“Sori!”
Kazi instantly accelerated, rushing to Peppa’s side in the next second.
Before Peppa could even react, Kazi had already given it a stroke of love with a punch.
Bang!
Peppa went to see her great-grandmother on the spot, her kind face looking just as it did before she was eaten back then.
“If I eat sparingly, my meals for the next couple of days are sorted.”
Kazi grabbed the several-hundred-pound wild boar with one hand, already thinking of 108 ways to cook Peppa in his mind.
Just as Kazi was about to head back the way he came, he looked up and happened to see a fruit that had fallen beside a large tree.
It was silver-white with strange patterns, looking very much like a peach.
Kazi recognized it at a glance—this was a Devil Fruit.
No wonder Peppa had lingered here for so long just now.
It must have discovered this Devil Fruit as well, but had hesitated to eat it, not knowing if it was poisonous.
This worked out perfectly for Kazi.
He wanted Peppa, and he wanted the Devil Fruit too.
Picking up the Devil Fruit, Kazi didn’t know what kind it was either.
He planned to take it back first and look up some information.
His mother used to be a Marine Captain, and they actually had a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia at home.
With the Devil Fruit in one hand and Peppa in the other, Kazi quickly returned to the wooden cabin.
“Found it.”
Kazi found the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia in a chest, but after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find any information corresponding to this Devil Fruit.
It seemed this Devil Fruit had never been discovered by anyone before.
This encyclopedia had been brought out from Marineford, so it was quite comprehensive.
Since he couldn’t find out what fruit it was, Kazi didn’t dare to eat it rashly.
If it turned out to be a trash fruit, he would have nowhere to cry, so he might as well not eat it.
And don’t give him that ‘there are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless users’ nonsense.
If given a choice between the Swamp-Swamp Fruit and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—both being Logia Devil Fruits—he believed ninety-nine percent of people would choose the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
That was reality.
Which one was stronger was obvious, and everyone knew it in their hearts.
Kazi didn’t dwell on it.
It was still a Devil Fruit, after all.
At worst, if he was short on cash in the future, he could sell it on the black market for a hundred million Berries, so it was a win either way.
It was only worth it to eat powerful Devil Fruits.
It wouldn’t be too late for Kazi to eat one once he went out to sea and encountered a clearly identified Devil Fruit.
Humming a tune, Kazi briefly prepared Peppa, chopped some firewood, and gave Peppa some fiery-hot love.
Before long, the aroma of roasted meat wafted out.
Kazi feasted on a hearty lunch and continued his training in the afternoon.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Kazi went to the seaside early in the morning.
Though the small boat was tiny, it carried Kazi’s hopes for his first voyage out to sea.
“I, Hel Kazi, am setting sail!!!”
Kazi roared, beginning his path as a pirate.
*Ding~*
“High-quality host detected.”
“God-Level AFK System loaded successfully!”
Just as the wooden boat sailed into the sea and Kazi was still riding a wave of excitement, the sudden voice in his head startled him.
“Nani?
This is…”
Kazi almost burst into tears on the spot.
Eighteen years!
It had been eighteen years!
When he read web novels in his past life, every transmigrator came standard with a system, commonly known as a cheat.
But after Kazi arrived in the Pirate World, he waited and waited, yet no system appeared.
He had thought he wouldn’t get one in this lifetime.
Do you know how I survived these past eighteen years?!
He hadn’t expected that on his very first day out to sea, he would finally get the system he had been longing for.
Kazi calmed his mind, and the system in his head came into view.
“God-Level AFK System?”
“Oh, there’s even an introduction here.”
A line of small text appeared before the system.
[God-Level AFK System: Receive one idle reward every day.
Experience a minor critical hit at the end of each month, and a major critical hit on the last day of every year.]
[Newbie Gift Pack!] (Unclaimed)
Simple and clear.
Kazi figured this system was just plain lazy.
No wonder it’s called an Idle System; simply put, it’s a lazy-ass system.
“System Big Bro?”
“System Big Bro!”
Aside from that text, no matter how Kazi called out to the system, there was no response.
Other systems issued tasks every day and even plundered items from various worlds to give to the protagonist as rewards.
Some systems were downright chatterboxes, constantly bickering with the protagonist.
Yet this system didn’t say a word, simply slapping everything at the front like an announcement.
If that wasn’t lazy, what was?
“Whatever, having a system is better than nothing.
Not having tasks to do just means I’ll improve a bit slower.
I’m only eighteen anyway.”
“Claim Newbie Gift Pack!”
“Ding!
Newbie Gift Pack is being distributed!”
“Huh?
So you can speak after all.”
A bright light flashed in Kazi’s mind, and then three small light orbs appeared before him.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Sword Saint Inheritance.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a cursed blade muramasa.”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Devil Fruit Three-Choice Option.”
“Ding!
Detected that the host possesses a Paramecia-type Rip-Rip Fruit.
You may consume this Devil Fruit to fuse with the third reward, upgrading it to a side-effect-free version of the Devil Fruit Three-Choice Option.”
“Fuse?”
“Fuse!!”
There was nothing to hesitate about.
Kazi hadn’t expected that the Devil Fruit he had accidentally found would be such a huge help.
A Paramecia-type Rip-Rip Fruit?
It felt like a twin brother to Buggy’s Chop-Chop Fruit.
Compared to a side-effect-free three-choice Devil Fruit, it was practically insignificant.
“Ding!
Side-effect-free Devil Fruit Three-Choice Option:”
“Paramecia-type Teleport-Teleport Fruit.”
“Logia-type Space-Space Fruit.”
“Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan Model: Chixiao Divine Wolf.”
The moment the three Devil Fruits appeared, Kazi ignored the Teleport-Teleport Fruit.
He had a Logia-type Space-Space Fruit right there; why on earth would he want a Teleport-Teleport Fruit?
Although a Mythical Zoan was the meta of the current version, this was the Space-Space Fruit!
“System, I choose the Logia-type Space-Space Fruit.”
Kazi felt that hesitating for even a single second would be disrespectful to the Space-Space Fruit.
“Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Logia-type Space-Space Fruit (Side-Effect-Free).”
A dark-gold tachi appeared before Kazi, and the Rip-Rip Fruit in his bundle turned into a golden watermelon.
At the same time, the Sword Saint’s swordsmanship inheritance instantly flooded into Kazi’s mind, every move and stance feeling as if it had been practiced countless times.
“Holy crap.
Draw-and-Slash, Charge Crash, Ferocious Dragon Air-Severing Slash, Phantom Sword Dance, Extreme Ghost Sword Art: Tempest.”
“So it’s *that* kind of Sword Saint.”
Kazi hadn’t expected this system to be an internet-addicted teen.
Aside from the five skills above, there were three others.
Basic Ghost Sword Art, Weapon Mastery, and Overdrive.
“Having them is better than nothing.
Besides, while this Sword Saint didn’t seem like much in the game, I didn’t expect the inherited swordsmanship to be so exquisite.”
Kazi picked up the cursed blade muramasa.
A sudden suction force appeared; this tachi was actually absorbing Kazi’s Haki.
“Hmph, let’s see who is superior then.”
Instead of stopping it, Kazi actively forced his Haki into the cursed blade to let it devour.
This process lasted for over ten minutes.
As if it had eaten its fill, the cursed blade muramasa finally stopped devouring Kazi’s Haki.
Seeing this, Kazi drew muramasa.
The sharp blade seemed capable of slicing through the air.
Kazi channeled his Armament Haki to coat the blade of muramasa, only to feel that his Haki had actually been enhanced?
Kazi suddenly realized that the Haki absorbed by muramasa for so long just now wasn’t wasted.
muramasa had acknowledged him as its master, which was why this famous blade was now showing its true power.
“Basic Ghost Sword Art!”
Kazi swung his sword horizontally, and a dark-gold Flying Slash dozens of meters long soared out from the wooden boat.
“This Sword Saint Inheritance is seriously badass.”
As someone who had never practiced swordsmanship before, he had executed a Flying Slash right off the bat.
This inheritance was truly amazing.
Taking out the Devil Fruit, the golden watermelon appeared before Kazi’s eyes.
Without a second thought, he opened his mouth and bit off half of it.
Perhaps because it had been purified by the system, the side-effect-free Devil Fruit didn’t have that foul taste.
It tasted sweet and delicious, even better than an ordinary watermelon.
In no time, Kazi devoured the entire Devil Fruit.
A surge of Spatial Power filled his entire body, as if he had been born knowing how to use it.
“Devil Fruits are truly miraculous.”
“No wonder Sabo could use the Mera Mera no Mi on the spot right after getting it.”
Kazi had been prepared for a boring journey, but now that he had received the Newbie Gift Pack, he was entirely focused on studying his fruit abilities and swordsmanship, not feeling bored in the slightest.
