Chapter 115 Celestial Body Preparation Day 13 (Two-in-one, nutrient solution 3...

Celestial Preparation Day 13:

Wendy knew nothing about CP0's report. Even if she had seen it, she'd probably be shocked: "What? This is my main quest?"

But fortunately she didn't see it, so her main storyline is still simple: fighting monsters, collecting items and building a home.

Gild Tesoro came to visit because he learned about the Big Mom tea party and thought Wendy should be with the Red Hair Pirates.

Although the reason for this guess was a bit wrong, the result was right. He successfully met Wendy - but it was not him who came to visit the Red Hair Pirates, but Wendy who came to meet him.

Hawkeye was also traveling with them.

This is actually normal. Although Wendy has a good relationship with Shanks, and there are rumors in the newspaper that the two of them are in a "yes, we have a child" relationship, she is not a member of the Red Hair Pirates after all.

In Gild Tesoro's eyes, this further confirmed his previous thoughts - Red Hair and Hawkeye were indeed subordinates of the player!

"Long time no see, Miss Wendy." Tesoro stepped forward and bowed politely. "I'm sorry for coming over so suddenly, but I really want to see you again..."

He looked completely different from the shabby one when we first met. He looked wealthy from head to toe, wearing a suit and tie, with a slicked-back hair, and his body was covered in glittering gold jewelry.

Wendy nodded: "Even if you don't come, I will come to find you!" After all, she has a new task to complete from Tom.

Tezoro realized that as my power expanded, Lord Carter came to me with new instructions!

"Yes." Tezulo lowered his head. "What are your orders?"

Even though there was no meeting in between, based on the previous letters, Tesoro thought he had already offered his loyalty, and Wendy's reply asking him to collect materials related to Pluto also told him the big secret of building Pluto. To some extent, she also regarded him as a trusted person.

Wendy, who was practically a sieve and would tell anyone who asked, nodded. "Uncle Tom said you were going to build a giant ship. He's given me his blueprints. Give me the materials, and I'll help you build it."

"What..." Tesoro suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise on his face. "I didn't expect you to come in person... I'm really terrified. May I ask what your relationship is with Tom, the shipwright?"

Wendy answered honestly, "Uncle Tom is my companion and my blueprint collection."

Tezulo translated it automatically in his mind - he is my subordinate, and he designs blueprints for me.

"I see..." Tezoro suddenly realized and was not very surprised.

After all, players want the best. Tom, the world's greatest shipwright, Tom, the world's greatest swordsman. Whitebeard, though considered the strongest man, was already old. So, she personally took matters into her own hands, risking her own reputation and using gossip to build momentum for Red Hair, helping him quickly become the youngest of the Four Emperors.

Tesoro secretly made up his mind that he would become the richest man in the world so that he would be worthy of the title of Lord Player's subordinate.

However, he did not forget his purpose and said, "The matter of my ship can be put on hold... I have already collected the materials you asked me to collect. Please follow me."

These words made Wendy and Hawkeye stunned.

However, their subsequent reactions were different.

Wendy was simply happy, while Hawkeye was wondering if there was any procedure required to quit the Seven Warlords of the Sea... Well, could he just quit directly?

The two went to Tesoro's territory - it was magnificent and Tesoro already had many subordinates.

Wendy looked at the golden statue and eagerly took out her pickaxe to attack it... but Hawkeye held her shoulder.

Hawkeye whispered, "Get the Pluto materials first."

Although Gild Tesoro seemed to treat Wendy as a boss...it was still necessary to be on the safe side.

Wendy thought this made sense and put it away. If there were too much Pluto material and there wasn't enough space in the backpack, it would be a shame not to have enough gold.

But Hawkeye's worries were unnecessary. Even if Wendy destroyed everything, Gild Tezulo would still considerately ask if she could carry it.

Especially after Wendy accepted his materials, stuffed Hawkeye's backpack with them because there was no more space, and then looked at the backpack with no empty space with regret and decided to give up the gold. She turned around and told Tesoro to build the giant ship he needed.

Tesoro had already prepared the materials. Wendy didn't even need to pack up her backpack. She just stood there and put all the materials in under the watchful eyes of Tesoro and his confidants. A giant ship was formed in the system's production column in a second. She turned around and asked Tesoro, "Where do you want to put your ship?"

Tezulo was stunned as he looked at the pile of materials that disappeared in an instant. Upon hearing this, he said directly, "I'll take you to the dock."

Wendy nodded, and then, in full view of everyone, she placed the giant ship directly on the water. She raised her hand to wipe the non-existent sweat from her forehead and sighed, "Huh—this is the first time I've built something this big. I almost don't know how to put it in."

It was tiring for her to find the grid on the sea surface and look for the placement! She moved around for a long time before she found a place where she could successfully place the card!

Of course, to Wendy this was just daily routine, but to Hawkeye this was the largest ship Wendy had ever built.

In the eyes of Tezulo and his men...

…God, a miracle! — Several people were shocked.

Tezoro looked at Wendy, and for a moment he felt like crying.

He knew that Wendy was amazing (true), and that she had enough ambition, careful plans, and lofty goals (false), making her worthy of his following and huge investment (doubtful)... But when the evidence was truly before him, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Because he felt that by following Wendy Carter, he might be able to witness scenes that he had not dared to imagine in his despair.

When everyone was speechless, Wendy went to the boat first and put up a wooden sign with the words "Tesoro's Home" written on it. Then she turned to Tesoro and said, "If you need anything in the future, just write to me or call me in the newspaper. I'll use this to send the sign over."

Tezoro took note carefully - the teleportation sign... Could it be used to teleport people directly?

Although this wooden sign looks ordinary and even crude, Tezoro has already decided to build a safe house for the wooden sign.

Wendy's purpose in coming here was simple: to complete Uncle Tom's order and take the Pluto materials. After completing that, she prepared to leave.

Gild Tesoro sent his men off and escorted Wendy to her ship alone. As they parted, he glanced at Hawkeye, who was standing beside him. Then, leaning down, he whispered to Wendy, "Lord Carter, after building Pluto, what is your next goal..."

...Huh? Could this NPC be the main story guide?

Wendy blinked, not shying away from sharing: "Then we'll crash into the Sabaody Archipelago, obtain the Waterwood, build a second home in the New World, and find Vegapunk to activate the Celestial Line."

These few words contained so much information that Tesoro was stunned. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Vegapunk? That scientist? I remember he cooperated with the World Government..."

"Yeah." Wendy nodded, "So I might have to fight the Shadow Five gays then."

"...Shadow Five gays?"

"They are the Five Elders of Mary Geoise."

...As expected of you, Mr. Player! — Seeing Wendy's nonchalant manner, Tesoro was completely impressed.

Hawkeye spoke at this time: "Wendy, go back to the ship and sort out the materials first, I will talk to him."

"Okay." Wendy nodded without any doubt and prepared to go and count the materials excitedly.

And Hawkeye stared at Gild Tesoro after Wendy left.

Just as he was about to speak, Tezulo smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "I will not reveal Mr. Player's plan, please rest assured."

At this time, he specifically mentioned Wendy's player account to prove that he already knew about it.

……Um?

Hawkeye observed carefully, and after confirming that the other party was speaking sincerely, he nodded and said, "That would be best."

Otherwise he would have to get rid of this person.

"As a subordinate of Lord Carter, I will naturally do my utmost to achieve Lord Carter's goals and help him ascend to the throne!" Tesoro's tone was filled with a hint of uncontrollable enthusiasm. "Lord Carter's next step is to build Pluto, right? Will it be located on Red Hair's territory?"

...Who are the subordinates?

Hawkeye frowned and replied, "No, Wendy will find another place in the New World."

"What? Does Red Hair disagree? Isn't he a little too arrogant?" Tezulo frowned. "It seems that he is just cooperating with Lord Carter, not an affiliate... Lord Carter should still be careful."

Hawkeye understood that this person probably misunderstood a lot.

But explaining it was too troublesome, and since the misunderstanding was in Wendy's favor, he just let it go and didn't bother to clarify. He just nodded and said, "It's okay if you think so."

As for the misunderstanding that he was a subordinate...

Anyway, just because you offered to give her something, Wendy will definitely invite you to her wedding. — Hawkeye thought.

"There's one more thing I'm afraid you need to pay attention to," Hawkeye said. "Wendy wants Vegapunk to join her, and his experiments require a lot of funding..."

Tezulo immediately understood: "Give me another three years... no, two years, and I'll be able to collect at least 10% of the world's wealth!"

***

Wendy had no idea that Tezulo was already her loyal follower. She had thought he was just like the wandering merchant in the game, someone she could trade with. And it looked like he could be an investment.

Look, she gave a devil fruit and gained new devil fruits and accessories; she gave a giant ship and returned her Pluto materials.

Because there were quite a lot of materials in this wave, and Tesoro thought Wendy was building so there would be losses, he gave her some extra materials. Wendy found it very troublesome to sort them out, so she said something to Hawkeye and teleported back home to sort out the materials first.

Just as Hawkeye was about to fall into a deafening silence after receiving a new newspaper and reading the headline: "For Red Hair or Hawkeye? Wendy Carter Speaks at Big Mom's Tea Party, Saying She Wants to Become the New Five Emperors," Wendy teleported back and excitedly slid over to him, announcing, "I've built Pluto! Just carry it with you, put it down, and drive it! Let's try it today and crash into the Sabaody Archipelago!"

Hawkeye looked at her, then at the newspaper, and felt that Morganse was very lucky.

In a few days, this content will be out of date. After all, once Pluto is released, everyone will know that Wendy is definitely one of the new world overlords.

After all, Pluto’s first stop is the Sabaody Archipelago.

Hawkeye closed the half-read newspaper in his hand, set it aside, and asked another important question: "You crashed into the Sabaody Archipelago to obtain the water wood, right? But you haven't decided where to build a home in the New World yet. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"Oh...yes." Wendy suddenly realized and began to fall into deep thought. She opened the map and looked at it thoughtfully.

Hawkeye was still talking about something else: "Besides, if Pluto is built, it will need someone to watch over it all the time, and you don't have enough subordinates now."

"Then let Ace open it." Wendy immediately had a choice.

...This person really made the most of his child. — Hawkeye thought to himself.

But he wouldn't object. Firstly, he never objected to Wendy's decisions on any major matter, and secondly... he actually thought Ace was more suitable to come.

This time, in addition to the sharp confrontations over Wendy's issue, there was another very important topic in his conversation with Red Hair, which was about Ace.

Hawkeye took the initiative to bring up this with Red Hair, just wanting to know whether Roger had revealed the existence of his child to his crew members.

"Although Captain Roger's sword was named Ace, and he once said he wanted to name his son Ace...but he never told us about Ace's existence from the time he disembarked until his execution. I imagine others would simply recall the name and not raise any suspicions. Now, the outside world probably thinks it's your and Wendy's child, right? Don't you plan to clarify?"

[The Admiral of the Navy once came to Kraikana Island. At that time, Ace and Luffy were taken over by Wendy to... ahem, play.]

"I see... You acknowledged Ace back then, didn't you? That's fine. But if he becomes famous in the future, it'll still attract the attention of the World Government. Are you and Wendy okay?"

Hawkeye was silent for a long time at that time.

Because he didn't know how to tell Shanks that from his observation, being Wendy's son was much more dangerous than being the son of the Pirate King.

[It doesn't matter. Besides, for Wendy, once it's her child, no one else can take it away from her.]

Shanks seemed very happy when he heard this, and laughed exaggeratedly: [Hahahahaha, then Luffy really became the child of Wendy and me! ]

Hawkeye silently deleted his friend in his heart, but remained silent on the surface: "Try saying this in front of Luffy's father."

Shanks looked surprised: [Huh? So Luffy's father is still alive? Then is it okay for Wendy to just take the child away?]

[…She did it secretly, and I guess Luffy’s father doesn’t know about it yet.]

[Hahahaha! That's really her style!] Shanks, having laughed enough, let his exaggerated smile fade. [Speaking of which... there's something I need your attention... According to my sources, CP0 has been investigating Wendy's case and may have recently reached a conclusion and reported it. If her target hasn't changed, we'd better act quickly. If she hasn't chosen a stopover point on Pluto, she can temporarily stay on my territory.]

…

…………

"Mihawk?" Wendy called out, her tone filled with confusion.

Hawkeye came back to his senses from his memories and looked at her: "What's the matter?"

Wendy was unhappy and a little angry: "You're not even paying attention to what I'm saying!"

"Sorry, I just thought of something." Hawkeye replied, "Are you talking about Ace? Didn't they set a line for themselves and go out to sea after they turn 17? He will be out next year, and you can ask him to help you then."

In recent years, the children have come to Kraikana Island to celebrate the New Year every year. When they get noisy, they often form groups to challenge Hawkeye. Hawkeye has nothing to do, so he teaches a group of baboons and three monkeys. Naturally, he knows the abilities of the three of them.

Considering Ace's strength, he will definitely become famous once he goes out to sea.

It's still okay now. Even if it's discovered that he is the son of the Pirate King, if Garp wants to protect him, the Navy will probably just focus on observing him, and then take action if there's any unusual movement... But if Ace becomes famous and his identity is discovered, it will be easy for something to go wrong if he has no one to protect him.

At that time, they will either be recruited by the government to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and serve as a knife in the government's hands, or they will be surrounded and suppressed, because this identity is sensitive and special and can be easily used to make trouble.

The former is absolutely impossible.

Just like Ace's refusal to join the Navy, his awkward personality meant he couldn't possibly be confined to the Navy system. Furthermore, knowing his own mother had died in childbirth protecting him from the Navy's investigation and elimination efforts, he, who valued family ties, was unlikely to seek refuge there.

Hawkeye could see this problem very clearly - after all, although he wanted to complain every time Ace called him, he could also feel that the other party was relying on him implicitly, just like treating his father.

But he wasn't too surprised. After all, Ace could still feel the motherly love from Wendy, which he really found incredible.

But now, Wendy can really take on the role of a parent - if Wendy has become the fifth sea emperor of the New World by then, then the World Government will not dare to touch Ace easily.

At this time, Hawkeye, who was racking his brains to think about it, didn't know that because Wendy's identity was too special, what she had done was sensational enough, and even the risk assessment had long surpassed One Piece, the World Government directly defined Ace as Wendy and his son, and they didn't believe the evidence of the Pirate King's son even when it was right in front of them.

Because in their opinion, Wendy's son is more threatening than the Pirate King's son. As long as there is a 10% chance that the other party is Wendy's child, they should be treated as the more threatening one.

As for Ace himself...

[When did Sabo become the eldest son?!] Ace, upon seeing the newspaper, was so shocked that he called to protest, [When was this decided?! Wendy, you're biased!]

They clearly didn't distinguish between big and small at that time, and decided that the three brothers would be two older brothers and one younger brother, but they didn't compare who was older between Sabo and him!

At this time, Luffy was still on the phone, and after the line was busy, he ran to Ace and yelled, becoming the background sound: [How could Shanks lose! Even if his opponent was Mihawk, he wouldn't lose! ]

"Stupid Luffy! This isn't a fight like that. In this kind of fight, whoever Wendy chooses wins! Also, I'm talking about business right now. I'll let you talk about Shanks later!"

"Because Sabo agreed to be my child first." Wendy explained.

[…But you invited me to be your child first!]

"But Sabo agreed first." Wendy continued to coax him gently, "How about this, Sabo will be the eldest son, and I will give you the devil fruit I was going to give you."

In the end, Ace was easily coaxed, but he did not want the devil fruit. Even though Sabo also gave up the fruit, he decided to follow Wendy's original method. He and Sabo played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would take the devil fruit.

Because they couldn't meet in person, Wendy had to act as an arbitrator and remotely control the two of them, and in the end Ace won.

But he was still a little depressed because he lost the title of eldest son, even though the newspapers regarded him and Sabo as twins.

Wendy teleported over and gave Ace the devil fruit, and told him seriously that she would wait for him to help her open the Pluto and hit Shampoo Land to get Shuizi Mu, and then ran to Tom's studio to announce the news that she had built Pluto, which shocked everyone present.

Tom also specifically reminded that Pluto is a warship, and it will need to be loaded with fuel, shells, and some auxiliary accessories after the ship is built, and not be taken out easily.

Wendy nodded over there, and it was unclear whether she listened or not. Tom was a little worried and wanted to go over and help watch over it himself.

"Wendy, have you decided where to place Pluto?" Bingshan asked. He had seen the blueprints and knew the scale of Pluto, so he was particularly concerned about this.

"Yeah!" Wendy nodded, "I was thinking of finding a good place in the New World, but Mihawk said we could stay with Shanks for the time being. Shanks said so, and Mihawk agreed."

...They can actually coexist peacefully? What about your wedding with Hawkeye? Won't there be three of us at that wedding? — The three from Tom's Studio hesitated, not daring to ask directly, deciding to wait and see.

The newspaper said Hawkeye had won, and they were relieved. After all, Hawkeye had always been with Wendy, and Red Hair didn't seem to be a good match. But now the situation has become confusing again...

"But I will still look for a more suitable place in the New World first. After all, it feels quite tiring to drive such a big ship." Wendy said.

But when I looked for it, there was a problem.

Because it was more convenient for Wendy to teleport, she teleported all the way to the New World. When she was about to go directly to find Shanks, she suddenly found that the teleportation sign she had set up halfway was gone.

Wendy blinked, looking confused. She opened the wooden signs and saw that there were only a few of them left of the dozens of teleportation signs she had before: [Monchi's House], [Temporary], [Revolutionary Army], [Dragon's Ship], [Home], [Tom's Studio], [Ship], [Shanks' Room], [Lola's House], and [Tesoro's House].

It's common for wooden signs to be removed, but it's unusual for so many to be removed at once... What's going on? — Wendy tilted her head, looking confused.

But now... since the transfer station is gone, her satiety limit is not enough for her to reach Shanks in one breath... what should she do?

Wendy showed a distressed expression, thought about it, and soon came up with a solution. She took out her pancake boat that consumed the least materials, put it down with a snap, and started to slide with her driftwood paddle, ready to explore the unknown new area.

Wait until you die while exploring, then float directly to find Shanks to revive you. So easy!

While she was rowing diligently, not far away, a huge white whale-shaped ship...

"Dad! Someone's approaching! On a small raft! Looks like a castaway!"

Author's words: Guess where Wendy's Pluto will be placed [sunglasses]

And yes, the wooden sign was CP0 action. Although they went astray on the unimportant issues, they still grasped the key issues [rice dog]
