245 Shackled From The World

"By the way, my IQ is 192," Reiju suddenly said, pointing at her own face before leaving the house.

Lynch was puzzled for a moment. "What does she mean? Is she trying to poison me?"

It took him a while to understand. Reiju was likely implying that she had figured everything out herself and realized that following Lynch was the best choice for now. "It's different talking to someone with a high IQ..."

...

After the Vinsmoke family married Lynch, as expected, they were kicked out of their former position and were now wanted by the World Government.

Luckily, Lynch had warned Judge before the wedding that the Germa Kingdom would be moved to the West Blue.

"You should hide in the West Blue for now, and wait for things to calm down before making any moves," Lynch advised.

"It's just a small part of North Blue. Eventually, I'll make sure you can return to it," he added, patting his father-in-law on the shoulder and drawing an optimistic picture.

"Okay, please!" 

Judge exclaimed, nearly adding, "From now on, you can call me father-in-law, and I'll call you eldest brother."

After bidding farewell to his father-in-law, Lynch heard a notification from the system in his mind:

[Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing the task. Reward: Randomly upgrade any ability to level five.]

[Rewards are being distributed!]

[Ding! Congratulations to Host for reaching the peak of level 5 with Marksmanship Skills!]

Suddenly, a flood of knowledge about firearms filled Lynch's mind, including details on shooting angles, wind speed calculations, bullet trajectory, and more—like he had studied firearms for decades.

"Marksmanship? Not bad."

Abilities that reach level five undergo a qualitative transformation.

Lynch entered the warehouse and picked up an AK47. 

The moment his hands gripped the firearm, it felt like an extension of his own body—just as flexible as his arm. 

At the same time, a 3D analysis of the AK47 automatically appeared in his mind.

"Is peak level 5 marksmanship really this powerful?" Lynch thought.

Standing high in the palace, he activated his sight and sound abilities, which expanded to cover the entire island and stretched out over the sea. 

He spotted a 1,200-meter-long Sea King swimming in the water.

Closing his eyes, he cocked the gun and pulled the trigger.

"Boom!"

A spinning bullet, infused with Conqueror's Haki, flew across tens of thousands of meters and struck the Sea King's head, killing it with a single shot. 

The giant creature's head exploded, and its blood turned the surrounding sea red, attracting countless fish to feast on the remains.

"So powerful!" Lynch was stunned.

The only downside was that ordinary firearms couldn't withstand the force of bullets infused with Conqueror's Haki. The AK47 in his hand had been completely destroyed after that shot.

With a thought, a translucent screen appeared before his eyes:

Then the system sound sounded again.

[Ding! Five of the Host's attributes have reached Peak Level 5. Advanced task initiated.]

[Task Requirements: To break through the world limits and overcome the five peak blockade, the body length must exceed 500 meters in the Sun Candle form.]

"!?"

Lynch had long recognized a critical issue. In this world, once someone becomes strong enough, no matter how much more they train, they can no longer get stronger and eventually begin to decline after a long period at their peak.

When Big Mom was young, she and Whitebeard were already at Admiral-level strength while on the Rocks ship. 

At that time, Big Mom was only 30 years old in real life, though she looked like a 29-year-old girl, and Whitebeard was 36.

In a world where people in their eighties and nineties can still fight, these two were considered "young." This was the period when their strength grew exponentially.

Given their rapid and steady progress, by now, they should be strong enough to defeat at least three or four Admirals or even kill them instantly.

The strength gap between them was so vast that it should have been an instant kill. However, this was not the case.

Their strength had only been enhanced to a certain extent. After reaching a peak, they stopped growing. Their progress stagnated, and for over 20 years, they were unable to improve, until old Whitebeard began to decline due to injuries.

When Garp became famous in the Valley of the Gods, he had the ability to fight against the Rocks Pirates. 

At that time, Garp was only 40 years old, at his prime. He was in his early 40s when he hunted down Roger. 

But after all these years, Garp's strength had not changed much since his pursuit of Roger. 

Now, old age and the decline in physical strength were affecting his combat effectiveness.

Nine years ago, Kaido had powerful strength, but now, he can only watch as Lynch surpasses him.

If there were no limitations, Lord Im, who had lived for 800 years, would have already become invincible.

There are countless examples like this—Five Elders, Sengoku, the Three Admirals, Dragon, Rayleigh, Bullet, and many others. In a world ruled by blood, destiny, and talent, without talent, no matter how hard you try, reaching the peak of level five will never be possible.

For those with talent, they too hit a limit after reaching peak level five. It's not that they lack ability, but that the world itself has placed restrictions on them.

To break through, you must shatter the world's shackles.

Lynch discovered this after his first ability reached peak level five. Now, after years of reflection, the system has confirmed it.

"If the world wants to stop me, I will break it!"
