Chapter 19 PUA
Heavenly gold...
This is an important means for world governments to exploit the economy and maintain their rule.
As far as Kuroro knows, many non-member states have fallen into extreme poverty due to the World Government's suppression because they cannot afford the heavy "Heavenly Gold," and some have even perished as a result.
In Chrollo's memory, only Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family had ever kidnapped the Celestial Gold in the original work, and used it to coerce the World Government into granting them the title of "Shichibukai".
But what is Doflamingo's identity?
Not only is he the secret king of Dressrosa, but he also has a Celestial Dragon background and collaborates with Kaido and Big Mom on multiple fronts. His arms business spans the world, and he has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, making him a top-tier second-generation heir. That's why he has the leverage to negotiate.
Otherwise, anyone who dared to touch a Celestial Dragon's Celestial Gold would have been wiped out long ago, not even a speck of dust would be left!
"What, are you scared?" Bonnie noticed the thoughtful look in Kuroro's eyes.
"Afraid?"
Kuroro raised an eyebrow slightly, and a confident smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"We came here to plunder everything."
Kuroro opened his arms.
"Treasure, prestige, status, wealth..."
"This is precisely the reason for the Phantom Troupe's existence."
Kuroro couldn't help but smile.
He speculated that in the world of One Piece, anything related to the Celestial Dragons would garner unparalleled prestige.
Stealing the Celestial Gold, which the Celestial Dragons value most, is a huge slap in the face to the World Government. How much prestige can one gain from this?
This reputation will be converted into a key for Kuroro to unlock the points shop.
The items in the points mall will become nutrients for the spiders, and may even directly increase their strength!
"What a wonderful opportunity!"
"Seize what's in the World Government's pocket and give them a resounding slap in the face, right where they value most!"
"Can I have something to eat now?" Bonnie asked expectantly.
With a wave of his hand, Kuroro caused countless foods to reappear on the ground.
Bonnie's eyes immediately lit up. First, she launched a monstrous thrust, then devoured the food with gusto, tumbling and crawling to the food and munching away.
Kuroro gave her a cryptic look, gazing at her meaningfully, and said softly:
"So this is your true purpose, Bonnie."
By using earth-shattering events, they instigated conflict with the world government.
To my father, Bartholomew the Great Bear, who is far away in the heavens, I announce your existence...
Bonnie pretended not to hear and kept stuffing food into her mouth, muttering to herself as she did so:
"Delicious...it's so delicious!"
Kuroro's face immediately softened, and he slowly crouched down, his handsome features exuding immense approachability.
He gently patted Bonnie's head.
"It's okay, you did a great job. Eat slowly, there's more if you're still hungry~"
Bonnie nodded sweetly.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
"By the way, I still don't know what your ability is~ Can you show me?"
"This is the bond between us in the Phantom Troupe. There are no secrets among the members' abilities," Kuroro asked gently.
Bonnie, engrossed in her meal, paid little attention.
There are no secrets between Devil Fruit users; they will find out about each other's abilities sooner or later.
So she nodded, her mouth full of food, and mumbled:
"My Devil Fruit ability is: Paramecia-type Year-Year Fruit."
"It's a Devil Fruit that allows me to freely manipulate age; I can make people older or younger by touching them with my hands."
As she spoke, Bonnie reached out a hand to touch the swordsman beside her.
With a soft "poof," accompanied by a flash of pink light,
The swordsman's clothes collapsed in a pile, and from beneath them came a childish voice: "How amazing!"
The young swordsman poked his head and limbs out from the pile of clothes, looking at his hands in amazement.
"I've become a little kid again~"
"Hey~ this is my ability," Bonnie gestured, then placed her hand back on the young swordsman.
The young swordsman has been restored to a young swordsman.
"Did you understand?" Bonnie asked casually.
Kuroro watched this scene with surprise, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he nodded.
"I completely understand it now!"
The next second, with a flash of pink light, and a soft "poof,"
Bonnie felt her bottom suddenly lift off the ground, then land with a thud on her backside.
Her clothes, also large and covering her body, were piled on the ground.
"What happened?!"
A super cute pink-haired little girl with red lips popped out from the pile of clothes...it was Bonnie.
"Have I returned to my original appearance?"
"How...is this possible?!"
Bonnie stared in astonishment at her hands.
She was originally eight years old. She usually appeared as a mature woman by using the Age Fruit to increase her age and disguise herself. But this loli outfit is her true appearance.
After a moment of stunned silence, Bonney instantly snapped out of it and glared angrily at Kuroro.
"What did you do?!?"
Kuroro's lips curled into a smile, a hint of smugness and mockery in his expression.
"Don't panic. You introduced me to your abilities, and in exchange, I'm introducing you to mine, as a bond between us~"
"Isn't your ability teleportation?" Bonnie, now a loli, instantly lost all sense of security because she could no longer feel the connection between herself and the Year-Year Fruit!
In other words... she became... a powerless person!
But how is that possible?
"What exactly did you do?!" she demanded, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Instant teleportation is just one of my many abilities..." Kuroro said with a smile.
"Haven't you already seen my true abilities...?"
"My true ability is... to steal."
[Host has been detected stealing the Fruit of Year After Year]
[Paranoia-type - Year Fruit]
[A Devil Fruit that allows the user to freely manipulate age. It can age or age people with a touch, and can also transform the user into a child or an old person at will. It can also corrupt objects. At its most extreme, it can...distort the future.]
[Rating: Rarity: A / Potential: S / Usefulness: S]
[Commentary: No one can resist the ravages of time, whether it's shrinking or aging. Even someone as strong as Whitebeard will eventually fall on the battlefield in his old age. We must have reverence for time.]
[Overall Rating: S-level, Host gains 16 free attribute points]
Kuroro couldn't help but smile. The Year-Year Fruit was indeed powerful, granting him 16 attribute points.
I've never booked such a large account before!
He allocated 4 points to Strength, 8 points to Agility, and the last 4 points to Stamina, resulting in the following attribute panel:
Name: Kuroro
[Attributes: Strength: 60 (B+) / Agility: 70 (A) / Intelligence: 73 (A) / Stamina: 63 (B+)]

Kuroro stroked his chin and analyzed:
"The gas volume has reached 42, which has surpassed the level of Youpi."
"That's far from enough..."
[Detected that the host has successfully recruited "Big Eater" Jewelry Bonney into the Phantom Troupe, triggering the plundering ability.]
[Reputation Points Gained: 12000]
[Distance until the Points Mall opens: 20000/100000]
"Not bad harvest~" Kuroro said with a happy expression.
"Give me back my abilities!!"
Loli Bonney stretched out her short arms and legs and punched and kicked Kuroro.
Kuroro smiled and touched her forehead.
With a soft pop, a flash of pink light appeared, and the little girl Bonnie transformed back into the mature Bonnie.
"You bastard—"
Bonnie ate three large bowls of snail rice noodles with tears in her eyes, cursing as she ate:
"You terrifying bastard, you bad guy, you bad guy, you bad guy—"
Bonney, having shed her disguise in front of Chrollo, continued to feast.
However, a sense of awe for the man before her was quietly planted in her heart.
"........."
"I still think you looked cuter just now~" Kuroro couldn't help but comment.
Kuroro got up and walked outside.
He had taken care of everything and was in a good mood.
He was all too familiar with the process of using both kindness and severity to instill fear in Bonnie about his power!
Little brat~
With my extensive experience in PUA, I can't possibly control an eight-year-old girl like you!
"Where do we go next?" the swordsman asked curiously from the side.
"We turned the boat around and went back. There was another package waiting for us to collect."
On the other hand, seeing Kuroro walk away, Bonnie couldn't help but lift her head from the pile of food and gaze at his back from afar, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
He possesses the ability to see and hear colors, and has many other abilities.
They can also steal the other party's abilities through unknown means.
People like that are terrifying!
How far will the person before her grow?
It's simply unbelievable...
She suddenly didn't want to go to sea anymore...
