"This is…"
Kebi collapsed onto the ground, and as soon as he picked up the strange fruit, a sharp-eyed pirate snatched it away.
"Captain Alvida, look, what is this thing?"
"Devil Fruit!?"
Alvida carefully toyed with the fruit, then recalled the legends treated as fairy tales in the East Blue.
"Legend says that pirates who eat a Devil Fruit will forever be cursed by the sea, but at the same time, they will gain powerful abilities!"
Hearing her words, all the pirates showed greedy looks.
But constrained by Alvida, who tightly gripped her giant spiked club, they could only look on enviously.
Alvida excitedly picked up the fruit.
She originally intended to eat it in one bite, but before she could put it into her mouth, the fruit transformed into a strange scroll with a mission written on it.
[Contract Mission (1/5)]
Mission Content: Hand over 5 million Berries
Mission Reward: Lv.1 Newbie Iron Gauntlets (White)
Hint: Complete five bounty missions to become a Reincarnation Game Newbie Player.
Alvida quickly stopped, frowning as she looked at the content on the scroll, and sneered, "Who is trying to trick me out of my treasure? 5 million Berries for a pair of gauntlets?"
The pirate who had just snatched the fruit quickly pointed at Kebi and said, "It's him, I got the fruit from him."
"Kebi!"
Alvida angrily threw the scroll at Kebi, scolding, "If I didn't need a handyman, I would definitely smash you into meat paste! Get to the ship's hold and clean!"
Kebi was hit by the scroll, rolling twice before hitting the ship's mast.
Upon hearing her words, he quickly hugged the scroll and ran with his head down into the ship's hold.
"Master, are such Devil Contracts useful?"
When the first fruit was activated, Afu could sense it and observe the holder's movements, much like observing a player.
These Devil Contracts looked like a combination of a low-level trial token and a mission scroll.
Seeing Kebi, who was already attracted by the Devil Contract and showed a struggle in his eyes, Fang Yi smiled and said, "That's right, anyone who obtains a Devil Contract can trigger a low-difficulty mission within a surrounding area once."
For example, handing over treasure, catching a King of the Near Sea, collecting rare ores, gathering herbs, and so on…
Completing these low-difficulty missions allows one to obtain corresponding rewards, and upon completing all of them, one can enter the Pirate World Newbie Village.
"Unlike the Ninja World, where there are Ninja Clan inheritances and most ninjas can exchange Ninja Art as starting reward points."
On the screen, Kebi quietly snuck into the treasure storage room under the guise of cleaning.
Fang Yi chuckled, pointing at him and saying, "In the Pirate World, the combat techniques of most beings are crude and unrefined; relying solely on pure, primitive instinct, they simply don't have the capital to be converted into reward points."
"However, unlike the established hierarchy in the Ninja World, even the weakest commoners and slaves in the Pirate World possess something extremely powerful."
"Ambition!"
The combined treasure of the Alvida Pirates was only 5 million Berries; the missions triggered by the Devil Contract would not exceed the holder's ability to complete them.
Inside the ship's hold,
Kebi recalled the innocent villagers who were killed, the child released with a face full of hatred, and the village burning in flames…
The entire warehouse suddenly became empty.
[Mission Completed, Reward Issued]
Kebi swallowed, nervously scanning the empty warehouse, and suddenly felt a bit of regret.
He had suddenly been foolish, rashly believing a mysterious Devil Contract.
With the treasure gone,
Even if he couldn't prove he did it, Alvida's wrath would still be unleashed upon him, and he would very likely be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
Just then,
A pair of heavy iron gauntlets landed on Kebi.
[Newbie Iron Gauntlets Lv.1 (White)]: A newbie weapon produced by the Reincarnation Game. Strength +2 when equipped.
Hint: Devil Contract holders can temporarily activate the player template.
[Kebi]
Level: 1 (1/50 experience)
Attributes: Strength 2 (+2), Agility 2, Constitution 2, Spirit 3
Equipment: Newbie Iron Gauntlets
Skills: None
Hint: The basic physical quality of a normal human male in the Pirate World is [3].
"This is… the power of the Devil Contract?"
Kebi had never seen such a situation. He dazedly put on the iron gauntlets and suddenly felt his body become much stronger.
[Contract Mission (2/5)]
Mission Content: Kill the pirate Toz.
Mission Reward: Lv.1 Random Skill (White)
"You want me to… kill Toz?"
Kebi's lips trembled.
Naturally timid and weak, he hadn't even killed chickens or ducks, let alone a person.
Cowardly, clumsy, and isolated by his peers since childhood, he had gone fishing alone, boarded the wrong ship, and was taken on as a handyman by the Alvida Pirates.
Courage.
It was something he had never possessed, and absolutely could not possess.
Let alone the courage to kill.
Even if the treasure was lost and he was flattened by Alvida's spiked club, he probably wouldn't dare to resist, would he?
"So useless, it's a waste for such a person to get a Devil Contract."
Afu clearly didn't think highly of Kebi, who was physically chubby, had a round face, and looked easy to bully.
In the Ninja World, even the weakest Genin had seen blood and killed people; they were combat weapons.
Compared to that, there was too much difference.
Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Don't be impatient, just keep watching."
Kebi, who would later awaken Observation and Armed Haki and be personally taught by Garp, had a high soul potential.
He just hadn't yet had the courage to face his inner self.
"Kebi!"
"You bastard, get out here right now and bring another barrel of rum!"
"Yes!"
Kebi responded loudly, trembling all over.
He carefully locked the treasure warehouse, then went to the cargo hold at the back of the ship and carried out a barrel of rum.
The iron gauntlets were very magical; they disappeared when worn and would reappear on his fists when he mentally called for them. Even when they disappeared, as long as they were in the equipped state, they could still increase his strength.
He effortlessly carried out the barrel, but then heard a faint cry from inside.
Opening the barrel lid,
Inside was the child who had been released earlier, curled up in a ball, her face full of terror.
"Right, the entire village was ransacked by pirates. In that situation, hiding in a barrel was the best option."
It was just bad luck that she was carried onto the Alvida Pirates' ship.
Kebi took a deep breath and said, "Shhh, don't make a sound. I'll quietly let you go when we reach shore."
Bang.
The door to the cargo hold was kicked open.
Toz, reeking of alcohol, glared fiercely at Kebi and cursed, "I told you to carry a barrel of wine, and you dare to be lazy?"
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the child's head sticking out of the barrel.
His mind quickly understood, and he immediately said maliciously, "Kebi, so it was you. You let my prey go. It seems you don't want to be a handyman shipwright; you want to be shark bait."
"No… she's just a child who accidentally ran onto the ship. She can also work. Please don't tell Alvida!"
Clang.
The pirate Toz drew the short knife he carried, a malicious smile in his eyes, and walked towards the barrel.
"First, I'll kill the escaped prey, and as for you… Kebi, I'll tell Alvida, and then Captain will deal with it."
The pirate Toz contemptuously glanced at Kebi, pushed him aside, and turned his back, completely unguarded.
Such a cowardly and timid fellow, even if he were handed a short knife, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
"Wuwuwu…"
The child's crying.
Kebi's head buzzed; the villagers' screams, the pirates' sinister laughter, and the sound of houses burning in flames kept appearing.
What should I do? Should I continue standing here blankly?
But I'm just Kebi, the weakling nicknamed 'Cowardly Kebi' by my peers. Am I supposed to defeat the pirate Toz?
Can I really do it?
Kebi trembled violently, fine cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He looked at Toz, who had a sinister grin, and the iron gauntlets mysteriously appeared.
Bang.
A heavy punch landed squarely on the other's back.
Before the pirate Toz could turn around, a flurry of punches rained down.
Toz, who was burly and strong, had no chance to retaliate against Kebi, who was wearing the iron gauntlets. He was knocked unconscious with two punches to the head.
[Mission Completed, Reward Issued]
Kebi suddenly felt some special combat techniques appear in his mind.
[Straight Punch Lv.1 (White)]: A technique passed down from the ancient Southern Kingdom, which has long been destroyed. It gathers all the strength in the body and delivers a straight punch forward.
