Chapter 2 I Want to Be the First MateAfter some time, Mark stopped, looking at the increasingly dense trees before him.He couldn't help but stroke his chin, deep in thought."Hmm... where did I go wrong?""There's no way I'm as stupid as Zoro, right?""Can't even find my way?"Just as Mark was still pondering, a sound reached his ears."Gomu Gomu...""Hm? This is..."Mark's eyes lit up, and he ran towards the source of the sound.As soon as he arrived, Mark saw a young boy wearing a straw hat punch a tiger.Dozens of meters separated the boy and the tiger.But his fist stretched out directly, hitting the tiger hard on its chin.Seeing this scene, Mark's mouth curved into a smile."Monkey D. Luffy?""It seems I know where to go next!"In that case... just as Mark was still thinking, the tiger that was sent flying crashed straight towards him.Luffy was also startled when he suddenly saw someone appear.He quickly shouted:"Get out of the way!""Hm?" Mark was still lost in his thoughts; he looked up when he heard Luffy's voice.A massive figure entered his view, about to crash into him in the next second.Mark was shocked.He instinctively threw a punch forward."Bang!"The tiger, having just flown over and not yet landed, was punched away again by Mark.Moreover, the power was much stronger than Luffy's previous punch.The tiger's bones were directly broken, and it spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.It crashed into several trees before finally stopping.(＃°Д°)!""You, you..." Luffy stared blankly at Mark, unable to utter a complete sentence.At this moment, Mark was equally bewildered.Is he... this strong?He hadn't used much strength just now!The power was actually so great?At this point, Mark belatedly realized.It seems his Indestructible Body has some tricks!It's only Elementary, and it's already this strong?"Amazing! You're so powerful!"Luffy ran over and said excitedly to Mark."Are you from Foosha Village too? Why haven't I seen you before?""No, I just arrived in Foosha Village today," Marksaid, shaking his head."Hello, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the man who will become the Pirate King!" Luffy said confidently."I want you to join my crew, come be my vice-captain!""Hm?" Mark was a bit confused.He was just thinking about how to persuade Luffy to let him join the crew!He didn't expect it to be resolved so easily?Should he say something like,As expected of Luffy!He's so "careful" when choosing vice-captains!That's right, Mark had already made up his mind when he met Luffy.That was to join Luffy's crew.Follow the main characters!Most of the plot islands in Pirate King are related to the main characters.Following them just happens to align with his System's goal!Moreover, following the main characters also reduces the risk of dying prematurely, greatly increasing safety!Although his current strength seems decent, he wouldn't be arrogant.Are there not enough monsters in Pirate King?Even if this is the weakest East Blue among the Four Seas.But what if he accidentally encounters Golden Lionone day? Wouldn't that be game over?So, it's safer to stick with Luffy and his crew.And most importantly... when Mark watched Pirate King in his previous life, he greatly envied their camaraderie.At that time, he even wished he could be one of them.Now the opportunity has presented itself.He definitely has to seize it!Thinking of this, Mark said to Luffy:"Alright! But I have one condition!""I want to be the vice-captain!""Hahaha... Good!" Luffy happily agreed."So... Captain, when do you plan to set sail?""We'll leave tomorrow! Tonight, let's have a big meal first!"Hearing the word "eat," Mark instinctively looked at the tiger lying there.Grinning, he said:"Good!"He was hungry just in time... The next day~"No, I'm telling you, Luffy, can't you find a bigger boat?"Mark said helplessly, looking at the boat beneath his feet that could barely carry two people."I couldn't find one. This boat is the biggest one I could steal from Grandpa Mayor!"...Mark couldn't help but rub his forehead.Suddenly, he doubted whether his impulsive decision to join Luffy's crew yesterday was right or wrong.But now it was too late.He was on a pirate ship; there was no getting off.Just then, Luffy suddenly shouted:"Mark, look!""There's a tornado coming towards us!""What?!"Mark turned his head to look.Sure enough, the sea, which had been calm just moments ago, was now covered in dark clouds, he didn't know when.Instantly, large raindrops poured down from the sky.And at this moment, a huge tornado was also heading towards Mark and his crew.Oh my god, not only is this a pirate ship.It's also a dangerous ship!Mark and his small boat were teetering in the storm.Especially since the tornado was about to reach them; their boat would definitely not withstand it.Suddenly, Mark noticed two connected barrels floating in the distance.His eyes lit up!He had an idea!"Luffy, do you see those two barrels?""Row towards them quickly!""Okay!"Arriving next to the barrels, Mark opened one to look inside."Hmm..."There was no sake in the barrel!Then Mark turned and shouted to Luffy:"Quick, get in!""Okay!" Luffy didn't hesitate and jumped straight in.After all, encountering such a situation, he, being unable to swim, was very afraid.Seeing Luffy jump in, Mark also opened the other barrel and jumped in.Before closing the lid, he pushed the small boat next to them.To prevent it from dragging them down later... Above a certain sea area in the East Blue.The gentle sea breeze blew softly, gulls cried occasionally, a tranquil and beautiful scene.But at this moment.On a ship flying a pirate flag with a skull and a heart."Hahaha... My men!""In this vast sea, who is the most beautiful woman?"A coarse, fat woman's voice came."Of... of course, it's the Captain of this ship!""Young Miss Alvida!"A group of pirates said, trembling."Hahahahaha...""Well said!""Besides me, no one else deserves this title!"After saying that, the woman laughed loudly again.The fat on her face jiggled with her laughter.That's right, this person was none other than Iron Mace Alvida, with a bounty of 5 million.Even pigs would feel ashamed of her amount of fat!Just then, a small, chubby boy with pink hair shouted:"Young Miss Alvida, I found two connected barrels on the sea!""Hm? Connected barrels?""Go! Haul them up!""Let this Young Miss see if there's anything good!"
Chapter 3 The Face-Saving Fruit UserBefore long, these two barrels were salvaged by the pirates.Alvida looked at the salvaged barrels happily; with her many years of sailing experience, she could tell at a glance that these barrels did not contain wine.The draft depth was different!And on this vast sea, if a barrel doesn't contain wine, what is it most likely to contain?Treasure, of course!Thinking of this, Alvida happily walked towards the barrel.She even said:"Koby, you did well, keep it up!""Yes! Young Miss Alvida!"Koby replied tremblingly."Treasure, I'm coming!"Alvida's plump hands slowly reached for the barrel's lid.Just as she was about to touch the barrel.A fist emerged from inside, slowly enlarging in Alvida's eyes."Bang!"Alvida was caught off guard and was directly sent flying.At the same time, a person's voice came from the barrel's location."Sleeping ~ felt ~ so ~ good!"The pirates stared blankly at Alvida, who had been sent flying, then looked at Luffy, who was stretching.A thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds."This kid is dead!"At the same time, the other barrel also shattered."Yo! It seems the outcome hasn't changed much!"Mark said, looking at the pirate grunts in front of him and Alvida lying over there.He didn't expect that even with him, this little butterfly, the impact on the plot wasn't significant.He still met Alvida.Mark thought this was good; at least his appearance wouldn't affect the plot's direction.Wouldn't that mean he had a prophet cheat?System cheat + prophet cheat!Invincible!!!It was just that this time, the wooden barrels they were in were not moved from a merchant ship.In that case, Nami isn't on this ship right now, is she?But now was clearly not the time for Mark to think so much.Alvida over there was about to go crazy.Getting up from the ground, she shouted at Luffy:"You bastard, do you know what you've done?"Huh?Luffy looked at the furious Alvida without any reaction.After picking his nose with his finger, he said:"Who is this rude Old Hag!""Rude... Old Hag?"All the surrounding pirates' expressions changed.Alvida's Face turned green with rage.She picked up her iron mace and swung it at Luffy, saying:"I'm going to kill you!"Luffy easily dodged Alvida's attack with a light leap.Then he punched her in the Face again.As expected, she flew off again.Seeing this, the pirate grunts immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.They prepared to gang up on Luffy.However, a figure blocked their way.Mark looked at the pirates and said indifferently:"This road is blocked!"But none of these pirates paid attention to what Mark said.Would a group of pirates who live by the sword every day be afraid of a wet-behind-the-ears brat like you?What a joke!Then a group of people swarmed forward.One pirate, wearing a bandana, even sneered and said:"You'll know if the road is blocked when you're underground!"Seeing this, Mark sighed lightly."Alas! Why bother?"Then Mark's eyes narrowed.His figure instantly vanished from the spot."Bang!""Bang!"...In just a few breaths, these pirates were all lying peacefully on the ground.As if they saw their great-grandmothers waving at them!Mark was not surprised by the current situation.He himself wasn't sure how strong he was now.The Indestructible Body that came with the great sage, equal to heaven devil fruit was indeed quite amazing.It greatly enhanced his Physique.And he even inherited the Monkey King's combat experience.Isn't that just outrageous?Sometimes Mark wondered if the System simply gave him a devil fruit setting to make the great sage, equal to heaven appear in the Pirate Kingworld logically.Otherwise, he had never heard of any devil fruit that could inherit combat experience!However, he didn't want to think about these things.He just knew he was the beneficiary, and that was enough.Then Mark turned his head and saw Luffy and Alvida, who had just been fighting, now confronting each other.Then Koby also shouted that line."This person is the most...""The ugliest Old Hag on this vast sea!"Alvida shouted:"You stinky brat!"Then the iron mace swung down towards Koby.Luffy instantly appeared in front of Koby and directly took the blow with his head.A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth."Looks like... it's useless!""Gomu Gomu...""Pistol!""Bang!""Ugh!"The fist hit Alvida squarely in the stomach, making her eyes almost pop out.Then, like Gray Wolf, she flew into the sky.And landed in the distant sea.It just lacked the classic line.Mark glanced at the pirate grunts on the ground and kicked them with his foot."Hey! Go get all the food from this ship for us!""If you're late...""You can imagine the consequences yourself!"Hearing this, these pirates shuddered.Enduring the pain, they struggled to get up and scurried off to find food.Luffy walked over, laughing boisterously:"Mark, how did you know I was hungry?""No! I'm just hungry!"...Some time later~"Hoo~""Hoo~"Mark and Luffy both lay on the deck, rubbing their full bellies with happy smiles.Mark found that he didn't know if it was because he had Awakened the Indestructible Body.He found that his appetite was even greater than Luffy's, the great eater!A little outrageous!It seems Sanji will be busy in the future~After resting for a while.Mark then asked the pirates:"Where is all the treasure on your ship?"Although he wasn't a money-grubber like Nami.But he needed to eat!He and Luffy both had pockets cleaner than their Faces.No money in his pocket, he felt uneasy!"In the ship's hold!"One of the pirates answered tremblingly."Why are you just standing there? Take me there!"Mark scolded the pirate, who just stared blankly at him after speaking, in a bad mood."Yes!""Please follow me!"...Arriving at the place where the treasure was stored, Mark was very satisfied with the scene before him.There were 5 million beli.And some gold, jewels, etc.Although Mark didn't know the value of these things.He figured they shouldn't be too bad."Alright, you can leave now!""And close the door on your way out!"Mark said to the pirate who led him in."Yes!"With a thought, all the treasure before Markinstantly disappeared from its spot.He had stored it in his system space.The system space could only store inanimate objects.But there was no time flow inside.This meant that if Mo Li put a piece of meat in, it would be the same as it was before it went in.It would come out exactly the same.He had already tested this in the past few days.The space size was 1000 billion cubic meters.It sounded very large.But in reality, it was just a cube with a length, width, and height of 10,000 meters.This size actually couldn't even hold the corpses of some of the larger Sea Kings in Pirate King.But for treasure?He could store as much as there was!The Straw Hat Pirates had to act according to Nami's Face.And Nami had to act according to treasure.I have treasure!So in the end, everyone on the ship would have to act according to my Face.Hmm... Correct!From now on, I am the Face Devil Fruit Ability user of the Straw Hat Pirates!
