Chapter 4 System Store
"Sharp Storm!"
Lucifer's cold voice resounded like a demon from hell, echoing in the ears of many pirates.
As the storm of sharp blades swept across, countless pirates died tragically under the sword.
In the end, more than 400 members of the Black Snake Pirates perished at Lucifer's hands.
The streets inside and outside the town were littered with the corpses of pirates, their bodies punctured by swords in a gruesome display of death.
The residents of the town escaped unharmed, watching Lucifer from among the ruins, fear evident in their eyes.
Although Lucifer had killed all the pirates and saved them, they dared not approach to thank him.
It's natural for the weak to fear the strong, especially given how brutally Lucifer had dispatched his foes.
Many residents looked at Lucifer with only fear in their eyes, not gratitude.
"It looks like I can't stay on this island any longer."
Lucifer realized this from the fear the townspeople displayed towards him.
He walked out of town and made his way to the shore.
There was a pirate ship docked here, flying the flag of the Black Snake Pirates.
Boarding the Black Snake pirate ship, Lucifer found some treasure in the cabin—this was the private collection of the Black Snake.
The amount of money was not much, less than 20 million Berries.
In fact, this was normal; the money obtained by pirates through burning, killing, and looting is often squandered quickly.
The Black Snake Pirates had come to this town to plunder, likely due to a lack of funds.
Lucifer didn't care much about the amount of money.
After acquiring the Word Spirit Fruit, he was no longer in need of money.
"Gold Generation!"
After Lucifer spoke, a piece of gold appeared out of thin air and landed in his palm.
Just like the gold extracted from a mine, the gold created by Lucifer using his fruit ability was real, indistinguishable from the genuine article.
This piece of gold would remain until Lucifer chose to remove his powers.
If he wished, he could now create unlimited gold or diamonds.
As long as he desired it, it wouldn't be long before Lucifer became the richest man in the world.
Even the Golden Emperor, Tezoro, who had awakened the Gold-Gold Fruit, would soon be surpassed by Lucifer in terms of wealth alone.
"Money is just a symbol."
Lucifer smiled lightly and steered the pirate ship away from the coast.
From this moment on, Lucifer officially set sail.
After gaining power, his intention to go to sea outweighed the residents' attitude toward him.
The main reason was that Lucifer sought more kill points.
He wanted to become stronger, and the only way to do that was to go to sea.
Only by going to sea could he find powerful opponents.
"System, open the properties panel."
Lucifer whispered softly, and a virtual screen appeared in front of him.
Only he could see this screen.
Host: Lucifer
Age: 23
Devil Fruit: Word Spirit Fruit
Physique: Hell Demon
Kill Points: 3500
Lucifer's attribute panel was straightforward, easily understood at a glance.
In the Black Snake Pirates, only the Black Snake had any strength; the other members were all insignificant soldiers.
Thus, Lucifer only accumulated 3500 kill points for defeating all the pirates.
"The bounty is 35 million Berries, and only 3500 kill points? The Black Snake is too cheap."
Lucifer shook his head and tossed a bounty poster into the sea, featuring a photo of Black Snake with a reward of 35 million Berries.
In the Grand Line, a bounty of 35 million Berries is very low; there are countless pirates like Black Snake.
The bounty also indicated that this guy had no talent and was exceedingly weak.
After all, he was a Zoan fruit user, yet his bounty was only 35 million, which was pitiful.
Aside from him, there was no second bounty criminal in the entire pirate crew.
Not only was he weak, but his subordinates were even weaker.
Such a person wants to become the Pirate King? It can only be said that the Lion Majesty dreams of swallowing an elephant—his ambitions are far too grand, and he will exhaust himself sooner or later.
"Open the system store."
Lucifer commanded, and the screen transformed into a system store.
The store was filled with enticing items, showcasing countless abilities and weapons.
For instance, there were various weapons, famous swords, guns, ships, and even Devil Fruits.
There were also classes of abilities like Conqueror's Haki, martial arts, and swordsmanship.
Lucifer focused on Conqueror's Haki.
With the power of the Word Spirit Fruit, his ability was remarkable, and combined with the physique of a hell demon, his body was exceptionally strong.
The only thing he lacked was Haki.
Observation Haki:
Awakening: (1,000 kill points)
Primary: (5,000 kill points)
Intermediate: (10,000 kill points)
Advanced: (50,000 kill points)
Peak: (200,000 kill points)
Armament Haki:
Awakening: (1,000 kill points)
Primary: (5,000 kill points)
Intermediate: (10,000 kill points)
Advanced: (50,000 kill points)
Peak: (200,000 kill points)
Conqueror's Haki:
Awakening: (1,000 kill points)
Primary: (5,000 kill points)
Intermediate: (10,000 kill points)
Advanced: (50,000 kill points)
Peak: (200,000 kill points)
Awakening Conqueror's Haki only required 1000 kill points, a very reasonable price.
However, as the levels increased, the cost became significantly higher.
To upgrade all of them to peak level would cost over 600,000 kill points.
A bounty of 35 million Berries for Black Snake only grants 3500 kill points.
The ratio of bounty to kill points is roughly 10,000:1.
In other words, if you killed a target with a bounty of 100 million, you would earn 10,000 kill points.
To obtain 600,000 kill points, one must kill a criminal with a bounty of 6 billion.
In the current sea, Whitebeard has the highest bounty, but it is still far from 6 billion.
Lucifer had a long way to go to acquire such a massive number of kill points.
