Vehicles, Ace’s Skiff – Modified

Chapter 305: Vehicles, Ace’s Skiff – Modified

Mad-level Potter’s afro was over half a meter wide, visible even from a great distance.

When Bai Cangshu arrived at his stall, he found a dark-skinned, muscular man standing there as well. The man had short black hair and carried a Claymore on his back.

"Potter, I can pay above market price for this vehicle. I only need you to change its power source to magic."

Mad-level Potter waved him off, impatiently driving the man away.

"This isn’t about the price."

"Did you sign a contract?"

The man pressed on. Potter shook his head, denying the guess, his face solemn as he said,

"No contract was signed, but this concerns my professional ethics. Ethics, understand?!"

The man’s expression chilled. Everyone knew Reincarnator was never a profession with ethics. If a Reincarnator used ethics to refuse you, they probably simply had no interest in working with you.

"Mad-level Potter, Crimson Lotus probably has no time to look after its outside teams lately. I suggest you think carefully about my offer."

Unable to negotiate, the man turned to threats.

But Mad-level Potter still could not be bothered with him.

Bai Cangshu happened to arrive at the stall then. He was tall, and his pink robe was striking enough that both Mad-level Potter and the man recognized him at once.

"Take a look. Satisfied?"

Among the items at his stall was a narrow metal skiff over two meters long but less than half a meter wide. Mad-level Potter had changed its originally bright yellow coating into blue and white.

Ace’s Skiff – Modified

Quality: Rare (Silver Plot Equipment Modification)

Description: The vehicle of Portgas D. Ace from One Piece World and its Derivative Worlds, modified by alchemist Mad-level Potter using a Cloud Dial and high-tech equipment.

Usage Requirement: Must possess lightning-type energy with an energy value of no less than 15.

Effect 1: Based on lightning output, can move at high speed across water at 100–500 knots.

Effect 2: Can move through the air by releasing the Cloud Dial. Aerial movement is faster, but energy consumption increases by 75%.

It was not particularly exquisite. In terms of size and efficiency alone, it was less useful than Technology Faction vehicles like the Green Demon Skateboard.

Nor was it as convenient as magic-side items like a Flying Broom.

However, both were extremely expensive and usually unavailable even at a price. Without the convenient exchange methods of Primordial Infinite Flow, obtaining a Green Demon Skateboard that could be taken out of a mission world was quite difficult in the current Space.

Furthermore, as a body-technique Reincarnator who used qi as energy, he had few options beyond high-tech vehicles.

Before finding an ability like the Sky Dancing Technique, Bai Cangshu still needed to rely on this sort of vehicle for long-distance travel.

"Not bad. Name your price."

This thing could use lightning to travel swiftly over the sea and through the air. Moreover, thanks to the Cloud Dial, it could create footholds in midair to a certain extent. Combined with Bai Cangshu’s Moonwalk, his mobility would become extremely high.

"Mercenary Tao, you’re the one who made an appointment with Mad-level Potter?"

The man’s Avatar was nearly 1.9 meters tall. As he examined Bai Cangshu, there was not much hostility in his tone.

He did not, as Bai Cangshu had expected, begin by threatening him and forcibly provoking a conflict.

A man’s reputation preceded him. Having survived that disastrous team battle mission in One Piece World and personally killed Flame Demon, the rising new star of the East District, Mercenary Tao had made enough of an impression among Title-level Reincarnators to be regarded as one of their peers by these elite Reincarnators.

To Mad-level Potter’s surprise, this man carrying a greatsword and seemingly cosplaying Guts actually chose to back down.

"Since it’s someone like you, Black Beast won’t fight over this item. But Mercenary Tao, are you interested in joining us?"

"I know you don’t have a fixed team yet. Crimson Lotus may look powerful with all its members, but they’re nothing more than a rabble following behind Luoxi’s skirts. That kind of gathering, heh, has no future."

The brutish-looking man now patiently explained himself, trying to persuade Bai Cangshu to join his team.

Bai Cangshu raised a brow. The team’s name seemed to suggest certain things already.

The man continued his pitch.

"And besides, you understand. Luoxi is a woman, after all. There are many things where she won’t understand your needs…"

The man’s blatant implication made Mad-level Potter frown. He was the sort who could dissolve stress by throwing himself into creation, so he could not understand why the people of Black Beast were so obsessed with plundering Plot Characters and sexual violence.

But the establishment of the Finality Empire had indeed caused considerable ripples among the Reincarnators. Both Crimson Lotus and Luoxi had been affected.

At a time like this, Mad-level Potter did not want to provoke a conflict with Black Beast. So he said nothing and merely initiated a trade in silence.

GA99954770 (Mad-level Potter) has initiated a trade with you. Accept?

Bai Cangshu accepted. At the same time, he merely smiled playfully at the man’s invitation.

"Oh, female slaves? I happen to have one myself. I wonder whether the female slaves your team captures come in stronger varieties…"

The man frowned. Stronger?

He could not understand Bai Cangshu’s fetish.

Bai Cangshu stepped forward. The black pendant hanging from his ear swayed faintly, while the tiny black figure gulped down the killing intent continuously produced from Bai Cangshu’s body.

Derek’s pupils contracted. He sensed Mercenary Tao’s sinister nature. Just as the rumors said, this man was a complete lunatic.

That instant of killing intent even made his heart tremble.

He realized Mercenary Tao was not someone easy to deal with, and his desire to recruit him weakened considerably.

"Haha, looks like you have unique tastes too. If you get the chance, come visit our team’s base and experience it for yourself…"

With that, Derek turned and left Mad-level Potter’s stall, heading into the distance. There, many Plot Characters had been placed before stalls. They were merely shells stripped of thought and personality, and Bai Cangshu had no interest in them.

Trade 1 B-rank Anomaly Point + 12,000 Dimensional Points for the modified item Ace's Skiff - Modified?

Efficient vehicles carried a substantial premium in the Space. The Nimbus 2000 Bai Cangshu had acquired through killing not only got him the Garuda Blade from Liren Chou, but had also required only one additional B-rank Anomaly Point for her to include the Hakkesshu: Orochi Yashiro’s Legacy, an item of extremely high value.

Because for many Reincarnators, efficient vehicles basically corresponded to stronger survival ability.

Bai Cangshu transferred those Anomaly Points and Dimensional Points from Li Qingzi’s resources to the other party.

You have obtained the item: Ace's Skiff - Modified

Bai Cangshu stepped onto it. With a thought, crackling sounds immediately rang out from his body. The electricity stored in his heart flowed into the skiff at once, and in the next instant, the skiff rose into the air amid the eruption of white Cloud Dial mist.

Its flight was more like riding a skateboard, using the Cloud Dial to glide at high speed through the air. It was fairly convenient to control. Bai Cangshu only tested it briefly before putting it away.

QO60833805 (Moon Demon) sent a message: A very troublesome person wants to meet you. I think he’s most likely Heart Demon, the most mysterious of the Four Demons.
