I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

As expected of one of the three admirals of the Navy, Kizaru's Devil Fruit is indeed quite impressive!

It's just that I might not be proficient yet, and there's a bit of a wobbling when I use it.

It took a while to transform back into human form...

However, Luffy wasn't too worried, since he figured he wouldn't have this problem once he got more skilled.

[Host, would you like me to send you a copy of the techniques Kizaru uses to help you train your Devil Fruit ability?]

Just as Luffy was excitedly experimenting with the fruit's abilities, the system's voice came through.

Luffy put his hands on his hips and said confidently.

"No need, I'm a long-time One Piece fan, do you think I don't know what Kizaru is capable of?"

"Is that so? Then let me test you, Kizaru, what techniques do you know?"

Luffy answered without hesitation.

"The first skill is Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, the second skill is Kurama Link, and the ultimate skill is Tailed Beast Planet Rasenshuriken!"

【? 】

No, are you right?

"I'm just asking you, isn't this Kizaru?!"

【Yes, that's not wrong~】

The system had no way to refute this statement.

But are these two Kizaru the same thing?

[But your Kizaru has nothing to do with light, right? You should practice Kizaru's techniques properly!]

The system tried to dissuade Luffy.

"Okay~"

Just as Luffy was about to listen to the system and try out some of Kizaru's moves, he suddenly remembered something.

"System, I ate the Glitter-Glitter Fruit, does that mean my whole body is made of light?"

[You could say that, right?]

"Then I realized that Ultraman is made of light, and I am also made of light. Does that mean I am Ultraman?"

【what? 】

At this moment, the system was also stunned by Luffy's amazing thought process and did not react for a moment.

"System, Kizaru has his limits. From my brief experience as a Devil Fruit user, I've learned that I must surpass the limits of Devil Fruit users!"

What exactly are you trying to say?

The system asked Luffy with a look of surprise.

"System, I don't want to be Kizaru anymore! I want to be Ultraman!"

Volume 1: Chapter 5 Departure, Let's Go!

Upon hearing this, the system couldn't help but complain.

【You're really dreaming!】

"Oh, I was just kidding!"

Luffy waved his hand and said casually.

He was quite self-aware; it was definitely impossible for him to gain the level of combat ability that Ultraman possessed in one step.

Although he can't transform into Ultraman, there are still some things he can do.

Luffy crossed his arms in front of him, and then a beam of light shot out from his hands, hitting a large tree not far away.

Under the power of the light, the tree was blasted into pieces.

【Holy crap, this is...】

"That's right, it's the Specium Ray!"

"Ruf said with considerable pride."

While its power is certainly not the same as the original Specium Ray, it was enough for Luffy to experience being an Ultraman.

Of course, the other eight-point Lulu was not forgotten either.

Ruff manipulated the light particles to condense into a light wheel, and then threw it out.

The light halo instantly sliced ​​another tree in the distance into several pieces.

"Fun!"

Having witnessed the power of the Specium Ray and the Eight-Point Light Wheel, Luffy couldn't help but sigh.

Isn't this much more powerful than the eight-foot-long magatama with its outline?

However, Luffy didn't forget Kizaru's original ability and used it in a similar way.

"Alright, that's all for today. Go back and get some rest."

Luffy was quite excited to have superpowers for the first time.

By the time Luffy realized what was happening, it was already late at night.

After manipulating the Glint-Glint Fruit multiple times, Luffy had also exhausted a lot of his stamina.

So Luffy stretched and went back inside the train to rest.

……

On the second day at noon, after resting for another night, Luffy got up full of energy.

[Host, everything is ready now, shall we set off?]

At this moment, the system was also urging Luffy to hurry up and set off to become a space pirate.

"Don't rush me. Look how dilapidated this carriage is. Shouldn't we clean it up first? Otherwise, are you going to make me live in a place like this from now on?"

【Yes, you're not wrong!】

The system didn't say anything about it.

"That's right. You can help clean the carriage here while I go back and prepare the supplies we'll need for departure!"

What? You want me to clean? No way!

Upon hearing that Luffy wanted him to do some work, the system immediately refused.

"Hey! Don't say that!"

At this moment, Luffy immediately spoke up.

"System, think about it. If you can clean the carriage quickly, we can leave sooner. Otherwise, by the time I finish cleaning, who knows how long it will take? Aren't you waiting for me to become a pirate? Wouldn't it be better if we cleaned up sooner and left sooner?"

What you said does seem to make some sense?

Upon hearing Luffy's words, the system fell into deep thought.

Okay, I'll help with the cleaning then. Be sure to come back quickly!

"rest assured!"

Rufu patted his chest and assured him.

Then it turned into light particles and flew towards its small rented room.

The system was left alone to silently clean up.

……

With the Glint-Glint Fruit, Luffy returned to his rented room in no time.

The thought of spending several hours going there and returning in less than a minute is unbearable.

"The Glint-Glint Fruit is really convenient!"

"I can't help but sigh," Lu Fu remarked.

Luffy immediately sprang into action, since he was leaving and needed to take his belongings with him.

Fortunately, Luffy didn't have much stuff, and he quickly tidied up the rental apartment.

After doing all this, Luffy opened the door and went to the entrance of the rented house downstairs. He spoke to an old lady sitting in the doorway, basking in the sun.

"Aunt Dadan, I'm planning to move!"

The elderly woman sunbathing at the door is the landlord of this rental house.

After all, when Luffy was here, Aunt Dadan took good care of him.

Now that I'm leaving, I should still come and say goodbye to her.

"Oh, it's Luffy, are you leaving?"

Upon seeing Luffy, Dadan greeted him with a smile.

"Yeah, big cities are too chaotic. A friend suggested I go into prostitution, so I'm planning to leave here!"

Luffy originally intended to say he wanted to be a pirate, but after thinking about it, he realized that if he said that, the landlady would probably call the police on the spot.

"Sigh, that's how big cities are. Going into business is good, going into business... huh?"

Dadan initially agreed with Luffy's words, but she quickly came to her senses.

Did the young man in front of me just say something outrageous?

Dadan picked at her ear. Sure enough, did Luffy just say something outrageous?

Is this still the language of Windmill Star?

"Luffy, are you telling the truth?"

Dadan asked Ruf with a trembling face.

"Yes, I was half-heartedly persuaded by my friend to agree, but thinking about the future, it looks like it will be very exciting. Maybe that's the kind of life I've always longed for!"

The thought of traveling the universe in the future made Luffy a little excited.

Seeing Luffy's appearance, Dadan's eyes widened in surprise.

Having lived this long, she had never seen anything like it.

"Aunt Dadan, maybe you'll see me on the Star Peace Company's TV someday!"

If I really become a great pirate in the future, I'm sure the Interstellar Peace Corporation will offer me a decent bounty, right?

However, these words took on a different meaning when they reached Dadan's ears.

No, the company broadcasts this kind of stuff?

Dadan couldn't help but sigh, "I'm getting old. I can't understand this era anymore."

"Alright, Auntie, I'll stop chatting now. I need to prepare some things for the journey, so I'll be leaving now."

Considering the time constraints, Ruff didn't talk to Dadan for long.

Amidst Dadan's shocked gaze, Luffy also left.

After saying goodbye to Dadan, Luffy went to the city's largest shopping mall.

After spending more than half of his credits on some storable food and daily necessities, Luffy returned to his rented room.

Looking at the rented room where I've lived for so long, I'm really reluctant to leave now.

Just as Luffy was feeling sad, the door to the room opened, and Dadan slowly walked in.

"Aunt Dadan, is there anything else?"

Looking at Dadan who had come to visit, Ruf asked in confusion.

Dadan didn't say anything more about this, but simply stepped forward and patted Ruf on the shoulder.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. If you find this path difficult in the future, and things get tough, you'll always be welcome back!"

As she spoke, Dadan took one last look at Luffy, then sighed.
