As a half-orc, Seto was born with extraordinary strength and physical prowess.
Years of underground fights have seasoned Seto's every punch with the essence of hard work and determination!
He reigns as the undisputed champion of the underground, undefeated in a thousand battles.
"Do you want me to join you in the fight?" Seto cocked his head, asking Duke.
Seto loves combat!
A relentless fighting spirit courses through his veins.
"Trust me, this world offers plenty of opportunities for you to test your skills in battle!" Duke casually remarked, then pressed the lottery button again,
"System, give me another S-level lottery!"
The odds of acquiring a formidable hero from an S-level lottery are significantly higher than those from an A-level lottery.
[After spending one billion Berry's, Host's remaining Berry's amounts to 460 million!]
[Congratulations to Host for winning the S+ level prize and obtaining the Outlaw Armor!
Outlaw Armor: Boosts vitality and stamina significantly when worn.
Additionally, it grants rapid recovery of stamina and vitality when the user remains unharmed for a brief period!]
"Crazy Outlaw Armor?"
"Hehe, even without a hero, that billion wasn't a waste at all!" Duke grinned with satisfaction, then swiftly donned the Outlaw Armor.
Duke resolved to amp up his training starting tomorrow, aiming for a tenfold increase in intensity.
In the pirate world, especially among powerful Zoan users, resilience is legendary.
Think of Kaido's Blue Dragon Fruit or Luffy's Sun God Fruit—sit-ups for days!
But now, clad in the Outlaw Armor, Duke remarked, "Let's take a ten-minute breather first."
Ten minutes later, he was ready for battle, fully rejuvenated.
"Only 460 million left?"
"Should I save up for an S-level prize, or try my luck with a 100-million A-level lottery?"
"My luck seems good today," Duke mused, eyeing the system's remaining 460 million wealth.
The thrill of the lottery was addictive!
He pressed the button once more, hoping for another stroke of luck.
But winning the chainmail armor as a B-level prize left him feeling disappointed.
"Can an A-level lottery give me B-level gear?"
"Is there any guarantee?"
"RNM, refund my money!" Duke grumbled under his breath, knowing a refund wasn't possible.
His system wasn't that smart.
But faced with the chainmail, he had no choice but to equip it.
With a final click, Duke closed the lottery interface, ready for whatever lay ahead.
The A-level lottery wasn't worth Duke's money today.
Gone were the days of risking everything on plundering merchant ships like Dover's.
Thanks to the expanding Valoran lottery and occasional surprises from Plank and the four major mafia families, Duke's wealth grew steadily every month.
In the pirate world, strength equaled wealth.
"So, I must aim for at least an S-level prize," Duke thought. "After all, wealth means freedom!"
"But now, it's time to welcome our guests!" Duke's eyes sparkled.
In the nearby waters, a pirate ship bearing the Donquixote Family flag was sailing straight towards Valoran.
On the ship's bow, Diamante, sporting a chief's hat, looked uninterested.
The Donquixote Family wouldn't bother with Valoran if not for their desire to establish dominance in West Blue.
Robbing hundreds of millions of berry might be significant to many, but for Doflamingo, now ruling Dressrosa as a dark world emperor, it was trivial.
Unlike poor King Riku, unable to amass even ten billion berry's, Doflamingo was wealthy beyond measure.
However, just as Diamante pondered dealing with Duke, a strange pirate ship flew a musket, scimitar, and skull flag, its sharp bow slicing through the waves.
"That's the Abyss of Gangplank, the infamous sea terror," someone remarked. "Why is he here? Isn't he on the run from the Marines?"
"It's done, it's all done now," a member of the Donquixote Family in West Blue whispered in horror. "They say Gangplank never lets a pirate ship escape his grasp!"
He trembled as he spoke, looking at the Abyss and the accompanying fleet with dread. Within just a month, Plank's name had become a terror in West Blue. His reputation surpassed even some New World pirates, who seemed distant in comparison. Plank's daily conquests of other pirate crews and his continuous evasion of Marine pursuit made headlines regularly.
"What a waste," Diamante exclaimed, firing at the frightened Donquixote member, silencing him. Then, he turned to face the Abyss, smiling coldly.
"No wonder our family's ships were raided. West Blue's members are weak!" he scoffed. "Do they not know we are Dover's associates, part of the Donquixote Family?"
"Follow my lead," Diamante ordered his crew. "Let these West Blue weaklings taste New World power!"
"This sea won't be ruled by some pirate fleet!"
With determination, Diamante's ship and its crew, seasoned from the New World, set sail towards Gangplank's fleet. Surviving in the New World meant having strength comparable to a Navy Headquarters sergeant, if not greater. They had witnessed true despair-inducing power in those treacherous waters.
In a world where might was paramount, numbers alone meant little against quality. Diamante and his top cadres were confident in their strength, ready to face any challenge.
But their confidence was shattered as Plank's Abyss ruthlessly dismantled Diamante's ship, leaving only chaos in its wake.
