One Piece: Rising to Power as a Warlord of the Sea

Five days later, in the Sea of Chaos.

As Natsu looked at the treasure-filled warehouse, a thrilled smile spread across his face. As expected, this was the fortune of the Happo Treasure Navy—rich enough to rival an entire nation. But now, it was all his.

"System, start the recovery! I want to spin the wheel!"

"Beep, recovery started. Converting points..."

"Congratulations, host, you have received 500,000 points!"

"500,000 points! :ஐ٩(๑´ᵕ`)۶ஐ:!" Natsu double-checked the info, confirming it wasn't a mistake.

"I want to spin the wheel! System, let's go for thirty consecutive draws!"

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have won 100 rifles *8."

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have drawn a 'Thank You for Your Patronage' card *5."

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have won ten Italian cannons *6."

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have won a Skill Enhancement card *5."

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have won a 'Thank You for Your Patronage' card *4."

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have won a Tiger and Dragon Pill!"

"Beep, congratulations, host! You have obtained an Animal-type Black Bear Devil Fruit!"

Seeing the prizes, Natsu's face darkened. This was terrible luck—how could he get such bad draws? No more for now; maybe in a few days.

Better to check the system shop refresh.

"Devil Fruits, Fast Blades, Skill Enhancement Cards, Enlightenment Cards..."

The Enlightenment Cards were his first purchase—five of them. They were a good investment, speeding up cultivation and greatly enhancing Haki training.

Nothing else worth buying, Natsu thought as he scanned the shop.

"Hey, what's this? A Devil Fruit Fusion Card!"

"Devil Fruit Fusion Card: When used, it grants an item a Devil Fruit ability, with a 100% success rate!"

Perfect, I'll take it! I was thinking of letting Eirin use the Transparent Fruit and the Silent Fruit together. It's a perfect match.

Though it was a bit expensive, costing 50,000 points, Natsu decided it was worth it. After all, he still needed to strengthen the Smile Pirates' power.

"Super Electromagnetic Cannon blueprint?"

Flipping through the shop further, Natsu found another good item—a Super Electromagnetic Cannon. It came with auto-aim functionality, with a range of ten nautical miles, powerful enough to destroy a warship in a single shot.

Natsu bought four—one for each of the four corners of the Junyu Pavilion. Imagine this: if anyone tried to attack the Sea of Chaos, they wouldn't even see the pavilion before being hit by a terrifying cannonball from ten miles away. It sounded exciting.

After confirming there were no other purchases to make, Natsu closed the system and walked out of his room to find the others.

"Eirin, come here, I've got something good for you!"

"I'm coming, Natsu! What's the good thing?" Eirin excitedly ran over, knowing Natsu's invitation meant something special.

"Here, two Devil Fruits. One is the Silent Fruit, the other is the Transparent Fruit. My suggestion is that you eat the Transparent Fruit and let this Golden Barrett gain the Silent Fruit ability," Natsu said, almost drooling at the thought. This way, the sniper's advantage would be fully amplified.

Just think about it—a sniper who can completely disappear and still make a perfect shot from a hidden spot. Scary, right?

"I trust you, Natsu!" Eirin eagerly agreed, knowing Natsu's advice was for his benefit. Eirin had been working hard in training, but compared to the likes of Enel, Kumo, or Gin, his strength was still lacking.

To avoid holding back the Smile Pirates and to become stronger, gaining a Devil Fruit ability was the simplest and most direct method.

"But I'll remind you again—Devil Fruits are just a supplementary tool. You can't stop cultivating Haki, because no matter how accurate the attack is, if it can't break through defenses, it's useless."

"Got it, Natsu!" Eirin nodded seriously, understanding that everything Natsu did was for his good.

"Ugh, it really tastes terrible~ It's like something from a toilet..."

Eirin picked up the Transparent Fruit, looked at it, and thought it was just a weird-looking fruit. He took a big bite, and instantly, a strange taste flooded his senses, making him feel nauseous.

"Hehe, does it taste the same as a pile of poop?" Kumo suddenly appeared beside Eirin, smiling happily at his miserable expression. Kumo had tried it before—what a brutal experience. That taste, he never wanted to go through it again.

"Cough, ugh~ Don't say it! Now I can't forget!" Eirin shot Kumo a resentful look. His eyes were filled with the desire to strangle the panda.

"I was just kidding!" Kumo waved her hands hurriedly as Eirin disappeared into transparency. Though the Observation Haki could predict his location roughly, it wasn't foolproof, and he couldn't use it for defense against surprise attacks all the time.

"Alright, enough messing around! Focus!" Natsu raised his hand to stop them. Then, he grabbed the Golden Barrett and inserted the gun barrel into the Devil Fruit, using the Fusion Card.

"???"

Eirin and Kumo were both confused. What was Natsu doing?

"Beep, Fusion Card in use, Devil Fruit fusion in progress... Ding, fusion successful!"

"Alright, now you just need to get familiar with it and start using it. Make sure to protect your gun!"

"Mm-hmm, thanks, Natsu! Hehehe!" Eirin's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Captain Natsu! The Big Mom Pirates are approaching our territory! They say we've crossed into their territory!" Noriyuki rushed in, panicked, and trembling with fear.

After all, this was one of the Four Emperors' pirate groups—an incredibly powerful faction. A small mistake could lead to an all-out war, potentially bringing disaster to them.

"The Four Emperors?"

Natsu didn't speak immediately. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go himself. Now was not the time to back down. If he handled this well, the Smile Pirates would solidify their position in the pirate world.

"I'm going too. I want to try something out!" Eirin raised his Barrett, lovingly caressing it like it was his most precious possession.

"Mm, fine, let's go together!"

Natsu quickly ordered all the divisions to head out and greet the arrival of the Sea Emperor, the Big Mom Pirates.

They sailed out in full force, and what greeted them was a group of fierce-looking individuals, all waiting for 

Natsu's arrival.

"Kukukuku! Monkey D. Natsu, you're quite the terrifying young man!" Charlotte Perospero said, his eyes filled with shock at seeing how young Natsu was.
