Chapter 156: The Tenth Day of God's Knight (530,000 Nutrient Solution Plus)...
The 10th Day of God's Knight:
Wendy looked at the stone, scratched her hair, and looked a little distressed - because she couldn't understand it at all.
Some players enjoy exploring the open world to uncover clues and hidden Easter eggs, while others prefer to let the game tell them the story. Wendy falls somewhere in between.
After looking at it for a long time, Wendy made a decision - just take it back and ask Robin, since Robin would definitely know it anyway.
She set up a wooden sign in Big Mom's room, and then tried to teleport back by carrying the huge red stone with words on it... but failed.
"Huh? Is there a bug again?" Wendy scratched her head, a little confused. She didn't choose the Abigail, but chose Kraikana Island to try it out - and she passed it smoothly.
Thanks to the Don't Starve system, she could carry any of these stone tablets, though her speed would be infinitely slowed down by the weight. However, carrying them home wouldn't have much of an impact.
After placing the stone tablet in her room in the castle, Wendy teleported back, picked up her walking stick, looked at her loot in her backpack, and trotted downstairs with satisfaction. Never mind! Since the wooden tablet on the boat had a problem, she'd find another way back.

Downstairs, Kizaru was still fighting with Katakuri.
"It looks like you're really working for Wendy Carter..." Katakuri narrowed his eyes and demanded loudly, "Have you completely decided to defect from the navy to become a pirate? Where's your sense of justice?"
"It's strange for a pirate like you to say something like that, isn't it?" Kizaru thought this scene was a bit darkly humorous, but that didn't stop him from winning the verbal duel. "My justice...has never changed!"
Originally, he was only carrying out ambiguous justice, and his attitude remained as ambiguous as before.
However, while watching Vegapunk doing his research, he noticed something he said.
"Weren't you previously focused on researching weapons that could bring peace? Why are you suddenly switching to crops?"
"Hahaha... This isn't just Wendy's order; it's something I've been wanting to research myself." Vegapunk looked at the seeds in his hand, his gaze gentle. "After talking to her, I'm starting to think... maybe peace shouldn't be discussed until everyone has had a good meal."
Zhan Taomaru, who was carrying a huge tomato, nodded seriously: "Yes! That's right!"
Kizaru couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed with this idea. He didn't know whether Wendy Carter could bring about true peace, but...
At least here, so far, I haven't done anything I didn't want to do. -- Kizaru thought.
Katakuri frowned: "Do you think Wendy Carter is justice?"
Kizaru neither admitted nor denied: "Who knows."
Wendy came down at this time. She had already put on protective gear - BIG MOM's cloak with 99% defense power. In order to explore the map, she also wore a pirate hat of the same style as BIG MOM on her head. She looked like she was COS BIG MOM, but she was not serious at all and did not look like it at all.
This kind of outfit, especially on the Island of International Cakes, made Charlotte Katakuri choke up when she saw it—too arrogant! Wendy Carter!
"Polu Polu, my wooden sign is useless now. Please take me back to the Abigail." Wendy reached out and grabbed Kizaru's collar and pulled it.
"Wendy Carter! What did you just do upstairs!" Charlotte Katakuri demanded.
"Hmm?" Wendy looked over, thought for a moment, and then said honestly, "I took some spare hats and cloaks. Lingling wants to break up with me, and I'll be out of them if they run out of durability, so I need to stock up. Then I saw a big red stone tablet. It might be a clue to a new route, so I took it."
A large red stone tablet... could it be the main text of the red history? — Kizaru looked at Wendy with a hint of shock on his face.
Even though he has no interest in history and has no desire to become the Pirate King, Kizaru knows the role of the historical texts hidden in this world.
There are four pieces of red historical text. If you collect them all, you can get a signpost to Raftel, the end of the Grand Line. After Roger announced the existence of One Piece before his death, this signpost is the location of the great treasure. It is equivalent to becoming the next Pirate King and obtaining the treasure of the previous Pirate King if you collect them all.
But Wendy clearly isn't interested in One Piece...
"There are ancient words on that stone. It must be a clue to the ancient thread. I will take it back as a gift for Robin!" Wendy said in an innocent tone.
Kizaru: “…” Well, this kid didn’t think of anything.
He was helpless, so he bent down and whispered, "Little Princess, it's better not to say this kind of thing out loud."
Katakuri on the opposite side also came to his senses and said in disbelief: "You took the historical text?!"
"What main text?" Wendy looked over with a confused look on her face.
Of course, Katakuri thought her genuine confusion was just a pretense at the moment - she had already done such a thing as sneaking in (openly) and taking away the historical text without anyone noticing, so it was ridiculous for her to still pretend to be innocent at this time!
"Wendy Carter! You are declaring war on the Big Mom Pirates!" Katakuri said sternly, "I will never let you go--"
"It's not up to you to decide." Kizaru continued, frowning slightly - he should speed up a little more seriously... otherwise, it would be troublesome when Big Mom wakes up and joins the battle.
"Hey - I have to go. I've already unlocked the Ancient quest line and obtained the Ancient Set. I should go back now." Wendy said, looking at Kizaru, "Can you take me with you? Otherwise, I'll use the wooden sign to go to Newgate first, and you can come and take me."
If she wasn't in ghost form and was still floating too slowly, she would have chosen to die again and then float back to life. After all, Vegapunk, Robin, Hawkeye, and Ace on the ship could all revive her.
...Why go to Whitebeard's place? He doesn't have any historical texts to steal.
Even though Kizaru didn't like to be in charge, he felt that he had to persuade his boss not to be too radical at this time, and finally ran away with his boss.
Of course, although it was said to be carried, it was actually more polite to let the boss sit on his shoulders and hold him away from here - as to whether the boss was polite or not, that was another matter.
"What a big fuss it was..." After leaving Banko, Kizaru couldn't help but sigh like this.
He had a feeling that tomorrow's newspaper would be very "exciting".
He didn't ask why Wendy and Big Mom had clashed. When he heard the news from the Revolutionary Army on the Abigail, he had a vague feeling that there would be a conflict between the two, otherwise he wouldn't have come all this way to pick them up.
In fact, aside from the gigantic experiment, Big Mom and Wendy are not on the same page. The former is ambitious and wants to arm her team to achieve the highest combat effectiveness, while the latter... the latter is also ambitious and wants everyone in the world to join her in farming.
Both of them are willful and selfish people. Big Mom will ask others to achieve her goals, otherwise she will punish and intimidate them; while Wendy is willful and does not care about other people's wishes and behaviors. She will not force others and will only do her own thing.
When the two returned to the Abigail, they found that something was not right - because the Abigail looked damaged, and the underwater trees that had grown quite strong and formed a small land also looked a little damaged.
The reason why Wendy couldn't come back at that time was also found out - the wooden sign was destroyed.
After seeing the two return, the protective shield covering the small research institute that Vegapunk had placed on the water tree opened. Zhan Taomaru walked out with an axe in hand, his face solemn and filled with regret. "I'm sorry, Miss Wendy. Miss Robin was captured by the World Government to protect us..."
Yellow Monkey frowned: "What's going on?"
"Two cloaked enemies, like Wendy, who could emerge from magic circles, arrived... Because they caused considerable damage, Ace and Hawkeye lured them away to prevent damage to the Abigail. Then, the World Government... most likely CP agents, showed up, wanting to capture Mr. Vegapunk. Robin lured them away to ensure the shield opened smoothly, but she was captured herself..." Tom's face was filled with worry. "Wendy, what should we do?"
Vegapunk also looked at Kizaru, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "Borsalino, you are faster, please save Robin."
Did the World Government take direct action? Did they decide, after observing and evaluating the situation, that Wendy posed a significant threat to them and ultimately decided to take action?
As expected... this pirate group still has too few people, and the non-core fighters are too important. If a powerful person appears and distracts several core fighters, the situation will become very bad.
Kizaru looked at Wendy standing over there and asked, "What do you say we should do, Captain?"
Wendy stood there, a dazed look on her face, as if she was stunned.
After a long while, she finally let out a long sigh, a look of regret on her face: "I didn't expect that after opening the ancient line, my house would still be robbed..."
If she had known earlier, she would have prepared and opened it again! She shouldn't have been so impulsive just for the ancient set!
Wendy checked the Abigail's durability—only 34% remained.
Wow... That's a lot of damage! Those guys seem pretty strong. —Wendy thought so and called Ace: "Ace, how are you and Mihawk doing?"
***
At the same time, on the other side, Ace answered the phone.
"Wendy? These guys are strong! And they seem to have a resurrection skill. Ordinary attacks can't cause any damage..." Ace's tone was very serious, and he was panting with obvious exhaustion as he spoke. His tone was also filled with regret. "Mihawk has temporarily restrained them, but he can't completely kill them... How's the situation on the Abigail?"
He had always been in the New World, and because of his strong aptitude, he hadn't encountered any particularly formidable opponents in battle... But this time, he truly saw the gap. Suddenly, a feeling of resentment and a desire to become stronger emerged.
【When I came back, Robin had been captured.】
"What?! Are they targeting Robin?"
Vegapunk interjected at the right moment: [Robin was taken away to protect us... The others were safe because Robin distracted the enemy.]
At this time, Hawkeye also watched the enemy disappear from the magic circle and put away the black knife in his hand.
"Wendy, you're back?" He walked over and replied, "Those who came are from the Knights of God. The one you met before isn't here this time. Probably realizing you've returned, they retreated. Their method of retreat is similar to the one you used with the teleportation focus magic circle, except it looks like it's covered in black flames, most likely the shadow power you mentioned... If Robin only has CP0 people on her side, it should be easier to intercept them. You could catch up with them in the Abigail... You've already gone over, right?"
"Yeah, that's right. I just changed the mod and temporarily replaced the wooden sign mod with global teleportation, so I can see Robin's location... Mihawk, I'm a little angry this time."
Hawkeye responded, "Yeah."
Wendy's tone became somewhat complaining as she spoke: "I opened some new clothes and wanted to wear them for you to see."
...New clothes? Which one? — Hawkeye had a vague guess and replied, "After this is over, that's fine."
I'm still very unhappy.
"After this is over, I'll find a way to be happy."
"Okay... I'll come back to see you after I pick up Robin."
The call was hung up.
Ace put away the Watch Den Den Mushi. The anxious look on his face didn't dissipate, but instead became more severe. He looked at Hawkeye and said with a hint of uneasiness in his voice, "Mihawk..."
"It's just a minor injury." Hawkeye replied. The blood on his right arm stained his white shirt red. His expression did not change. "Don't tell Wendy."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: It’s finally down to single digits… (wipes sweat)
I was a little conflicted when writing this chapter, because in the original work, the most difficult and controversial design is... combat power... The combat power of the sea helicopter is always there in the fight.jpg
Hawkeye appears very rarely, and I don’t know if the total cut time is even half an hour (this is the time it takes for the original TV series). His combat power is also difficult to describe. It seems that it is difficult to fight without Conqueror’s Haki now, and Conqueror’s Haki has not yet appeared in the original work of Hawkeye. I don’t know if there will be any future version updates... In fact, what I am most worried about now is that WT will suddenly add a background story to Hawkeye (.) I hope they don’t do that before I finish!
Actually, I used to like Rayleigh very much, but after the story between him and Xia Qi came out, I lost interest... I'd rather focus on other old men.jpg
Anyway, any differences from the original are just my personal settings! The current combat power of the Divine Knight is still very high because of the support from Yimu.
