He opened his inventory.
Staring at the elegant Named Blade Chest resting quietly inside, Klein immediately felt a wave of nervous excitement well up in his chest."Crossing over into the One Piece world and opening a loot box in-game for the first time... I really hope I get lucky on my first try!"
"I offer up my bro Garp's lifelong bachelorhood in exchange for maxed-out luck on this pull!"
Mind and body as one, he tapped on "Named Blade Chest."
Images of famous swords flashed rapidly through his mind like a slideshow on steroids—so fast he couldn't make out a single one clearly.
Purple, gold, and red lights flickered through his thoughts in an overwhelming blur.
And then—
The speed slowed down. Blade after blade slid across his vision, each one making Klein's heart clench. Especially those red-icon Supreme Grade Blades—every time one passed by, his heart nearly leapt out of his throat.
"Shit—Ace just went by!"
"Damn—there goes Yoru!"
"F**k—Gambler's Edge is gone too!"
"..."
At last, the icon stopped—on Wado Ichimonji.
"Phew..." Klein let out a long sigh of relief. "At least it wasn't one of the lowest-grade blades. Wado Ichimonji is a Great Grade sword. Not bad for a first pull."
"Guess trading Garp's singlehood for luck didn't work out."
[Great Grade Blade – Wado Ichimonji!][Wado Ichimonji]Attack: …Special Attribute: Damage Boost …Critical Rate +…Swordsmanship EXP Boost: +5%!Review: A treasured sword that carries Kuina's dream. Irreplaceable in the hands of the Pirate Hunter Zoro.Friendly Tip: The hilt has traces of Zoro's spit. Please keep it clean.
In the One Piece world, Named Blades were already rare. Wado Ichimonji was even more special—a beloved sword of a core Straw Hat member, Zoro, and one of the most frequently featured blades.
With its white hilt and scabbard, it looked simple and humble on the outside, yet it was one of the twenty-one Great Grade Blades—a weapon of hidden might.
Naturally, Klein knew all about it. But he had a question:
"Conqueror's Haki transferred into the real One Piece world from the game... does that mean Wado Ichimonji will appear in the real world too?"
Once Wado Ichimonji appeared in his character's inventory, he instantly equipped it. His chibi avatar now held a modest yet gleaming long blade, its edge shimmering with a cold gleam.
"Nice. A blade in hand—I own the world."Klein grinned. "Now that I've got a gold weapon, let's go claim the AFK rewards."
He tapped into the Training Room.
AFK Yield: 125 EXP
He was nearly level 3. But Klein didn't rush to start another AFK session. He returned to the main screen and began collecting his daily login rewards.
Day 1: Grilled Meat x5Day 2: …Grilled Meat – Restores 5 Stamina per use.Buy the Sign-In Gift Pack to get double login rewards. Price: 88,888 Berries
"Buy it!"
Double rewards were always worth it.
Top-up Successful!Current Balance: 1,125,460 Berries
Login rewards claimed, gift pack purchased, and that pesky red dot on the main UI icon vanished—Klein felt at peace. He then tapped the second red dot icon.
Level RewardsReach Level 2: Get 666 CoinsReach Level 5: …Buy Level Pack to get double rewards. Price: 88,888 Berries
"I don't even know what coins are for yet..."But Klein was already well-versed in these pay-to-win tactics.
88,888 Berries? You wouldn't get scammed at that price. And more importantly, those rewards would make his character stronger.
Spend money to get stronger?
Worth it!
Top-up Successful!Current Balance: 1,036,572 Berries
With another red dot wiped from the UI, it was time for the big one—Battle Pass.
Current Battle Pass Level: 1/100Claimable Reward: Chicken Leg x1Buy the Premium Battle Pass to jump to Level 10 and unlock more rewardsPremium Battle Pass Price: 188,888 Berries
Looking at the Premium Pass price, Klein was momentarily stunned."188k Berries? That's crazy expensive!"
This was the first time a top-up had broken six digits. With only a little over a million Berries left, he had to seriously consider if it was worth it.
But then he previewed the rewards—and couldn't sit still anymore.
Premium Battle Pass Level 100 Rewards:
Conqueror's Haki Upgrade Scroll
Random Skill Upgrade Scroll x1
+1 Skill Slot
+1 Inventory Expansion Scroll
24-Hour Double EXP Card x10
And those were just the final rewards. Between levels 1–100, there were a ton of other items too—Training Room Upgrade Stones, Crafting Speed-Up Cards, Refinement Stones, Enhancement Stones—you name it.
"I need this. These rewards are insane. And it's time-limited. That Haki scroll alone is priceless."Klein gritted his teeth and hit the recharge button.
Top-up Successful!Current Balance: 847,684 Berries
His seven-digit fortune had just dropped to six.Klein winced, but when he thought of all the juicy Battle Pass rewards, his heart stopped aching."Money can be earned again. Power comes first."
"If I've got power, why would I worry about cash??"
"Even a Marine Colonel's swimming in money."
He couldn't help but think of that guy White Hunter Smoker—always puffing on two cigars at once, cruising around on his own motorcycle.
That guy had cash.
Once he graduated from the Marine Academy, as long as he had the strength, money wouldn't be a problem.
Investing in yourself was never a mistake—better than wasting it all on women a hundred times over.
That thought made Klein feel a lot better.
The main menu still had plenty of icons, but at just level 2, his character hadn't unlocked many features yet.
"Time to start clearing stages."
"Stage progression has tons of rewards too!"
He tapped into Adventure Voyage, and once again, it was the Alvida Pirates.Only this time, Imu's Dad wasn't bare-handed—he appeared wielding a shining Great Grade Blade.
He clashed in turn-based combat with a bandana-wearing pirate goon—one swing after another.
No flashy techniques. Every blow drew blood.
With the gold-tier Wado Ichimonji, his character's damage had clearly improved. Five slashes and the pirate was dead.
Stage 1–1 ClearEXP Gained: 10Gold Coins x30White Equipment LV.1: Ordinary DaggerWhite Equipment LV.1: Ordinary ShortsRefinement Stone x1
After equipping the shorts for a slight defense boost, Klein moved on to Stage 1–2. This time, the number of pirate goons increased from 1 to 3.
Even with the Great Grade blade in hand, two fists were no match for four hands. Father of Imu was cut down once more, lying in a pool of blood.
The screen dimmed.
