Zoldyck Conquest #1 .

"Let me see if I understand, a boat, and how to use it? A pseudo-system with too many drawbacks? And a new body?" I asked in confirmation mode.

"Good," replied the old man in front of me.

"Can I choose ooor?"

"Only the body, the boat will be a fully equipped sailboat and large enough for a small crew of about 5-6 people although not so large that more than 1 person is needed to navigate it, obviously it will also be strong enough to get to Water Seven and upgrade or change it, it will be something to start with, after all I don't plan on leaving you stranded on an island" The old man allowed a short period of time to digest his words before continuing.

'It's good enough, the problem will be getting enough <Berries> or <Gold> for an upgrade or a new ship'

"Regarding the system, it will be something simple, it will not have extravagant levels or abilities like the ones you know, and the closest thing will be to the video game <Skyrim>, you will have specific branches to your abilities, each one linked to one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac...

- Elaboration <Aries>

- Melee <Taurus>

- Slashing Weapon <Aquarius>

- Blunt Weapon <Piscis>

- Shooter <Sagittarius>

- Alchemy <Cancer>

- Eloquence <Gemini>

- Discretion <Scorpio>

- Devil Fruit <Capricorn>

- Armament Haki <Libra>

- Observation Haki <Virgo>

- Conqueror's Haki <Leo>

... you will have an <x2> in <Exp> in their respective constellations while they have been in the skies, this buff will last 12 hours, it is a way to help you improve and as this world is not exactly "normal" The constellations that come out on one island they may not be the same on the next island or even at 25 meters. Each of them will have their own ramifications as you level up the skill, the best example would be <Armament Haki> which is divided into Attack and Defense. To gain <Exp> you need to repeatedly use skills or objects related to any of these constellations, either wielding a sword or striking with a hammer, although obviously simple actions will cease to be effective at a certain level of the skill, so you're not going to be able to increase Elaboration by creating 50 thousand leather bracelets ", they told me these last words with a certain air of superiority, and for a moment I felt a bit ashamed to think about it, but, I'm not the only one to do it, right?

"Finally, as for the 'system' to access the level increases, as well as access to the system in general, you will need a carved stone, said the stone will work as a dreamcatcher so you must have it when you go to sleep, when you fall asleep (with the 'dreamcatcher' nearby) you will enter the system and you can modify it, the stone will only work with you and you can 'Elaborate' with <Sea Stone> in case of losing it, even so, I recommend that you do not do it, you will have <1> by your bed when I send you to that world, a detail to keep in mind please note that you can only reset your options a total of <2>, so you will have at your disposal a total of <3> attempts at most to find your style"

'The system is extremely basic but efficient enough, with this I will be able to improve at a good pace'

"Regarding your 'body', make your 'wish', the only detail I need to remind you is that they will not be able to use the energies of their respective worlds, neither the <ki> in Dragon Ball nor the <Chakra> in Naruto, so desiring the body will only affect its appearance and power, in terms of abilities I will not turn you into a Saiyan or another race that is not from One Piece itself or adapts to the existing ones so do not get any illusions, at most I can modify certain abilities to match this world without interfering with its powers, although of course, you can also go with your previous body or something similar to what exists in that world"

'Ummm, I have doubts, my previous body could only be considered above average, but if having Goku's body is of no use to me if I don't get his Saiyan physique then what are my options ... Jotaro? very flamboyant, although it would be fun to pose just because I can ... Kise? maybe his perfect copy can be recreated, that would help me a lot with my repertoire of movements ...Killua? I remember falling in love (#NoHomo) with her character in the series and her resistance to poisons and her trained physique would be extremely helpful ... '

"I have a question, with characters from the anime world like Kise or Killua, exactly how would you go about 're-creating' their abilities or which ones would be eliminated" I dismissed Jotaro because JoJo's abilities seem to OP to be recreated.

The old man rubbed his beard. "For Kise, it would be a new branch of Observation H as well as an above-average muscle memory. Since for Killua his abilities are much more specific and there are two ways, one is to create a mink body that allows you to use <Electro> naturally. The other way is to create a 'new race', humans with Mink abilities but without the advantage of <Sulong>, it would still be more human than 'animal', resistance to poison and torture is something simple since within said world there are people who have developed it"

I analyzed my options, being a Demi-Human or a Human with a great <H Observation>, I ended up discarding the complete Mink for the <Tenryuubito>, the more visually human the less I will attract attention in my weak moments.

"I already made my choice, I wish the body was that of the most 'human' Killua, but I hope he is the same age (19) as me before arriving here." Emphasize the age issue by not wanting to get stuck in a 12-year-old body.

The old man stood up and still stroking his beard with one hand made a sign with the other, "So be it, next to the body you will inherit the surname Zoldyck, but you will keep your old name, from now on you are <Zoldyck D Marcus> and for Last one piece of advice, everything has antecedents to your body or ship, you will understand when you merge"

I didn't have time to respond when a sensation of vertigo hit me before my vision blurred and I felt a tug on my entire body.

----

My eyes snapped open and let out a groan of anguish, "Ah!"

The jump was so abrupt and the sensation so unpleasant that my whole body began to sweat cold, wait ... My body? My body! I finally have a body, I got up from the bed I was in and intuitively ran to the bathroom.

Once I opened the bathroom door, I went to the mirror and looked at myself carefully, Zoldyck D Marcus. 19 years old. The last scion of the defunct Zoldyck family and did look like Killua to me, the big difference would be my features that were of a young adult, my long and spiky hair that reaches the height of the neck, and my height that was the same as in my previous life, this being 190cm.

Returning to "Last scion of the extinct Zoldyck family", it seems that I have a story, the Zoldyck Family or Clan was a royal family on an island of the <Calm Belt> this island despite being affiliated with the world government was the lair of one of the largest Assassin Syndicates in this world. The Zoldyck Familia was one of the many affiliated nobles, but they were also the leaders of a said syndicate, so it took a long time until one of the newer members bit off more than he could chew and tried to kill a <Tenryuubito> Before being captured, this led to the discovery and persecution of the Zoldyck family, thus becoming enemy number 2 of the World Government, and with the fall and death of Roger, it became number 1, that is, until in the year 1501 just 1 year after Roger's death, they attacked, they used a <Buster Call> to disappear the island and all the inhabitants in it, either they are part of the union of simple civilians.

My parents were saved because they were not on the island but they were hunted, hunted like the rest of the lucky ones who were saved from said massacre, somehow the World Government got the trade unionist to speak not only about the organization but also about the many skills of our family, this gave them an advantage over us until they exterminated them all 5 years ago, my father being the last one I know.

I was never really attached to my family, my father was a "pure" Zoldyck who only had me as a means to an end, after all the Government seemed to know all the members of the family but, one born after the slaughter? I was his trap letter, prepared and trained for revenge.

My mother, on the other hand, was a servant, although not just any type, she may not have Zoldyck blood or abilities, but she was still trained on the island for the same thing as my father, Assassinate, she was still much more stable. .. that my father. I don't know what to say, they were both rubbish as parents, they just focused on training me and putting me through hell to become "strong", hours and hours of shock therapy to stimulate my <Electro> and make me resistant to electricity, not to mention the number of times I was poisoned and "cured" just to assimilate the poisons and antidotes that now run through my blood.

I looked at my chest and noticed the scars, many of them made to get used to the pain, and I feel like all these memories should bother me, but I can't get to feel bad, for some strange reason.

I sighed as I left the bathroom, entering the room again, the room consisted of a double bed and a sofa, closet, and dresser, it was a much larger room than I expected.

The boat (since I don't know whether to call it a sailboat) has 2 rooms with a maximum capacity of 3 people without it starting to get uncomfortable, both have a bathroom and are located in the lower front part.

In the lower rear part of the boat, there are 2 small warehouses, one refrigerated that serves for food and another where materials, weapons, and cannonballs are stored, in the latter, there is also an engine that can be powered with electricity or fuel, either of wood. , coal or anything else that burns, said motor can be recharged by my <Electro> from the <Control Cabin> place on the top of the boat where the rudder and a large table for maps are located, as well as a ladder to go down to the lower central part, where the kitchen is and a long sofa connected to a table

In the upper outer part are the two black candles with the zodiac symbol corresponding to <Leo> in orange, there is also enough space to train if desired, on the sides, there are two covered cannons that serve as defense, and they are sufficiently disguised... not be noticed until fire opens

I was really expecting something simpler when I heard that it would be something to start with, but it really is more than I expected, so much more.

I took the helm and approached the map table, according to this and my memories, I must be in East Blue, south of Shells Town, north of Cocoyashi Island, and east of Syrup Village, 5 days from any of them.

Why is this? Apparently I stayed here only 1 week and 3 days after Luffy arrived in Shells Town and the Elder thought it would be fun to see my choice, since as he said "This is your wish but you choose how to fulfill it"

I don't plan on joining Luffy, I like his character (I love One Piece after all) but it's impossible for me to see Luffy as a good leader, he has the desire but not the mindset, he only gets serious when we talk about a situation of life or death, and considering how much the old man stressed to me that this place is 10 times more dangerous than what they show, well I don't think so, and all this without commenting that it still amazes me that I could get out alive for Marineford.

And obviously I did not come to this world to be under the orders of someone, if I came here it was to become the King of the Pirates, it would be the same if I had asked to go to the world of Harry Potter then I would want to be a great wizard. Just fulfilling a dream, childish? Maybe, but who has never dreamed of something like this? And if given the opportunity, why not take it?

I see this as a second chance and I am not going to waste it, whether I have to kill, steal, or be considered the greatest criminal in this world, what difference does it make? I will do what I want always following my desires and my morals, 'Although it seems that my mentality changed somehow, didn't it?'

I set a course south. My destiny? Cocoyashi Island. My goal ?, to hit Arlong as hard as I can, I may not need to go as I have no plans to recruit Nami, but I have always believed that Arlong and the rat came out too unscathed and it is a personal necessity. more than anything else.
