Don't people in your pirate world inform in advance when they become disciples?

Of course, this master is not the kind of mentor who imparts knowledge and skills, but more like the ancient concept of a mentor.

The political system proposed by Dragon is just a more perfect version of yours, a modification rather than guidance from start to finish.

But he is still a teacher!

"Teacher, what do you think we should do next in the Revolutionary Army?" Dragon asked eagerly.

There are many strong individuals in the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, Bear, the transvestite king Ivankov...

But only Dragon plays with this ideological manifesto and determines the direction of the organization!

Now that there is an additional 'teacher,' he naturally wants to seek some advice and experience.

"Ah?" Zhao Xu was utterly confused. I only know about the little girls and little boys in the Revolutionary Army. What do you want me to say?

So he could only respond, "How about we continue like this for now?"

"I see, continue to hide ourselves, accumulate strength, and find the weaknesses of the World Government, right?" Dragon, who knows what he was imagining, muttered, "Truly a teacher!"

Zhao Xu: "..."

He realized that Dragon, who was originally very reliable, seemed to have changed after being influenced by his knowledge of the mustache...

...

The Revolutionary Army's power is far from being as strong as it was when the plot started ten years later.

Although they have many strong individuals, they lack a sufficient number of lower-level members and influence, making them weak in the long run.

And now, the Revolutionary Army is facing a shortage of resources.

Lack of funds, lack of personnel, lack of everything...

Zhao Xu took the opportunity to hope to exchange the gold coins in his hand for Devil Fruits. Unfortunately, the Revolutionary Army's power was still weak, and they couldn't offer precious fruits. They needed to cultivate new recruits, and the remaining fruits were not enough to exchange for all of Zhao Xu's funds.

In the end, Zhao Xu spent one billion berries to buy five Devil Fruits, emptying the Revolutionary Army's treasury.

Of course, the Devil Fruits on the Revolutionary Army's side couldn't be the lowest-grade ones worth 100 million berries. Although they weren't top-notch, the average purchase price was only 200 million berries each, which was quite a discount for Zhao Xu.

"The main task of the Revolutionary Army is still to overthrow the World Government. Perhaps I should find another way to obtain Devil Fruits..." Zhao Xu squinted his eyes.

Marine definitely has Devil Fruits, but unfortunately Saitama doesn't have much reason to ask for or exchange them.

As for the others...

He doesn't know any major merchant characters!

Although there are some people in the Revolutionary Army who have connections with merchants, like the one who informed Dragon of Uchiha Madara's location.

But in reality, the merchants the Revolutionary Army contacts are just small-time merchants. It was a joint effort of several big merchants and small merchants to secure the trade with Uchiha Madara!

The Revolutionary Army is actually quite poor...

Among the people Zhao Xu knows, the only one who can deal with Devil Fruits is Doflamingo.

This guy can even create artificial Devil Fruits!

But unfortunately, Zhao Xu himself sent this guy to Impel Down, where he is currently keeping company with the warden Magellan.

For now, he can only continue carrying the money.

But it seems that the Revolutionary Army is a bit poor. They happened to trade with Zhao Xu and obtained some money, so they plan to replenish their food supplies.

The place they are going to is a place Zhao Xu is familiar with.

Shimotsuki Village...

Shimotsuki Village is located in East Blue and is a peaceful little town.

It is said that the name of the village is related to Shimotsuki Yasuie, the former daimyo who served the Kozuki family in Wano Country, but it is not known if it is true.

Uchiha Madara and the others followed Dragon to Shimotsuki Village and easily found Koshiro, the owner of the Shimotsuki Village Dojo.

"Long time no see," Dragon's voice carried a hint of emotion.

"Yeah, are you here to prepare provisions again?" Koshiro also smiled.

Dragon laughed, "Yes, but this time we plan to buy more..."

It can be seen that the two are quite familiar with each other.

Zhao Xu also took a few more glances at Koshiro, although it was just a casual glance, he could sense a hidden sharpness from him.

Obviously, this person is not as weak as everyone imagines...

"Who is this?" Koshiro seemed to have noticed Zhao Xu's gaze and asked.

"My teacher, he has inspired me in many things..." Dragon introduced with a smile.

The two chatted and laughed, reminiscing about the past.

Zhao Xu sat on the side and after a while, he didn't bother them anymore and decided to go out for a walk on his own.

"I wonder if Zoro is here now... but Kuina should be here, right?"
