A heart, enveloped in blood-like flames, thumped, exuding a terrifying pressure.
Dragon Heart: The heart of a fallen giant dragon from Rune Continent, crafted into an accessory.
"It's actually a dragon's heart?"
Shanks was surprised.
Kaido, one of the Four Emperors known as the strongest creature, is a Blue Dragon Fruit user, and even a skilled Armed Haki user cannot break his defense.
This accessory on the shelf was actually made from a dragon's heart.
The craftsman capable of such a feat must possess extremely refined skill and powerful strength!
He truly wished to invite the craftsman who forged this Dragon Heart onto his ship to become a companion.
"However, does my will want me to become a giant dragon?"
Shanks scratched his head, somewhat perplexed.
He had witnessed both Kaido's Animal Devil Fruit and the Revolutionary Army Leader's display of dragon power, neither of which seemed very suitable for his fighting style.
"Not all goods related to dragons will cause players to evolve into giant dragons."
Fang Yi corrected Shanks's simplistic notion, saying, "While it's true that once bloodlines make contact, or if one is exposed to the aura of a high-level life form like a giant dragon for an extended period, a gradual 'Dragonization' state is inevitable, the craftsman who forged the Dragon Heart possesses extremely high skill and has already eliminated such side effects."
After all, during the process of gradual Dragonization, without the support of a tenacious will, one could easily devolve into a mindless beast.
Unless they are evil-aligned craftsmen, most righteous and orderly craftsmen with sufficient ability will remove negative statuses from the equipment they forge.
"The Dragon Heart is an extremely rare, growth-type equipment."
Fang Yi raised his hand, and the Dragon Heart, enveloped in flames, landed on the counter. He said, "After wearing it, your vitality, armor, magic resistance, physical and energy attack power, including skill cooldowns, will all increase."
"Furthermore, as long as you continuously hunt powerful monsters, it will absorb monster essence and become even stronger."
Upon hearing that it could grow stronger by hunting monsters,
Shanks stared intently at the Dragon Heart, smiling, "Equipment that gets stronger just by adventuring everywhere, it's truly perfect for an Adventurer!"
Buy!
Even if other players found a desirable item, they would still wait to see subsequent items before making a decision.
Red-Haired Shanks was different; having abandoned his conflicted mindset about destiny, he was undoubtedly the freest person on this vast sea.
Unrestrained.
There was no need to hesitate; if he liked it, he would buy it. If he didn't have enough reward points, he would go earn them. Hunting Pollution Monsters was also part of adventuring.
The initial equip level of the Dragon Heart was Lv.1.
The more monsters Shanks hunted, the stronger it would become, and the higher the attribute bonuses it could provide to Shanks.
However, it capped at Lv.19.
Beyond that, it would require hunting some Contaminated Lords and finding the dropped item, [Tier 1 Equipment Upgrade Scroll], to break its limit and continue improving.
"My whole body feels warm, and I feel an endless surge of energy!"
Shanks's eyes widened suddenly.
Although this type of full-status enhancing equipment had low individual attribute boosts, its overall status enhancement was incredibly exaggerated.
Shanks's strength bottleneck, which had been stagnant, was directly broken through.
"Next!"
Shanks stretched his shoulders and looked at the subsequent goods.
A glass bottle containing a gently swirling pale golden liquid.
Mind's Eye Elixir: Upon consumption, there is a chance to awaken the sixth sense, [Mind's Eye], which discards the five senses, and to control the power of fluctuation .
Note: No purchase limit.
"Mind's Eye Wave?"
Shanks carefully examined the description of the Mind's Eye ability.
He found that Wave seemed like a fusion of Haki, possessing both the perception of Observation Haki and the power of Armed Haki and Conqueror's Haki, yet even more powerful.
"On the Arad continent, there is a group of swordsmen who abandon their eyes and five senses to perceive Wave."
The Mind's Eye Elixir landed on the counter, and Fang Yi said, "These swordsmen do not pursue extreme swordsmanship; instead, they begin by perceiving airflow, gradually abandoning the existence of their five senses, excavating and awakening the Mind's Eye buried deep within their bodies, and mastering the power of Wave Imprints."
Upon hearing this,
Shanks had a familiar feeling and understood why this destiny item would appear.
It perfectly matched his current state.
Although he possessed swordsmanship that could rival Hawkeye's, he was not a swordsman who pursued swordsmanship to the extreme like Hawkeye.
Instead, he maximized Haki, with swordsmanship serving as an auxiliary for Haki entanglement.
He was not a pure swordsman; the sword, like Haki or Devil Fruit, was a means to pursue power.
Mind's Eye and Wave were also means to become stronger!
They were perfect game abilities that could enhance Haki swordsmanship.
Buy!
Fang Yi smiled and handed the Mind's Eye Elixir to Shanks, saying, "Honestly, I really like straightforward players like you."
Players who don't hesitate to buy goods will likely be among the most enthusiastic when the shelves refresh.
Gripping the glass bottle, he drank all the golden liquid inside.
Shanks licked his lips, feeling no signs of the Mind's Eye awakening.
He said, wincing, "Two thousand reward points, just to quench my thirst?"
Fang Yi smiled and replied, "Becoming a powerful swordsman who controls the power of Wave is not that easy. The Mind's Eye Elixir is only an auxiliary item; the final awakening probability still depends on the player's own compatibility with their profession."
"Good! In the Pirate World, no one understands Ashura better than Red-Haired Shanks!"
Shanks, not believing in bad luck, purchased the Mind's Eye Elixir again.
Still failed.
Again… failed!
Again… failed!
…
After spending a full twenty thousand reward points, Shanks felt his stomach swell from drinking so much, yet he still hadn't awakened his Mind's Eye.
"Mr. Fang Yi, is the Mind's Eye Elixir expired?"
"Fair dealings, guaranteed safety and authenticity."
Fang Yi looked at the continuously incoming reward points and said with a smile, "Furthermore, even if the Mind's Eye Elixir doesn't successfully awaken the power of the Mind's Eye, it can still enhance your perception of Wave."
"As long as you keep accumulating, the awakening probability will get higher and higher!"
Upon hearing this, Shanks closed his eyes tightly.
Indeed, due to continuously drinking the Mind's Eye potion, he could already perceive faint airflow fluctuations.
Wait a minute…
Since Ashura's Mind's Eye power is awakened by discarding the five senses, would keeping his eyes open reduce the probability?
Thinking of this,
Shanks quickly tore off his sleeve and used a strip of cloth to blindfold himself.
Then he exchanged for the Mind's Eye potion, tilted his head back, and drank it, calming his anxious emotions, and carefully perceiving the fluctuations of the airflow.
Hum.
With his eyes tightly closed, in the absolute darkness of his vision,
The perceived power of Wave suddenly trembled, and a crack abruptly opened, tearing through the dark vision.
An eyeball covered the darkness, its pupil rotating, and countless scenes and images appeared, completely surpassing the world perceived by flesh-and-blood eyes and Observation Haki.
Mind's Eye!
An eye that can observe the Wave World and perceive all things with the mind.
"Phew!"
Shanks opened his eyes. The real world and the Wave World collided, and the newly awakened Mind's Eye immediately shut down.
But the gathered power of Wave did not disappear.
"So that's how it is; the vision of the real world interferes with Ashura's perception of the Wave World."
Shanks looked at the Game Merchant with a resentful gaze,
His expression seemed to say,
Why didn't you tell me such important information? You made me waste all that money!
