Pirate: It's reasonable for me to simulate a Super Saiyan, right?

"Yes, exercise!! Exercise!!"

Yang Hao made a decision and immediately went out to buy a large amount of food and some fitness equipment.

Since you've decided to exercise, you naturally need to prepare properly.

After recording his weight and other data, Yang Hao opened the simulator.

"Welcome to the simulation system. Please select the target and time for this simulation."

The only thing I set as my goal, aside from eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping, was to exercise and stay fit.

As for the time...

Yang Hao didn't set it for a month; after thinking about it, he only set it for ten days.

After all, if the exercise doesn't yield good results, it would be a complete waste.

If the exercise is effective, you can certainly continue.

On day one, you began your workout: push-ups, frog jumps, running...

[A day has passed in the blink of an eye. When you wake up the next day, your whole body aches and feels weak, especially your thighs. You almost don't want to get out of bed, but you still get up, eat, and continue exercising...]

On the third day, you overexerted yourself and couldn't move, spending the whole day in bed...

On the fourth day, you gritted your teeth and persevered...

On the sixth day, you seemed to have gotten used to it, and began exercising numbly, but a sense of boredom rose in your heart.

Day 8, another day of exercise.

On the tenth day, you can do one hundred push-ups in a row. After finishing your workout, you collapse on the ground, drenched in sweat.

[Simulation complete. This simulation produced positive changes: 1. Improved muscle strength; 2. Eliminated negative changes: muscle strain; 3. Reduced aversion to exercise.]

For Yang Hao, only one minute had passed.

But in the simulation system, ten days have passed.

Just then, a warm current flowed into Yang Hao's body and spread.

"Um...."

Yang Hao hummed comfortably, feeling as if he were soaking in a hot spring.

It took a while for the feeling to gradually dissipate.

"Let's see how much has changed."

Yang Hao quickly went over to weigh himself.

His previous weight was 120 pounds.

This will be called a title.

Good heavens, I've gained ten pounds, now I weigh 130 pounds!

When Yang Hao pulled open his clothes, he saw that his once thin stomach now showed some muscle definition.

He raised his arm again, bent it, and a barely noticeable muscle bulged out on his arm!

"Not bad, not bad."

Yang Hao nodded.

The effect is quite noticeable.

He used to be weaker than the average person, but now he's comparable to one.

Of course, it's impossible to say how effective it is.

Yang Hao judged that it would take at least a month for his physical condition to be stronger than that of an average person.

This is still based on the fact that he exercises hard every day.

If you exercise with a proper balance of intensity and rest, it might take several years to reach this level.

But being better than the average person is far from Yang Hao's goal.

Although he is not in danger at the moment, no one knows when danger will strike.

Who knows, disaster might strike while someone is sitting at home.

For the strong in this world, destroying a town with a single punch is not a difficult task!

Even an island can disappear just like that.

Of course, the chances of such a thing happening in the current West Sea are still very, very small.

But a low probability doesn't mean it's impossible.

Wasn't Ohara Island suddenly wiped out?

Yang Hao didn't want to die like an ant.

Therefore, his idea was still to become stronger as quickly as possible.

He has been in this world for almost ten days now, but the results are still not good.

Should we continue to focus Pelé's physical training?

Yang Hao thought about it and rejected the idea.

As for buying a gun, Yang Hao still didn't think it was a good idea.

A gun can't change anything.

What he needs is the kind of power that allows him to leave safely even if he loses millions or even tens of millions of Berries at a casino!

A pistol can't do that!

Are there any other options?

Yang Hao thought about it, and there really was one!

That is... a Devil Fruit!

Chapter 4: The Importance of Devil Fruits, Searching for the Black Market

The Importance of Devil Fruits in Chapter 004: Searching for the Black Market

That's right, it's a Devil Fruit!

Yang Hao thought of the famous cheat abilities in the world of One Piece...

Devil Fruit!

Without a doubt, if Yang Hao had a Devil Fruit, he would be able to take off on the spot.

Even the worst Devil Fruit should be enough for him to earn millions without worrying about others coveting and stealing it.

With a large amount of Beli at hand, it will be much easier to develop weapons, train the body, or develop Devil Fruits!

However, Devil Fruits are undoubtedly more difficult to deal with than pistols.

Not only are they many times more expensive, but they are also rare and precious treasures!

"Where can we get Devil Fruits?"

Yang Hao began to ponder again.

He didn't actually know much about the Devil Fruits in the West Blue.

[The Godfather of the Mafia] Capone Bege may be the closest Devil Fruit user to him!

But the problem is...

Let's not even talk about whether they can handle Capone Becky.

Even if I could deal with him, would I be able to obtain the Castle Fruit after killing him?

I don't think so.

Thinking of this, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile wryly.

While a Devil Fruit could certainly allow someone to take off instantly, or even reach the heavens in one step, obtaining one is undoubtedly as difficult as snatching chestnuts from a fire, countless times more difficult than getting a pistol!

Of course, Yang Hao did not give up easily.

After all, the Devil Fruit is his secret weapon for overtaking others.

As long as he obtains just one, he will be able to get through the weak period at the beginning, directly possess the power to protect himself, and lay an amazing foundation, thus laying a strong foundation for his future ascent to the top!

Where can we find Devil Fruits?

Yang Hao has some insights into this.

In the original work, it is often said that Devil Fruits are worth 100 million Berries on the black market.

In other words, Devil Fruits can be found on the black market.

In that case, he could simply look for it on the black market.

If Bowen Town doesn't have it, go to another town.

Of course, this is entirely a matter of luck.

It's possible that a Devil Fruit might not appear in the black market even once a year.

But this was the only thing Yang Hao could do.

Even if the hope is slim, he is unwilling to give up.

However, he didn't put all his hopes on Devil Fruits.

Next, while searching for the black market, he also began contacting all sorts of shady characters in an attempt to buy guns.

As for exercise, since it wasn't very effective, I had to stop for the time being.

After all, Yang Hao currently has a very limited amount of Pelé.

He planned to use all those Berries to find Devil Fruits and buy guns.

On your first day, you start interacting with all sorts of people in town. Because of the simulator, you don't beat around the bush; you directly state your desire to buy guns and participate in the black market, creating an image of someone wealthy and powerful!

Your persona quickly attracted the attention of a man nicknamed "Silly Dog," but he had ill intentions and soon lured you into a den of thieves, where several of his accomplices were.
