Marine Headquarters base.
Roya took off the coat embedded with the rank of lieutenant commander, strolled to the coat rack by the window, and hung it up.
A group of recruits ran past outside the window shouting slogans, scattering sweat all over the ground.
A cool sea breeze blew slowly into the room, taking away the summer heat.
Roya stretched, turned around, and lay down, comfortably resting his head on his arms, feeling drowsy.
Traveling through this world... it's been almost three years, hasn't it?
In his daze, his encounters over the past three years surfaced in his mind.
Back then, having inexplicably traveled to this One Piece world, he was truly scared to death.
You must know that this world was very unfriendly to ordinary people, filled with pirates everywhere!
And most of them were vicious pirates who would kill you at the drop of a hat!
Kind pirates like the Straw Hat Luffy were rare animals.
For self-preservation, Roya joined the Marines and later entered the Marine Academy.
After three years of training, he finally had some self-preservation ability.
And he had also unexpectedly awakened a special power.
Conqueror's Haki!
This power, which only one in a million people might possess, caused a sensation within Marine Headquarters.
Roya was thus directly promoted from second lieutenant to Marine lieutenant commander.
However.
What surprised him the most was not the promotion of his military rank, nor even the awakening of Conqueror's Haki.
It was the activation of the system!
[Ding! The Automatic Cultivation System has successfully bound to the host!] [Host: Roya] [Six Powers - Soru (Ability Strength): Beginner] [Conqueror's Haki (Ability Strength): Beginner]
On the day he unexpectedly awakened Conqueror's Haki, the system's mechanical prompt sound abruptly rang in his mind.
As a transmigrator, Roya naturally knew what this was all about.
Suppressing his excitement, he returned to his quarters with a calm expression before he began to carefully check the system functions.
"Automatic Cultivation System."
"As long as I master a certain ability or meet the prerequisites for training a certain ability, can I establish the corresponding cultivation project and open the automatic cultivation mode?"
"In addition to that, unexpectedly triggered events can also establish cultivation projects?"
"After the ability cultivation reaches the max level, will I also obtain... mysterious rewards?!"
Roya's eyes glowed as he read.
Not only could the abilities he mastered cultivate automatically, but after reaching the max level in cultivation, there were mysterious rewards waiting for him!
Where could you find such a good thing?
"System, tell me quickly, do I have any established cultivation projects right now?" Roya asked somewhat eagerly.
The system reacted quickly and gave the answer directly.
[The host's currently established cultivation projects are: Six Powers - Soru cultivation project; Conqueror's Haki cultivation project!]
"Both of these are abilities I have already mastered." Roya nodded.
His talent was ordinary. After training hard for a full three years, he had only barely mastered Soru and Finger Pistol among the Six Powers.
"It looks like I need to work even harder in my training from now on!"
"I must master the other five styles as soon as possible!"
Roya clenched his fists and made a decision inwardly.
Starting from that day.
He doubled his training efforts, and finally, after more than three months, successfully mastered all of the Six Powers abilities, all of which reached the intermediate level.
Meanwhile, Conqueror's Haki, which had started automatic cultivation the earliest, also reached the intermediate level a few days ago, allowing him to freely control it.
"According to the system's explanation, apart from a few special abilities, the strength of most abilities is divided into: beginner, intermediate, advanced, top-tier, and max level!"
"The automatic cultivation speed of each ability is related to the strength of that ability."
"The Six Powers abilities only take about a month and a half to reach intermediate, but Conqueror's Haki takes more than three months."
"As for the other two of the Three Haki Colors, Armament Haki and Observation Haki, I don't even know the specific cultivation methods..."
Roya got up somewhat irritably, his sleepiness completely dissipating.
He knew the training principles for Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but he didn't know the specific systematic cultivation methods.
Both of these abilities required a master to guide you through the door.
Besides, his own talent was ordinary, and trying to comprehend them on his own was very, very difficult.
I must find an opportunity to learn these two types of Haki! Roya thought secretly, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
Out on the parade ground.
Recruits who had been enlisted for less than a year were still running back and forth under the scorching sun for drills.
Three years ago, Roya was also one of them.
"Whoa!"
Suddenly, a recruit in the parade ground dashed over a hundred meters away as if teleporting.
This is... he mastered the Six Powers - Soru! Roya felt a moment of astonishment as he watched the ecstatic recruit outside.
Talent is really something that defies reason!
He had trained hard for a full three years just to barely master two of the Six Powers.
Someone else had trained for less than a year after enlisting and mastered Soru; that was probably what a genius was?
It doesn't matter, so what if he's a genius? As long as I successfully establish a cultivation project, even a genius will be surpassed by me!
Far from being discouraged, Roya became even more spirited and combative.
Right at that moment, the system's mechanical prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[The host has been stimulated by a genius, causing fighting spirit to rise significantly!] [The Six Powers abilities have been infected by the host's fighting spirit, resolving to train even harder!] [Ding! The automatic cultivation speed of all Six Powers abilities has increased tenfold!]
Roya was stunned at first.
Then he could feel the strength of the Six Powers abilities within his body continuously increasing!
Originally, he couldn't perceive such subtle changes.
This was clearly the effect brought about by a tenfold surge in the cultivation speed of the Six Powers abilities.
"What's going on? The abilities were infected by my fighting spirit? Could it be that they even have thoughts and emotions?"
Pleasantly surprised, Roya hurriedly asked the system for details, only to discover that these abilities possessed basic emotions and could also perceive changes in the outside world.
When the external stimuli they received reached a certain level, their emotions would fluctuate, thereby triggering various unexpected events.
An increase in cultivation speed was one of them!
If feelings exist, even heaven must grow old! This is truly incredible. Roya sighed with joyful emotion.
Abilities having emotions meant that he would still have many opportunities in the future to keep increasing the cultivation speed of his abilities!
I can try stimulating Conqueror's Haki again!
Having tasted sweetness, Roya immediately started plotting against Conqueror's Haki.
This was the strongest ability he currently possessed.
If he could cultivate Conqueror's Haki to an extremely high level, he would be able to use Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Its power far surpassed Armament Haki Infusion!
Unfortunately.
No matter how he tried or stimulated it, Conqueror's Haki showed no reaction at all.
Perhaps the tier of Conqueror's Haki is too high, and emotional changes don't occur easily? Roya guessed with a frown.
Just as he was racking his brains to consider how to stimulate Conqueror's Haki.
A shout came from outside the door.
"Lieutenant Commander Roya, Vice Admiral Garp requests to see you!"
