Chapter 83 The Unexpected Golden Apple

'The breath of all things…'

Yang Bo used his mental power to perceive the scene of Wado Ichimonji striking the iron plate. It was not a physical act of breaking steel, but rather the interference of will with the material structure.

The world of One Piece is inherently unscientific.

The so-called "cutting iron" refers to a swordsman sensing the microscopic gaps and stress patterns in metal, using precise sword intent to channel power into the gaps, thus cracking the metal from the inside.

Theoretically, you could cut iron with any wooden stick, let alone a knife, because the iron ingot would be cut open before the knife even hits it.

The power of rules is truly terrifying.

Will > Matter

Amidst the stunned silence of Luffy and his crew, Zoro put away his Wado Ichimonji and earnestly addressed Yang Bo:

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to comprehend this power to cut through iron."

"No, you've already reached the Iron-Cutting Realm. My words are merely icing on the cake."

Yang Bo first glanced at the steel plate that had been cut in half on the ground.

'A humanoid cutting machine? That's impressive! If you used this to run a steel plate cutting plant, you could definitely make a fortune…'

He looked up at Zoro:

"I lack the talent. If I have the opportunity, could I take a young man under my wing and let him learn swordsmanship from you?"

Tanjiro is a good kid, but his swordsmanship talent is only average. It is rumored that Nezuko has exceptional swordsmanship talent, so we can let her give it a try sometime.

"can."

Zoro agreed very readily; he didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

"Zoro, you're amazing!!"

Luffy sidled up to Zoro, staring at him with shining eyes.

Zoro ignored Luffy, who suddenly had a seizure.

Just then, Chopper looked out into the deep sea and shouted, "An island! There's an island ahead!!"

Everyone turned their gaze toward the sea.

Under the sunlight, a golden island appeared in everyone's sight.

The Kingdom of Alabasta.

The giant sand dunes on the island are like mountains of gold.

Nami, holding a monocular telescope, gazed at the island: "There's a town on the edge of the island."

"That's Nanohara, a port city on the southeast coast, which means 'little flower of the desert country'."

Princess Vivi stroked her duck mount, gazing at the island with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.

"We can dock at the port of Nanohara to resupply."

"it is good!"

Luffy, who had just finished eating, started drooling again: "Let's go have a big meal first!"

boom!

Nami, unable to contain herself any longer, punched Luffy on the head.

"Are you a glutton? You ate more than half of the fried rice by yourself just now, and you're still thinking about eating more!"

The name Alabasta is clearly based on Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and Palestine.

The architecture and clothing worn by the residents here also conform to the stereotypes that people in the world before the time travel had about the inhabitants of the Middle East.

Yang Bo walked alone on the commercial street of Nanohara.

"Hey bro, I haven't seen you around."

Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard stepped in front of him and blocked his way: "First time in Alabasta? Want to take a look at the Golden Apple?"

After saying that, he handed the so-called golden apple in his hand to Yang Bo.

"Golden Apple (Fake)"

"Restores 4 hunger points"

"Increase saturation by 10 points"

Life Recovery II: 30 seconds

Damage Absorption I: 10 minutes

PS: Schrödinger's Golden Apple – freshly crafted golden apples don't have any attributes!

Yang Bo: "..."

Its attributes are exactly the same as the old version of the golden apple in Minecraft.

When the old man at the fruit stand saw Yang Bo stop, he immediately leaned closer excitedly and whispered:

"Let me tell you, this golden apple is a treasure I dug up in ancient ruins! One bite and you can live for a thousand years!"

"Oh? Really?"

"Of course!"

The old man grabbed Yang Bo's sleeve and pulled him to his fruit stand: "I only called you because I think we're destined to meet. For just 1000 Berries, this golden apple is yours."

To be honest, while 1000 bailes isn't cheap for an apple in a desert city, it's not expensive either.

In the world of One Piece, the ratio of Beli to Japanese Yen is basically 1:1.

This 'golden apple' is worth approximately 47 RMB.

Yang Bo reached out to take the golden apple from the old man's hand, but the old man dodged it.

"What are you doing? This is the legendary golden apple."

The old man immediately showed his displeasure:

"Cash on delivery".

"So, is your golden apple guaranteed to be ripe?"

Anyone who owns a fruit stand in China, upon hearing this, would probably already be reaching for their fruit knife.

But the old man in front of him still didn't react at all, his eyes filled with a desire for money.

"How could that be? This is a golden apple."

"I'm just asking you if you guarantee it's ripe."

The old man seemed to sense a change in Yang Bo's aura, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense.

"I...I won't sell to you anymore, you should leave now."

pity…

The old man isn't responding to his lines.

The voice just fell.

A golden longsword appeared in Yang Bo's hand, dazzling in the sunlight.

He reached out and took the golden apple from the old man's hand, weighing it up and down a couple of times.

"You just said this is a golden apple. If I cut it open and it's not golden, you'll swallow it whole."

“I… I meant its name is Golden Apple, not that it’s made of gold.”

"Oh? You just said that eating it would grant you a thousand years of life. Well then, I'll find someone on the verge of death to eat it. If they don't survive, then I'll make you pay with your life..."

thump--

The old man immediately knelt on the ground, pleading tearfully, "Young man, this is the first time I've done this, please, please let me go..."

"The scammers all claim it's their first time! 100 Berries each, I'll take as many as you have now."

"real?!"

The old man was completely dumbfounded when he heard Yang Bo's words.

"The 100 Berries price is because you did a great job painting. You should know that 50 Berries is enough to buy a reindeer."

Yang Bo took a gold bar out of his backpack and waved it in front of the old man!

In an instant, the old man nimbly jumped up from the ground, ran to the fruit stand, and yanked open the tablecloth covering the table, revealing the already painted golden apples inside.

There are at least hundreds of them, densely packed together.

There was also a paint bucket in the corner of these golden apples.

"..."

"Excuse me, sir..."

Simply toss the small gold bar to the old man; the value of this gold bar is definitely more than 100% of the agreed price.

Yang Bo's expression was similar to the old man's; he walked forward excitedly and put all the golden apples into his backpack.

Exactly two and a half sets, 64+64+32.

'Unfortunately, it's not an enchanted golden apple.'

The value of an enchanted golden apple far exceeds that of a golden apple, especially the old version of the enchanted golden apple, whose attributes were arguably overpowered.

Suddenly, Yang Bo saw a peculiar golden apple under the table; it was a golden apple covered with spiral patterns.

"Paranoia-type Apple Fruit"

"Gain special abilities after consuming it."

It can generate an infinite number of different types of apples: ordinary red apples, golden apples, healing green apples, gravity black apples, floating silver apples…

"After consuming it, one will develop a fear of seawater and sea stone..."

"P.S.: Did you drop this golden apple? Or this silver apple? Or this enchanted golden apple made of eight cubic units of gold?"
