"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the Host for drawing Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail and acquiring Ice Demonic Magic."
Hearing the system's prompt, Ye Fan didn't expect his luck to be so good.
Ice Demonic Magic not only allows him to control Ice Magic but also to absorb the opponent's ice as energy to make himself stronger.
It could be said that at this moment, Ye Fan was the nemesis of Admiral Kuzan, whose Marine codename was "Aokiji."
The other party's Ice-Ice Fruit ability had no effect on him; instead, it made him even stronger.
Although he had become stronger now, Ye Fan was still very clear about his weaknesses.
That was a lack of training and very poor physical combat skills.
Logically, since Ye Fan had inherited Austrovsky D. Ye Fan's body, he would definitely become stronger with proper training.
He had transmigrated his soul, not his body, so his physical foundation was not bad.
Looking at the turbulent sea, Ye Fan wanted to show off his current strength.
Ye Fan approached the coastline, and with a thought, several waves were frozen by Ye Fan, looking very beautiful.
Then, in one breath, he directly transformed the ice into energy that entered his stomach.
After using the freezing ability just now, Ye Fan felt a bit tired.
Now, as the energy was replenished, Ye Fan felt much better; it seemed this ability still relied on the Host's own strength.
Only by becoming stronger could he use it as he pleased.
This also indirectly proved how weak Ye Fan's current body was.
Ye Fan didn't know what level he was at and still needed to develop steadily.
After all, he didn't have Haki now. Although Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit couldn't hurt him, if the other party didn't use his Devil Fruit ability and relied on physical combat with Haki-infused fists, Ye Fan would truly be like a younger brother.
He would only be passively beaten; the opponent's speed and strength were not something the current Ye Fan could compare to.
"Gugugugu!"
His stomach rumbled, and Ye Fan rubbed his belly. Although he had become stronger, he still needed to eat.
It was a good time to go into the village and find out what the current timeline was.
Although he had no money, Ye Fan knew from watching the anime that the villagers of Windmill Village were all very kind.
Especially the proprietress Makino; she was a gentle and cheerful older sister.
Presumably, she would provide him with some food, seeing how pitiful he was.
Looking at everything around him, the trees provided ample shade, the grass was very soft, and the air was very fresh.
Moreover, before Ye Fan transmigrated, the country on Earth had been discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea, and its actions had caused all the people on Earth to be buried with it.
It had to be said that it was truly ironic.
Perhaps, as the fish in the sea mutated, they would indeed become Sea Kings, just like in this world.
However, in this world of pirates, there were still very significant differences from Earth.
This world was also a sphere, and the Red Line circled the planet, dividing it in two.
The Grand Line, perpendicular to the Red Line, also circled the planet, thus dividing this world into four sea areas: East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue.
The latter half of the Grand Line was known as the New World, which was the intersection of the West Blue and North Blue.
The New World not only had complex and changeable weather but was also the most dangerous and strongest sea area, free from government control, where the Four Emperors reigned supreme.
For Ye Fan now, that was still too far away; he just wanted to fill his stomach.
Along the way, windmills were ubiquitous, truly justifying the name Windmill Village without any issues.
He arrived at the entrance of Makino's bar.
Because Ye Fan was currently dirty, some people looked at him with disgust.
Ye Fan didn't know how to go in, as he didn't have a single penny right now.
Just then, a woman with short dark green hair, wearing a headscarf, and a kind smile walked out from inside.
She looked exactly like her anime counterpart; she was Makino, the proprietress of this bar.
Still charming!
"Hmm?"
Makino, after coming out, looked at the dirty but very young boy, who was about the same age as Luffy.
This reminded her of Luffy, who had gone to sea just a few days ago.
And the 'deceased' Sabo and Ace, who had gone to sea two years prior.
"I..."
The words reached his lips, but Ye Fan didn't know how to say them. He really couldn't bring himself to ask for a free meal.
Makino saw the complex look in his eyes, and with his dirty appearance, she knew what was going on.
"Gugugugu!"
At this moment, Ye Fan's stomach uncooperatively rumbled.
This made Ye Fan extremely embarrassed.
"Hahahaha!"
Makino covered her mouth and chuckled, then said to Ye Fan, "Come in, I'll make you some food."
Then she went inside to start cooking and preparing some food for Ye Fan.
She didn't give Ye Fan a chance to explain, also for the sake of his self-esteem.
Ye Fan was truly hungry, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the bar.
The bar had already been thoroughly cleaned, and there were no customers, indicating that it was already closing time.
Shamelessly, Ye Fan found a place to sit down, his stomach urging him to eat quickly.
Soon, Makino brought over a roasted chicken and fried rice, placing them on the table in front of Ye Fan.
Looking at the food, Ye Fan didn't hesitate and immediately started eating in large, ravenous bites.
As the master of Ice Demonic Magic, this temperature had no effect on him whatsoever.
Makino watched Ye Fan eating her food heartily, as if she saw the three boys from before.
"Eat slowly, there's more if it's not enough."
"What's your name?"
After taking a few big bites, Ye Fan looked up at the gentle and kind older sister, feeling warmth in his heart.
"My name is Austrovsky D. Ye Fan."
Hearing that Ye Fan's name also contained a 'D' was truly amazing, just like Ace and Luffy; this was fate.
Then Makino brought Ye Fan a drink, telling him to eat slowly.
Seeing how dirty Ye Fan was, Makino went to prepare hot water for him to wash up later.
There were also clothes left by Ace and Luffy that he could change into.
Here in Ye Fan's location, in this world of pirates, the East Blue was the weakest but also a relatively safe place.
The people here were all very kind, possibly because this was the hometown of the protagonist, Luffy.
After eating and drinking his fill, Ye Fan wanted to ask about Luffy's situation to deduce the current timeline.
Then he would need to train himself well.
Everyone with 'D' in their name was extraordinary, and this original body must be the same.
Physical combat skills were truly very important, as was Haki; these all needed to be learned.
Relying solely on system draws had too low a probability; he didn't know when he would be able to draw them.
