89: Section 89

Hexi stared blankly, her legs crossed.

Even she, amidst that ultimate purity and beauty, rarely displayed a touch of girlish demeanor.

Yes.

Even Keisha and Hexi had fallen.

The angels' obsession and pursuit of beauty was only one reason.

Another reason was that Su Ming had underestimated the effectiveness of the Star Pulse Hub and its attraction to angels born in a materialistic world.

That was a Creation capable of automatically generating natural magic energy!

Out of an instinctive yearning for life and evolution.

Out of the angels' extreme pursuit and obsession with beautiful things.

With both combined, Su Ming instantly became the treasure in the hearts of all female angels!

Yet Su Ming himself was completely oblivious to this.

Wall-Piercing Insight?

No need, that would be too ostentatious.

20 points of Inspiration were not just for show, and coupled with the indifference of his Observation Haki perception field, Su Ming naturally cast it to the back of his mind.

Beauty?

How could that be more fun than hand-crafting all sorts of strange and eccentric things?

A modern 00s-generation college student.

His main priority was putting his own feelings first.

In order to personally craft those unreachable two-dimensional Creations from his past life, Su Ming soon found himself swimming in an ocean of knowledge, so engrossed that he forgot to return.

The next day.

Su Ming dove headfirst into the One Piece World and descended into the captain's quarters of the midnight rose.

What surprised him greatly was that Midnight was steering the Yellow Spring River of Death, submerging a large section of Yalaman mangrove root deep within the Yellow Spring River of Death!

"Midnight, what are you doing..."

"Master, I am devouring the Yalaman mangrove."

Midnight's matter-of-fact tone made Su Ming feel a sudden realization.

He had been wondering what he had forgotten before.

So it was this!

The Yalaman mangrove, a wondrous plant in the One Piece World no less significant than the treasure tree adam.

It was the existence of this wondrous plant that supported the entire Sabaody Archipelago and upheld the miraculous coating technology of the One Piece World.

And what he had previously overlooked.

Was the munch-munch fruit!

It was mainly because the presence of the Yellow Spring River of Death was too strong, causing Su Ming to overlook that the birth of the Yellow Spring Coating also owed some credit to the munch-munch fruit.

Chapter 101: Yellow Spring River of Death Compatible with the munch-munch fruit

Slapping his forehead, Su Ming asked with anticipation: "So, the Yellow Spring River of Death is compatible with the ability of the munch-munch fruit?"

Midnight nodded in affirmation: "Yes, Master! Look..."

Wall-Piercing Insight activated, and azure radiance filled his pupils~.

With just one glance, Su Ming leaned back slightly in surprise.

Deep within the seemingly ordinary, murky current of the Yellow Spring River of Death, countless incomplete soul faces were crowded together, biting at the Yalaman mangrove roots in a near-manic frenzy!

Those were remnant souls!

Dense, endless remnant souls that stretched as far as the eye could see!

They were the soul remnants collected along the way by the Dead Remains Furnace, soul dregs that the cycle mechanism of the One Piece World could not digest in a short time.

And now.

These accumulated remnant souls, attracted by the Dead Remains Furnace, had all thrown themselves into the embrace of the Yellow Spring River of Death.

However, the Yellow Spring River of Death was not a reincarnation mechanism in the formal sense.

It was the coating facility of the midnight rose.

Of course.

These remnant souls, which had completely lost their concept of self, were not at a loss.

Serving as beasts of burden for Su Ming.

It was better than being crushed into soul particles by the world's crude cycle mechanism, and ultimately returning to the cycle sequence of all things without thought or consciousness.

Besides.

The beasts of burden of the midnight rose were not without hope of a future.

Once enough merit was accumulated, couldn't they be transformed into undead units and follow Su Ming to conquer the heavens?

This wasn't suffering; this was clearly a blessing!

In the blink of an eye, Su Ming convinced himself and began to watch the strange spectacle before him with peace of mind.

"The durability of the midnight rose is rising. Midnight, when did you start devouring?"

Midnight replied: "Starting from eight o'clock last night. This is the second root we have devoured. By the way, before that, we also devoured an undersea mineral vein."

Su Ming was thoughtful: "The efficiency is not bad. The ship's durability has increased by 15 points, and intimidation by 5 points..."

Glancing at the dense faces of the remnant souls in the Yellow Spring River of Death, he knew exactly where these 5 points of intimidation came from.

Must say.

This scene, if displayed, was indeed quite terrifying.

However, this also showed that.

The ability of the munch-munch fruit was very useful. Choosing to kill Wapol back then was indeed wise.

Scanning the surroundings with Wall-Piercing Insight, Su Ming was even more satisfied.

The resin of the Yalaman mangrove was already a good material. During this wave of devouring, the toughness and potential of the Yellow Spring Coating were being enhanced simultaneously.

It was just a pity.

Su Ming could also see that.

The reinforcement rate of the Yellow Spring Coating was slowing down, which at least indicated that for a single material, the reinforcement effect would diminish linearly.

After a quick estimation.

Devouring one more Yalaman mangrove root, and this thing would be completely useless.

The changes to the midnight rose were not limited to these.

One night later.

There were many unfamiliar figures on the ship.

In the cabin where the crafting table was located, there were two more skeleton craftsmen.

Under Midnight's command, they were working hard without a moment's rest, adding bricks and tiles to build a beautiful ghost ship.

The Banshee that acted as a porter in the Bone Burial Cargo Hold was gone, and in its place, there were three drowned water ghosts!

You have to say, these water ghosts, transformed from the souls of sailors, were handy at handling these miscellaneous chores; one could say it was their area of expertise.

Gloomy Zen Realm.

A ghost farmer was leveling the tomb soil ridges, providing the necessary high-quality soil for the future planting of yin-attribute plants.

It was just that... the scene of digging up a few bones from the soil from time to time did look a bit scary.

After a quick inventory, Su Ming's previously installed various auxiliary facilities all had corresponding undead guarding them. Although the number was small, the basic functions had been fully activated.

Currently.

The Death-Speak Helm was still missing a helmsman.

The Soul-Soothing Tea Pavilion was still missing a few attendants.

The Delusion Lookout was still missing a sentry.

But Su Ming was not in a hurry. With the efficiency of the Dead Remains Furnace.

At most, in two more days, all the aforementioned gaps would be filled. By then, the midnight rose would usher in another wave of functional iteration and strengthening.

Don't think these auxiliary facilities were useless. Not to mention anything else, the environment of the Gloomy Zen Realm was most suitable for the growth and cultivation of yin-attribute crops.

It couldn't be more suitable as a medicinal garden.

The dense aura of death in the Bone Burial Cargo Hold could subtly enhance the performance of yin-attribute materials. Other materials stuffed inside could also have their shelf life extended. The space, which was as large as several basketball courts, could also meet the needs of the midnight rose for independent long-distance voyages.

The effect of the Death-Speak Helm was reflected in the fact that after full activation, the ship's turning flexibility would be doubled.

---Seeking Flowers 0---

Resting briefly in the Soul-Soothing Tea Pavilion could treat mental trauma and accelerate wound healing.

After the sentry of the Delusion Lookout was in position, the midnight rose would have the ability to detect invisible units... although this effect was likely useless in the One Piece World.

From this, it could be seen.

The Abyssal Sea Game Field was indeed too authoritative.

So authoritative that Su Ming even suspected. Could the so-called Abyssal Sea Game Field be something that a few powerful deities who controlled the authority of the ocean had gone crazy and created behind the backs of others?

Yikes! —— Su Ming shuddered. He hurriedly shook his head to shake off the extra thoughts in his mind.

No matter how authoritative the Abyssal Sea Game Field was, how could it compare to the Comprehensive Network, right?

Just then.

The tree root in front was devoured, the Yellow Spring River of Death paused slightly, and Midnight bowed to ask for Su Ming's opinion:

"Master, should we continue to look for other Yalaman mangrove roots, or turn towards the Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Prioritize strengthening the ship. Let's find the Yalaman mangrove roots first..." After a pause, Su Ming added: "As for the Sabaody Archipelago, come back in the last few days."

Su Ming did not know how disgusting the Celestial Dragons could be.

But he also knew himself.

With the Celestial Dragons' nature, which could not even be described by being overbearing, Su Ming dared to guarantee.

If he stepped onto the territory of the Sabaody Archipelago, it wouldn't take long before the three admirals of the Navy would rush to support, and the entire Grand Line, and even the whole world, would tremble.

——Don't underestimate the gold content of the Fourth Calamity!

A guy who could always carry four mushroom bombs in his arms was even less likely to be a savior.

The Yellow Spring River of Death continued to extend, and in the process, the Sea Stone that shimmered sporadically on the seabed was brought back by the Banshee who went out treasure hunting, not a single one left behind.

The undersea copper ore and large areas of combustible ice that were useless to the midnight rose were not wasted either, all going into Su Ming's backpack.
