Chapter 1328 - 39: Bad Luck and Good Fortune

Chapter 1328: Chapter 39: Bad Luck and Good Fortune

3:00 a.m. that night.

The nighttime in Dressrosa was very quiet, with groups of pirates huddled around campfires in the Giant Stone Area. These pirates seemed lifeless, and most had injuries.

The faint sound of wounded men’s wails echoed in the distance, coming from the sea area dozens of meters away from Dressrosa, where several large ships were side by side on the sea surface, and inside the cabin of one of the ships.

"Mama, what’s up?"

Katakuri was holding a telephone worm in his hand. Since there was no one else in the cabin, he had already pulled down his fur scarf, revealing the lower half of his face.

Judging by appearance alone, Katakuri could definitely be considered handsome, but his shark-like fangs made him look somewhat fierce, especially with those four sharp canine teeth.

"Katakuri,"

Big Mom’s voice was relatively calm. She paused for a moment and was about to continue when Katakuri spoke first.

"Got it, Mama. I’ll have people encircle Dressrosa until the negotiation results are satisfactory to us."

"Hmm."

When conversing with Katakuri, Big Mom wasn’t being her usual domineering self.

"But... I have to account for those subordinates who died in battle, plus Cracker died right in front of me."

"..."

Big Mom remained silent for a moment.

"Has the situation deteriorated to this extent?"

Katakuri keenly sensed something unusual about Charlotte Lingling. Normally, she’d never give up attacking Dressrosa, especially after Cracker died there.

"We won’t let go of Cracker’s vengeance so easily, but the war stops here. Return to Cake Island as soon as possible."

"Understood, Mama."

Katakuri hung up the telephone worm and stood up, looking through the window at the bright lights of Dressrosa. Just give him one more day, and he could capture this island.

"Doflamingo, Bai Ye, Jack..."

Katakuri’s shark-like fangs ground noisily. He understood his mother’s personality; Charlotte Lingling suddenly giving up the attack on Dressrosa indicated that their territory was in a precarious state.

Meanwhile, in a villa at King’s Highland.

Su Xiao was sitting on the roof of the villa, having hung up the communicator. Bubu Wang was on the return journey. Timing indicated that Buffalo and Bubu Wang should have already reached near Dressrosa.

The difficulty of flying at night was high. Buffalo reaching Totland quickly had some luck involved; the return journey was noticeably less smooth, encountering thunderstorm conditions and only able to fly at low altitude.

Buffalo’s biggest mistake was handing the Eternal Pointer to Bubu Wang and letting Bubu Wang guide the way.

After waiting for over forty minutes, Su Xiao vaguely heard the sound of propellers; Buffalo had arrived near King’s Highland.

Moments later, Buffalo landed in the courtyard, and Bubu Wang jumped off Buffalo’s back. The return trip had been fairly smooth.

Su Xiao jumped down from the roof, catching the eaves with one hand, then leaping smoothly into the fourth floor of the villa.

Tomorrow, he was to negotiate with Charlotte Lingling. Although he had planned to get some rest, he had not engaged in any recent combat during the past two days, so he did not feel tired.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Xiao hesitated for a moment before taking out two treasure chests from his storage space. Two Legendary treasure chests.

He had been wanting to open these two treasure chests, but needed to continuously manufacture alchemy bombs, yet even so, the Donquixote Family couldn’t withstand the assault of the Big Mom Pirate Group.

Now finally having free time, Su Xiao intended to open the two treasure chests, hoping to see if he could enhance his power before the negotiation.

As soon as Su Xiao took out the treasure chests, Bubu Wang pushed the door open and entered. Upon seeing the treasure chests in Su Xiao’s hands, it immediately turned back to lock the door and quickly ran forward, eagerly squatting in front of the bed, clearly implying: "Master, it’s time to show your ’extraordinary’ luck."

"I’ve actually had pretty good luck lately."

Su Xiao lit a cigarette with the Fate Redemption, exhaling a mouthful of light gold smoke, settling into the European King’s State.

With the European King’s State, Su Xiao’s confidence in opening the treasure chests was boosted by at least 300%. He picked up the treasure chest dropped by Speiro and opened it without hesitation.

[You opened the Treasure Chest (Legendary).]

[You received Legendary Honor.]

[You received 22,500 Paradise coins.]

[You received 17,000 Paradise coins.]

[You received 38,000 Paradise coins.]

[You received 57,000 Paradise coins.]

[You received 96,000 Paradise coins.]

...

Su Xiao reviewed the treasure chest opening records a few times, looking as if he couldn’t quite believe it.

"That’s... it?"

Acquiring a large sum of Paradise coins is undoubtedly a good thing, but what if 230,500 points of Paradise coins were obtained from a single Legendary treasure chest? The answer is it’s quite unlucky.

Even if a piece of Golden Equipment had been obtained, it would have been worth over 230,000; the matter was settled, regret wouldn’t help.

A few seconds later, Su Xiao’s nearly exploding mental state calmed down, and he picked up the other treasure chest.

At this moment, a dog paw pressed on the treasure chest. Bubu Wang’s large, watery eyes gazed up at Su Xiao, clearly meaning: "Master, if it really doesn’t work, let me do it; your European King’s State seems a bit unreliable."

"It’s the accumulation of luck. I have a feeling it’s going to work this time."

Hearing this, Bubu Wang’s face had a comical look of embarrassment, but it could only encourage Su Xiao with its gaze.

Su Xiao took a deep breath, disbelieving he could strike out twice in a row.

The Legendary treasure chest opened slowly, a dazzling light burst forth; the light was so blinding that both Su Xiao and Bubu Wang instinctively turned away and closed their eyes.

Su Xiao’s heart raced as the Legendary treasure chest flashed; it was his first time experiencing a flash when opening a Legendary treasure chest.

Soon after, the light faded.

[You opened the Treasure Chest (Legendary).]

[You received Legendary Honor ×8.]

[You received Grandmaster’s Power (1/10).]

[You received Soul Crystal (Large) ×10.]

[You received Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit · Paramecia Type.]

...

Su Xiao directly got Cracker’s Devil Fruit. The power of the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit ability is well-known, but it requires long-term development and has obvious weaknesses.

Although that is true, Devil Fruit abilities are quite popular in Reincarnation Paradise, as nearly all abilities have weaknesses. How to avoid weaknesses depends on the user’s wisdom.

In principle, the Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit isn’t afraid of seastone and seawater. By enveloping oneself in biscuits, one can avoid contact with seastone.

As for seawater, biscuits can float on the sea surface. If quick to react, by creating a large amount of biscuits before falling into the sea, one can totally avoid falling into the seawater.

Su Xiao tossed the cantaloupe-shaped Biscuit-Biscuit Fruit in his hand, this fruit was entirely yellow with a surface full of curly patterns.

Su Xiao looked at Bubu Wang, and Bubu Wang shook his head like a rattling drum, remembering how Speiro died; it didn’t want to become a landlocked dog.

As for A Mu, it couldn’t eat the fruit at all, as its body was filled with ice energy. Eating this fruit might trigger unknown side effects.
