Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Foreseeing the Future
Ghost Energy?!
Adrian was suddenly taken aback upon seeing the name of the newly acquired skill.
"What the hell? Is One Piece transitioning from the surface era to the space era?" he wondered aloud.
"Could it be… Am I going to become a space player too?"
"Nice! I think I have an advantage–"
However, as Adrian delved into the skill description, his expectations, which had been soaring, plummeted instantly.
The holy F2A connection…
…was broken!
"The unique energy that emanates from ghosts is called [Ghost Energy]…"
"Is that famous singing and dancing fruit user's Devil Fruit called Light Energy? Is he a Light Energy messenger or Ultraman?"
"And what about the Magma Fruit? Is it Magma Energy?"
Let's return to the main topic.
Ghost energy is Adrian's first skill without a level. Without a level, it means that the skill effect cannot be improved using experience points; instead, it can only be enhanced through self-training.
As Adrian prepared to set aside all distractions and carefully study the specific effects of ghost energy…
The panel prompt was not yet completely finished.
Following the news bird's report, the story of sinking eight naval warships spread further, sparking extraordinary discussions on the sea and naturally earning Adrian new legend points.
[You have gained 1 legend point!]
[Paradise Legend Points: Fleet Battle – In the tumultuous waters of Paradise, you found yourself encircled by eight formidable naval warships, their steel hulls gleaming in defiance. Led by a Marine Vice Admiral, these vessels bore down upon you, their cannons primed for battle. But you, a force to be reckoned with, stood your ground. Thousands of enemies swarmed, yet you did not falter. Instead, you turned the tide, sending those monstrous ships to their watery graves. Your power reverberated across the world, etching your name into the annals of legend.]
Paradise, though smaller than the vast outer seas, holds legend points of immense value that cannot be discounted. These points, acquired previously, were akin to personal titles. However, this time, the legend is represented by the name of an event.
Yet, I find the description of this legend just a bit… somewhat plain…
"Anyway," he chuckled, "it's a pleasant surprise!"
In this moment, the delayed camp favorability has finally refreshed:
[Marine's favorability toward you has decreased, and the current relationship is Friendly!]
"Wow! This time, the prompt for a decrease in favorability finally appeared!"
"It seems that the eight Marine warships this time really made the Marines over there feel pain!"
"But why is it still friendly?!"
As a pirate with a bounty exceeding 300 million Berries, what kind of operation could lead to the Marine's favorability consistently increasing?
[You have initiated the World Government faction relationship!]
[World Government's goodwill towards you has decreased, current relationship is hostile and indifferent!]
"Hmm? The camp relationship with the World Government has finally been unlocked?"
"I originally thought that the World Government and the Marines were in the same camp…"
"Huh, that sounds so strange."
"They're supposed to be in the same camp, right?"
"But why is the Marine's favorability positive, while the World Government's favorability is negative? I don't understand at all!"
Adrian decided not to dwell on the murky relationship between the World Government and the Marines. Instead, he opened his personal panel and discovered that he had accumulated 98 skill points.
"It's time to spend, spend, spend! Finally, the heart-pounding shopping spree!"
Without a doubt, the only skills worth investing points in at this moment were Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
In comparison, Armament Haki, accompanied by two unique traits—"Ryūō" and "Black Jade"—though superficial in level, was, in reality, no less potent than the expertise of those who had immersed themselves in this path for years!
Adrian swiftly made his choice:
Upgrade Observation Haki to LV5 by spending 110 million experience points.
Then invest 45 skill points to maximize Observation Haki's level.
The panel promptly issued a notification:
[Detecting that [Observation Haki] has been upgraded to the maximum level!]
[Observation Haki characteristics unlocked!]
Adrian raised an intrigued eyebrow and meticulously read the panel description.
Just like Armament Haki, Observation Haki, explored to its depths, revealed an array of characteristics.
And there it was—the previously speculated [Future Sight]—now officially listed!
Adrian found himself slightly surprised that Red Count Patrick Redfield's [Mind Reading] and Fish-Man Princess Otohime's [Thought Disturbance] were also among the characteristics that Observation Haki could unlock!
{Extracted from fandom wiki: She also uses this ability to understand the feelings of others, and can use this to get her enemies to change their ways.
- 3rd sentence of Otohime, Abilities and powers, Kenbunshoku Haki}
There is also a [Super-scale range perception] and [Emotion perception] similar to Fujitora Issho!
Each of these characteristics came at a cost: 5 skill points. A considerable investment, indeed.
The panel, however, offered flexibility. As long as enough skill points were available, all characteristics were within reach.
Adrian pondered. It was predictable that once Armament Haki reached its maximum level, it too could be unlocked through skill points.
After a moment's contemplation, Adrian made his choice and invested 5 skill points.
[You have acquired the Observation Haki characteristic - 'Future Sight'!]
[Future Sight]: When using Observation Haki with full concentration, you can briefly predict the future within ten seconds, encompassing not only images but also sounds.
[Note: The future is not unique, but exists in multiple branches.]
Adrian frowned. The effect of the 'Future Sight' characteristic fell short of his expectations.
Undeterred, he invested 5 more skill points:
[Future Sight]: When using Observation Haki with full concentration, you can predict the future within half a minute.
[Future Sight]: When using Observation Haki with full concentration, you can predict the future within three minutes.
Observing this, Adrian halted further investment in Observation Haki. He had already committed 60 skill points to it, pushing the limits of his mental capacity.
It appeared that the [Future Sight] characteristic would continue to evolve, but the upgrades would merely extend the duration. Continuing to invest seemed unwarranted.
Besides, three minutes of future sight was already enough!
Adrian reviewed his panel information:

Adrian looked at his newly refreshed character panel and couldn't help but feel happy. He muttered to himself.
"Vice Admiral Comil is a really kind person!"
"It's just a tad regrettable that I couldn't acquire that sea stone jitte…"
With his belongings packed, Adrian resumed his journey toward the next destination.
