62: Section 62

However.

As his gaze moved past the visitor, the sight not far away made the old man's heart skip a beat!

Moonlight cascaded down.

Dyeing the surrounding sea in a layer of tranquil, pearly white.

Mist swirled, and that bone ship loomed in the depths of the fog!

Crocus's white eyebrows twitched, his facial muscles spasmed, and even his eyes cleared up in an instant.

Several seconds passed.

Only then did Crocus look at Su Ming, exclaiming:

"Young man, you have great skill. This is the first time I, an old man, have seen such a crazy ship!"

Crazy?

Su Ming turned his head to look back.

I think it looks quite cool, though. What kind of aesthetic does this old guy have?

Seeing the undisguised disdain in Su Ming's eyes, Crocus's mouth twitched violently. This kid is really asking for a beating!

Forget it, forget it.

Young people filled with such killing intent are the least likely to play by the rules.

Who knows how many people this kid has killed to make his Observation Haki as restless as a cat with its fur standing on end.

"I am the lighthouse keeper of Twin Capes, Crocus."

"Omar, Omar Su... Old man, I heard that you give out Log Pointers for free here. Can you get me one too?"

No.

That look of absolute entitlement on your face... are you serious?

Who the hell gives out Log Pointers for free?

That's called a gift!

Do you even understand what a gift is?!

Woo!——

On the bone ship, a gloomy, mournful wail sounded, and a bone-chilling cold quietly spread.

In that instant.

Crocus's hair stood on end.

He actually had the illusion of being stared at by countless pairs of malicious eyes... wait, illusion my foot!

Those things that popped up on the deck of this kid's ship, floating three feet off the ground, semi-transparent bodies, filled with cold resentment—if that's not a ghost, I'll eat it!

"That's right!"

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Crocus said with a sincere expression:

"I do indeed give out Log Pointers for free here. Wait a moment, let me find you one with the highest sensitivity."

Watching the old man's back as he rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the room.

A faint smile curled on Su Ming's lips.

He naturally knew that while Crocus was the lighthouse keeper, he also shouldered the personal mission of vetting young people of the new era.

Only young people who gained Crocus's approval might be gifted a Log Pointer.

However.

Su Ming was not Luffy.

With limited time, he didn't want to waste it on a side quest to clear a giant island whale.

Fortunately.

The old guy was quite sensible.

Before long, Crocus returned to the lighthouse entrance and handed a gilded Log Pointer to Su Ming with great care.

"Being able to know of the existence of a Log Pointer means you, young man, at least understand the Grand Line..."

"But I must remind you again!"

"The climate on the Grand Line is volatile, and the magnetic fields are chaotic."

"If you lose your way, it is impossible to wait for rescue! So, protect the Log Pointer well, do you understand what I mean?"

Su Ming nodded and bowed in thanks.

One can be flexible in their methods.

But, one must hold onto their bottom line!

Bidding farewell to Crocus, Su Ming turned and returned to the deck.

The midnight rose set sail once again.

Gazing at the bone ship moving further and further away, Crocus sighed softly.

Such a young man, he is truly something to look forward to!

Suddenly.

A melodious whale song echoed through the night sky.

Eh?

Isn't Laboon recovering from its injuries?

What is the meaning of this strange cry?

Coexisting with comfort and ease, in the resonant whale song, one could even faintly hear a hint of... melodious and graceful nuance?

His old face darkened.

Crocus suspected that this kid Laboon was probably looking to carry on its lineage!

But...

Splash!——

Seawater fell like a waterfall.

Laboon, leaping out of the deep sea in the middle of the night, was miraculously healthy!

Crocus's eyes widened. The wounds were gone! The dozens of bleeding, lacerated injuries from the day were all gone!

But that's not right.

The medicine he applied couldn't possibly have such a miraculous effect.

Another ethereal and pleasant whale song rang out, and Laboon was actually wagging its tail toward the direction where the bone ship was sailing, as if thanking it!

Hiss!——

Holy crap, this young man...

It's truly hellish!

Er... well, it really was hellish tonight.

But Crocus couldn't accept that a guy whose killing intent was so terrifying it had almost solidified, actually had a healing ability comparable to a miracle!

Crocus questioned reality.

...

Yes.

It was undoubtedly Su Ming who healed Laboon.

When he left, he just happened to perceive Laboon's existence with his Psychic Power, so Su Ming simply repaid Crocus's favor.

Healing was very simple.

With one Creation Skill, plus a few large barrels of healing potions, he could successfully 'create' a lively and healthy island whale!

Chapter 70: wish pointer! A Miracle of Idealism

The saying still holds: The way of application lies within one's heart!

Life can also be viewed as material for Creation; as long as one does not change the target's fundamental state of existence, this alternative healing technique can succeed.

In fact.

The birth of this move stemmed from a brain-opening experiment.

The attributes of the Divination Robe were trash, but the Cleaning Spell was very useful.

Without the Cleaning Spell, Su Ming still had the pool and the washroom as backups, so he wouldn't end up completely disheveled, but washing up also took time!

The more time spent on daily trivialities, the more the time for grinding monsters, exploring dungeons, theoretical study, and virtual practice would inevitably be affected.

Therefore.

The Divination Robe has not been recycled by Su Ming to this day, but instead integrated into this current Officer's Cloak!

The problem arose.

What if the daily usage of the Cleaning Spell was used up, and he got himself all disheveled again?

Why not just use a Gathering Skill on himself?

The results proved it.

Su Ming's wild idea was correct.

In the face of a skill that could even gather information, the Cleaning Spell became completely obsolete.

Then, Su Ming's wild ideas became unstoppable.

Since the application range of the Gathering Skill was so vast, there was no reason why the Creation Skill of the same level couldn't be developed further.

Ultimately.

The in vivo experiment using a wild boar was launched for the 127th time.

After consuming nearly a hundred wild boars, Creation · Healing was finally developed.

And the island whale, Laboon, was Su Ming's first test subject in the One Piece World. Facts proved that the deviation of the world did not affect the core effect of the skills.

His own Scarlet profession was still very well guaranteed in terms of versatility.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Su Ming returned to the captain's cabin.

Ignoring Midnight, who was struggling against the gale and high waves, Su Ming sat down on his throne.

He took out the Log Pointer and began to analyze it.

Glass casing... skip.

Eternal pointer... interesting, it can remain as stable as an old dog in an environment with chaotic magnetic fields!

Gilded base... flashy and impractical.

After thinking for a moment, a faint white light shone in Su Ming's palm.

High-purity Thorium * 1!

Clear Crystal * 1!

Twelve grains of sands of time!

Twelve leaves from the World Tree Yggdrasil!

Twelve drops each from the blood of the Blue Dragon King and the Red Dragon Queen!

One unit of Mithril Alloy reinforced by ley line crystal radiation!

The power of 'I think therefore it is' is fully activated, give it here! Captain Jack's Wish Box!

The white light of Creation gradually converged.
