New Function System

"In the end, our goal of coming to this island remains a failure" Buggy could only shake his head.

Currently, the only village on the island has been wiped out so it is not possible to replenish supplies before it gets to the next island.

"Yeah"

If only Buggy who fought might not need to destroy this entire small village.

"Well, get ready to sail, we'll be back to East Blue again and it just so happens that we haven't seen Doctor Crocus on the reverse mountain in a long time"

"Why go to the East Blue? I think we're going all the way to the New World" At this point Galand's voice is heard from behind.

"We will intercept a certain group of pirates who have just robbed an important item from the world government"

While holding the newspaper he got today, Buggy grinned when he saw a bounty poster belonging to a pirate acquaintance of his.

"are we going to take that thing? " Task Galand

In the paper, there is no explanation about the goods that were robbed, but judging from the content of the news should be items that are highly appreciated by the world government.

"No, I just want to meet an old friend and also I intend to challenge that pirate captain"

"The pirate gangs are red-haired, they've recently been quite famous, but often their existence is quite mysterious" Galand said.

Buggy who heard that only nodded, but he was not worried, after all he knew the purpose of the group was next.

Dawn Island, a village called Foosha village which is the royal territory of Goa, the birthplace of the main character, Luffy.

After getting the fruit, Shanks would have been there, at least that's what Buggy thought.

"Alright, Galand you take Arshia to the ship and dress her wound"

"Give me the captain"

Galand then restores the injured arshia to the ship, while Buggy walks towards the corpse of the previous pirate captain.Due to notice from the previous system, Buggy becomes interested in this corpse.

[DING ~The existence of a dead devil fruit eater has been detected]

[Host could choose to absorb the power of that demonic fruit]

[Warning, the power that can be absorbed depends on luck]

[Host could inherit the entire power of the devil fruit through a corpse, or just inherit the characteristics of the fruit power alone]

[Please confirm if the host wants to absorb]

"All right let's absorb it"

Before long, Buggy's head hurt and his ears buzzed making him feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

[The absorption has been completed]

[Congratulations for having gained the ability of the frozen body]

"Well, since it's the first time I've absorbed the power of a demonic fruit, so it should be enough to not absorb it entirely"

Buggy didn't take a headache and went back to the ship.

'What if I absorb too much ability? Will there be any particular risk? '

[Do not worry, with the help of the system, absorption will not harm the host. You can absorb as much ability as possible until you will eventually become the most powerful person in the world]

'then I can calm down, so it seems like I have a new purpose hahahaha'

**************

"Why are you so moody? you don't have to worry, the captain's not a bad-tempered man"

"I've messed up this time, the supply of drinks is only enough for today, while the nearest island takes 3 days to arrive"

"well, a drink is a problem, the captain really likes to drink, but he won't get angry just because of that"

"I've let her down, Arshia's really sorry"

"Don't think about it, oh how far has your training gone? " ask Galand.

"I've been pouring haki into my sword for a week, and there's no sign of success yet" With a wry smile on her pale face, Arshia simply sighed.

"I don't really understand, I'm not a swordsman, after all is the black sword really that strong? " Tanya Galand hesitated.

"I don't know, but the captain shouldn't have lied about something like this"

"Right, after all most swordsmen whether it was East blue or grand line, no one used haki. The word captain haki is only used in the New World"

"well that's right, I feel lucky to have followed the captain and become his men" Galand said.

"Well that's right, oh yeah... What about that body? you can already use that new body as well as it looks"

Two years ago, the three of them went to a strange island in the first half of the grand line. And the island had not been listed on the world map, there were many powerful monsters that should only appear in the new world.

And the body that Galand used was that of one of the strongest monsters on the island.Now, his height was over 3 meters, looking very strong compared to the one he used to be, the body was originally covered in ape fur, but with a suitably sized armor enough to cover the fur.

"Haaah.. unfortunately I still can't use any haki, luckily I was given the devil fruit by the captain"

"Well, the captain has kindly given such a precious treasure to us. So we can't let her down" Arshia said.

"Truly" Galand replied.

"Let's get out, maybe the captain's waiting for us on deck"

"You rest first, you're hurt pretty bad"

"Forget it, I'll see the captain" Arshia insisted.

Galand takes Arshia to the deck of the ship, and when he arrives, he sees Buggy driving the ship alone. At this moment he seemed to be thinking about something until his forehead shrunk.

"Captain" said the two.

Arshia stepped up and said to Buggy

"Captain... I'm sorry, I'm overreacting" with a regretful expression, Arshia lowered her head at Buggy.

"No problem, it's a small thing"

At this moment Galand's screams sounded.

"Captain, there's a naval ship there" pointing, Galand shouted.

"It's just a ship, don't shout like you've never seen a navy" Buggy rolled his eyes when he heard the babbling of his men.

"But this one is different, look! there's a dog head in there! that's not a ship"

Buggy was immediately aghast when he heard that, he saw the direction pointed by Galand. Sure enough there's a navy ship with a dog head in there.

"Vice Admiral, Garp" Buggy's eyes narrowed immediately when he saw the ship.

"What's he doing here? Has the news that we destroyed the island reached the base? It shouldn't be that fast, let alone directly sending such a big fellow just for the little pirate "

Buggy was still confused, until their ship was close together.

"Captain, why didn't we just run away? " The look on Galand's face was full of worry.

"Huh, even if it runs away, will it work? You think it's that easy? In the past our group had gone through many battles, I knew clearly what the old man was like, after all there was still hope that that person did not come after us"

Ever since Buggy and his comrades sailed, the navy never targeted them, even when they had received a bounty. And Buggy knew the reason, that ever since they went to sea, they often fought with pirates and bandits, and often helped the navy. So that the navy when it sees the ship they will go as if it did not meet.

A burly man was sitting near the bow of the ship, looking at them with a strange grin.

"Hahaha, isn't this the boy on the roger ship? " A careless laugh sounded in the sea, yet no one dared to answer that.

"I'm on a mission trip, so I won't bother with you guys. But I still have to do something when I meet a pirate, right? " After saying that he immediately jumped onto Buggy's ship.

"I'll step in, you guys stay here"

Seeing that his two men were about to jump to face the old monster, Buggy stopped them immediately. Neither of them could do anything to that person.

Buggy leaps towards Garp, and he instantly turns his entire arm into an ice crystal and covers it with Busoshoku no haki.

Seeing the boy jump towards him, Garp grinned.

"Even if it's just a boy, it has a bit of courage, as expected of the roger crew"

A few moments later, the two blows met.

BANGS....

A loud explosion and a vacuum zone appeared in the middle of the sea where they were, resulting in a powerful whirlpool. The two ships separated again due to the strong waves.

All the crew on both ships were astonished, how the impact effect of a blow could be so exaggerated.
