Chapter 133 The Fruit of Contract

"This is……"

Coby slumped to the ground, and just as he picked up the strange fruit, it was snatched away by a sharp-eyed pirate.

"Captain Alvida, look what this is!"

"Devil Fruit!?"

Alvida carefully examined the fruit, then recalled the legend that was considered a fairy tale in the East Sea.

"Legend has it that pirates who eat Devil Fruits are forever cursed by the sea, but at the same time, they gain immense power!"

Upon hearing her words, all the pirates revealed greedy eyes.

But because Alvida was gripping the giant spiked club tightly, they could only watch enviously.

Alvida excitedly picked up the fruit.

I was planning to eat it in one bite, but before I could even put it in my mouth, the fruit turned into a strange scroll with a mission written on it.

【Contract Quest (1/5)】

Mission objective: Hand over 500 million Berries.

Quest Reward: Lv.1 Beginner Iron Fist Gloves (White)

Tip: Completing five bounty missions will make you a new player in the Reincarnation Game.

Alvida stopped abruptly, her brow furrowed as she stared at the scroll's contents. She sneered, "Who's trying to swindle me out of my treasure? Five million Berries for a boxing glove?"

The pirate who had just stolen the Devil Fruit quickly pointed at Coby and said, "It was him. I took the Devil Fruit from him."

"Koby!"

Alvida angrily slammed the scroll at Koby, yelling, "If we weren't short of handymen, I would have smashed you into mincemeat! Get your ass to the cabin and clean!"

Koby was hit by the scroll and rolled twice before crashing into the mast.

Upon hearing this, he quickly grabbed the scroll and ran into the cabin with his head down.

"Master, will this kind of demonic contract work?"

When the first fruit was activated, Afu was able to sense it and observe the holder's movements as if he were observing a player.

These demonic contracts look like a combination of low-level trial tokens and quest scrolls.

Seeing Koby struggling with the struggle in his eyes, already drawn to the Demon Contract, Fang Yi smiled and said, "That's right. Anyone who obtains the Demon Contract can trigger a low-difficulty quest in the surrounding area."

For example, handing over treasures, fishing for the king of the near seas, collecting rare ores, gathering medicinal herbs, and so on...

Completing these easy tasks will earn you corresponding rewards, and once you've finished them all, you'll be able to enter the Pirate Starter Village.

"Unlike the ninja world where most ninjas can exchange ninjutsu as starting reward points due to the ninja clan tradition."

On screen, Koby sneaks into the treasure vault under the guise of cleaning.

Fang Yi laughed and pointed at him, saying, "In the world of One Piece, most creatures have crude and rudimentary combat skills. Relying solely on pure primal instincts, they have no capital to exchange for reward points."

"However, unlike the stable class system in the ninja world, even the weakest commoners and slaves in the pirate world possess extremely powerful abilities."

"Ambition!"

The Alvida Pirates' treasure, even when combined, amounts to only five million Berries. The missions triggered by the Devil Contract will not exceed the limit that the holder can complete.

Inside the cabin,

Koby thought of the innocent villagers who had been killed, the children who had been released but whose faces were filled with hatred, and the village engulfed in flames...

The entire warehouse was suddenly emptied.

[Task completed, reward issued]

Koby swallowed hard, nervously scanning the empty warehouse, and suddenly felt a pang of regret.

I suddenly became confused and rashly believed in a strange demonic contract.

The treasure disappeared.

Even if he can't prove he did it, Alvida's anger will still be vented on him, and he'll most likely be thrown into the sea to be fed to sharks.

at this time,

A pair of heavy iron gauntlets landed on Koby.

【Beginner Iron Fist Gauntlets Lv.1 (White)】: A beginner weapon produced in the Reincarnation Game. Wearing it increases Strength by 2.

Note: Holders of the Demon Contract can temporarily activate the player template.

【Kobby】

Level: 1 (1/50 experience)

Attributes: Strength 2 (+2), Agility 2, Constitution 2, Spirit 3

Equipment: Beginner Iron Fist Gloves

Skills: None

Hint: In the world of One Piece, the basic physical attributes of a normal human male are [3].

"This is... the power of a demonic contract?"

Koby had never seen anything like this before. He put on the iron gauntlets in a daze and suddenly felt his strength become much greater.

【Contract Quest (2/5)】

Mission objective: Kill the pirate Toz.

Quest Reward: Lv.1 Random Skill (White)

"You want me to...kill Toz?"

Koby's lips were trembling.

Being timid and cowardly by nature, I've never killed a chicken or duck, let alone a person.

Timid, clumsy, and isolated by her peers since childhood, she went out to sea alone to fish but ended up on the wrong ship and was used as a handyman by the Alvida Pirates.

courage.

It was something he had never possessed, and something he could never possess.

Not to mention the courage to kill.

Even if the treasure is lost and Alvida smashes it to pieces with her spiked club, she wouldn't dare to even think of resisting, right?

"Useless. It's a waste for someone like that to get a demon contract."

Afu clearly didn't think much of Koby, who was chubby, had a round face, and looked easy to bully.

In the ninja world, even the weakest genin is still a weapon of war that has seen blood and killed people.

Compared to that, it's far inferior.

Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Don't be impatient, just watch slowly."

Koby, who will be able to awaken Observation Haki and Armament Haki in the future and is carefully taught by Garp, has considerable potential.

I just don't have the courage to face my own heart yet.

"Koby!"

"You bastard, get out here right now and bring another barrel of rum!"

"yes!"

Koby responded loudly, trembling all over.

He carefully locked the treasure vault, then went to the cargo warehouse at the stern of the ship and took out a barrel of rum.

These are amazing iron fist gloves. They disappear when you put them on, but reappear on your fist when you call upon them. Even when they disappear, they can still enhance your strength as long as you are wearing them.

He effortlessly lifted the barrel out, only to hear a faint scream coming from inside.

Open the barrel lid,

Inside were the children who had been released earlier, huddled together in fear.

"That's true. The entire village was ransacked by pirates. In that situation, hiding in a barrel of sake was the best option."

Unfortunately, they were carried onto the ship by the Alvida Pirates.

Koby took a deep breath and said, "Shh, don't make a sound. I'll let you go quietly once we reach the shore."

boom.

The door to the warehouse was kicked open.

Toz, reeking of alcohol, glared fiercely at Koby and yelled, "I told you to carry a barrel of liquor, and you dare to slack off?"

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the child peeking out of the wine barrel.

A thought flashed through his mind and he immediately said maliciously, "Kobby, so it was you! You let my prey go. It seems you don't want to be a menial shipwright, but rather shark bait."

"No...she's just a child who accidentally wandered onto the ship. She can work, please don't tell Alvida!"

Clang.

Pirate Toz drew his dagger, a malicious smile playing on his lips, and walked toward the barrel of wine.

"Kill the escaped prey first, and you... Coby, I'll tell Alvida what happened, and then the captain will handle it."

Pirate Toz glanced contemptuously at Coby, shoved him aside, and turned his back to him without any warning.

Even if you handed a dagger to this cowardly and timid fellow, he wouldn't dare do anything to himself.

"Waaaaah..."

The sound of a child crying.

Koby's head was buzzing, filled with the screams of villagers, the sneers of pirates, and the sounds of houses burning.

What should I do? Should I just keep standing there?

But I'm just Coby, a cowardly coward whom my peers jokingly call Coby the weakling. Am I supposed to defeat the pirate Tots?

Can I really do it?

Koby trembled violently, his forehead beaded with cold sweat. He looked at Toz, who was grinning maliciously, and his iron gauntlet appeared as if by magic.

boom.

He slammed a heavy punch into the opponent's back.

Before the pirate Toz could turn around, a barrage of punches rained down on him.

The burly and strong Toz didn't even have a chance to fight back against Koby, who was wearing iron gauntlets. He was knocked unconscious by two punches to the head.

[Task completed, reward issued]

Koby suddenly felt that some special combat techniques had appeared in his mind.

【Straight Fist Lv.1 (White)】: The ancient Southern Kingdom, long since destroyed, has passed down its martial arts techniques. Gathering all the strength, it delivers a straight punch forward.

Upgrade requirements: 50 proficiency, 50 skill experience
