Chapter 3: The System: I'm Here!

In addition to the precious Devil Fruit, the Navy, or rather Admiral Kizaru, also allocated 50 million Berries in startup funds to Celt, a latest model Seastone short gun from the Navy's scientific research unit, and a fine sword named Frost.

It must be said.

Although Kyle's current strength is only at the level of a million-Berry pirate, with these sophisticated equipment and the power of the Devil Fruit, he is more than capable of dominating the East Blue.

This kind of treatment upon departure is something only Kyle, as a beloved nephew, could enjoy!

Kyle did not waste these three days.

Through the Navy's powerful intelligence agency, he gained a detailed understanding of the regional map of the East Blue.

Not only did he find the hometown of the Navy hero Garp, the Kingdom of Goa, but he also located the islands and specific locations of Shimotsuki Village, Coco Village, and Syrup Village.

Unfortunately, by this time, Zoro had already left Shimotsuki Village and was lost somewhere in the East Blue.

If he could get this freak onto his ship, Kyle's spy journey would surely be much easier.

In the storyline, he appears in Shells Town a year later.

But now, with Kyle as the butterfly, no one can predict what the future holds.

Even Kyle himself is uncertain.

Because up to now, he still doesn't know what his system really is!

"The local's newbie package is so generous, I hope my accompanying system can be powerful too!"

Looking at the unchanged system interface before him, Kyle muttered softly.

The merchant ship from Marineford had horsepower far exceeding that of ordinary civilian merchant ships.

The massive hull was like a sharp sword, cutting through the waves of the sea, heading towards the direction of the Red Line.

Kyle, who had already purchased his destination ticket, would disembark at a port with an elevator under the Red Line, then take the elevator up to the Red Line, cross it by vehicle, and directly reach a port on the East Blue side for a transfer.

As it was a civilian facility, the entire process would take at least three full days.

Fortunately, this wasn't dull for Kyle.

Being able to see the walls of the Red Line and the elevators that only appeared in the anime's settings with his own eyes was enough to broaden his horizons.

"Indeed, the impact of the real world is far beyond what pictures can provide!"

Kyle's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

After leaving the Navy headquarters, his true nature began to gradually reveal itself.

All melancholy and gloom completely disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that his fellow passengers were all nervous, worried about encountering a passing Celestial Dragon, he even thought about asking the driver to stop and find a place to write "so-and-so was here" or something.

But even the most magnificent scenery can become tiresome after a while.

The days of drifting at sea lasted for over twenty days.

After a journey of nearly a month, Kyle finally arrived at his destination—East Blue's Yacsei Island!

On this island, there was a large shipyard.

It is said that over seventy percent of East Blue's Admiral Krieg's fifty large warships came from here!

Before setting off, Kyle had already used the Navy's undercover connections in the East Blue to order a ship here.

Since it was paid through the Navy's account, Kyle didn't know exactly how much the ship cost.

Now, more than twenty days after placing the order, the ship should be just about completed.

...

...

At the port of Yacsei Island.

With his reputation, Kyle quickly met his ship under the guidance of the staff!

It was a medium-sized sailing ship slightly larger than the Merry Go from the anime.

On the deck of the ship, there were also two decorative cannons installed.

After all, in the world of pirates, those who understand, understand.

Anyone who has been at sea for a while has some way to deal with cannonballs~

However...

After experiencing the feeling of firing a cannon under the staff's demonstration, Kyle still exclaimed:

"Wow! Awesome!"

After admiring his ship, Kyle immediately couldn't wait to have the staff sail it out of the dock.

Although a bit flustered, with his superhuman physical strength and the ship's manual, he successfully got the ship out to sea.

After a brief exploration, Kyle directly locked onto the highest room on the deck and designated it as his captain's quarters, then he sat down on the floor and began to excitedly rub his hands together.

"Next, it's the exciting moment!"

"System Dad, after fishing for so many days, it's time to reel in the net, right?"

He first pulled out the pirate flag he had prepared from his backpack.

On the black sail, a pair of lifeless, desolate eyes of a skull fluttered in the wind.

This was the pirate flag Kyle had drawn based on his predecessor's image, and it had already been filed with Sengoku.

Along with it was the name of the pirate crew!

Yes.

Before leaving Marineford, Kyle had already thought of the name for his pirate crew...

The Twilight Pirates!!!

A name that sounds quite ordinary, but has a bit of flavor when you think about it.

Actually, what the pirate crew is called isn't that important to Kyle, who had been naming things in the system for seven days.

It was just that after learning he was about to become a spy, he suddenly thought of an anime he had watched before crossing over, called "Spy x Family."

So he borrowed the codename "Twilight" of the strongest spy from this anime to name his pirate crew.

He hoped this name could bring him some luck.

Now, the pirate crew's name, flag, and ship were all gathered!

Everything was ready, all that was needed was the east wind!!!

After hanging the pirate flag on the mast, before Kyle could even operate it, a prompt window suddenly popped up in his mind.

[Detected that the host has created their own pirate crew, would you like to bind "Twilight Pirates"?]

[Confirm] or [Reject]

"Huh? So smart?!"

Kyle, who was pulling the ropes, suddenly froze, then immediately showed a surprised smile.

He quickly pressed the [Confirm] button in his mind with his thoughts.

In an instant!

The naming interface that had been bothering him for so long finally turned into gray mist and dissipated to both sides.

A brand new game interface suddenly appeared in Kyle's mind.

"It's here! It's here!"

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar screen appear in his mind, Kyle's heart instantly started pounding.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully observed the system interface to see if there were any changes after crossing over.

It must be said.

Compared to that third-rate mobile game, the system in his mind was undoubtedly much simpler.

At least those pop-ups that constantly tried to trick you into spending money were gone.

But in fact, this wasn't good news for Kyle.

After all, getting an S-class character who could both fight and heal for just six yuan was a deal you couldn't find even with a lantern!

"It seems that after crossing over, the game's functions have also changed quite a bit."

Kyle pondered and sighed.

He had a strange premonition...

The changes in the system might not be as simple as just removing the pay-to-win pop-ups.

At this time, there were five basic options lit up in the interface: [Captain], [Backpack], [Companions], [Dock], and [Gacha].

Kyle followed the order and first clicked on the [Captain] option.

A new pop-up immediately appeared.

On the left side of the screen was a three-dimensional image of Kyle, exactly the same as his current appearance.

Kyle waved his hand, and the "Kyle" in the image immediately made the same movement.

Moreover, this three-dimensional image could be rotated 360° without any blind spots through mental control.

"Hmm... not bad! I won't need to buy a mirror anymore!"

"I like this feature!"

After curiously looking at his three-dimensional image, Kyle turned his gaze to the right side of the screen.

Here, there was a row of information bars about "Captain" Kyle.

[Captain: Kyle]

[Level: 0]

[Experience: 0/10]

[Total Combat Power: 0]

[Skills: None]

"...It really is a beginner's panel that's clear at a glance, but..."

Looking at his attribute panel, Kyle frowned in confusion.

"Even if I only have the strength of a small fry now, I'm still a small fry from the Grand Line, my combat power shouldn't be 0."

"And this skill bar, I don't remember the captain having skills in the game."

As if sensing Kyle's inner doubts, the information bar on the panel suddenly flashed, and several bullet windows popped up in sequence, explaining Kyle's doubts.

[Experience: For every 1 million Berries spent in the system, the captain gains 1 experience point.]

[Total Combat Power: Captain's combat power = total crew combat power × captain level × 10%]

[Skills: Each time the captain levels up, a skill from a character in the total card pool will be randomly drawn.]
