Under One Person, the system says I'm the Pirate King.

Looking at the series of system notifications.

Qin Lang fell into deep thought once again.

Although he successfully obtained the rewards for the previous tasks, he no longer doubted the authenticity of his system.

But the new task that came up next did not make him happy.

The new task is to recruit your first partner: Perona.

The biggest problem at hand is that Qin Lang doesn't know who the system is referring to as Perona.

The first task was issued because the system mistook Feng Baobao for Nico Robin, which means that the system must have also mistook someone in this world for Perona before issuing this second task.

Secondly, Qin Lang felt that even if he knew who Perona was, it wouldn't be easy to win her over to his side.

Because in the original One Piece manga, this girl was a former Shichibukai and a subordinate of Gecko Moria. Later, she was sent flying to Kuraigana Island by Kuma and stayed with Mihawk. During the two years that the main characters trained, she also had an ambiguous relationship with Zoro.

In the world of supernatural beings, such a character would at least be an elite member of a major sect or organization, such as Bai Shixue, Zhi Jinhua, or even Feng Shayan.

How could a nobody like me possibly recruit someone like that to join my team?

Moreover, recruiting teammates right from the start, does the system want me to start my own business?

This world of supernatural beings is not like the world of One Piece, where you can just set up a sect whenever you want!

Qin Lang looked at his system interface with a puzzled expression.

Just then, a loud roar interrupted his thoughts:

"Don't come any closer!!"

The voice of Zhang Chulan could be heard from not far away.

This gave Qin Lang, who hadn't had much of a clue before, a new idea.

While browsing the system interface, he noticed a feature called "Bonds".

You can gain bond points as long as you form a bond with a character recognized by the system.

For example, the system notification that the hatred value with Nico Robin increased by 18 means that a bond has been formed.

This means that as long as you interact with other people, you can determine which pirate the system has identified as based on the changes in their hatred or favorability values ​​indicated by the system's tasks or reminders.

Additionally, Bond Points are equivalent to currency in the system shop.

As the system just reminded me.

After you use up the random Devil Fruit trial card, the trial card for that fruit will be automatically put on the store.

System tasks and in-game store lotteries only offer random Devil Fruit trial cards.

In other words, if you want to buy a specific Devil Fruit trial card, you can only do so through the in-game store.

Qin Lang felt that his luck probably wasn't good enough to randomly get the fruit he needed every time.

Therefore, completing more tasks to increase the variety of fruit experience cards in the shop, and interacting with more people to earn affinity points are the things you should do most.

Having figured this out, he felt that even if he couldn't recruit "Perona," it was still necessary to make more contact with others.

For example, Zhang Chulan, who is currently calling for help.

As the protagonist of the Under One Person comic, he shouldn't be just a random passerby. Maybe the "Perona" the system mentioned is him!

After all, he hasn't figured out yet what standards the system uses to account for characters in the two worlds.

Although going back might mean encountering Feng Baobao again.

However, I currently have 180 bond points, which allows me to purchase a trial card for "Bird Fruit - Falcon Form" from the shop, which costs 100 bond points.

If things turn against you, you can transform into a falcon again and escape.

Thinking of this, Qin Lang suddenly remembered that he hadn't used the lottery chances from the newbie gift pack and mission rewards because he was in such a hurry to escape.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately opened the lottery page of the system store and used eleven lottery chances in one go.

【恭喜宿主获得钱币584贝利、随机恶魔果实体验卡1张、钱币492贝利、随机恶魔果实体验卡1张、钱币656贝利、随机恶魔果实碎片1片、钱币287贝利、钱币897贝利、随机恶魔果实体验卡1张、钱币950贝利、随机恶魔果实体验卡1张。】

Random Devil Fruit fragments are now available in the shop.

Although he was a little confused when he saw a bunch of coins denominated in "Belly" and didn't know what they were for, the four new random Devil Fruit trial cards gave Qin Lang confidence.

What delighted him most was that the random Devil Fruit fragment he had just drawn was now available in the shop.

This means that it is possible for me to possess a Devil Fruit as well.

He already knew from reading the system instructions that while the trial card was good, it was only a temporary measure.

Not only is the trial card time-limited, but it also prevents the awakening of Devil Fruit abilities.

This means that to truly possess the most powerful Devil Fruit abilities, one must possess a Devil Fruit themselves.

Bond value becomes especially important.

As for the "Pele" that I don't understand, I'll talk about it later. Right now, it's more important to get in touch with Zhang Chulan first.

Without hesitation, he immediately used a random experience card.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a String-String Fruit trial card (3 minutes).]

[During use, the host can freely manipulate the threads according to their understanding of the fruit's abilities. If other Devil Fruits or trial cards are used, this trial card will immediately become invalid.]

"what?"

Qin Lang was taken aback when he saw that it was a trial card for the String-String Fruit.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but smile.

As the system says, to maximize the effect of the trial card, the user must have a sufficient understanding of the fruit's ability.

Qin Lang knew the original plot of One Piece.

In the original work, Doflamingo demonstrated almost all the abilities of the String-String Fruit.

Now Qin Lang no longer needs to spend time trying them one by one.

Once you get your hands on it, you can unleash all the fruit's power.

The instant he thought this, he had already wrapped the line between the trees and stepped on it to begin a rapid "low-altitude flight".

Of course, the reason it's described as "low-altitude flight" instead of "flying" like in the original One Piece manga is because it's described as "low-altitude flight".

It's because Qin Lang's combat strength is only 15 points right now.

[Combat Power] is a value that affects one's base stats, the power of Devil Fruits, and the duration of trial cards.

For example, Qin Lang previously earned the title of "Trainee Crew Member," which provided him with 5 combat points, allowing him to use a one-minute trial card.

Now that my combat power has increased to 15 points, the trial card's duration has also increased to 3 minutes.

At the same time, combat strength will also limit the power of the fruit.

For example, the length of the line is limited, making it impossible to tie it to clouds for high-altitude flight; the parasitic line can only parasitize ten targets; and powerful moves like the birdcage are simply unusable.

But that was enough for Qin Lang.

The amazing experience of "flying" on the silk threads made him marvel once again at the power of Devil Fruits.

The silk thread in your hand is as easy to control as your own hands and feet, so there's no need to worry about it falling.

Moreover, as combat power increases, one's strength, speed, and balance also improve significantly.

If you encounter danger, you should be able to escape unscathed without any problems.

Overjoyed, he quickly arrived above Zhang Huaiyi's grave.
