Host Dies, System Lives!

Xia Luo always checked the calendar before going out, but he skipped it today and got hit by a real truck.

No, to be exact, the truck actively hit him!

As Xia Luo's body flew through the air in a parabola, a cold mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Host dies, system lives!"

"Beep, system activated, time-space travel initiated, coordinates: The Outcast."

"Phew, good thing it's The Outcast and not some 'Eye Legend' or 'King Nika'. The Outcast is great; it has cell phones, computers, internet, laws, and the key thing is that it's very safe. As long as you don't get mixed up in the plot and stay grounded, it's basically like moving to a different Earth."

With a dizzy spin and right before losing consciousness completely, Xia Luo thought that.

Sea Circle Calendar Year 1484.

West Blue, God Valley.

It was July, the scorching sun hung high, the sky was clear and vast, and it looked as smooth as a mirror.

Xia Luo stood on the peak of the mountain, facing the wind, and gazed at the distant horizon.

Time passed. About a few minutes later, on the distant sea surface, a few sesame-sized dots moved from far to near, growing larger and larger until they revealed their true appearances.

That was a navy fleet, white with blue patterns, and the military flag of a seagull holding a pair of scales fluttered in the wind.

As his gaze shifted, the massive figures of navy warships appeared in all other directions. Huge battlewagons cleaved the blue waves, charging toward God Valley from all directions in a surrounding formation.

"The navy is finally here..."

Gazing at the warships in the distance, Xia Luo's gaze was profound as he fell into memories.

At this very moment, a full year had passed since he was hit by the truck.

About a year ago, due to a system glitch and coordinate deviation, he transmigrated to the One Piece world and became ten-year-old Nico Xia Luo.

At the time of transmigration, the original body's parents had already passed away, leaving only an older sister and a twin brother, who were named Nico Olvia and Nico Oran respectively.

Ohara, Nico, Robin's future cheap uncle...

Thinking of Ohara's fate a dozen years later, Xia Luo embarked on a path of self-preservation.

To that end, Xia Luo prepared for a year and finally set foot on the land of God Valley a month ago, right before the Cipher Pol Agents arrived on the island.

Right now, God Valley was about to be destroyed, and Xia Luo might die in the battle. He was too weak at the moment, but he had a reason he had to come—the Devil Fruit of his dreams was here!

As everyone knew, there were quite a few god-tier Devil Fruits in the pirate world, but Xia Luo had his eyes set on only two.

One was the Logia Glint-Glint Fruit, which possessed the world's greatest speed; it could fight and run, allowing one to roam freely.

The other was the Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Fruit, hailed as the strongest Zoan. This fruit was even more monstrous, capable of fighting, flying, and withstanding damage, with the key point being that it was extremely cool!

Xia Luo had no idea where the Glint-Glint Fruit was right now, so no matter how much he craved it, he couldn't get his hands on it. However, what he did know was that as one of the prizes for the Celestial Dragons' hunting competition, the Azure Dragon Fruit was about to arrive in West Blue, at God Valley!

For the sake of the Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Fruit, Xia Luo had no choice but to take a risk.

Of course, he had prepared beforehand and wasn't simply coming here to throw his life away.

Speaking of which, he had to mention the damn system that caused Xia Luo's transmigration.

As a noble system-user transmigrator, Xia Luo came with a newbie gift pack. Inside the pack was one of the eight great extraordinary skills from The Outcast, the Six Treasury Immortal Thief.

The most important thing was that since it was produced by the system, no learning was required, and it automatically reached the mastery level. Furthermore, it was an upgraded version of the Six Treasury Immortal Thief; not only were all its abilities completely retained, but it also wouldn't cause a person to develop a desire to consume human flesh.

As one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, the Six Treasury Immortal Thief possessed many powerful abilities, the main ones being:

First, powerful digestion and energy conversion;

Second, corrosive attacks;

Third, super recovery and regeneration;

Fourth, devouring spiritual entities;

Fifth, physical enhancement and sensory elevation;

Sixth, delaying aging and concealing presence.

Putting aside the other abilities for the time being, the ability Xia Luo relied on most right now was concealing his presence. It could lower Xia Luo's sense of presence to the absolute minimum, causing people to subconsciously ignore him. As long as he didn't actively expose himself, it would be very difficult for others to discover him.

He had already verified this very well among the agents of the Cipher Pol organization.

Half a month ago, a large number of Cipher Pol Agents infiltrated God Valley in disguise, followed by large batches of supplies, including food, weapons, ammunition, and other items.

In addition to that, several thousand slaves were shipped to the island in batches and locked up in a valley on the east coast.

Three days ago, Cipher Pol Agents suddenly monitored and took control of the king and high-ranking officials of God Valley.

Then, under the guise of the king, they mobilized the kingdom's guards.

Immediately afterward, the Cipher Pol Agents laid out a massive network of surveillance Den Den Mushi all over the island.

At the same time, they had people clear out an open space in the woods outside the royal capital, where they built a high platform and a luxurious temporary palace.

At the same time, several warehouses were built around the high platform to store the supplies arriving successively.

Xia Luo suspected that the target of his trip was likely among them.

Unfortunately, the security right now was too strict, with Cipher Pol Agents taking turns standing guard twenty-four hours a day, coupled with surveillance Den Den Mushi covering the surroundings; even Xia Luo could not get close.

"Hehe, those scum wearing bubble hoods are right on the warship!"

Xia Luo slowly lowered the binoculars in his hand, his gaze filled with contempt, and his words made no effort to conceal his disgust for the Celestial Dragons.

A bunch of scum who committed every imaginable crime, had no bottom line, and were utterly disgusting!

After muttering a couple of curses, Xia Luo turned and left directly.

The Celestial Dragons were about to arrive.

Then, the various factions should have already received the news; the Rocks Pirates and Roger Pirates were on their way, and the grand curtain was about to rise...

Soon,

Xia Luo arrived at the east coast of God Valley, outside the valley where the slaves were imprisoned.

For the past half a month, Xia Luo had been searching for the traces of the Marine prison ship, solely to find the two people on board: Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma.

Also three days ago, the Marine prison ship arrived at God Valley.

Thousands of slaves were escorted off the ship by the Marines and handed over to Cipher Pol Agents.

Among thousands of slaves, wanting to find Bartholomew Kuma was very difficult.

Fortunately, the future Queen of Kamabakka Kingdom, Ivankov, and the present Little Ivan had very high recognition. With his large head, purple afro, floral vest, and floral shorts, he stood in the crowd like a lamp, flashy and flamboyant, and could be recognized at a glance.

The strong-bodied, simple-looking teenager next to Ivankov was most likely Bartholomew Kuma.

As expected of the Buccaneer Tribe, nine-year-old Bartholomew Kuma was already tall and big; if not for his childish face, no one would believe his age.

After finding the two of them, the hanging heart in Xia Luo's chest finally settled down.

Over the next few days, as long as he kept following Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma, he would be able to find the Azure Dragon Fruit!

In the original work, Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma took advantage of the chaos to snatch a few treasure chests, which shockingly contained the Zoan, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Fruit and the Paramecia, Paw-Paw Fruit.

In the end, the Paw-Paw Fruit was eaten by Bartholomew Kuma, but the Azure Dragon Fruit was ruthlessly snatched away by Charlotte Linlin.

However, before Charlotte Linlin even had time to warm up the Azure Dragon Fruit, she was ambushed by Kaido, who snatched the Azure Dragon Fruit from her.

It truly lived up to the old saying: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

So, all Xia Luo needed to do was closely follow Ivankov, snatch the fruit from him at the very first moment and eat it, never giving anyone else the chance to be the oriole behind!
