A long, long time ago, the Lunarian Tribe established a nation on the Red Line, attracting other races; people called this kingdom the Kingdom of Gods.
They also referred to the Lunarian Tribe as "Gods."
King of Disaster, the Lead Performer of the Beasts Pirates, is one of the only known survivors of this tribe.
"Gods?" Seven's expression was playful.
"This is because they're afraid I'll side with the World Government!"
The destruction of the Lunarian Tribe and the Kingdom of Gods was precisely the work of the World Government.
To completely uproot this tribe, the World Government even set a special bounty rule: just reporting the whereabouts of a Lunarian would allow one to collect a bounty of 100 million Berries.
If Seven were to purchase the Lunarian bloodline, setting aside which part of his body would catch fire, once the World Government found out, he would face a relentless pursuit until death.
But then again, when the fire is on, defense increases by 100%, and when the fire is out, speed increases by 100%; he could also generate and control flames.
It was equivalent to eating an extra Mera Mera no Mi.
This wasn't a simple case of one plus one.
The innate eternal flames of the Lunarian Tribe were already a terrifying power capable of burning heaven and earth, and now they were layered with the lightning power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
The power bursting from their collision had long since surpassed the scope of simple ability stacking; it was clearly an Overloaded reaction that could blast through a battlefield.
It was indeed worth having.
As for percentage attributes, the advantage might not be obvious in the early stages, but in the later stages, after stacking enough base attributes, percentage attributes would bring a significant boost.
No, Seven didn't have an "early stage" at all.
His current strength was infinitely close to the Admiral-Emperor level, already ranking among the late-stage tiers.
If he also learned Conquerors Haki Defense, stacked Iron Balloon, Armament Haki, and a 100% defense boost, his DEF would simply be too terrifying.
Twenty years later, meeting Liu Zoro, he could even shout: "Come, I'll just stand here and let you slash me."
After a 100% speed boost, although the Rumble-Rumble Fruit still couldn't compare to Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit, being twice as fast was a solid fact.
"50,000 points... there's a reason it's expensive."
Seven completely accepted the price, but being poor was currently his biggest problem.
Conquerors Haki Defense cost 100,000 points, Observation Haki Future Sight cost 50,000 points, and the Lunarian God Bloodline cost 50,000 points.
Not to mention these, he couldn't even afford the Armament Haki Ryuo, which cost 20,000 points.
"So poor, I'm really too poor."
After thinking for a moment, Seven painfully listed the Kuma Kuma no Mi, Model: Mythical Zoan - Thunder Bear on the trading platform.
How should he put it? While the overall strength of the pirate group was important for dominating the sea, the strength of Seven, the Captain, was even more crucial.
This was the foundation of becoming a leader.
During the battle at God Valley, why was Imu so awesome, taking on six opponents alone? Wasn't it because of their sheer strength!
Compared to improving personal strength, all other factors were irrelevant, or at least not as important.
[Kuma Kuma no Mi, Model: Mythical Zoan - Thunder Bear: 60,000 points. The storm gathers, carrying me to the clouds. Seller's message: Let the storm rage.]
The price of 60,000 points was set by Seven based on the 20,000 points offered for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on the trading platform, mainly targeting the wealthy guys.
Poor people couldn't afford it anyway.
He estimated that only Brother Warhammer or the Dragon Ball user who got a large barrel of Senzu Beans would have the purchasing power.
If the Kuma Kuma no Mi sold successfully, after deducting the 10% tax, the remaining 54,000 points would be enough to buy the Lunarian bloodline, with enough left for four Senzu Beans.
He would definitely ascend to the rank of Admiral-Emperor powerhouse in one fell swoop.
When that time comes—
Big Eater, Innate Divine Strength, Iron Balloon, and the Lunarian bloodline would create a heaven-defyingly overpowered Barzeb Seven.
Why not prioritize buying Observation Haki Future Sight? It was the same reason: there was a chance to cultivate Future Sight on his own, but the Lunarian bloodline could not be obtained that way.
As for the bloodline mix... a mix is a mix.
As a high-level pirate, Seven wasn't even afraid of being poor; would he be afraid of a mere bloodline mix?
If possible, Seven wouldn't mind mixing a few more. If he had the chance to refresh a Super Saiyan bloodline, he would get it even if he had to sell everything he owned.
Not to mention Super Saiyan, even if a Giant Race or Fishman bloodline refreshed, Seven would take them all if conditions permitted.
Aside from the high price.
The Lunarian bloodline sold in the system mall had only one remaining issue: a certain body part catching fire.
Seven looked at his body soaking in the hot spring and didn't think further: "Whatever happens, happens. At worst, it'll just be a fire stick."
At least it would be a personal characteristic.
It's not like it can't be extinguished; after it's out, speed increases by 100%, which is more useful than any black or white stockings.
Climbing out of the bath, Seven fell asleep with the buffs of +50% sleep quality and +50% recovery... West Blue, Ohara Ruins.
Seven days had passed since the Marines launched the Ohara Buster Call, and the Marine fleet executing the Buster Call had long since left under the leadership of five Vice Admirals.
Among the rubble and gravel, a strange man with an incredibly pointed head and a long tongue was holding a bouquet of flowers, paying respects to his friend, Dr. Clover.
"Long time no see, Vegapunk."
Hearing the familiar voice, Vegapunk hurriedly wiped away his tears and turned around, his gaze meeting Monkey D. Dragon, who was staring at his head.
"Dragon?"
"Your head has gotten even bigger."
"That's not important." Vegapunk squinted his eyes.
The reason his head was getting larger was that Vegapunk had eaten the Nomi Nomi no Mi, which gave him infinite brain capacity, but the more information he stored, the more his head would continue to grow.
"Dragon, what are you doing in Ohara?"
"Me?" Dragon said sarcastically, "I heard you've finally become a lapdog of the World Government. I was quite surprised, especially since you rejected the invitation from our Self-Brave Army."
Vegapunk argued, "What do you know!"
"Even with my wisdom and technology, what could a poor army like yours produce? Technology needs financial support!"
Dragon naturally understood that technology required financial support; he was just angry at the World Government for launching the Buster Call and destroying Ohara.
"You're as blunt as ever."
The two sat down in front of the memorial flowers.
"Dragon, the will of Ohara hasn't completely vanished. Beelzebul of the Morning Star Pirates saved a little girl from the Marine Buster Call's bombardment."
"There are many sensible people in the Marines too. Don't lose sight of your goal, Dragon."
Dragon's gaze was cold: "Beelzebul is different from ordinary pirates, but what happened this time is truly intolerable. I want to build an army that can fight."
Why were the Morning Star Pirates able to come and go as they pleased under the Marine Buster Call's fire?
Because whether it was Captain Beelzebul, Vice Captain Mihawk, or the combatant Fujitora, they were all extremely powerful warriors who could fight and achieve victory.
Such warriors were exactly what the Self-Brave Army lacked.
Vegapunk asked in surprise, "Don't you hate war the most?"
Dragon didn't answer the question: "Just you wait, Vegapunk. I will change the world and not let Clover's sacrifice be in vain..."
It was meant to be a heroic declaration, yet Dragon inexplicably felt a pang in his heart.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Why does it feel like I'm about to lose something?"
