"Check entry."
Entry (Lu En): Navigation (White), Beast Strength (Blue), Superhuman Physique (Dark Purple), Conqueror's Haki (Light Gold), Faction Luck (Super Gold), Born of the Sea (Super Gold), Demonic Beast Physique (Dark Purple) (Loading), Demonic Aura (Special) (Loading), Sun God (Super Gold) (Loading).
Superhuman Physique (Dark Purple) has been loaded successfully.
Lu En felt the food he had just eaten, not yet fully digested, now being digested by his body at an astonishing speed. It then transformed into nutrients, nourishing his body. Furthermore, his stamina and strength had undergone a comprehensive and significant improvement.
With a deep purple combat-type entry, Lu En now possessed more means to deal with enemies besides Conqueror's Haki.
"Higher-level entry of the same type appeared, Beast Strength (Blue) automatically converted into nutrients." A line of light screen appeared again. This first blue entry obtained after his transmigration had now completed its mission. Although blue entries could not be used as upgrade materials, the current situation was not an upgrade.
Instead, as a superhuman physique (dark purple) entry of the same type, it overwrote the lower-level Beast Strength (blue) entry that Lu En already possessed. And by leveraging the characteristics of the superhuman physique (dark purple) entry, it converted Beast Strength (blue) into nutrients, nourishing Lu En's physique.
However, this overwrite only occurred once. Any future acquisition of blue-level physique-type entries would not be able to be used for nourishment. Only acquiring combat-type entries of light purple level or higher could be used to upgrade Superhuman Physique (Dark Purple).
Lu En felt his physique strengthen slightly. Although there was a huge gap between blue-level entries and dark purple-level entries, even a mosquito's meat is still meat. At this moment, Lu En, purely in terms of physique, was one blue entry level higher than Luffy. The gains from this battle against the Buggy Pirates truly exceeded Lu En's expectations. Not only did he obtain "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)", but the "Superhuman Physique (Dark Purple)" loaded from Luffy also completed. The loading of the "Sun God (Super Gold)" entry also clearly advanced a small step.
Next, he only needed to wait for Zoro's Demonic Beast Physique (Dark Purple) to finish loading to complete Lu En's vision. His physique potential would also reach the top of the One Piece world. Lu En clenched his fists, feeling the surging power, and a slight smile curled his lips. After an entry was loaded, Lu En could use it perfectly, so there would be no situation where he couldn't control the surging power.
"Thank you for your hospitality, we'll take our leave now." Lu En looked at Mayor Boodle. At this moment, what Lu En was most eager to do was to swim in the sea and feel the power of the "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)" entry.
"Phew!" Boodle suddenly stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Luffy and Lu En. "A thousand words cannot express my gratitude, thank you! Thank you for saving this town." Boodle was tearful.
"Hehehe, don't mind it, relax." Luffy grinned in response. Lu En also smiled and looked at Nami. Nami and Lu En met each other's gaze and also smiled. She understood that Lu En was telling her that they wouldn't use useless words to comfort people, but would only act. When she felt the time was right, as long as she spoke, Lu En and the others would truly bet their lives to help her. Comrades, huh... Nami pursed her red lips.
...
"Setting sail!" At the harbor, Nami tied Lu En and their small boat to a small boat of the Buggy Pirates, sailing side by side. Luffy stood gallantly at the bow, shouting loudly.
"Splash!" What answered Luffy was the splash Lu En made as he jumped into the water.
"Lu En, what are you doing? The seawater will make me weak." Luffy somewhat frantically dodged the seawater, looking at Lu En in the water.
"Just felt like swimming." Lu En laughed heartily in the sea. Comfortable! Exhilarating! At this moment, Lu En felt every cell in his body incredibly exhilarated. As expected of the entry for being born of the sea, he was like a fish in water in the ocean.
Meanwhile, Nami looked at Lu En, who was laughing heartily in the sea, her eyes flickering. Lu En in the sea gave her a completely different feeling. Freedom, confidence, domineering... Many adjectives could be used to describe Lu En at this moment. But to summarize it in one sentence, Lu En, in the sea at this moment, seemed to be glowing.
"Born of the Sea (Super Gold) activated, capacity increased, Conqueror's Haki strength increased."
"Born of the Sea (Super Gold) activated, capacity increased."
...
However, Lu En immediately noticed something unusual. Besides the initial increase in Conqueror's Haki strength, only his capacity increased afterward. Lu En swam while feeling the changes in himself. Could it be... Lu En leaped out of the sea and returned to the ship.
"Hoo! Inhale!" Lu En felt the sea's energy in the sea breeze and took a deep breath.
"Capacity has been digested, Conqueror's Haki strength increased."
"Capacity has been digested, Conqueror's Haki strength increased."
...
Lines of light screens appeared. So that's how it was. Lu En's lips curled into a smile. This increase in capacity through a BUG-level entry was, after all, not gained through methods like 'raising gu,' using the blood and failures of enemies to strengthen himself. The "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)" entry transformed capacity and Conqueror's Haki, which couldn't normally be trained, into a power that could be strengthened through training. Therefore, after 'training,' it needed to be digested.
Using physical exercise as an analogy makes it very easy to understand. To make the body stronger, after exercising, one needs to go through the process of eating, digestion, absorption, and then strengthening. Similarly, to make Haki stronger through "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)," it also needs to go through this process. Roaming in the sea with "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)" is like eating.
After eating, to become stronger, it also needs to be digested before it can be absorbed and then used to enhance Haki. No wonder, no wonder Buggy was so confident, even incredibly arrogant, before he ate the Chop-Chop Fruit. Top-tier powerhouses like Roger, even with unparalleled capacity in the sea, only had Haki, not Buggy's arrogance.
The reason was that Buggy hadn't awakened Conqueror's Haki and couldn't digest the capacity enhanced by "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)" to strengthen his Haki. So he couldn't fully control the capacity enhanced by "Born of the Sea (Super Gold)," appearing incredibly arrogant, like a greenhorn.
"Born of the Sea (Super Gold)" can only unleash its full power after Conqueror's Haki is awakened. However, even with an added digestion process, it didn't affect Lu En's speed of getting stronger. After all, Lu En was human, not a fish, and couldn't possibly stay in the sea twenty-four hours a day. The digestion process simply served as a period for rest. Feeling his Haki continuously growing stronger, Lu En's lips curled slightly. This feeling was very good.
