"Detected acceptance of Monkey D. Luffy's invitation to become a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."
"Faction Fortune (Super Gold) has updated the faction to the Pirate Faction."
"Straw Hat Pirate member entries can be loaded. Current loadable entry target is the Straw Hat Pirates Captain, Monkey D. Luffy.
Loadable entries are: Superman Physique (Deep Purple), Sun God (Super Gold), Gomu Gomu no Mi [Disguise] (Deep Purple). Do you wish to load?"
After confirming his acceptance of Luffy's invitation, a light screen, visible only to Rouen, appeared before him.
In a very user-friendly manner, the Strongest Entry System displayed three loadable entries from Luffy, each with an "Immediately Load" option.
Strong Relationships (Special) was a special entry based on Luffy's background and interpersonal relationships, so it couldn't be loaded directly. However, as Luffy's companion, Rouen could still enjoy the benefits of this entry, so it wasn't a big deal.
Rouen pondered for a moment, then selected 'Yes' for Superman Physique (Deep Purple) and Sun God (Super Gold) in his mind.
He chose not to load the Gomu Gomu no Mi [Disguise] (Deep Purple) entry.
Without completing its awakening to become the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika, the Gomu Gomu no Mi was merely an ordinary Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.
To unleash its full power, one would need to develop abilities like Gear Second, Gear Third, and Gear Fourth.
However, according to information from the original work, using these abilities consumes the user's lifespan, which Rouen, who could convert others' abilities into entries and plunder them, considered not worth it.
Later, once Luffy awakened and gained Nika Power, Rouen would simply load the Nika Power.
The Nika-exclusive Imagination, which was almost like a BUG, was the true power of this Devil Fruit.
After Rouen finished selecting his loadable items, two new entries appeared in his own entries.
Entries (Rouen): Navigation Skill (White), Beast Strength (Blue), Conqueror's Haki (Light Gold), Faction Fortune (Super Gold);
Superman Physique (Deep Purple) (Loading): --
Sun God (Super Gold) (Loading): --
It was quite straightforward, but compared to direct plundering, the progress bar behind the loaded entries was indeed slow.
Superman Physique (Deep Purple) was fine; after a moment, it at least showed some movement.
As for Sun God (Super Gold), the progress bar didn't move at all. At least with Rouen's eyesight, he couldn't see it move.
But that was to be expected; after all, it was a Super Gold-level entry, so it would definitely take a long time to load completely.
Fortunately, Rouen had already joined the Straw Hat Pirates, giving him plenty of time to load, so there was no rush.
Being able to load was much better than just staring blankly because he couldn't plunder these powerful entries from Luffy at the moment.
Anyway, these entries would belong to Rouen sooner or later.
He could slowly test later to see if there was any way to speed up this loading process.
"Then let's get ready to set sail. We need to find a ship first; my ship was swallowed by that great whirlpool."
Luffy adjusted his straw hat and grinned.
Luffy was in a very good mood after finding his first companion.
"If we find a ship, I know a bit of simple navigation."
Rouen also smiled upon hearing this.
This was why Rouen had plundered Koby's Navigation Skill (White) entry.
Rouen hadn't forgotten that in the original story, before Nami became their navigator, Luffy basically navigated by drifting.
And in the original story, it was Koby, that clown, who led Luffy to Zoro using this Navigation Skill (White).
Now that Koby was dealt with by Rouen, it was natural to take this entry and temporarily fill in as the Straw Hat Pirates' navigator.
"You're a navigator? That's great! It's so good to have you on board, Rouen!"
Luffy was overjoyed.
"It's just some simple navigation, not enough to be called a navigator. It's fine for sailing on calm seas in the Four Seas, but for the Grand Line, my navigation skills won't be enough.
Luffy, you want to become the Pirate King, so you must go to the Grand Line, right?"
Rouen asked with a smile.
"Of course! To conquer the Grand Line is the only way to become the Pirate King. I've made a promise."
Luffy held his straw hat in his hand, his eyes filled with memories.
Rouen knew this was Luffy's promise with the Four Emperors, Red-haired Shanks.
"Then, finding a navigator who can sail the Grand Line is very necessary."
Rouen said, and in his mind, the graceful figure he had just danced with not long ago appeared.
"Hehe, I'll definitely find companions! I'm sure I will."
Luffy put his straw hat back on and laughed optimistically.
"Boom!"
Just then, a wild boar-like figure crashed through the deck from above the cabin, landing heavily in front of Rouen and Luffy.
"Are you two brats the ones looking for trouble with our pirate crew?"
A creature holding a large iron mace, extremely ugly and barely human, snarled with a bloodthirsty grin.
Above the shattered deck, there were many pirate subordinates.
"Looks like it's not Pirate Hunter Zoro."
After scanning Luffy and Rouen, Alvida bared her teeth and grinned menacingly.
"Zoro?"
Luffy looked confused.
"Koby! You useless brat, are you still alive?"
Alvida yelled at Koby, who was lying motionless on the side, but received no response.
Her wild boar-like face was filled with annoyance.
She wasn't concerned about Koby's life or death, but rather unsatisfied that she hadn't heard Koby's praises for her.
"Who is this rude old hag?"
Luffy pointed at Alvida curiously.
"!!!"
The members of Alvida's Pirate Crew on the deck were too scared to speak.
"Hahaha, she's Iron Mace Alvida, with a bounty of five million Beli."
Rouen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Luffy's blunt words.
"Read entry."
Then he looked at Alvida.
Entry (Alvida): Iron Mace (Blue), Super Bogan (Blue).
Iron Mace (Blue): Able to wield a heavy iron mace that ordinary people cannot lift.
Super Bogan (Blue): Even if the owner jumps from a ten-story building, their wild boar-like thick fat will keep them safe and sound.
Seeing Alvida's entries, Rouen couldn't help but curve his lips upwards.
"Super Bogan" was indeed very fitting.
Luffy's words, combined with Rouen's laughter, were the greatest insult in Alvida's eyes.
"Die! You two brats!"
Alvida roared, raising her massive iron mace and smashing it towards Rouen and Luffy.
"Whoosh!"
With his Beast Strength, Rouen pushed off the ground, leaping with Luffy through the large hole Alvida had created, onto the deck.
"I'm not 'brat,' I'm Monkey D. Luffy, a pirate. Nice to meet you."
Luffy grinned.
"Who cares what you're called, you brat!"
Alvida charged forward.
"What a fierce old hag."
Luffy looked helpless.
"Brat!"
Alvida's eyes were completely red now.
And the pirate subordinates knew they had to perform now, or the enraged Alvida would surely smash their heads with her iron mace later.
So they swarmed towards Luffy and Rouen, shouting curses.
"They're ganging up on us!"
Luffy shouted, preparing to use his Gomu Gomu no Mi abilities to fight.
"Leave it to me."
Rouen reached out and stopped Luffy.
In his eyes, a reddish-black light suddenly flared.
