[Ding. The system has detected that the host has completed the beginner mission of selling ten jars. The beginner reward, one exclusive jar, is now being issued.]
"At the same time, the host is now permitted to move freely off the ship. From now on, you no longer need to sell jars only on board. After sailing to another place, you can dock, take goods ashore, and sell them on land."
As the system spoke, Amon's exclusive jar appeared in front of him.
At the same time, the restriction that had kept him chained to the ship was lifted.
From here on out, he would no longer be trapped living and selling only on this little broken boat.
That bit of news made him ecstatic.
He really did not want to spend his entire life confined to one shabby merchant ship.
He had finally arrived in the world of One Piece, so of course he had to go play, look around, and maybe pick up a few girls while he was at it.
But for now, the most important thing was opening his exclusive jar.
After a whole day of cracking jars for other people and watching treasure after treasure pop out, his eyes were as red as a gambler's.
He had also fully realized that in the world of pirates, living without power was basically asking to die.
He was going to be going ashore to sell jars soon. To do that safely, he needed strength.
So right now, what Amon wanted the most was something that could improve his combat power.
As for the other items, he would really not mind a few that could help ease his loneliness.
For example, a pet... or something similarly comforting.
Amon picked up his exclusive jar and smashed it down with all his strength.
Just like every other jar so far, three items spilled out.
Seeing that, Amon hurriedly grabbed them up, heart pounding.
He had finally reached his own turn.
Once he had gathered everything in his arms, he closed his eyes slightly and called the system to inspect them.
In an instant, the attributes of all three objects appeared clearly in his mind, and his breathing sped up.
The three items were:
[Intermediate Observation Haki]: A combat skill unique to the world of pirates. Those who possess Observation Haki gain a powerful sense of the auras around them, allowing them to sense enemies outside their line of sight and even predict their movements in advance. On Skypiea it is known as "Mantra," a kind of mind reading, or "the power of listening."
As long as a person is alive, their body emits a special sound. By listening to those sounds, one can predict an opponent's next move and location, and with training, extend the effective range.
Higher level Observation Haki users can even hear the voices in others' hearts.
If trained to the very peak, it is said to be able to foresee the future, a skill that is extremely useful in battle.
[Advanced Body Tempering Elixir]: Once used, it washes and reforges the body, strengthening the physique and making the user physically powerful. A very rare potion.
[Swordsmanship LV7]: Once used, it instantly raises the user's swordsmanship to Level 7. Even someone who has never practiced swordsmanship before can use it.
"Wow wow wow"
Amon was loving the system. Everything it gave him was exactly what he wanted.
First, that Advanced Body Tempering Elixir. Up to now, his body had been completely ordinary. Without this reforging, even if he gained high level swordsmanship, he would never be able to fully unleash its power.
Even worse, in a real fight he would have to be extremely cautious. With such a fragile body, a casual blow from the wrong person might kill him outright.
Next, he was very satisfied with the fact that the system had given him Observation Haki instead of the other two types.
Of the three kinds of Haki, Amon had always felt Observation Haki suited him the best.
The survival potential alone was huge.
Being able to sense danger before it landed on him, to feel killing intent, to predict attacks and dodge them, that was the kind of ability that kept people alive in a chaotic sea.
Lastly, Swordsmanship LV7.
He did not know exactly how strong Level 7 swordsmanship was, but since it came from the system, it definitely would not be weak.
In any case, there was no need to overthink it.
Amon uncorked the Advanced Body Tempering Elixir.
The instructions said "open and drink."
He tilted his head back and poured the entire contents into his mouth.
As the liquid slid down his throat, a warm flow immediately spread from his mouth through his chest and into every part of his body.
Wherever the warmth passed, his muscles and bones felt as if they were being gently polished.
Rather than the agonizing, bone-deep torture, it was smooth and comfortable.
His entire body felt relaxed, light, and unbelievably good.
Very good.
The warm current flowed quickly.
Before Amon was done enjoying the sensation, it had already dispersed into every cell of his body and faded away.
When it was over, he stood there for a moment and realized something.
His whole body felt full of strength.
He threw a casual set of punches at the air.
With every swing, his muscles felt tighter and more explosive, his balance more stable, his center of gravity heavier and surer.
Amon's confidence swelled.
"At this rate, I could fight ten people alone with no problem at all."
He chuckled to himself, feeling very pleased.

T/N:
Only system given jars can be opened by Amon for himself. The system forbids him from opening the regular jars for personal benefits.
