"Fire Fist—"
With a loud shout, a huge flaming arm smashed down into the sea from top to bottom, creating a sea of fire several dozen meters long on the blue sea surface. It lasted for more than ten seconds before turning into steam and spreading up.
A ball of fire fell on the deck of the sailboat, and Dewey's figure appeared.
Jumping onto the handrail on the side of the ship and sitting down, Dewey summoned the virtual panel.

[Host: Dewey]
Age: 17
[Devil Fruit: Flame-Flame Fruit, Level 4, Proficiency: 72%]
[Swordsmanship: Basic Swordsmanship, Level 5, Proficiency: 33%]
[Experience points: 15]

"Sure enough, the upper limit has been raised!"
Looking at the proficiency of the Flame-Flame Fruit, a smile appeared on Dewey's face.
The system did not disappoint Dewey.
The first enhancement brought Dewey's body a huge improvement. Under the seemingly unchanged appearance, his physical fitness, spirit, strength, and agility increased at least several times. His spirit-related willpower and physical endurance were far better than his previous self.
The improvement of the four dimensions makes Dewey's ceiling higher.
If Dewey's previous ceiling was a water tank, now it is a pond.
These invisible data changes also caused the proficiency of the Flame-Flame Fruit and swordsmanship to improve more and more slowly, from several hours to a [1%] increase to about an hour when it was one or two levels.
There is no doubt that the system enhancement is fully worth the 100 experience points.
Even in Dewey's eyes, system strengthening is more useful than upgrading.
Apart from being used to break through the real bottleneck, exchanging 1 experience point for [1%] proficiency is really too much of a loss in Dewey's eyes.
He could improve his proficiency by several points every day by practicing.
Strengthening the body is like a spiritual time chamber, allowing Dewey to achieve results equivalent to several months or even more than half a year of hard training in just two minutes. He even gets the effect of double experience cards when improving his proficiency.
Now that he had realized the benefits of strengthening, Dewey decided to use his experience points to strengthen himself in the future, until the effect of strengthening was no longer as strong as it was now and became dispensable, and then he could use it to improve other things.
"The boss seems to have become stronger again!"
"After all, he is only two years older than us and is in his growth period now."
Nami sat on the sun lounger, drinking juice, looking at Dewey's back and sighed.
Kalina wore plain glasses and her eyes never left the book in her hands.
Seeing that she is so eager to learn, it is no wonder that she is always ahead of Nami.
"By the way, what kind of islands are the Sabaody Archipelago?"
Nami looked longingly and asked, "Could it be an island with its own characteristics like the Seven Water Capitals?"
"You really got it right."
Kalina also became interested. She found a geography book from the pile of books on the table and said, "The Chabaoti Archipelago is not an island, but an archipelago."
"Islands!?"
Nami's eyes widened, she had heard of the archipelago but had never seen one.
"It's not quite right to call it an archipelago!"
Kalina's tone was full of surprise. She said, "To be precise, this is an archipelago made up of the world's largest mangroves, the 'Archiman mangroves'. There are 79 islands in total, making it one of the largest islands in the world. It is also the end point of the first half of the Grand Line, and is known as the 'Island of Failure' and the 'Island of Starting Again'."
"The island of failure, the island of starting again… why do you say that?" Nami asked puzzledly.
"It's very simple. The losers who cannot survive in the New World will return to this island, then replenish their troops on the Grand Line, and come back here to continue their conquest of the New World. That's why it is called the island where losers gather and set out again." Kalina explained.
"Wow… The new world is really scary."
Nami shrank her head, filled with fear of the sea area which was the real graveyard of pirates.
"It's okay, but don't underestimate the boss."
Kalina smiled confidently, her beautiful big eyes sparkling as she said, "The bookstore in Water 7 is worthy of being the island closest to the end of the first half of one of the seven routes. The bookstore there hides too much information. According to a book dedicated to popularizing devil fruits, the natural devil fruit is the second most rare devil fruit after the animal-type and mythical beast-type devil fruits. There are as many natural fruits as there are elements between heaven and earth.
The upper limit of this kind of fruit is terrifyingly high, especially for powerful elements. If they are developed to the extreme, they will definitely be among the strongest in the world. For example, the three admirals of the navy ate powerful natural devil fruits. "
"You're kidding, are the natural elements so powerful!?"
Nami looked shocked.
She knew how powerful the nature system was. It was immune to physical attacks and could control the elements between heaven and earth. Even a dragon with a bounty of 20 million was vulnerable to it.
But I didn't expect that a person with natural abilities could become someone like the Navy Admiral.
It's just like a country boy who doesn't know about the Four Emperors, but knows that Whitebeard is the strongest man in the world.
Others may not know how powerful the Navy Admiral is, but they definitely know that the Navy Admiral is the "highest combat power."
The navy's highest combat power is the strongest in the world in Nami's eyes.
It turns out that they, like the boss, are users of nature abilities.
In other words, their boss can also become a figure like the admiral of the navy.
"ah..."
Kalina nodded and said with confidence to Dewey, "The boss is the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit and controls the element of fire, which is a very powerful element."
"So reliable!"
Nami cheered with a happy look on her face.
After Kalina's enlightenment, Nami's already full sense of security was about to overflow.
Dewey didn't hear the conversation between the two women, otherwise he would have been full of admiration for Kalina.
This smart girl has grown rapidly since entering the Grand Line.
With her abilities, she will definitely be able to control that devil fruit.
I must get it for her and make it my right-hand man!
