Pirates on Rocks' Ship 996

Of course, he also took two cakes with him, leaving Reina heartbroken and sobbing.

However, seeing the increase in basic physical skills made Reina feel a little better.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two sounds rang out simultaneously: Reina's fist struck Ismail's cheek, while Ismail's foot kicked Reina's thigh, knocking Reina to the ground.

"You brat, you went too far!" Ismail said, rubbing the spot where Reina had hit him.

"!!!" Reina, lying on the ground, looked at him with a "how dare you talk to me like that" attitude, rubbing his thigh incessantly. That kick had knocked him to the ground.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I reckon in a couple of days I won't be a match for you anymore. I don't know what's wrong with you, you're a freak!" Ismail muttered as he left, rubbing his cheek.

Reina smiled happily as he watched his beginner-level physical skills improve a little.

You should know that the two of them had been sparring for quite a while, and Reina himself had almost exhausted his stamina.

"Beep... Sixth consecutive day of clocking in... Payday being settled..."

You have received a base salary of 60 points.

Overtime pay: 30 points

"Ha~ Today's overtime pay is points again! Let me see how many points I have!" Reina said, opening his character interface.

Name: Reina

Position: Pirate servant

Combat strength: 37

Skill: Basic physical skills (23/100)

Basic Swordsmanship (1/100)

Points: 290

Item: Universal Weapon Exchange Coupon (Normal)

Looking at his nearly 300 points, Reina finally smiled with satisfaction. As for the universal weapon exchange coupon, it was his overtime pay for clocking in for the fourth consecutive day, and it was worth 50 points in the store.

However, Reina did not use it. Firstly, he was practicing physical skills and did not need a weapon yet. He would exchange for one when he started practicing swordsmanship. Secondly, after exchanging for the weapon, he would have to keep it on his person, which would be inconvenient.

Yes, his system's inventory can only store items produced by the system. Once these items are exchanged for weapons and appear in reality, they cannot be put back into the inventory.

"Tomorrow will be the seventh day. I wonder what kind of gift pack will be there! I can't wait!" Reina looked at his daily check-in calendar, where there was a small red gift pack for the seventh day, and he was full of anticipation.

The system will give you a small gift pack on the first, third, seventh, fifteenth and thirtieth consecutive days of check-in. After you receive it, you will not receive it again. In the future, there are only two ways to get the gift pack: one is to buy it with points in the store, and the other is to get a gift pack from the system for perfect attendance each month.

He had already received the gift packs for the first and third consecutive days of check-in, which contained beginner physical skills and beginner sword skills respectively, so he was particularly looking forward to the gift pack for the seventh day.

The next morning, Reina took his tools and began working diligently. Today was crucial, and no matter what, he planned to complete the basic eight hours of work first. Otherwise, if any unexpected things happened, he would definitely go crazy.

"Reina, what's up with you today? Why are you cleaning so early?" A passing pirate asked with slight surprise when he saw Reina cleaning so early in the morning.

"Hehe... As a handyman, you have to be prepared for the job! Cleaning is my job!" Reina said with a smile.

"You're still pretending, kid? I heard Ismail say yesterday that your strength is almost on par with his now!" The pirate winked at Reina with a knowing smile that said, "I've seen through your true colors."

"Hehe...no, no...I'm still far from good enough!" Although Reina said this, he was still a little proud inside.

"Attention! Attention! Naval warship spotted!" Just then, the lookout on the lookout post suddenly shouted.

Reina's smile froze on his face. Just what he feared had come to pass. Today was the last day of his seven-day consecutive sign-in streak. If another battle broke out and he didn't complete his work hours, he would have to wait another seven days to receive the gift pack.

"Mama~ These navy people are really persistent!" Charlotte Linlin swayed as she emerged from the cabin, looked at the distant naval warships, and laughed as she spoke.

"Hmph~ Just three warships? Doesn't the Navy underestimate us?" Shiki the Golden Lion floated down from somewhere and said with a disdainful look on his face.

"Captain, give the order! Let me destroy those warships!" Kaido, carrying his spiked club, stepped out and said to Rocks, who had just come out of the cabin.

Reina swallowed hard and quietly retreated to the back. This was a situation he couldn't handle. His earlier smugness about his increased strength was instantly extinguished.

Chapter 4 New Abilities

"Captain, what do we do now? Fight or run away?" A pirate named John asked Captain Rocks, who was standing at the front.

"Escape? Where to escape to? A mere navy, you think you can let us escape?" Rocks smiled slightly, pointed at the navy's warships, and said, "Take them down!"

The first to make a move wasn't Kaido, who had been shouting the loudest, but rather Charlotte Linlin, a woman. She jumped up from her spot and yelled, "Zeus!"

Then, out of nowhere, a dark cloud appeared and landed right at Lingling's feet, carrying her towards the warship.

On the other side, Shiki, wielding two weapons, let out a cold snort, his body floated up on its own, and then launched two slashes at the warship on the left, heading straight for the warship.

"Prometheus!" Charlotte Linlin, who was flying in the air, saw Shiki the Golden Lion's slash, raised one hand high, and shouted loudly.

As her voice faded, a sun-like creature appeared in Lingling's hand, igniting her entire fist.

"Heavenly Fire - Flame Strike!" Charlotte Linlin's flaming fist struck directly at the central warship, unleashing a burst of flame that shot straight towards the vessel.

“Since we’ve already started... then I’ll take the last one!” Edward Newgate, wielding a naginata, suddenly stood up and swung his sword at the last warship.

The three warships that had terrified Reina sank directly into the sea. The other party probably had no idea what kind of entity they had provoked.

"Phew~ If you don't have the freakish strength of Garp, don't mess with the Rocks Pirates!" Reina sighed, looking at the Navy warship where only the wreckage was still burning and the rest of the ship had sunk into the sea, and muttered to himself.

What was initially thought to be a major crisis was resolved just like that, leaving Reina both happy and speechless.

"Hahaha... My men, let's continue our voyage!" Rocks laughed as he watched the warship slowly sink to the bottom of the sea, and waved his hand, signaling the pirate ship to continue its journey.

The sun slowly disappeared below the horizon, and darkness fell. Reina, who had worked hard all day, could finally rest.

But before he could even sit down, a loud shout of "Enemy attack!" from the lookout shattered the silence of the night.

"No way... this at this hour?" Reina quickly ran towards the deck. Not far away on the sea, a pirate ship was rapidly approaching them. However, because it was dark, Reina couldn't see the pirate flag and therefore didn't know which pirate crew it was.

"Boom!"

Before the two ships could get close, the other side fired cannons, but they were lucky and the shells did not hit the ships.

"Damn it! Who is this guy who dares to attack us?" Kaido, carrying his spiked club, walked out of the cabin and roared with curses.

"It's over there... The other side is the Free Eagle Pirates!" On the lookout tower, the lookout pointed to the pirate ship not far away and shouted loudly.

"The Eagle of Freedom?" Reina had never heard of this pirate crew, so he didn't know their strength. However, since they dared to attack the Rocks Pirates, they must not be ordinary people.

"Give them a counterattack! Sink them to the bottom of the sea... What kind of Tom, Dick, and Harry dare to come looking for trouble?" Kaido commanded his gunners to counterattack, speaking with disdain.

But before we could launch a counterattack, the enemy pirate ship suddenly changed direction and tried to escape.

This puzzled Reina. Why did they rush up so eagerly, fire a few shots, and then run away? Was there a trap ahead, meant to lure them in?

"Hmph! Trying to run? We'll see if you have the ability!" A pirate with a rapier hanging at his waist suddenly walked onto the deck, stared at the pirate ship that was trying to escape, and said coldly.

Reina knew that his name was Wang Zhi, and he seemed to be a very powerful pirate. On the ship, apart from not being as good as the future Three Emperors and Golden Lion, he was considered a top figure in the second tier, on par with pirates like Silver Axe and John.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Zhi finished speaking, he unleashed a slash that went straight for the enemy. In an instant, the enemy's pirate ship was cut in two, and the pirates on board screamed as they fell into the sea.

"They were taken care of so easily? How did they dare to attack us?" Reina stared in disbelief at the pirate ship that had been split in two.

"Heh~ I guess they rushed into the attack before they could see our flag clearly because it was dark. When they got close and realized it was the Rocks Pirates, they tried to run away! But they'd better be able to escape!" Wang Zhi sheathed his weapon, chuckled, and said.

"No... really? There are pirates this reckless?" Reina said in surprise.

After the crisis was over, the pirates on the ship slowly returned to their cabins. Reina had noticed that Edward Newgate and the others, and even Captain Rocks, had not appeared. It seemed that they knew the enemy did not have any powerful members, so they did not come out at all.

"Beep... Seventh consecutive day of clocking in... Payday being settled..."

"You have received a base salary of 70 points!"

Overtime pay: One F-rank ability exchange voucher!

"Successfully completed the first seven-day check-in and received the reward: Random Bloodline!"

At the end of the day's work, the system-issued salary arrived in his account. Before he could even check his earnings, Reina felt a burning sensation within his body, as if it were about to melt him.

After holding out for less than three seconds, Reina promptly fainted. However, he guessed that this was because the random bloodline he had just acquired was merging with him, which was why he was like this.

The next day, when Reina woke up, it was already broad daylight. He was in the same place where he had fainted the night before, and no one had noticed him, or perhaps someone had noticed but hadn't paid any attention.

Upon opening his eyes, Reina immediately tried to sense the changes in his body, but he didn't find anything unusual. So he directly opened the character interface in the system.

Name: Reina

Position: Pirate servant

Combat strength: 137

Skill: Basic physical skills (23/100)

Basic Swordsmanship (1/100)

Genetic lineage: The mutated genes of the growth-type mutant Black King (Sebastian Shaw) (absorbing all forms of energy and releasing them or empowering himself).

Points: 360

Items: Universal Weapon Exchange Coupon (Normal), F-Rank Ability Exchange Coupon

"The Black Emperor Sebastian Shaw's abilities? And his combat power has actually increased by a hundred points?" Reina was so surprised when he saw his interface that he almost screamed.

He certainly knew about this ability. In his previous life, the X-Men movies were household names, and Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, was the leader of Hellfire among the mutants, whose abilities were quite monstrous.

"Something's not right! If it really is the Black Emperor's ability, his combat power shouldn't only increase by a hundred points! Could there be something wrong with it?" After the initial excitement, Reina started to think again.

Finally, he focused his attention on his genetic lineage description. He had previously overlooked a term: growth type!

Therefore, he guessed that the Black Emperor's power he had acquired was very weak. Not to mention compared to the Black Emperor who absorbed nuclear energy in the movie, he might not even be able to absorb Ismail's full-force attack now. Only in this way could it be explained why his combat power had only increased by 100 points.

However, this ability clearly has tremendous potential, because one day he can train it to be as powerful as the Black King in the movie, at which point he will probably not fear any strong opponent.

After calming himself down, he began to study the F-level ability exchange ticket again.

F-Rank Ability Exchange Coupon: Can be exchanged for one F-Rank ability.

He checked and found that F-level abilities included chefs, musicians, linguists, bartenders, and so on—all skills unrelated to combat.

So after a little consideration, Reina chose the musician option.

After making his selection, a lot of music theory knowledge and instrument playing techniques suddenly appeared in his mind, but it wasn't a top-level ability; he had only grasped the basics.

After finishing, Reina opened the store again, wanting to choose a musical instrument. After all, he was now a musician, and he couldn't do without a suitable instrument.

“Suona…” Looking at the instrument in the store that could produce a high-pitched sound in his memory, Reina still resisted the urge to redeem it.

As the saying goes, "When the suona horn sounds, it's either ascension to heaven or the wedding ceremony!"
