Chapter 1: System-type: Pirate Crew Fruit

(Brain storage area)

(As you can tell from the title, this book belongs to the "bulldozer" genre. If you don't like that, please proceed with caution.)

(The starting location is the North Blue, the North Blue, the North Blue! The North Blue, which is half a planet away from Marine Headquarters!)

"System, you turtle-bastard, get your ass out here!"

May, Year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

North Blue, Kingdom of Kachinobu.

On a pier within a large harbor, Lin Yu—with short black hair, handsome features, and sharp, star-like brows—cursed loudly at the sea.

He had just graduated and passed the civil service exam for his home province, successfully "landing on shore."

Yet, on the very day he received his employment notice, he was kicked by the damn system into the pirate world.

Why say he was kicked?

Because as he was walking downstairs, he suddenly felt a kick to his back, sending him tumbling down.

When he scrambled up, he found he had transmigrated into the world of *One Piece*. Not only was he automatically fluent in the world's language, but his body had also reverted to the appearance of an eighteen-year-old.

At the same time, he gained a "Telepathy" talent and a beginner's gift pack.

Thus, Lin Yu concluded that the kick was definitely delivered by the damn system!

Having just landed a job, he had been at the peak of his life, feeling as if he could "see all the flowers in Chang'an in a single day."

Lin Yu never expected to stumble and fall, landing directly in the extremely chaotic pirate world. How could he accept this?

"Go and capture that commoner for me."

"The Celestial Dragon lord will be here soon."

"Look at him shouting and yelling there, what kind of behavior is that!"

"Also, chase away all the commoners in the vicinity!"

Beside the pier, inside a luxurious carriage that had just arrived, a beautiful woman in ornate clothing looked at Lin Yu in the distance with disgust and quickly ordered her guards.

Because the Celestial Dragon's visit was sudden, the noblewoman had no time to prepare, so she could only clear the area now.

"Yes, Princess Anna."

The guard beside her heard the order and immediately ran toward Lin Yu.

Meanwhile, Princess Anna of the Kachinobu Kingdom began directing servants to decorate the pier in preparation for the Celestial Dragon's welcoming ceremony.

"Hoo!"

Lin Yu, unaware that disaster was approaching, let out a sigh of relief, feeling much better after his outburst.

He wasn't the type to blame the heavens or others; he had just cursed out of extreme frustration to vent his mood.

Since he was already here, and he had already cursed, that was that.

With that, Lin Yu prepared to experience the customs of the pirate world. An orderly world has its benefits, and a disorderly world has its own charms.

With his abilities, even without the system, he could make a name for himself in the pirate world.

Not to mention the system had left him a gift pack.

[Awakened Beginner Armament Haki, Awakened Beginner Observation Haki, Awakened Beginner Conqueror's Haki, obtained one Top-Tier Swordsman Experience Card, obtained one Devil Fruit]

Opening the pack, a Devil Fruit and a colorful card appeared in Lin Yu's hand.

In his mind, he also gained a wealth of knowledge regarding the three types of Haki.

"This experience card can actually be used three times, thirty minutes each."

"And so, this is the legendary Devil Fruit."

Lin Yu put away the card and examined the grape-like Devil Fruit in his hand with curiosity.

After a moment's thought, he plucked a grape with purple swirl patterns and tossed it into his mouth.

Products from the system are always top-tier.

Moreover, no matter what kind of Devil Fruit it was, it would give him the ability to gain a foothold in the pirate world.

As long as he could establish himself early on, Lin Yu was confident he could turn the pirate world upside down and make it his own backyard!

Yes, his backyard!

Sucking up to the protagonist's crew was impossible for him.

Making Nami, Robin, and Hancock kneel to him was the true path!

[Ding! Detected that the host has consumed the System-type: Crew-Crew Fruit: Pirate Crew Form. The system has automatically bound to the fruit. The host automatically gains fruit abilities: Investigation, Ship Control...]

[Investigation: Can view target information, used for crew recruitment]

[Ship Control: Can freely control pirate ships under one's name]

[...]

"System-type? There's actually such a fruit?"

"No, this must be a special fruit produced by the system!"

Feeling the system notifications in his mind, Lin Yu was slightly delighted.

His System-type: Crew-Crew Fruit: Pirate Crew Fruit ability was simple: establish a pirate crew, recruit special crew members, and form bonds with them. He could then randomly acquire one of the crew member's abilities, and it would be permanent!

It could be an innate talent or a Devil Fruit ability!!!

What is a special crew member?

Characters with special abilities or plot characters who appeared in the original work are special crew members.

At the same time, regardless of whether the crew member has formed a bond with him, they provide him with corresponding experience points every day.

For example, if he recruits a crew member with three types of Haki, he would gain a certain amount of Haki experience every hour.

Allowing him to grow stronger while lying down.

And his Pirate Crew Fruit could continue to upgrade after meeting certain conditions, gaining more functions.

Just like Baron Tamago under Big Mom, every upgrade would bring a massive boost in strength.

[Current Pirate Crew Level: Level 1]

[Level 1 Pirate Crew: Can recruit three combatants, one cook, one lookout, one navigator, one ship doctor, and two handymen, for a total of nine crew members]

[After recruiting nine crew members and the total bounty of the ship reaches 100 million, it can be upgraded to a Level 2 Pirate Crew, unlocking more crew slots and obtaining special rewards]

Looking at the system prompts, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and then looked at his talent, "Telepathy."

[Telepathy: Charm significantly enhanced, attraction to the opposite sex after "one-point connection" significantly increased, consumption significantly reduced, cooldown significantly reduced...]

"This talent, why does it seem so evil..."

"Can the words 'one-point connection' really be used like that?" ===== CHAPTER 3 =====
