Chapter 44: System Upgrade

Chapter 44: System Upgrade

Don't Forget to Review!!

The two who were beaten by Noir didn't dare to say a word and fled in panic.

After dealing with the two senior agents of Baroque Works, Noir finally made his way back to the house through the piles of unconscious people.

Lying comfortably on a large bed, Noir couldn't help but groan with satisfaction:

"Ah, this feels great~"

Just entering the Grand Line and already having a big house to live in - this is perfect.

Normally, Noir would have to stay here for a few days to fill the Log Pose with magnetic fields. Then he would follow the direction of the Log Pose to the next island.

What bothered Noir, however, was that according to the original story, the next destination after Whisky Peak should be Little Garden.

Little Garden had two giants that had been fighting for years. Also, due to its unique geography, it would take at least a year for the Log Pose to fill with magnetic fields and point to the next island.

Noir didn't have that kind of time to waste.

The best solution now was to find an Eternal Pose to change course, just like the Straw Hat crew did in the original story.

Unlike the Log Pose, the Eternal Pose always points in the direction of a specific island.

This item should be in the possession of some high-ranking agents of Baroque Works.

Noir now hoped that Crocodile would be persistent enough to send more people to Whisky Peak to kill or recruit him. Ideally, Crocodile would come in person so that Noir could follow him to Alabasta.

Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine were like paupers without an Eternal Pose to Alabasta.

This made sense, since Crocodile operated Baroque Works under the alias of Mr. 0. His subordinates wouldn't suspect that the boss of a crime syndicate was a warlord of the sea in Alabasta.

Meanwhile, Noir decided to stay in Whisky Peak, partly waiting for Crocodile to send more targets and partly waiting for the system to be upgraded.

The system's reward cards were lagging behind Noir's progress, so he hoped the system upgrade would be more beneficial.

While Noir slept comfortably on the big bed, the unlucky Mr. 5 reported the mission failure and the information about Noir to his superiors via a Den Den Mushi.

In the luxurious Rain Dinners casino in Alabasta, a Den Den Mushi wearing sunglasses sobbed and babbled on and on.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

After a while, a slender hand gently lifted the Den Den Mushi.

Nico Robin rested her chin on the hand, lost in thought.

The failure of Mr. 5's mission was unexpected. Though his explanation was exaggerated and omitted some details, Robin could still read between the lines.

It seemed that the rookie who had just entered the Grand Line had effortlessly defeated Mr. 5.

...

On Whisky Peak, Noir lived like a local king.

Once the bounty hunters had recovered from the shock of his Conqueror's Haki, they treated Noir with the utmost respect, acting like sycophants.

It was as if someone had instructed them.

They treated Noir as their superior, pampering him with good food and drink every day.

As for Mr. 9, who had tried to kill him earlier, Noir found him gone the next day. It seemed he had been dealt with internally.

The new number agent was a tall, thin man with a crown on his head and the number "10" written on his face.

The day he was promoted, he changed the number on his face to 9.

Noir didn't understand the meaning of this.

Then he realized that this guy was Vivi's partner when she infiltrated Baroque Works.

Under the leadership of the new Mr. 9, Noir enjoyed a few leisurely days.

Finally, on the third day, the long-dormant system woke up.

Impatiently, Noir asked, "System, tell me about the upgraded features.

The system's cold voice finally replied, "The system has fixed the inconsistencies with the Talent Replication Cards and opened new permissions.

"First, the number of talent slots for the host has been increased from seven to ten."

"Second, the system now has a collection catalog.

"Third, talents can now be merged."
