The surroundings were pitch-black.
Inside the prison, the young man opened his eyes and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“A transmigrator as unlucky as me… I’ve got to be the only one in history.” The young man laughed as if trying to find joy in misery.
His name was Nico Sylvan.
His mother was Nico Olvia, and he had a younger sister named Nico Robin.
“Brat, are you done yet?
Keep making noise and see if I don’t chop you up!” From the dark cell on his left, two terrifying eyes suddenly opened.
The voice roared at Sylvan, shaking his eardrums until they hurt.
“Damn it.” Sylvan, already furious from being locked up, had nowhere to vent the resentment boiling in his chest.
He snapped back, “So what if I make noise?
What are you going to do about it?
Screw you, Golden Lion!
If you don’t like it, then kill me!” “You tired of living?” The figure crouched in the corner widened his eyes several times over, blood vessels spreading through them like red webs.
Seeing this, Sylvan smiled faintly.
Calm and composed, he walked over to the bars, stopping only two or three meters away from the hulking figure.
“Come on, Golden Lion.
Reach your hand over.
Hurry up and kill me.
Set me free.” That was right.
Sylvan’s prison neighbor was none other than one of the legendary Three Great Pirates, the Golden Lion himself.
He lived right next door.
“Heh heh.
Kill you?
Wouldn’t that be letting you off too easily?
Prison life has only just begun.
Isn’t it much better if you stay here and talk to me?
I’m too lonely by myself.” The Golden Lion grinned and looked at Sylvan with gloating amusement.
“I want to see you trapped between wanting to live and being unable to die.
Heh heh.
Too interesting.” “Old bastard.” Sylvan glared fiercely at the Golden Lion, then sighed and sat down helplessly.
Ever since he was little, his body had been frail.
He was a living, breathing sickly invalid.
No one could figure out exactly what was wrong with him.
His stamina was terrible, and he wasn’t suited for combat at all.
Because of that, he had lived twelve years like a useless person.
Knowing history well, Sylvan understood that Ohara would be destroyed sooner or later.
That was why he had taken his younger sister Robin and left Ohara early, hoping to escape the flames of war.
But the Marines truly deserved their reputation as a world-famous organization.
One month after Ohara’s destruction, they managed to find out where Sylvan and Robin were staying, and they even sent Aokiji personally.
History always had such astonishing coincidences.
That bastard Aokiji let Robin go, but Sylvan wasn’t so lucky.
He was thrown into Impel Down.
“Seriously, couldn’t they have just locked me up in some small prison?
How is a place like Impel Down suitable for a little nobody like me?” Sylvan muttered to himself.
His combat power was zero.
“Those damned Marines probably want to use me to threaten Mother.” Sylvan closed his eyes in despair.
Nico Olvia was someone even the World Government took seriously.
She knew the Poneglyphs well, and she was still on the run outside.
“Brat, are you really not going to reconsider?” The Golden Lion stared at Sylvan with a deep gaze.
“I can pass everything I’ve learned in my life on to you.” “Save it.
I already told you, my body can’t handle it.
I’ve been sick since I was a kid.
I’m not suited for martial arts.” Sylvan looked miserable.
Although eating a Devil Fruit could improve his constitution, even the trashiest ones cost over a hundred million berries.
He had no money.
“Sigh…” The Golden Lion let out a sigh and stopped talking.
“Am I going to spend the rest of my life rotting in this deep-sea prison?” With his eyes closed, Sylvan’s heart surged with endless unwillingness.
Then, a mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
“Plunder System activated.” His closed eyes flew open.
Sylvan looked around.
The surroundings were deathly silent, without even a ghostly shadow in sight.
He muttered to himself, “Did I hear that wrong?” “You didn’t hear wrong.
I’m inside your mind.
This system has only just awakened.” The voice in his head spoke, its tone carrying a clear sense of weakness.
“I barely managed to awaken after devouring twelve years’ worth of essence from your body.” Hearing this, Sylvan’s expression changed drastically.
His face darkened like water, and a ferocious light appeared in his eyes.
No wonder his body had been plagued with so many illnesses over the past dozen years.
He caught colds constantly, got sleepy at the drop of a hat, and sometimes even walking felt exhausting.
“You bastard…” Sylvan nearly went berserk.
Furious and humiliated, he growled in a low voice, “I don’t care what the hell you are.
You’d better give me an explanation, or I’ll smash myself to death right here.
Then we can all be finished together.” The Plunder System responded directly, “Don’t get so worked up.
This system can compensate you.
I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.” “Compensate me?” Only then did the anger on Sylvan’s face slightly recede, but his voice remained cold.
“You’ve been hiding in my body for twelve years, so you know everything I’ve been through, right?
Your compensation had better satisfy me.
Otherwise, we’ll die together.
Living in this godforsaken prison isn’t any better than dying anyway.” “This system will randomly provide three gift packs.
As for what you can open, that depends on your luck,” the system’s voice echoed in his mind.
A moment later, Sylvan discovered that he was standing in an unfamiliar world.
The system explained that this was his spiritual world.
In front of him were three gift packs, exquisite and mysterious like Pandora’s boxes.
“Hurry up and open them for me.” Sylvan urged, full of anticipation.
Bang, bang, bang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three gift packs opened on their own.
The things inside immediately caught Sylvan’s attention.
“Your luck is fairly good.
One Hoi-Poi Capsule, one Devil Fruit, and one Senzu Bean,” the voice in Sylvan’s mind explained.
“Aside from the Devil Fruit, these are all items from Dragon Ball.
You should know what they do, right?” “A Hoi-Poi Capsule and a Senzu Bean?
That sounds pretty good.
What ability does this Devil Fruit have?” Sylvan asked expectantly.
His resentment toward the Plunder System had also lessened quite a bit.
“It is the Wood Release Fruit.
After eating it, you can use the Wood Release from Naruto.”
