One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 7: Adults Make Choices
After watching the King of the Sea go away, Shanuo continued to climb along the ladder.

After a while, he reached the top. He grabbed the railing, but before he could flip over, suddenly more than a dozen arms stretched out.

——Some people held his armpits, some lifted his knees, and the boy couldn't move at all. Like a freshly caught fish, he was held steadily by everyone and passed through the cheering and whistling crowd.

"Eh? Wait, what are you doing?" he shouted in panic.

Unfortunately, no one answered him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gat smiling as he took out his pipe, tapped it, and lit it. The smell of tobacco wafted over.

The next moment, Xia Nuo felt his body lighten and he was suddenly thrown up.

“Wow—Hey!”

"Don't do this, put me down!"

“Wow—Hey!”

"I'm afraid of heights... Uh, no, I just had a full meal and I'm going to throw up if I keep doing this!"

“Wow—Hey!”

"That's enough! You're repaying kindness with enmity, huh? I should have let the sea kings eat you all!"

“Wow—Hey!”

"Just eat me too!"

……

After an unknown amount of time, Xia Nuo was finally let down. He felt dizzy and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

The old sailors do heavy physical work all year round, and their arm strength is really amazing. He was tossed around in the sky, as if he had been riding a roller coaster for a whole day.

Even though I could quickly overcome seasickness, I now had the urge to lie over the railing and vomit violently.

"That's awesome, Brother Shanuo!"

Gat gave a thumbs up, blew out a puff of smoke, his face full of emotion.

"You're such a hidden talent! I actually questioned you earlier and treated you like a child. I'm so old and confused that I'm blind. Now I don't know whether I should apologize or thank you first."

The desperate and depressing situation just now was so despairing that even an old captain like him who had been sailing on the sea for decades had given up on himself and was ready to die in vain.

On the contrary, the other party is able to remain calm at a young age, accurately judge the situation, and act decisively without hesitation when it is time to take action.

He truly admired the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, and even the way he addressed him changed from "boy" to "brother" unconsciously.

"Just apologize, no need to thank me."

Xia Nuo rubbed his still dizzy forehead, "You make me look like a bystander who has nothing to do with this matter. I'm on this boat too, and I'm just trying to protect myself."

"How can you say that, little brother!"

"Yes, you saved our entire ship!"

"I will never forget you in this life!"

Everyone started talking in a flurry and became noisy again. Someone muttered, "Should we continue the party?", and then there were comments like, "Idiot, weren't we just having a party?", "That one is too small, it's not enough to celebrate our escape from death", "Indeed, we need to have a more lively and grand party".

Then they all converged into one voice, echoing throughout the entire deck—

"Have a party! Have a party! Have a party!"

"Okay!" Gat also became excited, laughing heartily and making the final decision. "Then everyone go help and start the party right away. No one is allowed to leave tonight, and we won't stop until we're drunk!"

“Never stop until you’re drunk!”

The sailors scattered and bustled around, some cleaning up the banquet, some carrying wine, some preparing dishes and cutting meat, some reassembling the tables... From the looks of it, it looked like they were going to start the banquet within half an hour.
Only Xia Nuo was left disheveled in the wind.

No, that's not right, is it?
Having just been hit dozens of times by the King of the Offshore like a cup, shouldn't the first thing to do be to check whether the hull is leaking or the keel is falling apart?
…………

The next day.

When Shanuo woke up, he felt a splitting headache. Was this a hangover? The glaring sunlight came in through the porthole, and it seemed that it was already noon.

He patted his head and finally vaguely remembered that he was the protagonist of the banquet last night and was forced to drink countless glasses of wine by the enthusiastic sailors.

At first he was very restrained when drinking, but later he went crazy, his face flushed, and he linked arms with the sailors, dancing wildly and singing crazy songs around the campfire.

What are these people doing?

I am still a minor, how can I drink alcohol?

As he hastily put on his wrinkled coat, Shanuo suddenly froze - this cabin covered with velvet curtains was so large that it could even fit his original bed as a footrest. There was even a scent of lemon in the private bathroom.

Wow, I got an upgrade. This is probably the best room on the ship, right?

Compared with the simple cabin I stayed in before, it was a special single room, which was directly upgraded to a presidential suite.

He opened the refrigerator and took out a Coke. The sound of carbon dioxide escaping when the can was opened and the refreshing feeling of the icy, sweet Coke flowing down his throat finally made him feel a lot more refreshed.

"Huh? Brother Xia Nuo, are you awake already?"

It was a sailor passing by who heard the noise and spoke enthusiastically outside the door, "How are you? Are you hungry? What do you like to eat? How about I get it for you?"

"No need to bother, thank you." Xia Nuo said quickly, "You go and do your own thing. I'll go to the restaurant by myself if I get hungry."

"Okay, we'll do as you say! Just tell us if you have anything to say!"

After the other party's footsteps faded away, Xia Nuo fell back into the sofa and couldn't wait to open the system.

Eating? He had just received a huge sum of money yesterday, and the trading market was supposed to be refreshed in the next few days. It was too late to eat, and shopping was not important!

A dark blue panel appeared before his eyes, and Xia Nuo's eyes skipped over the front and fell directly on the last two lines.

[Remaining points: 10025]

He finally understood those who liked to laugh foolishly at their treasures.

Once you have more savings, sometimes even if you do nothing, you will just stare at your bank card balance over and over again, and a sense of satisfaction and security will emerge all at once, making you feel as comfortable as if you were on cloud nine.

It was a long time before he took his eyes off the balance column.

Looking to the right, a new page immediately appears, with product pictures on top and detailed introductions and prices below.

If you find something you’re interested in, you can add it to your shopping cart. If you don’t want to buy something, you can just swipe down with your mind and browse the next item.

This is the trading market.

Ten new products will be randomly refreshed every month. As long as you have enough points, you can buy them at will before the next refresh period.

At first, Xia Nuo thought it was all system direct sales, but he quickly came to his senses.

This is more like a Taobao that connects countless worlds. Except for a small number of products provided by the system, most of them seem to come from individual sellers in other worlds.

The things for sale are quite varied, with all sorts of things, as if each world has assigned a time traveler to dig for treasures everywhere.

Every time I swipe down, I feel like opening a blind box.

He quite liked this part.

As soon as the monthly refresh period comes, I will take a look around.

Unfortunately, I was so poor before that I could hardly afford anything and could only watch.

Occasionally there are bargains, but I have to weigh the pros and cons, and most of the time I have to give up with reluctance. After three years, I only bought breathing boxing and basic swordsmanship.

Now I am rich.

I have to make a big purchase this time. If you see something you like, just add it to the shopping cart!

Adults are indecisive and need to make choices, but I'm still a child, so of course I want them all!
He quickly focused and browsed the first item.

Statue of Hercules

[Type: Blessing props]

[Price: 2000 Points] [Description: The greatest hero in ancient Greek mythology, who ascended to Mount Olympus after his death and has since become synonymous with strength. This meticulously crafted statue stands approximately 20 cm tall. When placed within a ten-meter range during physical training, it will provide you with a triple efficiency boost, which can be combined with other items.]

[Seller's note: This has happened before, so be careful not to lose anything! Some of them are like they have auto-pickup turned on and steal everything.]

"Triple efficiency boost when training the body?"

Xia Nuo was slightly startled, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and he added it to the shopping cart without hesitation.

No need to think too much.

There is less than a year left before Aaron's attack. This item is equivalent to extending his time for cultivation to three years!

And it is permanent, which means that in his future life, when he is tempering his body, his training efficiency will always be three times that of before!
Yes, he does have a good talent in physical training, but who would think that his talent is too high?
"nice one!"

Shanuo is full of expectations for the role it can play.

Swipe down and browse the next item.

[Yingxin's camp uniform]

[Type: Equipment]

[Price: 200 points]

Description: Black, close-fitting, casual wear. No attribute bonuses. Perfect for relaxing. When you lie down to sleep in it, you might even hear the surging of darkness. That's Lady Shar whispering to you.

[Seller's Note: I really want to lick Bai Yingxin's feet]

“…” Xia Nuo had no expression on his face.

Just swipe and go to the next one!
If there really is such a thing as a Time Travel Administration, I really hope they can come up with a rule prohibiting obscene, fat otakus from traveling through time!

Sulawesi III steering engine

【Type: Spectacle】

[Price: 10000 points]

Description: Located in the equatorial region, this is one of the largest steering engines in the Wandering Earth Project, exceeding 15 kilometers in height and 60 kilometers in base diameter. With sufficient fuel, a single engine could generate 200 trillion tons of thrust.

[Seller's note: freshly dug out, still warm]

No, man.

Who are you?

Even if you dress up as Ultraman, you won't be able to dig this thing out, right?
The price was even more outrageous, basically the highest he had seen in three years, but wonders were the same no matter what world view they were in, and were not something that should be considered in the early and middle stages.

It's really tempting. If I had a million yuan balance, I would definitely buy it.

When I die one day and my points are not used up, I will have to summon this thing out and let everyone see it.

【Amamiya Ren's black canvas bag】

[Type: sundries]

[Price: 600 points]

Description: A backpack suitable for middle school students, filled with Shujin Academy's second-year high school textbooks. Occasionally, you can hear a cat meowing inside, but you can't be sure if the cat is dead or alive until you open the zipper.

[Seller's note: Found this next to the subway gate]

"Um……"

After a brief thought, Shanuo shook his head and gave up.

He searched through all his memories of his past life, but since he had little knowledge of the second dimension, he couldn't remember which world view this thing came from.

But according to past experience, items that are classified as miscellaneous are basically useless. Things like the hairpin he sacrificed and the wine he brought with him fall into this category.

Unless you are particularly interested in it, you will buy it for collection. Otherwise, spending 600 points here is a pure waste.

【Six-style Secret Book*2】

[Type: Cultivation Secrets]

[Price: 800 points]

[Description: A manual containing detailed training methods for the six physical techniques. The six techniques are Shaving, Paper Painting, Moon Steps, Storm Kicks, Iron Block, and Finger Spear. Each time the manual is opened, one of them will be randomly obtained.]

[Seller's Note: None, system direct sales]

"Six types?"

Shanuo cheered up.

Although the proportion of products sold directly by the system is small, they are often quite practical. They are not like those individual sellers who are always thinking about how to make a living.

This time, the results are no exception.

This is the physical skill that the CP department has been training since childhood. Within the navy, only those from the headquarters' elite battalion are qualified to practice it.

Those who can master these physical skills are capable of walking freely outside the Grand Line.

In the past two years, he had been coveting this set of physical skills and always hoped to get it in the trading market. Now his wish has finally come true.

"Can we still randomly choose two out of six?"

Xia Nuo decisively added it to the shopping cart.

These are two secret manuals, equivalent to one-on-one guidance from a famous teacher, guaranteed to teach you until you master it, and only 400 points each. No matter which two of the six styles are randomly opened, it is definitely worth the money!

【Sephiroth's authentic sword】

[Type: Weapon]

[Price: 500 points]

Description: From the world of Final Fantasy VII, the ultimate villain Sephiroth's blade, shaped like a katana, is called "Masamune." Over two meters long, the handle is approximately fifty centimeters long, the blade is only three centimeters wide, and only a few millimeters thick.

[Seller's note: "What you see now is reality, what you remember is an illusion"]

This makes people a little hesitant.

Xia Nuo pinched his chin and pondered. He didn't have much talent in swordsmanship and had no plans to practice swordsmanship in the short term.

But in the world of pirates, swords are inseparable and are the most important of all weapons. It seems natural to have a handy one.

The sword forged by Shinra Technology for the 1st Warrior is of absolutely reliable quality. In the world of pirates, it is at least not inferior to a good sword, and even reaches the level of a great sword.

"purchase!"

Xia Nuo made a decision, and suddenly there was one more item in the shopping cart.

If the price were higher, he might just give up.

Continuing to scroll down, Xia Nuo found that he either had no interest in several consecutive products or that the price-performance ratio was too low, and he eventually reached the end of the list.

Finally, I checked out and bought three items, spending 3300 points.

[Remaining points: 6725]

Props that can speed up his cultivation are one of the things he needs most right now. He is very lucky to have found it this time. Next month, he will get some cultivation secrets. It will be just in time for him to return to the village and start practicing vigorously.

Shanuo opened another can of Coke with satisfaction, closed the trading market, and then opened the backpack bar impatiently while drinking the happy water.
