All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 181 Template Selection
"Another point is that the classes in this dungeon are very homogeneous. Apart from the passive skills and Devil Fruits, there are no other options for the three minor skills unless you don't want to become a top powerhouse on the high seas!"

This time, the career options seem very open, with countless combinations and the ability to customize and choose minor skills.

But actually, there's no choice at all for the minor skills!

In the One Piece universe, what is the power that transcends everything? Kaido, the master mentor whose staff can unleash Conqueror's Haki, has already provided the answer!

That is: domineering!

Only domineering power reigns supreme over everything!
There are three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki, each of which is a minor skill. In other words, unless you can tolerate having a weak Haki or train Haki yourself, these three minor skills are a must-have!

It seems to have countless combinations.

Ultimately, it all boils down to one combination: passive physical constitution, three types of Haki, and a Devil Fruit. Everything else, whether swordsmanship or physical skills, must be learned through personal training.

The three-color domineering aura can be maxed out, which is the player's only chance to become the strongest in this game.

If you choose other skills and rely on your own training to cultivate Haki, you will eventually find that Haki is extremely difficult to cultivate, and Conqueror's Haki will be completely lost if you do not choose any skills.

You can't cultivate it through the day after tomorrow!
In any case, the experience summarized by countless players on Blue Star is that "three colors of Haki" must be selected. Only by maxing out Haki can one hope to become a strong person. If you don't select Haki, even if your swordsmanship and physical skills are maxed out, you will still be a noob!
Or rather, the One Piece system only consists of stats and Haki.

Physical techniques, sword skills, and the like are all garbage. Even if you practice them to perfection, they can't compare to a single "Conqueror's Haki Entanglement." In fact, most Devil Fruits are like that!

"I believe that what suits you best is the best!"

After Zhou Wushang finished speaking, he chose the "Rumble-Rumble Fruit" as his Devil Fruit!
This is the strongest natural-type lightning power. After bringing the lightning power back to Blue Star, it can be integrated into "Peerless Heavenly Wrath". This will not only enhance its power, but also allow it to be used in combination with Chu Xiu.

Whether in terms of support or attack capabilities, it is top-notch.

For her physical model, she chose the "steel balloon"!
With the template's support, the natural strength exceeds 1000, and with the added strength, it can even reach 1200. After reaching the maximum value of level nine, it can easily break through 10,000, which is basically the limit of the fifth-tier dungeon!
"A steel balloon plus the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and then he walks the path of a great swordsman?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Wushang nodded and said, "The passive ability that enhances stats is perfect because we don't need to bring it out, so we don't have to worry about which one to discard during the settlement!"

She can only take second place; out of five skills—passive, three minor skills, and ultimate—she can only take down four.

Therefore, it is necessary to make a choice.

However, this kind of passive, purely numerical value without any mechanism doesn't need to be selected, because selecting it is useless—the attribute value calculation will directly take away the attribute bonus!
"not bad!"

Even someone who knew the original story would agree with Zhou Wushang's choice.

With the strongest physique, the strongest Logia-type, and her "cracked" comprehension, she becomes a great swordsman, possesses maxed-out three types of Haki, and awakens the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, which didn't appear in the original work!

Chu Xiu was very much looking forward to seeing how far he could grow.

"What are you going to choose?" Zhou Wushang asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what I choose. No matter how weak the fruit is, even if it's a Mud Fruit, I can still make it take off, fly into space, and become a 'star' by relying on my talent!"

Others might worry that choosing the Gum-Gum Fruit might prevent them from turning into Nika.

He absolutely cannot.

If he chooses the Gum-Gum Fruit, he can not only become the sun god Nika, but he can also continue to evolve into the god of stars, and even the god of light!
However, once the limits are broken, other fruits may not necessarily be weaker.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit can make him a thunder god, allow him to master the four fundamental forces of the universe, and even... he can develop unimaginable power from some of the comedic fruits in the original work!

The only difficulty lies in upgrading.

And when it comes to upgrading, his domineering aura is limitless.

We don't necessarily have to rely on the fruit to awaken!

"Since it doesn't really matter which one I choose, then... I'll choose you!" Chu Xiu said, choosing the "Chop-Chop Fruit" for his Devil Fruit ability!
That's right, it's a fruit that's quite funny in the original work.

The audience even joked that once awakened, it could shatter the entire pirate world and was the ultimate fruit capable of destroying the world. Chu Xiu didn't know if it was that powerful after awakening, but he felt that he should be able to shatter the world!
One awakening isn't enough, then try a second awakening; if a second awakening isn't enough, then try a third!
Anyway, he can upgrade indefinitely.

"The Chop-Chop Fruit?" Zhou Wushang frowned upon hearing this. "But experts on Earth analyzed that because of that fruit's power, Buggy's physical skills and swordsmanship couldn't improve. He went from being able to hold his own against Shanks to becoming a weakling who couldn't beat anyone." She worried that Chu Xiu might be too reckless and waste his first life.

While you can still acquire the Heavenly Marks and basic attributes, you will no longer be able to acquire skills.

"Don't worry, as long as I level up, my attributes will keep increasing, and I don't need to cultivate!" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "As for physique, let's choose a mediocre one, hmm, the Whitebeard Physique!"

Then, skills were selected.

His initial game panel was quickly generated.

[Name: Chu Xiu (Phase 1)]

[Physical Template: Whitebeard]

【Level: 0】

【Strength: 1000】

[Agility: 1000]

【Spirit: 1000】

[Stamina: 1000]

[Skills: Giant's Strength (Passive), Armament Haki Lv0, Observation Haki Lv0, Conqueror's Haki Lv0, Chop to Pieces (Unawakened)]

[Bounty: None]

[Available Points: None]

Its base attributes are the same as the "steel balloon" that Zhou Wushang chose, both being one thousand. In terms of numerical value alone, it is even higher than Chu Xiu's original body.

As for the growth rate at each level, it is also one thousand.

This is a leap in world level. With such high four-dimensional growth, Chu Xiu's original attributes are almost negligible. Even Treon's thousands of four-dimensional attributes would be just average in this world.

After all, there are monsters here that can smash an island with their bare hands!

What truly sets Chu Xiu apart is his cultivation level, which spans millions of years!

The passive Giant's Might doesn't have any fancy effects; it simply grants higher stats at level zero, and its growth is even greater with each level.

Players who choose passive mechanics may only have base stats of tens or hundreds, and their growth potential is also lower.

Other than that, there is no difference.

Because it's part of a class template, the three-color aura will be displayed at level zero, but it's unusable. The ultimate skill actually has two states: awakened and unawakened.

After adding the ultimate move, the Devil Fruit will awaken.

Before unleashing their ultimate abilities, they can only use the most basic Devil Fruit powers, the specific effects of which depend on their base attributes and how well they develop their Devil Fruit abilities.

"Next, it's time to acquire skill points and level up!"

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu looked at the ways to obtain skill points—hunting bounty players was the first thing he ruled out, since players didn't have any bounties now, so hunting them would be useless.

No skill points were earned from kills in this game.

As for defeating the top experts on the sea and obtaining the "Emperor's Medal," if he had a second life, Chu Xiu would naturally have no pressure. He could wipe out the entire sea in one move, leaving no more top experts on the sea.

But I couldn't do that with my first life.

There's only one way to quickly acquire skill points: increase your bounty as much as possible. Every hundred million bounties earns you one skill point, and bounties at the level of the Four Emperors directly grant you dozens of skill points, allowing you to take off in one fell swoop!
"So the question is, what would it take to warrant a bounty from the navy?"
