Chapter 65: Sacrificing Boss Kizaru's Three-Year Career Luck! Increasingly Ridiculous [Fishing] Harvest!

Amidst the dark ruins.
A furious Verger skipped all pleasantries and directly unleashed a verbal barrage at Kizaru.
Slippery personality, wretched demeanor, unsightly appearance, and... thirty-eight derogatory adjectives omitted here.
Damped wage thief!
Accursed Revolutionary Army undercover!
The Second Uncle of Straw Hat Luffy who keeps letting ships escape!
After thoroughly venting his frustration inwardly, Verger finally recovered from the heavy blow he had just sustained.
Instead of immediately scrambling out of the ruins, he summoned the light screen.
Although he hadn't obtained Kizaru's Victory Bait, he had at least gone through quite a battle.
Basking in the golden radiance of a Marine Admiral might just hook something good!
Much like the previous [Hokuto Steel-Cracking Bar].
Wasn't it... also... quite... nice... right...?

This time, Verger didn't use the lowest-tier F-grade bait to test the waters; instead, he directly pulled out the D-grade bait he had just acquired by slaying the guard.
"Goddess of Fortune preserve me! For this fishing session, I am sacrificing three years of Kizaru's career luck!"
Verger muttered a silent prayer and immediately initiated the fishing process.

[Fishing in progress...]
[Harvest type for this fishing session: Item]
[D-grade Item: S-Life Cancer]
[Item Origin: Rance Series]
[Item Description: Stamina recovery consumable]
[Item Effect: For entities with an overall rating of D-grade and below, consumption restores all stamina; for entities with an overall rating of C-grade, consumption restores one-third of stamina; no effect on entities of B-grade and above. Note: Cannot be used during combat]
[Item Evaluation: Little blue pill]

"What the hell! What kind of perverted item is this?!"
Verger's forehead was covered in black lines.
"The fishing conditions on the Sabaody Archipelago are truly improper! This world is doomed!"

However, after perusing the specific effects of the [S-Life Cancer].
Little Ocherchilov's expression suddenly shifted.
"This pill is fantastic!"
Verger's current overall rating was C-grade. Even though he couldn't gain the full stamina recovery effect of the [S-Life Cancer], he would still instantly recover a little under half of his stamina.
"This is basically a weakened version of a Senzu Bean!"
Verger immediately tucked the little blue pill safely against his chest, placing it right next to the mysterious card of the [Busty Maid].
Hmm...
Verger shrank his neck slightly.

He somehow felt that something was rather strange.
"Sacrificing Boss Kizaru's career luck yielded exceptionally stellar results!"
Verger fished out another piece of bait once more, this time a C-grade bait.
Encouraged by the effects of the [S-Life Cancer], Verger didn't hesitate and cast the C-grade bait straight into the dimensional sea.

[Fishing in progress...]
[Harvest type for this fishing session: Ability Trait]
[C-grade Ability Trait: Magic Reflection]
[Ability Origin: How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord]
[Trait Description: One-time special ability]
[Trait Effect: When another entity uses slave magic on you, or employs special methods with mental enslavement effects, this ability will automatically trigger, bouncing the enslavement effect back onto the user. Note: Reflection cap is C++]
[Trait Evaluation: Are you my Master?]

"Uh... um..."
Staring at the light screen messages, Verger opened his mouth, unsure of how to evaluate this second fished-up ability trait.
[Magic Reflection]...
To say it's useful, it does indeed seem to have some utility;
Yet upon closer inspection, he couldn't think of a single scenario where it could actually be applied.
"A chicken-rib ability—flavorless to eat, yet a pity to discard... No! Even if this thing were discarded, it wouldn't be a pity at all!"
Verger retrieved his final piece of C-grade bait, which had been contributed by the chief guard before his defeat.
"From the looks of it, all the worlds behind the fishing spots on the Sabaody Archipelago are more or less related to [Slavery]!
"《Life With a Slave》, 《Appraisal Guide》, 《Rance》 series, 《How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord》...
"Slavery is slavery, I suppose! Slave worlds can still drop good things!
"Goddess of Fortune above, please grant a good haul with this final C-grade bait!
"This time, I am willing to sacrifice Boss Kizaru's glasses!
"One day, I will smash them to pieces with my own hands!"

[Fishing in progress...]
[Harvest type for this fishing session: Item]
[C-grade Item: S&M Glasses]
[Item Description: Mental-type prop]
[Item Effect: 1. Ornament; 2. When wearing the glasses, hide mental stats to gain a 1-point D-grade bonus]

After scanning through these lines of text.
Verger maintained a blank expression.
He simply wanted to wash his eyes out.
If not for the fact that these glasses were worth a C-grade bait, he would have crushed them on the spot!

"Slaves! Male slaves! Male slaves and more male slaves!"
Verger said, gnashing his teeth.
"Sabaody Archipelago really knows how to play!"
Three fishing sessions had completely depleted Verger's bait reserves.
He now had only the B-grade bait left, which he had previously pilfered from the Baron of the Stomach.
Considering the increasingly disappointing fishing quality,
coupled with the bizarre nature of the Sabaody Archipelago,
Verger forcibly suppressed the urge to continue fishing with the B-grade bait.
Bait shouldn't be wasted like that!
Heaven only knows what kind of bizarre items from some eccentric world he might fish up next time!
Verger shoved the [S&M Glasses] into his pocket and began digging through the piles of architectural rubble stacked on top of him.
A few minutes later.
A disheveled Verger crawled out from the ruins of the human auction house.
He had no intention of returning to Grove 44 right now.
Attacking royalty and holding a king hostage—
the first half of Verger's undercover pirate operation had gone exceptionally smoothly.
According to the plan formulated by Vice Admiral Tsuru, upon concluding his battle with Kizaru, Verger should immediately seek an escape route and evacuate the Sabaody Archipelago!
HQ had arranged a ship in advance, located at Grove 35.
Verger dusted off his clothes and glanced around.
The grove he was currently in was Grove 13; to reach Grove 35, he still had to cross a considerable distance. (Does anyone have a map of the Sabaody Archipelago numbered districts?)
His top priority right now was to determine his exact location!
However, having just endured a violent impact, the surrounding environment was a chaotic mess, making it impossible to discern directions.
Verger deployed [Beast Breathing - Spatial Perception], barely managed to locate a relatively intact building nearby, and sprinted swiftly toward it.
"Vice Admiral Tsuru's plan only covers up to the Sabaody Archipelago; instructions for actions after boarding the ship will be given separately."
As he hurried along, Verger contemplated his future plans.
"My previous actions are more than enough for the World Government to issue a bounty; becoming a pirate is unavoidable.
"What needs to be considered now is where the ship arranged by Vice Admiral Tsuru actually leads!"
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Verger arrived in the vicinity of the intact cluster of buildings he had sensed earlier.
He raised his head and abruptly caught sight of a wooden sign.
A very familiar shop name.
Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
