"?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down.
He then slowly spoke to the system within his body.
Where is the complaint channel?
[Host, please don't complain! This is my first time being a system. If you complain, I'll lose my salary for this month!]
Upon hearing Luffy say he was going to complain, the system quickly intervened to stop him.
[Host, please have mercy! I have a gambling father, a sick mother, and a younger brother who's still in school. I have to earn money to support the family, so please don't complain about me!]
[And if you ever want any Herrscher Cores in the future, that's no problem. I'll definitely add a Honkai series DLC to the shop later!]
"Then why not add it now?"
[Hehe, I'm broke just like you, barely able to support myself, where would I find the spare money to buy DLC for you, host?]
"That sentence, 'like me,' is superfluous!"
"Luffy complained."
[But don't worry, host. My boss told us that as long as we successfully complete our mission as systems, we'll get a bonus for good performance this month. If you cooperate well, I'll add DLC to the store next month!]
The system said with absolute certainty.
Rufu shook his head at this.
My dear system, can't you tell that your boss is just making empty promises?
They said they would give bonuses to systems that perform well.
Who performs well, and what constitutes good performance? Isn't all of that ultimately decided by the boss?
However, Luffy ultimately didn't tell the system about it.
After all, Luffy also really wants this DLC, so it's best not to discourage the system's enthusiasm at this time.
Wait until your store DLC arrives before confronting the system.
After looking at the store for a while, Luffy closed it.
There's nothing I can do. I don't have a single Star Jade in my possession right now, so I can't afford anything in the store.
"System, is there any way to obtain Xingqiong?"
Yes. There are two ways to obtain Star Jade: daily check-in and completing various tasks!
When Luffy asked, the system immediately responded.
"Okay, then sign in and open the task panel!"
[Ding dong, you have successfully checked in. You have successfully checked in for 29 stars today. The task panel is opening for you!]
Upon hearing that he had only signed in to the 29th Star Qiong, Luffy's lips twitched.
He just checked, and even the lowest-priced Devil Fruit costs over a thousand Star Jade.
How long will it take to sign in?!
With that in mind, Luffy turned his gaze to the mission panel.
There is only one task on the task panel at this time.
The First Voyage (0/1)
This task will probably be completed once Luffy sets sail.
The rewards are quite generous, totaling a full thousand Star Jade.
This thousand stars could completely replace Luffy's Human-Human Fruit with a commoner form, just like Chopper's.
As for the others, that's not enough.
Thinking of this, Luffy asked the system.
"Hey system, do you have a newbie gift pack?"
[Um, it was already there...]
"original?"
Um, I traded your newbie gift pack for a car repair beginner's manual.
"?"
Otherwise, why do you think I would know how to repair this Star Train?
The system said helplessly.
It's a systems-related field, not an auto repair field.
In order to repair the Star Train, it had no choice but to pawn Luffy's newbie gift pack.
Upon hearing this, Luffy nodded, seemingly having made up his mind.
"I guess I should just file a complaint!"
No! Please don't report me! I don't want my salary docked!
Upon seeing Luffy about to complain, the system didn't care about anything else at that point.
[As long as the host doesn't complain, I can give you a Devil Fruit of your choice, and it has no side effects!]
"Really?"
【real! 】
The system said with a pained expression.
Although the cost of the Devil Fruit was ultimately borne by its system.
However, the punishment for filing a complaint is still more severe than the punishment for filing one.
Seeing this, Luffy couldn't help but wonder which Devil Fruit he should choose.
Volume 1: Chapter 4 The Glint-Glint Fruit
Devil Fruits are considered a major special ability in the world of One Piece.
Eating a Devil Fruit grants one all sorts of amazing abilities, such as flying or breathing fire.
Of course, as a price to pay, after consuming a Devil Fruit, the user will be rejected by the sea.
Contact with seawater can cause weakness in mild cases and loss of abilities in severe cases.
However, the Devil Fruit rewarded by the system has eliminated the side effects, which means Luffy doesn't have to worry about encountering seawater anymore.
At this moment, Luffy lowered his head and began to ponder which Devil Fruit he should choose.
After all, some fruits do indeed possess incredibly powerful abilities.
For example, the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) that can revive the dead, the Ope Ope no Mi (Operation Fruit) that can perform immortality surgery, and even the Soul-Soul Fruit that allows for flexible manipulation.
If he could, Luffy would naturally want them all.
However, since we can only get one, we need to think about it carefully.
The first type of Devil Fruit Luffy ruled out was the Zoan type.
Although the Zoan type has Devil Fruits such as the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Azure Dragon Form.
However, it will take some time to master it.
Luffy doesn't have that kind of extra time right now.
If someone eats the Fish-Fish Fruit, they might not become Kaido, but rather Momonosuke.
Furthermore, unlike other Devil Fruits, Zoan-type Devil Fruits contain the will of the animal that created them.
There is a possibility that the fruit awakening may fail.
If awakening fails...
At that moment, Luffy thought of the appearance of the Jailer Beasts in Impel Down and couldn't help but shudder.
Just kidding, he doesn't want to become like that.
Secondly, there are the Paramecia type with various abilities, and the Logia type that can turn people into elements.
After considering the various Paramecia and Logia-type Devil Fruits, Luffy quickly decided which fruit he would choose.
"System, I want the Glint-Glint Fruit!"
Without hesitation, Luffy spoke to the system.
As a Logia-type Devil Fruit, the Glint-Glint Fruit naturally possesses elemental properties.
It is immune to physical attacks, non-Haki attacks, and most energy attacks. It also possesses the speed and power of light, can create light clones and light weapons, and can emit lasers from its body, which can cause large-scale explosions.
In the early stages of One Piece, there were basically no ways to counter Logia-type Devil Fruits.
Furthermore, Luffy chose the Glint-Glint Fruit, which grants him the speed and power of light.
It will be great for both fighting and escaping.
After all, at the speed of light, in the world of Collapse Iron, as long as one doesn't encounter a combat power at the level of an Envoy.
Running away shouldn't be a problem.
[Hmm, host, are you sure?]
Upon hearing that Luffy had chosen the Glint-Glint Fruit, the system couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
Logia-type Devil Fruits are already expensive in the shop, not to mention that the Glint-Glint Fruit is considered a top-tier (T0) Logia-type Devil Fruit.
It paid for the Glitter-Glitter Fruit!
There was no other way; in order to avoid being complained about, the system gritted its teeth and bought it anyway.
The next second, a golden fruit, somewhat resembling a pineapple, appeared in front of Luffy.
"Is this a devil fruit?"
Looking at the Devil Fruit before him, Luffy couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Everyone says Devil Fruits are incredibly unpalatable, and Luffy is going to see just how unpalatable they are!
Of course, Luffy isn't stupid; he knows that you don't need to eat the entire Devil Fruit to gain its power.
So Luffy simply took a small bite of the peel and savored it.
As soon as the Glint-Glint Fruit entered his mouth, Luffy felt a strong taste.
A stench of rotting garbage mixed with a month-old, smelly sock filled Luffy's mouth.
"Ugh~"
At this moment, Luffy suppressed the nausea rising in his heart and covered his mouth.
You can't vomit. If you do, then you've eaten for nothing.
With this thought in mind, Rufu mustered his courage and swallowed the little bit of fruit in his mouth.
After confirming that he had swallowed it, Luffy couldn't help but gag.
Luckily I hadn't eaten dinner, otherwise I can't even imagine what would have happened.
"Did I really gain the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit?"
Once he felt a bit better, Luffy excitedly began experimenting with his newfound powers!
"Oh! It really turned into light!"
With a thought, Luffy conjured a bright light in his hand.
Luffy then attempted to elementalize.
The next moment, Luffy's body turned into specks of light and disappeared inside the train.
When Luffy reappeared, he was already outside the train.
"Feels good!"
Luffy nodded in satisfaction at the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.
