Chapter 123: New World Home Building Day 8 (Two-in-one, Nutrient Solution 3...
New World Day 8:
After Wendy shouted that, the three people had different reactions.
Crocodile was a little surprised, but after a moment's thought, he realized that Wendy Carter's uncle had been captured in Marijoa. No wonder she had been targeting the Celestial Dragons before.
He didn't care about Wendy's family tree, but he admired Wendy's call - only with such courage could one become the fifth emperor.
Although he had no intention of being Wendy's subordinate, he just wanted to rely on these two years to find out the real secret of how Wendy obtained Pluto, and then directly seize Pluto... But if Wendy performed too poorly when he was in disguise, he would also feel embarrassed.
Yes, Crocodile talked about the deal, but he had no intention of staying for the full two years. He didn't even intend to "borrow" Pluto.
Are you kidding? Who would return it? He's a pirate!
Although Wendy Carter's ghost sister is a bit tricky, and Hawkeye is also troublesome...but it's not a big deal!
Ghost Sister was just a ghost. Hawkeye had been completely bewitched by Wendy Carter, becoming so gentle that he was looked down upon. Even a sword would become dull... Speaking of which, he had thought Hawkeye, after what he had experienced, would become as distrustful as he was. He hadn't expected him to trust others, not only to not say so, but to actually trust a woman and treat her like a dog...
Could it be that Wendy Carter seemed to have no such thing as a heart, so he felt relieved? — Crocodile wondered.
Behind him, Nico Robin was stunned at first, with a thoughtful expression on her face, but she was not too surprised.
Wendy Carter has many secrets, which she can discover after just a few days of contact with the other party - because the other party does not hide anything and almost runs to you to show you everything.
The other party was such a frank and casual person who did things without thinking too much, but Hawkeye did not stop him... Either he did not care about Wendy as much as the rumors said, or he was absolutely confident in Wendy, and no one else could find out her secrets, or even if her secrets were fully revealed, others would not be able to grasp the key points and could not copy, seize or use them.
At present, it seems to be the latter.
Nico Robin's interpretation of Wendy's call differed slightly from Crocodile's. She believed Wendy herself had some connection to the Celestial Dragons. Perhaps her pursuit of historical truth, or perhaps someone in her family had violated some Celestial Dragon taboo, led to her uncle's detention and her own escape.
The evidence is Wendy's attitude towards things and some small habits that she reveals in her daily life.
But this wasn't a bad thing for her... Her desire to obtain the historical text would be much easier with Wendy, the Fifth Emperor, as her backer. She could even temporarily avoid being pursued by the CP and the Navy Admirals.
The premise is... Wendy can hold on to this position.
For now, the threat brought by Pluto alone is not enough to gain a firm foothold in the new world without sufficient manpower... Let's see how Wendy will arrange her "home building" in the future.
As for his former boss, Crocodile...
Nico Robin glanced at Crocodile who was steering the boat single-handedly over there.
It’s not that Wendy and the other two were bullying a disabled person with a golden hook in one hand, but Crocodile wanted to open it, and none of the three wanted to compete with him.
Nico Robin was not optimistic about Crocodile's behavior of boarding the ship - Crocodile was not convinced by Wendy, and he stayed only for Pluto. Even if Wendy was a person who kept his promise and loaned Pluto...whether he would return it when the time came; whether he would do his best in the agreed two years or had other motives and was just pretending to be submissive, all were unknown.
But as a newcomer to the organization, these weren't her business. Besides, Wendy's closest friends hadn't said anything yet, so she wouldn't say anything either.
Nico Robin thought as she glanced at Hawkeye who was talking to Wendy over there.
Hawkeye had no idea of the mental activities of the two smart people who had just joined the ship.
He naturally knew that the two people actually had their own purposes, but that was Wendy's decision. Wendy was the captain, and he would not interfere.
This is actually his personality. He is not the type who likes to stand in the spotlight. On the contrary, he prefers to stay in the shadows.
Just like now, staying under Wendy's light, just helping out when something happens or seeing what Wendy wants him to do, this mode is his comfort zone.
As for Crocodile and Nico Robin's little tricks, he believed that they were nothing to Wendy - what a joke. He had never seen anyone who could fully predict Wendy's actions and plot against her and still get what he wanted.
Compared to the two people who only had a vague understanding, Hawkeye naturally knew the real meaning of Wendy's call... Therefore, he couldn't help but fall into silence.
Because he knew very well where Wendy meant "come down"... It was hard to say whether Uncle Maxwell would be happy or not.
But he also had some doubts...
"Why do you suddenly want to shout this?" he asked.
Wendy said solemnly, "Because Dover told me something about Mary Geoise before."
Hawkeye was stunned. "Doflamingo? When did he contact you?"
Wendy answered obediently, "When I was waiting for you over there alone before."
"...What did he tell you?" Hawkeye said, then paused and added, "If it's something he can tell me."
He knew Wendy, and therefore knew that she couldn't possibly have any connection with him anymore... But as a former Celestial Dragon, if Doflamingo had told Wendy about the secrets surrounding Marijoa, then that must be quite important information...
"Hmm...actually, I don't quite understand." Wendy frowned and said solemnly, "But I feel like I can be sure of one thing, that is, my Uncle Maxwell and his assistant Charlie may have merged. No wonder he now has a new name, Yimu."
Hawkeye was stunned when he heard this and frowned: "Fusion?"
"Yes, they were all studying shadow magic. Later, my uncle became obsessed with it, causing his power to spiral out of control. He and his assistant, Charlie, were dragged into the Eternal Realm..." Wendy explained the details she knew, her expression still taut and serious. "Charlie is the one who attacks me at night, in complete darkness. She's now the Shadow Queen."
Hawkeye sorted out the relationship - Wendy's uncle Maxwell lost control of his power and merged with others, and even his consciousness was affected. The one who is currently in charge is his assistant Charlie, and Charlie should know that Wendy can free the trapped Maxwell, so he will attack Wendy in the dark.
As for why it is in the dark, it is easy to understand - the opponent's ability extends to all the dark corners in the world, and can be deployed by self-help part or clone.
Hawkeye's expression also became more serious: "In other words... your uncle is now being controlled by this Charlie?"
"Yes, Charlie has a dual personality. Maybe he was bewitched by power..." Wendy sighed. "It looks like I have to fight the Shadow Route to save my uncle this time. The final boss might be Charlie... The Shadow Five gays are her guards. But it's more important to fight the Celestial Route first. I need to get the Crown of Enlightenment first."
After all, the rest didn't matter. She wanted to get the new clothes first. It had been a long time since she had a new skin to wear.
Of the three outfits she's yet to find, the "Lava" set isn't her style, so it's fine with her. However, she really loves the "Moonward" and "Ancient" sets! She's even planning on wearing the "Ancient" set at her wedding! If she doesn't find it, there's no wedding!
As for the Celestial Line and the Shadow Line, she also needs to ask Long if he wants to join the team battle... After all, Long said last time that she would call him when fighting the BOSS.
[Go to the Moon] should be obtainable after turning on the celestial body prerequisites. As for [Ancient Times], ask Robin later if she is looking for any historical text that is ancient. Maybe you can obtain it by finding that one.
"Hey, Wendy Carter, have you decided on your destination?" Crocodile asked.
"It's decided," Wendy said. "Let's go open the map first!"
With Pluto! Of course, we need to light up the map first!
"You mean to occupy the territory first?" Crocodile smiled, eager to try, "That's exactly what I want!"
Wendy nodded over there: "That's right! Occupy the territory! And then put my wooden sign on everyone!"
Crocodile was a little disgusted: "What do you want a wooden sign for? You should let the people in your territory pay tribute to you, understand? Although most of the land has been divided up by the Four Emperors now, only a few poor places are left. If you ask for money and treasures, they won't be able to give it to you..."
Wendy nodded immediately: "Oh, then can I ask them to give me more cow dung? Our new home needs irrigation for farming."
"What... Wendy Carter! No sea king would demand cow dung as an offering! Now that we're in the New World, can you please stop caring about your crappy fields?"
"I don't want it. Building a family requires farming." Wendy frowned, looking unhappy, and said with her hands on her hips, "Kroc, you don't understand anything. If you continue like this, I won't lend you Pluto to play with."
"Are you still a child?" Crocodile's mouth twitched. He was very angry at this woman who always made him extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do - now he didn't know how to operate Pluto's firepower, let alone the secret of building Pluto.
"Krok, I'll be angry if you talk to me like that." Wendy said, expressionlessly taking out a pink petal broom and gently sweeping the backpack on his back - the originally ordinary backpack turned into the appearance of poop.
Wendy said solemnly, her expression rather unfathomable, "If you can't accept poop, you'll get used to it if you're exposed to it more."
Robin, who had been trying to hold back from the beginning, completely lost his composure at this moment: "Puff!"
This backpack is Wendy's entry-level gift, and Crocodile and Robin also have one. However, the former is a regular skinless version, while Robin's Wendy specially gave her a cute koala elephant skin backpack.
Crocodile realized something was wrong when he heard that. He took off his backpack and found it had turned into the shape of poop. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he immediately threw it away from him. With no other choice, he turned his head to look at the person he could communicate with and shouted, "Hey! Hawkeye! You don't care if your wife plays with poop!?"
Hawkeye walked over to Newsbird, who was standing far away on the side of the boat, not daring to approach Wendy, and bought a newspaper. He calmly replied, "That's fertilizer for irrigation."
Crocodile was convinced: "Are you and her of the same character?! No wonder you two can become husband and wife!"
Wendy ran to Hawkeye's side at this time, lowered her head, slipped under his arm and stood in his embrace, leaning over to read the newspaper. She did not forget to look up and correct Crocodile: "Mihawk and I are not married yet, but it will be soon. You can come to the wedding, and remember to bring a gift."
Crocodile was initially shocked by the fact that the two had a bunch of children even though they weren't married yet, and wanted to laugh at them, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately rejected it and said, "No gifts!"
Wendy immediately changed her tone: "Then don't come."
Crocodile: “…”
...Although this atmosphere has been pretty much constant for the past few days, I still have to sigh. I really can't tell these three are two of the Shichibukai and a newly appointed Emperor of the Sea. —Robin sighed inwardly, waving at the fleeing Newsbird and buying a newspaper from it. The latest headlines were undoubtedly all about Wendy.
This time, the newspaper featured a photo of Wendy herself, and the headline was quite provocative: [The "Suspected Pluto" Abigail Crashes into Shampoo Land! The Five Emperor "Players" Respond to the World's Doubts!]
"...As expected." Robin sighed softly, raised his hand to tuck his wind-blown hair behind his ears, and turned his head to look at the towering red earth continent that was getting farther and farther away and could no longer be seen.
——She could already foresee what the headlines of the next issue of the newspaper would be.
And if the next issue of the newspaper does not publish Wendy's call... then it proves that Wendy's uncle must be above Mary Joa, and his status is not ordinary.
Robin looked away, turned the page and continued reading, then his eyes widened a little and he couldn't help but let out a cry.
"Hey, Nico Robin, what does it say?" Crocodile asked.
"Hmm..." Robin stared at the line that read, "Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, quits the Shichibukai and follows Wendy Carter, suspected to have fallen in love with her at first sight." He was silent for a moment, then raised his head, a smile on his face as he replied, "It's about Wendy."
"Hmph, I knew it. That guy's relying on Pluto to get ahead..." Crocodile sneered, "But in the New World, things aren't so easy. Pluto will only attract the covetousness and challenges of others. Whether she can keep the title of the new Five Emperors is still unclear..."
Robin hummed a perfunctory nod and continued to read the news. Well, the newspapers seemed to be interpreting Mr. Crocodile's trip to Kraikana Island as a summons from the World Government. And because Mr. Crocodile's obsession with Pluto was unknown to others, his sudden betrayal and joining the ship were interpreted as a sign of love at first sight for Wendy, leading to his insistence on following her...
Let's not let him know about this kind of thing for the time being.
After all, if he gets angry, she will have to drive the boat.
While Robin was making his decision, Wendy saw her photo on the headline and nodded with satisfaction. She also said to Hawkeye, "Next time I will change into new clothes, so that there will be newspaper photos of different outfits."
That’s right, she doesn’t care about the content at all, she only cares about her collection of clothing photos.
Because she suddenly squeezed into his arms, Hawkeye simply handed her the newspaper and let her read it. He then put his arm around her waist, lowered his head slightly, and rested his chin on the top of her head. He asked something: "Besides telling you Mary Geoise's secret, did Doflamingo say anything else?"
Wendy nodded. "Yes, he hopes to be my companion again."
Hawkeye: "...What do you think?"
In fact, to be fair, Wendy's agreement is beneficial to her current situation... After all, Doflamingo specializes in smuggling and can provide a lot of information and materials, which is a beneficial option for Wendy to hold her current position.
Wendy frowned. "Well... although Dover can indeed provide a lot of information, I know that neither Luo nor you like him, so let's forget it."
Hawkeye was stunned: "Huh?"
"Didn't you fight with Dover at the Seven Warlords of the Sea Conference before? I know you don't like him, so forget it." Wendy said over there.
"...Yeah." Hawkeye responded, and just when he felt warm in his heart, he suddenly discovered his blind spot - no, he fought with Red Hair more!
He didn't think Wendy would lie, but it was clear now - between Doflamingo and him, she would make a choice in a second.
But if it was him and the redhead, she would start to act stupid.
"Sand Crocodile was right. If you want to build a home, it's best to have a place that's completely your own. Do you want to know where it is?"
"Well... I plan to take a look first. If I can't find something suitable, I'll go find Long first. I want to show him my beautiful ship! And Sabo can be seen by him too!" Wendy is very eager to share what she has - meaning to share it with you.
Hawkeye: "..." Well, if that's the case, the theory that Wendy is the real leader of the Revolutionary Army will probably spread.
“What a joke—!!!”
"Mr. Crocodile, please calm down. We all know that newspapers can distort the truth."
Wendy frowned, "Why is Kroc always so noisy?"
"Ignore him for now," Hawkeye replied, releasing his hand. He glanced at the seemingly calm sea, reached into his backpack, and pulled out his black knife. "Wendy, your first wave of challengers has appeared."
"Oh, here I come." Wendy put the newspaper into her backpack and took out a telescope to look at the sea. She was not panicked at all. "I know, it's just like the pirate monkeys on the sea, coming in waves, but if you defeat them, there might be some good drops!"
It was hard to defeat her with a large pancake ship before, but now she is as big as the Abigail! It is more than enough!
"Even if there are not many people, your pirate group should have a name as your followers gather. What do you plan to name it?" Hawkeye asked.
Wendy fell into thought—Wendy Pirates? Abigail Pirates? Carter Pirates? They all seemed a little off…
"Hmm..." Wendy thought for a while, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she made a decision, "Let's call it the Eternal Continent Pirates!"
After all, the game Don't Starve begins with the player being summoned to the Eternal Continent!
***
At the same time, in other parts of the New World, with the spread of newspapers, different voices emerged around the world.
"Did Wendy Carter really obtain Pluto?"
"It's just a little girl..."
"That's a player!"
"The World Government actually bowed its head... That must be Pluto, right?"
"What other warship besides Pluto could have attacked the Sabaody Archipelago and left safely?"
"She is really demonstrating, isn't she?"
"What grudge does she have against the Sabaody Archipelago?"
"I don't know. Could it be that there are Celestial Dragons again in the Sabaody Archipelago this time?"
"Has she come to the New World?"
"It's not that easy to survive in the New World. She's the weakest among the Five Emperors now, right? There's only her and Hawkeye... Oh yeah, there's one more Shichibukai, but that still doesn't have enough manpower, right?"
"Doesn't she have a child with the redhead? Won't the redhead help?"
"Then why is she still the Fifth Emperor? Why not just join Red Hair's army?"
"Wouldn't Red Hair become the strongest of the Four Emperors then?"
"Damn it! Could it be that Red Hair has been planning this for a long time?"
"Maybe... Look, didn't Big Mom also want to marry a gamer?"
"What are you guys thinking? This player is clearly planning to become the king, right?"
Of course, they didn't know that Big Mom was indeed tempted - if marrying Wendy Carter could give her the Pluto... then that might be a good idea...
Charlotte and the others panicked and tried to stop them.
"Calm down, Mom! She already has Hawkeye and Red Hair! Are you going to be third?!"
"Hey? Isn't there another sand crocodile? Isn't it ranked fourth?"
"That kind of person is paying for it themselves, and they don't even have a child, so there's no way they can have a legitimate status."
"That's right... Mom, calm down! If you join now, you'll be behind the red-haired guy!"
"That's right! Look, she's still flirting with Whitebeard! You can't trust her, Mom!"
As for the Red Hair Pirates...
"Well done!" Shanks looked at the newspaper with a smile on his face. "Now you can stand on your own two feet... Baker, how does it feel to drive the Pluto?"
"It's scary," Beckman replied, sighing, "After all, you never know where Wendy will take the boat next."
"Hahahaha, that's just her style!" Shanks stared at the photo in the newspaper. "Next... let's see how far she can go. After all, after this, it's not the time for us to help."
As for the Whitebeard Pirates...
"Oh, Wendy made it out! That's great!"
"So... did any of you see how she whizzed that Abigail out?"
"Isn't that Wendy's magic? Doesn't she always make things disappear and reappear?"
"Yes, she can make Dad's wine jug smaller, so she should be able to make the boat bigger too."
"Compared to this... is that really Pluto?"
"In that case, doesn't that mean Marco has driven a Pluto before? How does it feel?"
On the other side, Marco looked at the girl with a big smile in the newspaper, and it seemed that he was reminded of some teaching days that made him feel a little desperate... Fortunately, he was not the one with a headache now.
but……
"The real challenge lies after entering the New World..." Marco sighed, turning to look at Whitebeard, who was drinking from a large bowl (because Wendy had shrunk the wine jug but not resized it). "Dad, do you think Wendy can hold on to this position?"
Whitebeard put down his wine bowl with a snap, glanced at it, and snorted: "On this point... the attitude of the World Government has already given the answer."
If it weren't for fear, how could the World Government let Wendy, who had severely humiliated them, drive away directly on the ship that looked like Pluto's?
"As long as she can defend her ship next, she will become the new emperor of the sea."
After a few days, these inconsistent discussions gradually changed direction with the player Wendy Carter's declaration in front of Mary Geoise, the successive tragic defeats of those groups of challengers, and the gradual raising of Abigail's flags on some islands.
A month later, the captain of the Eternal Continent Pirates, [Player] Wendy Carter, officially became the fifth sea emperor of the New World with a bounty of 4 billion.

The author has something to say: The little emperor ascends the throne! [狗头]
Hawkeye is the real vice-chairman of the emperor (also the emperor's husband). Lao Sha is always planning to run away.
The Eternal Continent Pirates was something I had in mind a long time ago, and it also corresponds to One Piece's One Piece [Sunglasses]
The world where Don't Starve is located is called The Constant. The character is born on the Constant continent.
