Chapter 2
The system's cold, mechanical chime sounded.
Weiss's face lit up with glee.
He eyed the golden fruit floating before him—visible only to him.
His grin stretched wide.
But the label "Mythical Species" sparked a flicker of confusion.
He didn't query the system this time, instead pulling up the Devil Fruit's panel.
[Zoan-Type Dragon-Dragon Fruit · Mythical Species · Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Form]
Quality: Diamond (?)
Effect: Grants mastery of metal (Gengjin), thunder, and flame; summons wind and rain; transforms into a hundred-foot dragon, size adjustable at will. Commands lesser sea creatures to obey your whims.
Description: The five-clawed golden dragon—an imperial totem of legend symbolizing supreme power!
What a monster!
Weiss gaped at the fruit's abilities.
Outclassing Kaido's Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon Form by miles!
Next, he tapped the Lord of Time and Space details.
[Lord of Time and Space]
Quality: God-Tier
Effect: Initial mastery of interdimensional travel, plus time-stop, time manipulation, and spatial abilities.
Description: A mythic power held by legendary cosmic beings.
Well, damn.
Pair this with the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, and Weiss couldn't fathom the havoc.
Momonosuke went from punching bag to powerhouse overnight—imagine this combo! A navy admiral wouldn't stand a chance. Overkill much?
Weiss chuckled, shaking his head.
"Here goes!"
He bit into the golden fruit, wreathed in red-gold clouds.
Unimaginable power surged within!
"Dragon Claw!"
Weiss's eyes flared. His right hand morphed into a golden-scaled dragon claw!
He'd once punched back ten-meter sea beasts. Now? He'd obliterate them with a flick!
Powerful!
An invincible boost—straight out of Shenxia legend!
Day one in this world, and he'd nailed it!
"Otherworld Gate!"
Calming his buzz, Weiss faced the room's empty space.
With a wave, psychic energy flared. A silver-glowing double door materialized.
Scenes from another world flickered across it—rapidly cycling characters and vistas.
Fairy Queen Erza, Fire Dragon Natsu, Black Dragon of Destruction, Dragon Queen Irene…
"Opens to other worlds?"
Testing a hunch, Weiss focused.
The scene shifted—Konoha Village, Uzumaki Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi.
A second later, it froze.
"No dice?"
He tried again—Bleach's world. Same deal: one-second flash, then stuck.
Prison School next—then Gundam Build Fighters. That one ran smooth!
Weiss pieced it together.
His panel's [Anomaly Points]—that's the key. They let him pick plot points and enter worlds freely!
Higher combat worlds drained more points.
Fairy Tail? Auto-unlocked post-awakening—no cost.
Weiss grinned—perfect.
With system and talent sorted, he'd chill here first.
Time still frozen, he approached Nami and Nojiko.
[Nojiko]
[Silver Treasure Chest: Requirement - Touch Her Head]
[Nami]
[Golden Treasure Chest: Requirement - Fulfill the Girl's Wish]
A head pat for a silver chest?
Nami's golden chest needed her wish granted—easy guess: crush the Arlong Pirates, kill Arlong, free Cocoyasi Village. What else?
Child's play.
After a beat, Weiss reached out, tousling Nojiko's blue-purple hair.
Heat hung in the air—he caught a whiff of her sweet sweat.
Ding! Silver Treasure Chest obtained. Open now?
"Open it," Weiss said.
Ding! You've opened the Silver Treasure Chest and obtained the magical talent [Magic Core]!
Ding! You've gained 50 Singularity Points from the silver chest.
[Magic Core]
Quality: Silver (+)
Effect: Forms a core in your body that auto-absorbs and refines magic power.
Description: Passive upgrade accessory—grows stronger on its own.
Magic talent?
Ask and ye shall receive.
Weiss nodded, pleased. With Fairy Tail's gate open, he'd fretted over lacking magic. Now, a self-cultivating core? Sorted.
Chest claimed, time to roll.
With a thought, he ended the time-stop.
Nami and Nojiko resumed, unchanged.
"You're unreal—breaking through sea beasts to reach shore!"
Nojiko gawked at Weiss post-tale, impressed.
She hadn't pegged Nami's beach find as this tough.
Nami, inwardly shocked, stayed cool.
Sea beasts weren't chumps—this guy, her age, bare-handed them and swam hours to shore?
Insane!
With that strength, he might tangle with Arlong's lieutenants.
"So, you're alone in this world now?" Nami asked.
"Yeah. If it's cool, I'd like to crash here a bit."
"Need help? Just say it."
Weiss smiled warmly at them.
"Stay here for now?"
Nami and Nojiko gasped in unison.
