Chapter 18 The Player's Home Building Journey (Major Revision)...
The fact that a human had settled in the Dragon King's Palace, the symbol of the royal family and the center of power on Fishman Island, caused a huge uproar on the island.
But since King Neptune and Queen Otohime had tacitly approved, the other fish-men and mermaids could only keep their questions to themselves.
Furthermore, there's Fisher Tiger, a legendary adventurer and pirate who is admired and revered by countless people on Fishman Island. Violet saved him and spent some time with him on the Sun Pirates, leading even the Fishman Island residents, who were prejudiced against humans, to believe that Violet was "a kind human being unlike other evil humans."
Violet is having such a good time that she's almost forgotten about home.
February 12th: Shopping and sleeping in.
February 13th, played with Bai Xing, and took a long nap.
On February 14th, he ate royal sweets with Princess Otohime and took a long nap.
February 15th, Violet, how could you fall so low?! Have you forgotten the farming and infrastructure development plans you made before? Confucius said, "I examine myself three times a day." This can't go on!
February 16th, I slept all day long.
With her biological clock completely messed up and her hair all over the place, Violet finally made up her mind to start preparing to develop and build her own island.
It wasn't because Violet was excited about turning her life around and was ready to do something big, but because the countdown to the changing seasons in the game reminded her that if she didn't build a house soon, she would be in trouble.
In the survival game [Shipwrecked Survival], the year is divided into four seasons: the mild season, the hurricane season, the rainy season, and the dry season. Each of the four seasons has three months, and players are automatically on the first day of the mild season when they log in to the game.
For most players, surviving the mild season with moderate temperatures and little rain or thunderstorms is not difficult; the berry bushes, grass, and branches growing everywhere are enough to keep them from hunger and darkness.
However, if players are misled by the leisurely time of the mild season and fail to gather enough materials to build a house in time, the arrival of the hurricane season will definitely give them a little shock from nature.
Violet bid farewell to the NPCs of Fishman Island. When Shirahoshi learned that Violet was leaving, she almost fainted from crying. Only after receiving Violet's promise that she would definitely come back to Fishman Island to play in the future did she sob and pack a large amount of Fishman Island specialty food for Violet.
Jinbe and the Sun Pirates escorted Violet away from Fishman Island. Violet refused Jinbe's offer to escort her all the way to her destination, placed the raft on the sea, and rowed away alone, disappearing from the sight of the Sun Pirates members.

“You’re back so late this time, yoi.” Marco, who flew down from the Moby Dick, waved lazily to Izang and Sachi. “We’ve had several arguments about the food lately.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it,” Sachi said, spreading his hands. “After the earthquake, there were too many pirates who wanted to come to the New World. The coating craftsman we’ve been working with collapsed from overwork. We had to search for several days before we found a reliable and skilled craftsman to help with the coating.”
Izang raised an eyebrow as he looked at the burn mark on Marco's hem: "Looks like you've been having a pretty busy time lately?"
Pirates who successfully arrive in the New World have only three choices: find an island with no powerful forces and slowly develop their power; join an established pirate force; or challenge other forces and seize territory from them.
Due to the pirates' greedy and belligerent nature, the first two choices often end up leading to battle.
"Everyone's been making quite a fuss lately, and Dad's territory has expanded again. Fortunately, he's taken in some decent newcomers, so nothing too messy has happened."
The supply ship was moored to one side, and the three squad leaders jumped directly onto the deck of the Moby Dick.
Sachi waved to the white-bearded man standing at the bow of the ship: "Dad, we're back!"
"Kurarara!" When Sachi and the others boarded the deck, Whitebeard was watching a battle. His tall figure, holding the Murakumogiri, was like a rock that could not be moved by wind or overturned by waves in the sea. Just seeing him made them feel extremely at ease. "You've come at the right time."
Every division commander is a renowned pirate whose name resounds throughout the Grand Line, but on the Moby Dick, they are still Daddy's children, enjoying Daddy's protection.
Looking into the distance, Zang asked, "Is this... a challenge?"
Young pirate rookies have survived the battles across the seas, escaped the Navy's pursuit, and sailed through the Reverse Mountain to the second half of the Grand Line... This series of successes can easily lead these young pirates to have a wrong perception of their own strength, and they come to challenge those who have long been famous sea kings.
Such mistakes are often fatal.
Whitebeard only showed his kind and tolerant side to his family, and those pirate crews that dared to challenge him were not even worth his personal attention.
The captain of the Eighth Division, Namur, had black hair that used to stick up like bushes, but now it was soaked by seawater and stuck to his back. As he wrung out the water from his shirt, the fleet behind him, already reduced to wreckage, was silently sinking into the sea.
The pirates, who had been bored and gathered at the bow of the ship, expecting to watch a good show, began to boo in displeasure.
"Damn it, they were defeated so quickly? My popcorn isn't even ready yet!"
"It's because we're working too slowly!"
"That's because Sachi isn't here. It's just replenishing supplies, but Sachi is too slow..." Just then, the squad leader suddenly caught sight of Sachi not far away, arms crossed, squinting at him.
As everyone knows, besides the captain and first mate, there are two other positions on a pirate ship that are absolutely not to be messed with.
One was the ship's doctor, who determined their treatment after being injured, and the other was the cook, who was in charge of their meals while adrift at sea.
The squad leader's eyelids twitched as if he had a seizure, and then he shouted, "Who said this Sachi is slow? This Sachi is fast, okay? Those who say Sachi is slow should reflect on themselves. Have you ever assisted Sachi? Otherwise, why can't you even pop popcorn properly?!"
Sachi laughed and cursed, "Bastard!"
Marco: "I told you everyone misses you, yoi."
Marco: "Namur, you're bleeding a little here."
Namur touched his cheek in the direction Marco was pointing, and sure enough, there was a little blood. His cheek had been slashed by the captain of the opposing pirate crew, and this was the last mark left by that rookie pirate crew that Namur didn't even bother to ask their names.
Namur looked at his brother, whose face had turned red after being discovered by the cricket cook behind him: "There's nothing I can do. Sachi isn't here, and I haven't had an appetite lately. This is what happens when you fight on an empty stomach."
Sachi: "You're an bastard too!"
As he spoke, he pulled something out of his pocket and threw it at Namuel. Only after he threw it did he belatedly realize—wait, what did he just throw?
Namuel easily caught the "hidden weapon" thrown by Sachi: "What is that?"
It's pink, soft and bouncy, and has a slightly pungent preservative smell.
Namuer subconsciously squeezed the strange object in his hand, and the next moment, the strange object suddenly disappeared from his palm as if it had melted!
[Spider gland used, Health +8]
Namuel: "...Did you hear any strange noises just now?"
Marco stepped forward and grasped Namur's hand, examining it repeatedly. After confirming that he wasn't seeing things and that the strange thing had indeed vanished into his brother's hand, his expression turned somewhat grim.
There are countless Devil Fruit users in the world, and even they cannot claim to know them all. What happened to Namur is too much like what a certain Devil Fruit user would do.
Marco dragged Namur to the medical room and gave him a thorough examination, inside and out.
The results showed that Namur was in excellent physical condition. Not to mention any hidden dangers or injuries, he was so healthy that he could even go into the water and fight a group of sea kings with his bare hands!
Marco looked at the “culprit” who was standing at the door, also looking anxious.
"Sachi, where did you get that thing, yoi?"
Sachi frowned, struggling to recall. He and Yizang had purchased too many things this time, and he needed to carefully consider the list in his mind.
Fortunately, Yizang was reliable enough: "It was given to us by a young girl, is there a problem?"
Marco: "No, that Muir's body is very good... or rather, quite good, and..."
Marco used an alcohol-soaked cotton swab to wipe away the bloodstain on Namur's cheek. After the dried blood was wiped away, the skin that was free of any wounds was revealed.
Namur has a strong ability to recover, but not so strong that he can recover completely in just a few steps.
Sachi: "Ah, I remember now, when that girl gave us this, didn't she say it was for replenishing blood?"
Izo narrowed his eyes: "She did say that. Could it be that she's a Devil Fruit user? She seemed to have said that she would become even stronger in the future and that we should contact her again if we needed anything?"
Marco said in a deep voice, "Tell me in detail."
Marco, as the ship's doctor, was well aware that Whitebeard's body had suffered hidden injuries due to the side effects of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. However, considering that the Whitebeard Pirates had many enemies, this matter was kept completely secret, and only a few division commanders knew about it.
But nothing stays hidden forever. Marco had a premonition that, regardless of who was behind this, the person who used such a roundabout method to send that strange thing here ultimately aimed to…
Dad.

Bang! Bang! Bang!
As she brought down the final hammer, Vera looked up, satisfied with the road sign depicting a simple tent.
After several days of arduous exploration, Violet finally found a perfect island and prepared to build a home there.
This is a medium to large island, large enough to ensure that it will not be completely submerged by rising tides during the rainy and hurricane seasons.
The island consists of three types of terrain: sand, forest, and grassland. In addition to ensuring a large supply of the three essential basic materials—grass, branches, and wood—Vell also discovered a wild beehive in the grassland. She can build beehives later and have these dangerous yet hardworking little creatures produce delicious honey for her continuously.

The thud of the building hitting the ground was so pleasant. As Violet approached the [Alchemy Engine], the machine, which was supposed to be unmanned, seemed to sense her arrival, and its antennas began to spin rapidly.
[Confirmation of building a home here?]
[[whether]
Please give your island a name and a catchy slogan!
Hmm, naming it. Violet stood beside the [Alchemy Engine], gazing thoughtfully at the unusually excited machine… Ah, I've got it! Violet quickly wrote down three words.
[Your island name is: R'lyeh]
