Chapter 63: The players uncovered the cunning game designer's plot...
Imagine a stunningly beautiful woman leaning close to you and whispering sweet nothings in your ear – the sensation is incredibly intense.
Calm down, calm down, this is a farming game without any romantic subplots!
What NPCs? Where can you find such tempting quest rewards... Oh right, that mysterious treasure map!
Vera then remembered the memory that Namur had interrupted and hurriedly went to find the [mysterious treasure map]. Because there were so many treasures in the warehouse, Vera was completely blindfolded. She finally found the treasure map after searching through the third backpack.
Violet read out the name of the island on the treasure map: "Sphinx Island?"
"Hmm?" Namur looked up after hearing the familiar words. "Sphinx Island, isn't that Dad's hometown?"
"Mr. Edward's hometown?" Violet remembered why the name of the treasure map sounded so familiar. When she completed the [Hunger Never Stops!] quest in the Land of Treasures, she received a treasure map as a reward, and in the end, she dug out a huge, broken sculpture that couldn't be moved from the Temptation Forest.
So, there's also a sculpture buried in Mr. Edward's hometown? Is it a coincidence, or is there some connection...?
Mr. Edward and Charlotte Linlin, by the way, they both have the title of Emperor of the Sea!
"Sea Emperor, why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Namur admired Vil's unconventional and whimsical way of thinking.
"Besides my father, there are two other Emperors of the Sea: Charlotte Linlin of the Big Mom Pirates and Kaido of the Beasts Pirates."
When Namur first went to R'lyeh, Violet was on a mission in Tales of Hollows. However, due to the caution of Dragon and the others, as well as Law, they all kept silent about Violet's whereabouts. Namur had no way of knowing that his adopted sister had dared to go to Big Mom's territory alone before meeting her father.
Namuel's expression was serious: "Don't think that just because your father looks easy to talk to, it's because you haven't seen him when he's angry."
The title of Emperor of the Sea and the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates were not given away as a bonus when topping up a phone plan.
"And the two sea emperors besides Big Mom, Big Mom and Kaido, are even more ruthless."
Namur worried that Violet, seeing that her father was easy to talk to, would lower her guard against the other two sea emperors, so he deliberately told them several big scenes from the rise of the two sea emperors to scare the two children.
Violet and Law listened very attentively. Although these famous naval battles were not secrets to those who paid attention to the situation at sea, Namur, as a division commander of Whitebeard, had a perspective that was incomparable to that of ordinary civilians and pirates, not to mention that he also knew many unknown details.
This is intelligence that you can't get no matter how much money you spend outside.
Namur spoke until his throat was dry, and only when he was satisfied with the extent, horror, and intensity of those naval battles did he finally stop.
Hmph, this must have scared those two kids quite a bit, huh? Hopefully, this fearless little Violet won't get into trouble with them out of curiosity.
Vera and Luo: "Is there more?! Is there more?!"
Hmm, this reaction isn't right. Shouldn't they be pale and trembling with fear?
That little girl belatedly lowered her head and met two pairs of bright, expectant eyes.
Did they think he was a storyteller? It's one thing for Violet to get involved, but why did Luo have to get involved too?! He thought Luo was to Violet what all the first mates are to the captains at sea—a role that allows them to calmly analyze the situation and hold the line when the captains get carried away and rush out of control.
If Luo knew what Miu'er was thinking, he would definitely sneer. What a joke! Who can stop Vie from doing whatever she wants?
Rather than letting Violet get carried away and recklessly rush into the Sea Emperor's territory, it's better for him to gather intelligence in advance and make preparations just in case.
Namur felt a headache coming on, but he had been a fearless person when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have left Fishman Island to become a pirate and even recognized Whitebeard as his father. Naturally, he understood how difficult it was to dissuade a kid of this age.
Namur drew a line for the two: "In short, neither Kaido nor Big Mom are people you can afford to mess with right now."
In the New World, as long as Violet and Law don't provoke the other two Emperors of the Sea, the Whitebeard Pirates can cover for them.
Looking at Namur, whose eyes revealed a hint of arrogance, Vera suddenly asked a rather strange question.
"Are there only three Emperors of the Sea?"
She needs to take some time to visit Mr. Edward's hometown and personally dig up the treasure map to see if the sculpture on it is the same as the one in the Temptation Forest. If it is, then there is most likely another one in the territory of that sea emperor named Kaido.
Namur paused for a moment: "There are indeed only three at present... but it is said that the Navy and the World Government intend to find a new Emperor of the Sea in the next few years."
The Navy, the CP department, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Emperors of the Sea check and balance each other, a situation that anyone with a keen eye for current affairs can see. This is the World Government's ideal state of power division.
"After all, the old man, Kaido, and Big Mom all came from the same ship."
Although there is virtually no camaraderie among the Rocks Pirates crew, the World Government is still worried that these three great pirates might one day join forces and recreate a behemoth similar to the Rocks Pirates.
She knew it, she knew it!
Vera had an "I knew it" look on her face; she knew the despicable game designers wouldn't let players collect all the items so easily.
Violet: "So who will be the next emperor of the sea?"
Namur recalled Marco's conversation with his father: "At the moment, the most likely candidate is Shanks."
Val: "Shanks?"
The name sounded familiar yet somewhat surprising, causing both Muir and Luo to turn their heads.
Namur: "...Don't tell me you've seen him."
“Hmm!” Violet didn’t detect the breakdown in Muir’s tone at all. “We used to team up for adventures.”
"Your life is truly colorful."
Namur felt speechless. He was now certain that when he was Violet's age, he was definitely not as mischievous as Violet!
But facing the curious gazes of the two little devils, Namuer sighed and continued, "After all, Shanks' momentum has been very strong lately."
Shanks himself must have been interested in this, otherwise he wouldn't have expanded his territory by a third in just one year, and sometimes he was even bold enough to directly clash with the fleets of the three veteran sea emperors.
"Most importantly, Shanks was once a member of Roger's pirate crew."
No matter how much the World Government despises the Roger Pirates for reaching the final island, it has to admit that during the Rocks era, the Roger Pirates were the only force that could rival them.
The possibility of Shanks, the former member of Roger's Pirates, teaming up with a former member of Rocks' Pirates is extremely low.
That's enough.
Wow! Violet never expected that the first group of teammates she met as soon as she entered the game would be so impressive.
However, if it is really as she thinks, and each Sea Emperor's territory contains a broken sculpture, then wouldn't it take until the fourth Sea Emperor has completely emerged to collect all the sculptures?
"See you in three days."
Namur temporarily left to contact the coating craftsmen needed by the Four Seas, while Violet stood on the land of R'lyeh, still pondering the problem of sculpture.
"Hello, you must be the island owner here!"
A young and energetic voice rang out. It belonged to a little boy wearing a dark blue tuxedo, a top hat with goggles, healthy wheat-colored skin, and a scar resembling a burn above his left eye.
"I am Sabo, nice to meet you in the future!"
Sabo bowed deeply to Vil, his top hat slipping off his head to reveal his short, light-gold, slightly wavy hair.
"Nice to meet you... wait, who are you?"
Why did he suddenly appear on her island?
Luo looked up at the dragon following behind Sabo, who was awkwardly touching his nose.
Dragon: "Ahem, it's like this, the Revolutionary Army found this child. He has amnesia and has nowhere to go, so..."
Law: "Found it on the Grand Line?"
No, it was found in the East China Sea...
Sabo is a child with excellent qualities and character, and Dragon intends to nurture him, but the Revolutionary Army's life is too turbulent and not suitable for such a young child.
And so the unlucky Violet was targeted by the dragon.
Violet looked at the dragon and said, "Dragon, I suddenly realize that you seem like an animal."
A majestic dragon? A ferocious tiger? Or a clever fox?
Violet: "You're like a cuckoo." Always leaving your children to be raised by others or something.
Recalling Luffy's time with his father Garp, Dragon couldn't help but cough twice more.
Dragon: "That's right. I've thought about it carefully and I think that you, Vera, are kind and powerful. You can protect this child and serve as a role model to inspire him. You are the best candidate."
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." Even the staunchly upright Monkey D. Dragon has one day learned to flatter.
Oh dear, I'm so ashamed.
But it must be said, Violet was really enjoying the hype.
The little boy Sabo pressed his advantage, saying, "Island Master Sister..."
Who can withstand this?!
Violet looked down at Sabo, who was missing a tooth and had a slightly frayed bandage on his nose.
As if sensing her gaze, Sabo, who was half a head shorter than her, gave her a bright, sunny smile.
“Island Master, I’ve heard everything from Mr. Long. I can endure hardship, I can farm and I can hunt,” Sabo said. “I can support myself.”
Who could resist such a sunny and cheerful smile? Well, Violet certainly didn't think she could.
Looking at Vera's expression, Luo knew that R'lyeh would most likely have one more person added to the list.
That's great. Violet just acquired an island, and she'll need to expand the number of high-end farms for her fruit and vegetable business. She and Chopper are already overwhelmed with work.
With the sense of responsibility and mission of an islander, Luo took the initiative to walk up to Sabo and asked, "Have you been inside?"
Sabo smiled back at him: "Before the island lord sister returned, I was living on the ship arranged by Mr. Long."
Luo followed Sabo's gaze and saw the small boat moored on the shore.
Apart from Violet and Mihawk, Law had never seen a third person dare to sail on the unpredictable Grand Line in such a small boat for one person.
This ship was clearly not the one that transported Sabo from the Revolutionary Army to R'lyeh. It was probably the ship that Dragon used to pick up Sabo from the small boat when the large ship was nearby and the sea was calm, so as not to reveal the exact location of R'lyeh.
This led Luo to give Sabo an impression score of zero or higher.
Luo: "I'll take you to the base first. Be careful not to wander off. There are a lot of dangerous things on this island."
For example, the swarm of bees whose Armament Haki and swordsmanship were becoming increasingly refined; or the man-eating plants that would suddenly sprout from the ground at any time; or the terrifying frogs that suddenly appeared near the pond during the time Violet was away...
Luo keenly sensed that the dragon still had something to say to Violet, so while explaining the details of R'lyeh to Sabo, he led the dragon away from the spot.
So he didn't see the sly look in Sabo's eyes as he looked back at the dragon from behind.
It's a glutinous rice ball with sesame filling cut open.
The old dragon thought calmly.
A guy like Violet, who's incredibly energetic and has her own set of logic, is perfect for dealing with him.
Ah, balance, balance, this is the way of life for those in power.
