Chapter 74 - 74 Building An Impregnable Bridge Of Trust
[TL/n: shout out to [Ishy319] extra chapter thanks to him.]

Will has also experimented with the shape change of the Infinity Gauntlet.
First of all, if his right hand was in a different shape, the infinity gauntlet would also change into a form that fit according to the shape and size of his right hand, just like when he was in his Honey Badger form which is in the form of a Claw!
But after Will\'s curiosity of what it feels to elementalize after obtaining the Sand devil fruit, he was surprised to find that the Infinity Gauntlet was directly hidden in one of the elements in his right hand, instead of floating conspicuously out and elementalizing with it, as he had imagined!
Perhaps this is the secret of the usual Infinity Gauntlet that can be hidden in his right hand!
But when Will re-condensed his right-hand entity to attack, the Infinity Gauntlet would instantly appear to wrap around his right hand again, amazingly!
Will played with it for a long time, and his interest in elementalization and observing the changes in the Infinity Gauntlet slowly waned.
Then he wondered what would happen if the Infinity Gauntlet was inlaid with six logia devil fruits.
Would it be possible to have a head of fire, hands of sand, legs of lava, a body of ice, that can move as fast as light, and can call thunder....?
Is it possible to stack them up and elementalize them at the same time? Or will they cause conflict with each other?
That image was just so OP from just thinking about it!
In the same way, if there are 6 Zoan devil fruits, is it a \'six dissimilarity\'?
Will thought that maybe one day he would be able to publish a book called "On the Strange Matching of the Six Devil Fruits" or "The Collection of Operations that Match the Devil Fruits"!
For example, the Fruit of Doors, the Fruit of Silence, the Fruit of Transparency...
If this was given to Jiraiya, all the village bathhouses would be in trouble!
Just as Will\'s mouth was watering from thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Huh?"
"What nasty images are you thinking about again? I called you so many times and you didn\'t even respond!"
Nami, who might have thought of something, looked at him with a look of disgust on her face and said.
"I\'m thinking of what to have for dinner, and yesterday\'s braised electric mouse was unbelievably delicious!"
"Oh!"
"Really? I do like turtle soup, it\'s refreshing and delicious."
At such times it is always the mild-mannered Robin who comes out to relieve the scene.
"Then tonight, let\'s have roasted onion duck."
The one who is always singing the opposite is naturally the \'not at all cute\' older pseudo-loli.
Just when the topic was about to be distorted, Nami finally remembered what she had called him for and asked, "Why on earth did you store so much sand from Alabasta? It\'s not for sale, is it?"
This question has been held back by Nami for some days, and at this point, it\'s really unbearable.
Her question is not that weird.
Because Will has filled a lot of sand in the inner space of his Infinity Gauntlet just in case. Since the space expanded to 1,000 cubic meters, he didn\'t hold back on storing them!
Of course, after being looked at by Nami and others like they are looking at a fool for many days, even if they didn\'t ask, Will wanted to take the initiative to explain!
So he resolutely stretched out his right hand, and then the magical golden gauntlet appeared once again in front of Nami and the others.
After these days together, even Robin was not surprised by his golden gauntlet that appeared and disappeared anymore.
But the next scene made her stare with wide eyes!
"Elementalization?! How is that possible!"
The earthy yellow glow on the Infinity Gauntlet, symbolizing the fruit of Sand, lights up slightly.
"There\'s nothing impossible about it, common sense is meant to be broken, isn\'t it?"
Will smiled and then elementalized in front of Nami and the others who were equally surprised as Robin.
After the performance, Robin took a deep look at Will, who was drying himself on the chair lounger and said meaningfully.
"What a shocking scene, no wonder you took the initiative to prey on those high-ranking agents of the Baroque Work Agency, no wonder you even stepped into the \'burial ground\' prepared for you by Crocodile without hesitation after seeing the note I left for you."
"If this \'common sense\' that you did was known by all, it\'s likely that all the capable people in the world will go into a panic, and a steady stream of trouble will follow."
"Now I suddenly regret accepting your invitation... But at the same time, I\'m glad~"
To be able to get Robin to say such words, one can imagine the shock that Will brought to her after he \'performed\' a bit of his sand trick
A person can only eat one devil fruit in their lifetime, and possessing one kind of devil fruit ability is already universally recognized common sense!
But at this moment it was completely broken by a \'nobody\'!
The question about his ability, Nami Koby and Snow did not delve into it, after all, it was his secret, plus they had not been together for that long, so they did not ask.
But when Will normally uses his ability, he doesn\'t hide it behind their backs, in fact, he can\'t hide it for long even if he wants to, unless Will never fights, but is that possible?
There is no such thing as a secret that can be hidden for a lifetime, just like the hundred years of blank history that the Celestial Dragons took great pains to hide didn\'t stop people\'s desire to find out, otherwise the tragedy of O\'Hara wouldn\'t have happened.
At least the people on the ship are now Will\'s approved companions, and it is okay to let them know part of what cannot be hidden.
The real secret is the origin of him and this Infinity Gauntlet, and that\'s the one thing that can\'t be explained!
So after Robin duly expressed some concerns and warnings, Will just smiled and said, "This kind of thing can\'t be hidden even if I want to, I still hope you know me better than the others, after all, we are the companions who are ready to walk together until the end, right?".
Will\'s words touched everyone\'s heartstrings.
No matter what, at least at this moment, Will showed the commitment and conviction of an excellent captain.
Maybe it\'s because of a variety of personal reasons that brought them all together, but since they\'re already in the same boat, the most taboo thing to do is to not be in sync with each other and drag each other\'s feet.
There is a saying, "Divergent paths do not lead to different plans. Only with mutual recognition can we support each other to the end!
Lying on the sun lounger, Will seemed to feel the trust slowly building between them, believing that one day they would build an impregnable bridge of trust that won\'t lose to Luffy\'s crew!
