One Piece: Starting with just a sword, the crew relies entirely on slashing.

On the island's beach, the couples dressed in white suits had all collapsed. With Meng Tian and Charlotte's tacit approval, the navy had already evacuated in their warships.

Wang Zhe led Sikong Zhen slowly out of the small island, greeted everyone, and then began to wait for the store to update.

A moment later, a notification sound rang out.

Update successful

As the voice faded, Wang Zhe couldn't wait to check the changes in the shop. In the upper right corner of the interface, in addition to still displaying 25 gold coins and 1 million Berries, there were now 13 hero fragments.

His personal information was displayed on the far left of the interface, and Wang Zhe clicked on it out of curiosity.

[Swordsmanship: Advanced Swordsman]

[Weapons: Famous Sword of Fate (As long as the sword doesn't break, you can be absolutely saved) / Famous Sword of Fate (Great Grade 21 Sword; possesses the power to manipulate flames)]

[Thunder Power: Beginner, allows basic manipulation of thunder; requires 100,000 gold coins to upgrade to intermediate]

[Conqueror's Haki: Intermediate, able to control its release to a certain extent]

Armament Haki: Beginner level, usable for defense and attack enhancement.

[Observation Haki: Beginner, can sense auras]

[Special Ability: Hearing the Voice of All Things]

[Tiger Talisman Lv1: After acquiring a fixed territory, it can summon 1,000 Xuanyong soldiers; upgrading to Lv2 requires 100,000 gold coins]

Overall Strength Rating: S

[In-game ability of the shop: Scanning Eye, which can detect the strength rating of enemies]

After seeing his own overall strength, Wang Zhe also used the scanner to check the current strength of Sikong Zhen and the others.

[Sikong Zhen: S+]

Meng Tian: S

Charlotte: S-

[A, B, C, D: B+]

Wang Zhe thought this scanning eye was pretty good. He would scan any enemies he encountered and run away if he couldn't win.

After reviewing the user information, Wang Zhe opened the newly added warehouse. Seeing that it only contained a blue team defense tower and 1/10 of the Glory Ark fragment, he then opened the shop.

At this point, the shop was divided into four sections: the Equipment Shop, the Fragment Shop, the Devil Fruit Shop, and the Skin Shop where he could buy skins for himself. When Wang Zhe saw that Devil Fruits and skins could be purchased with Beli, he was quite pleased.

But when he exited the store and opened the hero lottery page, he was instantly unhappy because the price had almost doubled, and each single draw cost 10,000 gold coins.

Just as Wang Zhe was finally accepting the news, a notification appeared at the bottom of the panel that from now on, defeating or killing enemies would grant experience and gold rewards. This was originally good news, but the probability of obtaining gold from killing enemies would no longer be doubled.

This news was a mixed blessing for Wang Zhe, as leveling up would become much easier in the future, but acquiring gold coins would become more troublesome.

Wang Zhe shifted his gaze to the last section, "Limited-Time Events," and felt a surge of anticipation, as it stated that it would be refreshed continuously.

After clicking on the limited-time event out of curiosity, Wang Zhe felt that it was a bit like accepting a quest.

Hidden Storyline: Adventure on Clockwork Island

[Objective: Locate the stolen Supreme Ship; defeat the Poker Pirates]

[Event Rewards: Glory Ark Fragments +5; Gold Coins +5; Beli +5 million]

Looking at this event, Wang Zhe suddenly thought of the Clockwork Island movie. The big boss was just a bear king with a bounty of only 1400 million. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahahaha, what's the difference between this reward and giving it away for free?"

As he laughed, Wang Zhe seemed to notice something amiss. What should have been Luffy's Going Merry being stolen had now become his Supreme Ship. However, Wang Zhe wasn't too bothered by this; to him, it was just a lighthearted and enjoyable little instance.

Wang Zhe planned to strengthen himself first before embarking on this enjoyable adventure. After checking his gold coin balance of 250,000 and thinking it over carefully, he spent 100,000 gold coins to upgrade his Thunder Power to the intermediate level.

As the gold coins were deducted, a surge of lightning rose from Wang Zhe's body, and at that moment he felt that he possessed an ability similar to elementalization.

At the same time, two changes also appeared on Wang Zhe's personal information panel.

[Thunder Power: Intermediate, increases the power of thunder, allows temporary transformation into thunder (requires double stamina); upgrade to Advanced requires 20 gold coins]

Overall Strength: S+

Feeling his strength improve, Wang Zhe became somewhat addicted to the feeling of spending money on in-game purchases.

Looking at the famous sword Duming in his hand, Wang Zhe opened the Devil Fruit Shop. Many of the Devil Fruits there had character portraits on them, indicating that they had already been used.

But Wang Zhe remained calm, because the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit he had his eye on was eaten by Torajiro in a parallel world in the manga, and no one in this world had found it yet. After some searching, he finally found what he was looking for.

[Bird-Bird Fruit - Mythical Zoan - Nue Form: A giant magical beast with a monkey face, tiger claws, a lion's body, and a snake's tail. Its entire body is covered in fiery fur, and it can ride the clouds and summon lightning and black mist; Price: 50 billion Berries / 50 Gold Coins]

This is the Devil Fruit that Wang Zhe believes is currently the most suitable for the famous sword Duming. Unfortunately, weapons can only use Zoan-type Devil Fruits. Otherwise, the Magma-Magma Fruit would be Wang Zhe's first choice, but that would be quite difficult.

As for how to get the famous sword Du Ming to use a Devil Fruit, Wang Zhe immediately thought of Vegapunk and Caesar. The former possessed the most advanced technology in the world, while the latter had successfully created one himself.

After browsing the Devil Fruit Shop, Wang Zhe turned his attention to his own skin shop.

[Epic Tier: Choose any item from 100 million Berries]

[Legendary Tier: 500 Million Berries to Choose From]

[Collector's Edition/Peerless Edition: One Billion Berries]

Wang Zhe glanced at his wallet, then at the cool skins, and couldn't resist the urge to buy them. Who could resist having a skin just like the hero's? With 100 million Berries deducted...

The same skin as Ukyo Tachibana—Shura—appeared on Wang Zhe, and his hair also grew longer.

Feeling the changes in himself, Wang Zhe was overjoyed and immediately ran to Charlotte and the others to show off.

Seeing the smug Wang Zhe, Charlotte switched from Eternal Day to Floating Life. Looking at Charlotte's sudden change of clothes, Wang Zhe thought it was alright, but his assessment was that it was not as good as Eternal Day.

But when Sikong Zhen, who always liked to wear the Awakening of Insects outfit, changed into the Mountain and River Stable outfit, Wang Zhe felt envious, and his motivation to earn Beta points reached its peak.

Looking at the crowd showing off their armor, Meng Tian could only say, "Your armor isn't as good-looking as mine."

When the initial excitement subsided, apart from Wang Zhe, Sikong Zhen and Charlotte changed back into their favorite clothes.

Wang Zhe, eager to complete the limited-time event quickly and earn Beli, opened the Hero Lottery. Although he could only draw one at a time, Wang Zhe was very happy because the drop rate had increased. As Wang Zhe's finger continued to move, the lottery interface kept changing.

[Hero Fragment +3]

[Honor Ark Fragment +2]

[Hero Fragment +5]

[Hero Fragment +2]

Finally, as Wang Zhe's finger fell for the fifth time, a burst of golden light erupted from the panel, first revealing a slender figure, and then a somewhat eerie figure appeared.

"Oh no, he's a true hero..."
