"How could that be?" Ron's smile was incredibly pure. "As long as you do well, I'll give you 1% of the fleet's profits as a year-end bonus..."
Nami immediately took out a calculator and started tapping away, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, instantly turning into Berries symbols. "Wow! Vice-Captain, you're too good! I love you!"
Muah! Muah!
Saying that, she hugged Ron and pecked him hard on the cheek!
Zoro had opened his eyes at some point. He looked at Nami, who was immersed in happiness, then looked at Ron, who was leisurely sunbathing, and muttered in a low voice, "The Vice-Captain is drawing another pie for the new recruit..."
Ron grinned and clapped his hands. "Alright, jokes aside, now begins—the real welcome ceremony!"
Nami blinked, looking bewildered. "The real welcome ceremony? Did the previous one not count?"
Just then, Usopp, standing to the side with his arms crossed, showed an expression of "I've seen through everything long ago" and waved his hand in a calm, collected manner. "That was just a warm-up; now is the main event!"
Nami was even more confused, her gaze sweeping back and forth among them. "What are you all talking about?"
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Zoro simply said directly, "Simply put, the Vice-Captain wants to give you a System to help you quickly become stronger. Otherwise, with your current strength, you won't be able to keep up with us System Users on this ship."
"System User?" Nami tilted her head. This unfamiliar term made her even more confused.
Sanji exhaled a smoke ring, elegantly flicked the ash, and explained with a smile, "That's right, each of us has our own System. Simply put, it's a kind of special ability that allows us to grow at a speed beyond ordinary people."
"For example—" He pointed to himself. "My System is 'Combat Endurance.' As long as I take hits, I can become stronger!"
Nami's eyes widened. "Get stronger by taking hits? Doesn't that mean the more you get beaten, the more powerful you become?"
Sanji's eyes immediately turned into heart shapes. "Of course, Miss Nami, that's why after every battle, I become stronger, and I hope you'll whip me to your heart's content!"
"Ugh... Get lost!"
Zoro crossed his arms and snorted coldly. "My System is the 'Slumber Training System.' As long as I sleep, I can become stronger."
"Get stronger by sleeping?!" Nami was incredulous. "That's too outrageous, isn't it?"
Zoro said indifferently, "That's why I often sleep; I'm not being lazy, I'm cultivating."
Usopp proudly puffed out his chest, pointing his thumb at himself. "My System is the 'Tall Tale System.' As long as I successfully tell a tall tale, I can get various rewards!"
"Tall... Tale?" Nami's mouth twitched. "So your usual exaggerated storytelling is actually how you get stronger?"
Usopp laughed heartily. "That's right! As long as others believe what I say, my strength will increase!" Then he mysteriously whispered, "I'll tell you a secret: my Observation Haki is the strongest on the entire ship!"
"...Tall tale, keep telling tall tales!" Nami held her forehead, feeling her worldview shattered. Then she looked at Luffy. "Luffy, what's your System?"
Luffy chuckled. "My System is the 'God-tier Choice System.' As long as I make a choice and complete it, I can eat meat!"
"Choice?" Nami asked curiously. "For example?"
Luffy spread his hands. "For example, the System might give me three choices, with different contents and different rewards. Completing one task will earn me a reward."
"I see..." Nami nodded thoughtfully. "So all of you become stronger by relying on a System?"
"That's right!" Usopp said excitedly. "So, now the Vice-Captain is going to bind a System to you too, making you a true 'System User'!"
Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes immediately lit up, her pupils instantly transforming into Berries symbols, and she jumped up as if electrified. "Really?! Then... then can it make me rich?!"
Her voice trembled slightly from excitement, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed together, as if she was already touching piles of gold coins.
Ron looked at Nami's money-grubbing appearance and couldn't help but nod. "Of course."
He snapped his fingers, and a golden light shot from his fingertip into Nami's glabella, then condensed into a light screen in front of her.
[Treasure Hunt System · Bound]
[Host: Nami]
[System Trait: Continuously Hunt for Treasure!]
[Current Treasure Hunt Level: Bronze (0/10)]
[Today's Mission: Hunt for treasure once (Reward: Quick Log Pose!)]
Then Ron continued to explain, "This is the 'Treasure Hunt System.' Whenever we arrive at a new island, it will automatically generate an exclusive treasure map."
Nami eagerly clicked on the sample scroll, only to see a detailed topographic map slowly appear, with a prominent red X mark flashing with alluring light.
Ron continued to explain, "As long as you follow the guidance of the treasure map and dig at the designated location, you can obtain unexpected rewards. However..." He deliberately drew out his words, "Because the rewards are so heaven-defying, varied, and include everything, you must dig carefully."
"Heaven-defying rewards?" Nami didn't listen to the warning at all. She stared intently at the treasure map, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
The lines on the scroll seemed to come alive, outlining countless illusions of gold and silver treasures before her eyes.
She suddenly hugged the scroll, clutching it tightly to her chest like a cat guarding its food. "This is amazing! This System is simply tailor-made for me!"
Usopp leaned over to get a closer look, but Nami immediately turned away alertly. "No peeking! This is my exclusive treasure map!"
"I want to see too! It's an adventure with treasure!" Luffy's eyes also lit up. What pirate doesn't want a treasure map!
Nami's eyes sparkled with the light of Berries, and a cunning smile played on her lips. "Vice-Captain Ron, when are we setting off? I can't wait to dig up my first pot of gold!"
Zoro shook his head helplessly from the side. "This woman, she completely changes when money is mentioned." Sanji, meanwhile, held his face in rapture. "But Miss Nami is so cute even like this!"
Nami completely ignored her crewmates' reactions; she was already calculating:
"According to the conditions of this System, we need to head to the next island as soon as possible. Let's go, let's go!"
Seeing this, Ron chuckled and patted her shoulder. "Don't rush, the treasure map will always follow you. But remember, the more precious the treasure, the greater the risk that often accompanies it..."
"I know, I know!" Nami's mind was now full of treasure; she couldn't hear any of this. "Anyway, you guys are here, right? If we encounter danger, I'll leave it to you! I'll be in charge of hunting for treasure!"
"What are we waiting for? Let's set sail quickly! I can already hear the gold calling me!"
