The System Changes Its Rules for Earning Points
After the banquet ended, Whitebeard and his crew, having regained their senses, left. They had originally come to protect Fishman Island, but now that it had become Uchiha Tianqi's territory, they had no reason to stay any longer.
After seeing Whitebeard and the others off, Neptune said to Tianqi, "Brother Tianqi, the ship you need will take a few more days to complete. You should stay here at the Ryūgū for now!"
Tianqi and the others had no objections. In fact, they didn't have anywhere to go on Fishman Island, so staying in the Ryūgū to eat and drink was a good option. Afterwards, the group went to the room that Puniton had arranged for them.
"Captain, Whitebeard Teach, one of Whitebeard Newgate's men, seems to be giving you a strange look!" Shanks said to Tianqi after entering the room.
"Yes, that Teach looks like a very ambitious person. There must be something ulterior about him that he would submit to Whitebeard!" Beckman nodded in agreement with Shanks' words.
"Hmph! That kind of guy dares to make a move on Tianqi? He doesn't even know if he has the ability!" Hancock said arrogantly, hands on her hips, as if she were the powerful one.
"Heh, do you think I didn't notice his actions? I noticed him while we were drinking. He's just a despicable little man, destined to amount to nothing in this life. All schemes and tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength. He dares to plot against me, I think he's tired of living!" Tianqi said disdainfully, not taking Blackbeard Teach seriously at all.
"So you noticed it all along, Captain. It seems we were overthinking it!" Shanks and Beckman nodded, agreeing with Tianqi's words. Indeed, with their captain's strength, Marshall Teach couldn't cause any trouble. In the face of absolute power, schemes were useless.
"Alright, there's no point in studying this. How to deal with Whitebeard is his own business. Everyone's had a long day, so let's all go and rest!" After a busy day Tianqi also wanted to see what help the system could offer him, so he immediately dismissed everyone.
Shanks and Beckman went down to rest after hearing this, but the three Hancock sisters seemed to have something else to do and did not leave.
"Is there anything else you three need?" Tianqi asked, puzzled, seeing that the three Hancock sisters hadn't left yet.
"Tianqi, it's like this. After today's events, we've realized how weak we are. There will definitely be more powerful people in the new world in the future, and we don't even have the strength to protect ourselves. So the three of us are going to eat the Devil Fruit obtained to increase our power. We don't expect to reach your level, but at least we can't hold you back!" Hancock said calmly.
Hearing Hancock's words, Tianqi smiled as he looked at the three sisters. It was a good thing that they knew their shortcomings, and it was even more commendable that they hadn't lost themselves in money but instead pursued power. Taking this step was truly not easy.
"The Devil Fruit belong to you. You can do with them as you wish, and I won't interfere. However, I'm happy to see that you haven't lost yourselves in the money of exchanging the fruits for Berries!" Tianqi looked at the Hancock sisters with a smile.
Tianqi agreed to let them eat the Devil Fruit, and the three of them were immediately overjoyed. Although the fruit belonged to them, eating it would expose their weaknesses. Seastone and the sea were their acknowledged weaknesses, and once they had these weaknesses, they would hinder Tianqi's actions. However, now that Tianqi had agreed, none of that mattered anymore.
Goodnight, Lord Tianqi!
The three sisters skipped and hopped away, closing the door behind them as they left, leaving Tianqi alone in the room.
Watching the three sisters skip and hop away, Tianqi shook his head helplessly, thinking, "It's good that the little ones are so energetic. The wheels of the Empress's fate must be turning now. I wonder if she'll be able to gain the petrification ability this time?"
"Forget it, what goes around comes around. No one can take away what belongs to them!" Shaking these thoughts from his mind, Tianqi immersed himself in the system and began to study it.
After bringing up the system panel, Tianqi discovered that all the items he could exchange in the Hokage world were gone, replaced by rows of One Piece items, including Haki and the Six Powers.
"Not bad, not bad. Everything in the new world has been replaced with items from the One Piece world. This system is pretty powerful. It completed all these actions without me even realizing it. I really don't know how the Reviver managed to create this. However, it's unreasonable that there are items to exchange but no missions are issued to give me Points." Tianqi was happy to see the items being updated, but without Points, he could only watch helplessly.
Just as Tianqi was still struggling with how to accumulate Points, he opened his Points balance and was immediately stunned. The reason was that his Points actually showed 5.55 Points.
"Where did I get over five million Points? System, come out and explain!" Tianqi hurriedly called out to the system upon seeing the Points that had suddenly appeared on his mind.
[Ding! According to the system's programmed settings, after the host acquires sufficient power in the first world, the rules will change upon arrival in the second world. The system will no longer issue missions thereafter; the host will need to defeat enemies to gain Points.]
"Gain Points by killing enemies? Damn! I wiped out almost 30,000 people today and only got about 5 million Points. That's practically worthless!" Upon hearing that he would gain Points by killing enemies, Tianqi recalled how he had only managed to get this Points after wiping out almost 30,000 people today, and he complained again.
But joking aside, I mostly wiped out weaklings today, so getting this many Points is enough. You know, there are so many people in this world, it's not that hard to get Points.
However, now that he had over five million Points, how could he not spend them to make up for today's actions? Tianqi immediately started checking out the various skills in the One Piece world. In the end, he focused on the Haki category. Exchanging for things like the Six Powers and swordsmanship would be a waste of Points. He could easily exchange for these skill-based items. As for Devil Fruit, the tens of millions of Points directly deterred Tianqi. Killing hundreds of thousands of people for a Devil Fruit was simply not worth it. He wasn't a real demon; he couldn't just kill ordinary people at will. It was better to maintain some respect for these living beings, unless they were all heinous criminals.
Conqueror's Haki: This is a kingly quality. Those who possess this Haki can intimidate, scare, and even stun enemies without lifting a finger, relying solely on their aura. It can also cause opponents much weaker than themselves to faint. It Points to exchange for. (Note: Possessing kingly quality reduces the Points by half.)
Observation Haki: This type of Haki can sharpen the user's five senses, allowing them to perceive the presence of surrounding creatures and changes in their emotions. It can also be used to anticipate and avoid danger. It is worth one million Points. (Note: Possessing Conqueror's Haki reduces the Points by half.)
Armament Haki: This is a type of Haki that enhances one's defense and attack power, and can also detect the flow of Logia-type body energy. This Haki can be applied to the user's body or attached to objects. It is Points 600,000 points. (Note: Possessing Observation Haki reduces the Points by half.)
"This Conqueror's Haki truly lives up to its reputation as the aura of a king. The price of ten million is reasonable, but even though it's reasonable, I don't have that many Points. Isn't this just messing with people?" Tianqi was annoyed again when he saw that the Conqueror's Haki actually cost ten million Points.
With his current five million Points, he can only exchange them for Observation Haki and Armament Haki. As for Conqueror's Haki, he's still half a Points. He can't just go out and kill tens of thousands of people for ten thousand Points, can he? If he did that, he would truly become a monster who slaughters people.
But just then, Tianqi noticed the notes at the end. Looking at the three domineering notes linked together, Tianqi felt annoyed again.
"Although it can reduce the Points by half, this whole thing is too complicated. Besides, how am I supposed to know if I have the potential to be a King? You're just messing with me!"
