I am brushing up materials in One Piece

After understanding the current situation at Whiskey Peak, Cos finally understood that he probably wouldn't be tricked too much, but basically the only option was to obediently send money to the Chamber of Commerce.

Therefore, businessmen really hate it. They can always "reasonably" put other people's money into their own pockets.

But do we really want to settle a score with him? I couldn't find any suitable reason.

However, according to the plot, Whiskey Peak may soon change hands, and in two years it will be the territory of Baroque Studio.

Crocodile is not a half-ordered character like Kos, and he is a Shichibukai with "legal" right to plunder. The best outcome for this businessman is that Crocodile will have his family fortune wiped out. .

This may be the end of the bad, but Cos doesn't care much about what happens next. He plans to take advantage of the time he is repairing at Whiskey Mountain to get more materials and try to use the weapon-colored domineering skills. .

And thinking about the title of this book, and thinking about how long it has been since I seriously concentrated on reading the material, Kos felt that it was necessary to touch on the topic after being off topic for so long, even if it was a little forced, it would be good. .

So Cos was going to go on a killing spree at Whiskey Peak, which was impossible.

After all, strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes. If the attitude is too tough, the originally loose bounty hunters will unite. Maybe they can use the invincible Ace (laughs) to find a solution, but there will still be many unforeseen surprises.

But as long as you are willing to find a way, you can still have a good fight without angering the entire Whiskey Mountain.

And it's very simple, that is, money can make all the difference.

Kos decided to set up an arena, and then use high bounties to attract bounty hunters or pirates to fight him, and declared that he would fight until the end.

In this case, even some bounty hunters who think they are not as powerful as him will try their luck. After all, what if they win?

From the perspective of bounty hunters, this is almost a costless transaction.

But in Kosi's view, it's also a costless deal, because Kosi can tell a person's strength level, and he won't know the pain after being punched by the farm lady like in "Kung Fu".

What's more, judging from what Kos has seen so far, there are only a few people with a higher level than him on the Whiskey Mountain Peak, and there are even fewer people with higher levels than him and a higher number of skills and levels than him.

Even though Kos' Chain Fruit is only LV2, the improvement brought by the Devil Fruit is very different from ordinary skills.

If LV2's swordsmanship skills are equivalent to raising Kos's personal level by 5 levels, then LV2's chain fruit will definitely increase his level by more than 10 levels.

In fact, it is not accurate to compare based on the improvement of abilities alone, because the acquisition of Devil Fruit abilities brings more diversification of fighting methods than the improvement of combat abilities.

Now the chains generated by Kos can't restrain a natural ability user like Ace; it doesn't have much destructive power, it's just that it has a longer range, and the thrust of the tip wedge is far inferior to what he can do with a knife. ; The maximum number of generated items is only five, and if you want precise control, you still need to have one hand free.

But in battle, Kos can be equivalent to having a few more powerful and flexible arms, which can often play unexpected roles.

For example, you can use the chain to pull the enemy's feet when you are sword-fighting; use the chain to use the force to turn while in the air; when your body is about to be attacked, you can immediately generate chains at the hit position to form a defense.

This is the reason why Devil Fruit can sell for at least 100 million Baileys - as long as you eat it, you can greatly improve your strength even without long-term exercise.

"The next step is where the arena is set up."

Kos muttered to himself and walked towards the port. In his opinion, it was undoubtedly the best place. There were many people coming and going, and he could also use the reputation of the chamber of commerce that managed the port as a backing.

As he passed a small gypsy-style tent car, he was suddenly stopped.

"That handsome guy over there, are you having any troubles lately?"

A somewhat seductive voice came from the car.

Kos took a look at the appearance of the tent truck. Although there were many patches on it, it was generally clean and tidy.

"Come, come here, and I will reveal the truth of your destiny to you."

The voice spoke with a magic stick and called Kos over.

After thinking for a while, and seeing through the opening at the rear of the carriage that there was only one LV16 level information in the carriage, Cos boarded the carriage.

After entering the carriage, Kos adapted to the dimness inside for a while, and then he could barely see the environment inside.

There are some strange things such as skeletons, colorful stones, and blood-stained ribbons scattered around in the carriage. In the middle of the carriage is a small table with crystal balls, incense, tortoise shells, Stacks of cards.

Sitting behind the table is a woman wearing a dark red veil. The woman covers half of her face with a translucent veil, but you can tell from the unhidden wrinkles at the corners of her eyes that she is not young.

But the woman's voice is particularly beautiful.

"Please come and sit down at the table."

Kos did as he was told, sat opposite the woman, and then his eyes fell on the crystal ball on the table.

"Do you want to know your fate?"

The woman asked in a gentle tone.

"can you see it?"

Kos asked with a smile.

"I can't see it."

The woman shook her head, then pushed a stack of cards in front of Kos.

"But I can help you find your destiny."

"This is?"

Because the cards were face up, Kos didn't know whether the card pushed in front of him was a playing card or Three Kingdoms.

"These are tarot cards that reveal your destiny."

The woman said as she took the cards into her hand, separated a small pile from it, shuffled it a few times, and spread it out in front of Kos.

"Please take out the thirteenth one from left to right and open it sideways."

Kos did as he was told, and after opening it, there was a picture of a man sitting cross-legged on a mountain peak. In front of him were cups, coins, a long sword, and a long staff, and four crystal stones of various colors floating above his head.

But from Cos's point of view the card is upside down.

"The magician in reverse position means that you think you are fully prepared, but in fact it is not enough to solve all the problems on the road ahead, and the more you try to figure out the tricks, the more you will find that your abilities are sufficient. To the extreme, you can only accept your failure helplessly. Unless..."

Just when the woman was about to change the subject, Kos suddenly asked: "How much?"

"What?...A thousand beli."

Although the woman didn't react at first, she quickly revealed her divination fee.

“It’s so cheap!”

As he spoke, Kos took out a thousand-beli bill from his pocket and handed it over.

"Of course, I'm just helping you reveal your destiny, so I won't charge too much."

Although the woman said this, what she actually thought in her heart was, "Changing your destiny is not worth it."

But just when she put away the thousand beli and prepared to continue fooling Cos, she found that Cos had turned around and left, and her deck of tarot cards was also missing.
