By the sea, Yang Tao was directing the Villagers to continuously draw seawater and pour it into the Tinkers' Construct furnace, with large amounts of steam rising from the Seared Furnace.
Besides being able to make Devil Fruit users in the One Piece world lose their powers, Sea stone contains a compound called rock salt crystal, which can be separated to make island clouds and sea clouds.
Sea clouds are like seawater-like clouds in the sky, and island clouds are the kind people normally walk on.
Twenty minutes later, looking at the Sea stone ingot in his hand, Yang Tao felt a bit annoyed…
On average, 500 barrels of seawater could only refine one Sea stone ingot; the only good news was that there was no shortage of seawater.
"A water pump, if only I had a water pump…"
Any water pump from any mod would do; that way, he could have an endless supply of Sea stone.
Then he would learn how to refine rock salt crystals and make some sea clouds and island clouds.
"First, make 64 Sea stone ingots… the rest can wait until I have a water pump."
Although the Villagers had no complaints about this work, Yang Tao felt a bit reluctant to use them for it.
Even growing grapes would be better than fetching seawater here.
The next morning.
Just as Yang Tao dismissed the Villagers to go back to farming, a sharp cry came from the sky, and a figure arced through the air, falling heavily into the forest on the island.
"What was that?"
Closing the wooden door, Yang Tao rode his broom into the forest, where a humanoid creature lay in a deep pit.
[Exploration value increased by 0.51%]
"Holy crap, what kind of ultimate fat pig is this?"
The creature lying in the deep pit was incredibly obese and had a face full of freckles; looking at her for too long made one want to vomit.
[Health 30 / 320]
Being ugly isn't a mistake, but being this ugly is practically a crime!
Especially after the character visualization, he could see the large pores on her face from a distance.
He cast aside the thought of pressing F to enter a tank.
He had already recognized this person's identity.
Alvida, after all, someone this ugly is indeed rare; she was the first enemy Luffy encountered after setting sail.
Also, a pink fruit, shaped like a brain, lay quietly not far from her.
"Supa Supa no Mi (Slip-Slip Fruit)?"
Walking forward, Yang Tao bent down and picked up the Slip-Slip Fruit.
The Slip-Slip Fruit is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
After eating it, one becomes a smooth person, with a slick skin surface that causes anything touching it to slide off, like skating on a skateboard barefoot, used for quick movement, and also has a beauty effect, turning an ultimate ugly woman into an ultimate beauty.
However, the note at the bottom of the Slip-Slip Fruit made Yang Tao a bit uncomfortable.
[A treasure of the One Piece world, only for use by original inhabitants of One Piece.]
(There are no restrictions if mods are added later.)
"Uh…"
With a groan, the unconscious Alvida slowly woke up, sat up, and immediately saw Yang Tao standing not far away.
She asked guardedly, "Who are you?"
Ding~
Yang Tao instinctively reached out, and a golden, Scabbers-like business card appeared in his hand.
He lightly tossed it towards Alvida.
"Yang Tao?"
Alvida caught Yang Tao's business card; compared to her massive hand, the card looked pitifully small.
She propped herself up and stood, then found the giant spiked club that had fallen nearby and reached out to pick it up from the ground.
But the low-health Alvida no longer had the strength to lift the club, and with the overexertion, she sat back down on the ground.
The ground trembled slightly, making Yang Tao's eyelids twitch.
"Alvida, are you interested in sailing out to sea with me?"
Alvida's gaze instantly sharpened as she questioned Yang Tao, "You know me?"
My dear lady, with your weight, how many transmigrators to One Piece wouldn't recognize you?
"Yes, I've heard a little. I need someone familiar with the East Blue to take me to some places. Are you interested?"
"Heh heh…"
Alvida looked at Yang Tao and sneered, "Pirates need strength…"
"I think your strength is pretty good; I agree."
Hearing Alvida's answer, Yang Tao nodded with satisfaction and put away the Yamato he had held to her neck.
"Very good. There's an old saying: 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' Alvida, you're truly excellent."
Alvida reached out her massive paw and wiped the cold sweat that had appeared on her forehead due to the substantial killing intent, saying, "I can sail with you, but you must make Luffy my man."
"Otherwise, I would rather die than leave!"
Yang Tao: "..."
Are you out of your mind? Shouldn't you be trying to defeat Luffy? What do you mean by wanting Luffy to be your man?
Does even a 'tank' like powerful men?
Yang Tao made up his mind: he would absolutely never display his strength in front of an ugly woman again.
He weighed the Slip-Slip Fruit in his hand and threw it to Alvida, saying, "The Paramecia-type Slip-Slip Fruit. It can make you beautiful…"
Upon hearing the word "beautiful..." Alvida instantly became alert, holding the Slip-Slip Fruit and saying, "You think I'm ugly??"
"Let me put it this way: after seeing your appearance, I don't even have the desire to understand your inner beauty. If you weren't able to eat devil fruits, I'd suspect you had already eaten the Pig-Pig Fruit!"
Alvida instantly erupted in rage, forgetting her near-death experience just moments ago: "You! You're lying! I am the most beautiful woman in this world."
Yang Tao didn't waste words and directly transformed into the Wretch he had seen before.
It was covered in holes with black liquid oozing out, no skin anywhere, rotten muscles exposed to the air, and an inexplicable psychic energy swirling around its body.
This kind of cosmic horror-like creature was simply mental pollution. Yang Tao reached out and put the eyeball that had fallen out of his eye socket back in.
Looking at Alvida, he said, "Alvida, if you say I look handsome right now, then I'll admit you're beautiful."
Σ_(꒪ཀ꒪」∠) Oh~
Alvida couldn't help but take two steps back, and a strange sense of despair grew in her heart.
With a thud, Alvida knelt on the ground, pleading, "I'm sorry!"
"Please don't pick at the holes on your body anymore. You're right, I am a big fat pig!"
Saying this, Alvida, affected by the Wretch, actually started crying.
"I'm a woman too, I also want to be liked. It's not my fault I look like this…"
A mutated fat pig cried in front of Yang Tao, her snot and tears mixing together.
He only felt his stomach churning non-stop; for a moment, both of them were equally miserable.
He reverted from his transformation.
"Stop your damn crying, and quickly eat that Slip-Slip Fruit for me."
Yang Tao, who usually had a good temper, couldn't help but curse directly.
Alvida cried as she stuffed the fruit into her mouth.
"Ugh~ It's so disgusting."
"I can't control it, I feel so sad, I just want to cry my heart out!"
Can the Wretch's ability only make people sad in the One Piece world?
Normally, after being affected, ordinary people would fall into a Wretch cycle, their emotions becoming low, and losing interest in everything, but they would definitely not be as uncontrollably sad as Alvida.
At this moment, the Slip-Slip Fruit began to take effect. Alvida's body visibly thinned, and her rough skin became smooth and tender.
The power of the Devil Fruit is truly miraculous.
