73: Trades
[Haibara Ai]: I already know that! You big dumb dog!
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: …Not going to argue with a poison-tongued girl.
[Tony Stark]:
Hey, folks, don't rush to exchange just yet! The genius Stark also has plenty of great stuff to offer!
Tony Stark uploads "Stark Industries Exchangeable Goods List".
If Orochimaru's list represented the ninja world's specialties, then Tony's list was a full-fledged military arsenal.
From state-of-the-art fighter jets, tanks, and artillery to rifles, landmines, and rocket launchers—if it belonged on a battlefield, it was on the list.
Due to Kizaru's interference—and the fact that Dr. Yinsen was still alive—this world's Tony Stark never had his "I am Iron Man" revelation and never gave up arms dealing.
Instead, he was still immensely proud of Stark Industries' weapons, and the descriptions in his list were practically dripping with arrogance.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Damn, even Iron Man suits are up for exchange? But 3,000 DCs… That'll take forever to save up…
[Haibara Ai]: Hello, police? Yes, I'd like to report an arms-dealing lolicon!
[Kobayashi]: That's terrifying… I can't believe Tony-san is actually a weapons dealer.
[Fubuki]: I'll exchange for a few rocket launchers first—to strengthen the Fubuki Group…
@Orochimaru, would you be interested in buying monster corpses?
[Orochimaru]: If they're strong or interesting, then yes.
[Kizaru]: Hmmm… You guys sure made your lists fast… I still need to think about what's worth selling.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: No need to rush, everyone! Wait for the big shots to finalize their lists, then pick what suits you best.
[Tony Stark]:
Haha, I'll expand my list later…
@Kizaru, my dear friend, how about ordering an advanced battleship?
[Kizaru]:
Maybe when I become Fleet Admiral
[Tony Stark]:
OK! You own shares in Stark Industries, so don't forget to support your own people when the time comes!
[Esdeath]:
Anyone interested in slaves?
I have the finest northern barbarians—great for labor or gladiator training.
[Kobayashi]:
Whoa! Esdeath-san, that's way too scary…
[Haibara Ai]:
Now that's a blatant villain statement…
[Fubuki]:
A truly lawless individual…
[Orochimaru]:
High-quality slaves, huh? If you have physically strong ones, reserve a batch for me.
I'm opening new research projects and need test subjects.
[Kizaru]:
Hmm… Let's leave it here for now. I'll add more items later.
Kizaru uploads "Exchangeable Goods List".
Too lazy to do it himself, he leaves the entire task to Nami, only changing the buyers from chat group members to world government nobles.
Nami, who had been pretending to sleep, perks up immediately at the mention of money!
Excited, she starts filling out the form, and before long, she hands Kizaru a fully packed exchange list.
After converting Berries to Dimensional Coins, Kizaru uploads the list to the group's shared space.
Seeing the notification pop up, Fubuki from One Punch Man is the first to download it.
Even though she's constantly arguing with that random passerby, she has to admit—he's actually useful.
That big-mouthed idiot not only recognizes everyone in the chat, but he also casually leaks important info.
"Devil Fruits!"
The moment she opens the list, Fubuki's full attention is locked onto the first item.
Random Zoan-Type Devil Fruit – 1,000 DCs
Enhances physical abilities and grants an animal transformation ability.
Limited to one per person.
1,000 DCs. If she had nothing to sell and relied only on the monthly allowance, it would take at least ten months to afford one.
Even so, Fubuki finds the price insanely cheap—especially after watching that random passerby transform into a golden-furred giant ape, his combat strength skyrocketing tenfold.
Before eating the Devil Fruit, he was just a B-Class hero level, but after becoming an ability user, he instantly ranked among the top A-Class heroes.
In her world, this kind of power would drive people insane.
If all of Fubuki Group had a Devil Fruit, they could finally break free from their "B-Class king" status.
Even if they couldn't get one per person, just having one or two more A-Class heroes would be a huge boost.
Fubuki's heart starts racing, but 1,000 DCs is still out of reach.
"Damn it! Even if I sell my bags and car, it's still not enough…"
After calculating her total assets, Fubuki realized that even at Tony Stark's base exchange rate—where 1 DC = $10,000 in his Marvel world—the entire Fubuki Group's wealth didn't even reach 500 DCs.
And as for Kizaru's base price… she couldn't even trade herself for 100kg of gold.
Like Fubuki, most group members immediately downloaded Kizaru's list.
Even Zhang Sanfeng, who rarely showed up, and Jotaro Kujo, who barely spoke, both downloaded a copy.
The list included Devil Fruits, legendary swords, Den Den Mushi, Skypiean dials, Vivre Cards, Rokushiki techniques, and countless rare creatures.
More importantly, Kizaru had drastically reduced the prices for most items—though with strict quantity limits, making it clear this was a special perk for group members.
[Tony Stark]:
Wow! Are the dinosaurs on the list real? Like the kind from Jurassic Park that scream and eat people?
[Kizaru]:
They should be. My subordinates found them on an island called Little Garden.
[Tony Stark]:
That's amazing! I'll take one pair of each—no, two pairs! I'm building a real-life Jurassic Park!
With limitless wealth, Tony immediately started placing orders.
After all, he and Kizaru co-owned the rights to issue Dimensional Coins—as long as they kept its base value stable, they could print as much as they wanted.
In fact, the more they spent, the better—expanding the DC economy meant they could trade even larger quantities of goods.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Holy crap… Being rich is awesome. I just checked—a single T-Rex costs so much. That means the total cost is…
[Haibara Ai]: 67,300 DCs.
And you're so slow at basic math. No wonder you're a big dumb dog.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Lies! You poison-tongued girl, don't push it—I was just lazy!
[Haibara Ai]:
Oh? Then should I give you a warm-up problem?
How about a simple integral inequality?
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]:
Hah! Boring! Even if you were a sentient calculator, you still wouldn't beat me in a fight!
[Fubuki]:
You'll have to get through me first if you want to bully Ai-chan!
[Kobayashi]:
Ahem. Passerby-san, Haibara-chan is just a kid—you should let her win~
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]:
Damn it! That poison-tongued brat teamed up against me!
[Tony Stark]:
Hey, ladies—can you pause the roast session for a second?
Building Jurassic Park is Stark's childhood dream!
[Kizaru]:
That's fine.
The dinosaurs are just prey for giants on Little Garden anyway, but…
Catching that many will take some time.
[Tony Stark]:
Wait… Giants?!
Dear friend, are giants for sale too?
I wouldn't mind hiring a couple as bodyguards!
[Kizaru]: Unfortunately, no.
The righteous Navy doesn't deal in the slave trade.
And giants can't travel between worlds like Feathered Serpents can.
[Tony Stark]:
Ah… That's a shame.
No rush on the dinosaurs—I'll need time to build the park first.
Wouldn't want my little cuties running wild.
[Tony Stark]:
Seriously—what could be cooler than designing my own Jurassic Park?!
[Esdeath]:
You like big beasts?
I can sell you some Danger Beasts.
Not sure about Super Danger Beasts, but Special-Grade and Level-One ones are easy to catch.
[Tony Stark]:
Danger Beasts?
Are they like monsters?
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Pretty much.
I highly suggest not buying them.
Compared to Special-Grade and Super Danger Beasts, dinosaurs are basically snacks.
[Esdeath]: Pfft. I was hunting Level-One Danger Beasts alone when I was seven.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Ahem.
That's you, Queen—most people have weak little arms and legs.
They really shouldn't mess with Danger Beasts…
[Esdeath]: Hmph! But Northern Fortress only has slaves and Danger Beasts to trade.
And Orochimaru is the only one willing to buy slaves…
I need Dimensional Coins!
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Why not sell Imperial Arms?
Most of them are pretty powerful, except a few duds.
[Esdeath]:
Where am I supposed to find extra Imperial Arms?!
All the ones I have already belong to their users—I can't just take them back!
[Kizaru]:
Uh… If you really need DCs, I'll just give you some.
I did just sell Tony a batch of dinosaurs.
You can have all the DCs from that deal.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Damn!
Kizaru-senpai, do you need a leg hair accessory?
Please consider me!
[Esdeath]:
Thank you, Master~
[Kizaru]:
Cough.
You're welcome.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]:Ew. Couples who flex get wrecked.
[Kizaru]:
…?
[Esdeath]:
I'll kill you.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Waaaah! Big bosses, it was just a joke…!
[Zhang Sanfeng]:
Passerby, friends—
Next month marks my 100th birthday.
If you're free, why not stop by for a drink?
[Kobayashi]: Wow! Grandpa, you're already 100?!
[Haibara Ai]:
Idiot. He's 99, not 100.
Zhang Sanfeng was a famous Taoist priest in ancient times—there are even legends about him achieving immortality.
[Kobayashi]:
Still, that's amazing!
I've never met a 99-year-old before!
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]:
I'M FREE! ABSOLUTELY FREE! Master Zhang, save me a spot—I'll definitely be there for your birthday!
[Kobayashi]:
Me too! I wanna celebrate Grandpa's birthday!
[Haibara Ai]:
Count me in as well.
I've got nothing better to do.
[Fubuki]:
If Ai-chan's going, then so am I!
[Tony Stark]:
Oh, a 99th birthday banquet?
Sounds fantastic!
How could Stark miss such a grand occasion…
[Kizaru]:
Hmm? If so many people are coming,
why don't we all go celebrate together?
Kizaru stroked his chin as an idea formed in his mind.
He had traveled across dimensions, encountering countless familiar faces.
But an in-person gathering with people from different worlds? Now that sounded interesting.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Brilliant idea, Kizaru-senpai!
Let's organize it properly—our first-ever Dimensional Chat Group meetup!
[Haibara Ai]:
But with so many people traveling together,
is it safe? Grandpa's world doesn't have dinosaurs or Danger Beasts, right?
[Fubuki]:
Don't worry, Ai-chan.
I'll protect you!
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: What's there to fear?
With Kizaru, Esdeath, and Orochimaru around,
even Godzilla would think twice before picking a fight.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Wait a sec…
99th birthday… Master Zhang…
This is the Heavenly Sword & Dragon Saber world, isn't it?!
[Zhang Sanfeng]: Hmm… This old Taoist isn't sure.
But there are legends about the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: Ah, then this must be that world.
Master Zhang, do you have a disciple named Zhang Cuishan?
[Zhang Sanfeng]:
Indeed. But my wayward disciple has been missing for years. Little friend…
Do you know his whereabouts?
In the Heavenly Sword & Dragon Saber world, Zhang Sanfeng, who had been meditating, abruptly stood up.
Among his seven disciples, Zhang Cuishan had the greatest potential—a true scholar and warrior.
He had even considered Cuishan as his successor.
But then Cuishan vanished without a trace.
For ten years, no news.
Likely dead.
[Random Passerby Who Wants to Hug Luo Feng's Thigh]: I do know…
But it's not exactly good news…
