Ron had spent a year in the Pirate World, and as an ordinary person from the 21st century on Earth, surviving in this harsh environment was nothing short of a challenge.
"This is unbearable!" Ron cast a venomous glare at the navy soldiers chasing him and quickly disappeared into the dense island forest.
"Why don't I have a 'Golden Finger' like the other transmigrators?" Ron sighed. It had been a year since he arrived here, and he had relied solely on his knowledge of the plot to survive. Yet, he remained just an ordinary member of a pirate crew.
Despite his inner resistance to robbing innocent people, his lack of strength forced him to adapt and go along with the flow to survive. Unfortunately, they had been ambushed by the navy while they where about to raid an island, and the pirate crew, existing for less than three years, was about to be disbanded.
As Ron and the others fled into the forest, they knew they were essentially awaiting their demise. The navy wouldn't easily let them escape; they would undoubtedly scour the jungle to eliminate the pirate crew.
As Ron desperately ran for his life, a flickering point of light in the depths of his mind suddenly caught his attention. This point of light seems to have finally acclimated to the world's rules and integrated into the Pirate World.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host Ron. You have a hundred billion skill points ready for collection. Would you like to claim them now?"
"Huh? What?!" Ron's face registered astonishment. It was as if he had heard something extraordinary.
"What's happening?" Ron furrowed his brow.
"Hello, Host. I am your exclusive system!" The golden dot of light in his mind radiated brilliantly. After breaking through the world's rule barriers, its power gleamed brightly, though no one else could perceive it.
"System!!!?" Ron's eyes widened suddenly, his heart bursting with excitement. Finally, after a year, his "Golden Finger" as a transmigrator had awakened.
"Why is the system only activating now? It's been a year; if it weren't for my resourcefulness, I'd be dead and buried by now!" Ron couldn't help but complain.
"Apologies, Host. It took a year for this system to successfully integrate into this world due to its immense power. Once activated, you will become one of the strongest beings in this world!" the system replied.
"!!!" Ron was stunned by this revelation. By simply activating the system, he could become one of the strongest beings in the Pirate World? This was beyond his wildest expectations!
"Tell me, what can this system do? I'm in a crisis right now!" Ron quickly asked, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the distant shouts and musket fire, as the Navy relentlessly pursued the members of the Evil Wolf Pirates.
"First, Host, collect the 100 billion skill points, it is one of the system's most crucial features!" the system urged.
"Alright, collect them now!" Ron didn't fully grasp the concept of "100 billion skill points," but if the system deemed them important, he was eager to obtain them.
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you now possess 100 billion skill points. These can be used to upgrade any ability that you've learned, enhancing them up to the maximum level. The only limitation is your learning capacity; once you've learned a skill, it can be upgraded to its peak!" the system explained.
As Ron heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief. This "Golden Finger" was simply too incredible, too powerful!
"How do I use them? Tell me how to apply these skill points!" Ron's gaze flickered toward the nearby bushes as he urgently inquired.
"Host, please view the data panel and allocate points as desired," the system replied. A translucent panel appeared before Ron, displaying his data.
Host: Ron
Age: Nineteen years old
Physique: 12
Strength: 11
Agility: 13
Spirit: 9
Skill Point Balance: 100 Billion
Skills:
Evil Wolf Punch: Level 2
Basic Sword Technique: Level 3
Marksmanship: Level 2
Cooking: Level 1
Medical Skills: Level 1
Ron calmly examined his data panel, which displayed his hard-earned skills from the past year. He had relied on Basic Sword Technique, Evil Wolf Punch, and diligent practice of Marksmanship to get to this point. His medical and cooking skills were still at entry levels.
His eyes widened when he noticed the skill point balance of 100 billion. It was an astounding amount. One million points would take a hundred million years to deplete. It was as good as having infinite skill points at his disposal.
"Unlimited skill points? No restrictions? As long as I can learn the skills, I can boost them?" Ron couldn't contain his excitement. Finally, after a year of hardship, and constantly being hunted down by the Navy, he had the chance to rise to become a dominant force in this world.
"Let's boost my skills to the max!" Ron exclaimed. He reached out and began adding points to his skills through the translucent data panel.
Evil Wolf Punch: 2+1+1+1+1+1+1...
With each click on the plus sign, his understanding of the Evil Wolf Fist Technique grew exponentially. Countless techniques and its applications flooded into his mind.
After a frenzy of skill-point allocation, his Evil Wolf Fist Technique reached a staggering one hundred levels, and his data panel now looked like this:
Host: Ron
Age: Nineteen years old
Physique: 25
Strength: 24
Agility: 28
Spirit: 15
Skill Point Balance: 99 billion
Skills:
Evil Wolf Punch: 2+98 (100 full levels).
Basic Sword Technique: Level 3
Marksmanship: Level 2
Cooking: Level 1
Medical Skills: Level 1
Ron's eyes gleamed with excitement. The fully-leveled Evil Wolf Fist had not only elevated his combat skills but also enhanced his physique and four-dimensional attributes unexpectedly. This development sparked a thought: could he further bolster his physical prowess by learning additional skills that enhanced strength? It seemed that he could attain extraordinary strength relying solely on skills.
"Look over here! We've got another pirate!" Just then, not far away, the shouts of a naval soldier rang out.
Ron swiftly turned his head to investigate, a cold determination forming on the corners of his mouth. Did these guys really think they could hunt him down and take his life?
"Young minions, allow me to demonstrate the power of the fully leveled Evil Wolf Fist Technique!"
Ron grinned, clenched his fists, and calmly advanced towards the approaching Navy.
His physique was no longer as emaciated as before, thanks to the improved physique and strength. His body had grown noticeably more muscular and stronger, far beyond its previous state.
"Hey there!" Four naval soldiers, approaching from a distance, wore sneering smiles on their faces. They raised their muskets, preparing to eliminate Ron from a distance.
"Evil Wolf Fist Technique!"
Ron's eyes glittered coldly as he threw a punch. A spectral wolf's head materialized, roaring and charging forth from his fist.
Rumble!!!
The entire island shook as if caught in a seismic upheaval.
Ron slowly retracted his fist and stared ahead, utterly astonished by his own display of power.
Before him lay a horrifying ravine over ten meters wide and hundreds of meters long, gouged into the earth of the island.
"Is this still the Evil Wolf Fist Technique?" Ron's lips quivered. This level of power was beyond what even ordinary Devil Fruits could grant.
"It seems my 'Golden Finger' has truly made the difference, just a touch, and the Evil Wolf Fist Technique has transformed!" Ron looked up and laughed. The oppressive atmosphere that had lingered in his heart for over a year had dissipated in an instant. At this moment, he possessed the strength to challenge the world of One Piece. With his newfound ability, he declared boldly, "The Navy, the World Government, the Seven Warlords, and the Four Emperors of the New World—I, Ron, am coming!"
