The arm he created for Shanks wouldn't actually have any problems.
Because he will definitely use a lot of good materials at that time.
But think about it carefully.
Ximen Yan suddenly felt like he'd been cheated!
No, it's a bit too disrespectful to Shanks.
As one of the Four Emperors, Shanks' arm is only worth one Devil Fruit.
Isn't this a bit too cheap? This is such an insult to the Four Emperors!
That definitely won't work.
Shanks is a man of pride.
How can it be so cheap!
We must find a way to raise prices.
The price has to be commensurate with Shanks' status.
Fortunately, Shanks' problem gave him a solution.
Then Ximen Yan slowly spoke.
"If it were just a simple arm made for you using ordinary materials."
"There will definitely be some things you won't be able to adjust to."
"Of course, this doesn't mean there will be a problem with the arm."
"It's because Shanks, your physical strength is too high."
"A newly manufactured arm will be much more fragile than your other parts."
"However, with proper training, the strength of the new arm can naturally be improved."
Upon hearing this, Shanks frowned.
In that case, his recovered left arm might actually become his weakness in the short term.
Although it can improve physical fitness.
However, it is unclear how long it will take him.
If it takes too long, it might affect some of his plans.
Before Shanks could say anything...
Ximen Yan continued.
"Actually, the problem of having strong arms can be solved."
"If we use some special materials to make the arm."
"The final manufactured arm is fully guaranteed in terms of strength."
"More importantly, it can also bring some special 573 capabilities."
The cost of treatment obviously cannot be changed.
If he suddenly raises the price, wouldn't that make him seem dishonest?
But he can charge fees from other places!
He just said he could make an arm for Shanks.
It didn't specify what materials were used to manufacture it.
Arms made from different materials will be very different.
For example, when treating Ace, he used lava fish, fire dragon meat, and firebird feathers.
Ace is now completely unafraid of Akainu's molten lava.
This can be considered as an increase in Ace's strength.
From this perspective, there is a lot of room for negotiation in this regard.
I imagine Shanks would also like an arm that's different from the others!
"Does the material affect the strength of the manufactured arm?"
Shanks looked at Simon with some confusion and doubt.
But something felt off to him!
"Of course."
"I can only transform the material into an arm that fits your body."
"The strength of this arm will definitely be affected by the raw materials!"
Ximen Yan said matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing this, Shanks nodded in understanding.
Is this explanation still reasonable?
Chapter 424 introduces the ingredients?
Ben Beckman glanced thoughtfully at Simon.
Some of them roughly understood Ximen Yan's thoughts.
"I wonder what special materials can be used?"
"Of course, the Red-Haired Pirates are willing to pay for this."
Ben Beckman stated quite frankly.
Although I have never specifically searched for Devil Fruits.
However, over the years, the Red-Haired Pirates have still received some benefits.
Some of them have already been sold off and used as ingredients and drinks for banquets.
However, a few decent Devil Fruits were left behind.
Of course, even so, these Devil Fruits are only of some value.
Ben Beckman didn't hesitate at all to use the money to pay for Shanks' treatment.
"I have a lot of special materials here."
"They can be roughly divided into five categories."
"Materials for Nen beasts created by Nen users."
"Food cell-based materials."
"Pokémon-related materials".
"Monster-type materials."
"Magic materials".
"When treating Ace before, we used lava fish, fire dragon meat, and firebird feathers."
"Among these, lava fish belongs to the category of gourmet cell materials."
"Fire Dragon Carnivorous Magical Material".
"Moflame Feathers are Pokémon-type materials."
"After being treated, Ace was no longer afraid of the high temperature of the lava."
Ximen Yan introduced it with a serious expression.
This is considered a rather unique type of ingredient that he has access to.
Of course, it can also be used as material to make Shanks' arm.
Although some of them deviated from the original purpose of the ingredients.
In fact, he actually has some rare ingredients from the One Piece world.
Most of it was looted from Mary Geoise.
These ingredients are precious.
But for the Four Emperors, most of them are within their reach.
Therefore, it's naturally difficult to set a very high price.
Unless he's willing to give up the Star Fruit.
But this is obviously impossible.
Therefore, Ximen Yan simply did not mention the matter of ingredients from the One Piece world.
Ben Beckman looked at Simon with a puzzled expression.
Materials for Nen beasts created by Nen users, gourmet cell materials...
He had never heard of it before!
However, he did not sense that Ximen Yan was lying.
That would be very interesting.
"I wonder what's so special about these materials?"
"Which other material is better?"
"Our captain is not short of money, so give him the best."
Ben Beckman said with an air of arrogance.
Of course, his main purpose was to gather intelligence.
After all, Ximen Yan's origins are rather mysterious.
And he always felt out of place.
This is a good opportunity to see what Ximen Yan is capable of.
Actually, we don't have much money on board.
Shanks looked at Ben Beckman somewhat timidly and said.
As one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, they haven't done their job as pirates for a long time.
Of course, having a fixed territory can bring in a continuous stream of profits.
They don't actually need to plunder everywhere.
However, this only applies to most of the territory under its control.
The protection fees collected by the Red-Haired Pirates are not very high.
Therefore, although the income is considerable, it is still limited.
In addition, they enjoy going on adventures and throwing parties.
The usual expenses are quite high.
Therefore, the wealth accumulated is not really that much.
Ben Beckman glanced at Shanks with a somewhat speechless expression.
He was just saying it.
I mainly wanted to see what good stuff Ximen Yan had.
Moreover, Ximen Yan clearly didn't care much about ordinary money.
What's needed is a Devil Fruit.
However, Ben Beckman also understood his captain's personality.
They knew their captain probably hadn't thought much about it.
Instead, it's not good to say anything, after all, you have to give face to your own captain, lest you become a laughing stock in front of outsiders.
