Chapter 2 The First Life Simulation

When I watched One Piece before, as a spectator all I saw were the passionate battles and the touching friendship between companions.

But only through personal experience did Wood truly understand how vicious the so-called "pirates" were.

Pirates like Luffy are always very rare in this ocean.

It is not a problem to even say that the Straw Hat Pirates are more like adventurers than pirates.

It is undeniable that there are pirates like Whitebeard and Shanks who protect others.

But more pirates actually go to sea for profit and fame. They are not good men and women, otherwise how could they be called "pirates".

Today, the population of Red Leaf Island has dropped by more than a quarter since the advent of the "Great Pirate Age".

Some people died tragically at the hands of pirates, while others could not stand the pirates' frequent visits and never chose to leave the island.

However, Wood knew that the "Great Pirate Age" had begun, and now there was no place in the entire ocean that was strictly safe.

Even if we leave Red Leaf Island, who can guarantee that we won't encounter other pirates on the sea?

The vast ocean is full of hope, but it is also extremely dangerous. If an inexperienced person goes out to sea, he or she will almost certainly die.

In addition to the possibility of encountering vicious pirates, there are too many unpredictable factors such as tsunamis and sea kings.

If you want to live in this world and gain strict security, improving your own strength is the real truth.

Wood is now fifteen years old and has reached a height of 1.8 meters. Judging from his appearance, he should be able to grow taller in the next two years.

He used to be quite complacent. After all, this height and his above-average looks made Wood feel very involved. Who would mind being reborn as a long-legged Oppa?

However, when Wood later learned that the world he was in was a pirate world, he suddenly felt that his height did not meet the standard of "long legs" in this world.

The average height of people in the pirate world is outrageous, and they are all generally overdeveloped, not to mention special races such as giants.

Ordinary humans, such as the three admirals of the navy, have an average height of about three meters. Even the wife of many One Piece fans, the Pirate Empress Hancock, is 191 centimeters tall.

In this way, Wood, who was 1.8 meters tall at the age of 15, would be considered a dwarf at best in this world, and he really wasn't tall...

Back to the topic, the above is just Wood's experience on the island during this period. His top priority at present is to make himself stronger.

After completing the task, Wood got a chance to play the Sims. There was no need to explain the related abilities, as Wood had played a lot of them in his previous life.

So after putting down the axe, Wood collapsed to the ground and started his first life simulation.

"At the age of 15, because the Red Leaf Island where you lived was repeatedly burned, killed and looted by pirates, you were filled with indignation and decided to become stronger, and began physical training day and night.

At the age of 16, the Navy Headquarters realized the strategic value of Red Leaf Island and sent warships there, but they just happened to pass by you when you left Red Leaf Island...

At the age of 17, you left Red Leaf Island. After two years of experience at sea, you acquired certain sailing skills and wiped out a small pirate group.

At the age of 18, you were young and energetic. In order to hunt down a notorious pirate group, you ended up accidentally entering the Calm Belt.

At the age of 19, you strayed into the Calm Belt. After holding out for a while, you ran out of food and perished in the sea with your boat...

Because you are dead, this simulation ends."

Unlike the simulator Wood had played before, which could easily simulate hundreds of years of tribulation, Wood was speechless when he saw only a few messages appearing on the screen.

How to say it, it was unexpected, yet it seemed reasonable.

This sea is full of dangers, and I am not like Wang Luffy who has the whole sea as his relatives and has the aura of the protagonist.

The moment you decide to go out to sea, you are already facing a great risk of death.

It is better to say that for a newbie like Wood, he was able to go out to sea alone and live on the sea for several years, during which time he seemed to have killed quite a few pirates, which was somewhat beyond Wood's expectations.

"This simulation is over, you can choose to receive the following rewards.

1. The results of physical training before leaving Red Leaf Island.

2. Relevant navigation knowledge gained from several years of sailing.

3. The property on the ship before it was buried in the sea.

4. A combat skill that is used randomly during a battle with pirates.

Looking at the four options that popped up, Wood chose the fourth option directly after a brief hesitation.

The first option seems good, but in the next year, Wood's physical fitness can also be improved as long as he exercises step by step.

As for the second and third, they are too useless for Wood at the moment.

Although his navigation knowledge and treasures are great, after seeing the results of his simulated life, Wood obviously would not choose to go out to sea alone again. In other words, he would never go out to sea easily before he has reached the required strength!

The fourth option is actually quite risky. If you choose the first option, Wood can save a year of training time. But if you choose the fourth option, no one knows whether you will draw some useless abilities.

But even so, after weighing the pros and cons, Wood finally chose the fourth reward.

The reason is very simple. Wood believes that physical training can be done at any time, but the experience and skills of fighting the enemy are more valuable.

As the saying goes, talking on paper can never compare to real fighting on the field!

Since Wood was able to kill an unknown small pirate group after he turned 18, it means that he already has a certain level of strength.

Even if he could acquire a little bit of his fighting skills, it would definitely be much better than practicing hard alone on the island.

"Ding, congratulations on extracting a piece of swordsmanship experience."

When Wood saw the reward pop up on the system interface, he just showed an overjoyed expression, and a large amount of memories were directly instilled into Wood's head.

Wood knew nothing about swords before, but now if he had a knife in his hand, he felt that he could wield it as easily as his own arm.

Wood in The Sims had mastered the "Iron Cutting" level swordsmanship that allowed all things to breathe before he was buried in the sea, but now all these things have become Wood's possessions.

"Iron Cutting" and "External Slashing" are two symbols of a swordsman. Although the 18-year-old Wood in The Sims is still unable to release an external slashing attack, he has obviously reached the threshold of a "swordsman"!
