Garden of the Gods.

"System, report the gains from the battle against the Terukawa Pirates."

Yes.

Completed the main quest of firmly setting Zoro on the path to becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman. The World Twist Degree was 30%, three times the original quest difficulty, so rewards were tripled.

Reward: 300 million Energy Points; an exclusive skill from the One Piece world: Soru of the Marine Six Styles; one Three-Color Haki tree seed; one Press-Press Fruit tree seed.

Successfully changed Kuina's fate of dying young. Reward: 20 million Energy Points.

Killed a notorious pirate in one strike and saved the villager Rayleigh. Reward: 6 million Energy Points.

Killed Brecci, an officer of the Terukawa Pirates. Reward: 10 million Energy Points.

Killed Terukawa, captain of the Terukawa Pirates. Reward: 30 million Energy Points.

Comprehended Observation Haki. Reward: 5 million Energy Points.

Seized one Devil Fruit. Reward: 30 million Energy Points.

Gained substantial prestige in Shimotsuki Village. Reward: 10 million Energy Points.

Hearing the system's report, Mu Yu could not help but gasp.

The rewards were simply too abundant!

Energy Points were easy enough to obtain, but getting such an outrageous amount was no easy feat.

As for Soru of the Marine Six Styles, it was an ability Mu Yu had coveted for a long time.

Soru was an exceptionally advanced movement technique. Its principle was to stomp the ground more than ten times in an instant—within 0.36 seconds—using the resulting reaction force to generate explosive movement.

Soru's movement was almost like teleportation; ordinary people could not even catch it with their naked eyes.

Only those who had tempered their bodies beyond human limits could learn it, and the threshold was extraordinarily high.

More importantly, Soru also included the more advanced application technique [Geppo]. By kicking the air while jumping, one could alter their trajectory before falling, even moving through the air.

Sanji's invented Geppo technique, [Sea Walking], allowed for high-speed movement through water, at speeds that could even rival a mermaid's swimming.

In other words, with [Geppo], one could move across sea, land, and sky without blind spots.

The arrival of [Soru] was perfectly timed. Mu Yu's movement speed increased once more, and his combat power rose dramatically as well.

Of course, what Mu Yu cared about most were the Three-Color Haki tree seed and the Press-Press Fruit tree seed.

The appearance of these two tree seeds had practically given Mu Yu the capital to venture into the New World while he was still in the One Piece world's beginner village.

This was an absolute windfall!

There was no need to mention Three-Color Haki. It was one of the most fantastical and miraculous abilities in the One Piece world.

Conqueror's Haki in particular gave Mu Yu a stepping stone toward becoming an unparalleled powerhouse!

The Press-Press Fruit was the ability of Navy Admiral Fujitora. Once developed to a superb level, a single gravity wave could even pull down a meteor from tens of thousands of meters in the sky.

It was far too absurd!

Master, would you like to plant the two tree seeds immediately?

"Wait a moment. After planting the Press-Press Fruit tree seed, will I also have the weaknesses of a Devil Fruit user? For example, becoming a complete non-swimmer or fearing Seastone?"

No. The prerequisite for a Devil Fruit user's weaknesses is consuming the fruit. The way you obtain your ability is by planting a tree, and the primary source of the ability is the laws of the Courtyard.

"Great."

Mu Yu was instantly overjoyed. Being able to obtain a Devil Fruit user's ability while completely eliminating a Devil Fruit user's weaknesses was simply perfect.

"Start planting."

Yes.

As a vast amount of energy was poured in, the Press-Press Fruit tree, which belonged to the ability tree category, quickly began to take root and sprout.

A profound and indescribable sensation began brewing in Mu Yu's mind.

Very soon, Mu Yu gained the ability to control gravity, as naturally as if he had been born with it.

In this "major test," Mu Yu gained an unprecedented amount of energy. It could truly be called a windfall.

Yet in only a moment, Mu Yu had spent all that energy.

Still, Mu Yu had also reaped an enormous harvest.
