Chapter 2: System-Type · Pirate Crew Fruit

(Brain Storage Area)

(Judging by the title, this book belongs to the bulldozer type; those who dislike it must proceed with caution.)

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

"System, you damn turtle, get the hell out here for me!"

May, 1520 of the Grand Line Calendar.

North Blue, Kingdom of Kachinobu.

On the dock inside a large port, Lin Yu, with short black hair, handsome features, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes, cursed loudly at the sea.

He had just graduated and passed the exam to become a provincial hall civil servant in his hometown's provincial capital, successfully landing a job.

Yet on the very day he received the employment notice, the damn system kicked him with a foot into the Pirate World.

Why say he was kicked?

Because while he was going downstairs, he suddenly felt someone kick him in the back with a foot, rolling him down the stairs.

He got up and found he had transmigrated to the One Piece world; not only did he automatically master the language of this world, but his body had also transformed into an eighteen-year-old's form.

At the same time, he obtained a 'Heart-to-Heart' talent and a beginner's gift pack.

So Lin Yu was convinced that that kick was absolutely delivered by the damn system!

Just having landed a job and received the provincial hall employment notice, it was the time when the horse galloped swiftly in the spring breeze, and one could see all the flowers of Chang'an in a single day.

Lin Yu never expected his horse to stumble and fall directly, bringing him to the extremely wretched Pirate World; how could he accept this?

"Go catch that low-born commoner for me."

"My lord, the Celestial Dragons are arriving soon."

"He is shouting over there; what an improper spectacle!"

"Additionally, drive away all the low-born commoners around here!"

Beside the dock, inside a luxury carriage that had just arrived, a woman in splendid robes with a pretty face and extraordinary beauty looked at Lin Yu in the distance with full disgust, quickly giving orders to the guards beside her.

Because the Celestial Dragons arrived suddenly, the woman in splendid robes had no time to prepare in advance, so she could only drive away everyone around now to settle the matter.

"Yes, Princess Anna."

The guard beside her, hearing the order, immediately ran towards Lin Yu.

Meanwhile, Princess Anna of the Kingdom of Kachinobu began directing servants to arrange the dock, preparing a welcome ceremony for the Celestial Dragons.

"Hah!"

Lin Yu, unaware that disaster was approaching, let out a sigh of relief, feeling much more refreshed after cursing.

He was not someone who resented heaven and blamed others; his loud cursing just now was merely because he was extremely depressed, to relieve his mood.

Since he was here, and he had cursed, so be it.

Thus, Lin Yu prepared to fully experience the customs of the Pirate World; the Ordered World has the Ordered World's merits, and the Chaotic World also has the Chaotic World's wonders.

With his abilities, even without the System, he could thrive in the Pirate World.

Not to mention the System left him a big gift pack.

【Awaken Basic Armament Haki, Awaken Basic Observation Haki, Awaken Basic Conqueror's Haki, Obtain one Top-Tier Swordsman Experience Card, Obtain one Devil Fruit】

Opening the gift pack, Lin Yu suddenly found a Devil Fruit and a rainbow-colored card in his hand.

And within his mind, he also gained much knowledge about the three types of Haki.

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

"And this is the legendary Devil Fruit, is it?"

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

After thinking for a moment, he plucked a Devil Fruit grape with purple swirl stripes and tossed it into his mouth.

System-Made, must be a masterpiece.

Moreover, no matter what kind of Devil Fruit it was, it would grant him the ability to establish a foothold in the Pirate World.

As long as he could establish a foothold in the early stage, Lin Yu was confident he could turn the Pirate World upside down and make it his own backyard!

Yes, a backyard!

Kowtowing to the protagonist team or anything like that, he would never do.

Making Nami, Luo Bin, and Jinbe kowtow to him is the true way!

【Ding! Detected host consuming System-Type · Group-Group Fruit · Pirate Crew Form, System automatically binds data with this fruit, host automatically obtains fruit abilities: Scouting, Ship Control...】

【Scouting: Can view target information, used for crew recruitment】

【Ship Control: Can freely control pirate ships under one's name】

【...】

"System-Type? There are actually fruits like this?"

"No, this should be a special fruit produced by the System!"

Feeling the System prompt added inside his mind, Lin Yu smiled slightly with joy.

The ability of his System-Type · Group-Group Fruit · Pirate Crew Fruit is very simple: establish a pirate crew, recruit special crew members, and once a bond is formed with the crew members, he can randomly obtain one of the crew members' abilities, and it is permanent!

It can be a talent ability or a Devil Fruit ability!!!

What is a special crew member?

A person possessing special abilities or a plot character appearing in the original work is a special crew member.

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

For example, if he recruits a crew member possessing the three types of Haki, every hour that passes, he can obtain a certain amount of three-type Haki experience.

Letting him become stronger just by lying down.

And his Pirate Crew Fruit, after meeting certain conditions, can continue to upgrade and obtain more functions.

Just like the Egg Baron under the old lady's command, every level-up brought a massive boost to strength.

【Current Pirate Crew Level: One】

【Level One Pirate Crew: Can recruit three combatants, one chef, one lookout, one navigator, one ship doctor, and two laborers, totaling nine crew members.】

【After recruiting nine crew members, if the total bounty on the ship reaches one hundred million, it can upgrade to a Level Two Pirate Crew, unlocking more crew positions and granting special rewards.】

Looking at the system's prompt, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes, then turned his gaze to his talent, 'Heart-to-Heart Resonance'.

【Heart-to-Heart Resonance: "No wings of a painted phoenix to fly together, yet one touch of the heart connects us": Charm greatly enhanced, attraction to the opposite sex after 'one touch of connection' greatly strengthened, consumption greatly reduced, CD greatly reduced...】

"This talent looks somehow very evil..."

"Can the three words 'one touch of connection' be used like that?"
