The biggest gain from character cards is actually what's coming next with Luffy. For someone like Aatrox at the ten million level, wiping him out in this era would be a huge waste.
So Genichi's view on him is to let him stay quiet for a while first.
If people are under constant high pressure, they might become numb.
Giving them despair is a way to harvest a lot of negative emotion points.
Then giving them hope afterward can also bring in a ton of positive emotion points.
Genichi is now very interested in positive emotion points, mainly because he got the 'high-end shopping' item from them before, which directly boosts his abilities. It made him realize how powerful the positive emotion point draws are.
So it's okay to let people take a break for a bit.
Let Aatrox step back for now, and bring him out when it's really his time.
That's what Genichi thinks, especially since he's planning to draw a few more positive emotion point cards.
"Positive emotion points:"
"Negative emotion points:"
These are his current emotion point totals. He really didn't expect that positive emotion points would one day rise alongside negative ones by over two million each.
How much are people gloating over the outcome of the Aite World Sea Battle...
Their quality isn't high, but they make up for it with sheer numbers. How many people are at the bottom? Genichi doesn't even dare to guess.
If they were just a bit stronger, they might have given Genichi double the positive emotion points.
You can only say that people's joys and sorrows don't align.
Today, Aatrox kills a bunch of pirates and they cheer. Tomorrow, Aatrox destroys the World Government and some will still cheer. When Aatrox gets wiped out, some will cheer then too.
Now he's ready to draw two more positive emotion point item cards, just like he thought before. Positive emotion points are too hard to reach ten million, so it's better to use them up once they hit a million.
This time it caught him off guard; he didn't expect positive emotion points to surge to over two million all at once.
Two million-level item draws: he'll use one on the Doraemon gadget bag items, then do one random draw.
The first one is the Doraemon gadget bag item.
"Portable Pyramid: From the Doraemon world. It holds the power of a pyramid and can awaken hidden potential in the body, greatly boosting a person's abilities."
What appeared in Genichi's hand was a transparent pyramid. Only the outer structures glowed green. This is the portable pyramid. Carrying it on you can unlock the power inside your body.
It looks plain, but since it was drawn from a million-level pull upgraded by high-end shopping, it must hold incredible power.
Even if it's Infinity level, the abilities it unlocks will be beyond belief.
This thing is good.
Then comes the next draw. This one is random, so he's not holding a Doraemon world item.
"Mara's Remnants: From the Record of Ragnarok world. These are the leftovers from the Sixth Demon King Mara, a monster that once destroyed half the underworld, after his own power tore him apart. With special methods, they can become Mara seeds. Anyone parasitized by a Mara seed will eventually turn into Mara."
"You can absorb Mara's remnants directly for power, but you won't become the real Mara. They contain massive negative thoughts and a dark soul without any light, unlike Mara's."
What appeared in Genichi's hand this time was a lump of shredded meat, packed with immense power.
In the Record of Ragnarok world, this remnant from the underworld monster was picked up by Beelzebub after his death. Beelzebub grew it into a Mara seed using special ways. Genichi doesn't have that skill, but the description says direct absorption works, which is interesting.
According to the description, absorbing Mara's remnants directly won't let Mara take over, but you'll be influenced by Mara's dark soul?
It sounds like going dark...
Genichi suddenly had an idea. He called out Himura Kenshin and placed the Mara remnants in Kenshin's hand.
The Sixth Demon King Mara—there's a perfect spot for him to shine, and it suits Kenshin too.
That's Wano Country!
Even though the time isn't quite right yet, he can start setting things up ahead of schedule.
To be honest, he still has a grudge against Wano Country. This is a good chance to mess with the beloved Kozuki Oden.
As for the portable pyramid, he put it on Kuchiki Byakuya.
Since Aatrox is stepping back for now, it's time for this hell gatekeeper to step up.
........
While he drew these two cards, it was time for his clones to move again.
Rayleigh, who left Pandora Island and The Black Order headquarters, is back on the high seas. He's searching for news on the Roger Pirates.
He hopped on a random ship and is heading deep into the New World.
Right now, he's reading the newspaper to catch up on recent events, standing on the passenger ship's deck, gazing at the distant sea.
"Hey, looks like you've signed a deal with the Fleet Admiral."
At that moment, a voice came from behind him, sending a chill down his spine.
Even while reading the paper and lost in thought, someone got right behind him without him noticing?!
And what the person said made Rayleigh frown. How did he know about the contract with Makima?
But when he turned around, he realized it made sense.
The man was burly, wearing a blue mask. Rayleigh had vaguely heard of someone like this.
The Black Order's Admiral, Thunder God!
Rayleigh kept his cool. The contract with Makima said no one knows their exact relationship, so Thunder God couldn't know the details.
He probably just knows Rayleigh signed a contract with Makima to get out, but not what it entails.
"What do you want?" Rayleigh said calmly. "Or is your Fleet Admiral backing out?"
"Of course not." Thunder God's tone held a hint of amusement, but the mask hid his true expression.
"You're off Pandora Island now, so that means we can take on Aatrox."
"Meet up with the Roger Pirates first. Then we'll head there together..."
"The entrance to hell!"
