Chapter 155: Beast Strategist
Chapter 155: Beast Strategist
Lu Li received a notification that the hidden mission was completed last night. He was originally wondering why the reward had not arrived, and wondered if it would be settled and paid out after his return.
So the reward is in this form. I completed the task and gained Kaido's trust, and the other party rewarded me with a devil fruit. This devil fruit did not appear in the original work. God knows how Kaido got it.
The Beasts Pirates are basically all users of animal-type fruit abilities, which is considered the symbol of their pirate group. Kaido did not fool himself by giving himself an artificial devil fruit, but a real animal-type fruit.
Moreover, this is not an ordinary animal-type fruit, but an ancient animal-type fruit.
[Animal Series. Ancient Species. Dragon Dragon Fruit. Tyrannosaurus Rex Form]
Origin: One Piece
Quality: Epic
Item Type: Bloodline
Usage requirements: none
How to use: Eat any part of it to take effect.
Details: A devil fruit that carries the power of an ancient overlord. After consumption, it can improve the attributes of Constitution +5, Strength +5, Agility +4, and can transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex. With the development of the power of the fruit, the attribute improvement gains brought by bloodline will gradually increase, and more bloodline skills can be obtained.
Rating: 680 points (400-700)
Evaluation: A devil fruit with high potential, suitable for frontal offensive operations.
Honestly speaking, this devil fruit is too good. Even if it is placed in the "zoo" Beasts Pirates, it is definitely a heavyweight fruit.
It can be seen that Kaido really values himself now. If he did not admire himself very much, he would never give such a good fruit to a young man like him. You know, the fruits of many cadres are not as good as his.
I'm afraid Kaido is now training himself to be Yamato's right-hand man, just like King beside Kaido.
The fruit is good, but Lu Li is a little hesitant about whether he should eat it.
It is said that the ability of this fruit is more suitable for his fighting style, but he always feels that turning into a Tyrannosaurus Rex is a bit ugly...
Lu Li once learned from his roommate Sosuke that fashion value is also very important. Being too ugly may affect combat effectiveness...
Fortunately, Kaido did not ask him to eat it on the spot. He just gave him the devil fruit and led the team away, leaving the choice to him.
"It's a devil fruit, but there's no illustrated guide, so I don't know what kind of fruit it is. I suggest that Brother Lu don't eat it yet."
After observing the surroundings, Yamato leaned close to Lu Li's ear and whispered, "Who knows what kind of rubbish fruit my father will give you. A person can only eat a devil fruit once in his life, so be careful, Brother Lu."
Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, thinking that even though Yamato had self-awareness, she still seemed to have some prejudice against her father.
"I feel like the fruit should be fine, but I haven't decided whether to become a power user. After all, I won't be able to swim after becoming one, and I want to go out to sea again in the future."
Lu Li explained, "It's too dangerous for a person to go out to sea if he can't swim."
Upon hearing this, Yamato grabbed Lu Li's shoulders and said seriously: "Brother Lu, if you want to go out to sea, shouldn't you take me with you?"
"Well, it was my oversight. If we can make it to the sea, I will take you with me."
Lu Li said helplessly. He thought to himself that he didn't know how long it would take to deal with the affairs of Wano Country alone.
Since he has done it, he can't just run away with Yamato after doing it half-heartedly. At least he has to solve the problems of food and environmental protection for the people here.
"It's a deal, don't regret it!"
Yamato said seriously that although she no longer considered herself to be Kozuki Oden, she still had a desire to go out to sea for adventure.
But she also didn't think that now was a good time. After all, she couldn't follow the example of her former idol and abandon her country to go out and have fun. Now that she had just become the general of Wano Country, she had to do something for the people to feel at ease.
"I can only promise to take you out on an adventure after we've dealt with things in Wano Country, but I can't promise to always be with you."
Lu Li had given Yamato a heads-up in advance. He was not from this world. Judging from the length of their stay, after he had dealt with the affairs of Wano Country, he would not be able to risk going out with Yamato for long.
Speaking of the length of stay, he discovered something interesting after completing this hidden mission.
That is, he received another hidden mission, which is related to the previous hidden mission.
[Hidden Mission: Beast Strategist]
Mission content: You have now gained Kaido's trust and have a cadre-like status in the Beasts Pirates. In the future, Kaido will listen to your opinions more, but the prerequisite is that you can achieve outstanding results in the process of governing Wano Country.
Please do your best to make Wano Country a better place within two months, and increase the production capacity of Kaido's factory while ensuring the happiness of the people.
Mission Difficulty: Difficult ~ Nightmare
Mission Reward 1: You will become the military advisor of the Beasts Pirates, with the same status as the chief boss.
Mission Reward 2: Heritage Crystal. Medium*2, the time you stay in the world is extended by one natural month.
Failure penalty: None
This hidden mission can extend his stay in the world, which means that he will not waste time playing the country management game in Wano Country. In addition to the generous inheritance crystal rewards, he can also obtain a good status, which further enhances his motivation to work hard.
The difficulty of this task was marked as very high. Lu Li speculated that it was because the End Space judged that it was not good at doing this kind of thing. If someone like Aizen were to do this task, the difficulty of the task would probably be marked as easy. The difficulty marking of the space made Lu Li feel underestimated and a little unhappy. He thought to himself, although I am not a very smart person, I am at least a normal person who is familiar with history. How can I not handle a small country like Wano?
Moreover, in his previous life, in order to understand his enemies, he had also played several grand strategy simulation games developed by the company, so he was not really completely ignorant of state governance.
Well, I think you know a little bit about it.
The more he understood this world, the more Lu Li felt that his limited skills were enough to deal with the people of Wano Country.
After all, the people here are relatively simple and not very smart.
"Brother Lu, are you going to leave me?"
Yamato looked at Lu Li with some worry. What he had just said made her feel uneasy and a little reluctant.
"I didn't say that, but things are unpredictable. Anything could happen when you go out to sea. I just want to say that if I encounter an accident or disappear, you should not be too sad. Protect your own safety first and return to the Beasts Pirates as soon as possible."
Lu Li gave Yamato a heads-up first, because he knew that he would definitely disappear. If a fool like Yamato didn't tell her in advance, she might very well find him dead in the sea where he disappeared.
"How can that be!? I won't abandon my friends!"
Yamato said excitedly, "Brother Lu, do you think I'm the kind of person who would abandon you at the critical moment!?"
Lu Li was touched and helpless. He could only stand on tiptoe and pat Yamato on the shoulder. "Of course you are not that kind of person, but I don't want you to be in danger, understand? And I just said a possibility. It's not certain that I will get into trouble."
Yamato's expression calmed down a bit after hearing this, but he still puffed up his cheeks and said angrily: "Don't say such things again, or I will ignore you."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
Lu Li raised his hands in surrender helplessly. Some things can only be taken one step at a time.
…………
The next day, the long streets of Huadu were crowded with people, and people were curiously leaning their heads out to watch the carts loaded with grain passing by.
But even the most daring scoundrels did not dare to approach the grain cart and try to touch it, because the escort in front of the grain cart was a notorious pirate.
He was a handsome man with a serious and steady face, white hair, brown skin, black wings, and a wreath-shaped tattoo around his left eye.
He is of well-proportioned build, tall and strong, his entire body including his face is covered in black clothes, he wears a mask and a helmet with goggles, a black double-breasted suit with two skull patterns on the collar.
He wore black gloves, leaving not an inch of skin exposed, a long knife hung from his waist, and there was a circle of flames at the back of his head.
Everyone who saw him made way for him, because he was the leader of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido's right-hand man, a close friend, and the 'Flame Disaster' with a bounty of 13 billion Beli - Jin!
After Lu Li and Yamato received the news, they went out of the general's mansion and came to the street to greet them.
Yamato is ignorant, but he cannot be ignorant. King is the real second-in-command of the Beasts Pirates, a brother who has risked his life with Kaido. He is a man of both strength and power. They can't just let King drive the car to the Shogun's Mansion before coming out to see him.
"Mr. Jin, thank you for bringing us food. It helps us out of our urgent need. Thank you very much."
Lu Li looked up at Jin. It was also the first time he saw Yan Zai. His height of over six meters was very intimidating. Lu Li standing in front of him was like a baby facing an adult.
Through the original work, he knew that Jhin was a member of the Lunalia tribe, a supernatural race that was only mentioned in the later period of the original work and was almost extinct. Jhin might be the last member of the Lunalia tribe in nature.
The Lunalia tribe can generate flames on their bodies, and the flames are quite aggressive. When the flames disappear, their speed will be greatly improved, but their defense will also decrease.
This race can survive in all kinds of harsh environmental conditions in nature and is a natural fighting race. Vegapunk later used King's cells to develop Seraphim. Each Seraphim has the combat power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea level, which is outrageous.
"I have completed Mr. Kaido's orders. Do what you are supposed to do."
Jin didn't bother to be polite with Lu Li. He looked down at Lu Li and said, "Don't disappoint him."
Obviously, Jin didn't trust Lu Li very much. He felt that the guy who claimed to be a demon slayer appeared in Wano Country too abruptly, and he entered Kaido's sight in a short time and climbed very fast.
He hoped that he was just too suspicious. It would be fine if Lu Li could do his job well, govern Wano Country well, and bring more benefits to the Beasts Pirates.
If Lu Li had any plans that were detrimental to the Beasts Pirates, he would personally take action and kill Lu Li.
"Please give us some time. We will let the Governor and Mr. Jin see the results."
Lu Li said calmly. He knew that it was useless to say anything to someone like Jin. He had to let him see the results.
Upon hearing this, Jin nodded, and had no intention of continuing to chat with Yamato. He turned around and left. His mission was to deliver the food to Lu Li and Yamato, not to escort it to a fixed location.
Seeing Jin leave, Lu Li snapped his fingers, and several figures appeared beside him. "Ask the security team to help escort the shipment. 60% will be sent to the granary, and the rest will be diverted according to the list I gave you yesterday and sent to the surrounding key famine-stricken cities."
He had already made arrangements long before Jhin's food was delivered. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. If he had to think about it at the last minute, he probably wouldn't be able to do such a brain-intensive task.
Last night he read the financial report of Wano Country and the statistics of famine in various places, and he already had a plan for the distribution of food.
