Chapter 196 - Chapter 195: The Hollow-Hollow Fruit and the New Manga: Fate/Zero

[Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-level reward from the Adventure King world: the "Hollow-Hollow Fruit."]

Looking at the Devil Fruit that appeared in his hand,

Su Han's eyes were filled with surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be this one."

The fruit was pale gray,

similar to the color of a soul.

Although the fruit's ability was quite good, it was completely useless for Su Han.

"It's Perona's ability, but it doesn't suit me. I'll find a chance to give it to Hu Tao later."

The fruit's power was very strong.

Its effects were also excellent.

But unfortunately, it did not match his own strength.

Su Han was different from before. When choosing power, he was now following the path of flame and lightning. Even if he obtained soul power,

he would never choose something like Negative Ghosts.

After putting away the Devil Fruit,

Su Han began the draw. He wanted to see what type of manga he would obtain this time.

As the roulette wheel rose,

a large number of manga appeared before him.

Soon,

as the pointer stopped, a manga appeared in front of him.

Looking at the familiar tuft of hair on the cover,

Su Han's smile became even brighter.

"It's Fate/Zero."

The combat power in this manga was quite impressive, especially the Noble Phantasms inside. Every one of them appealed greatly to Su Han.

Whether it was the Gate of Babylon or the Excalibur beam.

Both possessed extremely terrifying power.

"So before selling it, let me see what I can draw first."

After obtaining the manga,

Su Han began the lottery draw.

The familiar roulette wheel appeared before him.

When the pointer finally stopped,

Su Han was somewhat stunned. He did not receive any Noble Phantasm, nor did he obtain any method for practicing magecraft.

But the item before him was extremely special.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one "Heroic Spirit Contract Scroll."]

[Effect: By signing a contract with a deceased person, they can become your Heroic Spirit. Their combat strength will remain at their peak state, but each summoning can only last for thirty minutes.]

[Notice: Once the contract is signed, the Heroic Spirit and the host will coexist. If the host dies, the Heroic Spirit will immediately perish.]

[Note: Both sides must agree before this contract can be successfully established.]

[Special: When a Heroic Spirit appears, it consumes the host's power. When summoning powerful Heroic Spirits, please pay attention to this issue.]

"This thing is a bit overpowered."

Su Han murmured to himself.

There were no restrictions.

As long as a contract was signed, the soul could be transformed into a Heroic Spirit.

This was simply too absurd.

Su Han even began to consider whether he should dig up the tombs of various demon gods. If any of them still had a lingering fragment of their soul,

then in the future he would not need to fear the Fatui.

At the very least, as long as he did not encounter someone too abnormal, he could walk sideways everywhere.

Su Han put away the golden scroll, feeling that his luck had been quite good.

Walking to the window, Su Han glanced outside.

Xu Er was standing at the entrance of the warehouse, drenched in sweat while directing the transport.

"In that case, I'll have someone else handle the promotion."

Xu Er was a very hardworking man. Aside from being extremely afraid of his wife, he had no other flaws.

Coming downstairs,

Su Han sent someone to call Tian Tiezui. Soon the man came running over.

"Boss, greetings."

"Brother Tian, I'll have to trouble you this time. The promotion for the new manga is here."

"No problem. Leave it to me."

Tian Tiezui immediately called over his workers.

Soon, the sound of gongs and drums echoed through the streets and alleys.

People were already accustomed to the announcements of manga updates.

But when they looked over one after another, they were shocked to discover that this time not only had Adventure King been updated,

Boss Su had also published a brand-new manga.

The promotional slogans written above were extremely explosive.

[The dead transform into Heroic Spirits and fight for their once-held dreams!]

[What kind of sparks will appear when the power of magic collides with technology?]

[If you could encounter the Holy Grail that grants every wish, would you pursue it?]

These slogans

were even more shocking than Adventure King.

A Holy Grail capable of granting any wish.

The dead could become Heroic Spirits and continue fighting. Moreover, this time the theme was magic. No matter what, it had to be worth reading.

Because the manga had become extremely popular, Su Han had already purchased the neighboring shop.

Now, within Liyue Harbor alone, there were seven sales locations.

As a result, long queues had become much rarer.

Not only that, Su Han had also introduced a home delivery service. After becoming a VIP member of the manga shop, customers would receive the newest manga delivered to their door the moment it was released.

Becoming a VIP member was very simple.

As long as one spent thirty thousand Mora in the manga shop, they could register and enjoy this service.

They could even deposit money in advance for future purchases.

Now, forty percent of the users in Liyue Harbor were VIP members.

The rest still needed to queue in person.

Various manga were quickly distributed, but people did not immediately read the new manga. Instead, they turned their attention to Adventure King.

Everyone had enjoyed the previous arc immensely.

So now they continued reading the next development.

But the title of this arc made many readers feel uneasy.

Its name was: Total Annihilation.

After leaving the Devil's Triangle Sea,

Luffy and the others quickly arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

This was the halfway point of the Grand Line.

At the same time, it was the place closest to the Celestial Dragons.

Here, Luffy and the others needed to replenish supplies and coat their ship in order to travel to the seabed. Otherwise, they could only go to the territory controlled by the Celestial Dragons to reach the New World.

And many pieces of information about the New World

were explained in detail in this volume.

Among them, one sentence shocked the fans immensely.

"The first half of the Grand Line is nothing more than children playing house for adventurers. The New World is the truly dangerous place. Four overlords dominate there, known as the Four Emperors!"

The pressure on the previous islands

had already felt overwhelming.

Yet they were mocked as mere children's play. Was that really true?

When Admiral Kizaru appeared,

the fans realized that the adventurer had not been joking.

The so-called Supernovas.

The so-called adventurers.

To him, they were almost defeated with a single kick each.

Of course, the appearance of Conqueror's Haki and Rayleigh's entrance

also became topics of discussion.

"Damn, I knew it! White hair and a white beard. Another monster has appeared."

"Dark King Silvers Rayleigh, the Adventure King's first mate. That's insane."

"What a terrifying monster. An old man can actually be this powerful."

Everyone only had time to be happy for a moment.

Then Luffy's crew was completely annihilated by Kuma.

All of his companions disappeared.

Even though Luffy desperately tried to protect them, there was nothing he could do.

Because he himself was also sent flying.

The fans revealed expressions of despair.

But soon they began drooling.

Because the place Luffy had been sent to

was the Island of Women.

"My heavens, this lucky? It's all women, and they're dressed so lightly. Gasp... Boss Su, I was wrong. Luffy is about to enjoy a paradise of beauties."

"This is amazing. So many women. Forget anything else, let Kuma slap me once too. I want to go there as well."

"Hahaha, I'm afraid he'd slap you to death instead."

The fans burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Mona and Lumine, who had already witnessed Haki before,

noticed the existence of Haki again in this arc.

"The people on Nine Snake Island must all know Haki. Otherwise, how could ordinary arrows be so terrifying?"
