The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 277 Purpose
"So, Mr. Alien, what is your purpose?"

Luo stared at Weiss with sharp eyes, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion.

He didn't believe that the mysterious man in front of him came to this world just for sightseeing, just as he didn't believe that there was kindness in the sea for no reason.

"There are things in this world that attract me," Weiss said, his lips curled up slightly as he stared at Law with a half-smile: "Devil Fruits are very interesting things."

Hearing this, Luo's body subconsciously couldn't help but take a step back, as if Weiss's words carried an invisible pressure.

However, he quickly steadied himself and stopped. A barely perceptible panic flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replaced by determination.

He knew that facing such a strong man, he could not show the slightest bit of cowardice.

"Can aliens eat devil fruits?" Bepo asked, tilting his furry head and blinking his big round eyes.

Its cute eyes were full of curiosity. To it, this question was like an interesting puzzle.

"I didn't say I was going to eat it. I just wanted to use it for research." Weiss looked at Bepo with a gentle smile. His smile was so gentle that no one could sense any malice in it.

"What a waste! Devil fruits are the secret treasures of the sea." Pekin frowned.

Devil fruits are extremely precious, and each one represents a powerful force that can change a person's destiny.

"That's right, if you eat it you will gain incredible power." Xia Qi also agreed.

In this ocean, Devil Fruit users often possess extraordinary strength. They are like legends on the sea, the objects of admiration and fear of countless people.

The Navy Marshal, the three admirals, and the three sea emperors are all devil fruit users.

This is enough to show how precious the devil fruit is.

Weiss smiled, he had no interest in becoming a devil fruit user.

In his opinion, although the devil fruit can give people powerful strength, this power is also accompanied by many limitations and risks. Moreover, compared with the power system he possesses, the power of the devil fruit is not what he pursues.

"How many devil fruits do you need?" Luo thought Weiss wanted him to help him collect devil fruits. He frowned slightly and calculated secretly in his mind.

He knew that if Weiss really wanted to collect a large number of devil fruits, it would be a nearly impossible task, but he still wanted to understand the size of Weiss's appetite first.

"The more the better, and the more powerful the devil fruits the better." Weiss's answer was simple and direct, but it scared them all.

This requirement is so astonishing, like a bottomless pit, that it makes people feel discouraged.

"Even the World Government won't agree to your request." Luo rubbed his head and said helplessly.

"Is it the coalition government that has ruled this world for 800 years?" Weiss' tone was filled with obvious contempt.

Hearing the contempt in Weiss's tone, Luo reminded him: "Don't underestimate them."

Luo is well aware of the power and terror of the World Government. They possess a huge military force, a complex intelligence network, and a mysterious power structure.

In this ocean, the world government is like an omnipresent shadow, covering every corner, and no one can easily escape their control.

However, Luo didn't know that Weiss knew far more than he did, and that what he considered powerful might just be the tip of the iceberg in Weiss's eyes. "Eight hundred years and still haven't integrated the world into one country? That's foolish and incompetent."

Weiss didn't understand what the World Government was doing. With such a long ruling time and abundant resources, it still kept the world in such a chaotic state.

He was unaware of the existence of Im, nor did he know the deeper secrets hidden behind the World Government, but judging from the surface alone, he had a very low opinion of the World Government.

The others were speechless with shock when they heard that Weiss did not take the World Government seriously.

In their world, the world government is a god-like existence and a symbol of absolute authority.

However, Weiss belittled them so lightly, which made the members of the Heart Pirates a little overwhelmed for a moment. They didn't know whether Weis was really fearless or just ignorant.

"So what do you need me to do?" Luo frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubt and caution as he looked directly at Weiss. He knew that this mysterious alien wouldn't reveal so much information to him for no reason. There must be a purpose, and this purpose was likely related to him and his companions.

Weiss smiled, holding a translucent crystal between his slender fingers. He handed it to Luo. Under the soft light of the spacecraft, the crystal reflected a charming light, and it seemed as if wisps of mist were floating inside, a dreamlike and illusory thing that made people want to explore it.

"What is this?" Luo reached out to take the crystal, his eyes full of confusion.

He took the crystal in his hand and turned it over and over, trying to find some clues, but apart from looking extremely beautiful and exquisite, there was nothing special about this crystal, at least he had not discovered it yet.

"Focus," Weiss whispered, his voice calm and gentle, yet with an undeniable power.

Law nodded, took a deep breath, and then followed Weiss's instructions, focusing his attention on the crystal.

At first, he only saw the cloud-like light and shadows slowly flowing inside the crystal, nothing special. But as his attention became more and more focused, the crystal seemed to be activated, and suddenly a bright light flashed.

Then, a shocking scene unfolded before his eyes.

He saw a huge planet, which emitted a mysterious and charming blue glow and was quietly suspended in the vast universe.

The center of the planet is surrounded by a vast continent. Outside the continent, countless islands are scattered across the planet's oceans.

These islands vary in size and shape. Some are like crescent moons, some are like giant mushrooms, and some are like mysterious monsters lurking on the sea.

Each island has its own unique landform and color. They are like bright pearls scattered on blue satin, forming a magnificent picture.

"What is this? A map!!" Luo's eyes widened and he quickly reacted.

A wave of surprise surged in his heart, for he knew that such a map was an invaluable treasure for pirates like them sailing on the sea.

"That's right," Weiss's voice suddenly appeared in his mind, as if whispering in his ear, "Having this map will be very helpful on your journey."

How did this map come about?
Weiss's spaceship has extremely powerful detection capabilities.

For Weiss, using the spacecraft's advanced detection technology to explore the terrain of a planet is as easy as observing the surrounding environment on land.

The detection equipment on the spacecraft can emit special signal waves that can penetrate the planet's atmosphere and reach every corner of the planet. The collected information will then be integrated and analyzed, and finally presented in a visual way in this magical crystal.
