At that moment.
Blueno finally understood why Natsuya's Rokushiki was stronger than his!
It was because Natsuya's Finger Pistol had actually developed into the Flying Finger Pistol!
From this small glimpse, if even Natsuya's Finger Pistol was so strong, how weak could his other Rokushiki techniques possibly be!?
Wait, could it be that he knew Geppo too!?
"Damn it!"
At that thought, fear rose in Blueno's heart. He glared fiercely at Natsuya, then immediately turned around and fled through the air without looking back!
"Oh, you're leaving already? How boring."
Seeing this, Natsuya curled his lips into a smile.
In fact, Blueno had overthought things.
Although Natsuya had mastered the Flying Finger Pistol and his other Rokushiki techniques were stronger than Blueno's, he really did not know Geppo.
If Blueno had been a little smarter and fought from high above in midair, Natsuya truly would not have been able to do anything about him.
Especially if he attacked the pirate ship and sank it, Natsuya might have lost to him then.
But now, Blueno had clearly outsmarted himself. The moment he sensed something was wrong, he immediately fled!
That meant the Door-Door Fruit naturally belonged to Natsuya now.
Of course.
Letting Blueno escape like this might also bring Natsuya major trouble.
Because Blueno was very likely to make a false accusation first.
When that time came, Natsuya would be in trouble. He might even be wanted by the World Government.
But compared to what he stood to gain, such a price seemed acceptable.
With that thought, Natsuya looked at the Door-Door Fruit again.
Its dull gray color, strange spiral patterns, and square shape...
It should indeed be the Door-Door Fruit.
"From now on, I am the new Door-Door Fruit user."
Natsuya smiled. Without further hesitation, he stuffed the Door-Door Fruit into his mouth.
Because of the rumors, he did not savor it and simply swallowed it in a few bites.
Even so, the taste still spread through his mouth, darkening Natsuya's expression.
But soon, his spirits lifted.
At that moment, Natsuya vaguely felt that something had appeared within his body.
Without a doubt, it was the power of the Door-Door Fruit!
If it had been anyone else, they would probably have needed to test it before confirming the existence of their Devil Fruit ability.
But Natsuya did not need to go through that trouble.
With a thought, a screen immediately appeared in his mind.
[Host]: Natsuya [Race]: Human [Strength]: 100 [Agility]: 80 [Spirit]: 120 [Constitution]: 110 [The average four-dimensional attributes of an ordinary human are 10] [Battle Points]: 1100 [Skills]: Finger Pistol [Top Level] Iron Body [Top Level] Tempest Kick [Top Level] Paper Art [Top Level] Shave [Top Level] Door-Door Fruit [Low Level 0%] ...
When he saw that the Door-Door Fruit had truly appeared on the screen, a smile immediately surfaced in Natsuya's eyes.
This screen was the System Screen!
Every transmigrator had a system, and Natsuya was no exception.
His system was called the Combat Value System.
During battle, Natsuya gained Battle Points.
The purpose of Battle Points was to upgrade abilities!
And that was precisely why Natsuya's Rokushiki was even stronger than Blueno's!
Otherwise, even if his physical qualities far surpassed those of ordinary people in this world, he could not have matched geniuses like CP9.
Because those people were genuine Rokushiki geniuses!
As for Natsuya, after successfully learning an ability, he merely used Battle Points to enhance it, thereby catching up to CP9's progress and even surpassing Blueno.
Even so, Natsuya had a weakness.
That weakness was the speed of his learning ability.
Put simply, if he had not learned an ability, then no matter how many Battle Points he possessed, he could not make something from nothing.
Take Geppo, for example. Since he had not learned it, he naturally could not use Battle Points to upgrade it.
Devil Fruits, however, neatly bypassed Natsuya's weakness.
Because this kind of skill did not need to be learned. By simply eating it, one could master it!
Just like at this moment, Natsuya had truly mastered the Door-Door Fruit ability!
Coming back to his senses, he did not hesitate and immediately chose to upgrade the Door-Door Fruit ability.
Speaking of which, Natsuya had accumulated Battle Points for quite some time.
After all, skills like Finger Pistol could no longer be improved once they reached the top level.
He had not learned Geppo either, so his Battle Points had continued accumulating. He had also gained some from fighting Blueno just now. Together, they were already enough to raise the Door-Door Fruit from low level to high level!
It was worth mentioning that the number of Battle Points required to upgrade a skill depended on its level.
Advancing from low level to intermediate level required only 100 Battle Points, while advancing from intermediate level to high level required 1,000 Battle Points, increasing tenfold each time.
And Natsuya happened to have accumulated enough Battle Points to raise the Door-Door Fruit from low level to high level!
With that thought, Natsuya did not hesitate and immediately willed it to happen.
In the next instant, the Door-Door Fruit's level changed from low level to intermediate level, then from intermediate level to high level!
At the same time, the sensation of power within Natsuya's body suddenly intensified countless times over.
Even without the System Screen's record, he could clearly sense the Door-Door Fruit ability inside his body!
"Open sesame!"
After sensing it briefly, Natsuya turned his attention back to the outside world.
After pondering for a second, he smiled and reached out to grab the air before him.
In that instant, the formless air seemed to gain substance. He seized it and gently pulled it open.
An Air Door appeared. Beyond it lay a green world.
"This is the Different Dimension!?"
Natsuya raised an eyebrow.
Without a doubt, the ability he had just used was the Air Door that Blueno would use in the future.
This ability could open a Different Dimension.
And its user could use that Different Dimension to hide and move about.
But Natsuya felt that this Different Dimension's purpose was definitely not limited to that.
With that thought, he immediately stepped forward.
The Air Door closed behind him, and Natsuya's figure instantly vanished from where he stood.
In the next moment, he appeared in a vast green world.
This world was actually the same as the place where he had originally been: it was still aboard the pirate ship.
It was just that everything here was shrouded in a hazy layer of green, making it seem as if it were separated by an entire world!
In fact, this was another world!
In Natsuya's view, this Different Dimension could be considered a parallel world of the Pirate World.
It was simply that the key to opening this parallel world was held by the Door-Door Fruit user!
Natsuya curled his lips into a smile. As he observed this Different Dimension, his imagination began to run wild.
Blueno used this Different Dimension to hide and move around, but Natsuya felt that was still thinking too small.
This Different Dimension could completely serve as a world-class giant warehouse!
If things were stored inside, then disregarding shelf life, it would absolutely be the safest place possible!
Following that line of thought, storing great treasures in the Different Dimension would definitely be the best idea!
Because only someone who possessed the Door-Door Fruit ability could open this Different Dimension and retrieve the treasures!
Of course, storage was something worth considering if one had a great family fortune. For someone like Natsuya, what he mainly needed to consider was naturally improving his combat strength!
And at that moment, countless ideas suddenly sprang into his mind about using this Different Dimension and the Door-Door Fruit ability to improve his combat strength!
Next, he could not wait to begin testing them.
