"Positive emotion points: 72,352"
"Negative emotion points: 1,251,216"
The world was in turmoil, and everyone had different thoughts in their hearts. Now, all those thoughts turned into an unseen power that flowed into Genichi's body, becoming positive and negative emotions he could use.
He found that once the emotion points reached one million, the amount each person contributed became smaller, dropping to about half of what it was before. Otherwise, his negative points would be far beyond 1.2 million by now.
From his guess, a 100,000-point draw would only give a one-time-use card, and only when it hit the 100,000-point limit would it be enough to reach the peak level of this world's fighting power.
If compared by later standards, that would mean people like Kaido, Shiki the Golden Lion, or Whitebeard—top-level fighters. Normally, to capture someone like that, Sengoku and Garp would have to fight together, and only if the target fought to the death.
The Nine-Tails was about the same. In the end, it took Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr working together to bring it down, but mostly because they couldn't let the Nine-Tails cause even bigger destruction. It had to be wiped out as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, a normal 100,000 negative point card would probably summon someone around the level of strong fighters from the Four Seas or bounty hunters worth over 100 million—like the Supernovas. For example, that poisonous gas was basically equal to someone with a strong Devil Fruit and some real training.
After all, Stands in the JoJo world were strange and powerful, but because of how that world worked, they were different. JoJo's world still followed real-world rules, while the One Piece world had a fantasy style, with not just superpowers, but also systematic training methods and ways to counter abilities.
He didn't know what the original Stand should have been like, but he was sure of one thing: the things he drew with emotion points could never be invincible. For example, in JoJo only Stand users could see Stands, and only Stands could hurt other Stands. That kind of thing was impossible here.
Stands, for him, were more like Devil Fruit powers, except they weren't weak to seawater. They might crush normal people, but they could still be sensed by Observation Haki, hit by Armament Haki, or even clashed with Conqueror's Haki. There was no way he could use just a small amount of emotion points to get something unbeatable.
Not to mention, getting a hundred thousand points wasn't that hard. The strength of a card draw matched the difficulty of earning that amount of emotional value. It's just that Astral Foul Air was a special case—its ability to dodge was really strong.
In the One Piece world, there were plenty of Devil Fruits like that. For example…
The Barrier Fruit, the Hobby-Hobby Fruit—these were all fruits with broken abilities. Even if the user wasn't strong, within the area their fruit specialized in, they were nearly unbeatable.
Astral Foul Air belonged to that kind.
And as for one million emotional value—his estimate was that it matched pirates at the level of Supernovas worth over a billion, up to executives under Yonko or the Shichibukai. The upper limit was probably people like Doflamingo or Jinbe.
A card drawn with one million emotional value would definitely count as a powerhouse in this world. Maybe not at the very top, but in One Piece it would be someone well-known and highly respected.
Ten million emotional value would be at the level of Yonko executives, Admirals, or even the Yonko themselves—basically the peak strength of this world.
As for the highest level—one hundred million emotional value—could it mean surpassing even the strongest power in this world?
And that was just for normal cards. He couldn't even imagine what level a one-time-use card would be!
But…
It was probably best not to get one. After all, a one-time-use card would disappear right away. Just thinking about spending one or ten million emotional value to summon a powerful person who would only last for a short while—no matter how strong they were, he doubted he'd be tempted.
Some time had already passed since the Sabaody incident. During this time, he had been studying his ability. When he dug deep, it felt like he could hear a voice from the depths of his soul, as if guiding him to the right answer, helping him understand the true nature of his power.
He realized there was one more unrestricted feature: the people he summoned could also train and learn abilities from the One Piece world. Since everyone was influenced by this world, even if they didn't have their original advantages anymore, they should still be able to gain some of its strengths.
It was like how people who originally couldn't see Stands were now able to see them, because they had adapted to this world's rules. So naturally, during the adaptation, they should also be able to train according to its rules.
As for himself, he didn't care much. As long as he could keep drawing cards, his strength would keep growing. Even if the growth was only one percent at a time, every draw made him stronger. And since the summoned characters counted as a part of him, their power also counted as Genichi's own strength.
Right now, he had over 1.2 million negative emotional value and more than seventy thousand positive emotional value. He really didn't understand—why did he get so little positive value even after blasting Mary Geoise? Weren't the people oppressed by the Celestial Dragons supposed to be happy?
Maybe they didn't see the news? Or maybe they felt more fear than joy?
Genichi wasn't sure. But since both numbers were still climbing, with emotions from all over the world pouring into him, he decided to wait until the positive emotional value broke one hundred thousand before using it on items.
As for the negative emotions, they probably wouldn't reach ten million anyway…
After all, once his negative emotional value passed one million, the benefits he got were cut in half. And he didn't know if it would keep dropping later. So he decided to do another draw—this time for a one-million-level card.
So far, he had done two negative emotion draws: one was the one-time-use Nine-Tails, the other was the Stand "Astral Foul Air." Both had been extremely important for his progress.
Now, he wanted to draw again.
"Elder Toguro: From the Yu Yu Hakusho world. A B-class demon with immense muscle power, able to strengthen his body with demon energy. Although classified as B-class, when he goes beyond his limits, he may reach A-class demon strength."
Going beyond his limits—that must mean pushing past his supposed "100%" power. Drawing such a strong demon might be the perfect way to test his theory.
If…
If Elder Toguro's powerful body trained in Haki, just how far could his strength be pushed?!
He wondered…
Could he even awaken Conqueror's Haki?
