Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: The Marine’s Worst Day Ever!

"Rubber Fruit? Rubber Man?"

Zoro looked at Luffy in disbelief.

Such a thing as Devil Fruit actually exists.

"You bastard, you dare to hit me; my dad will kill you!"

Bellemere covered his cheek, which was swollen and red from being beaten by Luffy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

And what responded to Bellemer was Luffy's fist.

"Stop, stop it! If you keep fighting, you will really be killed."

The two marines nearby were stunned by Luffy's Rubber Fruit ability just now, but seeing Bellemer almost losing consciousness after being beaten by Luffy, they hurried forward to stop him.

"Can you please stop interfering with our captain's business?"

Uno smiled faintly, and a red and black light flickered between his eyes.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, an invisible wave swept through the bodies of the two marines. Their eyes rolled up, and they instantly fell unconscious to the ground.

"This, this is…"

Looking at the man named Uno in front of him, Zoro's instinct was to clearly sense a terrible power emerging from this man, and then the two marines lost consciousness instantly.

Zoro, who had never seen such power, was filled with disbelief.

"This is called Conqueror's Haki. A weak person cannot remain conscious under this Haki."

The red and black in Uno's eyes faded, and he introduced himself with a faint smile.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

Zoro muttered the unfamiliar term.

After he went to sea, he became a bounty hunter because he lacked money to live and exchanged pirates for bounties.

Due to his great strength, he was given the title of Pirate Hunter, but he had never seen such a strange power.

Whether it's the Rubber Fruit called Luffy or the power of the man in front of him called Uno.

The sea is indeed extremely vast.

"I feel much better, you scumbag who deserves a beating."

Looking at the unconscious Bellemer, Luffy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Check the entry."

Uno looked at the unconscious Bellemer and thought to himself.

Entry (Belumebo): Whitewashing three points (light purple)

Whitewashing strength has three points (light purple): it can be whitewashed, and after whitewashing, the strength is improved.

This kind of stuff also has a light purple level entry.

Moreover, this scumbag, relying on his father's power, has brought disaster to many people.

He can be whitewashed and become inexplicably stronger. 

However, although it is a light purple entry, such an entry is of no use to me.

When Uno was thinking this, a line of light screens appeared.

"Purple-level and above entries can be converted into fixed upgrade entries, which can be used to upgrade existing entries."

Looking at the light screen in front of him, Uno's mouth curled up slightly after confirming.

It turns out that this is how the upgrade function of the entry system is used.

This can also be considered as recycling of waste.

"plunder."

Bellemer's entry was instantly taken away by Uno.

"Transformation."

Looking at the entry of "Whitewash Strong Three Points (Light Purple)," Uno thought to himself.

"Converted, currently has the number of potential light purple level entries (1)."

After using this function, Uno finally understood it.

To put it simply, it is actually able to convert some entries that Uno does not need into upgrade tools, which are used to upgrade the entries that Uno needs.

However, white and blue level entries cannot be used for upgrades. As expected, blue sky and white clouds are very cheap everywhere.

And it must be a complete entry, like the entry loaded from the Pirates group companions, because it is a mirror-like relationship.

Although it completely belongs to Uno once loaded and there are no restrictions on its use, it cannot be used as upgrade material because it is not a completely plundered item.

Entries that reach the light purple level or above and are completely swept away can be used as upgrade materials for Uno's own entries.

Combat-related terms are divided into potential terms and strength terms.

For example, the Faction Luck (Super Gold) plundered from Coby is a potential item.

Luffy's Sun God (Super Gold) also belongs to the potential category.

The Conqueror's Haki (light gold) item that Uno has already lit up can be used directly in battle and is a strength-related item.

Like Luffy's Superman physique (dark purple) and Zoro's Monster physique (dark purple), they are also strength-related entries.

The level displayed for combat-related entries such as physique is only the level of the entry that the owner's current physique can exert the corresponding strength and has nothing to do with the upper limit that combat-related entries such as physique can reach in the future.

The same is true for combat power items like Zoro's Three Swords Style (dark purple) and Luffy's Rubber Fruit (dark purple).

Potential entries can only be used to upgrade potential entries and cannot be used to upgrade strength entries.

Seeing this, Uno felt a little regretful. If he could upgrade directly, he would have used the faction luck (super gold) to upgrade Conqueror's Haki.

Although Faction Luck (Super Gold) has great potential, it is still far inferior to fully mastering Conqueror's Haki-Entangle (Super Gold).

That is, he directly possesses the power of a general emperor.

However, although it is regrettable, it is also expected. After all, potential is just potential, not strength.

If it could be used directly to upgrade strength-related items and allow oneself to possess extremely powerful strength, it would be like creating something out of nothing, and the absolute law of conservation of matter would be broken.

At this moment, Uno has a deeper feeling that he is in the real Pirates world. This is a real world. Even if he has such a powerful system, he still needs to follow the law of conservation of matter.

If you want to truly reach the pinnacle of this world, the system only gives you a pass to the pinnacle. If you want to become the strongest, you still have to rely on yourself.

Uno's lips curled up slightly. This is what makes it interesting.

Just let yourself see how far you can go.

"The capacity is increased, and the strength of Conqueror's Haki increases."

A line of light screens appeared.

As expected, the strength of Conqueror's Haki is linked to the so-called capacity in the original work.

Uno saw the light curtain and said secretly,.

This also proves that his decision to make a high-profile appearance and say the title "Uranus" was correct.

In the world of Pirates King, only by becoming famous and turning the blood and failure of the enemies into nutrients can you truly stand at the top of this ocean.

It seems that I need to be more high-profile in the future and raise the bounty higher.

Anyway, with Luffy's support, he doesn't need to worry about attracting pirates and marines that he can't deal with by being high-profile.

Uno thought to herself.

With the future clear, Uno moved on to looking at upgrade features.

Ten entries of the same level are needed to upgrade it to the next level.

For example, this potential light purple entry obtained from Berumeber requires ten to upgrade a potential light purple entry to a potential dark purple entry.

Compared to others who can only practice slowly, this method is already extremely fast.

At least Uno was very satisfied. In the future, when he encountered some purple or above entries that were useless to him, they would be able to play a significant role.

Without this most important light purple attribute, Bellemer can be said to be completely useless.

"You guys are pirates, right? Why are you getting involved in this mess?"

At this time, Zoro said in complete confusion.

"When I see a scumbag like this, of course I have to beat him up."

Luffy grinned as if to say nothing, then looked at Zoro.

"Would you like to be my companion?"

Luffy invited.

"Why would I become a villain?"

Zoro was a little confused about Luffy's train of thought and refused.

"But I have decided that I want you to be my companion."

Luffy looked certain.

"Hey! Can you please listen to m"e?

Zoro said angrily.

"But if you don't agree, you can only wait to die here, right? A man like you should have ambitions that must be fulfilled. Are you really willing to die here?"

Uno smiled faintly.

"..."

Zoro was silent for a moment.

Die here? How could I be willing to do that?

If he was willing, how could Zoro rely on his willpower to go without food for twenty days?

To become the greatest swordsman in the world, to have his name heard even in heaven. This was his promise to his deceased childhood friend, Kuina.

That's Zoro's ambition too!

"By the way, you are a swordsman, right? Where is your sword?"

Luffy suddenly said",

"That guy took it away."

Zoro looked at the unconscious Bellemer.

"Hmm? Then I'll go get your sword back for you. If you want your sword, you can be my companion."

Luffy grinned and grabbed the unconscious Bellemer and left.

"Hey! Wake up! Where is Zoro's sword? If you don't tell me, I'll beat you up."

Luffy yelled as he slapped Bellemer's face.

"Luffy, the Marine Base is over here."

Uno called out to Luffy and pointed in the opposite direction from where Luffy left.

"I see. Thanks, Uno."

Luffy quickly turned back and rushed out again.

"This guy really doesn't listen to anyone at all."

Zoro's mouth twitched as he watched Luffy leave.

"You're so lucky to still agree that this guy should be the captain."

Zoro looked at Uno, who stayed behind.

"Although Luffy is a little nervous at ordinary times, he is still very reliable at critical moments."

Uno smiled, then looked at Liga.

"You should go back first, Liga. It's going to be a mess here."

Uno, said gently.

"But..."

Liga looked at the slightly cold rice ball in her hand.

"Give it to me."

Zoro suddenly said",

Liga was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile broke out on her little face.

"Here, big brother."

Seeing Zoro wolfing down her rice ball, Reiga's smile grew even brighter.

"It's delicious. I'm full."

Zoro finished his last bite and smiled.

"I'm so happy, thank you, big brother."

Lijia looked at Uno. She understood that it was because of Uno that Zoro ate the rice balls she made.

"So, is a child's sincerity more valuable than gold?"

Uno watched this scene and smiled.

"Ah."

A smile also appeared on Zoro's face.

"Boom!!!"

And just at this moment, a loud noise was heard.
