Bone Planting Armor

The Pirate Captain reacted quickly, dodging Rono's first strike and counter-attacking with a sword. "Dua!" The Pirate Captain's attack was completely blocked by bone spurs. Rono didn't stop, counter-attacking with an elbow strike while pressing down on the Pirate Captain.

"Puchi!" Rono's bone spurs pierced the Pirate Captain's abdomen and then lifted, the sharp bone spurs creating a gash over 30 centimeters long. He was clearly not going to survive.

The Pirate Captain's sword fell from his hand, and he fell to his knees, eyes wide open, before toppling forward onto the ground. His eyes were filled with regret. "If only I had eaten that Devil Fruit. If only... if only I hadn't tried to rob that ship." With the Devil Fruit and that treasure, I could have sold them in the East Blue and enjoyed a lifetime of...

Rono's eyes remained unfazed, as cold as a killing machine.

"Captain! He killed the Captain! Let's kill him together! Avenge the Captain!"

Although the description was extensive, less than a minute had actually passed. By the time the pirates arrived, the Pirate Captain was already dead.

Rono remained silent, turning to face the pirates. Ten minutes later, a Red-Haired Youth with tattered clothes and covered in blood stood dazed on the deck littered with corpses. "System, what happened to me just now? At the end, why did I... lose control?" The youth paused. "System, Character Panel."

"Beep! The Host accidentally activated the system's Combat Mode, the Berserker Template. When this mode is activated, the Host's combat perception increases, emotions are shielded, and it becomes easier to integrate what you've learned." The system, usually very serious, explained the reason to Rono.

"Character Panel activated..."

Body Strength: 31 (Upgradeable)
Bone Strength: 36 (Upgradeable)
Abilities: Self-Healing Factor, Bone Claws, Devil Fruit (Manipulation Fruit)
Combat Mode: Berserker (5-minute limit, 24-hour cooldown)
Upgradeable Points: 3

Note 1: A certain famous berserker once said, "Come on, one stab each, you first, dodge and you're a coward! Dare you?"
Note 2: Although you now have the strength to crush low-level enemies, you must continue to work hard. The revolution has not yet succeeded!
Note 3: Effort creates strength, practical combat tests the results.

"Oh! So that's what happened. But can you turn off the emotion shielding? I don't like the feeling of being controlled! ... Huh? Why is this mode timed? And it has a cooldown? Am I playing a game Σ·д·" Rono clenched his right fist, striking his palm, and stared at the Combat Mode.

"Beep, this is because your spirit cannot bear it. Exceeding 5 minutes, with your current state of mind, there's a high probability you'll fall into it, becoming a machine that only knows how to kill. The cooldown is for the same reason. The severity will increase over time." The system's standard electronic voice sounded.

"So, young man! Work hard to cultivate! This is youth!"

"By the way, System, if you have something to say, just say it! What's with Might Guy's voice? Are you going to give me a Watermelon Outfit too..." Rono stopped complaining and recalled the scene in his mind. "Ahhhhh!!!!!!" Rono clutched his head, twisting his body like a noodle, and went mad on the deck filled with corpses.

System: "￢_￢...", I'm just watching, I'm not saying anything.

Since the pirate ship had been sailing for some time, Rono couldn't return to the cargo ship. However, Rono had planned to join the Marines wherever he ended up anyway, as he was unfamiliar with the place. As for why he wanted to become a Marine, it was naturally because his heart was filled with justice and a desire for the common people to live happy lives. It definitely wasn't because he was alone and didn't know how to sail, making it impossible for him to go out to sea!

Regardless, Rono set off on the road towards the nearest port. And on the other side...

On the cargo ship, Captain Asiya and his surviving subordinates searched the ship from top to bottom but couldn't find Rono. Nick, his right hand wrapped in bandages, said, "Captain, I remember now! That damned brat went to the pirate ship alone! He said he was going treasure hunting." Everyone knew about Rono's training these past few days, so they wouldn't think Rono would go to his death. But! Those pirates had fled, meaning Rono was preparing to fight them one-on-one? A silence fell over the crowd. An old sailor sighed and went to tidy up the bodies of the deceased. The others slowly dispersed, each going about their own business. Rono had already been sentenced to death in their hearts. Although the opposing pirate captain wasn't very strong, he still had a bounty of 16 million, which a 15-year-old child like Rono couldn't possibly defeat. Since the battlefield was the cargo ship, it was already a wreck and could only wait for rescue. It was impossible to chase after the pirate ship. Moreover, it sailed slower than others.

"16 million, 5 million, 7 million... Wahahaha, I'm rich, I'm rich! I've become rich overnight! Too bad that Good Grade Sword is on the ship." Rono held a pile of Bounty Posters and matched them against the heads one by one. Those without a match were kicked into the sea, while those with matches were piled to the side.

After finishing everything, Rono opened his Character Panel again. This time, he was ready to strengthen himself. After thinking for a while, Rono felt that his current foundation relied entirely on his bones. Since he couldn't die anyway, why not go all out on offense! With that thought, Rono happily spent all 3 enhancement points on bone strength, reaching 39 points. Rono extended his Bone Claws and felt that the bones had become smoother and more rounded. He wasn't sure if it was an illusion. He casually swung at the railing, "dua," and the Bone Claws got stuck in the wood. "..." ∑·д "What the hell is this? You said one second, five slashes, pfft, that could cut through metal? How come it can't even cut through a piece of wood?"

"Who the hell told you it could cut through metal? And with your strength, even a Great Grade Sword might not be able to cut through it?" The system regretted not having a physical body, otherwise, it would have hung Rono up and beaten him.

"Oh ⊙0⊙! You didn't say that. So I misheard, ah ha ha ha." Rono pulled out his Bone Claws and scratched his head.

"You were clearly just fantasizing! I saw you sighing, and that look of regret in your eyes!!" The system complained with narrowed eyes (even though it didn't have eyes).

"Ahaha, don't mind the details, it's nothing!" ·ε· Rono waved his hand dismissively.

"..."

Blue sky and clear sea, a pirate Black Flag Three-Mast Sailboat sailed towards a small town not far away.
