Chapter 104: Celestial Body Preparation Day 2 (240,000 Nutrient Solution Plus Update)...
Day 2 of Celestial Preparation:
Wendy squinted her eyes when she received the golden letter - she was dazzled.
Looking at the signature, she turned her head in confusion: "Mihawk..."
Hawkeye was also confused for a moment when he saw this familiar name. After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered: "Is it the person who ate your devil fruit?"
He actually wasn't the type to remember people's names, but the appearance of Gild Tesoro being fished out by Wendy with a devil fruit was too weird, and later he seemed to be loyal to Wendy, which left a deep impression on him.
"Ah, it's him." Wendy suddenly realized and began to open the letter. "Is he going to return my things?"
After eating the Gold-Gold Fruit that Wendy was using for fishing, Gild Tezulo promised to return a Devil Fruit to her. Because of Wendy's generosity (she simply believed him and let him go) and her ambition (she only claimed to want to fight the Celestial Dragons), he vowed to repay her after achieving success.
The letter explained that he had already obtained a new Devil Fruit, but due to its preciousness, he was afraid to bring it here without permission, fearing damage. However, he had read in the newspaper that Wendy was about to establish a home in the New World, so he came to ask Wendy if he could personally deliver it or if she could come and get it. He even offered a third suggestion: "Or should I give the fruit to Red-Haired Shanks and have him give it to you?"
This guy is too clever, and he's just being too clever. Hawkeye, who had also read the letter, thought to himself.
Wendy thought about it seriously and said, "I'm going to ask Shanks about Vegapunk. I'll ask him to take it, and then I'll get it from Shanks."
As for waiting for her to come over, that won't work. You have to get what the NPC gives you first, otherwise what if it gets refreshed?
Besides the Devil Fruit, Tesoro mentioned another thing—he was building his own power, using his Gold-Gold Fruit to make his first fortune and gather his first wave of troops. At that time, he encountered Joker, a smuggling tycoon from the New World underground trade...
"I told him that my fruit was given by you. He seemed to have guessed who you were and didn't hold me accountable after I made that clear. Is he one of yours, too?"
Gild Tesoro is a fan of Wendy's career, and after learning that the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago were wiped out by Wendy, he immediately became an avid fan of her career.
In his logic, Doflamingo might be Wendy's secret subordinate because Wendy gave him face! Why would Wendy ruin his subordinate's auction? It must be because he was secretly amassing too much wealth and was warned by Wendy! After all, Wendy had freed all the slaves, so human auctions were clearly prohibited!
The player is truly formidable. On the surface, he has Shanks, a figure nearing the position of a Four Emperor, expanding his territory, and Hawkeye, the leader of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as his personal guard. In the underground, there's also the smuggling magnate Joker, a force that's been lurking for who knows how many years! — Gild Tesoro can brag even with his eyes open.
"Ah...did he meet Dover?" Wendy blinked, picked up her pen and began to write. "I'll tell him."
"What are you going to say?" Hawkeye asked her.
"He was one before, but not anymore," Wendy said truthfully.
Hawkeye: "..." Well, from Gild Tesoro's perspective, he would probably think that Doflamingo used to be Wendy's subordinate but has now been removed by Wendy.
But the other party has actually taken root in the new world... and seems to have some abilities.
"Oh, by the way, Mihawk, can I ask him for Pluto materials?" Wendy asked. "He said I can ask him for anything I want, right?"
...I've forgotten everyone's name, but I remember this very clearly.
Hawkeye hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "You can try."
After all, looking at his fanatical attitude, it seems that he will be the first person to come and join Wendy with his family after she finishes building Pluto... I just don't know how long he can maintain his filter for Wendy.
***
On the other hand, Gild Tesoro, who received Wendy's letter, was even more exaggerated than Hawkeye had imagined.
Wendy's reply was short: "I see. Let Shanks keep the Devil Fruit for me. I'll let him know. You met Dover, right? He used to be one of my people, but not anymore. By the way, can you help me find some materials? I need them to build Pluto."
Along with the letter came a backpack - Wendy was thoughtful and also gave me some collection items.
Tezulo received the backpack, stunned for a moment. After inspecting it, his face was filled with disbelief—he knew it! It was the mysterious backpack that the Don Quixote family had auctioned off at a high price! Turns out… it was all given to him by the player!
Considering the contents of the letter, Tezulo felt he understood—Joker must have betrayed the player! Consequently, Joker's auction was also sanctioned!
Just looking at the word "Pluto" written on the letter made him feel a little dizzy... Is this... the legendary "Pluto"? The player has decided to build Pluto?! Telling him about this and giving him a mission... is this a sign of trust?
Gild Tesoro vaguely felt that this was an opportunity to soar to fame, and he must seize it!
"But Joker has already taken over the smuggling business... I got it, a casino!" Tesoro's eyes gleamed. "I'm going to seize the wealth of this world and use it to pave Lord Carter's path to becoming king!"
He won't forget his roots like Joker! He will definitely seize the opportunity that Doflamingo didn't cherish!
***
Wendy had no idea that someone had secretly positioned himself as her number one younger brother.
Even if she knew, she would nod calmly and automatically calculate in her head - this must be the Pig King of this world! I offer food, and he gives me gold.
It’s just that the resource conversion formula in this world is slightly different.
She also found the News Bird publication information there.
[Shanks, someone wants to give me something, please keep it for me. - Wendy Carter]
Shanks also responded quickly.
[Okay, got it. — Shanks]
This time, after seeing the news, everyone's attitude seemed much calmer.
After all, no one questioned this relationship anymore. Everyone is now just thinking about Shanks's motivation to become a Yonko.
Currently, the two loudest voices are "In order to be able to challenge the World Government directly and be with Wendy Carter" and "In order to have bargaining chips to challenge Hawkeye and become Wendy Carter's second home."
As the Red Hair Pirates' power expanded, Big Mom also stopped her involvement - after all, except when she had an attack of bulimia, Big Mom would not do anything that would be thankless and unprofitable.
Because of this, her deal with Wendy's was terminated, but she did not give up her idea - there was really no substitute for Wendy's desserts.
It's not like she hadn't tried to replicate it, but even after handing it over to her subordinates for research, no one had been able to make it. And just like Wendy had said before, if Jell-O salad sat out for too long and became stale, it wouldn't have the same refreshing effect.
If I were to say it, the person who thinks about Wendy the most in this world is probably Big Mom. She thinks of Wendy every time she eats dessert.
If Wendy were a man, she would kidnap him and marry him, and she wouldn't even kick him out like other husbands, but would keep him forever. As long as Wendy could still make desserts.
Big Mom even started to think about one thing: "Wendy Carter said last time that she wanted to marry me..."
The children below were shocked when they heard this and quickly came out to stop this horrible idea.
"Wait! Mom! She must be trying to amuse herself!"
"That's what I'm saying, Mom! Look, she's contacting Red Hair in the newspaper again. She already has a home in the New World!"
"That's right, Red Hair is still so arrogant!"
"But it seems Hawkeye is quite powerful. Even with his arrogance, he still couldn't completely snatch Wendy Carter away..."
"He's not that great. If he were, he wouldn't have let Wendy Carter flirt with Redhead in the papers again."
"Katakuri, what are you talking about? He at least holds onto this position. Look, you didn't even beat Hawkeye when you went to form a marriage alliance."
“…”
The topic got off track, and Big Mom threw a fit and drove the unfortunate kids away. The four generals, looking dishonored, breathed a sigh of relief—at least Mom wasn't thinking about marrying Wendy Carter anymore.
They absolutely could not accept calling Wendy Carter "Mom," nor "Dad."
But at the same time, they were also a little upset with someone—why were they publicly contacting each other again after so long? Couldn't they just write a letter? And what was Hawkeye doing? Couldn't they just do something about it?
Wendy did this simply because it was faster than writing a letter, and she didn't know Shanks' address.
Hawkeye didn't stop it because he had already stopped the biggest thing - the possibility of Wendy and Shanks getting married.
However, after this was published, Wendy's Den Den Mushi also rang - it was from the parent-child channel.
Luffy was chattering a bunch of nonsense to her, the core idea was just one - if Wendy went to find Shanks, she had to say hello to Shanks on his behalf.
Wendy naturally agreed.
After Luffy happily logged off, Ace came online.
After chatting with Wendy for a while, Ace said he wanted to talk to Hawkeye.
Hawkeye was a little confused. He took the Den Den Mushi and followed Ace's instructions to move it to a distance away from Wendy so that she couldn't hear him. Then he heard the other party speak in a low voice: "Mihawk, you have to work harder. You can't lose to Shanks."
Hawkeye: “…” What kind of efforts?
"This is not something a child should worry about." Hawkeye was a little helpless - is this child worrying too much?
"I'm not worried about you! I just think it would be too embarrassing for you to lose!"
"Don't worry, I won't lose either." Hawkeye replied calmly.
At this moment, a phone call came in - this time it was from Saab.
Compared with the first two, Sabo seemed much more normal - he just came to tell Wendy what new material he had found.
Hawkeye secretly breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately... If Sabo was the same as the previous two, he would have wanted to suggest that Wendy turn off this [Parent-Child Channel] on a regular basis and only open it once a week.
Wendy actually felt it was okay. After all, she didn't need to sleep and was active almost 24 hours a day, so she had plenty of energy.
When Hawkeye was asleep, she would return to her sister's urn and slowly recover.
However, on this day, after she changed the offering flower petals, she habitually opened the map to check the location, and was surprised to find that she could now see Shanks's location - it was not an area she had explored, but because she had installed the parent-child mod, Sabo's activity range was also counted into her map opening area, so she lit up and saw it.
I told you kids are useful! — Wendy was very satisfied. She wanted to go talk to Hawkeye, but she remembered he was asleep, so she thoughtfully didn't disturb him. She just used the teleportation sign in the room and went all the way there.
The location was Shanks' room. When Wendy went there, it was pitch black. She took out the lantern and threw it on the ground to illuminate the entire room. Then she ran over, put her hands on the edge of the bed and looked over: "Shanks, I'm here to find you. Are you awake?"
The red-haired young man lying on the bed opened his eyes and looked at her. He smiled, sighed, and spoke with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "There really was no warning... Next time if you come at night, you can also announce it in the newspaper?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: In Don’t Starve, you can find the Pig King to exchange for gold!
Luffy is on Shanks' side (but also acknowledges Hawkeye) [laughing], Ace is on Hawkeye's side (and thinks his position isn't stable enough) [helpless], Sabo doesn't participate in the faction fight (he even thinks it's okay for his mom to have two, forget about three, because he's worried that Mom will be too tired [sunglasses]), and Law is on Rossiwen's side (and against Dover) [rolling eyes]
Tezulo is a standard career fan [rice dog]
Also, I've seen people say that Ace is the male version of Baby5, but that's not the case. Baby5 is okay with being wanted, but Ace is very discerning. He has to make sure the person he approves of truly needs him, and he might even reject and refuse to accept them at first. He's a twisted, adorable kid [dog head]
PS: I can’t finish adding them.jpg, I’ve already changed the 240,000 one, and will slowly change the rest with the Japanese doubles…
