2 The Godfather System

When Richard enabled the system silently in his mind, the mechanized voice of the system also sounded.

[Before opening the newbie package random 1-star world is being selected ….]

Richard was confused about the notification he received, but he kept quiet for now while thinking he would ask about it later.

[..One Piece World selected

[The newbie package opened successfully,

Item: Silver Level- Treasure Box (Fruit version)

Bonus: Bronze Level- Treasure Box (World Version)

Bonus: 100 Skill points]

"Silver and bronze treasure chests? What are they..." Richard was slightly confused.

He could guess some clues just from the literal meaning, but in the end, he couldn't be sure and could only make a rough guess.

The system also explained promptly:

[The treasure chests currently owned by the system are divided into four levels, namely: Iron, bronze, silver, and gold. The probability of obtaining corresponding items when opening treasure chests of different levels are also completely different.

When the host opens a silver-level treasure chest, there is a 5% chance of getting a gold-level item, a 60% chance of getting a silver-level item, a 25% chance of getting a bronze-level item, and a 10% chance of getting an iron-level item.

When the host opens a bronze-level treasure chest, there is a 10% chance of getting a silver-level item, a 60% chance of getting a bronze-level item, a 20% chance of getting an iron-level item, and a 10% chance of getting a consolation prize.]

"What about the Skill point, the 'fruit' or 'world' version?" Richard asked silently in his mind.

[Skill points are points granted by the system for the host to use on anything for the system. They can be used to exchange for items and strengthen the host's ability. There are many ways to obtain them. The host can explore the specific situation by himself.

The fruit version chest can open any devil fruit in the world of One Piece... However, after systematic improvements, the new fruit has eliminated the weakness of seawater and sea stones, and there is no longer the restriction of eating only one.

The World version treasure chest can unlock anything in the One Piece world, whether it is devil fruits, martial arts secrets, weapons, or even characters but incredibly rare ... as long as there is anything in the One Piece world, you can get it.]

"Even characters are created?" Richard was surprised.

[Absolutely. As long as they are famous characters in the One Piece world, even Sea King or beasts can be rewarded. After being summoned, these characters and beasts will automatically become the host's loyal subordinates and regard the host as their boss.]

'It sounds awesome, but why are they all from the world of One Piece...?, it is because of that world selection?" Richard asks, curious about the selection and why.

It wasn't that he was not happy with it but he was just curious why one piece and what it meant by one star. His gratitude for the system was off the roof because it removed the main reason why many of the isekied protagonists don't ask about the devil fruit powers from One Piece World.

System: "The rewards are chosen from any of the world rated by the system according to the world power level. One piece was randomly selected for the host from the list of 1-star world list. As the level of host permission increases the chances of the host obtaining reward from that star world also increases but rarely."

'Then is it one world per star? And how many stars are there? how to increase the star level?' Richard asked frantically in his mind, tensing his shoulder, but it immediately relaxed with Tifanny's shoulder rub.

System: [Host permission is too low, when host permission level increases host can inquire]

"..." receiving it he became speechless, thinking they would only make him think about the issue more.

The system's reaction made Richard a little frustrated, 'fuu…' however he relaxed quickly,

Because feeling frustrated at the system is better than having no system at all.

To be honest, in this world where superheroes and supervillains are filled to the brim, especially in the USA, a group of Mutants, Inhuman, geniuses out of the world, etc. can pop up at every turn, and there are even a lot of gods, demons, and interdimensional beings. It is really hard for an ordinary person to live without fear.

Richard admires his 'Father' kingpin, who can stand out in this world of superheroes and supervillains that's not something even people with superpowers can accomplish, in Marvel kingpin used his power and charisma to stand at the top.

"According to the system, I will be able to use more than one devil fruit even without the main weakness of those and many more..!" Richard was moved, feeling excited and ambitious for the future, imagining awakening 2 fruits simultaneously and summoning legendary characters like whitebeard, zoro, or even Luffy.

Without any superpower, Kingpin with his high-level fighting skills, charisma, and brain for crimes was able to navigate this absurd world filled with crime-fighting superheroes and still able to win against some of them.

He was excited just by thinking about the version of 'Kingpin' with superpowers.

…

After some communication with the system, Richard also gained a better understanding of the rewards the system can provide.

First of all, the potential of these fruits provided by the system is much greater than the original devil fruits in the One Piece world mainly because of the elimination of seawater weakness, considering the applications to be able to use the fruits inside the water, its power level goes through the roof.

It can be completely understood as the blessed fruit rather than the Devil Fruit!

As for the four levels of iron, bronze, silver, and gold mentioned by the system, if they correspond to fruits, they are four levels divided based on the power and development potential of the given fruit, but that is according development shown in the show according to the system, so any fruit can be elevated to the level of gold, and any gold level can be labeled as iron but rarely. But some of the iron-level fruit are useless.

Taking an example from the system, fruit of iron level and fruit of gold level

Ordinary Zoan-type fruits, such as the most basic 'Tori-tori no mi' and 'inu-inu no mi, are iron-level fruits; while Devil fruits like Pika-Pika no mi' and 'goro-goro no mi' are either The top-level logia-type fruits or Paramecia type devil fruit such as 'Gura-Gura no mi' or 'Soru-Soru no mi', as well as the Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit such as Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix and the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu, are all gold-level fruits.

Although they say there is no weakest fruit, only the weakest user, it is an irrefutable fact that there are stronger and weaker fruits.

'In other words, as long as my luck is decent, I have more than half the chance of getting a silver-level fruit when I open the Silver-Level Treasure Box, fruit version' After learning more about the situation, Richard thought excitedly.

He couldn't help but feel giddy. Even in his previous life, he thought more than once about what would it be like to have superpowers given he was a Marvel fan.

If he could possess any silver-level devil fruit he would immediately gain superpower elevating his status in this superhero society.

System: [Theoretically, this is correct.]

'Then what are you waiting for? Let's open the box!' Richard thought expectantly.

When he decided to open the box, a virtual three-dimensional image of a silver treasure box immediately appeared in his mind.

The next moment, the silver treasure chest was slowly opened——

"The 'Silver Level- Treasure Box (Fruit version)' opened successfully...obtained a silver-level fruit 'Bari-bari no mi '!"

Following the system prompts, the three-dimensional image of the silver treasure chest in his mind disappeared and turned into an image of a devil fruit.

"Ohh thank god I didn't have sh*ty luck" Richard revealed when he knew he didn't have a low level of luck.

But the feeling was immediately replaced with delight. ' Bartolomeo barrier fruit would be useful, its offensive ability is decent, and defensive ability is absolute' Richard was happy because while he would want more offensive type fruit given that his assassin was still at a loss a defensive ability is more than welcome.
