In the world of One Piece, Roy looked at the messages in the group, feeling both shaken and expectant.
The power of this chat group was simply beyond his imagination.
From what he could tell so far, this chat group seemed to greatly benefit all of them, these powerful individuals from different worlds.
Even for Roy, a Marine Admiral, the mysterious powers of the Naruto world—such as chakra, the Sharingan, and the Rinnegan—were things he found highly covetable.
"Exchange, huh..." Roy rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
As a Marine Admiral, he possessed powerful resources like the Six Styles, the three colors of Haki, a Devil Fruit, and a renowned sword.
However, in this chat group, what he cared about more was whether other members could offer items or skills of equivalent or even greater value in exchange.
It now seemed that to gain real benefits in this chat group, equivalent exchange was necessary.
And equivalence didn't just refer to material value, but also the intangible value of skills, knowledge, and experience.
Meanwhile, the other group members were also racking their brains over what they could offer in exchange.
They each contacted the virtual administrator one by one, listing their intentions and conditions.
And their target, without exception, was fixed on the big shot of the group—Kizaru.
In the world of Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke's gaze flickered uncertainly.
He pondered the ninjutsu he possessed: "What I can offer, naturally, is only ninjutsu. The Great Fireball Technique, the Manipulated Shuriken Technique... though these techniques are powerful, I don't know if someone like Roy, with power like that of a god or demon, would find them worthy."
Sasuke felt a lack of confidence, knowing that his own strength was probably but a drop in the ocean compared to Roy.
Yet he also understood that this was a rare opportunity, a chance to come into contact with far greater power.
So, steeling himself, he decided to list his ninjutsu and attempt an exchange with Roy.
[I would like to apply for a trade.]
After sending this message, Sasuke took a deep breath and, using the chat group's special functions, transmitted the ninjutsu he had carefully selected—the Great Fireball Technique and a few other skills he deemed valuable—to the virtual administrator.
[Received file. Conducting value assessment. Please select your trading partner.]
The virtual administrator's emotionless voice echoed in Sasuke's mind, putting him somewhat at ease.
Without a moment's hesitation, Sasuke selected Roy as his trading partner.
[Now establishing trading platform.]
Immediately after, a gold coin icon shimmering with a strange light flickered on the chat group interface, catching Roy's attention.
Roy curiously clicked on the icon, and a brand-new trading interface appeared before him.
[Group member Uchiha Sasuke has applied for a trade. Accept trade?]
Looking at this message, a mix of curiosity and anticipation rose in Roy's heart.
He quickly clicked the "Accept" button, and a brilliant light swirled down, enveloping his entire consciousness.
When the light faded, Roy was surprised to find himself in a mysterious, vast space, seemingly boundless, filled with swirling stars and points of light.
Meanwhile, from a vortex on the other side, Uchiha Sasuke's figure slowly materialized.
The two gazed at each other across the void; although their bodies didn't physically touch, a subtle connection made them feel as if they were in the same world.
[Assessment complete: The ninjutsu provided by group member Uchiha Sasuke has a value of 50 points.]
A mechanical, dispassionate voice echoed in the space—the chat group's virtual administrator conducting the value assessment.
Then, the administrator added: [Both parties may negotiate an exchange. The total value must be comparable. Please note: once a transaction is completed, it cannot be reversed.]
Seeing that the ninjutsu he had carefully selected and submitted were valued at only this much, a flash of undisguised disappointment crossed Uchiha Sasuke's face.
He had originally thought these techniques could at least be exchanged for something more substantial, but reality had dealt him a considerable blow.
However, Sasuke didn't let this discourage him.
He quickly adjusted his mindset, tested his consciousness within this virtual space, and found he could freely converse with Roy.
So, gathering his courage, he made his request to Roy.
[Mr. Kizaru, I truly need power. Whatever I have, you can take it. As long as it can help me defeat that man, I'll agree to any condition.]
Sasuke's words were filled with resolve; only by obtaining greater power could he achieve his revenge.
Roy looked at Sasuke, inwardly nodding with approval.
Sasuke at this point hadn't yet experienced his later descent into darkness. Although somewhat extreme in personality, given the tragic slaughter of his entire clan, maintaining such composure and rationality was already quite remarkable.
"I'd really like to get my hands on your Sharingan, though..." Roy silently mused, but he also knew such a demand was clearly unrealistic.
The Sharingan was Sasuke's family inheritance and his personal symbol; how could he easily give it to someone else?
Thus, Roy spoke up: [So, Sasuke-kun, what exactly are you looking for?]
Sasuke answered without a moment's hesitation, his tone resolute: [Power as great as yours.]
Roy smiled slightly at this, but then his tone turned serious: [Sasuke-kun, power isn't achieved overnight. Also, according to our chat group's principle of equivalent exchange, do you have something of equivalent value to offer?]
Sasuke's expression darkened again. He was keenly aware that his own strength was vastly inferior to Roy's and understood that to obtain such immense power, he must pay a commensurate price.
Fortunately, Roy was equally intensely curious about the Naruto world. Though the value of a single ninjutsu might seem negligible within this exchange system, in Roy's eyes, the unique power from another system held immeasurable potential.
[Tell you what, Sasuke-kun.] Roy spoke slowly, a hint of anticipation in his tone, [How about we try an exchange involving the method to cultivate that unique energy within you?]
[I am truly grateful, Mr. Kizaru!] Uchiha Sasuke's voice brimmed with barely contained excitement.
This exchange could potentially bring him an unprecedented power boost, a crucial stepping stone on his path to revenge.
Roy smiled slightly, transforming his profound understanding and training methods for Armament Haki into information that Sasuke could receive in a special way, then slowly transmitted it. This information not only included the basic concepts and key points of Armament Haki training but also incorporated Roy's personal insights and combat experience—truly a generous offering.
On the other side, Sasuke responded to Roy's proposal without hesitation. He took a deep breath, focused his mind, and transmitted his understanding of chakra, its refinement, and other training methods.
