Chương 115: Lottery Rewards

"Well then, Shopkeeper, I won't take up any more of your time. I'll visit again soon. Goodbye!" Hope said, her tone was polite but tinged with satisfaction.

"Goodbye, Hope!" Rosh replied warmly, watching her leave with the Chase-Chase Fruit securely in her possession. True to her efficient nature, Hope didn't linger in the Home of the Devil Fruits. A few cordial words, and she was gone, disappearing into the bustling world beyond the shop's doors. Rosh, however, had no intention of letting the moment slip by without indulging in his own excitement. The moment the transaction was complete, a familiar chime echoed in his mind—a notification from his system.

A satisfied smile crept onto Rosh's face. The next phase of his sales task had officially been completed, and with it came a wave of new opportunities and rewards. [Congratulations, Host! You've successfully sold 10 Devil Fruits and completed the sales task!] The vibrant message on the system panel lit up, instantly catching Rosh's attention and filling him with excitement. [Congratulations to the Host! You have earned three lottery chances or 3, 000 Origin Points.] [Special Reminder: The Host may choose between lottery draws or Origin Point rewards. Each lottery draw is equivalent to 1, 000 Origin Points. The rewards can also be freely combined according to the Host's preference. Please make your selection.] To put it simply, one lottery spin was worth 1, 000 Origin Points. Whether he opted for all lottery spins, all Origin Points, or a mix of the two, the total value of his rewards would always add up to three equivalent uses.

The instructions were clear and easy to follow, but Rosh needed to carefully consider how to maximize their benefits. Origin Points were invaluable for boosting abilities, so spending everything on lottery spins wouldn't be wise. Some Points had to be saved for essential upgrades. From his past experience, 1, 000 Origin Points could elevate the Glint-Glint Fruit to the power level of Admiral Kizaru—a truly remarkable improvement.

This meant he didn't have to go all-in on Origin Points; there was still a chance to gamble on the lottery and possibly win something extraordinary. Striking a balance between lottery spins and Origin Points seemed like the most practical strategy. However, the exact allocation would depend on what the lottery spin yielded. After a brief moment of thought, Rosh came to a decision: "I'll start with one spin and see what I get before deciding further."

"System, let's begin with one lottery spin!" he declared confidently. [Drawing rewards...] The system's notification chimed, and a dazzling array of items began cycling rapidly before Rosh's eyes: [Quake-Quake Fruit, Op-Op Fruit, Black Blade Shusui, Admiral-Level Rokushiki, Flower-Flower Fruit, Sand-Sand Fruit, Vegapunk's Knowledge, Pacifista Technology, Garp's Iron Fist, Armament Haki Seed, the Going Merry...] Rosh's heart raced as he scanned the flashing items.

Some rewards were legendary, their power almost too incredible to fathom. Others, however, seemed outright absurd.

"The Going Merry? Seriously? What would I even do with a ship in this world?" The rollercoaster of anticipation kept building until the stream of text came to an abrupt halt, accompanied by a crisp notification sound. [Lottery complete!] [Congratulations to the host for obtaining Roronoa Zoro's swordsmanship (East Blue level)!] Rosh stared at the system panel, his initial excitement giving way to a mix of disappointment and contemplation.

"Zoro's swordsmanship? Sure, it's practical, but from the East Blue? That's beginner-level Zoro—not exactly groundbreaking." Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Still, as he mulled it over, he began to see some potential. Even an Admiral like Kizaru had faced legendary swordsmen such as Dark King Rayleigh, whose skills could challenge even the strongest Logia users. Having a foundation in swordsmanship might not be such a bad idea.

Besides, Rosh's imagination stirred at the possibilities.

"If I combine Zoro's techniques with a weapon like the Black Blade Shusui, the results could be fascinating." He also reminded himself that this was the Marvel universe—a world teeming with unpredictable powers and chaotic forces. While Haki didn't technically exist here, who was to say there wouldn't be threats capable of bypassing Logia defenses? With these thoughts, his frustration eased, and he decided to view the reward as a strategic advantage rather than a missed opportunity.

Still, it wasn't nearly enough to satisfy him.

"System, let's go for another draw!" Rosh commanded, his determination unwavering as he prepared for the next chance. [Drawing rewards...] Once again, the system began flashing through a rapid sequence of potential prizes. The blur of items spun by until it finally came to a halt. [Lottery complete!] [Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an Observation Haki Seed!] This time, Rosh could hardly contain his excitement. Observation Haki was exactly what he had been hoping for!

Without it, his Devil Fruit powers were nowhere near their full potential. While his abilities granted incredible speed and destructive power, they lacked precision and the ability to anticipate his opponent's moves. Observation Haki was the missing piece he desperately needed to elevate his combat effectiveness. However, as he read the reward description more carefully, his excitement was tempered slightly. It wasn't the fully developed ability—it was just a seed, the very foundation of Observation Haki.

To unlock its full potential, he would need to train and develop it over time. Even so, the reward was undeniably valuable. Rosh knew he could nurture the seed into something far greater with dedication and effort. It was the first step toward building a more complete and versatile fighting style.

"Finally!" he thought with a mix of satisfaction and determination.

"This will round out my abilities perfectly." Still, the fact that it was just a seed left him feeling a bit uneasy. Self-training wasn't his strongest suit, and he had no guide to accelerate the process. Progress could be slow, and that frustrated him. Thankfully, he still had one last decision to make, and this time, he knew exactly what to do.

"System, for the final reward, I'll take 1, 000 Origin Points!" he declared decisively. [Congratulations, Host! You've received 1, 000 Origin Points!] [Host has unspent Origin Points. These can be used to enhance the Glint-Glint Fruit, Observation Haki, or Zoro's Swordsmanship. Please make your selection.] The system's prompt echoed in his mind, presenting him with a choice. There was no need for hesitation for Rosh—his decision had already been made.

"Enhance Observation Haki!" he commanded confidently. [Enhancement in progress...] The system began its work, and Rosh felt an intense surge of energy coursing through him. It was as if his entire being was tuning into a higher frequency, sharpening his awareness to a level he had never imagined. [Origin Points deducted...] [Enhancement complete!] [Congratulations to the Host! Observation Haki upgraded to the level of Admiral Fujitora's template.] Rosh's eyes sparkled with elation as he processed the magnitude of his new power. Fujitora's Observation Haki was legendary in the world of One Piece and was celebrated for its unparalleled precision and range. The mere fact that it allowed the blind Admiral to accurately sense and summon meteorites from space was proof of its extraordinary capabilities. And now, that very ability was his.'' This changes everything!'' Rosh couldn't help but marvel at the transformation as his newly enhanced senses activated.

The world around him seemed to come alive in ways he had never experienced before. Every detail, from the faintest movement to the subtlest shift in energy, unfolded before him with breathtaking clarity. The range was immense, stretching far beyond what he thought possible. It was as though he had unlocked a hidden dimension of awareness.

"Perfect," he muttered under his breath, a satisfied grin creeping across his face. The weight of this achievement settled in his mind, and he felt a surge of confidence unlike anything before. With Fujitora's Observation Haki bolstering his awareness and Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit providing him with unparalleled speed and power, Rosh was no longer just another player in this chaotic world. He was evolving into a force that could stand toe-to-toe with the most formidable opponents.

Every challenge ahead now seemed less daunting. With his growing arsenal of abilities, Rosh was steadily carving his path to becoming an unstoppable force in this universe. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Next Chapter: A Man Interested in Zoan Fruits Next Next Chapter: The First Sold Zoan-Type Devil Fruit Next Next Next Chapter: The Real Power Lies with Rosh Can't get enough?
