Luffy's fingers danced over the interface, a sense of pride welling up within him. He had come a long way since that fateful encounter in the Luminescent Glade. The world around him had expanded, and his own potential had grown alongside it.
Zara, her expression a mix of curiosity and determination, peered over Luffy's shoulder at the interface. "You've really embraced this system, haven't you?"
Luffy nodded, a grin spreading across his face. "It's like a second nature to me now. It's helped us a lot, and I think there's even more to discover."
Ari's holographic form appeared beside them, a digital smile playing on his lips. "Indeed, Luffy. The system holds many secrets waiting to be unlocked. Your progress is commendable, but there is more to learn."
Zara leaned in, her gaze fixed on the interface. "Tell us, Ari. What else can Luffy do?"
Ari's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "As you advance, Luffy, you will gain access to more spells, skills, and abilities. Your path is not limited to conventional magic alone. The system offers unique avenues for growth."
Luffy's heart raced with excitement. "I'm ready for whatever comes next. Show me the way, Ari."
The AI's form transformed into a holographic projection of a vast library—the Library of Legendaria. Books and scrolls floated in midair, each containing knowledge waiting to be acquired. "Welcome to the Library of Legendaria—a repository of ancient lore, forgotten techniques, and legendary spells."
Zara's eyes widened in awe. "This place is incredible."
Ari gestured toward the books. "Luffy, you can use your earned skill points to unlock new abilities and spells. Your journey will lead you to discover unique talents, from manipulating elements to mastering arcane arts."
Luffy scanned the titles, his heart racing. "Where do I start?"
Ari pointed to a shimmering scroll adorned with intricate symbols. "Begin with the 'Tales of Legendary Joints.' This scroll holds secrets of a rare and powerful magic—Weedcraft. It allows you to channel the essence of enchanted herbs into extraordinary feats of magic."
Luffy reached out and touched the scroll, a surge of energy coursing through him as the knowledge flowed into his mind. The interface updated, revealing new options.

Weedcraft (Novice): Unlocks the ability to infuse enchantment into herbs for magical effects.
Herbal Infusion (Novice): Enhances the potency of enchanted herbs for greater spell power.

Luffy's eyes shone with determination. "I'm unlocking Weedcraft and Herbal Infusion."
As he made his selection, the scroll dissolved into radiant energy that flowed into Luffy's being. The newfound knowledge settled within him, intertwining with his magical essence.
