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

Qin Lang only thought that Zhang Lingyu in the original work also got second place, but he obtained the Tongtian Talisman.

If you manage things well, completing the Flame-Flame Fruit mission should be quite easy.

After all, he only needed the system to recognize him as its own; he didn't actually need to cultivate the Heavenly Talisman.

Now, Qin Lang's thinking is somewhat different from his initial idea.

Qin Lang's initial idea was to acquire all eight extraordinary skills for his own use.

However, after a month of practice, Qin Lang discovered that while his talent in Qi cultivation was not weak, it was certainly not high either.

On the contrary, they have a great advantage and have made great progress in the development of fruit abilities.

Moreover, thanks to the system's support, there are many areas where one can reach a level that others cannot achieve without personal effort.

For example, through killing the man in black before, Qin Lang already knew that killing someone identified by the system as a certain character would yield that character's fruit and awakening card.

In the world of One Piece, the SMILE Fruit was originally unawakenable.

Therefore, the awakening card obtained did not change the SMILE fruit's abilities much; it only removed all its negative effects.

Even after removing the negative effects, it was still a piece of trash that was unbearable to look at. However, this incident made Qin Lang realize that he did not need to work hard to cultivate his fruit to awaken.

As long as you continuously build bonds with people, complete tasks, and improve your combat power.

As your combat strength increases, the system will unlock more functions.

They will awaken naturally in time.

But it's different if you cultivate the techniques of the supernatural world yourself.

Putting aside talent for a moment, just talking about techniques, even the Eight Extraordinary Skills require gradual cultivation.

In this respect, the system will not offer any help or improvement.

In particular, some exercises require a certain level of knowledge from the user.

For example, having complete hands requires sufficient medical knowledge.

The reason Lü Liang could use it so skillfully was simply because he inherited some of Duanmu Ying's memories.

However, after a moment's thought, Qin Lang realized that he didn't need to worry about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques at all.

Take the [Spirit-Spirit Fruit] and [Memory Fruit] that I currently possess as examples; they are almost comparable to the Blue Hand's ability to control spirits and command both.

As for the double-handed red hand, it can also be achieved through Marco's Phoenix Fruit or Mansherry's Healing Fruit.

Even if you don't own a Devil Fruit, you can borrow its power by spending bond points in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, the only problem is that you can't awaken it.

Most importantly, his system possesses more than just the power of the fruit.

In multiple draws, Qin Lang obtained design blueprints related to Vegapunk's research, as well as fragments of Germa 66's combat suits.

He believes that in the future, he will be able to fully master these technologies.

If I could create a pacifist, I'm sure it wouldn't be any weaker than Ma Xianhong's Ru Hua, right?

Therefore, Qin Lang felt that his goal should never be to acquire the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

It could even be in line with the company's philosophy to make the Eight Extraordinary Skills extinct starting from this generation.

After all, what if the Eight Extraordinary Skills were gone?

Even with his current Devil Fruit abilities, he could be invincible in the world.

It was because he understood this point that when Qin Lang obtained the "Title Upgrade Ticket" after completing the mission of seizing Lu Ci and Wang Ai's property, he chose to upgrade to "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

[Title Upgrade Ticket: Can upgrade the host's title "Elite Pirate" to either "Supernova" or "Shichibukai".]

[Title "Supernova": Increases combat power by 500 points, doubles bounty, and grants an additional bounty for each pirate defeated.]

[Title "Shichibukai": Increases combat power by 500 points, facilitates long-term cooperation with the Navy, grants Navy protection, and provides additional bond points when completing missions in cooperation with the Navy.]

Putting aside the fact that he has acquired the economic assets of the Wang and Lü families, he doesn't have any immediate need for money.

Just considering the extra bond points that the title of Shichibukai grants, Qin Lang would also choose Shichibukai.

Moreover, after confirming his attitude towards the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, he felt that future cooperation with the company was inevitable.

In particular, Lü Liang should soon come to me to handle the Lü family's affairs.

I definitely can't complete it by myself.

It will definitely require the support of the company's large human resources.

Moreover, the fact that Zhang Chulan agreed to become his partner so quickly suggests that this title must have played a role.

And immediately after the system task completion notification ends.

Another line has been added: "[Extra reward: 100 Bond Points]".

Although 100 points is not much, it is equivalent to one point of combat power.

Is it a mosquito's leg or meat?

After establishing a partnership.

Zhang Chulan also asked another question that had been on his mind:

"Qin Lang, you just said someone is doing something in the shadows. Is it related to Sister Bao'er?"

"I don't know. Feng Baobao was probably well protected by Xu Xiang before, and she almost never showed her face in front of the many supernatural beings."

But things might change after this grand Taoist ritual.

If that group was also involved in the Jia Shen Rebellion, they would definitely target Feng Baobao.

Qin Lang did not tell Zhang Chulan about the Yaoxing Society.

Because he still has an ultimate mission: to defeat Im.

He guessed that Im must be among the people of the Shining Star Society.

Zhang Chulan's current favorability towards him is still in the single digits.

I can't fully trust him.

If Qu Tong's situation were told to Zhang Chulan, he would, for his and Feng Baobao's safety, directly report it to the company.

Then it will probably be very difficult for me to complete that ultimate mission.

Moreover, Qin Lang's announcement that he was a successor of the Qi Body Source should have attracted people from the Yaoxing Society to come looking for him.

At that time, I will be able to determine who the system has mistaken for Qu Tong.

"Are they from the Ten Elders?"

I don't know if any of them are among the Ten Elders.

However, their strength is no less than that of the Ten Elders.

You don't need to worry about them right now. Just focus on your match. Even if Feng Baobao and I can help you take down a lot of enemies, you might still encounter strong opponents yourself.

Zhang Chulan gave an awkward laugh and muttered, "Sigh, I hope it goes smoothly."

While saying this, Zhang Chulan had already discerned a different meaning from Qin Lang's words.

Qin Lang wasn't sure if any of the Ten Elders were among their people. Did that mean they also had people infiltrated into other organizations?

Moreover, their strength is no less than that of the Ten Elders, and they are also related to the Jia Shen Rebellion.

Then they must have other Eight Extraordinary Skills, right?

Zhang Chulan shook his head. He felt as if he had boarded a pirate ship and couldn't get off.

Just then, Qin Lang stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should head back soon so as not to miss today's match."

With that, he put his arm around Liu Yanyan and disappeared into the air right in front of Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

"He can actually fly!? Just what abilities does Qin Lang possess?"

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but sigh.

However, Feng Baobao quickly corrected her:

"He wasn't flying; there were fine threads beneath his feet, and he stepped on them to leave."

"silk!?"
