Chapter 41 The Player's Mental State
Crow, commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army, is a coal-man who ate the Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Coal-Coal Fruit.
Half a day ago, he received a message from Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, instructing him to retrieve a package from a deserted island and to follow the instructions in the letter inside the package.
A crow, draped in a coat of jet-black feathers, landed on the island, which was more accurately described as a reef than an island.
The area exposed above the sea is less than 100 square meters, and it is estimated that after the tide comes in, it will be only big enough for one person to stand on.
The entire island was bare with hardly any vegetation, making the package in a box placed in the center of the island stand out conspicuously.
The crow silently walked forward and opened the box, revealing a huge, purplish-green flower bud inside.
A piece of paper was pinned in the middle of the flower bud.
"Secretly plant this flower near the offices of the Five Elders in Mary Geoise. P.S.: Hide it well, don't let it be easily discovered." BY Long
crow:?
The crow stared at the flower bud, about half a person's height, with thick leaves. Though the petals' color was somewhat strange, it was a flower, wasn't it?
Why did the revolutionary army send flowers to the Five Elders?
Cursing them to be reincarnated and die quickly? You shouldn't send just one flower, you should send a wreath, and you shouldn't send it secretly, you should send it in a grand and public way.
The crow expressed its incomprehension.
However... since it was Long Sang's order, given his serious personality, it was most likely a special listening device, or a brilliant tool that could turn the tide at a crucial moment.
Anyway, it couldn't possibly be some kind of prank, haha.
The crow carried the box away from the island.
Violet rested her hand on her brow and looked up at the sky: "So many crows."
Dragon: "Ah, it's probably some wild animal that's been spotted."
In front of the two were bamboo rafts placed side by side on the sea, each with a newly planted carnivorous plant seed.
Unlike crops, each carnivorous plant can only produce one carnivorous plant seed after it is picked. To comfort Violet, whose dream of a leaf pulp factory was shattered, the dragon searched several islands before finally collecting three carnivorous plant seeds.
Vera: "So the remaining seed..."
Long chuckled happily, "It's a gift for Miaomiao, which I'll be giving to my 'old friend' later."
Violet: ?
What a wonderful gift!
Violet took out a translucent, purplish-green, jelly-like food that was dragged by a leaf from her pocket.
The jelly, shaped like a mountain peak and topped with green bubbles, bounced twice with great elasticity when Violet brought it out.
dragon:"……"
Has this child been acting strange lately? The food he's been cooking has been getting weirder and weirder!
Vera: "Try it, my new dessert, jelly salad."
Consuming two portions of leaf pulp and two twigs will allow you to make a jelly salad that restores 37.5 points of satiety and a full 50 points of sanity.
Aside from not being able to replenish blood, it's practically the perfect food.
Violet announced, "It's too easy to lose sanity after getting rained on during the rainy season. Dragon, we need to find more man-eating plants and plant them near the base. Once the production is stable, we can switch our main food to jelly salads."
Why replace fragrant meatballs with this extremely bizarre food?
Long rubbed his temples, only belatedly realizing another key word in Vera's words—dessert.
Violet has been studying dessert recipes lately, seemingly trying to make a deal with the Big Mom Pirates through these desserts.
Serving this kind of thing to the Big Mom Pirates...
Long squeezed Violet's thin shoulder, thinking it was hardly enough for Charlotte Linlin to punch.
Long: "Starting tomorrow, I will train with Luo every morning."
Vera looked up blankly: "...Huh?"
Long: "Let's start with running."
The kid's mentally challenged is beyond saving; at least he should be able to run fast. It's good, he can vent his energy, so he doesn't have nowhere to go when it rains all day and just spout one weird idea after another.
Dragon: "As for this salad, let's put it in the refrigerator for now. Who knows, someone with insufficient sanity might need it someday."
At the same time, Long secretly vowed that even if he was stupid, he would wear the flower wreath on his head every day for the next few days.
Even if Monkey D. Dragon starves to death, even if he loses all his sanity and goes insane, he will never eat a single bite of jelly salad!
no way!
——
The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, within the city of Pangaea.
The five elders, who hold the highest power in the world government, are gathered together for a meeting.
"Hmph!" Legal Martial God Topman Vochuli Saint snorted coldly, throwing a copy of the World Economic News onto the table. "That guy Morgans needs to be taught a lesson."
The headline on the newspaper page read in bold letters: "Navy and Whitebeard in fierce battle! World Government staff captured and missing."
Shepard X. Pitt, the God of Agriculture, lowered his brows: "The Whitebeard Pirates? Roger met Edward Newgate before he died, and we didn't cause him any trouble. Now he's jumping out on his own initiative."
Environmental War God Marcus Mazsan shook his head: "Now is not the time to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates. The list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea has not been fully finalized yet."
"The current Sea Emperors Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Edward Newgate are all members of the Rocks Pirates. If they join forces, it will be troublesome."
"Although the possibility is not high, we cannot deny the existence of such a future. We must find ways to destroy this possibility."
"The Sea Emperor should have another member. Are there any promising newcomers lately?"
"Jinbe, the current captain of the Sun Pirates, Doflamingo, and Shanks, who has recently emerged as a rising star..."
"Shanks, that's not..."
"Enough!" Topman Vochuli Saint, who spoke first, slammed his hand on the table. "Anyone who willingly falls from grace and abandons the glory of the Celestial Dragons is no longer one of us."
"Jinbe and Doflamingo are good. Once they offer themselves and prove themselves, we can give them a seat."
"As for Shanks... we still need to observe him further."
"What do you think of this girl, Shadow of the Devil? Should we invite her to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"Intelligence indicates she once targeted the CP department. It's best to eliminate such an insolent individual as soon as possible..."
Just then, Topman Vochuli suddenly felt the chair shake, as if something had gently bumped against the chair leg.
Who was shaking their leg during the meeting?
Topman Vochuli lowered his head and met the gaze of a huge green eye.
The eyeball grass suddenly sprang up and bit Topman Vochuli Saint's leg hard.
hp-20
The Five Elders all possess the power of immortality bestowed upon them by Lord Im, so such a small bite would be of no consequence to Topman Vochuli Saint.
But the fact that he was "bitten in the eye" made Topman Vochuli Saint wonder if he was still half asleep and was mentally disoriented.
"What's this?!"
"Is it surveillance, or... did they attack?"
"Is he a Devil Fruit user?!"
"Someone has dared to attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise again, and even did so inside Pangaea!"
For a moment, the Five Elders were shocked to see the man-eating flowers emerging from the smooth ground and stood up.
Izanbaron V. Nassjuro drew his famous sword from his waist and swung it towards the floor. The eerie eyeballs swept by the sword's wind turned into dust and disappeared into the air.
Izambalon V. Nassshuro Sei: "A trivial skill, not worth mentioning."
It's laughable that they would try to attack Pangu City with such a petty trick!
But before Izambaron V. Nassuro could even laugh out loud, a new eyeball sprouted on the cleaned floor.
Eyeball: "biu~"
biu!biu!biu!biu!
In just a few seconds, the eyeball that Izambaron V. Nasujuro Sei destroyed reappeared!
Izabaron V. Nasujuro: "Are you trying to challenge the authority of the Celestial Dragons?!"
Eyeball Grass: Biubiubiu!
Izambaron V. Nassuro: "A laughable fighting force that's not even worth mentioning, with absolutely no defensive capabilities!"
Eyeball Grass: Biubiubiu!
Izambaron V. Nassuro: "You clown, are you trying to provoke us?!"
Eyeball Grass: Biubibiu!
No matter how many methods the Five Elders used to destroy those strange eyeballs, they always managed to grow back unscathed the next second.
Like the weeds that can't be burned out, and like the garbage of the lower realm.
"Enough!" Topman Vochuli Saint, unable to stand it any longer, called out, "This is a trivial matter; let the Knights of God handle it."
Several attacks made them realize that these strange, eyeball-like creatures didn't have much offensive power, but at the same time, their regenerative abilities were terrifyingly strong.
They will relentlessly attack anything within 2 meters of them until it is broken into pieces that they can swallow whole.
In just a few short minutes, thanks to their combined attack with that of Izambalon V. Nassuro, the velvet sofa and crystal table in the room were all chopped up and swallowed into the eyes' bellies, disappearing without a trace.
Those eyes remained fixed on them greedily.
The eyeball plants can't harm them, and they can't eliminate them either.
This room, overgrown with eyeball grass, is now abandoned.

"weeding?"
Figarando Shamrock, who had just finished his training for the day, still smelled faintly of blood. He looked at CP0, who was wearing a mask, beside his father and repeated incredulously.
"The Five Elders, have the Knights of God remove the weeds?"
The Knights of God are a group composed of Celestial Dragons. Unlike those Celestial Dragons who are spoiled and unable to even take care of themselves, the Knights of God have extremely high combat power and a status above ordinary Celestial Dragons. They even have the right to judge and execute Celestial Dragons.
Sitting in the only chair in the room was Shamrock's father, Figalando Grimguin, who was the current commander-in-chief of the Knights of God.
With his beard and hair curving forward like a crescent moon, Grimm sat on the only chair in the room. Even without speaking, his imposing aura made the CP0 members in front of him feel suffocated.
"Go clean yourself up; you're covered in the smell of lowly slave blood."
As the son of Grimm, Shamrock displayed remarkable talent from a young age. His battles in the Knights of God were not tedious training, but rather battles against captured, truly powerful pirates.
On the Navy's side, they captured a user of the Sake-Sake Fruit a while ago. Shamrock forcibly took the person away from Impel Down and used him as a sparring partner.
To motivate his opponent, Shamrock even promised to reduce his sentence by 20 years if the opponent could injure him.
But clearly, that pirate did not satisfy Shamrock.
Greene tapped the back of the chair lightly with his index finger: "What kind of grass is it?"
“Eyes, eyeball-shaped grass,” CP0 said, trembling. “In Pangaea City, where the Five Elders hold their meetings.”
"The whole room was covered in eyeball-shaped grass!"

Author's note: Eyeball grass is really depressing, but jelly salad is really useful.
