Assassination

As Richard's right hand dances, the dark substance in his hand also constantly changes its shape, sometimes turning into an S shape, sometimes into a B shape... But no matter how it changes, the total area of the darkness does not change.

"By the way, doesn't the system say that you can use witness points to strengthen abilities? This strengthening should refer to the experience-like data behind the fruit level, right?" Richard suddenly remembered the previous introduction to the system.

He did it as soon as he thought of it, and as expected, the experience value in the small box behind the 'Dark Fruit' became (1/10), and the witness points he had also changed from the previous 100 to 99, which was reduced by one.

"As expected!"

After confirming his guess, Richard stopped hesitating and quickly filled up the experience points of the 'Dark Fruit'.

When the 10 experience points were filled, his information changed again.

"Host: Richard Fisk"

"Abilities: Martial Arts Lv.4 (10/16), Proficient in Firearms Lv.4 (8/16), Military Fighting Technique Lv.5 (20/32), Dark Fruit Lv.2 (0/20)"

"Witness Points: 90 Points"

"You can really upgrade!" Richard was delighted.

As the level of the 'Dark Fruit' increased, he naturally felt that the previous constraint had disappeared.

Swish——

The darkness on his hand expanded again, and in an instant, it became almost twice as large as before!

"Go on!" Richard's eyes sparkled.

Soon, with his operation, the 'Dark Fruit' was upgraded again, from Lv.2 to Lv.3. The area of the darkness he could create also doubled again, and at this time he still had 70 witness points.

To upgrade the 'Dark Fruit' from Lv.3 to Lv.4, you need 50 points, so he can continue to upgrade.

"Come again!"

Without any hesitation, Richard chose to upgrade again.

When the 'Dark Fruit' was upgraded to Lv.4, his remaining 20 witness points were finally not enough to continue upgrading the 'Dark Fruit', because 100 points were already needed to upgrade from Lv.4 to Lv.5.

At the moment, his data also became:

"Host: Richard Fisk"

"Abilities: Martial Arts Lv.4 (10/16), Proficient in Firearms Lv.4 (8/16), Military Fighting Technique Lv.5 (20/32), Dark Fruit Lv.4 (0/100)"

"Witness Points: 20"

Martial Arts, Proficient in Firearms, and Military Fighting Technique were all Richard's special skills in his previous life.

It is precisely because of these skills that he was able to become the most dangerous man in North America in his previous life. Countless people were killed and maimed by him!

In his previous life on Earth, his martial arts were basically at the top level in the world.

Although his strength may not keep up with those boxers who do strength training every day, if there are no rules, those so-called boxing champions will have no hope of persisting for even half a minute in front of him!

"Didn't you expect that my attainments in this area are only Lv. 4 to Lv. 5... This shows that even if extraordinary power is put aside, the level of martial arts in this world is far higher than on Earth in the previous life..." Richard thought thoughtfully.

However, judging from the level evaluation of Martial Arts, Proficient in Firearms techniques, and Military Fighting techniques he has mastered, Lv.4 to Lv.5 should be at least above average, if not the top of a certain category, leveled up.

The 'Dark Fruit' is a gold-level fruit and has been upgraded to Level 4. It is likely that it will be weaker than One Piece Marshall D Teach, maybe even worse.

"That damn alien constitution," Richard was quite distressed over that fact.

But if he is worse in quantity, he will be better in quality. He will master a lot of techniques that will put him on the map of this world. Maybe even be a heavy hitter.

"Now that I think about it..."

"That particular anime, although super disgusting power levels, gave me a lot of inspirations for moves like that."

"Add that to the fact that I am more imaginative than Blackbeard..."

*Chuckle*

"I really can't wait."

"Now not only do I have THE position but also Status and Resources..."

"I can't test my current limits in the carriage. I'd better wait until I get off the train and find a chance to try," Richard decided to stop.

It is worth mentioning that Richard also noticed a problem.

The same level 4 abilities, Martial Arts, and Proficient in Firearms only require 16 witness points to upgrade to level 5, but the 'Dark Fruit' requires a full 100 witness points.

This difference is really big.

Faced with Richard's question, the system also gave a simple and clear answer.

"These skills mastered by the host are only equivalent to black iron level abilities at best, but the 'Dark Fruit' is a gold-level ability. The higher the level of ability, the more witness points required for an upgrade will naturally be," the system explained.

Richard was stunned.

Just as he was about to continue asking questions, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the box, which made him frown.

Click——

The box door was suddenly opened, and Ned rushed in hurriedly, grabbed Richard by the shoulders, and walked out with a nervous and serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong, what happened?" Richard asked quickly.

He noticed that Ned was holding his shoulder with one hand, and the other hand was actually holding a pistol with a silencer.

"It's too late to explain the specific situation," Ned's face was very ugly.

"Anyway, there should be a traitor in the gang. Someone has already learned the information about Master Richard that you will take this train, and brought people on board."

"Someone laid an ambush in advance and prepared to do harm to you, master!"

"A traitor again...?" Richard's eyes turned cold.

In his previous life, he had to choose to die with his enemies because he was betrayed by his own people.

Anyone who has had the experience of being betrayed by a traitor will probably hate the word "traitor" to the point of gnawing teeth, let alone someone like Richard who was directly cheated to death.

Ned, however, didn't know Richard's psychological activities and just continued to speak hastily: "Those people have already launched an attack. Luke and the others are trying their best to delay the opponent, but I guess they can't delay it for long. After all, the opponent has come well prepared."

The Luke and others mentioned by Ned were all men sent by Kingpin to protect his son.

Under normal circumstances, with their protection, Richard's safety is basically no problem.

But this time things are obviously different.

No matter who came, they definitely came prepared, and it was impossible not to include the people who protected Richard.

Ned understands this truth, so he is so eager.

"Could it be that the 'original me' was killed in this assassination? If this is the case, no matter what Ned´s plan is, it should be in vain in the end, and the 'original me' will be assassinated Death is the best proof..." Richard's thoughts

 were racing rapidly.

His arrival has not produced any big butterfly effect so far.

The other party's assassination had obviously been planned for a long time. They could even grasp his whereabouts in advance and conduct an ambush. It was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment move.

Therefore, Ned´s choices are actually very limited, and most of them are in the other party's calculations.

"Are we now?"

"Go to the front of the car and find a way to disconnect the front of the car from the car behind and get rid of them!" Ned said decisively!

Author Note :

I want to say a couple of things :

1- Thanks for reading the Book and i hope you enjoy it so far

2 - If we arrive to 10 powerstones i will post another chapter in a few hours

3 - If you have any suggestions put it in the comment section.

4 - Idk if i want to give the Protagonist the Skill "Elementarization" of the Logias.

Idk it will be cool if he fight like this.

But the X2 damage has to go...

Anyway don´t expect the protagonist to be at Black Beard level ( i mean the guy put a scar in a yonko without having his fruit...)

5 -For his subordinates i have in mind a few :

- Ned ( Guess which fruit he will get : I am in between 3 options, the 3 of them are good for Marvel on their own)

Hint: It is realted to his talent

- ??? ( I won´t post who this guy is but i am between : Mera mera - Magu Magu , and the fruit of Oven)

Hint : ??? ??? ??? ??? to Fire ( It´s obvious)

For love interest... Idk i mean i have 2 options :

- All i can say is there both Yandere or Crazy in their own right but powerfull.

- If you give me good motives i can re consider another woman for the protagonist.

6 - He won´t be Double fruit , maybe he will get a second heart but idk.

A lot of you will ask me : Why?

Simple : I do not like overpowered guys + There is a lot of powers in Marvel you just have to know where to look for.

7 - If we arrive to 10 Powerstones i will post another chapter today.

8 - Do expect more develop of the Dark fruit , i have a lot of ideas for this fruit and it won´t be like : Dark Cave road , Black Hole , Dark Vortex , etc.

I am very angry as to why authors do not develop this overpowered fruit, so i took the chance and i will develop some sweet moves and you will be like "Ahhhh , so it could be used this way"

Another thing is that i will also be invented moves, i mean i had to do a scientific search for that a couple of months ago...

9 - By the way ... what is your favorite fruit? Mine you can guess it instantly jajajjaja

10 - How is the ff so far? ( I know it is still short but do you like the chapters and thematic?)

Bye
