Even Rocks called me brother - Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Cheat Arrival
Sea Circle Calendar, end of 1483.
At this time, there are still about three months until the Battle of God Valley, the world-class war with the largest scale of powerful warriors in the entire Pirates world.
A few days ago.
On an unknown island within the Grand Line.
A young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a well-proportioned figure and a resolute face, was sitting on the beach with red eyes and a trembling body.
Looking at the wet and salty waves hitting the fine sand at the beach.
“Why! Why on earth? I finally traveled to a new world where I can have family affection, why do you treat me like this!!! Damn Celestial Dragons!!!”
“If one day I gain the power to rule the world… you will all die, not a single one will survive, all of you go to hell!!!”
This young man named Luo Hou was originally a veteran Pirates comics fan from Earth.
More than ten years ago, Luo Hou had just finished his coming-of-age ceremony in an orphanage. On his first day in society, a speeding Dongfeng Dayun crossed the Madara crossing and fell into his arms.
At that moment, Luo Hou didn’t even feel the pain, and he felt the light again.
Then he was reborn into an ordinary family in the Pirates world.
And the era in which he was reborn was the Rocks era before the beginning of the Great Pirates era!
In this age where emperors are everywhere and admirals are worse than dogs, Luo Hou deeply feels the importance of strength.
Therefore, after he grew up, in addition to helping his father and mother go fishing at sea on a daily basis, he also trained his physical fitness very hard.
In order to gain greater power!
However, the gap in talent between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs.
Luo Hou has obviously been working out very hard.
But apart from the obvious strength gains in the first few months, there was basically no significant improvement afterwards.
However, Luo Hou did not fall into depression because of this, but instead increased the intensity of his training.
And he keeps lookout at sea every day, hoping that a Devil Fruit will fall from the sky and land in his hands.
But, unfortunately, all this is just a fantasy after all.
He did not become a truly strong man.
There is also no ability to obtain Devil Fruit.
He is just an ordinary person in the Pirates world, just like everyone else.
Fortunately, his new family was able to maintain a life above the poverty line through continuous hard work.
Overall, I’m not very rich, but I’m doing okay.
But just four days ago, this ordinary yet warm life came to an end.
Luo Hou’s family, who had just returned from fishing, encountered several Celestial Dragons who came to the island to play a game of hunting lower beings while packing up their remaining catch on their way home.
Celestial Dragons are the absolute nobility in this world. In this group, everyone looks at others with an inferior gaze.
In the eyes of Celestial Dragons, the lives of ordinary people are not as valuable as the puppies they keep in their rooms.
Even breathing the same air with these low-class untouchables made them feel greatly insulted.
According to the conversations between the Celestial Dragons who came to the island, Luo Hou learned that they were preparing for the upcoming God Valley hunting game.
Just to improve his shooting skills, he came directly to the island and shot and killed ordinary civilians.
How can such behavior be called cruel?
As soon as Luo Hou’s parents discovered the Celestial Dragons shooting indiscriminately, they grabbed his wrist and wanted to take Luo Hou away from the island immediately.
But before the three of them could run a few steps away, the golden pistol in Celestial Dragons’ hand had already sprayed out hot bullets, and then almost instantly tore the throat of Luo Hou’s father, bringing out a pool of warm blood.
Before his father died, Luo Hou vaguely heard his father admonishing him not to be impulsive and to take his mother away from the island immediately.
However, Luo Hou had no time to feel sad when the family affection he had worked so hard to obtain was gone so quietly. Celestial Dragons’ bullets shot through him and his mother again.
However, seeing this warm family of three dying so easily in their hands, several Celestial Dragons just laughed disdainfully as if nothing had happened, mocking the fragility of their prey.
It was not until a few days had passed that Luo Hou’s blurry eyes slowly opened.
He found out that he survived.
The reason was that the Celestial Dragons’ bullet pierced his right chest, and his heart grew on the left side, which was different from that of ordinary people.
Luo Hou, who had just regained consciousness, immediately lifted the bed sheet and wanted to go over to look for news about his parents.
But when he saw the names of his parents on the bodies that had been covered with white cloths by the surviving villagers, Luo Hou couldn’t help but tremble all over.
This is so painful!
The premise is that he has never experienced the warmth from family love.
Now they finally have a happy family, but it is completely destroyed again because of the Celestial Dragons.
“Don’t be sad, kid. They are the world’s nobles. We commoners have no way to deal with them…”
“Pull yourself together, life has to go on… You are already an adult, you need to learn to be strong.”
The elderly village chief patted Luo Hou on the shoulder and gave him an earnest warning.
The village chief really doesn’t want such a young man to be completely depraved because of this incident.
However, Luo Hou did not take the village chief’s words to heart at all. Instead, he buried his parents’ bodies under the big tree in front of his house with an expressionless face and began to pack up his things as if he was going on a long journey.
“All of this is because of those damn Celestial Dragons!”
“What the hell are you talking about world nobility? One day, I will twist all of your heads off and smash them into pieces!”
“No one can stop me! From today on, I don’t care about right or wrong. Whoever dares to stand in my way will die!”
Luo Hou’s eyes were filled with ultimate murderous intent. At this moment, his hatred towards the Celestial Dragons had reached an ultimate level.
Even though he currently has no power to touch the Celestial Dragons living on the Red Line.
However, he has decided to go out to sea to find the Devil Fruit, which is known as the secret treasure of the sea, to increase his strength.
This is a good thing, one day in the future I can kill Celestial Dragons and avenge my parents!
After calming himself down, Luo Hou loaded his packed bag, untied the small fishing boat that his family used to make a living, and began his journey out to sea towards the surging waves.
At this moment, a series of ding-dong system prompt sounds suddenly rang in Luo Hou’s mind.
[Ding~ Successfully absorbed Ultimate’s killing intent! Congratulations to the Host for awakening the advanced stage Conqueror’s Haki! The attribute absorption system is officially activated! ]
Luo Hou, who was sitting in a small fishing boat observing the sea chart, suddenly became calm when he heard the system’s prompt and felt the violent power that suddenly surged into his mind.
As a veteran fan of Pirates comics, Luo Hou also has some understanding of the system texts in the Pirates novel world.
Judging from fast-paced novels like Pirates, as long as the system is activated, it will definitely be a cool and exciting system.
As long as one has this kind of cheat, even an ordinary person can quickly enhance his or her strength in a very short period of time and reach the highest level of power in the world.
In other words, at this moment, Luo Hou felt that his chance to take revenge had come.
“Please introduce your basic functions, Tongzi brother~”
After forcibly suppressing his inner emotions, Luo Hou quickly checked the basic functions of Cheat.
[Ding~ The attribute absorption system can help the Host absorb other people’s attributes, swordsmanship, physical skills, fruit abilities and other strength-enhancing substances in daily life or battle! And the stronger the enemy’s strength, the higher the attribute the Host can absorb! 】
“Can you absorb the attribute power of others?”
“Then if I go straight to Rocks D. Xebec, the current overlord of the sea, wouldn’t I be able to become the strongest in the world?”
Luo Hou browsed the system’s function introduction with excitement. At the moment when the system was activated, his murderous intent became even stronger!
