Chapter 179: First Day of the Faction War Let’s quickly stand at the top of the world…
Faction War Day 1:
Wendy didn't know that her adoption of Luffy was finally known by Luffy's biological father. What she cared about now was the start of her own main storyline.
After she said that, the people of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at her with a sense of awe - although they didn't know what was going on, they always felt that something very important was going on!
However, Teach's defection left a significant impact. He injured his companions, stole the fruit, and escaped, which violated the rules of the Whitebeard Pirates and was tantamount to challenging Whitebeard's authority.
However, after Whitebeard learned about this, he looked solemn. Not only did he not send troops to chase after them, he also recalled those who were chasing Blackbeard.
"I have a bad feeling... Don't go over there yet. Treat the wounded." After saying this, he looked gravely at Wendy, who was also looking serious. "I need to speak to Wendy Carter. You should all leave first."
After clearing the area, Whitebeard took the lead in asking the most important question: "What's so special about the devil fruit that Teach stole?"
Although there will be introductions in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, it is impossible to clearly state all the attributes, so it is just a general introduction.
Since Wendy said at the time that eating the fruit would naturally turn you into her enemy, she must have known.
"That's shadow power, symbolizing nightmares, emptiness, and fear..." Wendy's expression grew increasingly serious. "It's the opposite of the moon power I possess. He's my enemy!"
Actually, the system didn't say that, but Wendy, relying on her years of gaming experience, came up with the correct answer—the Dark-Dark Fruit. The Devil Fruit encyclopedia says it's the darkest power... Isn't that obvious? This must be referring to Eternal Night!
"Teach stole treasure, injured a companion, and then defected. The Whitebeard Pirates will expel him... We can announce this publicly as the reason for our alliance." After pondering for a moment, Whitebeard made a decisive decision. "Are you planning to attack Mary Geoise?"
"Yes." Wendy nodded. "The dark forces have appeared. If I want to prevent the arrival of eternal night, I must defeat the shadow forces."
"Including the man on the throne?"
Wendy nodded again: "Yes. Otherwise, if the Shadow Rift is opened, the world will be shrouded in darkness."
Wendy meant what she said literally - after the Shadow Rift opens and enters the eternal night, the world will be shrouded in darkness!
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, staring at her for a long time, and suddenly opened up another topic: "When I was young, I once participated in a battle... Let's not talk about that for now, Wendy Carter, what do you think the world is?"
…Everyone loves discussing things related to the world.
Wendy sighed inwardly, but replied confidently, "I am the world!"
She really thought so in her heart - the whole world belongs to her, she is the center of the world, so naturally she is the world!
These familiar words made Whitebeard stunned for a moment. He looked at her with a somewhat incredible look. After a while, he burst into laughter: "Gulala... The [world] I saw when I was young was not as lovely as you!"
Whitebeard recalled the Battle of God Valley that he had participated in a long time ago. Before he established his own pirate group, his captain Rocks... Back then, the "world" that Rocks pointed at was much more hideous.
Although she didn't know what the other person was talking about, it didn't stop Wendy from nodding in agreement: "Yeah, I'm the cutest."
"In that case..." Whitebeard stood up, picked up his knife, and tore off the IV tubes on his body. He looked down at the tiny Wendy in front of him and made a promise, "Then go stand at the top of the world quickly. I will do my best to send you there!"
***
Wendy actually doesn't quite understand Whitebeard's attitude, but that doesn't stop her from accepting it completely - anyway, as a player, when going through the main storyline, you only need to keep clicking the spacebar to go through the conversation.
But in the end the system popped up:
[Edward Newgate requests to be your companion, do you accept?]
【whether】
...Wow, this is the first time someone has actively asked to be my companion!
Wendy was happy, and immediately rubbed her heart with a snitch in her heart, ran to Whitebeard and stretched out her hand, which scared Whitebeard.
After learning about the purpose of this heart and finding out that this heart can be made in unlimited quantities, Whitebeard vaguely understood why Wendy was so fragile but still alive and well - she must have died a lot in the past!
After officially becoming companions, Wendy's true intentions were revealed - she directly asked for Whitebeard's coat.
This time, Whitebeard was not stingy and did not refuse to give it - the alliance also requires a token of trust, and he gave it just a coat, but he gave it a heart. Although it was mass-produced.
Wendy immediately put it in her backpack to check its properties.
【Whitebeard Edward Newgate's coat】:
Description: This is a coat gifted to the player by Edward Newgate, Whitebeard. Wearing it will cause the player to become a Navy Red Name, increase Whitebeard's territory friendship, decrease other faction friendship, and increase their own prestige. While wearing it, the player can use a small-scale earthquake attack.
Note 1: This item is given to the player voluntarily by Edward Newgate. This item can only be used by the player and has permanent durability.
Note 2: After wearing it, the success rate of adopting a child increases by 50%.
Wendy was surprised and delighted by the result. "Wow! Now I don't have to work so hard digging up the tree roots myself! Just tap the ground a few times and that's it!"
She went back happily, and everyone could see it at a glance.
"Have you formed an open alliance with Whitebeard?" Aokiji asked.
Wendy nodded: "Yes, how did you know?"
Aokiji: “I can tell.”
After all, she was wearing Whitebeard's coat... But Wendy Carter's backpack was indeed magical. After she put the things in it, no matter how big or small they were, they would fit her size when she took them out.
"Newgate is my companion now!" Wendy stuffed her cloak back into her backpack and ran over to tell everyone about the series of things she had encountered with Whitebeard. "The person who hurt Shanks before stole the Dark-Dark Fruit and will gain the power of shadow and become my enemy. The Shadow Fissure may open. I have to prevent this from happening. It's time to move on to the main storyline. Newgate also thinks I am the world and wants to send me to Mary Geoise."
Everyone: "..." It sounds like each of these things are big things! But the incoherence between the introduction and the conclusion makes it seem unclear!
And why did Whitebeard think Wendy was the world?! Why was he suddenly sending you to Marijoa? Are you his illegitimate daughter, and he finally acknowledged you as his biological child?!
So, everyone looked at Hawkeye, waiting for him to translate.
"..." Hawkeye looked over calmly, "I'm not a real translator, how can I understand you every time?"
Hawkeye was a little confused by Wendy this time. He could barely understand the first two sentences...but he was also confused when he got to Whitebeard.
The most important thing is that he doesn't think Wendy is Whitebeard's illegitimate daughter.
Fortunately, although Wendy's words were a mess, she was still able to answer every question. After asking for a long time, everyone finally figured out the whole story.
However, Aokiji asked a question at this time: "What is the intention to tell tales?"
Everyone looked at him, then stared at Wendy for a moment.
"Because Kuzan doesn't want to be my partner yet." Wendy stuffed herself with a dragon fruit pie to make up for the blood she lost when she rubbed the Telltale Heart, and said with a righteous look, "So it's your fault!"
It’s definitely not that she forgot!
Aokiji: “…” But you didn’t let me go?
Let's be practical. Does he have any other choice now besides staying here? Whether he returns to the Navy or joins another faction, others will only regard him as an undercover agent from the Eternal Continent. No one believes that he was defeated twice in one blow and then captured and locked up, unable to escape.
In the end, Aokiji finally obtained the Telltale Heart and began to seriously consider what kind of species Wendy Carter was. In short, someone who could easily create an external heart that could resurrect her must be no ordinary person...
Originally, he'd thought Kizaru's thinking was flawed, but now he was almost convinced he had a point—a human capable of infinite resurrection was essentially beyond the realm of humanity, wasn't he? No wonder Kizaru still considered her the former creator god. Even Whitebeard acknowledged her as the world... No, on closer inspection, that was still too far-fetched.
Wendy didn't care what he thought at all. She had already filled up the spots for her companions and the main storyline was also on the agenda. It was time to go to the Nightmare Throne!
When Wendy thought she had finished talking and ran out to play by herself, the rest of the people were still discussing.
Robin raised another question: "Wendy said that Teach doesn't need to sleep either, and will gain the same shadow power as her... Will he also have the same power as Wendy? Can he be resurrected too?"
"I asked Wendy, and she said that resurrection is something only players can do, and she's the only player in this world." Hawkeye replied, "So I don't think the other party can be resurrected."
"I agree with this. The resurrection of the little princess is based on the fact that she cannot kill people at will. As for Teach, just kill him and see if he can be resurrected." Kizaru gave the answer.
Aokiji frowned, "But Wendy specifically named them as her enemies, so there should be a difference, right?"
As soon as they finished speaking, they felt the hull vibrate. Their expressions changed immediately, thinking it was an enemy attack. They rushed out to see that it was Wendy wearing Whitebeard's coat and showing off to Bonnie: "Look, after I have this trick, I don't have to dig out the roots myself when I chop down trees anymore. I can just shake them out directly."
Bonnie clapped her hands vigorously over there: "That's amazing——!"
The dwarfs hanging from Bonnie's body also applauded: "As expected of Player Lando!"
The five members that the Eternal Continent Pirates are really worried about: "..."
"Is it possible that she can share other people's abilities like Wendy?" Big Bear guessed.
The others nodded - well, this seems to be the most reliable answer at the moment...
***
After this meeting, Wendy was forbidden from using Whitebeard's cloak on board.
She didn't feel any regrets either - she felt a little seasick after playing for a while, and Tom even came over to check on the condition of the New Abigail.
It was also at this time that she received a call from Long.
"Wendy, did you adopt Luffy?" Long asked directly.
Wendy was silent for a moment, then she said loudly, "What are you talking about? I don't know!"
The people around her couldn't help but stare at her - this person really couldn't lie at all.
"I'm not here to question you. It's true that you took better care of Luffy. If you want to adopt him, I have no objection as long as he agrees... I'm just here to inform you that there are CP0 members from the World Government who are hunting Luffy. They might want to capture him and threaten you."
This is Dragon's guess, because in Wendy's network of relationships, the only person CP0 is sure to catch is Luffy.
"Oh..." Wendy was a little surprised, but then she figured it out - it was probably the plot that came with the parent-child mod.
After she hung up the phone, she specifically told Sabo and Ace to be careful. Ace couldn't sit still and wanted to go see Luffy, but was stopped by Shanks.
"Mihawk and I will go find Luffy!" Wendy made the decision.
"But if the World Government is planning to target you directly, leaving rashly might lead to the same situation as last time..." Robin thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't Mr. Big Bear and I go there?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: This world is a response to the latest episode of One Piece, where Rocks said that Im is the world [dog head]
PS: After watching the new episode of One Piece, I really have to say that Rocks’s characterization is full of charm... He is really not comparable to his son Blackbeard.
As for the Valley of the Gods, aside from Sha Qi's rather unspeakable scenes, the rest was pretty good. Walter White was incredibly charming in this episode, truly a man of integrity and righteousness. I suspect he knew Blackbeard was taken in by Rocks' son, and I suspect Rocks was the reason he showed some mercy when Blackbeard begged for mercy.
