Chapter 138 World News Day 3 (470,000 Nutrient Solution Plus Update)...

World News Day 3:

Sabo brought the latest issue of the newspaper. It was not entirely accurate to say that it was news about Wendy... because it did not mention Wendy herself, but it did talk about everything Wendy had done.

Because the headline of the newspaper was - [Naval Research Institute Raided?! Vegapunk and the Navy Admiral Missing!].

The accompanying picture is a distant shot of Egghead Island, which has turned into a scorched earth, and the naval warships stationed around the island.

"Because Mom's actions were so secretive, she only relied on teleportation signs to get in and out. And since that's a naval base, it's inaccessible, so the newspaper probably doesn't know who did it," Sabo pondered. "After all, it's guarded by the navy, so ordinary people can't get close. Even if reporters could get close, they wouldn't be able to land on the island... The only witnesses of the battle were Kizaru, who arrived early. The most they could have noticed was that the admiral was missing. And since it involved the Five Elders, Eggman Island was definitely under martial law after that, making it difficult for reporters to get close or infiltrate."

"Morgans was under pressure to publish this report, and they might even have acted on their own initiative. The World Government isn't so easy to deal with." Crocodile snorted. "According to the World Government's style, they should either say Kizaru was deceived by Wendy Carter and defected, with Vegapunk as his token of loyalty, or they should frame someone else. There's no way they'll reveal the truth and make Wendy Carter famous."

After all, Wendy's current status as one of the Five Emperors is largely due to her previous actions in the Sabaody Archipelago and her declaration to Marijoa. She's more surrounded by scandals than authority, and this is her biggest weakness at the moment. However, if she manages to destroy Eggman Island and kidnap Vegapunk, she'll be a true ruler of the sea, even worthy of competing for the title of Pirate King.

Crocodile thought so, his eyes involuntarily following Wendy... and saw her simmering away over there, happily discussing with Hawkeye: "I've harvested a new crop of peppers, and I can make stir-fried stuffed peppers! This will also warm you up! But it will cost you 5 sanity points, so don't eat too much."

Hawkeye replied to her: "Then tell Ace."

Crocodile: “…”

He really couldn't tell whether Wendy Carter was truly clueless and had stumbled onto this point, or whether she was playing dumb and secretly orchestrating everything...

Forget it, at least Wendy Carter now has a son who can think and speak normally...

Crocodile looked at Sabo, who had already walked over to the cooking pot and echoed, "We really need to talk to Ace about this. He's the only one in our family who loves spicy food the most. If he eats too much, the cumulative side effects will be bad. Mom also said that Ace has the lowest base SAN value among the three of us brothers."

Crocodile: "..." Forget it, he is Wendy Carter's child after all, what extra expectations can I have?

The result of being angry too many times is that the threshold gradually increases. Crocodile actually feels that he has become somewhat accustomed to it. Not only is he not angry, but he can even ask in a relatively calm manner: "Hey, Wendy Carter, do you want to claim this?"

"Claim what?" Wendy looked confused.

"Of course, I'm taking responsibility for your attack on Egghead Island..."

"I didn't attack them. It was clearly the Shadow Five who vandalized them." Wendy said angrily, hands on her hips. "I just burned some wood because it was too cold!"

"Really?" Crocodile was stunned for a moment, then believed what the other party said - after all, Wendy Carter's personality didn't seem like the type that would destroy an island.

"Mom, I think Mr. Crocodile wants to ask you if you want to tell the world that Vegapunk is with you, and announce to the world that you are capable of competing with the World Government," Sabo explained. "If you do, you will be in more trouble."

Hawkeye saw Wendy still looking confused and explained, "If you tell me, there will be more hostile forces and people might compete with you for Vegapunk, but at the same time, more people will want to be your subordinates."

Wendy frowned and hummed, finishing her thought under the gaze of the three people. "Then I'll claim it. If someone comes to snatch Lao Bei, it means I can get more drops."

Crocodile felt relieved and even liked Wendy better. "Not bad, Wendy Carter. This is the spirit that a sea king should have..."

He paused in the middle of his praise, his expression changing - why was he praising this guy! It wasn't like he was really going to become his general!

***

Wendy wrote a letter to the newspaper, stating that she was the one who did the Egghead Island thing. Morgans was very excited when he saw the letter... but at the same time he felt very sorry - the letter could not be published this time.

Because the World Government has put pressure on us, and has stated that the story of Egghead Island cannot be published...

If he already had important evidence, such as a photo of Wendy on Egghead Island, or a crucial duel scene, he would definitely publish this big news regardless of the World Government's threats, and even deify Wendy and declare that she was preparing to establish a new World Government...

However, because there was only Wendy's statement, the authenticity of the news was suddenly reduced a lot. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only regretfully hold back for the time being.

However, he has always been very attentive to Wendy, and this time he specially wrote a letter to express his apology.

When the Eternal Continent Pirates received Morgans' letter, Wendy was giving Ace banana jelly - because he had eaten too much stir-fried stuffed peppers and they heated up too quickly and started to catch fire, and the banana jelly could cool him down.

Wendy was still a little angry: "Ace, you're such a waste of food!"

Ace apologized obediently: "Sorry, Wendy, I'll go harvest some new crops to fill the refrigerator later."

Wendy: "Then go pick the bananas first. They're ripe."

Hawkeye, who was passing by, added, "The bananas were harvested before Sabo left. Judging by the time, the tomatoes and dragon pies are already ripe. Let Ace go to Island No. 2 to harvest them."

After all, Sabo still has important tasks for the Revolutionary Army, especially since he has just taken up the position of Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army and become the second-in-command of the organization. It is already the limit for him to take a few days off to come here. Seeing that there is no problem on Wendy's side, he went back with Kuma. He also had to report back to the Revolutionary Army about Wendy's solo kill of the Five Elders on Eggman Island and taking away Vegapunk and Kizaru.

Ace nodded, "Got it!"

Wendy stopped him: "Robin is in charge of Islands 1 and 2. Her fruit ability is very efficient. She can go there."

Hawkeye replied to her: "Robin and Tom went to Island 13 to collect wood. They won't be back for a while."

Wendy immediately changed her tone: "Then you go ahead, Ace. I'll plant new seeds after you finish harvesting."

Crocodile, who came with the letter, felt a headache when he saw this scene.

He always felt that with daily routines like this, he wouldn't be too surprised if one day Wendy Carter said she was tired of playing and didn't want to fight for supremacy anymore, and that she wanted to take Hawkeye and her children and her family back to Kraikana Island to farm.

Especially after turning around and seeing Vegapunk, the scientist who was supposed to be researching high-tech weapons, was actually studying the crops that Wendy had planted, and that Kizaru was actually helping to harvest the crops... Although there was also a reason why Vegapunk asked him to help...

But what's going on? Why do these people become so unfashionable when they're associated with Wendy Carter?!

Crocodile felt that he was out of place, and it was definitely not because he would cause desertification and Wendy forbade him to go near the fields.

"Hello, Wendy Carter, there's a letter from Morganse." Crocodile shouted.

Wendy immediately ran over to him and took the letter away. Then she looked at it carefully, frowned, looked up at Crocodile, and said in a complaining tone, "Croco, Morgans said that the World Government said that my letter cannot be published."

"Isn't this normal?" Crocodile was not surprised. "Because doing this already shows how dangerous you are. If you announce it to give you fame, they will lose face."

Wendy puffed up her cheeks in anger.

Ace came over and poked her face curiously, but was hit by Wendy with a walking cane.

"So who are they going to say did this?" Ace rubbed the spot on his head where he was hit and joined in the conversation. "Aren't they worried that Wendy will just beat up anyone they mention? And Old Bay is on our side."

"There's someone who knows this better than any of us," Hawkeye said, looking toward the door. "Right, Admiral?"

"Don't be so scary, specifically mentioning the navy. I thought you, a navy hunter, were going to start hunting." Kizaru walked in from the doorway, looked at Wendy, and asked, "My dear player, if I can help you and not run away, can you help me remove this from my hand?"

"Hey? You're not going to run away, okay..." Wendy said as she was about to go over to help remove the seastone handcuffs, but was stopped by Crocodile and Hawkeye, who each held one of her shoulders.

Hawkeye: "Wait a moment."

Crocodile: "Don't believe everything others say!"

"That look is truly terrifying... I'm not lying." Kizaru said lazily, his gaze fixed on the letter from Morgans. "Since we can't find the person responsible for this, I'll have to take the blame."

He knew very well that if the incident on Egghead Island had not been reported in the newspapers, everything could have ended quietly and he would have received the punishment after returning... But if it happened, in order to prevent the truth from being leaked, he would have only two options: take the blame and become an undercover agent or simply turn against the government.

Several people were stunned.

Kizaru lowered his gaze to Wendy: "Mr. Player, can I talk to you alone?"

***

Wendy agreed.

And once she made a decision, it could not be changed - because Crocodile could not change, and Hawkeye, who could be persuaded, did not care, and Ace stood on her side.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to that island even if I would have been scolded..." Kizaru sighed, regret evident in his expression. He then looked at Wendy, "Speaking of which... I'd like to ask, Mr. Player, what is your ultimate goal? To capture Mary Geoise?"

The ultimate goal?

Wendy blinked, looked at him, and said, "I'm going to Mary Geoise to rescue my uncle and get him off the throne."

...Wendy Carter's uncle is indeed the invisible king of Mary Geoise. He should be even above the Five Elders. He is an existence that no one knows about... No, it should be said that only some high-level Celestial Dragons know about it.

She's quite the little princess... I wonder how she got involved with the Revolutionary Army. If her identity is revealed, I'm afraid some of those who see her as a savior won't be able to handle it.

After a moment of silence, Kizaru asked again, "And then? Are you going to sit on it?"

Wendy responded cheerfully, "Yes!"

Huang Yuan was startled to hear her agree so readily, and asked again: "What happens after you sit on it?"

Wendy blinked, looking puzzled, feeling that what he said was nonsense: "Of course I'm coming down."

Who wants to be trapped in the Nightmare Throne and unable to move?

"...Come down?" Kizaru was stunned and asked, "What happens after that? What about the throne? If you don't sit on it, someone else will always sit on it..."

"Then smash it." Wendy frowned and made a great declaration lightly.

Anyway, after the story is over, this thing is useless. I might as well smash it and see what it drops... Ah, if it drops blueprints, I'd like to install one at home. It would be really cool. - Wendy thought.
