"It's good that I still have a weekly package and a monthly package otherwise, I would have really gotten angry." Rin muttered, looking helplessly at the cluttered pile of junk in front of him. The only thing that made him feel somewhat relieved was knowing he still had a weekly gift pack and a monthly gift pack left maybe they could produce something worthwhile.
"System, give me the weekly pack." Rin commanded without hesitation.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a bottle of Devil Fruit Weakness Elimination Potion." the system's icy mechanical voice echoed again.
"This is good very good, actually but why is there only one bottle this time? Last time I managed to pull five bottles!" Although Rin was pleased with the item, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the quantity. The Devil Fruit Weakness Elimination Potion was incredibly precious—removing the user's natural weakness to seawater and Seastone a weakness even the strongest Devil Fruit users in the world like Marshall D. Teach and Charlotte Katakuri couldn't ignore.
Still, Rin suppressed his slight irritation and quickly moved on.
"System, give me the monthly pack." Without wasting any more time, Rin ordered the system again, hoping something truly extraordinary would appear.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a permanent character summoning card."
"Permanent?!" At that moment, Rin almost jumped up from his seat, startled by the announcement. Up until now, he had collected several character summoning cards within his space ring, but all of them had been time-limited lasting only for a short period. This was entirely different a permanent character meant a lasting new crew member!
But everything depended on luck, if he summoned someone powerful like Kozuki Oden, Gol D. Roger, or even someone absurdly useful like Franky or Vegapunk, it would be a massive win. But if he ended up with a character totally useless or bizarre like some random citizen from East Blue or worse, a "Doraemon-type" character, Rin might faint on the spot. After all, the One Piece world was full of strange beings from Wapol's bizarre transformation powers to Charlotte Daifuku summoning a genie from his body—so anything could happen.
"In this way, I now have the ability to summon five characters at once one permanent and four temporary plus the five bottles of Devil Fruit Weakness Elimination Potion from last time." Rin calculated silently. "I've already used one bottle each on myself, Casa, and Enel, leaving two bottles and now, with the one bottle obtained today, there are three bottles remaining."
Rin carefully organized the numbers in his head. These resources would become crucial once they entered the New World, where chaos reigned under the rule of the Four Emperors.
"But... the permanent card should I open it now?" Rin hesitated. He was torn this was not just a simple random draw. Opening a permanent summoning card now meant committing to a new long-term companion. If he drew a strong and loyal ally, it would strengthen the Pandora Pirates. If it turned out to be a burden, it could create headaches later.
For a long moment, Rin struggled internally.
"Forget it,I'll wait a bit before opening it." Rin finally decided, tucking the glowing character summoning card safely into his space ring for now. He wanted to wait for a moment when his luck felt better.hoping that when he eventually used it, it would summon someone powerful enough to shake the world.
On the splint, the crew of the three Pandora Pirates were also resting, and at this time, Rin walked out.
"Captain, a little further ahead is the New World." Casa said to Rin, his voice calm but carrying a trace of excitement.
"Good." Rin looked at the sea ahead although the ship was still traveling underwater in the deep currents of the Grand Line, very soon they would ascend and emerge into the open sea of the New World, where true monsters roamed.
"And after arriving in the New World, the first place we will reach is the Kingdom of Dressrosa." Casa was seriously reporting to Rin about the rest of their trip, so that Rin could be mentally prepared for what was to come.
"Dressrosa?" Rin also had an impression of this kingdom in the long, intricate plot of One Piece, the Kingdom of Dressrosa was a tropical island with a strong resort-style atmosphere, known famously as the "Land of Love, Passion, and Toys." The coastline was surrounded by towering mushroom-shaped rock formations, and at this time in the original timeline, Donquixote Doflamingo then one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea ruled Dressrosa with an iron fist. He had established an underground factory there to mass-produce artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits known as "SMILE," in collusion with Caesar Clown and Kaido. After Doflamingo's eventual defeat by the Straw Hat Pirates and their allies, King Riku Doldo III was restored to the throne, and Dressrosa became a paradise of peace where humans and Tontatta Dwarves coexisted happily, eventually earning the name "the Fairyland of Love and Passion."
"That's right, it's said to be a fairy kingdom." Casa continued, showing that he still knew a fair amount about the legend and history of Dressrosa.
"That kingdom won't be full of fairies, will it?" Hearing Casa call Dressrosa the "Fairy Kingdom," Enel—who had no experience with anything beyond Skypiea and a few places in the Blue Sea asked with genuine confusion, imagining the island overrun with tiny flying creatures.
"It seems necessary to train hard because when we reach the Kingdom of Dressrosa, there will definitely be work to do." Rin ignored Enel's question, his gaze serious. He already knew that powerful enemies awaited them there most notably Doflamingo himself. In the One Piece story he had seen in his previous life, Doflamingo had returned to Dressrosa decades after his exile, accompanied by his top executives, the Donquixote Family Trebol, Diamante, Pica, and others, known by their "suit" codenames based on playing cards.
At that time, Doflamingo had approached King Riku Doldo III and extorted him for ten billion berries overnight under the threat of plunging the kingdom into chaos. King Riku, desperate to save his people, begged the citizens to donate all their valuables, but Doflamingo using the powers of the Ito Ito no Mi (String-String Fruit) manipulated King Riku like a puppet, forcing him to slaughter his own soldiers and civilians. He then staged a fake "liberation" to seize the throne, turning the once-proud Riku Family into wanted fugitives despised by the very people they had once ruled.
The Donquixote Family turned many of their enemies into living toys, using Sugar's Hobi Hobi no Mi, erasing all memories of them from people's minds. The dwarves of Tontatta Kingdom were enslaved, forced to labor in the underground SMILE factory. Nearby nations descended into conflict because of Dressrosa's destabilization, and through arms dealing and SMILE production, Doflamingo's criminal empire grew richer and deadlier.
And now Rin realized his crew would arrive right in the middle of these events. Doflamingo's dark hand would soon move, and Rin, a man who had already intervened to save Kuina from death, stopped the assassination of Queen Otohime, and eradicated Van der Decken IX's threat to Shirahoshi, could never stand by and allow Doflamingo to enslave another nation.
The answer was clear he would intervene.
No matter that Doflamingo was a Warlord of the Sea, just like he himself was nominally recognized now. No matter how dangerous it would be. Rin had already decided.he would stop Doflamingo's plans.
And more than that if possible he had a bolder idea: to capture Doflamingo and make him a forced member of the Pandora Pirates.
