"Hello, my name is Nojigo!"
The girl with many tattoos on her body had a more bold personality than Nami. After coming in, she waved to Dewey and Kalina, then bowed and said sincerely: "Nami, thank you for troubling you and taking care of her."
"No no no…you're too polite."
Karina was caught off guard by Nojiko's action and subconsciously waved her hand.
"How much did Nami tell you?" Dewey asked.
"What?!"
Nojigo was slightly stunned and looked at Dewey in confusion.
"No, nothing."
Dewey shook his head. He had gotten the answer he wanted.
Apparently, Nami had not told Nojigo their identities and purpose of coming here.
"Where is Nami's room?" Dewey continued to ask.
"There…"
Nokigo pointed subconsciously.
"You guys chat, I'm going to practice."
Dewey stood up and walked into Nami's room holding the Sandai Kitetsu.
"he..."
Nojigao looked at Dewey's back, feeling a little overwhelmed.
At this time, Kalina came over and said with a smile: "Don't worry, he is just a training madman, and he is also the 'bodyguard' of me and Nami."
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself… My name is Kalina, and I'm a thief. Nami and I met a friend on the sea. His name is Dewey…"
From Nojiko's reaction just now, Kalina also realized that she was still in a state of ignorance.
Seeing that Nami did not tell her sister the truth, Kalina naturally helped her keep it a secret.
With her excellent acting skills and strong communication skills, Kalina quickly diverted Nojiko's attention and talked to her about her and Nami's experiences at sea.
In Nami's room, Dewey was wielding the Sandai Kitetsu.
By activating the game system, Dewey sacrificed his talent in exchange for unlimited growth.
Although he was unable to make rapid progress through his comprehension, he gained the ability to learn skills instantly.
As long as he is given the training method, Dewey can instantly master swordsmanship, Haki, and Taijutsu…
The system does not display a level cap, which means that you can upgrade continuously.
Dewey only needs to improve his proficiency and he will definitely be able to reach the top of the world and even surpass the strongest.
Compared to the game system, the limited talents are not worth mentioning at all.
but–
"We need to gain experience points as quickly as possible!"
Dewey put down the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand, summoned the virtual panel, and watched his proficiency level slowly improve.
There is no doubt that as long as Dewey has enough time and puts in enough effort, his strength will get stronger every day even without experiencing combat.
But his luck was average, and the time period he traveled through was a little late.
There are only three years left until the story begins. If you don't get the devil fruits prepared for Kalina and Nami before Luffy arrives at the Grand Line, you will never have a chance to get them.
And to obtain those two devil fruits, a certain level of strength is required.
One of the devil fruits is even in the New World.
Before taking action, Dewey must upgrade the Flame-Flame Fruit to a certain level, or comprehend "Steel Cutting", or even… "Haki".
In addition to hard work, he also needs external forces to improve his proficiency.
The game system obviously also knows that the upgrade should be easy first and then difficult, so it provides Dewey with a special external force.
That is——「Experience points」.
After obtaining the Flame-Flame Fruit, Dewey already knew the use of experience points, which was to speed up his proficiency.
As for how much faster it would be, he had no idea.
————
A few days later, the Haiyuan calendar officially turned the page from 1516 to 1517.
No one knows what significance this year holds for the pirate world of the East China Sea.
If Dewey had not come, this weakest sea would have produced a world-famous super rookie. Before he could enter the New World to prove himself, the World Government would have invited him to become one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" – "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace.
In this life, Dewey snatched away the opportunity that belonged to Ace. I wonder if this son of the Pirate King can repeat the glory of the original work.
Dewey didn't know and didn't care.
After staying at Nami's house for several days, with the arrival of the new year, the day for Kokosia Village to submit offerings finally came.
The Dragon Pirates, all members are dispatched!
"I didn't expect that they would mobilize all their staff to collect the offerings."
Kalina said as she set up an ambush in a forest ahead of time.
"Because they are not only collecting offerings from Kokosia Village, but also from more than a dozen other villages."
Nami's face was gloomy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The Dragon Empire ruled more than 20 villages, but now there are only a dozen left. The rest either couldn't pay the money, or someone resisted the dragon and was destroyed by the dragon."
"At this time of the month, they all go out in full force, not only to collect offerings, but also to intimidate other villages and entertain themselves."
"As expected of a pirate!"
Karina's eyes were filled with disgust. No wonder this little thief hated pirates so much.
Dewey was also a little surprised, but at the same time he felt enlightened.
After all, reality is not comics, and the information revealed in anime and comics is limited.
"Here they come!"
At this time, a group of fishmen suddenly appeared in front of Dewey and the other two.
They are either strong or fat, with different skin colors, and they all exude a very violent feeling.
The leader among them was a shark-man who was over two and a half meters tall, with serrated teeth and nose.
On his right was a cartilaginous fishman with two rockets.
On the left is an octopus man with eight arms, and a fish-like man with protruding lips like a mullet.
They are the captain of the Dragon Pirates, Fishman Dragon, and his three main executives.
Behind them were dozens of fishmen holding various weapons.
"You guys hide behind the tree, I'll take care of them."
Dewey gave some instructions to Nami and Kalina, then prepared to go out with the Sandai Kitetsu.
"Boss, please be careful!"
Nami held Dewey back and said with a worried look on her face, "If anything unexpected happens, please don't act stubbornly!"
"Don't worry. If it were at sea, I might not be sure, but on land…"
Rubbing Nami's head, Dewey smiled and said firmly: "Their hope of survival is always – zero!"
Walking out of the woods, Dewey blocked the entrance to the forest trail.
"Wow, a strange face…"
Seeing Dewey coming towards them, the evil dragon with two rows of serrated teeth showed, and his interested smile looked ferocious.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Dewey pull out the Sandai Kitetsu.
"The city is burning—"
The orange-red flames, like rolling waves, instantly submerged the eyes of all members of the Arlong Pirates.
