Chapter 358: Light of Coins (For 590 Likes)
After walking inside, Su Xiao heard rumbling sounds from the top of the tower.
The Tower of Justice was very tall. It had more than a dozen floors and one floor of this tower was equal to two floors in Su Xiao's world.
After finding a ladder and starting to climb it, Su Xiao quickly reached the third floor and heard gunshots.
When he stopped, he looked to the left and saw a very unusual sight.
A man and a woman were standing next to each other and talking, while the tall man was lying on the floor and didn't move.
After taking a closer look, Su Xiao realized that Kumadori's corpse was lying on the ground, and Nami and Cowboy were standing next to it.
Cowboy joined the World Government camp earlier, just like him.
The crazy priest must have become part of the Straw Hat pirates, and the three hooligans joined Halley-La.
But now Nami was talking to the Cowboy without any fear.
In the Cowboy's hand was a purple treasure chest. Since he killed Kumadori alone, he was clearly able to get a good reward.
— No problem, I'll help, " the Cowboy said, and Nami nodded.
The cowboy looked rather relaxed, as if he'd done something he'd wanted to do for so long.
— Really? Thank you very much, " Nami smiled brightly.
Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, they hurriedly turned around.
Seeing Su Xiao, the Cowboy instantly drew his gun and fired several times before turning around and jumping out of the window.
He had just fought Kumadori and only had 20% health left. If he were to fight Su Xiao, he would definitely die.
Nami looked after the ally she had just gained and cursed him in her mind.
— Nami gave a tight smile and started to back away.
Su Xiao didn't draw his sword because Nami and Usopp from the Straw Hat Pirate group were a bit special. If he killed any of them, he would no doubt get a large amount of the World Source, but at the moment, Nami and Usopp weren't as strong as they would be in the future.
Nami was stronger than a normal person at this point in time, but that was it. Otherwise, she would not be able to deal with strong pirates.
Seeing Nami's smile, Su Xiao walked up to her in a few steps and grabbed her hand.
But his hand caught only air. His hand passed through Nami's body before it dissipated.
Su Xiao was stunned. It was an illusion, and it was able to deceive his perception.
Nami really just ran away.
— Mirage?
Su Xiao couldn't sense Nami's location, which meant that her 'Mirage' could block her perception.
But even though he couldn't sense her location, he could feel the vibration of her footsteps.
----
On the fifth floor of the Tower of Justice, Nami ran as fast as she could.
She was sweating profusely and breathing heavily, but she didn't stop for a second.
«I'm almost caught, if he catches up to me, I'll die.»
Nami was startled and quickly looked around, then looked back at the entrance of the room, just to make sure that Su Xiao wasn't standing right in front of her.
Seeing that no one was there, Nami felt safe and quickly went inside.
*Ding!*
Nami heard a familiar sound that made her prick up her ears.
— That sound... Nami moved closer to the door and wanted to leave the room.
The sound was too familiar for her to control. After a moment's hesitation and finally overcoming her sanity, she opened the doors and looked out.
A gold coin lay on the floor nearby.
Nami's first thought was that it was a trap, but after carefully analyzing the situation, she convinced herself that it was a coin that most likely fell out of the pockets of those who tried to escape from the tower.
Her mind screamed DON'T TAKE IT, but she couldn't control herself.
After picking up this coin, her face lit up with happiness, because it was a rare gold coin.
After wiping it down and making it very shiny, she carefully stuffed it into her pocket, then noticed another coin at the exit to the stairs.
Quickly approaching it, she picked it up, and when she raised her head, she saw a smiling guy in front of her.
— This... It's the gold coin you dropped... I was going to... Nami flipped a gold coin and turned around, but it was too late.
— No, don't put that in my mouth, cough cough!..
Cries for help came from the room, but Su Xiao ignored them.
— Boo-uh-uh!..
Nami vomited several times, but nothing came out of her stomach other than food.
A few dozen seconds earlier, she had swallowed a white snake.
From the beginning to the end, the guy didn't say a word, and she didn't know what he wanted to do. More importantly, he took the gold coin from her.
Nami was saddened. She was forced to swallow a snake and the money she had just found was stolen.
Su Xiao then went up to the upper floors of the Tower of Justice, lost in thought. His understanding of the Straw Hat Pirates has improved due to this encounter with Us.
When Nami took his bait, he took her by the neck just to make her stop struggling, and even though he didn't put in any effort, Rai immediately gave him a few blood-red warnings.
After seeing all these warnings, Su Xiao understood why the contractors didn't kill the Straw Hat pirates.
Before he arrived, Cowboy and Nami were alone, but he didn't even try to kill Nami.
The meaning of Paradise's warnings was very simple. If you throw the water aside, then if the contractor kills one of the main characters, of course, he will not be punished by Paradise or anything like that — just the complexity of this world will be significantly increased. The specific reinforcement depended on who the contractor was killing.
If Nami dies, the difficulty of this world will reach level 36. Such a level wasn't something Su Xiao could handle.
In addition to the sharply increased complexity, we should not forget that the main characters of this story were not weak in themselves.
But Su Xiao suspected that if he killed Nami, currently one of the weakest members of the Straw Hat Pirates, he would get at least 30% of the world source.
After asking Paradise a few questions, Su Xiao learned that if Chopper, Nami, or other characters of their caliber died, the difficulty of this world would increase to level 30-40. If Zoro or Sanji die, the difficulty of this world will increase from level 40 to level 60, and if Luffy dies, the difficulty will increase to at least level 80..
Let alone a level 80 world, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to survive even in a level 30 world.
However, his goal from the beginning wasn't to kill the members of the Straw Hat Pirate group. Firstly, the main part of this group was already very strong at the moment, and secondly, killing these characters didn't bode well.
Apart from the fact that they were strong themselves, there was no need to forget about their origins. For example, if Luffy dies, Garp, the hero of the Marines, one of Them, Shanks, and even the Revolutionary Army will come after the one who killed Luffy.
