After several minutes, Oliver had finally calmed down.
"Hey, can't I exchange the Devil Fruit I got for a ticket?"
[That's impossible.]
"But it's useless—well, I mean it's useless for me. What if I eat it? Would the inventory work differently?" he said, holding it in his hand.
[If you eat it, you won't be able to eat another Devil Fruit. If you try, you will die.]
"I know… if I remember correctly, they say that if you eat two, the devils inside the fruits fight inside your body and the person explodes. That's why I need to think carefully before eating a Devil Fruit…"
[Unless you have the Ultra Gen Talent.]
"Yeah… unless I get Ultra…" he thought about what was said. "Ultra Gen?"
[Ultra Gen is one of the rarest talents, which allows the user's body to eat more than one Devil Fruit without dying.]
"THAT'S INCREDIBLE! If I had that, I could have all the most powerful Devil Fruits in One Piece at once!" he said excitedly. "How much would it cost to get it?"
[You could keep buying until you reach your 100th gacha, where the maximum rarity is guaranteed, as long as the talent you want is available that month.]
"Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean 'available'?"
[Gachas change what can be obtained each month, and from time to time a temporary gacha appears that costs 10,000,000 Belly, where you can get one of the rarest Weapons, Combat Styles, Talents, or Devil Fruits.]
"I see… I'll have to save up more money for when that happens. Status."

"I have quite a few things. Can I exchange some inventory items for money through the system?"
[No. You can only get money by selling items at a shop.]
[The system cannot help you with that.]
"So I'll have to find a shop."
He looked at the forest again.
"I'll go look for some fruits, and maybe I'll find a Devil Fruit. Well, I doubt that will happen."
He got up and stretched a bit.
"If I follow the beach, I might find a dock that leads to the village."
He started walking along the shoreline while admiring the sea, but soon felt a bit thirsty.
"I suppose I can try this alcohol."
He took out a bottle, took a sip, and felt a bitter taste.
"Terrible flavor… it's like drinking the cheapest beer from a supermarket," he said, finishing the bottle.
As he was about to discard it, he saw a ship docked in the distance. Thinking it was a dock, he hurried toward it.
As he got closer, he saw the ship was bright pink, with several hearts in various places, and the figurehead was some kind of swan with hearts too.
"What an ugly ship… although it has a Jolly Roger, so it's a pirate ship. But who could have such an ugly ship?"
He approached and saw some pirates looking toward the forest.
'Why do I feel like I've seen this scene somewhere before?'
"Hey, there's someone here!"
Oliver looked and saw the pirates aiming their weapons at him.
"I'm just here to see what kind of ship this is," Oliver said, raising his hands.
"Do you think this is one of the people Koby brought?"
Hearing that made Oliver smile from ear to ear.
"Koby? HAHAHAHA!"
He laughed, realizing where he was.
"So Luffy is on this island."
He punched the pirate aiming at him, sending him flying, then ran at two others, using Electro and his claws to incapacitate them both in one move.
"I need to find Luffy and Koby. They're probably in the forest if it's like the manga."
[Mission: Defeat Alvida, the Iron Mace]
[Reward: 5,000,000 Belly]
"And there's even a mission! That's good—and an amazing reward!"
Oliver, shouting, heard people moving on the ship.
"First I'll deal with the pirates, loot their treasure, and then go after Alvida."

In the forest, two people were talking: one with pink hair, big glasses, short stature, a simple white short-sleeve buttoned shirt, black pants, and white sneakers; the other had black hair, shorts with sandals, a red shirt, and a straw hat.
They were discussing their goals when a fat woman with a huge mace appeared.
"Who do you think you're going to capture, Koby?!" she shouted, almost hitting him.
"So that guy is the bounty hunter you hired, huh? He doesn't look anything like Roronoa Zoro. Before you die, I want to hear—who is the most beautiful in these seas? Say it, Koby!"
The woman waited for him to answer, but the young man with the straw hat interrupted.
"Who's this old fat lady?" asked the boy with the straw hat.
The pirates were scared, and so was Koby, knowing what their captain would do.
"Retract yourself, Luffy! Say with me: in these seas, this lady is the most—" Before finishing, he remembered Luffy's words. "The fattest and stinkiest!"
Luffy laughed maniacally at what Koby said.
"You brat!" the woman shouted, enraged, raising her huge mace.
Koby was scared but unrepentant for telling her to her face.
"Well said, Koby! Now, step back!" Luffy said, pushing him behind.
"I don't care! I won't let you live anyway!"
The woman attacked Luffy directly in the head, which worried Koby, but Luffy remained unharmed.
"Impossible! How are you still alive?!" she asked, shocked.
"That's because I'm made of rubber," Luffy replied, laughing.
The pirates were stunned and couldn't react, when suddenly a voice shouted behind them:
"What an ugly whale!"
Alvida turned and saw Oliver holding a cannonball.
"There goes, whale!"
He threw the cannonball at Alvida's stomach, sending her crashing into several trees.
"I think that was too strong."
[Mission Complete]
[Reward: 5,000,000 Belly]
"She defeated Alvida!" shouted the pirates.
Oliver looked at the rest of the pirates and attacked them the same way to defeat them.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I thought you might need help," said Oliver, grabbing Alvida's iron mace and storing it in his inventory, trying not to get too excited seeing Luffy.
"Who are you?" asked Koby.
"Sorry, I'm Oliver. I was looking for a village and a boat to sail the seas and ran into you," Oliver lied, taking the rest of the pirates' weapons.
"Wow! How did you do that?!" Luffy asked, seeing the weapons disappear whenever Oliver touched them.
"It's a mysterious power," Oliver said.
He made a sword, a piece of cheese, and finally a large piece of meat appear.
"Meat!" Luffy shouted, seeing it appear.
"Take it."
He didn't even finish saying it before Luffy devoured it in one bite.
"You're a good person," Luffy said, still chewing.
Koby didn't know what to say, seeing Luffy enjoying himself and ignoring what had just happened.
"So you want to sail the seas. Are you a pirate?" Luffy asked Oliver.
"Not yet. I'm not at sea, so no—but I want to be," Oliver replied.
"Join me! I'm looking for strong Nakama, and you seem interesting," Luffy said excitedly.
"Alright, I'll join you," Oliver said with a smile.
"I've got my first Nakama!" Luffy shouted happily.
'I'm in the Straw Hat crew—I'll be able to witness everything firsthand,' Oliver thought, imagining the upcoming conflicts.
"Let's go! We need to find a boat so Koby can become a Marine!"
Luffy walked off, but stopped.
"Where can we get a boat?" Luffy asked himself.
"I think I saw some on Alvida's ship," Oliver said.
"Then let's go there," Luffy said.
Luffy walked off again, leaving Koby and Oliver behind.
And so, becoming Luffy's first Nakama, Oliver accompanied him and Koby to find a boat to head to the next island.
"So Luffy-san, you ate the Gum-Gum Fruit. That's amazing!" said Koby.
"But Luffy-san, if you're looking for the One Piece, then you'll have to enter the Grand Line, right?" asked Koby.
"That's right!" said Luffy.
"But that place is known as the pirates' graveyard," said Koby worriedly.
"Yes! That's why I need very strong nakama to join me! And I already have my first nakama, so now we're heading to the Marine Base where they've got that guy!" said Luffy.
"Do you mean Roronoa Zoro?" asked Koby.
"That's right! Do you mind?" Luffy asked Oliver.
"I don't see why not include him," said Oliver.
"Roronoa Zoro is known as the Pirate Hunter. He's a terrible guy! Like a stray dog hungry for blood!"
Koby began saying extremely bad things about Zoro to try and change Luffy's mind about recruiting him as a nakama.
"I haven't decided he'll be my nakama yet. But if he's a good guy, then he's in," said Luffy with a smile.
"He was captured because he's a bad person!" shouted Koby. "Don't you think so too?"
"I don't judge others without seeing them first. Besides, just because he was captured, does that make him bad?" Oliver asked him.
"Of course," replied Koby.
"If Luffy were captured, would that also make him bad?" Oliver asked again.
"Eh?"
Koby was left thoughtful, and Oliver remained silent, just waiting until they arrived at Shells Town.
'Roronoa Zoro. I'm about to meet one of the Wings of the Future King of the Pirates.'

I have a dilemma with the characters' techniques, since many of them use different languages, especially Japanese, so I'm not sure whether to leave them in the original language or make everything in English
