Chapter 17: I buy it!

  Resurrection...

  Is this really possible?

  Zoro's consciousness couldn't help but return to that night again.

  It was a dark and windy night, and under the gaze of the full moon, the boy and the girl made a lifelong agreement.

  It was also on the first day that Kuina's time stayed there forever.

  If Kuina can really be resurrected...

  Zoro's heart suddenly shook.

  Even if there is only a glimmer of possibility, he must try it once.

  A dimensional merchant from another world?

  This world is really getting more and more interesting!

  trade?

  A businessman from another world wouldn't want a vulgar thing like Bailey, right?

  Thinking about the process of dealing with the devil in the story, it involves giving away one's soul, signing a contract, or sacrificing a part of the body for the devil to parasitize... 

He said in a loud voice with great righteousness. 

"If you really can resurrect my best friend, Whether it's my soul or my body, you can take them all!"

  Boom!

  Zoro knocked his head to the ground.

  For the sake of his best friend, even as proud as he is, he can calmly lower his head.

  For a moment, the scene suddenly became quiet.

  The few people left in the restaurant didn't even dare to take a breath.

  Leo was stunned for a moment by Zoro's behavior, and then he laughed loudly.

  "Pfft, hahahaha, I think you misunderstood, Zoro."

  He used his super power to lift Zoro back to his chair before he continued.

  "Your body and soul are not valuable to me..."

  "What I want is very simple, as long as you can pay enough Bailey, or it is a valuable item ..."

  As he said that, Leo suddenly glanced at the sword in Zoro's hand.

  "Whether it's a Devil Fruit or a famous sword or weapon, you can exchange it for points of equal value with me." 

"The exchange ratio is 500,000 Baileys = 1 point."

  Bang!

  Leo snapped his fingers, and a tablet Rotom suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. On it was a colorful and beautiful feather picture.

  On the side of the picture, there is a line of small words introducing.

  [Feather of the Phoenix King(Ho-Oh)]

  [Effect: A magical prop with resurrection power that can reshape the body for the soul of the dead].

  [Price: 5,000 points]

  "500,000 Baileys equals 1 point? Baileys are also used in other worlds?"

  Zoro was confused at first. , and then his heart suddenly trembled.

  "5,000 points, that's 2.5 billion Baileys!?"

  2.5 billion Baileys, this was a huge amount of money that he couldn't even imagine.

  But it is precisely such a huge amount of money that gives Zoro a chance of luck...

  If there is really the ability to resurrect people in the world, it will only be more exaggerated than this price.

  "Yes, if converted into the currency of this world, it is 2.5 billion beli."

  Seeing Zoro's heartbeat, Leo continued to add.

  "But there is one thing I want to say up front, the power of the Phoenix King's Feather only works if the soul of the dead still exists."

  "If the soul of the person you want to resurrect has already returned to the underworld, you will need to pay a large additional fee. The specific amount will be judged based on the actual situation." 

"If the soul of the person you want to resurrect has unfortunately dissipated, even I won't be able to revive it."

  "This..."Knowing that there was still a risk of failure, Zoro was stunned for a moment again.

  But then he figured it out...

  It is better to have little hope than no hope at all!

  "Two and a half billion beli..."

  Zoro felt his whole body filled with fighting spirit.

  "Set a small goal first! Earn 100 million Baileys!!!"

  100 million Baileys, that is, 10 pirates with a bounty of 10 million, is not too difficult for him.

  If you calculate it this way, 2.5 billion beli means 250 pirates...

  And it has been so many years since Kuina left. If he wants to recover her soul from the underworld, he doesn't know how many beli he will need. But...the world is so big, and there are so many pirates, there will always be enough!

  Thinking of this, he immediately tightened his grip on his sword and asked Leo.

  "Le..no Sir Leo, if I save enough money, how should I contact you?"

  "Saved enough money huh..." Leo pursed his lips and smiled, " Don't worry about it now."

  He instead asked, "Can you tell me how you plan to collect the money?"

  Zoro said directly."I am a bounty hunter, so of course I will save money by relying on killing pirates."

  "You have to rely on those wanted criminals with a bounty of millions to collect 2.5 billion?"

  Leo said sternly. "With all due respect, when you really collect enough, whether the soul of the person you want to revive still exists or not is a question."

  "The longer time drags on, the slimmer the chance of resurrection..."

  "What!"

  Zoro was at a loss, and the hope he had just raised turned dim again.

  "Then... what should I do?"

  He looked at Leo, praying for an answer.

  Leo looked at him calmly and said calmly:

  "Of course there are ways."

  "Zoro, you have to know that this world is not just a region of the East Blue Sea."

  "In other sea areas or in the Grand Line, there are many pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million, 500 million or 1 billion are not uncommon."

  He used an inspiring tone to induce Zoro.

  "Instead of constantly arresting small bounties in the East Blue Sea, why don't you go to the Grand Line and fight with the heroes of the world?"

  "As far as I know, there is a bounty of 5 billion Beli on the head of Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world."

  "5 billion Beli!?"

  Zoro was shocked, he didn't expect Leo to give him such an answer.

  But after thinking about it, he immediately agreed with Leo's statement.

  Although he is from the East Blue Sea, he has also heard the name of the weakest sea.

  Just like Leo said, instead of wasting time here, why not fight on a broader stage and have fun!

  In that kind of stage, he would be more likely to meet the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye!

  Zoro suddenly laughed.

  "Okay! I have decided!"

  "I want to go to the Grand Line and become the world's number one swordsman and bounty hunter!"

  The weight of his dreams increased again.

  The strong momentum slowly accumulated and took root in Zoro's heart, waiting for the moment when it would bloom in the future.

  Seeing this, Leo just smiled softly.

  "Since you have made a decision, let's talk about the transaction again."

  "Huh?" Zoro shook his head gently, "Let's wait. After I collect enough points for Phoenix King's Feather, let's talk about the transaction."

  "No, no, no, I think you misunderstood." Leo immediately denied him and said. "The items I traded were not just Phoenix King's Feather."

"The sea cannot be conquered by one person's strength."

  "With your personal strength, it is too difficult to gallop in the sea."

  "In that case, how about taking a look at the products I brought from the previous world?"

  Bang!

  Leo snapped his fingers again, crisply and loudly.

  It's no secret that he practiced it secretly for a long time.

  The picture on the tablet Rotom changed instantly.

  The Pokémon battle scenes that Joffrey had seen before were played again.

  Each mysterious and powerful Pokémon, under the command of the trainer, uses a variety of skills to complete gorgeous performances.

  Leo introduced. "This is a magical creature called Pokémon in the Pokémon world. They have powerful strength and various talents and characteristics." 

"Whether it is a combat assistant or a life guide, They are all excellent helpers!"

  "I think you should understand that your power is not enough to reach the level of shaking the world."

  "But if you have a Pokémon who has grown up with you as a partner, I believe you will also grow rapidly."

  Leo's words fell in Zoro's ears, and together with the video on the screen, Zoro's heart suddenly moved.

  The shocking energy beam and the majestic momentum that shot up to the sky with ice and fire made his heart flutter.

  If his goal was only to be the world's greatest swordsman, Zoro might not take Pokémon too seriously.

  But now his main goal has become to make more money!

  With the powerful Pokémon in the video, he can definitely challenge the stronger ones with higher bounties...

  To make money, he doesn't care about whether the battle is fair or not.

  In an instant, he made a decision and looked at Leo resolutely.

  "How much does Pokémon cost? I'll buy it!"

  However, Leo shook his head.

  "I think with your current economic conditions, it will be hard for you to buy a Pokémon you like."

  "To put it simply, you are too poor and don't deserve to buy it."

  "But..."

  Snap!

  Leo snapped his fingers again.

  A cell phone Rotom suddenly flew in front of Zoro.

  Under Zoro's curious eyes, he explained.

  "Although you are still unknown, I believe you will become a big shot in the future." 

"I am very optimistic about you~"

  Leo said like a good brother. Then he patted Zoro on the shoulder and said;

  "This time, let me make an investment in you as a businessman!"

  "Investment?" Zoro was puzzled.

  Leo continued. "The Rotom mobile phone in your hand was originally a gift for VIPs who spent 1 billion beli. The official price is 150 points." 

"It allows you to see more basic information about Pokémon and the intelligent voice navigation function, you can also use it to contact me."

  "Seeing that you and I are destined, I'll rent it to you for the time being at the price of 1 point per day."

  "Then let's exchange the initial rent with the head of the guy at the door."

  Although the system does not have the function of redeeming points with the head of a person for bounty, it can, through the other party's approval, let Leo take the head to the naval base to redeem the bounty, and then seal the deal.

  For Leo, it is a bit more troublesome.

  But it can save a lot of time.

  As a kind-hearted businessman, Leo said that he didn't mind at all~

  After some explanation, Zoro finally understood how to use a Rotom mobile phone.

  Looking at Zoro's novel expression, Leo smiled slightly.

  "Then, the initial deal has been completed, and I have to leave here to find the next person!"

  "Then, I'll see you in 16 days."

  16 days, That is when the cell phone Rotom lease expires.

  Snapped!

  With a snap of fingers, Leo and Eevee disappeared in an instant.

  Zoro was left alone, holding the Rotom cell phone, sitting alone on the bar, in a daze, as if he was dreaming.

  "Pokémon..."

  He murmured, as if opening the door to a new world.
