No wonder Amon was stunned by the pipe's description.
Right there in the system window, it clearly said:
[Ancient Relic Pipe]
What the hell, since when did the Ancient Relic series have a pipe as a weapon?
That was outrageous.
Forget it, better read the full attributes first.
After silently grumbling in his heart, Amon focused and carefully checked the equipment description.
[Ancient Relic Pipe]: A unique weapon from a certain game. Each attack absorbs 3 points of mana, up to a maximum of 100. Once its own mana reaches 100, it can release the power of the Seventh Apostle: Flame Devourer Antun.
During mana release, all skill damage increases by 20 percent. When the effect ends, it triggers a fiery explosion.
The power of the mana and the explosion scales with the strength of the user. The stronger the user, the stronger the final burst.
After use, the weapon requires 24 hours of cooldown before it can begin storing mana again.
–
It really was very similar to the Ancient Relic weapons from Dungeon Fighter Online, although some details like the cooldown had been adjusted. Even so, this was more than enough to make this weapon an absolute legend.
A moment ago, Amon had been complaining that the pipe trio's luck had all been sucked away by Ace.
Now it seemed Sabo was still doing just fine.
And this was perfect for him, anyway. The boy had always preferred using a pipe. This Ancient Relic Pipe fit him better than anyone else.
Back when Amon watched One Piece, there had even been jokes that Sabo's pipe was secretly an Ancient Relic weapon.
He never imagined that one day those jokes would become reality. He could not help wondering what One Piece fans from his old world would think if they saw this.
"Mr. Amon, how is it? Did I have really bad luck and only get useless stuff?"
Seeing Amon remain silent, Sabo's mood dipped. He carefully asked the question with a hint of anxiety.
"Hehe, no, no. Your luck is not worse than Ace's or Luffy's at all."
Amon truly liked Sabo's polite temperament.
Seeing the fleeting disappointment in the boy's eyes, Amon patted his shoulder and told him honestly that his luck was every bit as good as the other two.
"Really?"
Sabo's eyes lit up instantly.
"Of course."
Amon was not just trying to comfort him.
That last item, the Ancient Relic weapon, was in no way inferior to the treasures the other two had drawn.
Hearing that another good item had appeared, Garp stopped sulking on the deck and came over again, wanting to see what had come out this time.
Luffy and Ace also stared curiously at the three items in Amon's hands.
After watching the previous jar openings, they understood that appearances meant nothing. You could not judge the power of these things by how they looked.
So they stayed quiet and waited patiently for Amon's explanation.
"First up is this salted fish that looks like a sword. It is a special fish"
"Although it looks all dried and shriveled, the taste is incredible. If you eat it over rice, the flavor is absolutely perfect."
"Pfft!"
Makino had widened her eyes, expecting some precious treasure after Amon's mysterious build up.
When he finished by saying it was just food, she could not hold back her laughter.
"You talked it up so much and it is just something to eat!"
Even Garp could not help blowing out his beard in exasperation and complaining.
Luffy, however, reacted differently.
The instant he heard it was food with perfect flavor, he started drooling.
"So cool. It looks so tasty!"
"If you like it, you can have it, Luffy."
Sabo had been a bit disappointed when he realized it was only food, but the moment he saw Luffy practically drowning in his own saliva, he smiled gently and shoved the salted fish into Luffy's hands.
Among the three brothers, Sabo was always the gentlest and most doting toward Luffy.
"Brat, it is just a salted fish. You made it sound so impressive."
Garp had been tricked by Amon earlier and was finally seeing a chance to complain.
Naturally he would not waste the opportunity to vent a little.
Of course, if he could use this to beat down the price later, that would be ideal.
"Old man Garp, ever heard of saving the best for last? The real show has not even started yet."
Now that Amon had confirmed Garp would not attack him, he no longer bothered with formalities.
His address had quietly changed from "Mr. Garp" to "old man Garp."
"Hmph."
Stung by the jab, Garp snorted and turned his head away.
"The second item is this Pleasant Goat rocking chair. It is not just a normal rocker. It comes from the Green Grassland and plays sounds when you sit on it."
As he spoke, Amon took out the Pleasant Goat rocking chair.
"A rocking chair that can make sounds? Sugoi!"
The moment Luffy heard it could talk or sing, he got excited all over again.
"That is right. If you do not believe me, try sitting on it."
Amon set the rocking chair down on the floor. At once, the Pleasant Goat shaped chair expanded to full size.
Sabo and Luffy climbed onto it together.
When the mechanism clicked into place, the chair began to rock gently, and cheerful music rang out from inside.
"Hush-a-bye, little goat, time to sleep,
Count the stars and drift so deep…
Moonlight's soft on hillside stone,
You are safe and you're at home.
Close your eyes, your worries float,
Hush-a-bye, little goat.
Hush-a-bye, little goat, rest your head,
Dream of clover, green and spread.
Gentle bells in far-off air,
Night winds comb your silken hair.
Day is done, the sun has set,
Hush-a-bye, little goat.
Hush-a-bye, little goat, tucked in tight,
In the quiet of the night.
If you wake, just hear me say:
Morning comes to chase the grey.
Till it does, don't run or roam,
Hush-a-bye, little goat."
"Wow, this is so cool, it really sings so well. This is so fun!"
Luffy and Sabo rocked back and forth, absolutely thrilled, while Ace stood to the side with a look of pure disgust.
Ugh, how embarrassing.
"Ace, come join us!"
"I am not playing with something that childish."
Ace refused flatly.
However, no one could withstand the law of true fragrance.
Before long, Ace had quietly joined Luffy and Sabo on the chair, the three brothers rocking together, laughter spilling into the air.
In an instant, the entire ship felt strangely relaxed... and just a little philosophical and free.
