A light screen appeared.
newbie iron sword Lv.1 (White): A newbie weapon produced by the Reincarnation Game. Equipping it grants +1 to sword qi.
Tip: contract fruit holders can temporarily activate the player template.
Dracule Mihawk
Level: 1 (1/50 experience)

Equipment: newbie iron sword
Skills: Pirate World Swordsmanship Lv.19, Observation Haki Lv.19…
Tip: A normal human male in the Pirate World has a base physique of [3].
"Could it be a user of the Illusion Fruit?"
Krieg looked at the suddenly appearing light screen. Although his expression was solemn, he was not flustered.
No matter how bizarre a Devil Fruit ability was, or how developed it was, it would still be countered by stronger Haki. This was an iron rule of the Pirate World.
And he, coincidentally, was an existence who had mastered top-tier Haki.
"Very crude workmanship…"
Krieg narrowed his eyes, examining the newbie iron sword in his hand.
He had encountered countless swords before. Those considered famous swords were all masterpieces crafted by master artisans who had expended immense effort and collected precious ores.
A mass-produced item like this, seemingly made by an apprentice craftsman, didn't even qualify to be swung by him.
Suddenly…
Krieg noticed something was off.
His expression was solemn as he gripped the crude newbie iron sword and then swung it.
Another massive slash tore through the waves.
This time, the wielder did not aim for a target, so the tattered fleet of the Krieg Pirates merely swayed, being pushed dozens of meters away by the waves.
"My slash got stronger?"
Krieg was surprised and doubtful. The force of his swing hadn't changed, and his Haki couldn't have suddenly increased, yet the slash had indeed become stronger.
Although it was very slight, it couldn't escape the perception of a Great Swordsman like him.
Sword qi +1…
Krieg's gaze fell on the light screen, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Until now,
He still didn't believe in the so-called Reincarnation Game that could grant any wish. He only regarded it as a very unique and rare Devil Fruit ability.
It had to be said, this contract fruit and the mysterious person behind it were very attractive.
Contract Mission (2/5)
Mission Content: Destroy five ships of the Krieg Pirates.
Mission Reward: Claymore Mastery Lv.1 (White)
For Krieg, the Contract Mission was extremely easy, practically without difficulty.
Boom.
A sweeping horizontal slash, like a crescent moon, tore through the bellies of five large ships, sending countless members of the Krieg Pirates tumbling into the water like dumplings.
Mission Complete, Reward Issued
There was still no fluctuation of aura.
Especially since Krieg had prepared beforehand, having activated his Observation Haki to its full extent.
A strange memory suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was a very special technique.
Claymore Mastery Lv.1 (White): A Claymore technique researched for many years by the Claymore users of the Arad continent, capable of increasing the physical and magical attack power of the Claymore wielder.
Upgrade Condition: 50 proficiency, 50 skill experience
The Arad continent possessed extremely refined weapon techniques. Whether it was fist fighters or gunners, they were all existences who had honed their skills to their peak.
Especially the legendary Four Sword Saints, who inspired countless Adventurers to become swordsmen.
This technique came from Agamzo, one of the Four Sword Saints, and his understanding and insight into the Claymore.
"Such a special technique…"
Krieg frowned slightly, initially puzzled. After completely digesting this weapon technique, his confusion turned into admiration.
There were no complicated moves, just the purest Claymore techniques.
It was like an instinctive technique realized by someone who had wielded a Claymore through countless battles.
Yet, it was fundamentally different from the swordsmanship techniques of the Pirate World.
For the swordsmen of the Pirate World,
Physique and spirit were core!
Physique meant powerful force and speed beyond ordinary people, capable of unleashing stronger and more powerful slashes.
Spirit symbolized will and Haki, which, when infused into a slash, could cleave steel, rocks, and all things.
Technique was merely icing on the cake,
Prioritizing the release of slashes and repelling enemies in the optimal posture.
However, the memory in his mind related to [Claymore Mastery Lv.1] was a different, peculiar technique, capable of maximizing the weapon's advantages through continuous refinement and adjustment.
The Pirate World focused on physique, with technique as secondary.
Arad swordsmen, on the other hand, focused on techniques that maximized the weapon's potential, with the body as secondary.
Although,
The techniques that [Claymore Mastery Lv.1] could transmit were not complex or profound, merely the most basic uses of a Claymore.
Yet, it gave Krieg a wondrous feeling, as if opening a New World.
Krieg took a deep breath, digesting the memories in his mind, and muttered, "Who is it, after all? It's impossible for mere Devil Fruit ability to possess such an understanding of swordsmanship."
He looked at the subsequent missions.
Contract Mission (3/5)
Mission Content: Defeat Krieg Pirates crew members (0/50)
Mission Reward: Claymore Mastery (50 proficiency, 50 skill experience)
"A worthless pirate crew, it seems… still has some use."
Krieg's lips curled into a slight smile. To show his acknowledgment of the pirate crew's value, he drew the Black Blade from his back.
One strike.
Countless pirates wailed.
The wind-riding slash, carrying a sharp gale, tore through the air and struck the chaotic fleet. Even the main ship Krieg was on was shattered into pieces.
This also completed the subsequent two Contract Missions: destroying the Krieg Pirates' main ship and defeating Krieg.
Mission Complete, Reward Issued
The rewards for defeating the pirate crew and destroying the main ship directly upgraded [Claymore Mastery] to [Lv.3].
Krieg was experiencing increasingly refined Claymore techniques, growing more curious about the mysterious person hidden behind the scenes.
The last reward, for defeating Krieg, was a strange stone.
Whetstone (White): Can sharpen bladed weapons. Success grants +1 sharpness.
Krieg held a suddenly appearing whetstone, just like the coarse whetstones seen on the shelves of a shoddy blacksmith's shop.
However,
Thinking of the newbie iron sword earlier, a glimmer of anticipation still rose in his heart.
Following the usage method prompted by the light screen, he pressed the whetstone against his weapon, the Black Blade.
Identification: [Black Blade Night] is a Lv.10 purple quality weapon. Cannot use [Whetstone (White)].
Although he wasn't entirely clear on the Reincarnation Game's equipment grading, Krieg could understand the meaning of the text: the Black Blade's quality was too high, and this whetstone couldn't improve its sharpness.
Then…
The small knife in his pendant.
Consumption of [Whetstone (White)] successful. Weapon sharpness +1.
"It actually… worked."
Although the small knife he carried with him couldn't compare to a famous sword, it was still a rare sharp weapon, which Krieg had specially commissioned a master artisan capable of forging famous swords to create.
An ordinary blacksmith, even with the highest quality whetstone, wouldn't be able to further sharpen it; instead, they would damage the original master craftsmanship.
Krieg, who was very familiar with the pendant knife, was absolutely certain that the blade of this pendant knife had become even sharper.
Screech.
The pendant knife cut through the edges of the coffin boat, and he felt the sudden increase in its smoothness.
For the first time, Krieg's mental state experienced emotional fluctuations that he himself could not control.
Player has successfully completed the Contract, obtaining Reincarnation Game Player status and the opportunity to purchase game items in the Game House. Do you wish to enter?
Krieg pressed his palm against his chest, feeling his heart pounding violently due to the emotional fluctuations.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing.
A weapon that could strengthen slashes, an unconventional Claymore technique, and a whetstone.
All these magical items seemed to attest to the reality of the Reincarnation Game.
"Then let me see who this mysterious person is, who spread these contracts!"
