Chapter 18 - Magical items

Watching Luo Yan pull out item after item, Dragon was slightly lost in thought.

He had expected Luo Yan to pull out weapon after weapon, but he hadn't anticipated that none of the things pulled out looked like they could enhance combat power.

"These things..."

Dragon's unfinished sentence already conveyed his complete meaning.

Luo Yan chuckled, then pointed to the ring.

"This ring allows anyone to dive for fifteen minutes without any equipment.

The negative effect is that the wearer will be very afraid of dryness and will become very thirsty, requiring frequent water.

It corresponds to Sequence 9 Sailor, and costs 12 million Berries."

Dragon raised an eyebrow, and his gaze at the ring immediately changed.

For devil fruit users at sea, this was a divine artifact!

"Alright, 12 million Berries, I'll take it!"

Dragon didn't haggle; he even felt the price was very cheap.

Luo Yan nodded.

He wasn't surprised by this outcome.

He knew the significance of this item to devil fruit users.

Let alone 12 million Berries, he thought it could even sell for 100 million Berries.

However, he didn't try to raise the price.

He had done all this to connect with the Revolutionary Army, and it would be too much of a loss if their relationship broke down over the price.

Luo Yan reached out to point at the sheer gloves, about to introduce them, when Dragon suddenly interjected, "Aren't you worried we'll kill you and take your goods?"

Luo Yan's hand paused in the air, then dropped, a smile appearing on his face.

"No worries.

Have you forgotten?

I'm skilled in prophecy.

Since I decided to come see you, how could I not make a prophecy beforehand?

And can you really keep me?

Even a Sequence 9 Sailor can stay in the sea for twenty minutes.

I'm more than just Sequence 9; I can dive into the deep sea at any time, unless you can instantly kill me."

Luo Yan, of course, couldn't prophesy, but with his astrology orb, he had performed a divination for himself before landing in Loguetown, receiving a result that meeting Dragon would be without danger.

This was why he hadn't been overly cautious of Dragon from the start.

Moreover, knowing the plot, he also knew what kind of organization the Revolutionary Army was—an organization that could absolutely be called just, making the probability of them committing acts like murder and robbery extremely low.

"You're right.

The continuous surprises made me forget your most skilled ability."

Dragon smiled wryly and shook his head, signaling Luo Yan to continue his introduction.

Luo Yan raised his hand again, pointing to the sheer gloves.

"These gloves also correspond to Sequence 9, and the potion is called 'Apprentice'.

They only have one ability: opening doors.

They can open any door without a key, and can also create a door in a wall without one to pass through.

The negative effect is that the wearer will become a complete and utter directionally challenged person!"

"A very practical ability!

12 million Berries is not expensive."

Dragon bought the gloves again without hesitation.

These gloves, on an ordinary person, might just make them a skilled Thief, but in the hands of the Revolutionary Army, it was different.

As an organization aiming to overthrow nations, infiltration missions were very common, and a pair of gloves that could open any door and pass through walls was perfectly suited for infiltration.

Luo Yan nodded, without any pause, directly pointed to the third item, the black stick.

"This stick corresponds to Sequence 8, and the potion is called 'Beast Tamer'.

After holding this stick, the holder can understand animal speech and can command animals through the stick, from elephants to mosquitoes, all can be commanded."

"Of course, whether the command ultimately succeeds still depends on the holder's communication with the animal.

This communication includes, but is not limited to, verbal communication and physical communication.

Oh, and by the way, you can only command 3 animals simultaneously at most.

The negative effect is that the holder's libido will increase, so it's best for married individuals who are with their partners to use it.

Of course, it can also be used by people who frequently visit Happy Street."

A glimmer of light flashed in Dragon's eyes.

Just the ability to communicate with animals was already very powerful, and being able to command three animals was also a very practical ability in some special missions.

"34 million Berries is a fair price."

Dragon once again expressed his intention to purchase.

Luo Yan nodded, then pointed to the red wristband.

"This wristband corresponds to Sequence 7, and the potion is called 'Pyromaniac'.

The wearer can use fire spells, such as Fire Crows, Fireballs, and Fire Javelins.

It's a magical item that can directly enhance combat power.

The negative effect is that the wearer will become obnoxious, and every word spoken will sound provocative, so it's best for someone with good fighting skills to wear it, otherwise, they might very likely be focused down and killed by enemies."

"Controlling fire?

It seems somewhat similar to the Mera Mera no Mi.

I've seen Fire Fist Ace fight."

"So, how do you feel about this item for 80 million Berries?"

Dragon thought for a moment, then nodded: "Although I don't know the specific power yet, it's a relatively direct item.

80 million Berries is acceptable.

Then this last bowl is for 200 million Berries?

I'm actually a bit curious how you'll convince me to buy a bowl for 200 million Berries."

Dragon teased Luo Yan, who spread his hands and shrugged, then began his introduction:

"This bowl corresponds to Sequence 6, and the potion is called 'Living Corpse'.

It can make the holder's skin as hard as steel, almost ignoring gunshots.

Speed and strength will also greatly increase; punching down a wall is very easy.

And it can also use ice spells.

After filling this bowl with water and splashing the water onto a corpse, the corpse will rise again, controlled by the holder.

There's almost no limit to the number; perhaps there is, but I haven't found the upper limit.

I once used it to reanimate fifty-four animal corpses, and still had power left.

Its usual negative effect isn't strong; it merely makes one's desire for slaughter increase just a tiny bit, just a tiny bit."

At this point, Luo Yan pinched the first joint of his index finger with his right thumb, indicating that "a tiny bit" really was just "a tiny bit," then continued:

"But during a full moon, this desire becomes extremely strong.

I haven't experienced it, but I've divined it.

It's something even those with strong willpower find hard to resist, so it's best not to use this item during a full moon."

After speaking, Luo Yan seemed to recall something else and added:

"But it's not absolute.

Although the full moon will drive the holder into madness, it will also give the holder a considerable boost.

Speed and strength will further increase.

If one falls into a desperate situation and coincidentally encounters a full moon, it might bring the holder a glimmer of hope."
