"The Legend of Emerald City"
"Quality: Extremely Rare (Special Item)"
"Description: A special treasure map circulating in the Sea Thief and Pirate Derivative World, pointing to the legendary Emerald City."
"Effect 1: Before deployment begins, spend 2 d-class special points to activate the treasure map. Your deployment mission world will be re-anchored to the Pirate Derivative World."
"Effect 2: In the Pirate Derivative World, this treasure map will display specific location coordinates."
This is a standard "treasure map" type special item, possessing both treasure hunting and mission world anchoring abilities. The greatest use of such items is actually to allow Reincarnators to target and enter a specific mission world, which is very useful for Reincarnators who want to specifically acquire abilities or items.
Of course, treasure maps of such high quality are also very rare in Space. This Emerald City, which was not mentioned much even in the original work, is clearly priceless.
Bai Cangshu actually had plans to return to the Skuld Island sea area to search for the Golden Township, which most likely sank into the sea after Karp shattered the island, but he had to wait until Karp and these Headquarter Marines left.
Leaving Captain Brina alive was actually more beneficial for his subsequent operations. He knew that with his current reputation level, both the World Government and the Marine would offer him good positions, and even entering the Headquarter for further training was foreseeable.
Therefore, controlling Captain Brina was more valuable than killing Captain Brina. If Captain Brina were killed, the G51 Branch would likely fall into the hands of others, but with the now docile Captain Brina managing the G51 Branch, Bai Cangshu effectively gained many resources that could be allocated.
Bai Cangshu coldly calculated the gains and losses. He did not sense Keli's desire to kill the opponent, otherwise, with Keli's ability when controlling his body, he could have completely used Dong Dong Wave to kill the opponent at that time.
Bellamy had already fallen to the ground, weak. Not far away, there were a few Sea Thieves cautiously observing. Bai Cangshu guessed that these people were probably members of the "Hyena Sea Thief Group," which means Bellamy's crew.
But after Bai Cangshu got the sea chart, he came before Bellamy, looked at those people, and pointed his finger at Bellamy's head.
Several Sea Thieves showed expressions of terror. On Bai Cangshu's hand, Killing Intent Ripple swirled like flames.
"Ah!"
Even Bellamy's wails at this moment seemed weak.
"Enough, Marine."
A deep voice sounded, and Bai Cangshu was not too surprised. He turned his head and saw the gloomy Headquarter Vice Admiral Onigumo, wearing a helmet, standing not far away.
"This guy is infected. We must study him first. Do not execute him rashly."
"Your actions have won the praise of Headquarter Vice Admiral Onigumo. Your reputation with Onigumo has increased. Current: Friendly (78/100)"
Bai Cangshu's lips curved. His perception was extremely keen, especially after his Mental power broke through its extreme. Within a dozen meters, even with his eyes closed, he could almost perceive the presence of everyone.
He had known Onigumo's position from the beginning. Adopting this cruel posture was partly due to the influence of Killing Intent Ripple, and partly Bai Cangshu's deliberate indulgence.
He knew that Onigumo and other Headquarter hawkish generals would never worry about his style of conduct being too extreme; they only worried about him being soft-hearted.
These were a group of aggressive warmongers, whether dealing with Sea Thieves or colleagues.
Bai Cangshu stood up, letting Onigumo's men take Bellamy away, and he also took the opportunity to approach this equally cruel Marine Vice Admiral.
As always, these plot characters who do not belong to the "good guy" faction had a rather good impression of Bai Cangshu.
"Vice Admiral Karp said you are very talented."
Onigumo looked at Bai Cangshu. He had witnessed the terrifying power of Enel and did not believe that the Marine in front of him could single-handedly slay the "Evil Demon." That was something that even several of their Headquarter Vice Admirals working together could not do.
He believed that Vice Admiral Karp had probably severely injured the "Evil Demon," who was then killed in Tao Bai Bai's counterattack.
However, to possess such aptitude was absolutely extraordinary!
Onigumo's gaze softened slightly, which was rare. He liked powerful colleagues, especially if their conduct aligned with his own views.
One should be more ruthless to enemies than enemies are to them.
This was why he followed Admiral Akainu.
"How about it, do you want to enter the Headquarter for further training? I can recommend you."
Onigumo's words were actually hinting that Bai Cangshu could join their faction. Due to the fierce battle on Skuld Island, Bai Cangshu, who emerged prominently from this battle, was destined to gain the Marine's attention. So-called Headquarter training did not require Onigumo's recommendation.
But Onigumo did not want this Tao Bai Bai to get too close to Karp.
Karp was indeed a Marine Hero, but Karp's strength and capriciousness were not what Onigumo believed the Marine should be like.
"Then I thank the Vice Admiral. I happen to have many confusions in my cultivation. I wonder if the Vice Admiral can give me some guidance?"
Onigumo smiled, seeing that Tao Bai Bai was so sensible.
"Headquarter Vice Admiral Onigumo, Reputation Exchange List Opened"
Bai Cangshu knew that Karp and he were not compatible, and his conduct was not liked by Karp. Moreover, his subsequent actions would require Onigumo and Doberman, these Headquarter Vice Admirals, to be on his side.
He took the opportunity to open the exchange list with Onigumo.
The exchange list provided by the Marine was quite rich in materials.
Aside from things like Demon Fruit, it ranged from basic training techniques to the training methods of the Navy Six Styles.
Bai Cangshu quickly browsed behind Onigumo and soon locked onto his target.
"Life Return," requires "Respect" level reputation to exchange, costing 40 reputation points.
This ability is a special technique obtained by a few martial arts masters who practiced the Navy Six Styles after extreme research on their bodies.
Read the error-free version on 1619shuba!
Using Life Return, the user can control their muscles, hair, and internal organs. They can make their hair fight like limbs, change their body shape to be agile for speed or strong for power, and even use Life Return to store life energy within their body.
This ability, in a sense, is a more profound skill than the Navy Six Styles.
Because all Navy Six Styles are techniques that can only be exchanged when reputation reaches the "Respect" level, each style requires 40 reputation points for exchange. Bai Cangshu's current reputation in the Marine faction is "Respect (33/100)";
This means he could only exchange one style. Bai Cangshu, having already mastered Moonwalk and learned Iron Body, did not pursue extreme speed and lethality. Without being able to obtain all Six Styles and master Six King Gun, Bai Cangshu felt that the special ability of Life Return would be a greater improvement for him.
Moreover, Onigumo himself is a Headquarter Vice Admiral who is very proficient in Life Return.
This choice made Onigumo's approval of Bai Cangshu even higher.
Afterward, Bai Cangshu exchanged for two more "Sea Stone Handcuffs."
"Sea Stone Handcuffs"
"Quality: Rare"
"Description: A unique special substance found only in the Sea Thief and Pirate Derivative World, a stone containing the power of the sea, which has a strong restraining effect on Demon Fruit Ability Users."
"Effect 1: Demon Fruit Ability Users who touch Sea Stone Handcuffs will be greatly weakened."
"Effect 2: Demon Fruit Ability Users locked by Sea Stone Handcuffs cannot use their Demon Fruit abilities."
This is a unique special counter-item in this world, often bought at high prices in Space.
If you know a Reincarnator is a Demon Fruit Ability User, then by obtaining Sea Stone, you obtain the best opportunity to kill them.
When Bai Cangshu and Onigumo arrived at the Marine gathering place in Mogu Town, Karp was slightly surprised to see the gloomy Onigumo continuously explaining something to the new Marine recruit Tao Bai Bai, with his hair dancing behind him, seemingly teaching the profound mysteries of Life Return.
He had no interest in these factional disputes and simply laughed heartily while eating large amounts of food.
"Onigumo, Tao Bai Bai, you're late! I won't leave any extra food for you!"
Karp laughed, but Bai Cangshu's gaze turned to Captain Brina, who entered from the other side.
The Woman noticed Bai Cangshu's gaze, subtly nodded, and then looked away.
Bai Cangshu didn't expect this Woman to indeed be quite skilled in such small gestures. At this moment, he also took the opportunity to pick up rum and pretend to drink it.
Karp's personality is very similar to Luffy's. In non-combat situations, he actually has many weaknesses, but his inherent strength is formidable, so he has no qualms. Looking at the flush on Karp's face as he drank heavily.
Bai Cangshu knew that he might soon have the chance to kill those two Demons.
The Man-Wolf Gabra, and... the Moon Demon...
