One Piece: Rise of the Synthesis Pirate

After Ye Jia dealt with the thugs, Windmill Village returned to its usual peace.

Ye Jia's fame had spread after this battle.

From then on, whenever the villagers saw Ye Jia, they greeted him warmly. Villagers who had taken revenge on the thugs even came to thank him.

Behind Windmill Village was the Golbo Mountain, filled with wild beasts. Hunters frequently ventured there but had to be cautious; one wrong move, and they could easily become a wild animal's meal.

"First technique, Laser Beam!"

Ye Jia began his training, attempting to gather power at his fingertip, making a "pistol" gesture with his hand, and then releasing it.

Zzzzz—

As soon as the power was activated, yellow flashes appeared, as if being absorbed into Ye Jia's fingertip.

"Fire!"

With a flick of his finger, a yellow beam shot out!

However, as this was his first attempt, he hadn't quite mastered it. The laser beam only penetrated a tree before disappearing, not traveling as far as seen in animations.

"First time and it can penetrate a tree... the power... the Logia-type Devil Fruit really is powerful!"

Though the power was surprising, Ye Jia felt it was already quite impressive.

He continued training, and with each attempt, the power of the laser beam grew, until it could shoot 10 meters and penetrate two trees.

"I'm exhausted."

The power of the Logia-type Devil Fruit was indeed strong, but it consumed a lot of stamina.

After using the Laser Beam less than ten times, Ye Jia was sweating and feeling a bit weak.

"No wonder those Devil Fruit users, even though their powers increase, still have to train their bodies. Looks like it's all to withstand the stamina drain."

Since others were training, Ye Jia trained too.

Moreover, he needed to attack living creatures to obtain fragments.

At the moment, he was too weak. It would be best to collect more Strength Pill fragments so that he wouldn't have to worry about running out of stamina during fights.

Ye Jia set off across the mountain, searching for wild beasts.

In the past, he would avoid them, only confronting stray ones like wild boars. But now, with the Glint-Glint Fruit's power, he eagerly awaited more beasts... After all, he just needed to raise his finger and quickly "fire" a shot—the Laser Beam could easily deal with them!

"Found one!"

Not long into his search, Ye Jia encountered a dinosaur charging through the jungle.

The dinosaur was at least 8 meters tall, and the ground trembled as it ran. Its massive body could easily snap trees with a single collision.

"Perfect, you're the one!"

Ye Jia aimed at the dinosaur and a yellow glow appeared at his fingertip.

In the next second, Ye Jia raised his hand.

Shoo!

The Laser Beam shot out, piercing through the dinosaur's back and grazing its chest!

"Haha, a big target like a dinosaur is easy to hit. If it were another beast, I probably wouldn't have hit!"

Ye Jia, who wasn't used to firearms, didn't have much accuracy, but the dinosaur's size made it easy.

Boom!

The dinosaur, hit by the Laser Beam, developed a blood hole in its chest and fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"I knew it, wild beasts have tough lives; they're not that easy to kill!"

Although the dinosaur had fallen, Ye Jia noticed it wasn't dead yet and was struggling to rise.

"I need to attack living creatures to get fragments. If you die, where am I going to collect fragments?"

Ye Jia jumped onto the dinosaur and began punching it mercilessly.

The dinosaur roared in pain and tried to stand up to shake Ye Jia off, but the Laser Beam had damaged its lungs, causing it extreme pain and preventing it from using its full strength.

On top of that, Ye Jia's relentless punches kept hitting it, and the dinosaur could only wail in agony.

"Wait? My strength seems to have increased! The world of One Piece really is different. I've only been here for three months, and my physique has become so much stronger. That's something I could never do on Earth. And I'm just starting to train my abilities. It seems that as long as I keep training, I can keep getting stronger!"

Excited by this realization, Ye Jia continued beating the dinosaur.

In the One Piece world, many powerful people hadn't eaten a Devil Fruit, but had relied solely on their training to grow stronger, like Red-Haired Shanks and Mihawk.

This showed that in the One Piece world, physical strength could grow at an incredibly fast rate. On Earth, people like Shanks and Mihawk would be impossible.

"Congratulations, you have obtained a Strength Pill Fragment!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained a Strength Pill Fragment!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained a Strength Pill Fragment!"

"..."

Ye Jia kept beating the dinosaur, and the prompts in his head would sound off every dozen punches or so.

By the time Ye Jia had beaten the dinosaur to death, he had collected quite a few Strength Pill fragments.

"Dead? That's boring!"

Looking at the dinosaur's body, Ye Jia checked the fragments in his head.

"Strength Pill: Restores stamina (42/30)"

"I can synthesize a Strength Pill now! Quick, system, give me the synthesis!"

Ye Jia gave the command, and the lid of the colorful furnace opened with a loud bang!

Thirty Strength Pill fragments were placed in the massive furnace, and the progress bar ran quickly.

About five seconds later.

"Congratulations, you have successfully synthesized a 'Strength Pill'!"

The furnace lid flew off, and a steaming Strength Pill appeared.

It had a dark gold appearance, looking a lot like the Six Flavor Rehmannia Pill, with no appealing features at all.

"Perfect. The battle with that dinosaur took a lot out of me, so let's try this out!"

Ye Jia immediately used the Strength Pill.

It disappeared, and Ye Jia felt a surge of heat rise in his body. His soreness and fatigue disappeared, and his strength was replenished. He felt like he had just woken from a refreshing sleep, full of energy!

"Let's try it out!"

Ye Jia raised his hand, and a Laser Beam shot out, easily piercing through two trees. When it hit the third tree, it exploded, and the tree was split in half!

"Wow! This Strength Pill is amazing! Hahaha!"

Ye Jia was overjoyed.
