78: Section 78

What does a physique of 17 points mean?

With a casual swing, nearly thirty tons of brute force follow!

If we talk about maximum explosive power, it might even exceed fifty tons!

Second: Owl Mask (Blue)!

[Item: Owl Mask (Blue)]

[Category: Fashion • Face]

[Attributes: Insight +10, Dexterity +5]

[Effect: Owl Transformation]

Su Ming curled his lip in disdain, this thing was as useless as that Owl, which was fat as a ball...

The key is.

Who would put a Scottish round-faced ground chicken's face on their own?

Smash!—

Recycle and Gather!

The newly acquired fashion item vanished without a trace.

In its place was...

[You obtained: Owl Spirit *1, Skill • Owl Transformation *1]

Well... that works too!

Owl Spirits are rare; only intelligent Owls might drop them... Gathering is an exception, but then again.

The Owl messengers in the Harry Potter World probably all drop this material!

As for the Skill • Owl Transformation, this item is useless to Su Ming, but it might fetch a good price at the Diagon Alley shopping festival.

He put away the spoils.

Su Ming used Blink to leave the ruins.

On a street several kilometers away, Su Ming continued to enjoy the scenery of Water 7, as if what had just happened didn't exist.

Suddenly.

Midnight’s voice, like a cold wind, whispered in his ear:

"Master, why do you disdain the door-door fruit, yet value the munch-munch fruit so much?" 0.7

Su Ming chuckled.

This question must have been bothering Midnight for a long time.

After a moment of thought, Su Ming said:

"On the surface, the door-door fruit involves the concept of space, so it should seem to have more potential, right?"

"Yes, Master. With the power of the door-door fruit, The Rose could open a spatial door and appear anywhere we wish."

"It's not that simple, Midnight!"

Su Ming was a little helpless; even after being promoted to a Hero Unit, Midnight's database remained the same.

Her knowledge was inevitably a bit shallow.

"Our journey is ultimately to the stars and the sea, Midnight. No matter how strong the door-door fruit is, it cannot achieve inter-stellar domain level teleportation. Otherwise, this fruit would be the strongest fruit in this world..."

"The munch-munch fruit is different; it gives you the potential for infinite evolution!"

"Otherwise, how could you stand shoulder to shoulder with me?".

Chapter 88: Mask Festival and the Grand Finale Auction Item

Spandam was incredibly frustrated, more frustrated than when a hundred fat women held steel wool and stared at him greedily!

Water 7 isn't that big, but it's not that small either.

A battle that happened in the abandoned district just an hour ago was, as expected, reported to the World Government by other CP Department agents!

Then.

He was scolded relentlessly over a series of Den Den Mushi calls!

Even now.

He was still listening to the 'kind' greetings from his father, filled with resentment!

Looking at the ferocious expression on the Den Den Mushi, Spandam even wondered if he was adopted.

...My pressure is not small. Listen, don't cause me any more trouble!

Especially tonight!

Doflamingo's underground auction is about to begin.

Among the finale items, there's a branch of the treasure tree adam that the World Government values greatly!

Bring it back!

For that, you can temporarily ignore those pirates... Do you understand what I mean?

Spandam stood at attention, shouting hoarsely:

"Yes! As you command!"

Beep beep!—

The Den Den Mushi hung up, blowing a bubble with an innocent husky-like face!

With a cold snort, Spandam plopped down onto his chair.

"Damn Rob Lucci! Damn CP9 Squad! A bunch of useless, incompetent fools who made me get scolded bloody!"

"Hmph! Just you wait, I'll make you pay for this sooner or later!"

After a string of curses, he couldn't help but get excited when he thought of tonight's grand finale auction item.

He quickly pulled out a gilded invitation from the drawer; Doflamingo's mark was particularly eye-catching on it!

Hehehe!—

You poor folks!—

It's time to let you witness the financial power of the World Government!

...

That night.

It was the annual Mask Festival, and the entire city gradually reached its climax with fireworks displays, flower boat parades, and lively folk performances.

This was a hidden club located in the shipyard district.

People wore various masks on their faces.

It was as if by doing so, they could hide their identities and desires deep in the shadows.

However.

There were also show-offs like Cavendish, who sat with his legs crossed, scrutinizing the 'bugs' around him with contempt.

Don't let this guy's flashy appearance, which seems out of place in the One Piece World, fool you.

He is a genuine Supernova!

A formidable character with a bounty of 250 million Berries!

Su Ming's perception continued to spread, and characters from the anime appeared one by one.

Franky, with his flamboyant pompadour and Hawaiian shirt, the even fatter Eggman than an Owl, and the Square Sisters, Kiwi and Mozu.

However.

Did their uniform 'Blu' masks really hide their identities?

Su Ming didn't believe it.

Besides the Franky Family.

Mr. Iceberg, the owner of Galley-La Company and mayor of Water 7, arrived wearing a butterfly mask, accompanied by Kalifa.

In the VIP box on the right side of the second floor.

Spandam wore a pig-face mask.

As for Su Ming...

Sorry...

He wasn't even at the venue.

With real-time monitoring from his Observation Haki domain, he even had time to participate in the citizens' masked ball!

The auction quickly began.

It started with gold and silver jewelry, and antique sculptures.

Wealthy patrons feigning elegance and nobles maintaining appearances frequently bid.

The true 'big shots' merely watched indifferently.

Then, slaves from the Mink Tribe and Fish-Man Tribe were put up for auction.

A large group of Celestial Dragons' agents frantically raised bids, and the other 'big shots' began to adjust their postures, because the truly high-value auction items... were about to be revealed!

Finally.

Another host ascended the platform and stated clearly:

"All you swordsmen, please pay attention! The next item up for auction was jointly crafted by three masters from Wano Country!"

"Although it is a replica of the Nidai Kitetsu, it possesses the quality of one of the 21 Great Grade Swords!"

"Its name: blood blade heavenly ghost!"

Accompanied by the host's impassioned introduction, the sheathed long sword in the display case immediately attracted everyone's attention!

The blood-red hilt extended into crimson inscriptions, the blade's spine was heavy, and the blade itself was long and narrow.

The edge shimmered with streaks of red light under the illumination.

Viewed separately, every structure of the blood blade heavenly ghost was exquisitely beautiful, like a meticulously carved work of art, yet... when combined, that subtle disharmony sent shivers down one's spine, evoking an ominous feeling!

Undoubtedly!

This was a genuine cursed blade!

"As you can see, after the blood blade heavenly ghost came into existence, its three Smithing masters successively passed away for various reasons within a mere month!"

"According to analysis, the blood blade heavenly ghost possesses the characteristic that once drawn, it must taste blood!"

"Although it is regrettable... but..."

"blood blade heavenly ghost! Starting bid 10 million Berries!"

As his voice fell, the venue was silent.

A cursed blade?

No wonder a treasure with quality comparable to one of the 21 Great Grade Swords only had a starting bid of 10 million Berries.

With a sneer.

Spandam raised his bidding paddle:

"Twenty million Berries!"

Bang!—

The gavel fell!

"Sold!"

The host eagerly brought down the gavel, his actions so swift, as if he feared the kind 'sucker' would go back on his word then and there.
