Chapter 2: Glint-Glint Fruit Fragments
In Ye Jia's mind, a seven-colored cauldron appeared.
On the outside of the cauldron were patterns of ancient divine beasts like the Dragon, Phoenix, Pixiu, and Taotie. Each relief was lifelike, making the cauldron look incredibly imposing.
"Your Synthesis Cauldron is ready. You can now perform Level 1 authority synthesis!"
The sweet, mechanical female voice rang out again.
"Level 1 authority synthesis?"
Ye Jia was stunned.
"The recipes you can synthesize are: Devil Fruit, Stamina Pill, and Max Stamina Pill. As long as you attack any living object, there is a probability that corresponding recipe fragments will drop!" The sweet mechanical female voice explained, "Once you gather enough recipe fragments, you can immediately perform synthesis and use them!"
"The Synthesis System is essential for your home travel and heroic deeds. Remember to leave a five-star review, dear!"
As long as he attacked living objects, fragments would drop... and fragments could be synthesized into Devil Fruits?
After listening to this, Ye Jia's blood boiled with excitement.
He couldn't care less where this strange Synthesis System came from.
Ye Jia had only one wish right now—to become stronger!
Having inexplicably arrived in the world of One Piece, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't gallop across the seas and exchange blows with the various pirates, Marines, Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors?
Moreover, his favorite character, Luffy, existed in this world. What would be the point of staying in this world if he didn't go see the idol he had liked for so many years with his own eyes?
As soon as the system finished speaking, a skill tree similar to online games suddenly "unfolded" in Ye Jia's mind.
"Synthesis Recipes (Level 1)"
Three icons appeared in reality before Ye Jia.
They were "Devil Fruit," "Stamina Pill," and "Max Stamina Pill."
Ye Jia gently "clicked" on the Devil Fruit icon.
"Devil Fruit Recipe: Gather 100 Devil Fruit fragments to randomly synthesize a Devil Fruit."
Holy crap!
Ye Jia's eyes widened instantly.
100 fragments could synthesize a Devil Fruit?
Wasn't that too overpowered?
But in the world of One Piece, didn't everyone only get to consume one Devil Fruit?
If one ate more, their body would immediately explode, and they would die.
Suddenly, the sweet mechanical female voice rang out again:
"Synthesis System Reminder: Your body structure has been altered and can accommodate Devil Fruit abilities without limit! Thank you for your support of the Synthesis System!"
He hit the jackpot.
To Ye Jia, this sentence was no different from the sound of nature.
But the notification voice wasn't finished yet.
"...Synthesis System Reminder: Since you are using this system for the first time, I am granting you an extra privilege. For any recipe, you only need to gather 10 fragments to synthesize. Effective count: 1. Thank you for using!"
Surprises came one after another.
Not only could he synthesize Devil Fruits and load unlimited Devil Fruit abilities, but the number of fragments required for the first synthesis was also compressed to 10!
This way, wouldn't he soon possess a Devil Fruit and become an ability user?
"Great! Although I don't know if this system is real or fake, it has stayed in my body for a hundred days. Just for that, it's worth a try!"
Ye Jia stared viciously at the group of hooligans who were drinking.
Didn't the system say that attacking living objects had a chance to obtain Devil Fruit fragments?
Weren't these hooligans in front of him the best living objects?
Ye Jia wouldn't waste such a good opportunity placed right before his eyes.
...
"This bar is so lifeless, and the beer is boring. Let's go to the one at the village entrance; it's livelier there. Let's go!"
The hooligans disliked the cold atmosphere and immediately stood up to leave.
"Guests..." Makino wanted to remind them to pay the bill, but seeing the unkind look in the hooligans' eyes, it seemed they had no intention of paying. She could only sigh, shake her head, and dismiss the thought.
But just at this moment, a figure blocked the bar's entrance.
"Hey, you haven't paid yet!" Ye Jia said in a deep voice.
"Kid, are you sleepwalking? Do you know who we are? You dare ask us for money?" Upon hearing this, the hooligans' eyes immediately turned fierce, and the eight of them swarmed up, surrounding Ye Jia.
"Little Jia, hurry! Don't provoke them!" Seeing Ye Jia step forward, Makino's expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly spoke to tell Ye Jia to come back.
"Makino, don't worry! I can hunt large wild boars alone now; I'm not afraid of them!" Ye Jia said.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Ye Jia's words, the hooligans held their bellies and laughed loudly, "You think you're tough just because you killed a wild boar? Truly too naive, too laughable! I haven't met such a fool in a long time!"
"Kid, for the sake of you being a fool, we won't hold it against you today... There's no benefit in dealing with a fool! Hurry up and get out of the way!"
"You're the fool!"
Ye Jia stared fiercely at the hooligan who called him a fool, roared loudly, and then pounced on him!
The hooligan was caught off guard, not expecting Ye Jia to dare to strike first. He was immediately tackled to the ground by Ye Jia, and then Ye Jia's fists rained down on him.
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Glint-Glint Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 'Glint-Glint Fruit' fragment!"
Ye Jia threw about ten punches in a row, and two notification sounds rang in his head.
"Glint-Glint Fruit?! Holy crap, that's a Logia-type Devil Fruit, the ability of Admiral Kizaru! I've hit the jackpot!"
Ye Jia was incredibly excited. He hadn't expected to gather two fragments so quickly, and they were fragments of an Admiral's Logia-type Devil Fruit!
"Wait... If I synthesize the Glint-Glint Fruit, wouldn't there be two Glint-Glint Fruit users in this world in the future?"
At this thought, Ye Jia shook his head, "Who cares! As long as the Glint-Glint Fruit ability really works... besides, no matter how unreasonable it is, is it more unreasonable than the existence of a Synthesis System?"
"Let's beat the Glint-Glint Fruit fragments out of him first!"
Ye Jia was endlessly excited, and his fists sped up.
