Chapter 33 The Player's Rise to Fame
Long looked at Violet and sighed, "You shouldn't have revealed this ability so easily."
Luo, who had been on guard, breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his hand remained on his weapon.
"Don't forget you still owe me four ships of supplies." Vera clapped her hands and stood up, watching Ginny's breathing and body temperature return to normal. "How can you work for me if you don't recover?"
This is called unsustainable short-sighted exploitation!
Long shook his head helplessly: "Really..."
With this ability, whether she joins the World Government, the Navy, or pirates, the rewards she can obtain far exceed the so-called four ships' worth of supplies. Even the fact that she can cook dishes that cure diseases is itself worth far more than four ships' worth of supplies.
The child had no idea what kind of miracle she had performed.
Ginny slowly opened her eyes, clearly very confused about the current situation.
Vera earnestly explained the situation to her: "Your boss owes me a lot of money, and now he's selling you to me to work and pay off his debt."
Ginny: "...Huh?"
She looked up in confusion and saw the big bear sitting beside her, and the dragon looking at her with worried eyes.
Vera added, "Oh, him too. He owes me a lot of money and is working to pay it off. Now you're colleagues."
Long Chao nodded slightly.
Ginny was still completely bewildered, not understanding how the Revolutionary Army had suddenly accumulated such a huge debt, a debt that even Dragon couldn't repay even if he sold himself. However, trusting Dragon, she nodded and said, "Okay, okay?"
[Ginny has become your islander. Do you want to check her status?]
[[whether]
Ginny
[Status: Blue Scale Disease (Continuously depletes health and sanity; reduces satiety gained from food consumption by half, reduces maximum health by half; increases satiety consumption rate by 100%)]
[Health: 20/130; Hunger: 60/120; Sanity: 220/250]
Violet: ? ? ?
Wow, such high sanity! And such a powerful debuff!
While Vera was checking Ginny's condition, Ginny's health was visibly decreasing again. At this rate, if they hadn't seen Vera, Ginny's health would have reached zero in the next two days.
Violet quickly fed Ginny some more food to replenish her health, but unfortunately, due to the [Azure Scale Disease] debuff, Ginny's health could only be replenished to a maximum of 65 points.
With Big Bear's help, Ginny sat up: "I feel much better, thank you."
Ginny looked much better. Big Bear excitedly hugged Ginny and sobbed. Ginny helplessly held Big Bear's head to comfort him, and didn't forget to ask her new boss, "Is there anything I can do for you, Island Master?"
“Hmm…” Vera thought for a moment. Given Ginny’s current physical condition, there really wasn’t anything she could do.
Although Ginny looks much better now, Val knows from her status bar that Ginny's debuff has not been removed, and her health could drop to a dangerous level at any time.
As a visionary street lamp pendant, Violet would never do anything short-sighted.
Violet: "You should rest well. It's not too late to talk about redeeming yourself after I find a way to remove your debuff."
Ginny: "...Thank you?" Why is it a redemption?
After crying his fill, Big Bear handed Bonnie to Ginny. Ginny hugged her daughter and smiled as she looked at her daughter's finally rosy complexion.
Bonnie...you are my daughter.
Dragon pursed his lips. Bonney was the child of Ginny and a Celestial Dragon. This child was not born out of love; she represented an incredibly painful past for Ginny.
But Ginny's words told Dragon and Bear her decision: Bonnie was her daughter, and would only ever be her daughter.
Big Bear looked at Ginny worriedly: "Ginny..."
Ginny smiled at him: "I'm fine, Big Bear."
“When I joined the Revolutionary Army, I was already prepared for the day when I would fail and be captured.” Ginny gently stroked her daughter’s soft baby hair. “The operation failed, I was captured, and I went through some… pain, but I did not reveal any information about the Revolutionary Army.”
Ginny raised her head. This woman, who had risen from slavery to become a backbone of the revolutionary army and survived after being captured, had a stubborn and vigorous vitality on her face.
“I don’t need to feel sorry, I didn’t do anything wrong.”
"I am fighting for my ideals. Some of my comrades have endured terrible physical torture, but they have not revealed any information. They are great, and so am I."
Ginny's eyes sparkled: "It's unreasonable that some people who survive the torment of the enemy are regarded as heroes and respected, while others are pitied or even blamed."
“I don’t feel sad, Bear. All I feel is anger.” Ginny smiled at her daughter, but no one could ignore the rage she was suppressing. “Angry that they killed my companions and subordinates.”
“Those friends who cherished dreams and fought alongside us will never have the chance to witness the dawn that is about to break… As the leader of the intelligence department, I will personally avenge them.”
"Alright!" Long patted Ginny on the shoulder. "Then what you need to do now is to get well. The Revolutionary Army's intelligence department still needs you."
"Once you've recovered, Big Bear and I will watch you train hard. I think you'll only consider it a successful revenge if you personally stab those bastards in the chest. Even if you beg for mercy and regret it then, I won't be soft-hearted."
Ginny blinked: "But I'm an islander of this child now, and I need to work to pay off the debt."
Ginny: "By the way, Mr. Long seems to be in the same boat, he also has to work to pay off his debts."
dragon:"……"
Vera clapped her hands: "That's right, you two aren't sick, so you can get to work now."
Vera: "Let's start with farming. You guys know how to farm, right?"
Just as Long was about to say he didn't know, he heard Vera continue, "It's okay if you don't know, then let's learn how to make fertilizer first."
Luo gave a cold laugh.
Long coughed forcefully: "Farming, Big Bear and I still know how to do it."
——
Clash in the New World! Fierce Battle Between the Navy and the Revolutionary Army!
The Demon's Shadow has reappeared! He may have joined the Revolutionary Army, and his bounty has doubled!
A small, thin figure hid behind a tree trunk, her good view allowing her to see the fresh newspapers hanging on the newsstand.
The Shadow of a Demon?
Nico Robin stared at the black-haired, black-eyed girl in the newspaper holding a strange weapon.
Is she yet another girl wanted by the World Government? Does she, like me, also carry some kind of secret?
"Where is the thief who just stole the bread? Did he run off there?!"
"I clearly saw her just a moment ago! How dare she steal from me, Humphrey! I'll teach this arrogant brat a lesson!"
"Send her to the Navy, lock her in a cage and let her reflect on her actions!"
Nicole Robin hugged the piping hot, freshly baked bread tightly, refusing to let go even as her fingers and chest were burned.
She gently raised her hand, and suddenly a child's hand appeared under the feet of those chasing her, grabbing their ankles and pulling them hard.
"ah!"
"Ouch, you're crushing me!"
"Get up now, you bastard!"
They rolled around in a heap, and Nicole Robin peeked her head out from behind the tree. After confirming that no one was paying attention to her, she nimbly slipped away and ran away.
She will live on, with everyone in Ohara.
On the coffin boat, Mihawk, sitting cross-legged in the only seat, looked up at the messenger gulls circling overhead, thought for a moment, and took out a bag of peals.
A newsbird landed on the coffin boat, took Mihawk's bailey, and then took a newspaper from its small pouch and handed it to Mihawk.
Mihawk shook the newspaper, flipped through a few pages, and then stopped at the page with a blurry image of Vera.
"Tsk."
Mihawk gently brushed away the mail gull that boldly pecked at his pocket following the scent. It wasn't something a mail gull could eat as a snack; it contained precious seeds he had earned as a teacher.
"A troublemaking brat."
Seeing that there were no snacks to be had this time, the messenger gull cried out twice and took off again, heading to a new place with its companions to find buyers.
"Kuzan! What on earth happened? Why did you suddenly change course and start fighting with the Revolutionary Army?!"
The Den Den Mushi, which had transformed into the appearance of the Warring States period, roared, while Kuzan, sitting on a beach chair, helplessly spread his hands: "This is not something I can control."
"The dragon suddenly appeared and wanted to fight right away. I can't just run away, can I?"
Garp's exaggerated laughter came from behind: "Pfft, hahaha, well said, Kuzan! That's it! Let's teach that bastard a lesson! We Marines can't back down!"
"Garp! Don't you forget who the leader of the Revolutionary Army is?!"
"Hey, who's the leader of the Revolutionary Army?!"
"It's a dragon, a dragon, you bastard's son!"
"Ah, haha, I almost forgot! It was that bastard... that brat, who actually left his son with me and ran off all by himself!"
A loud bang came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Kuzan, where is Dragon now? I need to talk to this kid myself!"
"Ah..." Kuzan scratched his head in distress, "Well, uh, well..."
Although the two had agreed to a deal, Kuzan felt that given Long's wariness, it was hard to say whether he would personally show up.
When Garp-san can't see the dragon, he'll definitely vent his energy on him. Although Kuzan respects Mr. Garp and enjoys working with him, training with a Mr. Garp who's in a bad mood is a different story.
Kuzan: "Hmm, I don't know."
Kuzan: "However, I need some supplies, um... for tracking the Revolutionary Army."
"No need!" Sengoku roared. "Kuzan, your mission is to deliver the appointment document to Shichibukai Boa Hancock. The World Government will handle the task of hunting down the Revolutionary Army!"
“Well, actually…” Kuzan searched for a reason, “Long… well, he stole something quite important.”
Sengoku: "Don't tell me you're planning to trade those resources with him?"
Kuzan: "No, I'm going to lure out the dragon and then take her back."
Garp: "Kuzan is right, this is exactly what our navy should be doing!"
"How could Sengoku possibly agree to something like this? You should do it first, hahaha!"
"Garp!!! Is this how you teach your disciples?!"
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten the rice crackers I just bought yet. I'll take my leave now."
Kuzan shook his head, picked up the tiny Den Den Mushi with one hand, and shook it vigorously until the poor little thing was dizzy.
Kuzan: "Hey, why is the signal suddenly so bad? Oh my, Sengoku-san, can you hear me? Hmm, I'll hang up and call back when the signal is better."
"Kuzan? Kuzan, you dare...dudu."
Kuzan stood up, stretched, and tossed a few ice pucks to shoo away the seagulls circling around the warship: "I can't let you keep filming like this."
"Lieutenant General, the supplies have all been loaded onto the ship!"
"Ah, alright, let's go."
On the azure sea, the sails of the enormous beluga whale ship billowed.
"Dad, are you secretly drinking again?"
As soon as Marco entered the captain's cabin, he smelled something ominous.
Feeling guilty, Newgate placed the gourd containing the wine aside. Seeing Marco's helpless look, he angrily pounded the cabin: "Damn it, what do you mean by 'steal'? This is my ship, I can do whatever I want."
Marco glanced at the gourd Newgate was hiding behind his back.
"Ahem!" Newgate changed the subject. "Is the ship ready?"
Marco looked at Newgate in surprise.
Newgate: "Idiot, how could I not know what my sons were up to?"
Seeing that Marco had discovered him, Newgate simply dropped the pretense, pulled the cork off the gourd, and took a swig of wine: "Whatever you do, just remember, I'll always be behind you!"
“Go ahead, do whatever you want!” Newgate laughed. “Kurarara, don’t hesitate or worry.”
"You are my sons, Whitebeard's sons!"
On R'lyeh Island, Violet stood at the edge of the island, blue crabs scurrying past her, catching small fish and shrimp left on the beach as the sea level dropped.
The dragon, carrying a hoe, stood beside Violet.
"The rain has stopped."
Violet looked up at the clear sky: "No, it's only temporary."
There may be a few days of mild weather between seasons, but this is only temporary.
Vera opened her arms: "We need to prepare more rain and flood protection supplies."
"[The rainy season] is coming soon."

Author's Note: Player Prestige +10
While writing this chapter, I thought for a long time about how to handle Ginny's situation, and then I suddenly realized that Ginny was just captured, not betrayed.
She was interrogated, but managed to preserve information about the revolutionary army;
She experienced failure, but learned from it;
Her comrades perished as a result, but she will avenge them and continue the journey in their place...
That's enough.
Wildflowers that can bloom freely even in barren soil will not give up pursuing the light just because they have experienced darkness.
Ginny, you did a great job, thank you for your hard work. But let's rest in R'lyeh for a bit, refuel, and then continue on our way. [Let me see]
