The person who said this was the humble designer in front of Arrita. The other person's attitude and words towards Arrita were still respectful, but the meaning of the words was undoubtedly full of a kind of arrogance that almost made her The breath of being in a daze.

"Trash? Me?"

Even Nami was shocked by such words. After looking around, she was shocked to find that the specific referent of the other person's adjective seemed to be herself carrying two barrels and wearing ordinary clothes.

"The core concept of our Kingdom of Goa is to exclude all dirty garbage, so it can become one of the most beautiful countries in the world. So, since you need our decoration advice, of course we also want to advise you Do this."

There was not even a superfluous expression on the designer's face, and all his words were like the common sense he had acquired and recognized since he was a child. He did not feel at all that it was rude to describe another person as trash.

(PS1: Well~~The first update today~I have to work hard for the third update today~~So please ask for more monthly tickets. It’s the last day, so try your best no matter what~~)

(PS2: We are about to enter the private goods plot that I want to join~~Ah~~I’m a little excited just thinking about it~)

A gem that tastes like blood

Arrita felt cold all over her body. Even though the temperature at this time was quite pleasant, it felt like she was in an ice cave at this moment.

One thing that is certain is that she is definitely not a murderer who likes to watch killing scenes, and she is not an aesthetic abnormality who likes monsters. The reason why she felt chills all over was because she thought of some pictures that were enough to make her shudder.

The images of blood splattering out, brains smeared on the deck, and broken limbs that looked like they had been torn apart by monsters were the source of her fear. And she had already been lucky enough to watch it once, on the ship of the unlucky Tulip Pirates.

Even though she considers herself to be a qualified pirate captain, Arrita is still certain that she is afraid of those images. After all, this is human instinct. Only demons would like that kind of bloody slaughterhouse. Humans would not be adaptable to that kind of scene anyway.

"Pfft~ Hahahaha~ What an interesting habit. Well, in that case, Rita, you should choose this gentleman's decoration suggestion. After all, there are not many people who can make me laugh."

However, the bloody scene that made Arrita guess did not appear. Nami, who was carrying two oak barrels, couldn't help but laugh. Based on Arrita's experience with the other party, the orange-haired girl There was indeed no irritation, just a feeling of interest.

Obviously, Nami is not one of those people who gets angry when she is looked down upon. She has long passed the age where she gets angry when others look down on her. If she loses control of her emotions just because of a few words of teasing, then she is really too weak. Of course, there were words she couldn't bear, such as the insulting thoughts about her body. As for the designers of the Kingdom of Goa, in her eyes, they are just a group of poor people who have been distorted by the cultural influence they received, just like the ants that struggle when they are pinched. The nature of these people's rejection is basically similar to this.

As Luffy's hometown, the Kingdom of Goa is a place where the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons, can condescend to visit. It relies on that pathological 'isolation'. Let's put it this way, this country can be roughly divided into six parts, and the outermost ones are small villages like Windmill Village. Under the city wall of the capital, there is a super-large garbage dump called the 'Uncertain Terminal'. This is why the Kingdom of Goa can become the 'cleanest country' because of all the 'garbage' inside it. , everything from domestic garbage on items to poor beggars and so on are abandoned here.

Within the ring-shaped city wall of the Kingdom of Goa, from the outside to the inside, there are 'Bian Town', 'Central Street', 'Gao Town', and 'Palace'. The side towns and central streets are connected, but the high towns and The royal palace is behind the other two ring-shaped inner walls. The entire building area is like a spiral tower. The royal family is on the top floor, the nobles are on the lower floor, and the common people are below. s position.

The class concept of human nature is not only divided by this external building, but also by the education implemented inside. That is, only the residents within the kingdom's huge ring-shaped city walls can be regarded as real "people", and all other people, except for other nobles, are just garbage.

That's why Nami doesn't get angry. To be precise, she doesn't even bother to get angry. It's just meaningless and uninteresting to be angry with some poor people whose concepts have been distorted since childhood. In fact, this incredibly stupid idea made her sincerely amused. It is obvious that people who rely on transactions with other people to achieve economic success insist on thinking that they are superior to others. Such contradictory behavior is not so much stupid as it is pitiful.

However, there are really people who think they have completely isolated their country. Speaking of which, a certain real-life country seems to want to build an isolation wall or something on its own border. It seems that whether human beings are smart or not, Stupidity has something in common.

"Ah...yes..."

Nami was not angry, but this made Arrita feel more and more afraid. After all, if you are just the kind of person who gets angry when you are looked down upon, such a temper and character will be easier to understand and grasp. However, instead of getting angry, Nami laughed, which made her feel a deeper and deeper fear in the other person's heart.

Shaking her head, Nami was too lazy to stay here. Anyway, the purpose of finding these people was to decorate the ship, not to perform mind-correction surgery on them. And her current interest is how to make metal blocks with Devil Fruit abilities. It is known that she can use blood poison to make quenched metal have the effect of damaging the body's self-healing ability, so there is no reason that other fruits cannot have the same ability. .

If this is the case, it would be interesting, because it means that she has mastered a unique method of using abilities. Although it seems that the abilities inherited through the blood quenching method are not too strong at present, as long as there is a direction, It is only a matter of time before the methods can be improved.

However, just when Nami reached the cabin door, her footsteps stopped suddenly.

It wasn't that she heard any subsequent slanderous words, or that she suddenly changed her mind and intended to correct these people's distorted thinking, but because she sensed some extremely special aura.

An inappropriate metaphor, it was as if she smelled something extremely exciting within that distance, but no matter whether she took a step back or took a step forward, she would immediately lose that feeling. This is obviously unusual. Things that can be sensed by the Blood Fruit can undoubtedly only be related to blood, but if it is really blood, it cannot be something that only displays aura at a specific distance.

Slowly putting down the two oak barrels on her shoulders, Nami turned her head and looked at the group of designers waiting for Arrita to meet with a cold expression. Within the distance that she could sense, it happened to be her and The closest thing to a female designer is a very beautiful and fashionable woman. The pink and white fan in her hand is full of the elegance of the upper class. At the end of the handle of the fan, It is inlaid with a sparkling red gem, and the aura that gives Nami a strong sense of pull is emanating from that red gem.

Stone? What kind of stone can actually emit an aura that is as strong as or even stronger than blood?

Walking towards this woman, Nami obviously did not intend to let go of this unexpected clue. From the current point of view, this encounter is undoubtedly an extremely coincidental coincidence. If she misses it, she may never encounter a similar opportunity again, and Nami's instinct is even more She felt a little wary. The blood fruit already had enough weaknesses, and she didn't want another inexplicable thing to appear.

"Hey~ don't come near here, you piece of trash!"

Noticing Nami's behavior of walking towards her, the female designer suddenly turned pale. It wasn't even disgust, but a kind of horror when she saw cockroaches or dirty things approaching her. But at this moment, she had a clear purpose. Nami obviously would not listen to her nonsense anymore. Instead, she raised her hand. Her nails were like razors, leaving a bloody gash on the woman's face. The pain on her face and the The fear of being disfigured made the female designer almost fall to the ground, and then she covered her face and screamed: "Help! There is garbage trying to attack!"

"Please be quiet, ma'am."

To deal with this kind of woman who has not yet fully understood, Nami just raised her hand again with a cold expression, and swiped it, leaving a bloody mouth on the other half of the woman's face. But this time, the woman obviously didn't even ask for help. His thoughts were gone, and all he had left was the strength to instinctively cover his face with his hands and look at Nami, trembling.

"What's going on? What is this hateful trash doing?"

"Who's going to stop her? Or call the guards?"

The rest of the designers around them were shouting loudly one by one, but although their voices were loud, they left the area one by one in an instant, and no one planned to come up to save the beauty or anything like that, but this time It is obviously the norm. After all, how can a person who thinks he is noble lower his status and personally do something like this that only guards do?

"Where did you get the gem on your fan? I'm only asking once."

Staring at the woman in front of her, Nami spoke simply and directly, and covering her cheek, the female designer tremblingly replied: "In... the Gao Lin jewelry store in the city..."

"Is there a Gao Lin jewelry store in the city? Very good. Are there other similar gems?"

Frowning slightly, Nami obviously didn't think this was good news. Although she didn't know why this gem could interfere with her perception of blood, this was often not a good thing, and now it seemed that this gem was not alone. , but maybe a series exists?

"Yes...the name of this gem is blooddrop stone...it is a very precious jewelry material..."

The female designer, who was so frightened by Nami's cruel methods that she didn't even dare to cry, answered the interrogation with great grievance, while Nami, who had obtained all the information, simply nodded: "Very good, it looks like I have it." That’s the purpose of scanning goods. Okay, stand up, ma’am, your face is fine, and thank you very much for providing the information.”

After saying that, Nami walked straight into the cabin, and the unlucky female designer took out the makeup mirror she carried with her in disbelief, only to find that there were no wounds on her face at all, as if the wounds had never appeared. , or it seems that it healed immediately after being cut.

This turmoil also made the atmosphere in the cabin extremely embarrassing. Arrita was not sure whether Nami wanted to deal with these rude designers, and these designers who witnessed Nami's murder but found no evidence They were undoubtedly quite chaotic. Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long before it was broken again.

"Decided, it seems that I still need to go to the inner city."

Accompanied by a crisp female voice, Nami's figure appeared in front of everyone again, but at this moment, she was undoubtedly completely different from her previous dress.

A luxurious one-piece dress inlaid with broken gems perfectly wrapped her slender and graceful figure, and her beautiful long orange hair was fixed by several hairpins inlaid with gems, and her face was covered with a light white The veil gives this beauty an extremely alluring mystery and haziness. Coupled with the long gloves and long high-heeled boots that resemble a distinguished identity, her image at this moment can no longer be described as gorgeous and noble.

These clothes are undoubtedly extremely expensive luxury goods, but it is a pity that they appear not in high-end fashion stores delivered by merchant ships, but in the treasure house of Creek, the overlord of the East China Sea. Apparently, a certain unlucky merchant ship became the A sign of its prey, but now that Creek has been seriously ill and retired, these clothes naturally have better owners.

Even Arrita, who had been with Nami for some time, was subconsciously slightly absent-minded at this moment, not to mention the designers standing on one side. These people who were full of noble and gorgeous words were now the only ones left. He looked dazed and stupid.

"I really like this kind of gemstone. It's like there is some kind of connection between them and me. I really want to study and play with it carefully."

(PS1: Alas, there is no need to be angry with some ants, just like Sange, Bangzi, etc. After all, they are that kind of species. It would be a bit too unhuman to be angry with them because of their nature.)

(PS2: Private goods inserted successfully~~ Can anyone else recognize the ‘blood drop stone’?)

gems and shadows

Originally, Nami had no intention of entering the Kingdom of Goa. After all, there was no reason for a human being to step into the garbage dump to inspect. However, since the emergence of this kind of blood drop stone that actually responded to her ability, she immediately changed her schedule and searched for usable treasures in the garbage dump. This was something she did when she was a child. Now It's nothing to revisit.

With a clear destination, the journey will be shortened a lot. When Nami, who was holding a lady's umbrella, got off the taxi on the street, she saw a rather luxurious facade, with the neon-decorated signboard 'Gao Lin Jewelry Store'. 'Exceptionally dazzling, it can be seen that the business of this store is quite good.

Taking a slight breath, Nami raised her face from under the lady's umbrella. Her eyes were like the glimmer of ruby ​​​​in the slanting sunlight at this moment. The fact that her eyes turned red was a symbol that her ability was beginning to activate at full strength, and at this moment she could definitely feel the strong blood reaction coming from this store. However, this is obviously not because of the people inside, but it proves that there is indeed a large amount of blood drop stones stored inside.

"Welcome, beautiful lady, your presence makes the jewels inside my store eclipse. Is there anything I can do that I have the honor of being of service to?"

The clerk behind the counter is obviously very professional, and such a poem-like compliment is enough to make any customer happy. To this, Nami just nodded slightly, and then said: "I want to find the blood drop stone. Last time, I met a woman." I’ve seen it on my neck, and I think I should be more suitable for that color.”

"Oh~ you are really quite stylish. According to your eye color, if you wear a blood-drop stone necklace, you will be able to create a charming matching feeling. You see, this is a blood-drop stone necklace , now we only need 30 million beli, what do you think?"
