In One Piece With Cheat Codes

First Lottery

A few days later, at the Marine base.

"This is the famous bounty hunter in town, isn't it? I heard he really hates pirates!" One of the Marine soldiers watched Ryu drag a bounty criminal into the base like a dead fish and couldn't help but whisper to his companion.

His companion nodded, somewhat wary, and pulled him away, seemingly not wanting to interact with Ryu. In recent days, during their missions, if they encountered Ryu, he would beat them up along with the pirates, though he never harmed them seriously. This made the Marine soldiers keep their distance from Ryu.

"Where's that kid Ace? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Ryu sat in a tavern, sipping on his barley wine, talking to himself.

During his stay in Loguetown, he had defeated several pirate crews, completely vanquishing their members, so Ryu had gained a bit of fame as a bounty hunter.

"Forget it; I might as well find some opponents to grind for experience!" Ever since his battle with Garp and the aloof swordsman under him, Ryu had become even more obsessed with improving his strength. He didn't spare the Marines either, treating them as experience points.

On the very day he arrived in Loguetown, he had captured a pirate with a bounty of three million, successfully claiming the diamonds and earning a considerable amount of berries for his expenses.

Having gathered a thousand diamonds, Ryu didn't rush to draw his prize. Instead, he found an inn, took a bath, changed his clothes, and after a sincere prayer, he opened the system to start the lottery.

Although deep down he thought this was all a formality that wouldn't affect the results, he couldn't help but do it, having staked all his savings.

The lottery wasn't a spinning wheel; instead, he spent a thousand diamonds to buy a fortune bag. The moment he opened the bag would determine whether those thousand diamonds were worth it.

So when Ryu opened the fortune bag, he felt a strange mix of excitement, worry, and anticipation—very peculiar emotions all at once.

"Obtained a mid-level Cultivation manual!"

The system's prompt nearly made Ryu's heart leap out of his chest. He looked at the book-shaped manual in his backpack, which read, "Open to obtain any mid-level Cultivation manual."

"Whew~ I hit the jackpot! Everyone said that the first lottery would definitely yield good stuff to entice people, making it hard to resist and quickly fleecing them!" Ryu quickly found the corresponding item in the shop.

Although there wasn't anything that allowed random acquisition of a mid-level manual, the cheapest mid-level manuals in the shop cost several thousand diamonds, especially the techniques manuals, which were worth over ten thousand!

With his mouth watering, Ryu couldn't wait to open the manual. The system prompt chimed in again:

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained the mid-level internal cultivation manual: Purple Mist Divine Skill."

"Wow, oh my!" Ryu was so excited that he didn't know how to express his feelings. He gazed at the beautifully illustrated manual, initially wishing to compose poetry to share his journey, but found himself lacking in literary skill, simply muttering a line about the world.

However, when Ryu opened the manual to use it, the system indicated that he lacked the prerequisite meditation skill to practice it.

At that moment, Ryu was completely dumbfounded. Did he really need to practice a meditation skill to learn the Purple Mist Divine Skill?

After closely examining the Purple Mist Divine Skill, Ryu discovered that the Cultivation Manuals was divided into three levels: basic, intermediate, and advanced. The Purple Mist Divine Skill was a mid-level manual, meaning he needed to learn an intermediate level meditation skill before he could practice it.
