The system's notification completely stunned Lius, leaving him unable to react for quite some time.
An expert of his caliber would not bat an eye even in the face of death.
Yet right now, his mind went completely blank!
It felt just like a dream, appearing so incredibly surreal!
Ever since he entered the Grand Line, his luck with the check-in system could not even be considered average. It could only be described as terrible.
As a result, Lius had already grown accustomed to insignificant rewards.
He never expected the system to suddenly drop a massive surprise on him right when he cared the least.
It was simply astonishing.
This shock lasted until the system's notification rang out several consecutive times.
[Check in?]
[Check in?]
[Check in?]
Only then did Lius gradually recover his senses. The joy welling up in his heart was completely indescribable.
The check-in system featured four distinct tiers: daily, special, transcendent, and king-level!
Lius had only obtained a king-level check-in once before. That was his very first check-in, which granted him max-level Conqueror's Haki and provided him with the absolute best aptitude on the seas right from the start.
Because of this, he forged a profound master and disciple bond with Shiki.
Otherwise, given the old man's cold-blooded and ruthless nature, there was no way he would pour all his effort into training Lius into a top-tier expert for no reason at all.
Shiki had clearly taken a liking to his peerless max-level Conqueror's Haki aptitude.
After all, this was a unique type of Haki that could not be cultivated. A person's destiny alone dictated whether they possessed it, and it only grew stronger alongside their personal growth.
Yet Lius possessed max-level Conqueror's Haki from the very beginning.
He was an absolutely unique freak of nature in this ocean.
"I wonder what this king-level check-in will yield?" Lius murmured, his eyes flickering with excitement as anticipation swelled in his heart.
This trip to Alabasta had not only netted him a highly desired crew member in Nico Robin. He had also obtained a king-level check-in right before leaving.
Indeed, the darkness would eventually pass. Life would sooner or later usher in the light.
The sheer excitement and exhilaration of his current check-in perfectly mirrored just how pitiful his previous ones had been.
[Check in?]
The system's prompt interrupted his train of thought.
He took a deep breath to calm his surging emotions before slowly chanting in his mind.
"Check in!"
The moment he gave the command.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: copy card x1!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a random: Zoan class devil fruit, mythical type!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Marrow Cleansing Pill x10!]
The system's notifications faded away.
His check-in experiences were few and far between. Yet every single item he received made his heart pound with excitement that took a long time to settle.
A copy card!
Once used, it could duplicate a single ability from any target and bestow it upon the cardholder.
This could be physical arts, Swordsmanship, Haki, or even a devil fruit ability.
However, there was one condition. The holder had to defeat the intended target to trigger the card's effect.
This presented a problem. For example, if Lius wanted to copy Hawkeye's world's number one Swordsmanship, he would first have to defeat the man to duplicate his technique.
'If I can defeat him, why would I even need to copy his Swordsmanship?'
Lius's head was full of questions after reading the usage instructions.
It was exactly as he thought. Defeating Hawkeye would prove that his own Swordsmanship had already surpassed his opponent's. Would he still need to copy the other party's technique? The answer was no.
Therefore, the pool of viable copy targets seemed rather small.
The abilities he needed, suited him, and offered massive improvements were quite obvious at a glance.
He did not need Haki, and his Swordsmanship was not lacking either. That left devil fruit abilities as the only option.
"The Flame-Flame Fruit?" Lius raised an eyebrow, casting a sidelong glance at Ace standing nearby.
He immediately rejected the idea in the very next moment. The Flame-Flame Fruit packed decent power, but it did not seem like it would elevate his overall strength by much.
'Forget it. Since I am choosing a devil fruit ability, I will set this aside for now and use it later when I encounter a suitable one.'
With this in mind, he held off on extracting the card. He simply stored it away in the system's spatial backpack.
"I will use the Marrow Cleansing Pill once we set sail!" He temporarily pushed the medicinal pills aside as well.
His attention instantly shifted to the final reward. A devil fruit! A mythical type from the Zoan class!
Mythical Zoans were even rarer than Logia type devil fruits! In addition to the enhanced physical constitution typical of the Zoan class, they also granted specific supernatural abilities.
It was no exaggeration to say that every single mythical Zoan user was a highly renowned super expert upon these seas.
Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku was a prime example. He possessed the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha, a mythical Zoan class ability.
The First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco, was another mythical Zoan user with his Phoenix model ability.
Sengoku represented the absolute ceiling of strength on the seas. Meanwhile, Marco stood at the very top of the pyramid as a super expert.
"So what exact model is this mythical Zoan fruit from the system?" Lius held his breath, his heart brimming with anticipation.
However, the information he received left him completely stunned.
"Random? I can only find out its details after using or extracting it?"
In other words, there was no way to determine the exact model of this mythical Zoan fruit until he took it out.
"In that case, I will extract it." Lius did not consume it right away. After all, it would be too late for regrets if the ability proved unsuitable for him. It was better to pull it out first and eat it later if it fit his needs.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully extracting the devil fruit!]]
Right as the notification faded, he noticed a devil fruit materialize out of thin air in his arms.
Information regarding the fruit flowed directly into his mind.
"It can fly?" His face instantly lit up with a pleasant surprise.
But that joy quickly morphed into bitterness once he processed the full details.
It turned out this fruit was truly not meant for him!
