Chapter 64: Companions, the Ninth Day. Does this mean the main storyline of the game has appeared?

Companion Day 9:

Wendy's idea was simple - since the Sabaody Archipelago was where there were more Celestial Dragons, she might as well fight more of them!

Anyway, the Celestial Dragon clothing set isn't repairable and has durability, so I can stockpile some for later. This collar looks pretty useful, so I'll stockpile some more. They can be stacked in the pack anyway... So, maybe two sets, so 80 pieces isn't too much, right?

The slave in question had a dazed look on his face, seemingly still in shock. However, since he was being asked, he obediently replied, "Yes... there might be others on this street... and there should be other Celestial Dragons at the human auction on the 1st."

The slave had already realized that the person before him might not be a Celestial Dragon, because the words used by the blonde girl clearly did not classify herself as a Celestial Dragon...

Thinking of this, she bravely added, "Sir, there are also many slaves at the human auction, and they all have collars like ours."

She watched Wendy take off all the slave collars and seemed to put them away herself, so she guessed that the collar might be useful to this person, so she added a sentence.

Wendy nodded to show that she understood and turned away.

After she disappeared, the crowd, which had been motionless as if paused, finally began to stir—but instead of gathering together, they fled.

They all knew the seriousness of the incident before their eyes—a Celestial Dragon had died! And he had been killed by another Celestial Dragon!

The offending Celestial Dragon was likely safe. He was probably of a higher status, after all, he looked the most arrogant of the Celestial Dragons they had ever encountered... He wasn't even willing to pay them! He even stole the slaves, then took their collars! He looked like a bandit!

But they are in great danger - based on experience, if they fail to deal with that Celestial Dragon, they may be killed by the other family members of the dead Celestial Dragon!

Among this group of people, the three former slaves ran the fastest, using all their strength to run.

The pirate who was being used as a mount stood up shakily. Because he had been kneeling and crawling on the ground for too long, his running posture seemed stiff and he even fell to the ground several times. However, he did not stop for a moment. Even if he had to roll and crawl, he had to escape from this hell that had trapped him for a long time.

Not long after the slave who had been talking to Wendy ran away, a girl who looked somewhat similar to her suddenly came up to her and covered her with a cloak to hide her figure.

"elder sister……"

"Idiot! If you come over now, you'll be in danger if I get caught again! Get away from me!"

"I don't want to! Last time, my sister was captured because I was too far away from her! I don't want to leave her even if we're captured together!"

"……Fool."

The two sisters ran, hid in a small alley and hid in a corner, which gave them a chance to catch their breath.

After the two of them had some free time, they hugged each other and talked about what had happened before.

"I have to thank that lady... Although I don't know who she is, and I know she didn't save me on purpose, I was saved because of her. If I can survive, I must repay this kindness in the future." The sister who was once a slave touched her neck. There was still a residual feeling of being strangled, but now there was no restraint at all. She couldn't help but shed tears, and her expression gradually became firm.

The younger sister beside him showed a hint of hesitation. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I might know who she is... She called herself... [Player] back then. And she said that players are the ones who rule this world."

Dominate this world...?

My sister closed her eyes and bowed her head as if in prayer, her voice tinged with sorrow: "If there truly is a ruler of this world... it doesn't matter if it's a god who toyed with human fate. Please grant us a glimmer of hope..."

Seeing her sister like this, the younger sister also began to cry and hugged her sister tighter.

"Don't cry, sister. The commotion here is too great. The general will surely come later. Let's hide for a while... After the general leaves, we'll leave here and find a place to start over."

While the two sisters were hiding anxiously, the Navy Admiral was indeed called in to deal with the situation on Street 31.

This time it was Aokiji who came - in fact, Kizaru should have been the fastest, but Aokiji was angered by the angry Vice Admiral Garp and felt that he could not stand the harassment from the other party, so he decided to come over.

Although he didn't like the Celestial Dragons and even less the job of protecting them, being beaten by Vice Admiral Garp at headquarters wasn't a good thing, with his colleagues watching and gloating over his misfortune.

What made him even more speechless was that after Garp said that it was because of him that his beloved daughter, who originally liked the navy, decided to hate the navy and now liked a pirate, Kizaru and Akainu actually stood on Garp's side and mocked him in a sarcastic tone!

I won't mention anything else, let alone when Wendy became Garp's daughter. Where on earth did Sakaski (Akainu) get the confidence to accuse him of not understanding girls and thus causing trouble?! Aokiji felt like if he stayed any longer, he'd have to fight Akainu first.

In short, due to the combination of these reasons, he appeared here.

The navy has captured some civilians who were hiding and began to inquire about the cause and effect of this incident.

It's just that this group of civilians, whether they've colluded secretly or for some other reason, are telling the same story...

"It was the Celestial Dragons who killed the Celestial Dragons!!!" A group of people answered in a deafening voice.

Aokiji: “…”

Aokiji: "Be more specific."

After staring at each other for a moment, the group replied in unison, "It was a Celestial Dragon who was even more Celestial than the Celestial Dragons who killed the Celestial Dragons!!!"

Aokiji: “…” Has it been upgraded to a tongue twister?

***

Wendy didn't care what would happen after she left.

After all, if there are important subsequent plot points, they will always be played in front of her! Even in games where you can skip, important plot points will still be forced for players to understand.

She was currently rushing towards the human auction No. 1.

Although Hawkeye had warned against entering a high-risk area, she was now leading the invincible Abigail, so the high-risk area was nothing! She had also equipped herself with armor, even hiding a set of marble armor with 95% defense, so she was fearless in the high-risk area!

While Aokiji was still trying to figure out her criminal process, she had already killed a lot of people at the human auction on the 1st. Abigail's group attack killed not only the Celestial Dragon and his bodyguards, but also other nobles who did not have time to escape.

After all, Abigail, who has loaded a powerful mod, can kill civilians more easily than bees!

Looking at the people lying on the ground, Wendy first took the collar from the neck of the auction item on the stage. The auction item was very grateful and told her the clues to other collars. She rushed into the backstage to search for some more and was very happy to see that the number of her collars had reached 20+.

Although we haven't reached a group yet, reaching double digits is a good thing! This is the joy of harvest!

When the auction items, having regained their freedom, were fleeing, Wendy went over and stripped the clothes off the two Celestial Dragons, picking up useful items.

Perhaps because there were too many people in the group attack or because the other party was equipped with defensive gear, one of the Celestial Dragons hadn't completely lost consciousness. He woke up while she was pulling at her suit and asked her in a trembling voice, "Who... are you...? You know that if you behave like this... the Knights of God will judge you..."

...What's this NPC babble about? Does he have connections in some knightly order? He's trying to use his connections to pressure me?

Wendy looked down at him and said coldly, "What Knights of God can judge me? My uncle is the one who sits on the supreme Nightmare Throne. I am only afraid of his assistant Charlie. Everyone else is nothing."

That's right, only Old Mac's assistant Charlie can give the player a fatal blow in the dark. As for others, she is not afraid of even Old Mac himself!

The other party was obviously shocked by her arrogant attitude. He looked at him in disbelief and asked tremblingly: "What did you say? You... Are you Lord Yimu's..."

The other party seemed to be greatly stimulated. He rolled his eyes and fainted before he could finish his words.

At this time, the system had a prompt sound.

Wendy opened it and saw a reminder of the new plot.

[Secret of the Celestial Dragons ③] [In Progress]: After you caused a disturbance at the human auction in the Sabaody Archipelago, you learned from the Celestial Dragons you defeated that the person currently sitting on the throne is named Im...

Wendy blinked, a trace of confusion crossing her face. What? Because of the world change update, my uncle changed his name to Yimu? That's not as impressive as Maxwell... But does this mean the main storyline has arrived? So my main quest is to rescue Old Yi from the throne?

Wendy thought for a while and decided to ignore it for the time being and just take what she wanted first.

After taking it, she still held on to a glimmer of hope and used the tentacle spikes to hit it again, but still nothing dropped. She gave up in disappointment - she had thought that this NPC with a special plot would have some good things...

Just as she finished her work and was about to leave, she heard a noise outside.

Is it the high-risk area boss? — Wendy hesitated a little, then decided to be cautious. She took out the bush hat and put on disguise, then adjusted her sister to rage mode and prepared to attack.

The one who came in was Aokiji.

He looked at the people lying on the ground and the white ghost who was obviously in a state of anger, and couldn't help but gasp - this time was much worse than last time...

"Are you the only one here? Where is your sister?" Aokiji asked, looking at the white ghost.

Of course Abigail would not answer him, and the only response to him was to move forward and attack.

"It seems that negotiation is impossible..." Aokiji sighed, his expression becoming more serious. "I'm sorry, since I encountered you this time, and you were the one who attacked me, I can't just ignore it like last time..."

Aokiji said this and activated his ability. In an instant, countless icicles grew from the ground and pierced forward.

Wendy's disguise, hidden in the bush hat, was also affected. Seeing that her wooden armor was 20% broken and her health suddenly dropped by 10 points, she calmly changed into marble armor in secret.

Don't panic, this trick is the same as the winter BOSS. She has experience with it. At worst, she can get up and move to avoid it later.

But she also grew a little serious. This was her first boss-level battle, and Abigail's condition... huh? Wait? Abigail's health remained the same? And yet, Aokiji's ice had clearly penetrated Abigail's ghostly form...

Wendy observed with a puzzled look on her face. After a moment, she suddenly discovered a very important problem - Aokiji's ice all came out from the ground and went up!

In other words, Aokiji's attack is a ground attack!

It is known that Abigail is an air unit, Aokiji is a ground unit, and we also know that ground units cannot attack air units, so we can conclude that Aokiji cannot attack Abigail.

Wendy suddenly realized - so this is just like fighting an ant lion, she can skip class without getting hurt!
