I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

I will provide 30 million credits as a reward.

Requirements: Do not make a big fuss, and do not let Miss Robin know.

……

Meanwhile, on Luffy's side...

"Wow, we're rich now!"

Looking at the huge box of Kasperingat-VIII special ore in his system warehouse, Luffy couldn't help but grin from ear to ear.

Thank you, company!

Rufu couldn't help but put his hands together in praise.

It wasn't difficult to get these ores from the company.

Because the Kaspelling-VIII war ended, the company also signed a trade treaty with Kaspelling-VIII.

Therefore, the people from those companies are planning to leave Kaspelin-VIII.

Luffy simply swaggered into the company's base.

From the company's perspective, Ruff was the former leader of Kaspelin-VIII who had retired, and it was also his company that signed the trade agreement with Kaspelin-VIII.

Therefore, Lin Xuan easily entered the company's base using the excuse he used to say goodbye to the company.

After that, all you have to do is take advantage of the company's inattention and secretly transfer these ores to the system warehouse using the system.

Although the loss of the ore aroused suspicion regarding Luffy's sudden arrival, no evidence was found on Luffy that could store the ore.

Therefore, they had no choice but to announce that Luffy was not a suspect.

After Luffy promised to help catch the thief who stole the company's property.

Amidst the grateful gazes of the company employees, Luffy slowly left the company's base.

"Hehe, the company never expected that I was the one who took these ore!"

Looking at the pile of ore in the system warehouse, Luffy couldn't help but chuckle.

At this moment, Luffy noticed a red dot in the system task list. When he opened it, he found that the previously issued task had been completed.

[As the future Pirate King, let the world know you! (1/1)]

Perhaps because of the Spelling VIII incident, the mission was successfully completed.

So Luffy happily clicked "complete," and soon another thousand Star Jade arrived in his account.

As the first task is completed, the next task is then issued.

[As the future King of the Space Pirates, please earn your first bounty! (1/1)]

Luffy rubbed his eyes and looked at the mission that had just been issued.

"System, am I seeing things? How did it get completed so quickly?"

I didn't do anything bad, I just stole some company stuff, how could that be considered a bad thing?

Damn it, who put a bounty on my head?

[Strange, no errors are displayed?]

At this moment, the system also sensed something was wrong.

I checked the system's task mode and found nothing wrong with it.

"Forget it, never mind it!"

Free tasks, why not take them!

So Luffy happily accepted the new 1,000 stars.

Free stuff always tastes the best!

Luffy thought to himself with a smug satisfaction.

"Damn it, where did this go wrong?"

Seeing that Luffy had earned a thousand Star Qiong from him without doing anything, the system couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

Seeing others make money is more painful than losing money yourself!

Volume 1: Chapter 26 The Unknown Distance

This shouldn't be happening! Why?

A frustrated voice came from the system.

It just went online and checked all the wanted posters in the universe, but couldn't find anything about Luffy.

I wish I hadn't been so cheap and bought this used task module!

At this moment, the system was filled with regret.

Did I just hear something strange?

"I'm a little surprised," said Rufu.

[How could that be? You must have misheard, host!]

A somewhat guilty voice came from the system.

Seeing this, Luffy didn't press the matter further, since he had come out ahead anyway.

Then Luffy turned his gaze to the system's marketplace, tapped his hands, and spent all two thousand Star Jade he had just earned.

[Oh! What did you buy this time, host?]

Upon seeing Luffy, who immediately spent two thousand Star Jade, the system's curious voice rang out.

"Of course, it's the Haki of Armament Haki and Observation Haki!"

Luffy purchased basic Armament Haki and Observation Haki from the shop.

Although it's only a basic level of domineering power, one serving still requires a thousand Star Jade.

The two thousand Xingqiong she had just earned were all gone just like that.

Although it's only a basic two-color Haki, it still significantly improves Luffy's abilities.

Armament Haki can arm one's body and weapons, while Observation Haki allows Luffy to foresee danger.

Both are good abilities.

Moreover, if one cultivates to a high level, the power will be even greater.

Armament Haki allows one to unleash an ability called Ryuo, which is essentially a form of armor penetration.

The ability to cultivate Observation Haki to the point of being able to foresee the future for a short period of time.

In addition to Armament Haki and Observation Haki, there exists an even more powerful Conqueror's Haki.

However, even a basic level of Conqueror's Haki is much more expensive than Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

A basic dose of Conqueror's Haki costs about the same as a Logia-type Devil Fruit.

Right now, the economy is completely unaffordable for Luffy.

It's important to know that in the world of One Piece, Armament Haki and Observation Haki can be learned through training.

But Conqueror's Haki is different; it requires a person to possess the qualities of a king. Otherwise, no matter how strong one is, they simply cannot learn the power of Conqueror's Haki.

Therefore, its rarity goes without saying.

Luffy now has enough basic Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

As soon as the purchased system arrived in his account, Luffy punched the train carriage.

The next moment, a dull thud was heard from the spot where the train carriage was hit.

Wow, what happened?

The system, which was checking its own task module at that moment, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

【Enemy attack?】

"You're too nervous! I was just testing my Haki ability!"

"Ruf said."

Luffy then looked at the spot where he had just hit the ground.

Although Luffy didn't use his full strength, the punch, imbued with Armament Haki, still left a tiny fist mark on the train wall.

"It's quite powerful!"

Upon seeing the power, Luffy nodded.

With each punch, not only was the power increased, but Luffy also felt no pain.

However, perhaps because it was only a basic level of Haki, Luffy's fist did not turn black when he threw the punch.

Clearly, it's because his domineering aura is still somewhat weak.

[You idiot, could you please not do your experiment on the train next time?!]

A somewhat angry voice came from the system.

You should know that this train was personally retrieved and modified by the system itself.

The system's mood right now is like a relative's child sneaking into your room during Chinese New Year and wantonly playing with the model you painstakingly built—it's furious.

"Alright, I didn't use any force, so it should be fine!"

Luffy smiled and apologized.

[Hmm~]

Even so, the system still looked disappointed.

"What tasks are there next, system?"

In an attempt to divert the system's attention, Luffy immediately asked a question.

[No more missions available for now. The mission module believes you have too many crew members and will issue missions again once you have more crew members!]

"Then how do I earn Star Qiong normally?!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy was immediately dumbfounded.

With the Star Qiong earned from daily check-ins, when will I ever be able to exchange it for a Conqueror's Haki?

In addition to the daily tasks, there are actually some hidden tasks. Completing these tasks will earn you generous Star Jade rewards!

Ruff frowned at this.

"Hidden quest, why didn't you tell me about it before?"

That's because it discovered this when it carefully examined its secondhand task module that it had acquired!

Of course, this couldn't be said to Luffy.

Then the system changed its tone.

[After all, hidden quests are quite difficult to complete, so I wanted to tell you after you finished one!]

"Really?"

【Of course, my dear host, I am your most beloved system treasure! Why would I lie to you?】

Hearing the system's deliberately cute voice, Luffy couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Hey~ Could you tell me the conditions for completing some hidden quests?"

"That won't do! Hidden quests are valuable precisely because they're hidden; I can't reveal that!"

The system shook its head and said.

If I revealed it, would it still be considered a hidden mission?

"so be it!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy reluctantly believed the system's words.

[Alright, host, let's not talk about that now. Let's think about where to go next!]
