New World.
The sea was densely clouded, and the rain drizzled like threads, as the Endgame sailed as usual.
"Three billion, two hundred million Belly?"
Shano lay on the deck chair, looking somewhat surprised at the newspaper Nami had just delivered.
The bounty has increased quite a lot.
Breaking through thirty billion Belly meant that, in the eyes of the World Government, he had finally officially crossed the threshold of the Four Emperors level.
Speaking of which...
During this trip to Cake Island, he hadn't planned to fight at all; he just intended to have some tea, chat a bit, and enjoy the scenery of Ten Thousand Nations.
Kaido showed up unexpectedly, purely by coincidence, and he hadn't thought it would attract this much attention in the end.
Just a spar, no life-and-death battle.
The World Government, seeing all this through Stussy's eyes, must be quite disappointed, right?
Speaking of Stussy.
Shano looked at the system panel as it generated a stream of information.
[You sacrificed Stussy's lipstick, gained 1200 points]
At the tea party, he casually cleaned out her handbag, discarding all the random items, except for this special lipstick he kept.
Made of Seastone, it seemed to be a cosmetic, but was actually a weapon.
In his impression, during the Egghead Island arc, Stussy used this to hold off a certain leopard guy worth killing, flipping against CP-0 to protect Vegapunk.
And as expected.
This small item was worth over a thousand points, far exceeding the average level of other Underground Emperors.
Of course, compared to BIGMOM herself, it was nothing——
[You sacrificed Charlotte Lingling's Homiz Zeus, gained 4000 points]
These two were worth 5200 points, and the other tea party guests' bits and pieces added up to 2100 points.
The original 64200 points suddenly surged by 7300, reaching 71500.
Being rich, of course, meant there was bound to be spending.
The Endgame had left Cake Island three days ago, officially entering February.
Hmm, if I remember correctly, the transaction market should have refreshed last night.
Shano pretended to keep reading the newspaper, but actually opened the market page.
He crossed his legs, casually took out a can of sugar-free cola from his inventory tab, and strolled leisurely while drinking.

[Ship Hull Strength Upgrade Scroll]
[Type: Consumable]
[Price: 5000 points]
[Description: A magical item from Assassin's Creed Odyssey World. Use it to provide a comprehensive strength upgrade to your ship, especially enhancing defense and durability significantly.]
[Seller's Remark: This world is so boring, clearing out bases every day, gonna puke]
Oh?
Shano's eyes lit up slightly.
The first item is something so fitting?
The Endgame has been their ride since setting sail from the East Sea, crafted with Treasure Tree Adam as the main material, and fully upgraded by Mayor Iceberg in Water Seven for free.
So, even in the dangerous sea of the New World, its performance remains sufficient.
However...
Just like a nerd wouldn't mind bumping up the graphics card numbers by 10, as a sea adventurer, who wouldn't want their ship better?
Must buy, grab it!
Next item!

[Upgraded Living Map]
[Type: Special Item]
[Price: 8000 points]
[Description: A magical tool from Hogwarts World, once unfolded it shows real-time locations and movements of all living creatures in a small area, and marks names.]
[Unique Feature of Upgraded Version—Costing 2000 points each time, input a living being's specific name to query their approximate location globally.]
[Seller's Remark: The three little ones finally enrolled today, so happy... Wait, why is Hermione black!]
As long as you know the name, you can find the approximate location?
Shano's heart moved.
If it was just the regular version of the Living Map, it definitely wouldn't be worth buying; finding someone in a small area would be less useful than his Observation ability.
But the upgraded version, being able to use points to search globally, is simply a hunting artifact.
Just in time, his upcoming return journey requires finding an old thing, originally only knowing they are in the East Sea, and precisely locating them would take some effort.
Now that's convenient.
Add to cart, next item!

[Bulma's Motorcycle Capsule]
[Type: Transportation Tool]
[Price: 700 points]
[Description: A technological product from Dragon Ball World, developed by the talented scientist Bulma, encapsulating a high-performance hoverbike that instantly releases at the press of a button. The bike is equipped with an anti-gravity engine and can reach a top speed of 300 km/h, adapting to various terrains like desert, mountains, and water.]
[Max endurance of 48 hours, automatically charges when retrieved back into the capsule]
[Seller's Remark: What's it mean why I have such objection against the Pirate World colleagues? I scrub ten items a month, eight are his, been like this for three months straight, boo boo, do you understand my feelings?]
What's that about?
Shano snorted.
All my sales are premium items; this guy managing to scrub so many, that's his blessing, what's there to complain about?
I also frequently scrub yours, it's very fair!
As for this bike...
"Riding on the sea seems unexpectedly very useful." Shano mulled, rubbing his chin.
