No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

Let's start with a picture of the Empress.

Chapter 2 Absorbing the Attributes of the Fish School

After briefly checking his system panel, Luo Hou gained a basic understanding of his current strength.

His diligent daily training after transmigrating to the world of One Piece proved very effective.

Compared to the average adult male, he is definitely very capable.

Although this little bit of strength is nothing in the face of this raging sea, it's better than nothing.

"How do I absorb attributes? Looks like I'll have to find an inhabited island first~"

The thought that the power he had once longed for was now within reach made Luo Hou unwilling to waste any more time. He immediately began to frantically swing his oars and sailed quickly toward the nearest island.

However, at that moment, the huge noise he made while slapping the sea surface startled a group of flying fish that were swimming over and caused them to leap out of the water and jump wildly.

However, Rahu has no interest in catching these flying fish that were once very expensive.

But just as he glanced over, he suddenly noticed that tiny, shimmering, multicolored spherical objects were falling from the leaping flying fish.

And these colorful balls were seemingly drawn towards his body by a pulling force.

Upon witnessing this scene, Luo Hou clearly realized that this was the ability to absorb external attributes that the system had initially mentioned.

Although Luo Hou didn't understand why these broken fish could drop attributes, he expressed great respect for them.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 1 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 1 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 1 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 1 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 1 stamina points!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 1 stamina points!]

The system notification sound didn't last long; it just flashed by before falling silent.

It's obvious that these flying fish can only provide a tiny bit of attribute.

However, Luo Hou was still very happy about this unexpected windfall.

Although its current attributes are only those of a relatively strong ordinary person, Luo Hou believes that as long as it continues to absorb the attributes of strong individuals, it can definitely become a powerful figure in a short period of time.

If one is lucky enough to join the Rocks Pirates and gain experience, and absorb the attributes dropped by powerful figures such as Whitebeard, Shiki, and Charlotte Linlin, their strength will increase even more rapidly.

Furthermore, it can directly absorb swordsmanship, Haki, physical skills, and even Devil Fruit abilities that only strong individuals possess!

In the world of One Piece, in addition to basic physical strength, special skills such as Haki, swordsmanship, and Devil Fruits are also indispensable.

If any one of these skills is cultivated to the level of the world's strongest, it will be able to cause extremely high destructive power.

However, all things considered, these skills ultimately rely on an individual's physical strength as a foundation.

Swordsmanship and martial arts require immense physical strength to unleash terrifying destructive power.

Devil Fruits, being a special type of energy governed by rules, also require the body's physical strength to convert.

Among these skills, "domineering aura" is an attack technique that arises from the excessive strength of the human body.

People with strong physiques can definitely possess an aura of dominance. Some individuals even have an innate kingly aura and can directly awaken the invincible aura of Conqueror's Haki.

Rahu has activated the system due to the extremely strong killing intent he had previously generated, which has resulted in the generation of a high-level Conqueror's Haki.

[Host: Rahu]

【Age: 18】

Strength: 20 (10 for a normal adult male)

Agility: 20 (10 for a normal adult male)

Physical Strength: 32 (normal adult male 10)

[Overpowering Aura: Conqueror's Haki (Advanced)]

[Skills: None]

[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

After casually glancing at his data panel, which showed slight changes, Luo Hou clearly felt that his current power had increased somewhat.

"What a pity! If I could pass by a sea king right now, I might be able to absorb a massive amount of its attributes to strengthen my physique."

Slightly disappointed to find no trace of sea kings on the surface of the sea, Rahu stopped consolidating his position and focused on heading towards the island.

After sailing for several hours on the turbulent sea, Rahu finally saw a lush green island appear on the horizon directly in front of him.

The well-arranged houses on the island clearly indicate that it is a very prosperous island.

After roughly determining the direction of the port of the island directly ahead, Luo Hou immediately increased the speed of the boat and frantically swung the oars, charging towards the island.

He urgently needs to find a place with a huge flow of people to frantically absorb attributes that can enhance his strength.

After a long while, Rahu landed on the island and headed towards the center of the town.

And the crowd he had been waiting for finally appeared before him.

Because the power of humans was significantly different from that of the non-fish swarms, a large number of radiant attribute orbs instantly fell from the bodies of these civilians living on the island as soon as they approached Rahu's body.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 30 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 25 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 10 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 12 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 30 stamina points!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 20 stamina points!]

The instant the system notification sounded, Luo Hou felt a very clear change in his body.

Although these are all attribute orbs dropped by ordinary people, if the base number is large enough, the amount of attributes that can be absorbed is also quite considerable.

After wandering around the most crowded area in the center of the island for a long time, until no more attributes could be dropped from ordinary people, Luo Hou began to take stock of his numerical gains this time.

At this moment, his basic physical condition has changed significantly compared to before.

His originally muscular physique grew taller to about two meters after the massive increase in his basic attributes, and the muscles on his body became even more swollen and full.

.....

Chapter 3 Naval Lieutenant Commander

[Host: Rahu]

【Age: 18】

Strength: 160 (Naval Headquarters Lieutenant Commander level)

Agility: 130 (Naval Headquarters Lieutenant Commander level)

Stamina: 300 (Naval Headquarters Lieutenant Commander level)

[Overpowering Aura: Conqueror's Haki (Advanced)]

Skills: Fishing techniques, street fighting skills, fruit wine brewing, basic navigation...

[Devil Fruit Ability: None]

Feeling the continuous power emanating from within his body, Luo Hou's flames of revenge burned even more intensely.

That murderous gaze swept across the surroundings, instantly triggering the unique aura and energy of Conqueror's Haki deep within his mind.

In an instant, a faint red energy wave, invisible to the naked eye, spread outwards from Luo Hou's body for nearly several kilometers.

Those in the surrounding crowd, who had only been in direct contact for less than a second, all foamed at the mouth, rolled their eyes back, and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

In response, Rahu could only silently apologize in his heart, after all, this was the first time he had accidentally used Conqueror's Haki, and he did not yet have the ability to directly and skillfully control it.

"Although my strength has improved significantly, it is simply impossible to seek revenge against the Celestial Dragons with this much power!"

Having determined that the attributes dropped by ordinary people could no longer provide any improvement for him, Luo Hou turned his gaze to Hatchinos Island on the sea chart.

It was known to the world as a paradise for pirates, a gathering place for countless vicious and ruthless pirates.

In such an environment, the Rocks Pirates naturally had countless powerful members.

If Rahu can join the Rocks Pirates and absorb enough elemental energy and powerful physical combat skills, his chances of succeeding in taking revenge on the Celestial Dragons will greatly increase.

However, joining the Rocks Pirates is simply impossible based on wishful thinking alone.

In this era named after Locus, joining his team requires passing an assessment.

The assessment content can be simple in some ways, but extremely difficult in others.

Because Rocks D. Xebec, as the captain of the Rocks Pirates, gave his fleet only one request for entering the area.

That means you need to have a level of skill that he can respect!

If you want to catch the eye of such a powerful ruler of the sea, you must at least be strong enough to fight a Marine Admiral one-on-one without being at a disadvantage.

The Rocks Pirates did not have many main crew members.

Whether it's Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, Charlotte Linlin, or others, they are all powerful figures capable of consistently suppressing or even directly defeating the Marine Headquarters Admirals.

......

After spending a few more hours on the island, replenishing his fishing boat with water and food, Luo Hou returned to the port where he had landed, preparing to set off again to find more powerful passersby to absorb and strengthen himself.

However, just as he was about to loosen the ropes tied to the wooden stakes in the harbor to secure the fishing boat.
