Lu Mingfei was clutching his head, feeling as though his childhood was shattering into pieces.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
He rolled around on the ground, his hair rubbed into a messy bird's nest.
"Wasn't Luffy's power the Paramecia Gum-Gum Fruit? How did it suddenly become the Mythical Zoan Nika Fruit! This makes no scientific sense! This is basically a betrayal of us veteran readers' feelings!"
"And why can his Sun God Fruit stretch like rubber anyway!"
As a hardcore One Piece fan, the shock of this spoiler was no less than someone telling him that Ultraman could actually fuse with kaiju.
If Ian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely lean into his ear and say, "Bro, believe it or not, Ultraman really can fuse with kaiju!"
Ian watched his world-collapsing, miserable display and stood calmly to the side, a faint smile hanging on his lips.
Then, he dropped a few more massive bombshells.
"Oh, right, forgot to tell you."
"Marine Admiral Aokiji will soon defect from the Marines and join the Blackbeard Pirates."
Lu Mingfei's movements instantly froze, the expression on his face stiffening.
"Red-Haired Shanks is actually a Celestial Dragon."
"Also, Blackbeard Teach's biological father is Rocks, the captain of the previous era's overlords of the sea like Whitebeard, Big Mom, Golden Lion, and Kaido."
Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated, and his mouth unconsciously hung wide open. What kind of insane lineup was that?
"And Koby... Garp... Imu..."
That last sentence caused Lu Mingfei's brain to completely crash. His eyes lost their focus, and he squatted on the ground, turning into a pale, lifeless statue.
'Whatever... just let it all be destroyed.'
Just as Lu Mingfei was mentally cursing that old thief Kishimoto, a cold, mechanical system prompt rang out in Ian's mind, audible only to him.
[Interdimensional Energy from the "One Piece" world has been fully collected...]
[Mod loaded successfully...]
[One Piece Mod activated.]
With a thought from Ian, a panel visible only to him appeared before his eyes.
On the interface, rows of brand-new functions were listed.
[Doriki], [Haki], [Devil Fruit]...
"Alright, stop standing around."
Ian clapped his hands lightly. The crisp sound drew everyone's attention, including the still-petrified Lu Mingfei.
"Starting now, we are conducting special training."
"I have a unique crash-course training method here that will allow you to master immense power in the shortest time possible."
He explained the steps of the crash-course training method to the group.
"First, you need to kill monsters to awaken your Doriki. The stronger you are, the higher your Doriki will be."
"After that, you can continuously increase your Doriki through constant combat and slaughter."
Ian's words clearly reached everyone's ears.
He paused, then revealed the even more powerful effects of the training.
"Once your Doriki increases, your attacks can hone your Armament Haki, and every time you take a beating, it will refine your Observation Haki."
"Attacking with weapons will hone your Armament Coating, while attacking with your bare fists will hone your Armament Hardening."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand.
Buzz—!
An invisible ripple spread through the air.
The next second, a simple, translucent attribute panel appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Hancock, and the others.
On the panel, basic information like Name, Level, and Doriki was clearly displayed.
And in the most prominent "Class" section, a single word was boldly written.
[Pirate].
Immediately after, before anyone could react to this miraculous sight...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Several katanas gleaming with a chilling light materialized out of nowhere, stabbing precisely into the stone slabs in front of them.
"Alright, pick up your weapons and go kill a monster."
"Shishishishi!"
Luffy, who had just awakened his Nika form, was still bouncing around like crazy, his body performing all sorts of unimaginably exaggerated stretches.
He glanced at the swords on the ground and waved his hands in refusal.
"I'm the man who's going to become the Pirate King! I only fight with my fists!"
He felt brimming with power right now and was itching to rush out and pick a fight with someone immediately. He didn't know the first thing about using a sword anyway.
However, the moment he finished speaking...
A dark shadow flashed by.
Lu Mingfei dashed behind him in a single stride and delivered a vicious slap to the back of Luffy's head.
Thud!
With a muffled thud, Luffy's head was smashed straight into the ground, leaving only his legs twitching unconsciously in the air.
"Idiot!"
He yanked Luffy out of the dirt, grabbing him by the ear and roaring.
"You idiot! This is a prerequisite for the training!"
Luffy instantly deflated, pitifully picking up a katana from the ground. His expression couldn't have looked more aggrieved.
Ian completely ignored the two clowns' antics and waved his hand toward the empty clearing nearby.
The next second.
Under the horrified gazes of all the female warriors on Amazon Lily, the world before them transformed.
Ten bizarre, gigantic towers made of countless pixelated blocks materialized out of thin air on the island!
The towers were constructed entirely of gray stone blocks. Their structures were simple and rugged, exuding an aura that felt completely out of place in this world.
They were the classic structures from Minecraft—Mob Farms!
They stood like ten demonic towers suppressing the heavens, silently towering above the sea of clouds, casting shadows that enveloped more than half of Amazon Lily.
As the towers were fully constructed, their interiors began to operate.
Immediately after, a scalp-numbing scene unfolded.
A massive horde of monsters poured out from the exits at the bottom of the ten towering structures like a torrential downpour!
Pixelated zombies with rotting skin wearing tattered marine hats.
Skeletons brandishing curved pixelated cutlasses.
There were even bright green Creepers wearing eyepatches!
"Training begins."
Before his voice even faded, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, and the others, along with Luffy who had just been bickering with him, were instantly enveloped by an invisible force and forcefully shoved into the monster horde.
The battle erupted in an instant.
Watching the group begin to power level through the monster horde as if playing a hack-and-slash game, Ian turned his gaze toward Hancock, who was also engaged in combat.
He began to observe the Haki within her body.
It took only a single second for him to completely comprehend Haki through the flow of it on Hancock's body.
In that instant.
BOOM—!!!
A terrifying Haki that far surpassed all the top-tier powerhouses of this world, even transcending the world's very laws, erupted explosively from Ian!
His Armament Haki silently coated his entire body, its pitch-black hue seemingly capable of devouring all light.
His Observation Haki extended infinitely, allowing him to clearly see years, or even further, into the future.
And his Conqueror's Haki could directly interfere with reality itself!
Just the unconscious leakage of his aura caused fine black fissures to form in the space around him!
In a mere instant, his Haki had already far exceeded the absolute limits this world could contain.
"So this is the principle behind Haki. Nothing special."
A hint of boredom appeared on Ian's face.
This level of power couldn't even pique his interest.
Then, as if remembering something amusing, he shifted his gaze toward the island's jungle.
"Well then, warm-up is over."
"Next, it's time to 'open some loot boxes'."
He sank his consciousness into the mod interface and opened the [Devil Fruit Natural Drop] option.
