Chapter 1: Gaining the Gravity Fruit!

The Grand Line is known as the most mysterious sea in the world of One Piece! The first half is often referred to as Paradise, while the second half is the New World! In the New World, filled with ruthless pirates, the geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and monsoons are all incredibly chaotic.

To put it bluntly, opening a map and trying to find your location is incredibly difficult—let alone landing on other islands! Without extensive sailing experience, it's like wandering in a maze! You might find your way out in the next moment, or you could be lost forever!

Meanwhile, in the New World, on an island in the second half of the Grand Line, Ryuu Sato sits leisurely by the sea, holding a fishing rod with the other end dangling in the water. This area is rich in fish, attracting many fishing enthusiasts! However, it's rare to see someone like Ryuu, who is so relaxed and not even looking at the bobber!

Passersby chuckle at the sight. To them, Ryuu appears to be a beginner in fishing, with skills that clearly need improvement!

Yet, Ryuu doesn't care about the gazes of those walking by. While others are fishing for their dinner, he's fishing for something entirely different!

…..

Ryuu isn't originally from the One Piece world. Three months ago, he accidentally crossed over to this universe and ended up in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World. He has watched One Piece countless times and knows the survival challenges faced by the characters within!

Thinking of the powerful figures who can move mountains and fill seas, unleash thunder and lightning, and cause landslides, it's clear that ordinary people here are like ants!

Ryuu feels completely out of place. How did he end up in the world of One Piece? Is this fate meant to make him cannon fodder?

Fortunately, when he learned that he was in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, he breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the harsh regions ruled by Kaido, where food is scarce, and Big Mom's territory, where survival comes at the cost of one's lifespan, the area controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates is relatively better!

So, it could be said that this was a blessing in disguise!

As for why Ryuu is fishing, it all goes back to the moment he crossed over. Arriving in the One Piece world, he was gifted a system—the Fishing System. As the name suggests, by fishing, Ryuu can obtain various treasures, Devil Fruits, and diverse abilities from different sources!

To fish, however, he needs bait! The system is user-friendly, automatically giving him 100 pieces of bait as a greeting gift upon activation.

Thus, after ninety-nine days of diligent effort over more than three months, he was just one day away from using up his 100 pieces of bait!

Before him lies the ocean, but beneath the surface, an invisible energy surrounds the water, creating a vortex that emanates a strange power. Ryuu's bait is submerged in this energy-infused water.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have caught three months of ability training!"

Catching three months of training is something Ryuu often reels in. In addition, he also receives other items, such as "three months of training experience in Observation Haki" and "three months of training experience in Armament Haki," among others!

A bubble forms above the bait, invisible to everyone else. This bubble then flies into the system's storage space, becoming one of Ryuu's items.

After one hundred days, the fishing comes to an end. The system's voice rings in his ears: "Dear host, your 100 bait pieces have been used up. All the items caught have been stored in the storage space. Please check them!"

Ryuu rubs his hands together, not feeling bored by the hundred days of monotonous fishing. On the contrary, this Fishing System is incredibly interesting! Each catch brings something even more extraordinary, and over time, Ryuu finds himself increasingly eager to fish!

He opens his storage warehouse, filled to the brim with treasures he has painstakingly fished over the past hundred days! Looking at all the amazing items, Ryuu can hardly contain his excitement: "System, open all the bubbles!"

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

A series of popping sounds fill Ryuu's ears as he opens the bubbles.

"Congratulations, host! You have gained 120 months of ability training!"

"Congratulations, host! You have gained 90 months of Armament Haki training!"

"Congratulations, host! You have gained the Gravity Fruit!"

"Congratulations, host! You have gained 7 Fruit Upgrade Cards!"

…..

When all the bubbles are opened, suddenly, a surge of powerful energy floods into Ryuu's body. His strength expands, his speed surges, and his muscles swell.

But this muscle expansion isn't like that of a bodybuilder; instead, it gives him a beautifully proportioned physique!

This ability training focuses on physical conditioning. A total of 120 months equals a decade of training! Ryuu's strength, speed, senses, and various other abilities instantly elevate him to the level of top-tier strong fighters in the New World!

Additionally, he gains 90 months of experience in both Observation Haki and Armament Haki, significantly enhancing his skills!

And, of course, there's the Gravity Fruit. To be honest, Ryuu had no idea that a Devil Fruit could also be caught through fishing! Without hesitation, he consumes the Gravity Fruit that dropped from the bubbles!
