I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

[By the way, host, could you give me a vial of your blood?]

"What do you want this for?"

"Ruf asked with a wary look on his face."

Does this mean the system is about to reveal its true nature and wants to use itself for human experiments?

[I just want to use the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit to equip the train with mechanical weapons. Didn't you keep saying the train had no means of attack?]

Upon hearing this, Luffy was taken aback, realizing that he had indeed said something similar before.

In the world of One Piece, the Pacifistas' lasers were created after analyzing Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit abilities.

"I can give it to you, but you have to make me some kind of Seraph version of the Pacifista!"

Luffy didn't want to return to the train some time later and see a dark-skinned version of himself on board.

Don't worry, I couldn't make it without Lunarian blood!

陾亿厁七.疚流僄%亻尔“?”

"So you really still want to do it?" Seeing Luffy's shocked expression, the system stopped joking.

[Just kidding, our system has rules against doing anything that harms the host!]

"I hope that's really the case!"

At this moment, a syringe appeared in front of Luffy.

"Come, dear host, give me some of your blood~"

At this moment, the system, like a mad scientist, stared excitedly at Luffy's body.

Luffy simply took the syringe silently and pricked his arm with it.

After injecting a full dose of blood, Luffy handed it to the system in front of him.

[Thank you, host. I will make the laser weapon you requested as soon as possible!]

The system's voice also carried a hint of excitement as it carefully put away the syringe filled with Luffy's blood.

"Oh, and this is for you too!"

As he spoke, Luffy took out the small sphere containing the star core from his system space.

Now that we're back, let's just hand over the star core to the system for processing.

【Oh, this is a huge help! It's such a coincidence that the train is completely out of power, and it's pitch black at night, so I can't work properly!】

With that, the system tossed the star core into the power room to provide it with energy.

After doing all this, Luffy's mission to return to the train was also complete.

"I have things to do this afternoon, so I'll be leaving now!"

【Then I'll continue modifying the train! Remember to come see me again next time, host~】

As he spoke, the small white ball in front of Luffy also merged into the train and disappeared.

Seeing the system leave, Luffy had no intention of staying there any longer.

So he transformed into a beam of light and quickly returned to Beloborg.

Today, a major event also happened in Bellberg.

Two days ago, President Cocolia ordered the reopening of the upper and lower levels, which had been sealed off for almost ten years.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for most people, both on and off the upper floors.

After all, many families were separated because of the sudden lockdown ten years ago.

Now that it's reopened, it feels like we can finally meet again.

Of course, for some residents of the upper-class area who consider themselves noble, the lower-class area is a slum.

Naturally, they didn't want these commoners to set foot on the land belonging to their noble upper class.

Unfortunately, the upper district is now mostly populated by Cocolia's people.

All those who opposed it were relegated to the outskirts of the city to grow crops!

Therefore, no one caused trouble on the day the upper and lower floors reopened.

At the cable car station connecting the upper and lower levels.

The once empty cable car station is now packed with people.

All eyes were drawn to the passage leading to the lower level.

Those who have family in the lower-level areas all hope to see their family members as soon as possible.

Soon, as the cable car came into view, the people on the platform couldn't help but get excited.

"Wow, there are so many people!"

At that moment, among the first passengers to board the cable car, a blonde little girl poked her head out of the car.

Looking at the crowds on both sides of the platform, I couldn't help but sigh.

Back in Panyan Town, it was rare to see so many people standing together.

Just as Hook was curiously looking around, a hand grabbed his protruding head and pulled it back down.

"Hook, do you know how dangerous it is to stick your head out of the window?"

Seeing Seele's angry face, Hook's head drooped.

"I'm sorry, Hook knows he was wrong."

Seeing Hook admit his mistake, Seele's gaze softened.

"Hook, your father entrusted you to me, and I don't want anything to happen to you, you know?"

"Hook knows!"

"Does Hook remember what your father told you?"

"Don't talk to strangers, don't eat anything given by strangers, and don't go with strangers. Stay by Seele's side and listen to Seele!"

Hook honestly repeated his father's instructions.

Seeing this, Seele nodded in satisfaction.

"Good to know. If I lost you, I'd be too ashamed to face your father!"

As Seele lectured Hook, the cable car slowly arrived at the station.

Seeing the cable car doors about to open, Seele became a little nervous.

"Hook, remember to stay close to me and don't get lost!"

Seeing Hook's excited expression, Seele reminded him again.

Book 1: Chapter 91 Seele - Illiterate

Seele and Hook managed to squeeze through the crowd and finally made it to the outside.

"Wow, Sister Xier, look! The sky is really blue!"

Looking at the boundless blue sky, Hook couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

As a child born in the lower districts, Hook had never seen the real sky.

Looking up, all you could see were gray, drab rock walls.

Hooke had only ever seen descriptions of the sky in picture books.

Seeing Hook looking around, Seele smiled.

"Alright, Hook, I promised to take you to the Upper District. Where do you want to go?"

Hearing Seele's words, Hook, who was curiously looking around, began to think.

"Is there anywhere you'd like to go, Sister Seele?"

"Me? I'm not in a hurry, am I?"

Although Seele really wanted to find Luffy and Bronya, she also promised Hook's father that she would take care of Hook.

So we had no choice but to postpone it.

However, for Seele and Hook, who have basically never been to the Upper District, this is a different story.

Looking at the unfamiliar city, the two of them really felt guilty. They didn't know where to go first.

"Guess who I am?"

Just then, a pair of hands blindfolded Seele.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Seele was about to speak when Hook, standing beside her, gave the answer first.

"It's Brother Luffy!"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Luffy had no choice but to lower his hand and pat Hook's head helplessly.

"It's not a good time to reveal my identity!"

"Then how about we pretend Hook didn't say anything and start over?"

However, Seele rolled her eyes at Luffy in response to Hook's proposal.

"Forget it, Hook and Luffy are both grown men, why are they still playing such childish games!"

"You don't understand, a man is a boy until he dies!"

As he spoke, Luffy took out a handful of candy from the system inventory and handed it to Hook.

Hook took the candy and happily ate it.

After dealing with Hook, Luffy started talking to Seele.

"Where's Bronya? I haven't seen her anywhere."

Seeing that only Luffy had come, Seele seemed a little disappointed.

I thought I'd get to see Bronya this time.

Ruff explained this.

"Since the upper and lower levels have reopened today, Cocolia has sent a lot of Silvermane Iron Guards here to maintain order, as has Bronya, but she seems to be stationed at another exit!"

In other words, strictly speaking, they took the wrong exit.

"Should we go see her mother?"

Luffy asked, but Seele shook her head.

"Forget it, I won't bother her with this good thing!"

After all, they are working right now, so it's really not appropriate to bother them.

"Could you please show us around Belleburg today?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy readily agreed.

"Of course, no problem. Let me think about where we'd like to go?"

Although Luffy wasn't a local of Belloborg, he had explored the entire upper district of Belloborg over the past few days.

Luffy also knew what fun things there were to do.

Just as Luffy was thinking about where to take Seele and Hook to play.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from inside Seele's stomach.

Upon hearing this, Luffy couldn't help but look at Seele.

At this moment, Seele was also blushing and covering her stomach.

"There was no other way. There were just too many people in the upper area. In order to catch the first cable car, Hook and I went to queue up early in the morning, so we didn't eat anything!"

Seeing Seele trying her best to explain, Luffy smiled knowingly.

"Shall we go get something to eat first?"

After all, Luffy couldn't possibly let Seele and Hook play in the Upper District on an empty stomach.
