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

"System, time for a draw!"

Natsu thought in his mind, and the system panel appeared in his consciousness. He immediately began the draw, seeing the familiar lottery machine.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a skill upgrade card x1."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a teleportation anchor point x5."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an animal-type devil fruit, the Wild Bull Form x1."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained firearms x1000."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained an animal-type devil fruit, Northeast Tiger Form."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 1 million Berries."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a set of ultra-tech medical equipment!"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special weapon: Heavenly Demon Lute."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained Vitality Pill x5."

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a floating electromagnetic warship!"

After 60 consecutive draws, natsu went through a whirlwind of emotions: happiness, helplessness, excitement, and even some frustration. Although it wasn't perfect, he was still very happy with the rewards.

Especially since there were many items that Karina and the others needed. After all, relative to others, these crew members were still too weak. To build a formidable pirate crew, each member needed to be strong.

There was no doubt that the ultra-tech medical equipment would be handed over to Hiro. In Natsu's eyes, Hiro had become more than just a medic; the members of the Smile Pirates even privately referred to him as 'Little Vegapunk'!

As for the medical team led by Hiro, they naturally became the medical corps. Though their combat power wasn't the strongest, within the Smile Pirates, they were highly respected. After all, who doesn't get injured from time to time?

The Heavenly Demon Lute was given to Karina, since she was the only one in the Smile Pirates skilled in music. The lute would enhance her Qingluan Devil Fruit abilities.

Natsu gave the Vitality Pills to Noriyuki, believing his speed and strength were lacking. After all, if any member of the Smile Pirates fell into the sea, someone had to be able to retrieve them quickly. A weak member wouldn't do. With the five pills, Natsu was confident Noriyuki would undergo a transformation.

At the very least, he could become the next Fisher Tiger. Natsu had never doubted the value of system rewards; they were always worth it.

With the crew's rewards handed out, Natsu used all the skill cards on the newly obtained Gravity Fist and Flight Art.

As for the outdated "Azure Sky Wings," Natsu gave them to Kumo, who had long yearned for flight. With the newly acquired items, Kumo excitedly flew around the Qunyu Pavilion for three hours straight.

"Yoo-hoo, I can fly now! Hahahahaha!"

Kumo's excited laughter echoed in the sky, disturbing Enel, who was meditating. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck Kumo down.

"Hey, Enel, what's the deal with you? Do you want to fight?"

Kumo, who had fallen from the sky, angrily glared at Enel's room, shaking his fist and breaking down the door. He threw a punch that sent Enel flying hundreds of meters.

The two constant bickerers once again clashed, with dark clouds gathering in the sky and golden lightning flashing. Kumo, surrounded by Yin and Yang energy, was completely unfazed by Enel's powerful thunder attack.

"Ah, every day, can't you just be quiet for once?" Karina sighed, walking out of her room. She looked up at the sky helplessly. "Well, I'll go for a walk downstairs. I hear there are new items from other islands."

On Smile Island, Natsu was quietly observing the island's people. Under Natsu's influence, Smile Island had established many civilized and harmonious rules.

Fighting conflicts were forbidden on the island. Those who violated the rules were immediately expelled by the guards, and anyone resisting would be killed or thrown into the island's internal prison.

Every store posted the 24-character slogan for peace and freedom, and after many examples were made, Smile Island now had a peaceful and happy atmosphere. The smiles of every person were genuinely joyful.

Everything was progressing according to Natsu's plan. Moreover, under Gin's leadership, nearby islands began to imitate Smile Island's policies. The once despairing people, ruled by pirates, found that Smile Pirates were truly different. They not only spoke of peace but also implemented it.

Now, on many islands, the citizens no longer resisted the Smile Pirates' rule. In fact, they found it quite pleasant, as there were almost no pirate raids on the islands.

As for the occasional pirates who dared to attack, they were all buried along the coastline, with a large sign reading "Grave of [Pirate Group]" and Smile Pirates' regulations posted next to it.

In a short period, Smile Pirates' reputation among the islands' populations soared, and their public opinion grew increasingly favorable.

While Natsu was enjoying himself, Gin quietly appeared behind him.

"Captain, I've got news about the Flying Sky Pirate Crew!"

"The Flying Sky Pirate Crew? Gold Lion Shiki, where?" Natsu immediately stopped what he was doing, his face lighting up with excitement.

"North of the New World. A recently conquered pirate crew was attacked by the Flying Sky Pirate Crew. However, it seems that Gold Lion's target was not them, so they escaped unharmed."

"Got it. Keep following them. I really want to see how strong this legendary old pirate is!" Natsu clenched his fists. After all, Gold Lion Shiki's bounty was comparable to that of Roger. If they could hunt him down, the Smile Pirates would earn a massive bounty from the Navy, further strengthening their power.

In a certain area of the Grand Line, above the floating island "STRONGWORLD," a man with golden hair and a ship's wheel on his head was observing the fierce battle between massive beasts below.

"Haha, keep fighting! Fight for the best beast! Let's bring some excitement to this calm sea and show these sheltered flowers what true pirates are capable of!"

"Indigo, how much longer until we can fully control the evolution of these beasts?"

"About three more years, Captain Shiki."

"Haha, three years! I can wait that long. Roger, since I couldn't defeat you, I'll make the East Blue tremble!"

Gold Lion Shiki's eyes were fixed on the silhouette of Pirate King Roger, the man he had longed to defeat.

A legendary figure hidden in the sky for seventeen years was preparing to unleash a devastating blow to the world, aiming to destroy all the islands in the East Blue by releasing animals turned violent by consuming ingredient plants.

It was a terrifying, vengeful plan to destroy the world.
