New Door-Door Fruit User!!

At this moment.

Blueno finally understood why Natsuya's Rokushiki were stronger than his own!

It was because his Finger Pistol had actually been trained to the level of Flying Finger Pistol!

Judging from this, if Natsuya's Finger Pistol was already this powerful, how could his other Rokushiki be any weaker!?

Wait, could it be that he also knew Moonwalk!?

"Damn it!"

At this thought, a sense of cowardice suddenly welled up in Blueno. He glared fiercely at Natsuya, then turned around and fled into the air without looking back!

"Oh, leaving already? How boring."

Seeing this, the corners of Natsuya's mouth curled up.

In fact, Blueno was overthinking things.

Although Natsuya had mastered the Flying Finger Pistol and his other Rokushiki were stronger than Blueno's, he truly did not know Moonwalk.

If Blueno had been a bit smarter and fought from the air with the high ground, Natsuya really would have been helpless.

Especially if he had attacked the pirate ship and sunk it, Natsuya might have ended up losing to him.

But now, Blueno had clearly been too clever for his own good; the moment he sensed something was wrong, he fled immediately!

With that, this Door-Door Fruit naturally belonged to Natsuya.

Of course.

Letting Blueno escape like this might bring big trouble to Natsuya.

Because it was highly likely that he would be the first to lodge a complaint.

When that time came, Natsuya would be in trouble, and it was even very possible that he would be wanted by the World Government.

However, compared to the gains, such a price did not seem unacceptable.

Thinking this, Natsuya looked back at the Door-Door Fruit.

The dusty color, the eerie spiral patterns, and that square shape—it had to be the Door-Door Fruit.

"From now on, I am the new Door-Door Fruit user."

Natsuya smiled, and without further hesitation, he shoved the Door-Door Fruit into his mouth.

Because of the rumors, he didn't savor it, instead swallowing it in a few gulps.

Even so, the taste still lingered, causing Natsuya's face to darken.

But soon, he perked up.

At this moment, in the depths of his consciousness, Natsuya felt something new within his body.

Without a doubt, that was the power of the Door-Door Fruit!

If it were anyone else, they would probably need to experiment to confirm the existence of the Devil Fruit ability.

But Natsuya didn't need to go through such trouble.

At this moment, he focused his mind, and a light screen immediately appeared in his head.

[Host]: Natsuya

[Race]: Human

[Strength]: 100

[Agility]: 80

[Spirit]: 120

[Physique]: 110

(Average four-dimensional attributes for a normal human are 10)

[Combat Power]: 1100

[Skills]: Finger Pistol (Top-tier)

Iron Body (Top-tier)

Shave (Top-tier)

Door-Door Fruit (Beginner 0%)

Seeing the record of the Door-Door Fruit actually appear on the light screen, a smile appeared in Natsuya's eyes.

This light screen was none other than the system interface!

Transmigrators all had systems, and Natsuya was no exception.

His system was called the Combat Value System.

Whenever he engaged in combat, Natsuya would earn combat value.

The purpose of this combat value was to upgrade his abilities!

And this was precisely the reason why Natsuya's Rokushiki were even stronger than Blueno's!

Otherwise, even if his physical fitness far exceeded that of ordinary people in this world, he could never rival geniuses like those in CP9.

Because those guys were true geniuses of the Rokushiki!

As for Natsuya, he had simply learned the techniques and then used his combat value to enhance them, allowing him to catch up to the progress of CP9 and even surpass Blueno.

Yet, even so, Natsuya had a flaw.

This flaw was the speed at which he learned new abilities.

In short, if he hadn't learned an ability yet, no matter how much combat value he had, he couldn't make bricks without straw.

Take Moonwalk, for example; since he hadn't learned it, he naturally couldn't use combat value to upgrade it.

Devil Fruits, however, perfectly circumvented Natsuya's flaw.

Because such skills didn't require learning at all; one simply had to eat the fruit to master them!

Just like at this moment, Natsuya had truly mastered the Door-Door Fruit ability!

Coming back to his senses, he didn't hesitate and immediately chose to upgrade the Door-Door Fruit ability.

Come to think of it, Natsuya's combat value had been accumulating for quite some time.

After all, once skills like Finger Pistol reached the top level, they could no longer be upgraded.

Since he hadn't learned Moonwalk, his combat value had just kept piling up, and after gaining some more from his recent battle with Blueno, the total was enough to raise the Door-Door Fruit from low-level to high-level!

It was worth noting that the cost of upgrading skills with combat value was determined by the level.

Upgrading from low to intermediate required only 100 combat value points, while upgrading from intermediate to high required 1,000 points—a tenfold increase.

And as it happened, the combat value Natsuya had saved up was just enough to take the Door-Door Fruit from low-level to high-level!

Thinking this, Natsuya didn't hesitate and immediately focused his mind.

The next moment, the suffix level of the Door-Door Fruit changed from low-level to intermediate, and then from intermediate to high-level!

At the same time, the sense of power within Natsuya surged and intensified countless times over.

Even without the record on the light screen, he could clearly sense the presence of the Door-Door Fruit ability within his body!

"Open Sesame!"

After sensing it for a moment, Natsuya turned his attention back to the outside world.

He pondered for a second, then smiled and reached out to grab the air in front of him.

In that instant, the empty air seemed to take on a physical form; he grasped it and gave it a light flick.

An air door appeared, and behind the door lay a green world.

"So this is the different dimension!?"

Natsuya raised an eyebrow.

Without a doubt, the ability he was currently using was the same "Air Door" that Blueno would use in the future.

This ability could open up a different dimension.

The user could then utilize this dimension to hide or move around.

However, Natsuya felt that the utility of this dimension was definitely not limited to just that.

Thinking this, he stepped forward.

The air door closed behind him, and Natsuya's figure vanished from the spot.

The next instant, he appeared in a vast, green-tinted world.

This world was actually the same place he had been before—on the pirate ship.

It was just that everything here was covered in a hazy layer of green, making it look as if it were separated by another world!

In fact, this was another world!

To Natsuya, this different dimension could be considered a parallel world to the pirate world.

It was just that the key to opening this parallel world was held by the user of the Door-Door Fruit!

Natsuya curled his lips into a smile, observing this different dimension while his imagination ran wild.

Blueno used this dimension for hiding and movement, but Natsuya felt that was thinking too small.

This different dimension could absolutely be used as a world-class, giant warehouse!

If you didn't have to worry about expiration dates, putting things inside would be the safest place imaginable!

Following this line of reasoning, hiding those great treasures in an alternate dimension would be the absolute best idea!

Because only by mastering the power of the Door-Door Fruit could one open this alternate dimension and retrieve the treasures!

Of course, for someone with vast assets, storing things this way might be worth considering, but for someone like Natsuya, the primary consideration was naturally the enhancement of combat power!

At this moment, a multitude of wild ideas on how to utilize this alternate dimension and the Door-Door Fruit's abilities to boost his combat strength surged into his mind!

Without further ado, he couldn't wait to start experimenting.
