A pirate on the high seas kidnaps a Celestial Dragon!

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

Furthermore, even if he wanted to fight to the death, he simply didn't have the strength to continue fighting.

"Old Sha, I'll gladly accept all your treasure."

"Keep working hard in the future, earn more money, and acquire more treasures. I'll come back to see you next time."

Before leaving, Qi Bai didn't forget to give Crocodile some "encouragement".

Crocodile, lying on the ground, was enraged by these words.

Crocodile vowed that he would not be human if he did not avenge this.

At that moment, the seed of hatred was planted.

"Ding! Operation against a notorious bandit completed!"

"Ding! Calculating the robbery incident..."

"Ding! Target strength level: City Destroyer Level!"

"Ding! Item acquired level: City Destroyer Level!"

"Ding! Future Fame Level: Ocean Region!"

"Ding! Future Impact Level: All Seas!"

"Ding! Calculation complete. This event is rated as S+++."

"Ding! You have gained 10.0000 reputation points!"

"Ding: Bonus rewards: 1 S-rank random weapon draw ticket, 1 S-rank random ability draw ticket! 1 S-rank random subordinate draw ticket!"

"..."

Qi Bai was overjoyed to hear this news.

Crocodile's current strength is only at the city-destroying level, so theoretically, his event rating should only be A.

Fortunately, Crocodile's identity is quite special. He was the first major boss that the main characters encountered, and he was also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The convergence of various factors led to the upgrade in the rating of this ruthless bandit incident, which exceeded Qi Bai's expectations and was undoubtedly a good thing.

"It seems that if I want to get more rewards, I need to interact more with the characters related to the main storyline of One Piece."

This contact is, of course, not just as simple as it sounds.

Qi Bai will become more skilled through practice, and by gradually figuring out the tricks of the trade, he will definitely avoid many detours.

Not long after, Qi Bai obtained three more S-level lottery tickets, but he didn't rush to use them, planning to wait until he got back to draw them.

I hope this system will give me more useful tools and capabilities.

"Aren't you going to kill Crocodile?"

Just as Qi Bai was about to return home, Nicole Robin asked in confusion.

Having spent most of her life in exile and experienced the harsh realities of life, Nico Robin deeply understands that being merciful to one's enemies is being cruel to oneself.

Based on her understanding of Crocodile, releasing such a vindictive person would inevitably sow the seeds of future trouble for them.

"What's wrong? Are you worried he'll retaliate against Uncle?"

Qi Bai replied with a smile that he couldn't wait for Crocodile to come seeking revenge, but only if he brought plenty of treasures with him.

"You've just joined us, and you're not quite familiar with my rules yet."

"Remember, we are not pirates, we are ruthless bandits. Our job is to rob, extort, and kidnap."

"Killing is not something we pursue."

Qi Bai took a deep breath and said seriously, his tone frighteningly earnest.

Nico Robin was completely stunned...

No... dude... did I hear that right...?

Who am I? Where am I?

Chapter 84: Sustainable Development Strategy! [Please subscribe and subscribe to the full chapter!]

Chapter 84: Sustainable Development Strategy!

The pursuit expressed by Qi Bai, this ruthless bandit, is truly refreshing and unconventional.

For a moment, Nico Robin wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

After repeatedly confirming, he looked carefully at Qi Bai, and it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Forget it, let me put it this way: if we kill everyone, whose things will we steal from in the future?"

Qi Bai countered with a question.

"This is called a sustainable development strategy. In order to keep us always having something to do, we can't go too far."

Qi Bai regarded this principle as the truth.

Nico Robin thought it made some sense, but something still felt off.

However, Qi Bai is the boss, and the decision-making power is in his hands.

"Alright, that's enough, let's go."

The group then swaggered back home.

Back on the Going Merry, Qi Bai was alone in his room when he activated the system.

It's time to use those three raffle tickets I just got.

"System, use an S-rank random weapon draw ticket!"

In his hand, the S-rank random weapon draw ticket also turned into specks of light and disappeared completely.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! S-rank random weapon draw ticket successfully used."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: 9 Seeking Dao Jade!"

"..."

The system's voice fell.

[The Truth-Seeking Ball: It is formed based on Yin-Yang Release and infused with high-density chakra of all seven attributes of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. It contains the power of all things in the universe. Without the power of the Six Paths, it will be destroyed upon contact.]

Qi Bai's eyes widened in surprise. He had even taken out the Truth-Seeking Ball, but he didn't know if it would be useful in the One Piece world.

It shouldn't be too far off, after all, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju transformed into nation-destroying powerhouses when they arrived here, and the power of the Truth-Seeking Balls should surpass that of the two of them.

"Pay attention to the annotations regarding the Seeking the Way Jewel."

Just then, the system couldn't stand it anymore and gave a direct warning.

Qi Bai immediately read the introduction of the Seeking the Dao Jade again, and the last two sentences caught his attention.

"Without the blessing of the Six Paths power, touching it will reduce it to nothingness..."

This is the world of One Piece. No matter how powerful a person is, they cannot master the power of the Six Paths. This means that in this world, everyone who comes into contact with the Truth-Seeking Ball will disappear.

Isn't this effect a bit too disruptive to the balance?

Suddenly, Qi Bai fell silent again.

"Wait a minute, System, I don't have the power of the Six Paths either. Could it be that if I encounter it, I might also..."

Qi Bai was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Look at you, so timid. Although you don't have the power of the Six Paths, you are the master of the Truth-Seeking Jewel and can control it."

"As long as I avoid touching the Truth-Seeking Balls, that's fine."

"Oh, I see," Qi Bai breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking he had drawn a bomb.

"System, I want to use an S-level random ability lottery ticket."

"Ding... Successful use..."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained the Predator ability."

[Predator: Absorbs its prey into its body, can analyze and study the absorbed prey, generate and create potential tools, has the opportunity to learn the prey's skills and magic, and possesses various abilities such as mimicry and isolation.]

This ability comes from the world of "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime".

The protagonist of that world relied on this predator ability to gradually become the strongest there. This ability was truly abnormal, but Qi Bai was somewhat amused and exasperated.

Well, he knew this ability was powerful, but eating the enemy during battle was really a bit unreasonable.

Well, having it is better than not having it. Who knows, this ability might come in handy at a crucial moment.

1. "System, I want to use an S-rank random subordinate lottery ticket."

"Ding! S-rank random subordinate lottery ticket successfully used."

As the system announced its announcement, Qi Bai's last lottery ticket vanished into thin air.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn an S-rank random subordinate, Minato Namikaze (Nation Destroyer Level)."

Upon hearing this news, Qi Bai felt as if he had won the lottery; Minato Namikaze was another powerful general from the Naruto world.

7 He was very happy; this could be considered his luckiest time yet.

In terms of sheer strength, Minato Namikaze might not be as good as Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju.

Zero and his brother hold a very high level of dominance in the Naruto world.

Madara Uchiha's Susanoo and Hashirama Senju's Great Buddha were absolutely invincible on the battlefield.

However, from another perspective, Minato Namikaze is more practical.

In the blink of an eye, a handsome blond young man appeared in front of Qi Bai.

As expected of the Fourth Hokage, he is still as handsome as ever.

“Master, I am Minato Namikaze.”

"Ahem, you're just like them, from now on you can just call me boss."

"Okay, boss."

Looking at Minato Namikaze in front of him, Qi Bai was most concerned about the Flying Thunder God Technique that Minato had mastered.

No matter what world it is, the Flying Thunder God Technique is an absolute game-breaking ability.

Once marked by Minato Namikaze, one can teleport without restrictions.

This ability is just too convenient.

After the lottery, Qi Bai led Minato Namikaze out and excitedly introduced the new member of the team to everyone.

The new member, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was no longer surprising to the others.

Qi Bai's methods always exceed people's imagination.

It's worth mentioning that Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and others didn't know Minato Namikaze, but Zabuza Momochi did have some impression of him.

After all, Minato Namikaze wasn't even born when the former two people passed away.

"Everyone should get along well. I don't want any conflicts between my subordinates."

Qi Bai said calmly.

On the other side, in the prison cells on the ship.

Weiwei was so hungry that she was about to faint when the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Let's eat something first."

"You're finally back! I thought you'd forgotten about me."

Weiwei said weakly.

Do you know what we're going to do?

"What does this have to do with me?"

Vivi wolfed down the food that was brought to her, completely oblivious to everything else.

"Qi Bai led us to defeat the Baroque Works led by Crocodile."
