This campaign had been incredibly fruitful for Euron. Beyond the massive harvest of soul points, he had also accumulated a significant amount of System Points.
Total Points: 7120.
A portion of these came from [Exploration]. His longship had pierced the mists of the Whispering Sound, skirted the shadow of the Citadel in Oldtown, navigated the perimeter of Three Towers, crossed the perilous Redwyne Straits, and finally landed on the ancient stone steps of Mermaid's Palace to reach the Arbor. Every step into unknown territory was invisibly recorded and rewarded.
Another portion came from [Slaughter]. From the covert landing at the "Siren's Nest" to infiltrating the castle and storming the walls, although Euron wasn't bloodthirsty by nature, his blade had calmly and efficiently ended over twenty lives. Every kill yielded generous points from the System—far more than merely defeating an opponent. Even an ordinary soldier provided between 50 to 80 points.
Finally, the largest chunk came from [Victory] itself. The brilliant achievement of overturning the Arbor and crushing the Redwyne fleet brought him a massive one-time reward of 5000 points.
With enough points accumulated, it was time for the much-anticipated "Summoning." With a thought, ten draws completed instantly. A flood of strange and fantastical items rushed into his perception:
1. [Skill: Chinjao's Drill Headbutt (Iron Head Kung Fu), Lv1]
A sensation of condensed, hardened power flowed into his consciousness, as if his skull could become a battering ram capable of breaking city gates.
Euron touched his forehead. Thankfully, it hadn't turned pointy like Don Chinjao's; it just felt incredibly hard. As for exactly how heavy a blow or how sharp a blade it could withstand... unknown. And Euron had no desire to test catching a sword with his head.
2. [Pet: Sea King - Lord of the Coast]
Yes, that Sea King. The one that bit off the left arm of "Red-Haired" Shanks, one of the Four Emperors. It was a massive, hideous creature resembling a giant moray eel, with red eyes and blue fins. It was irritable, prone to frenzy, and when enraged, its pupils narrowed like a cat's and filled with blood.
In terms of "strength" among Sea Kings, it was considered weak—insignificantly so. Why it managed to bite off an Emperor's arm remained a mystery, or at least Euron didn't know the reason. Maybe it just thought a one-armed redhead looked cooler.
Appearing as a pet, it was bound to obey Euron's commands and could not harm him. When summoned, it appeared inside a transparent bubble. Euron tossed the bubble into the sea, and it instantly expanded into the massive, thrashing beast. Euron ordered it to patrol only the waters around this island and to come immediately when summoned. It was also forbidden to harm anyone without his command.
Euron, with a touch of dark humor, named it: "Red-Breaker," in memory of the red hair it famously severed. Sea Kings possessed high intelligence; while it didn't understand the joke, it understood the name. It nodded its massive head and dove into the depths.
No more rowing back and forth to Pyke. Red-Breaker will make an excellent ferryman.
3. [Skill: Jiao Gong Dao (Leg Kung Fu): Blue Gilly's High-Flying Leg]
Blue Gilly, a member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet from the Dressrosa Arc. Modeled after the signature moves of a certain martial artist, this skill allowed for three lightning-fast kicks in the blink of an eye.
4. [Skill: Santoryu (Three-Sword Style)]
Biting a sword in the mouth... it looked stupid just thinking about it. Anyone who watched One Piece knew whose signature move this was. Euron frowned. The probability of this being useless to him was high.
5. [Skill: Dragon-Slaying Strike]
Source: Shimotsuki Ryuma, the legendary Great Swordsman from Wano Country's "Land of Gold" era, who remained undefeated his entire life. He was the legendary dragon-slaying samurai, worshipped as the "Sword God" for killing a dragon to save a town.
The skill was an extremely condensed intent of slashing, containing the resolve and sharpness to cut through massive objects. Using it consumed a significant amount of stamina; the more stamina used, the greater the power. Euron wondered if this skill could truly slay a dragon in this world.
6. [Skill: Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri (Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash)]
The signature move of "Soul King" Brook, musician of the Straw Hats. A high-speed draw technique where the cut is felt only after the blade is sheathed.
7. [Item: Road Poneglyph 1]
The phantom of a heavy, cold red stone block floated in his consciousness, carved with ancient text pointing to a coordinate that hid a world-shaking secret. This was the first piece of the puzzle.
There are four Road Poneglyphs in total. Each records a specific location. When all four locations are known and linked on a map, the intersection reveals the path to the final treasure—One Piece.
8. [Food: Flying Fish Sashimi]
A plate of incredibly fresh sashimi that looked as if it were still twitching.
9. [Flintlock Pistol]
Caliber: 17.3mm. Length: 1210mm. Weight: 4.6kg. Bullet weight: 21.3g.
Effective range: 200m. Max range: 500m.
Accuracy: ~30% at 100m, ~60% at 50m, 90% at 20m.
Note: This gun comes with, and only with, one single bullet.
10. [Skill: Oden Nitoryu (Oden Two-Sword Style), Lv1]
Source: Kozuki Oden. Daimyo of Kuri in Wano, former heir to the Shogunate, son of Shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki. He sailed with the Whitebeard Pirates as the 2nd Division Commander, later joined Gol D. Roger's crew, and reached Laugh Tale. Upon returning, he sought to open Wano's borders but was executed by Kaido. He wielded the meito "Ame no Habakiri" and "Enma." Even a prime Whitebeard considered young Oden a formidable opponent.
A wild, unbridled essence of dual-wielding swordsmanship—carrying the power to split mountains and seas—flowed into Euron's mind like molten lava. This wasn't a simple overlap with his existing [Nitoryu] (Two-Sword Style). It was a deeper inheritance and enlightenment, stamped with a powerful personal signature.
Just as [Swordsmanship] is the general outline of using a blade, specific styles like [Huashan Swordplay] (perilous and unique) or [Wudang Swordplay] (circular and continuous) derive from it. Each school embodies the founder's unique understanding of the weapon, combat, and the world, resulting in distinct moves and intents.
The [Oden Nitoryu] flooding Euron's mind was exactly that. It wasn't just the technique of holding two swords; it was soaked in the heroic, domineering, yet all-encompassing soul of Kozuki Oden. Every slash was not just an exertion of strength, but a condensation of Oden's life experience.
His original [Nitoryu] was the foundation, the universal law. [Oden Nitoryu] was a magnificent, powerful palace built upon that foundation. He needed time to digest and fuse this wild, foreign philosophy into his own power system, to carve out his own path in this world of Ice and Fire.
Upgrade Costs:
[Oden Nitoryu Lv1] -> Lv2 requires 2000 points.
[Oden Nitoryu Lv2] -> Lv3 requires 4000 points.
Euron had 6120 points remaining. He upgraded immediately. The points bottomed out instantly, leaving him with a paltry 120 points.
Ten draws. Abilities, pets, weapons, secret treasures.
Euron's consciousness swept over these gains. Useful, useless, powerful, strange... they all sank into his "inventory," waiting for the moment they would be needed.
The stage of the world was quietly changing, and the chips in his hand had just increased significantly.
