Gold Reward! Hulk Banner!

Bellamy had a crop of short yellow hair, dark skin, prominent cheekbones, and no eyebrows. His eyes were wide, and there were traces of healed stitching scars on his face.

Though only fourteen, Bellamy's height already exceeded 1.8 meters. Standing before Aeneas, he looked like an adult. It was hard to imagine these two differed by only five years—though for adolescents experiencing extremely rapid growth, such sudden development was quite normal.

The moment Bellamy turned his head from a distance and noticed Aeneas, Aeneas froze.

It was not because of Bellamy, but because he had triggered an "Encounter Reward" once again!

During his first encounter reward, Aeneas had run into Demon Bamboo Vergo, directly obtaining the gold reward One-Punch Man Trial Card, which allowed Aeneas to survive the most perilous Dunkirk.

For his second encounter reward, he merely met Miss Goldenweek, and the silver reward drawn was Ma Liang's Magic Brush—Aeneas had no interest in such items and gave it straight to Marianne. He had no other purpose than to leave a good impression on the future little girl of Miss Goldenweek.

Having long heard of the Spring Man Bellamy of Tinos, Aeneas finally encountered him in person today!

"Congratulations to the host for encountering an original famed character. The maximum fame value of 'Spring Man Bellamy' is 5,034, reaching the 'making a name for himself' tier. The host receives one gold-tier draw opportunity!"

"I remember Vergo was over four thousand before. Is Bellamy actually higher than Vergo?"

First of all, Bellamy's strength was definitely not greater than Vergo's. However, the draw system emphasized a fame mechanic. Bellamy was later defeated by Luffy, and afterward ventured all the way into the New World to reach Dressrosa.

It was understandable that his fame could surpass Vergo's.

"Another gold reward. I hope it gives me a surprise!" Aeneas rubbed his palms together, directly prompting the system to use the draw opportunity in his consciousness.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing a gold-tier reward, character category: Hulk Banner!"

"What?" Aeneas was dumbfounded, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating. Could this be the Hulk from the Marvel movies in my memory?

Ever since he first drew the One-Punch Man Trial Card, Aeneas had suspected that this system was not actually restricted to the world of One Piece.

Yet his subsequent daily draws had basically all been bronze rewards, filled with various dispensable items—sometimes directly rewarding Berries, to the point where Aeneas even felt Berries were more worthwhile.

However, the silver reward had altered Aeneas's preconceived mindset.

Although most categories in the draw system were related to the world of One Piece—such as explicitly listing the Haki and Devil Fruit categories—Aeneas had actually drawn either special items, equipment items, or occupational skill items.

Perhaps my level wasn't high enough. Haki is high-end stuff; it's impossible for me to draw it in bronze or silver tiers, Aeneas had reasoned to himself, and the same applied to Devil Fruits.

Yet whether it was the Essence Breathing Technique or Ma Liang's Magic Brush, neither had any connection to the world of One Piece. Only then did Aeneas dare to conclude, Not only can this draw system let me experience the thrill of being a pirate, but who knows, maybe it will let me indulge in the thrill of being a ninja someday!

Now, even the Hulk from the original Marvel Universe had appeared.

"Wait, there should be limits, right?" Aeneas asked the system. "Where is Banner coming from? And how are you going to patch the plot hole regarding gamma rays?"

The system's reply came in response.

"Bruce Banner will arrive by the host's side within one hour. His background has been implanted into the world, and his ability to turn into the Hulk caused by gamma rays has been retconned into the 'Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Hulk Form'!"

"It's actually a Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit!"

Aeneas was astonished. In the original work, there were several very famous Human-Human Fruit users, with Chopper from the protagonist's crew being a prime example.

"But that was an animal eating the Human-Human Fruit, not a Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit," Aeneas thought to himself. "Take the current Fleet Admiral, Buddha Sengoku!"

Where did Buddha Sengoku's title come from?

It came from Sengoku's Devil Fruit ability: the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Daibutsu Form!

And the Hulk form was simply another variation of the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan. In other words—would Bruce Banner's ultimate achievements rival Sengoku's?

Thinking of this, Aeneas felt somewhat excited, because character-class rewards drawn from the system would be absolutely loyal to him.

"Clearly that's not the case. It just possesses the Hulk's potential." Aeneas remained relatively calm. "This is the real reason it was rated as 'gold-tier'. While it might not seem comparable to the initial One-Punch Man Trial Card, which could solve nearly one hundred percent of my difficulties in the pirate world..."

"Since this reward is also rated as gold-tier, this Hulk Banner will definitely give me a surprise." Aeneas was somewhat excited, unable to wait to meet Bruce Banner, a character he had also loved very much in the movies from his past life.

Whether it was the original scientist Bruce or the transformed Hulk Banner, both were truly remarkable.

There was still one hour until Bruce Banner's appearance.

Meanwhile, Bellamy before Aeneas had no intention of waiting, and upon seeing Aeneas appear, he showed great interest.

"Boss." Soon, two other brats appeared behind Bellamy: one with blue hair wearing sunglasses, gripping a kukri knife—in Aeneas's eyes, that was simply a kukri knife; the other was a tall, hood-wearing man with no eyebrows.

They were part of Bellamy's crew, all merely teenagers in their teens.

Interestingly, Aeneas was too.

Right now, Central Circle Street, renowned as a killing ground, had actually been reduced to just a few brats confronting one another?

"Yo." Bellamy looked at Aeneas, the corners of his mouth curving upward as he spoke without turning his head, "Are those Sarquis and Lillis?"

"Hehe!" The two stood behind Bellamy, looking at Aeneas with curious expressions.

"Who's this brat?" Sarquis licked his lips, tossing his blue hair in a very flashy manner, and then said to Bellamy, "Aren't we supposed to go find Kham's gang?"

"You guys go on ahead. I want to recruit this guy." Bellamy gazed intently at Aeneas. "The Harbor's Mighty Brat, I've heard of you!"

Sarquis and Lillis simply curled their lips and left, paying no mind to whatever Bellamy wanted to do.

Aeneas, however, furrowed his brow.

"The Harbor's Mighty Brat?"

What kind of lousy title was that!

Aeneas hastily checked his fame value and found that it really had increased by over a hundred points, but this title was far too tacky.

Thank goodness this is in Tinos. Calling me the One Punch Man would have been fine too. What's with 'Mighty Brat'? Aeneas once again subconsciously ignored the fact that he was actually a nine-year-old child.

At that moment, however, Bellamy suddenly revealed murderous intent, his arms compressing into gray springs as he charged straight at Aeneas!
