“This is the jar collection point.
Sign in and receive 100 million berries’ worth of jars for free!”
Year 1519 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
Cocoyasi Village in autumn was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere of harvest, yet beneath the laughter lingered the invisible shadow of the Arlong Pirates.
Having been discovered stealing treasure, Nami dragged her exhausted body back toward the village in a sorry state.
“Damn it, they looked so rich, but there were only 100,000 berries on their ship!”
The thought of risking her life only to earn so little made Nami grit her teeth.
However, she was now a little closer to her goal saving 100 million berries to buy back Cocoyasi Village from Arlong!
“Nojiko…
she should be in the tangerine grove now, right?” Nami muttered, just about to head toward the orchard Bellemere once tended.
Then she heard a commotion from ahead.
Several familiar villagers walked out of a shop that hadn’t existed before, complaining incessantly:
“What a rip-off!
A broken jar costs 100,000 berries?!”
“Are your jars made of gold or silver?!”
“They even said you could get anything from them obviously a scam!”
Their words instantly caught Nami’s attention.
Jars for 100,000 berries?
A scammer?
After the villagers left, Nami cautiously leaned forward and peeked at the strange shop that had appeared in the village at some unknown time.
The shop sign read: Miracle of Fate.
“Miracle of Fate?”
Nami whispered, unconsciously touching her money pouch.
As if drawn by something she couldn’t explain, she found herself stepping into the shop…
Inside, Xia Wen quietly watched the first group of Guests leave, offering no explanation and making no attempt to stop them.
He had just transmigrated into this world known as the Great Age of Piracy the era of the Pirate King and awakened the [Myriad Worlds Jar System].
Within this shop gifted by the System, he could receive a certain number of jars every day.
The System had informed him that once he sold the initial ten jars, he would leave the novice period.
The daily limit on jars sold would increase significantly, and the benefits of the formal stage would also unlock.
Within the shop, he would not suffer any harm or external control.
He could even activate the Shop Owner’s privilege at will, rendering himself invincible within the shop and directly suppressing any enemy.
The shop itself was protected by an indestructible barrier.
Xia Wen was quite satisfied with this.
A System that guarantees the Host’s safety is a good System.
The core of the [Myriad Worlds Jar System] was simple: sell jars.
Sell more jars.
No matter what the Guest obtained from a jar, he would receive the same item.
If someone opened a Devil Fruit, he would gain the corresponding ability without the weakness to the sea or Seastone.
In other words, he would take all the advantages and discard all the drawbacks.
As long as enough jars were sold…
He could grow stronger at an unreasonable speed, rivaling even the rise of monsters in this sea.
According to the System’s explanation, after reaching certain sales milestones, more advanced jars and even new shops would unlock.
But the biggest problem now was clear:
The jars were too expensive.
The first group of Guests had already been scared away by the price.
“System, your price is too high.
Can’t you change it?”
Xia Wen asked helplessly in his mind.
100,000 berries at this point in time, before a certain rubber boy set sail was an enormous sum.
Especially for Cocoyasi Village, which was oppressed by the Arlong Pirates, this was even more unrealistic.
After paying monthly tribute, the villagers could barely survive.
How could they afford a jar of unknown authenticity?
Unfortunately, after explaining the basics, the System fell silent.
It left only a final message: the price could not be altered.
Any violation would result in confiscation of all sold jars.
Xia Wen could only sigh.
“But Cat Burglar Nami should be very rich at this time, right?”
Of course, getting her to part with her money would not be easy.
It would require careful wording… and the right temptation.
Just as he was thinking, footsteps approached.
A new Guest had arrived.
After entering the shop, Nami’s sharp eyes quickly scanned her surroundings.
The interior was simple.
On the table sat only ten plain clay jars.
Her gaze soon landed on the young man resting lazily in an armchair.
He looked around twenty, dressed neatly, his expression calm.
What surprised Nami most wasn’t his appearance—
It was his aura.
He felt completely out of place in this village… as if detached from the entire world.
Even after years sailing across the East Blue, she had never seen anyone like him.
Her guard immediately rose.
Since the Arlong Pirates took over, Cocoyasi Village had been sealed off.
Even fishing boats were destroyed.
So how did this man appear here and open a shop?
“Seen enough?”
Xia Wen opened his eyes, his tone calm.
“This shop only sells jars.
One jar 100,000 berries.”
Nami, still skeptical, stepped closer and inspected the jars.
They were completely ordinary.
This broken thing dared to cost 100,000 berries!?
That was worse than robbery!
Still, Nami had already labeled him a scammer.
Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she flashed a bright, disarming smile.
She stepped forward, planning to probe his intentions.
If she could learn his trick…
Making money would become much easier.
Maybe she could even sell “miracle jars” elsewhere in the East Blue.
But before she could speak
“This shop does not accept bargaining.”
Xia Wen cut her off calmly.
“100,000 berries for one jar.”
“It may contain treasure that makes you rich overnight… or worthless junk.”
His gaze met hers as his voice lowered:
“It might also be… something that changes your destiny.”
“There is nothing it cannot contain only things you cannot imagine.”
“Destiny?”
Nami almost burst out laughing.
“Destiny won’t make me spend 100,000 berries!”
She instinctively resisted spending money.
If the jars truly contained random items, then the so-called treasure must be manipulated.
Who knew how many tries it would take?
She still had to save 100 million berries.
Seeing her about to leave, Xia Wen added calmly:
“The jars in this shop can change fate.”
“For example… gold enough to buy an entire village.”
He paused deliberately.
“Or power… enough to defeat someone like Arlong.”
Nami froze.
Her smile stiffened instantly.
Her hand tightened around her money pouch.
Defeat… Arlong?
She had witnessed his strength firsthand.
Crushing cannonballs, biting through steel, lifting houses
He was a monster.
She wanted to leave.
She should leave.
But her feet wouldn’t move.
Xia Wen pointed to the jars.
“So… would you like to try opening one?”
