Chapter 78: The Seventh Day of the New World Could it be that Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is...
Day 7 of the New World:
Neither Wendy nor Hawkeye is obsessed with devil fruits.
Wendy herself thinks that her setting is that she has eaten the Famine Fruit, and she already has a built-in Famine System. In the early days, the concept of Devil Fruit was used to distinguish whether or not a Devil Fruit could become her companion. Later, the Devil was simply removed and the Devil Fruit was treated as a fruit.
And because the devil fruit has no shelf life, she didn't put it in the refrigerator but threw it directly into the box.
Although Hawkeye's understanding of devil fruits is consistent with the public's perception of this world, he is a swordsman who likes to pursue pure strength and is not interested in power obtained by relying on external objects.
Therefore, when he saw Wendy snatch a devil fruit from the auction, he was just surprised and didn't even say much.
Because Wendy is a Devil Fruit user, she naturally won't eat a second Devil Fruit. The only use of this Devil Fruit now is to sell it for profit... but Wendy never uses money.
Therefore, this fruit was put aside and kept moved around in Wendy's box. Then, because there was less space in the box, Wendy took out the devil fruit that occupied a whole grid with disdain and prepared to consume it, so she simply used it to fish.
I just didn't expect to catch a person.
"It's a human..." Wendy looked disappointed as she looked at the devil fruit on her fishing rod that had been bitten. She turned to look at Hawkeye and asked, "Is this still usable?"
"The first person to take a Devil Fruit becomes a user. After that, the Devil Fruit becomes just an ordinary fruit. Until the user dies, the Devil Fruit will randomly respawn in the world." Hawkeye glanced at the unsure figure on the ground, who seemed either lucky or unlucky, and said, "You can wait for him to wake up and have him give you a new one."
After all, Wendy herself couldn't suffer any loss. —Hawkeye, still a pirate at heart, decided so.
***
The man who is unconscious, beaten by Wendy and owes a devil fruit is called Gild Tesoro.
He was an ordinary human being...at least until he took the "bait" laid by Wendy.
The first half of his life was very ordinary, just like most of the common people in this world. His family was poor, his gambling father died of illness, and his mother didn't want him. At the age of 12, he started to make a living on his own. At the age of 16, he was caught gambling in a casino... and then he met the love of his life - a girl named Stella at the slave auction house.
For the girl he fell in love with, he stopped hanging around in casinos and worked hard to earn money. However, three years later, when he was about to save enough money... the Celestial Dragons suddenly appeared and took Stella away easily.
His angry resistance only led to his arrest and even branding him as a slave of the Celestial Dragons. At this time, he did not despair. He only thought that if he also came to the holy land of Mary Geoise, he might be able to see Stella.
Two years later, he learned of Stella's death. He was filled with despair, believing it was because he wasn't rich enough. If he had enough money, he could have bought Stella in advance! He wouldn't have encountered such a thing! Stella wouldn't have died!
Then, four years ago, the fishman Tiger landed on Mary Geoise and freed a large number of slaves, and he was one of them.
After escaping, he faced the world with a heart full of despair and anger. He heard about the Gold-Gold Fruit and was determined to get it - because he believed that people must have money, and the Gold-Gold Fruit related to gold was his best target.
He had even gotten news of the auction and secretly made all the arrangements to snatch the fruit... and then at the auction, he and a group of nobles and Celestial Dragons were beaten into idiots by Abigail.
Gild Tesoro recognized Abigail. After all, he had also seen the bounty order and knew that the White Demon was attacking the Celestial Dragons and was secretly cheering for them... He just didn't expect to meet the White Demon at this kind of auction, as well as the White Demon's owner - who seemed to be a Celestial Dragon as well.
When he woke up, everything had settled down and the Golden-Gold Fruit was nowhere to be found.
Gild Tesoro became even more desperate, but he did not give up. He had been secretly tracking the whereabouts of the White Devil. However, it seemed that the World Government was doing the same thing and had blocked and suppressed all news about it... He only knew that the master of the White Devil had liberated a group of slaves. He even found those scattered slaves to ask, but no one was willing to speak.
He himself was once a freed slave and was always grateful to Tiger for freeing him, so he did not make things difficult for this group of people.
As for why he fell into the river and was hooked by Wendy, it actually had something to do with Hawkeye - because when Gild Tesoro was lurking in the Sabaody Archipelago, he discovered Wendy, who looked similar to the master of the white devil, and determined that the two might have a relationship, and then tried to track her ship... In the end, Hawkeye judged that both the person and the boat were malicious followers and cut them off with a single blow.
Wendy didn't know because she was busy picking up trash at the time.
After losing all his initial capital, Gild Tesoro drifted to the New World for various reasons, and was then recruited by the Charlotte family in the Wan Guo territory. He refused to surrender and was beaten and drifted into the sea. When he was on the verge of death, he saw the Gold-Gold Fruit he had dreamed of, and his potential exploded and he took the bait... Then he was hooked and beaten.
When he woke up from his coma, he was thinking that he had survived and that this time he would take back everything that belonged to him...but then he felt the blade of a knife against his neck and heard a cold voice: "Don't pretend to be asleep if you wake up."
Gild Tesoro opened his eyes and looked over, his breath stagnating - it was Hawkeye... and the master of the white devil!
The reason why I was so sure that the blonde girl was the one was because... the white devil was right next to her!
Sure enough, she is... But why is she here... Isn't she a Celestial Dragon? And why is Hawkeye always beside her...
Could it be that Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is her...subordinate?
Wendy had no idea what was going on in the mind of this unassuming young man. Seeing him wake up, she jumped up from her chair, walked over to him, and looked down at him. "You ate my devil fruit, you have to compensate me with one."
Tesoro was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He knew he was at a disadvantage in this situation, so he knew what to do and immediately agreed. "I'm Gild Tesoro! I'll get a lot of money in the future, and naturally I'll get more Devil Fruits too! I'll offer them to you after I get them! Including the money I've earned!"
He didn't even think about resisting. After all, not to mention that there was a Shichibukai next to him who he couldn't defeat at all, he had also personally experienced the horror of the white devil.
"I don't want money. Why give me something I don't need?" Wendy put her hands on her hips, looking dissatisfied. "Just compensate me for what you ate!"
Although she has no interest in devil fruits, she can throw them away, but she cannot let others eat them, and they must compensate her. Just like when she fights monsters, if other monsters eat the monsters she kills, even if it is monster meat that she doesn't need, she will get angry.
Tesoro was confused by her words, and the firm thoughts in his heart became uncertain - could it be... that she is not a Celestial Dragon?
However, at this moment, he was also very flexible and immediately changed his words: "I will return it to you as soon as I get a new devil fruit!"
Wendy nodded, "That's more like it... Mihawk, let him go."
After regaining his freedom, Tezulo was still a little dazed. Eh? Just like that? Should I believe him just because he said so?
Of course, he didn't know that in Wendy's simple view of players, the NPC would definitely take back the things given through the plot after promising to give them something.
In Hawkeye's opinion, if Tesoro doesn't give it to Wendy, then everything that person has will become Wendy's... He is not worried that Wendy will suffer.
Because this NPC became a plot trigger in Wendy's eyes, Wendy kindly gave him a boat and a driftwood paddle - of course, it was not the blueprint boat produced by Tom's Studio that cost more materials, but Wendy's most traditional pancake boat.
Hawkeye seemed to be hesitant to speak after seeing this - he was a little worried that the debtor would be gone before Wendy could collect the money.
Gild Tezulo didn't mind. The situation was much better than he had imagined.
Before boarding the pancake boat, he couldn't help but ask the blonde girl the question that had been lingering in his mind: "You don't seem to care about this devil fruit or money, so why did you cause a scene at the auction earlier?"
Wendy blinked twice and answered truthfully, "I heard there were Celestial Dragons and slave collars over there. I went to fight them and then retrieved the slave collars."
...To think it was for this purpose! —Tesoro was deeply shocked and subconsciously asked, "So you are not a Celestial Dragon?"
"I'm not that ugly!" Wendy said unhappily, putting her hands on her hips and looking up, declaring, "I'm a great player!"
Player...does that mean everything she does is like a game to her?
Tezulo's expression became much more serious, and he asked one last question: "What is your purpose?"
Hawkeye, who had been listening, suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard this - wait, this topic might be leading to something...
An NPC actually asked me about the main storyline? Is he also part of the main storyline?
Wendy was a little confused, but that didn't stop her from shouting out her goal: "Of course..."
At this time, Hawkeye interrupted, leaned over and whispered to her, "Wendy, don't talk about your uncle."
Wendy nodded, pulled back Uncle Liberation, and shouted, "Of course, to pull down the man who currently sits on the Nightmare Throne in Mary Geoise!"
Hawkeye: “…”
Forget it, it’s okay... At least her own identity information is saved.
Gild Tesoro was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was deeply moved. When he spoke again, his words came from the heart: "In that case, I wish you good luck in your career! When I build my own power in the future, I will not only give you devil fruits, but also take away anything you need!"
After he finished speaking, he got on the boat Wendy had given him and rowed away.
Wendy watched him walk away like this, then turned to look at Hawkeye, a little confused: "Mihawk, what kind of career do I have?"
Doesn't she just farm, build a house, explore the world, and then play the main story when she has nothing to do?
"..." Hawkeye was silent for a long time before he slowly replied, "Maybe they think you're a revolutionary."
It's even possible that in this person's mind, Wendy will be the true leader of the revolutionary army...

The author has something to say: Yes, the one caught is the future Golden Emperor! [Sunglasses]
In the heart of the Golden Emperor, Wendy is the true leader of the Revolutionary Army, and Dragon is the fake one (Dragon:?)
