One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 211 Preparing to Purchase the King's Legacy

In the vast and mysterious waters of the New World, the Serbian islands shine like a bright pearl, quietly set against the azure sea.

In the center of the island, a massive, magnificent black-purple castle rises from the ground, like an insurmountable fortress, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Inside the castle's main hall, the decorations were luxurious and solemn, with exquisite murals hanging on the walls and a huge crystal chandelier casting a soft yet bright light, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Minos, a powerful figure who was only 22 years old but had already gained a reputation in this sea, was sitting in the hall on a huge chair covered with the leather of rare sea beasts.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the floating system panel in front of him, a mixture of focus and surprise in his gaze. The system panel emitted a faint blue light, and the data on it flickered and changed continuously.

All I saw was…

[Host: Minos]

Age: 22

[Skills: Top-tier Armament Haki, Top-tier Observation Haki, Top-tier Conqueror's Haki, Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, Normal Punch, Consecutive Normal Punches, Sword Techniques (Red Serpent Style 1, Purple Serpent Style 2), Navigator Techniques, Helmsman Techniques.]

[Physical Constitution: Intermediate King-level Physique (Mature Stage)]

[Item: Fifty Great Swords - Dark Soul]

Kill Points: Points

[Realm: Intermediate King Rank (Black Dragon Form: Intermediate King Rank)]

[Evaluation: You have now reached the intermediate King level. You can even hold your own against a peak King level expert for a few moves. However, you should still be careful not to encounter a God level expert, otherwise you will be easily killed by a God level expert in an instant.]

Minos's gaze was fixed on the more than 20 million kill points, and an overwhelming excitement surged in his heart.

He rubbed his eyes, seemingly unable to believe the numbers before him.

"Is...is this really over 20 million kill points? Am I seeing things?" Minos muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

Immediately, he took a deep breath, trying to suppress his excitement, and said to the system panel in front of him, "That system? If I'm not mistaken, this kill value is over 20 million, right?"

Although he tried to keep his voice calm, the slight tremor in his tone betrayed his inner turmoil.

A moment later, the system's cold, mechanical voice rang out in the hall: "Ding, host, you did not misread it, it is indeed more than 20 million kill points."

Upon hearing the system's confirmation, Minos's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

This feeling of suddenly becoming rich overnight left him somewhat bewildered, his heart filled with both surprise and a touch of unease.

He sat up straight in the chair, his hands unconsciously gripping the armrests. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "That system, this kill value is just too much. It's making me a little uneasy, and I feel very lost!"

"Ding, host, please rest assured. Because kill points are too easy to obtain, this system has already raised the price within the system." The system's voice remained calm, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Upon hearing this, Minos's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? You actually changed the price without permission? Don't you know that's against the rules?"

He stood up in anger and roared at the system panel, his voice echoing in the empty hall, filled with boundless rage.

However, the system remained unmoved by Minos's outburst and continued to remain silent.

This made Minos feel as if he had punched a pillow, powerless and unable to vent his anger, which only intensified. "You...you've gone too far!"

Minos was so angry that his face turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly.

After a long while, Minos, his throat dry from cursing, saw that the system still had no response. He sighed helplessly, sat back down in his chair, and said weakly, "System! What are you trying to do?!"

His eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and helplessness, and his once spirited face now looked somewhat haggard.

Just when Minos thought the system wouldn't answer him anymore, the system's voice slowly sounded: "Ding, please don't panic, host. Actually, it doesn't add much. As long as the host starts a killing spree, the killing points will come easily."

Upon hearing the system's nonchalant words, Minos's anger was reignited.

"Easy? You make it sound so simple! Every killing involves a life-or-death battle; it's not as easy as you make it sound!"

He retorted angrily, but quickly realized that arguing with the system was pointless, so he shook his head helplessly, too lazy to argue with the system anymore.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said, "System, take a look and see if Kaido's Mythical Zoan type Azure Dragon Fruit and Yamato's White Wolf Fruit match the items for the arrival of the Destruction King and the Fang King."

Minos's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation. This was a three-year plan of his, concerning his future status and power in this sea area.

"Ding, it should be possible in theory. Let me check it out first." The system's voice sounded, then fell silent.

Upon hearing the system's words, Minos immediately said, "System, go check it out quickly! I can't wait!"

He fidgeted in his chair, his eyes filled with anxiety and longing, glancing up at the system panel every now and then, hoping for a response from the system.

Finally, after Minos's long wait, the system's voice slowly sounded: "Ding, according to the host's request, I have found it in the system store. However, the price is a little expensive."

“Hmm!” Minos frowned. He already had a feeling the price wouldn’t be cheap, but at this moment he was determined to complete the plan no matter what.

“Tongzi, you can just give me a price quote,” he said firmly.

"Ding, if the host wishes to exchange the Azure Dragon Fruit of the Mythical Beast type for the inheritance of the Destruction King Dragon Emperor, 600 million Kill Points are required."

"Ding! Exchanging the Great Mouth True God Fruit of the Mythical Beast species for the Fang King's inheritance only requires 400 million Kill Points."

Upon hearing the system's words, Minos gasped in surprise.

"This...this is really expensive!" he muttered to himself, recalling how he had only spent tens of thousands of kill points when he summoned Cheng Xiaoyu.

"Now it actually costs millions of kill points to exchange for a king, the difference is too great." Minos thought to himself, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

But soon, he gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Chief, this time when the king descended, were they at their peak? If not, then this is too much of a rip-off!"

Minos's eyes were filled with vigilance. He didn't want to be tricked by the system, after all, this was a plan he had paid a huge price for.
