Two days later, in the [Skill Training Space].
Luo Chen was studying Armament Haki with Garp's projection.
Suddenly, the system interface popped up before his eyes.
[Cultivation Point Balance: 377300 → 577300]
'Huh? Another two billion Berries came in? Where from?'
Luo Chen was a little puzzled.
But at this moment, he was in the middle of training his Armament Haki, so he didn't pay it much mind.
It was a good thing, anyway.
But then, the system interface kept popping up, to Luo Chen's pleasant surprise.
[Cultivation Point Balance: 577300 → 777300]
[Cultivation Point Balance: 777300 → 977300]
[Cultivation Point Balance: 977300 → 1177300]
Luo Chen's eyes widened slightly.
In a short period of time, four consecutive deposits of two billion Berries' worth of cultivation points had come in.
A total of eighty billion Berries, eight hundred thousand cultivation points.
After that, the system no longer responded.
'Where did this money come from? The sky island? The timing is right, but why is it only eighty billion Berries, and in installments?'
'Or did the Wood Clone in Loguetown sell more intelligence?'
Luo Chen couldn't be sure, so he stopped thinking about it and continued to train.
He should know where the eighty billion Berries had come from soon enough.
Another day passed. Counting the previous two days, a total of thirty days had passed in the [Skill Training Space].
Luo Chen successfully mastered advanced Armament Haki.
A boulder over ten meters high appeared in front of him.
Luo Chen, from three meters away, threw a punch with his arm coated in black Armament Haki.
Three meters away, the boulder instantly shattered into dust.
'After mastering the 'emission' of Armament Haki, I won't have to worry about touching the bodies of some special fruit users anymore.'
Luo Chen looked at his fist thoughtfully.
For example, Admiral Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit, or Impel Down's Warden Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit.
The bodies of these two were one of high temperature, and the other of potent poison.
If he were to attack them up close, it was very likely he would be burned or poisoned.
Attacking from a distance would greatly reduce the risk.
And after learning the flowing property of Armament Haki, Luo Chen could also concentrate his armament in one spot for a more targeted attack or defense, making it much more powerful than when it was dispersed.
Luo Chen was just about to continue learning the "internal destruction" of top-tier Armament Haki when a Wood Clone walked into the wooden house and tried to wake him.
Luo Chen had no choice but to withdraw his consciousness from the training space and return to reality.
"Hm? Back from the sky island?"
In the wooden house, the one who had woken him was the Wood Clone that had gone to the sky island.
The Wood Clone shook its head. "I am a clone created by a clone."
The corner of Luo Chen's mouth twitched. He asked, "What is it?"
The clone of a clone said, "The situation on the sky island is a bit special. Enel was physically persuaded by me and has temporarily agreed to be a subordinate."
"The main issue is the gold. The system can't directly deposit the gold from the sky island. It's difficult to judge its value after it flows into the market."
"So, we can only sell it on the market bit by bit and deposit the Berries we get from selling it."
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow. So this was the source of those four eighty-billion-Berry deposits?
As if understanding his thoughts, the clone of a clone nodded.
"Four Wood Clones of average strength and Enel's four priests have taken the gold and gone to the islands of the Blue Sea to sell it. It's already been credited to the account, about eighty billion Berries."
"There aren't many organizations with the funds to buy this much gold. It's fine to sell a little now, but if we sell too much, these organizations will surely communicate with each other, and the price of gold will probably plummet."
Luo Chen sighed. "There's no other way. Just sell it as quickly as possible. We urgently need cultivation points to increase our strength. Once I'm strong enough, I can even go and rob the Holy Land, Mary Geoise."
"Okay. I just came back to report the situation and give you a general idea."
The clone of a clone said, "From now on, the cultivation points will continue to increase, but it will take a relatively long time. It's hard to say how much it will be in the end. I estimate it will be around ten million cultivation points."
Ten million cultivation points was equivalent to one hundred billion Berries.
Luo Chen shook his head. "We'll see if those big organizations have the strength to fork out one hundred billion Berries. But I think they'll get desperate and just try to rob us."
The clone of a clone smiled upon hearing this. "I hope they do."
Luo Chen also revealed a smile. "Indeed. Let them try. We'll find a way to leave a Flying Thunder God mark on the key figures, and then I'll pay them a visit one by one."
Behind these large organizations were either the underground giants of the New World, the World Government, or the Four Emperors.
Except for the World Government, whichever one dared to rob him, Luo Chen would rob them back and see how much wealth they had in their vaults.
Before the clone of a clone dissipated, it reminded him, "Although Luffy and the others didn't go to the sky island, they have already been in Water 7 for a considerable amount of time."
"Ace is most likely following the plot and searching for Blackbeard Teach. It's possible he's already been captured."
Hearing this, Luo Chen continued, "You mean the Summit War is about to begin?"
"If there are powerhouses lying in ambush in Water 7, they probably can't wait any longer. It's possible they've been recalled to Marine Headquarters to prepare for the Summit War."
The clone of a clone nodded. "That's right. With Nami under their surveillance now, the Marines and the World Government will definitely try to capture her before they leave, whether you show up or not."
Luo Chen mused, "That makes sense. The Straw Hat crew's original itinerary after Water 7 was to accidentally enter Moria's Thriller Bark, and then the next stop would be the Sabaody Archipelago, at which point the Summit War would begin."
"They've been in Water 7 for a long time, but the Summit War won't be postponed just because the Straw Hat crew's journey has been put on hold..."
The Summit War was a large-scale war initiated by the Marines to eliminate one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard.
The fuse was Ace being captured by "Blackbeard" Teach and handed over to the Marines.
To rescue Ace, Whitebeard led his pirate crew in a head-on confrontation with the Marines, and was ultimately defeated and killed.
The clone of a clone suggested, "I think we should send Nami and the others away first."
He looked at Luo Chen. "The three hundred billion cumulative deposit mark has been reached. With the ninjutsu you were rewarded with, you can totally enter Water 7 with your main body and draw attention away so that Nami and the others can leave."
Luo Chen's eyes flickered.
Indeed, counting the four eighty-billion-Berry deposits, the three hundred billion cumulative deposit mark had been reached.
[Cumulative deposit has reached three hundred billion Berries. Reward ninjutsu—Kamui!]
Kamui, Obito Uchiha's space-time type ocular jutsu.
It was an extremely broken ability in Naruto.
The left eye was mainly for offense, capable of distorting space from a long distance and using spatial power to kill enemies.
The right eye was mainly for defense, able to transfer a part of the body to the Kamui dimension, thus achieving an "intangible" effect and nullifying enemy attacks.
It could also transfer the entire body into the Kamui dimension to achieve the effect of dodging attacks or spatial teleportation.
The effect of full-body spatial teleportation was similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
It was just that Kamui's spatial teleportation did not require leaving a mark beforehand.
Of course, the speed of its spatial teleportation was not as fast as the Flying Thunder God, and there was a certain preparation time.
Luo Chen's gaze turned toward Water 7.
'With Kamui by my side, even if all three Admirals were here, they wouldn't be able to hold me.'
