A thought crossed Noir's mind and he cast a recognition spell on Ace.
"Name: Ace
Most Evil Bloodline: Gold Quality, containing the genes of Pirate King Roger, inheriting the talent for training in Haki and other martial arts. He will face a life-threatening ordeal once in his lifetime, and most of his relatives will suffer misfortune. However, if he overcomes this ordeal, his overall strength will double in a short period of time and he will have ...

Noir stared at the Devil Fruit in his hand. It was unmistakable!
Why had the Flaming Devil Fruit appeared on his ship after the death of the high priest?
In the original story, something like this had happened before: when a Devil Fruit user died, a nearby fruit had a chance to become a new Devil Fruit.
But that was too random!
Noir looked strangely at the Flame Fruit in his hand.
Ace curiously looked over and asked, "Strange, this fruit looks really strange, doe...

With the help of the golden talent "Conqueror's Aptitude", Noir finally awakened the last of the three types of Haki, the Conqueror's Haki, at the age of seventeen.

Zoro sat cross-legged on the ground, recalling his master's words just before he left Shimotsuki Village.
"Zoro, take this map. Follow the directions, and you'll find a town where you can buy supplies."
He unfurled the map given by Master Koshiro, rested his chin on his hand, and studied it intently. After a while, he muttered, "I didn't take a wrong turn, did I?"
"But where's the town?"
Zoro glanced at the desolate wilderness around him, deeply questioning his place i...

Zoro sat there staring at his broken swords and felt a sudden bitterness rise in his heart.
He had lost.
He had barely left his master's dojo and already tasted defeat.
Silently, Zoro sheathed his Wado Ichimonji and said darkly, "There really are many people stronger than me.
Noir smiled. It was good that Zoro recognized his own shortcomings.
In the original story, Zoro fought without much pressure before meeting Mihawk, leaving no room for growth.

The remains of a pirate ship were burning furiously as Noir and Ace stood at the entrance of the Baratie Restaurant.
The noise from the Fire Fist had alarmed the chefs inside, who all rushed out.
Several rowdy chefs with rolling pins and sticks came out aggressively, ready for a brawl.
The Baratie Restaurant was built on the sea, and countless pirates coveted it every month, so these chefs were no strangers to fighting.
But as soon as they stepped outside, they were st...

While Noir and the villagers celebrated their victory at the banquet, there were always some unfortunate souls in the darkness.
On a small, isolated island, a group of fish-men lay on the ground in disarray.
At the forefront, the saw-toothed shark fish-man clutched his chest, a deep wound across it. His webbed hand covered his mouth, but it couldn't stop the blood gushing from his maw.
"Arlong!!"
The three main fish-man cadre, who had been unconscious, had awakened and...

Black hair, black eyes, freckles on his face, and an orange hat with a smiley face and a crying face pattern on it.
Noir was stunned.
Is this Ace? Why am I meeting him here?
Oh, right. If we consider the age, Noir and Ace are the same age.
He has set out to sea, and Ace should have become a pirate by now. It's quite normal.
Noir saw Ace and his companions looking at him blankly and greeted them, "Hello!"
Ace saw a large ship approaching, and the ship's owne...

After dealing with the Nameless Pirate crew, Noir took all their money and loaded it onto his ship.
Under the tearful eyes of the pirates, the ship with the master and his two disciples sailed away.
Noir sat cross-legged on the deck, his eyes closed.
He tried to comprehend the Observation Haki that the System had awakened in him.
Originally, Haki required systematic learning and training to master, but Noir, with his Conqueror's Disposition and the Way of the Conqueror...

Ace, Skull, and Mihar immediately showed expressions of frustration upon hearing this.
Deuce, who was sitting nearby and itching to play, pushed Ace and said, "Move aside, it's my turn!
Ace angrily pounded the table and shouted, "This isn't normal! Why can't I win just once?"

On a calm sea, a large ship sailed steadily along its course.
Noir stood at the bow with a map in his hand, excitedly gazing out at the distant sea. "We've arrived!"
Ace and the others rushed to the bow, their faces full of wonder as they gazed upon the uniquely designed floating restaurant.
Although it was called a restaurant, it had the appearance of a huge ship, with fish-shaped figureheads at each end. The ship was quite spacious, obviously able to accommodate many diner...

Removing the fish's scales, guts, and bones, Noir's movements were quick, clean, and mesmerizing.
With a quick chop, a row of green onions and garlic fell into the pan, followed by a burst of flame as he added the sauce and sake, then placed the fish slices in.
As Noir's routine unfolded, the previously angry cooks began to calm down.
The further he went, the more amazed they became.
In terms of knife skills, cooking techniques, and precision, this person seemed like a...

Accompanied by Noir's roar, the surrounding villagers seemed to be enraged as well.
"How dare you insult the high priest! Kill them!"
"Skin them alive! Offer their skins to the High Priest!"
At the mention of the so-called High Priest, the villagers became even more ferocious, brandishing their weapons as they charged forward.
Ace couldn't hold back any longer and charged in, fists raised. Deuce and Skull also drew their flintlocks and began firing, fighting back.

Noir quickened his pace, his sword slashing wildly, sending deadly waves of sword energy that left his enemies either dead or seriously injured.
The pirates could no longer hold back the increasingly frenzied Noir. York, in the crowd, looked terrified as he stepped back, clearly planning to abandon his comrades and escape.
Frowning, Noir thrust his sword forward and slashed through the pirates blocking his path before slashing at York.

After Arlong invaded Cocoyasi Village, ten-year-old Nami endured the humiliation and joined the Arlong Pirates to protect the villagers. She agreed to Arlong's condition: if she could collect 100 million berries, the village would be freed.
To accomplish this, Nami resorted to deception and theft, using her extraordinary skills to steal from the pirates. However, Arlong broke his promise and conspired with Captain Nezumi to steal Nami's savings, prompting the Straw Hat Pirates to fight ...

Noir drew his sword, causing the two sisters to immediately raise their katanas against him, cautiously sizing him up.
"Attack!" the older sister shouted, and the two charged at Noir, engaging in a fierce battle.
Fifteen minutes later.
The two sisters, with faces swollen, knelt properly on the ground, mumbling, "You really defeated Arlong, no doubt about it!"
Curious, Noir squatted down to inspect them and asked, "Are you really pirate hunters? You seem pretty weak!"

Noir was startled and tried to change direction, but the fog, like a conscious beast, quickly engulfed his ship.
The surroundings turned into a white expanse. Noir hit his head in frustration; he had been too careless.
He thought that with Nami's god-level navigational skills, everything would be fine. But the sudden fog gave him a harsh reality check.
"This fog doesn't seem to be naturally formed," he thought. Having learned the basics of navigation from Nami, Noir knew a l...

The high priest picked up a miniature version of the Flame Emperor and threw it down with a sinister smile, shouting, "Die, you bastard!"
The blazing fireball hovered over the two of them. Ace raised his eyebrows slightly.
Hmm... its speed is actually quite slow.
Ace, agile as ever, ran much faster than the fireball, dodging it with a few quick moves.
The high priest panted heavily when he saw how fast the boy was moving. He was furious, his eyes almost popping out of ...

Noir was naturally unaware of the peeping from a distance.
The owner of those bright eyes had short purple hair, and her petite body looked like it could be blown away by the wind. She seemed to be around Noir's age.
In her arms, she held a little girl who looked just about a year old, with tufts of orange hair on her tiny head.
The orange-haired little girl had a dirty face, looking pitiful as she tugged at her sister's arm and spoke in a voice that seemed filled with milk ...

Damn! Even someone as strong as you have to swim?

"The system recognizes both innate talents and acquired skills. As long as the ability is rare in this world and only possessed by a special group of people, it can be copied by the system."
"Additionally, innate talents determine a person's potential upper limits, and everyone has at least one. Acquired talents, on the other hand, can improve in quality through training."

Noir recognized most of the people on the pirate ship. The fat guy always holding a drumstick, Usopp's father Yasopp, and the first mate Benn Beckman were all there, among others.
Several other crew members, whose names Noir couldn't remember, were standing on the ship, mercilessly mocking Shanks:

Though Slasher wasn't made of any rare or valuable materials, its crafting was complex, and it suited Arlong's fighting style perfectly.
Moreover, it had been with him for many years!
It was as if Noir's sword had smashed Arlong's beloved companion into pieces!
Veins bulged on Arlong's forehead, and his steel teeth were almost shattering. His bloodshot eyes glared fierce...

Addressing this matter naturally, Noir and the two girls had gone through thick and thin together, now becoming a family. They called him brother these days, but Bell-mère refused to be called mom, arguing it made her sound old. Given that Bell-mère was only 21, it made sense. In a past life, she'd just be starting her beautiful life!

Startled, Kembra punched at Noir, who narrowly avoided the blow, unaware that another bear paw was coming at him from the side.

Only during such events would Bell-mère allow Noir to have a drink with the villagers.
Nojiko and Nami, with their adorable looks, would always get plenty of treats...
