After a bath, he felt refreshed. His long black hair hung down wet, and in his hand was a dark red sphere the size of a lychee, the Eternal Chakra Fruit.

It was very similar to the chakra secret medicine created by the Otsutsuki Clan, yes, it should be about the same.

He put it directly into his mouth, not chewing, but swallowing, because he had eaten it once before and the taste wasn't very pleasant. It should be a little better than the taste of a Devil Fruit. Eating a Chakra Fruit felt like eating fermented herring, while eating a Devil Fruit, he heard, tasted like shit.

Old Ba's secret recipe... cough cough.

The Chakra Fruit melted in his mouth, and the chakra consumed in the recent battle was immediately replenished, and his own chakra level began to increase.

If his previous chakra level was equivalent to 0.5 Kakashi, then now it was 0.8 Kakashi.

As everyone knows, Kakashi is the unit of measurement for chakra.

Chakra is the physical energy in every cell of the body combined with one's own spiritual energy, which is then released through hand seals to perform ninjutsu. Rodney felt incredibly strong right now.

Of course, it was just an illusion. There were plenty of people stronger than him on the Great Sea.

Develop stealthily, lie low.

The only thing that annoyed him was that because Kuro the Hundred Plans had faked his death, even if he brought him to the Marines, he couldn't exchange him for a bounty. His wanted poster had been withdrawn, and he was recorded as dead. If he brought him there, the Marines would mistakenly believe he was trying to scam them for a bounty.

Opening the shop, he now had 510 Mission Points, and he could finally exchange for something he had always wanted.

"Forbidden Jutsu: Multiplying Explosive Tag! Exchange required: 500 Mission Points."

Multiplying Explosive Tag, a Forbidden Jutsu developed by the Second Hokage, a master of Forbidden Jutsu, is an A-rank infinite explosion ninjutsu. It uses one explosive tag to infinitely summon hundreds of millions of explosive tags, causing a chain reaction of explosions. Just one tag is enough to make enemies unable to escape.

The premise is, you need enough explosive tags.

This is also why it's an A-rank Forbidden Jutsu but so cheap.

Because it requires pay-to-win!

But the power is still considerable. As long as there are enough explosive tags, infinite bombing can be achieved.

It was originally a ninjutsu that went with Impure World Reincarnation, but he could use a Water Clone as a substitute. Just one tag stuck to the enemy would be enough to complete the bombing and kill them.

Considering the physical strength of the people in this world, a large number of explosive tags would likely be needed. Moreover, if they entered the New World where everyone could use Haki, the practicality of this Forbidden Jutsu would not be very great.

At least in the East Blue and the first half of the Grand Line, it's a divine skill.

After exchanging for the Multiplying Explosive Tag, the usage method and corresponding summoning formula immediately appeared in his mind. Because it was a ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage, it focused on practicality and speed. It only required a hand gesture and corresponding chakra to activate, with very low chakra consumption.

But summoning each explosive tag requires chakra, making it a sustained consumption ninjutsu.

It consumes not only chakra, but also money!

After having a meal on the island, he heard the news that Kaya's butler, Kuroobi, had been kidnapped by pirates. The restaurant owner was still lamenting the tragic fate of that kind old man. In terms of acting, Kuro could win an Oscar, but unfortunately, there's always someone better, and there's someone stronger than him!

That's Blackbeard!

"For the next ninjutsu, I'll exchange Yin Healing Wound Destruction. Let me see, hiss." Seeing the Mission Points required for Yin Healing Wound Destruction, a full five thousand points. As expected of an A-rank Forbidden Jutsu, it's not on the same level as Multiplying Explosive Tag.

Too expensive!

Forget it, I'll worry about it later.

Without any missions, Rodney decided to leave this island. Syrup Village is too small, and the pace of life is slow. It's better to go to a big city like Loguetown to rest.

The small boat left Syrup Village, rowing the oars, breaking through the waves, and reaching the sea. Although he didn't know the direction, he could drift with the ocean current.

He had enough food. He had Soldier Pills in his backpack, one thousand Belly each. Eating one could provide a day's basic energy.

For a more luxurious meal, he could eat Ichiraku Ramen, two thousand Belly a bowl. However, it could only fill his stomach and speed up Chakra recovery, and the taste was also good.

He didn't need to worry about water either. He had water-attribute Chakra, which could create fresh water to replenish his body's consumption. It was a pity that the system stated that water created by Chakra could not bring the curse of the sea to Devil Fruit users.

Because it was created by energy, it was already good enough to replenish his own moisture.

Moreover, if he used Water Style jutsu, using seawater would cause the suppression of Devil Fruit users to decrease because of the Chakra mixed in it, and the curse of the sea would be weakened.

The seawater that would originally make Devil Fruit users lose their strength would only make them weak. If they were lucky, they would lose their abilities, but their physical strength would remain.

Undoubtedly, Water Style was weakened.

He had originally planned to directly encounter a Devil Fruit user and hit them with a Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave, but the system poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

The small boat swayed on the sea. He put up the sun umbrella on the boat and put on sunglasses to avoid being exposed to the sun and losing his own moisture.

After drifting on the sea for a while, a behemoth suddenly emerged from the seabed and broke through the surface of the water.

The body exposed above the sea was more than twenty meters long, with the head of a rhinoceros and covered in blue scales. It was indeed a ferocious beast of the sea, a Sea King.

"Roar--"

The Sea King roared at Rodney, declaring its power!

"Why are you roaring so loudly?" Rodney took off his sunglasses, walked out of the small boat, and rushed towards the Sea King, stepping on the water.

"Ao?"

It had never seen a human who could run on the surface of the water. However, in its eyes, this guy was just a snack. It opened its large mouth and pounced.

Shadow Leaf Dance!

He kicked the Sea King's chin, and the powerful force sent it tumbling backward, stirring up waves. He himself bobbed up and down with the waves.

Not good, I'm done for today!

Sea Kings still have a certain level of intelligence. This idea is tricky, time to run!

Unfortunately for it, it ran into Rodney. It was already too late to escape.

"Heh heh, free labor has arrived."

Not long after, a steel wire was tied to the horn of the Rhino Sea King, which had a large red bump on its head. The other end of the steel wire was tied to the ship prow of Rodney's small boat.

The small boat's speed immediately increased, becoming Rodney's towing tool.

Sea Kings move extremely fast in the sea. The Sea Kings of the East Blue are particularly easy to bully. I really don't know how Red-Haired lost an arm.

Riding the wind and waves on the sea, if this guy wanted to drag him into the sea, it would be met with a beating. The Sea King, having learned its lesson, naturally didn't dare to do so again. It was ordered to take him to the nearest island.

Damn it, you hateful human! When I become powerful, I will definitely eat you!

Enduring the pain, holding back tears, it forged ahead. Because the speed was too fast, Rodney behind felt like he was on a roller coaster, flying up and then falling down, flying up, falling down!

It was like this, over and over again!

"Bastard, slow down!"

Something thrown by the bully behind hit his head. It hurt a bit!

Wuwuwu!

This is bullying a Sea King!

Slowing down, a ship soon appeared ahead. The Sea King charged straight at it without hesitation.

Rodney, after disciplining the Sea King, paid no further attention. He lay down to enjoy life.

Boom!

Spray splashed up beside him.

Boom!

Another splash!

A small black dot enlarged before his eyes. It was a cannonball!

Rodney: "..."

"What the hell!" The cannonball whizzed past him, piercing the bottom of the ship behind.

Seawater immediately poured in.

Rodney: "..."

Decisively, he jumped out of the Small Boat and onto the head of the Sea King.

Before him was a warship.

Rodney: "..."

He stomped on the Sea King's head, "Bastard, what did you do?"

The Sea King whimpered a few times. It hadn't done anything, it had only moved closer.

Rodney saw an old man wearing a justice cape, burly in build, on the ship's railing. He held a cannonball in his hand and threw it towards them.

Although it was just the strength of his arm, the cannonball's speed was comparable to one fired from a cannon.

And the target was himself.

How did I run into this old man?

He's treating me like a Pirate. Dodging the cannonball, he then saw more and more cannonballs flying towards him.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!" Small fireballs shot out, colliding with the cannonballs and causing explosions.

Rodney took the opportunity to step on the water's surface and, with a few leaps, arrived on the warship.

"Stop! I'm not a Pirate!"

"Hmph! Kid, take this old man's punch first!"

Bang!

Rodney was unable to get up again!
