Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 259 Opening Treasure Chests - Great Arrow Hero

"He's gone?" Nojiko cautiously pushed open the door; the birdman inside was gone.

"Yes!" Ning Yuan nodded.

"Um, is he human?" Nojiko asked curiously. "He looks more like a bird!"

"I can't tell either!" Ning Yuan shrugged. "I feel like he's a bird that ate the Human-Human Fruit, but he could also be a human who ate the Bird-Bird Fruit, or a bird that underwent scientific experiments and gained increased intelligence, or he could be the product of some kind of Devil Fruit. Who cares!"

Noki was somewhat bewildered, wondering what all this was about.

"Speaking of which, I have a question for you!" Ning Yuan asked, "How are the sales of your oranges?"

"That's great!" Noki nodded. "What's wrong? Are you short of money?"

"No, no!" Ning Yuan laughed. "I just earned some royalties, I was just asking."

He never expected that he would be deceived by Ah Jian.

But thinking about it carefully, it's actually normal. A person of unknown origin suddenly comes to your house and asks how your business is doing.

No one would honestly say that our business is doing very well and that we make a lot of money every year.

What if he's a spy for pirates?

"Come here, let me give you a hug!" Ning Yuan opened his arms.

"I need to cook!" Noki rolled her eyes at him. "Besides, you've been busy all night, aren't you tired?"

"Young people, when do they ever complain about being tired!" Ning Yuan laughed.

A simple way to tell if a man is lecherous is to place your finger on his nose and check if he's breathing.

If someone is angry, it proves they are lustful.

Ning Yuan didn't show it in the Naruto world because he was only five years old when he transmigrated there, and only 14 years old by the end of the story. It was not the right time for him to do anything, so no matter how much he wanted to, he could only suppress himself for the time being.

But Ning Yuan in this world is 19 years old!

Moreover, Ning Yuan neither cultivates immortality nor possesses a talent called "Clear Mirror Still Water," so it would be strange if he could endure it.

Nuoqi Gao went to cook, and Ning Yuan, having nothing to do, simply opened the system.

"system!"

"Ding! The Influence System has been activated!"

It was still very rudimentary, like an old computer monitor from decades ago.

This system is called the "Influence System," and it rewards Ning Yuan based on his influence in this world.

Influence is comprised of four main components: [popularity], [plot distortion], [fate distortion], and [world distortion].

[Fame] goes without saying, how many people know you and have a certain impression of you in their minds.

This sequence is calculated using numbers, and it can increase or decrease. A decrease indicates that people know Ning Yuan is dead, or that they have forgotten about Ning Yuan.

The degree of plot distortion is determined by the need to change the plot. The greater the plot is changed, the higher the degree of plot distortion.

This sequence is expressed as a percentage, from 0 to 100%.

【Fate Distortion】 refers to Ning Yuan's influence on the original characters. For example, Nojiko was originally single for two years, but now she has a boyfriend under Ning Yuan's influence. Therefore, Ning Yuan's 【Fate Distortion】 on Nojiko is very high.

This sequence is also calculated as a percentage, from 0 to 100%.

The "World Distortion" refers to the change in the entire world. For example, Ning Yuan's actions in the previous world transformed a ninja world into a world of cultivation, resulting in an extremely high "World Distortion".

If we're going to cause trouble in this world, it would probably be to transform a world dominated by pirates into some other kind of world.

After obtaining this system, Ning Yuan also considered what kind of career he should pursue.

Pirates don't actually have much influence. Even the Four Emperors' influence is limited to the New World.

The navy? Its influence isn't that great either.

Revolutionary Army? They certainly have a great influence, but they need a long period of development.

Merchants? Similar to the Revolutionary Army, they also need an extremely long development period, and doing business in a world like One Piece is very difficult without strength and connections.

After much deliberation, Ning Yuan chose the fourth path.

author!

The author may seem like an ordinary profession, but the author who writes online novels is also an author, and the author who writes about Ning Xuan is also an author. Can one author be the same as another?

Moreover, as an author, as long as the platform where you publish your articles is large enough, gaining influence is really not difficult at all.

Look, Ning Yuan just published one report, and the influence is already skyrocketing!

Upon opening the system, two interfaces are displayed on the panel.

[Influence] [Shop]

First, let's look at the influence, based on four data points from Ningyuan.

[Popularity: 2235764]

Current number of treasure chests: 7

"When your fame reaches 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10, 100, 1000, 1, 10, and 1 billion, you will receive Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legendary, Epic, God-level, and Concept-level treasure chests respectively."

[Plot distortion rate: 1%]

Current number of treasure chests: 1

"When the plot distortion level is 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90, you will receive Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legendary, Epic, God-level, and Concept-level treasure chests respectively."

[Fate Distortion]

[Nogigo (Iron Grade): 60%]

Jinbe (Diamond Level): 5%

Current number of treasure chests: 1

[World Distortion 0]

Current number of treasure chests: None.

"As expected, you still have to be an author!" Ning Yuan looked at the more than two million followers. If you slowly draw cards to accumulate strength and go to sea as a pirate, when will two million people know about you?

Look at Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy. He has a bounty of 30 million, and he set sail with the title of having the highest bounty in the East Blue. But when he arrived at the Grand Line, who knew him?

They even made headlines because of the Enies Lobby incident, but when they arrived in Water Seven, hardly anyone recognized them.

Even after the Marineford War, few people recognized them on the street.

The reason for this is that most people have their own lives. Unless they are pirates themselves, or work in a pirate-related field, or there are pirates around them, they really don't care all the time about what big things a pirate has done or how much his bounty has increased.

"Treasure chest!" Ning Yuan looked at the grid below the panel. This was called the system space, which could be used to store the items drawn from the treasure chest.

There are currently exactly nine treasure chests stored in the system space.

There are 3 Black Iron level chests, the third one comes from Nojiko. Each character will receive a chest when their Fate Distortion reaches 50% and 90%, and the chest level is equivalent to the character level.

A character's level depends on their strength and the importance of their role.

However, not just anyone can obtain the treasure chest. You must be a well-known character in the One Piece world who has a significant role in the story. Also, since the lowest level of the treasure chest is Iron, the person's level must be at least Iron.

The system has a catalog, which Ning Yuan checked. As of now, there are a total of 1141 people.

Among these 1141 people, a considerable number either have the ability but lack the weight of their roles, or they have roles but lack the ability, so they don't even qualify as Black Iron level.

For example, A-Jian.

In addition, some people have already died, such as the evil dragon.

Therefore, among these 1141 people, there are bound to be many treasure chests that Ningyuan will not be able to obtain.

In addition, Ning Yuan also noticed that the highest level among all the characters was Im, but he was only an epic-level character. The god-level and concept-level characters above him did not exist at all. Therefore, Ning Yuan was destined not to be able to obtain god-level or concept-level treasure chests from the [Fate Distortion] project.

With nine treasure chests in hand, Ning Yuan had little desire to open them.

After all, he was just a conceptual being; what good things hadn't he obtained?

Asking someone who can create spacetime, generate life, and reverse life and death to unlock a skill like Thunder Breathing Technique is really not exciting.

"Fine, we're already here, let's open them!" Ning Yuan opened three black iron treasure chests first.

Without even a ray of light, the three items appeared in the system space.

"Tai Chi beginner's guide: a Beretta 92 pistol (fully loaded magazine, 30 rounds of ammunition), and a Longquan sword."

Ning Yuan was speechless. As expected of a Black Iron-level weapon, the pistol wasn't even fully loaded.

I'm still just a beginner in Tai Chi.

As for this Longquan sword...

Ning Yuan took out the Longquan sword and was astonished to find that it was actually a modern product, and that he had bought it on Pinduoduo.

Because this sword was not only unsharpened, but the packaging box also had a tracking number written on it, and the address was the person's home before time travel.

"Ding!" Ning Yuan picked up the Longquan sword and tapped it, confirming that the bright silver metallic eight-sided Han sword was made of high manganese steel.

It's a pretty good type of steel. If the manufacturer didn't cut corners, this sword should be of the same quality as a sharp blade.

If a novice transmigrator had these three treasures, he should be able to earn a bounty of 5000 Berries.

Ning Yuan roughly knew what level this "Black Iron" level was; it should be a pirate with a bounty of 1.

So, 100,000 silver dollars?

Open the Silver Treasure Chest!

"Ding!"

A pale green bead appeared in the system space.

"A luminous pearl, originally from Australia, that emits a faint green glow at night!"

Ning Yuan was speechless. What luminous pearl? This is uranium ore, isn't it? Treating this like a treasure, are you really not afraid of death?

"Huh?" Ning Yuan's eyes lit up. He didn't need this, so he could give it away!

For example, something that seems far away yet is right before your eyes, like Colonel Mouse.

Although Ning Yuan needed this guy to climb the ranks, he felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.

It wouldn't be bad to let him keep a uranium ore shell on hand to expose him to radiation.

As for whether the world government will use this uranium to develop a nuclear missile,

Even without uranium mines, the World Government has no shortage of weapons capable of destroying islands.

Moreover, Ning Yuan didn't think that a greedy person like Rat would be willing to hand over the luminous pearl to scientists for research. However, he might use the luminous pearl to bribe his superiors to get a promotion.

The superior then passed it on to the superior above, and the superior then passed it on to the superior above.

If this happens a few more times, this luminous pearl might even end up in the hands of a Celestial Dragon!

Ning Yuan smirked and opened the gold-level treasure chest.

A silver-level treasure chest is only at the level of a low-level pirate with a value of 100,000, while a gold-level chest should be at the level of a million.

A pirate with a million-dollar count is roughly equivalent to the Mountain Bandit King Higuma, who is already capable of occupying a mountain and dominating a region.

It's time to release some good stuff!

Ning Yuan lightly tapped the treasure chest, and only felt a flash of golden light before his eyes, after which a book appeared in the system space.

Fortunately, there is a text description in the system space, so there's no need to take it out to read.

"Naval Six Styles Finger Pistol, what the hell?" Ning Yuan was stunned. A gold-level treasure chest could yield the Six Styles!

Well, it's alright?

Next, Platinum level.

This is the domain of pirates with bounties in the tens of millions. Pirates at this level either have their own special skills or are simply Devil Fruit users. Even Crocodile, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, only had a bounty of 8000 million.

So, it's time to release something good!

Ning Yuan pointed his finger heavily, and a dazzling white-gold light burst forth, just like the scene in Little Chef when the pot lid was lifted.

A moment later, the light faded, and the treasure in the space was revealed.

It is a teardrop-shaped blue crystal, which looks like some kind of ornament, or perhaps, the tears of a goddess!

Ning Yuan glanced at the system description and then understood; it really was the goddess's tears.

【Tears of the Goddess - One Piece World Version】Can store stamina. Each time you use physical skills, sword skills, or Devil Fruit abilities, you can increase its maximum stamina storage value. The maximum stamina storage value is 750.

"750 stamina, what does that mean?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Please explore on your own, host," the system replied.

Ning Yuan remained silent and continued to figure it out on his own.

If I need 750 stamina to throw a single punch, that would be outrageous.

But since they're the tears of a goddess, they shouldn't be this deceitful.

Next up, a diamond-level treasure chest!

Diamond level means a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million. Even Jinbe, a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, only has a bounty of 250 million.

In other words, it is possible to obtain a reward from a diamond-level treasure chest that could elevate Ning Yuan to the level of a Shichibukai.

Ning Yuan was about to click on the treasure chest when he suddenly remembered something and covered his eyes.

The next moment, a dazzling essence burst forth, filling the entire house!

Even Nojiko, who was cooking next door, poked her head out and asked, "What are you doing? Why is it so bright?"

"You can see it?" Ning Yuan asked in surprise. I thought I was the only one who could see it.

"Yes, I could see it!" Nojiko nodded. "Actually, I saw it just now, but the light was dimmer!"

"Alright!" Ning Yuan said, "It's nothing, I'm researching abilities!"

"You can glow too?" Nojiko asked with a curious look.

She did indeed discover that, apart from being a reporter for Ningyuan, she seemed to know nothing about Ningyuan at all.

I don't know where he comes from, what his abilities are, or even what he likes to eat.

"Occasionally!" Ning Yuan said, "But usually not."

"Can you shine later so I can see? I'm really curious about how you glow!" Noki asked.

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm about to glow!" Ning Yuan said.

He still has a legendary treasure chest that he hasn't opened yet.

Judging by the way the Diamond-level chests are doing, the Legendary-level chests might just light up the whole village next!

Fortunately, it's daytime now, noon, and even the brightest light can't outshine the sun.

"Okay!" Nokiko pulled her head back and continued cooking.

"Lord Guan Sheng, God of Wealth, Jade Emperor, Three Pure Ones, your disciple Ning Yuan begs for your protection. Please stop sending me props!"

Ning Yuan also believes that great power belongs to oneself. No matter how good the treasure you give me is, I don't want it!

I prefer the kind that directly enhances my strength.

Of course, if it's a primordial treasure, like the Taiji Diagram or the Pangu Banner, then that's a different story.

"Then, open!" Ning Yuan released his hands and then suddenly looked at the system interface.

Lying quietly beside the Goddess's Tears is a book with a cover depicting a bow and arrow!

"Not bad, not bad!" Ning Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Books are essentially knowledge and skills, and the knowledge and skills that can be obtained from diamond-level treasure chests must be skills that can raise one's strength to this level.

Although Ning Yuan doesn't like to fight, having no sword and having a sword but not using it are two different things!

"The Way of the Arrow Hero!" Ning Yuan looked at the system description.

There are great swordsmen in the world, but no great archers. This development path is very abnormal. This book condenses some of the power essence of an archer god from another world. You can use it to break through to the realm of a great archer.

"Arrow Master? That's fine too!" As a man, Ning Yuan liked swords, guns, and knives, and he was also very passionate about arrows.

In his previous life, he made his own bows and arrows as a child. When he grew up, he even bought a huge recurve bow online and kept it at home. Unfortunately, he didn't have money when he was young, so he could only make his own bows.

When I grew up, I could afford a bow, but I didn't have time to play with it anymore.

"Making a name for myself as a master archer in this world doesn't seem so bad!" Ning Yuan nodded.

Actually, it's not like no one in the One Piece world uses bows; the women on Amazon Lily use bows and arrows, don't they?

It's just that the people in this world are too abnormal. The strong can withstand not only a sword, but also a knife or ten punches and might not die. They can even do sit-ups on the spot.

Against this backdrop, the bow and arrow, a weapon that can only shoot a small hole, became somewhat limited.

However, since swords can be imbued with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, there's no reason why arrows can't.

The Great Swordsman can reach the top of the world; even the Admirals and the Four Emperors have to give him face.

There's no reason why Da Jianhao should be weak!

"Use it!" Ning Yuan took out the book directly, and then...

Eh?

Ning Yuan was astonished to discover that the book was actually a physical object before he even started studying it!

In other words, this thing can be used not only by oneself, but also by others.

However, this item is a one-time gift and can only be given to one person.

That makes sense. The Naruto world focuses more on individual strength, so the development of the system naturally focuses more on individual development.

In One Piece, whether you choose the path of a pirate, a marine, or a revolutionary, the strength of your companions is crucial.

Otherwise, he'd end up like Whitebeard, surrounded and beaten by a group of people, with his sons unable to help at all.

Therefore, the cheat codes in this world can naturally enhance the team's strength.

So it's normal that he can give the things he takes out to others to use.

However, this system only has the function of gifting abilities, but not the function of binding loyalty.

What if you give a skill to someone and they betray you, like Blackbeard did?

"So we still need to be careful when choosing people." Ning Yuan stroked his chin. Actually, it's not too bad. He's on the literary path, so he doesn't really need any companions.

"Dinner's ready!" Noki happily carried a plate of food out of the kitchen and placed it heavily on the table.

"We have grilled meat, fruit, and vegetables—all the best ingredients we have at home!" Nojiko said expectantly. "Come and try it, see how it tastes!"

"No rush, didn't you want to see the light?" Ning Yuan said.

Noki blushed slightly: "How about we eat first, then watch it?"

Ning Yuan was speechless: "What are you thinking? I meant glowing! Didn't you just see it? That dazzling silver light!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Nojiko quickly sat down. "I'm ready, let's begin!"

Ning Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Above Diamond level is Legendary level.

What does "legendary" mean?

The Four Emperors, the Three Admirals, the Fleet Admiral, the Five Elders, and even the former Pirate Kings Roger and Rocks, as well as the Golden Lion who is now wandering somewhere unknown.

The treasure chests in this system don't have a probability concept; the difference lies in whether the skills or items obtained are strong or weak.

And this skill must fall within this skill range.

In other words, once Ning Yuan opens this treasure chest and uses its contents, his strength will leap to the top tier in the world.

At the very least, they have the potential to enter the world's top ranks.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Enel also obtained a legendary item, but he did not reach the level of legendary strength.

Ning Yuan remained relatively calm, after all, he had already reached his peak, albeit not in this world.

Alright, let's begin!
