One Piece: My Uncle Is Kizaru

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: A New Storm Has Appeared



"Wow! Awesome!"

Once again, Kyle, lacking in literary sophistication, let out a primal exclamation of awe.

Clearly, his gaming system had been completely altered due to the transmigration.

He had never seen a game mechanic where spending Berries could level up before.

But overall, everything was off to a good start.

At least it showed that his system had normal functions.

And this made Kyle even more hopeful about his system.

"As long as I keep recruiting crew members, I can increase my combat power, right?"

"Since the [Captain] interface has been changed like this, maybe the other interfaces have some changes too?"

Closing the [Captain] interface, Kyle once again pressed the [Backpack] option with his mind.

Unfortunately, there was no newbie package as he had hoped, only an infinite bag that could carry system items.

"The backpack hasn't changed much."

Slightly disappointed, Kyle continued his exploration.

He opened the [Companions] option.

What greeted him was a blank screen.

Even the only [Training] button was grayed out.

This was normal, after all, he didn't have any companions yet.

According to the normal game flow, he had just logged into the game, and the tutorial hadn't even started yet.

Leaving the [Companions] window, Kyle opened the fourth [Dock] panel in order.

This time, something different finally appeared.

A new pop-up window appeared.

[Please select the ship to bind...]

Below the text was a sailing ship navigating the vast sea.

On the mast of the ship, the pirate flag Kyle had just raised was fluttering.

No doubt.

This was the ship Kyle was currently on.

He clicked on the ship model with his mind, and then another new window popped up.

[Please enter the name of the pirate ship______]

"Not again? Do I have to name it again!?"

For some reason, perhaps because he had been traumatized by the previous interface, Kyle now felt a headache whenever he saw such an interface.

And more importantly...

He was terrible at naming things!

When playing games, he always used the random names the system gave him.

"Let me think..."

He rubbed the stubble that had just grown back this morning, pretending to think.

If the dock function hadn't mutated and was still the same as the game mechanics, then after he activated the dock function, his ship should automatically give birth to a ship spirit.

Although in the game, this ship spirit was just there to guide the player, who knows what it would become in the real world.

So this name, he had to be careful.

However, for someone terrible at naming, being careful was just a waste of time.

At first, Kyle thought of the famous ship girls from his previous life.

A pirate ship, loved by its crew, transforming into a ship girl to repay the kindness, such a story would surely be more enduring than a ship spirit.

But unfortunately, the illustrations of those ship girls were too kawaii, completely not matching Kyle's aesthetic.

So now he couldn't even name a ship girl.

After thinking for five minutes, he finally gave up on the idea of naming the pirate ship after a ship girl.

"A real man should ride the wind and waves, do what a man should do! Women will only slow down my naming speed!!!"

After giving himself a reason, Kyle chose to abandon those girly names.

In his impression, whether it was Roger's ship or Whitebeard's ship, they all had quite macho names.

He could emulate that.

"More macho names..."

Kyle continued to search his memory.

But soon, some strange names started popping up from his memory.

Names like Kuwabara, Baki Hanma, Jotaro Kujo...

Thinking about having to live with such guys day and night, Kyle couldn't help but tighten his rear.

"Hmm... macho is good, but don't overdo it."

"Let's... think of a slightly more normal name."

Kyle subconsciously began to inspect his ship.

When his gaze focused on the captain's quarters he had just set up, he immediately remembered that in his bag, there was still a precious Devil Fruit he hadn't eaten yet.

"Speaking of which, when sailing on the sea, the power of the Storm Fruit seems quite important."

"Not only can it control the direction of the ship, but it can also combat natural disasters."

"My uncle really takes good care of me."

"How about directly naming the pirate ship Storm or Tempest?"

"Although it's a bit cliché, it sounds quite good."

"Wait..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Kyle's mind.

This was a muscle memory.

After thinking of the word storm, a line of passionate lyrics suddenly popped into his head.

[A new storm has appeared, how can we stand still!]

[Through time and space.]

[With all our might.]

[I will come to you!]

"By the way, I remember there seems to be an Ultraman card set in the pool..."

"I might really be able to get an Ultraman crew member in the future!"

"With Ultraman's immense power that spans the universe, not to mention being able to dominate in the pirate world, at least he would be the strongest in the world!"

"So, for good luck, my pirate ship will be called Diga!!!"

With a thought, the words [Diga] immediately appeared above the pop-up window.

At this moment, Kyle's world seemed to turn into light.

Of course, this didn't mean he really turned into light.

But the game's dock function had been officially activated.

A brand new, exquisite page suddenly appeared in Kyle's mind.

The first thing that caught his eye was the pirate ship's introduction panel.

[Diga]

[Level: 0]

[Experience: 0/10]

[Facilities: 0/1 (+)]

Just like the captain's introduction panel, as Kyle's thoughts moved, a detailed introduction of the dock system immediately popped up.

[Ship Level: The ship's size, hull hardness, and the number of facilities it can carry will all increase with the ship's level. (PS: When the ship reaches level 1, the Diga ship spirit will be activated.)]

[Experience: Spend 1 million Berries to gain 1 ship experience point.]

[Facilities: Rooms with special abilities that can make the pirate crew's adventures smoother.]

"Hmm... the dock system's mechanics are pretty much the same as in the game."

"But..."

Kyle pondered.

His gaze immediately noticed the ship experience points introduction.

Unlike the captain's information panel, where the captain's level only required spending Berries in the system to gain experience points.

For the ship's level, it directly consumed Berries.

Kyle currently had 50 million Berries in cash, enough to level up the ship once or twice, and his captain level could also increase accordingly.

But...

"Spending money can wait, let's see what the gacha system has to say..."

Good steel should be used on the blade.

50 million Berries, not too much, not too little, he had to use it carefully.

And according to the usual nature of mobile games, this system would definitely become a bottomless money pit.

With such limited initial funds, Kyle had to plan carefully.

In the game, the system divided items into six levels from E to S.

E being the worst, S being the strongest.

And these items all came from the game's gacha function.

Opening the [Gacha] option, another familiar interface appeared.

Three gacha machines of different colors and effects appeared in front of Kyle in sequence.

From left to right, the first light blue gacha machine was called [Common Gacha].

As the name suggests, this was the lowest level gacha machine in the system, with most of the pool being E-level common items, with a small chance to get D-A level rare items.

The second orange one was called [Rare Gacha].

Although this gacha machine's pool was very similar to the common gacha, the guaranteed minimum was D-level items.

And the highest prize was also upgraded to the top S-level.

But this thing was like a lottery.

It just told you that such a big prize existed.

As for winning the big prize?

Heh...

The last gacha machine was even more impressive.

Just the name [Legendary Gacha] was enough to make people yearn for it.

Not to mention the golden light constantly flashing around the gacha machine.

In the legendary gacha machine, the worst you could get was a C-level item, and the chance of getting an S-level item was greatly increased.

However...

After briefly understanding the situation of the three gacha machines, Kyle directly turned his attention to the first two gacha machines, as if he didn't see the legendary gacha machine.

No other reason.

Just one word,

——Poor!

As the highest level gacha machine in the game system, just one pull cost a whopping 100 million Berries!!!

Although for a transmigrator with big dreams, 100 million Berries wasn't too hard to say.

But at least for Kyle now, that wasn't something he should be thinking about yet.

But even the first two gacha machines weren't easy to deal with.

The rare gacha machine cost 10 million Berries per pull.

The common gacha machine cost 1 million Berries per pull!

1 million Berries...

In Coco Village, that was enough to buy ten months of an adult's life!

And according to Kyle's memory of the game, in the common gacha machine's pool, most of the items were things like Turtle Hermit's cane, Xiao Dangjia's cooking utensils, Demon Slayer Corps uniforms, Hinata's cheongsam, Bulma's panties, and other worthless items.

In the game, these items could be recycled by the system for some Berries.

But in the real world, who would recycle such junk?

"Sigh... I hope after transmigrating, this gacha machine can be a bit more generous."

No matter how bad the items in the game were, Kyle decided to spend some Berries to explore the gacha machine's pool after transmigrating.

Just like the song said:

A new gacha has appeared, how can we not pay~
