On the shallow beach, a large amount of broken wood was scattered about, along with a great deal of glittering treasure.
All of this had been plundered by the giant bird from other places and stored in its nest. Due to the earlier impact, the broken wood that made up the nest and the vast amount of treasure had been blasted to various parts of the island.
Now, this treasure completely captured the attention of these pirates.
With a cheer, the pirates swarmed off the ship, their faces alight with excitement as they searched for the treasure.
These excited fellows seemed to have forgotten about the burning island before them.
The giant bird was no longer struggling. Flames poured out from within its body, and everything around it had been turned into a raging inferno.
This was the power of a Logia Type user!
Even Cyrus, who had just eaten the fruit, could control flames powerful enough to kill such a ferocious beast.
Even though the giant bird's physique was sufficiently strong, it had no resistance whatsoever to the flames erupting from within its body.
The orange flames converged at the burning bird's head. Then, a hand suddenly reached out from the giant beak, grabbing the edge of it.
Then, Cyrus, wreathed in flames, climbed out.
The orange flames draped over him like a cloak. Under the influence of the fire, his black hair seemed to turn orange, dancing and fluttering with the flames.
[Ding! Elite-level enemy killed. Datafication initiating...]
Cyrus, still reeling from the series of events, was startled by the sudden message in his mind.
Datafication?
"Is it a system?"
He was no stranger to what a system was. Now that transmigration had happened, having a system seemed perfectly reasonable!
Elite enemy?
Does it mean this big bird?
Cyrus turned to look at the still-burning giant bird, a flash of understanding in his mind.
[Datafication successful. Open data panel?]
"Yes!"
Another prompt sounded. Cyrus confirmed without any hesitation.
After his confirmation, a relatively simple panel appeared before his eyes.
...
[Body Datafication: Your vital points have been eliminated. When attacked, damage is converted into HP deduction; panel attributes will change based on your own strength; you will not die until your HP reaches zero.]
[Current Body Age: 14]
[Constitution: 1.7 (Undergoing rapid transformation due to certain influences)]
[Current HP: 91% (Recovering; eating can speed up recovery)]
[Inherent Talent (Indomitable): When HP reaches zero, you enter a brief enhanced state; all your body attributes are increased tenfold; your HP will no longer be deducted; all your negative statuses are cleared; Current Duration: 10 minutes; Cooldown: 1 day]
[Abilities]
[Flame-Flame Fruit (Initial Mastery): A powerful Logia Type fruit ability, granting the ability to transform into and control fire; continuously strengthens the body; fruit weaknesses have been eliminated (weaknesses and parasitic soul); Current Fruit Development (Weak)]
...
"Did I just get a legendary weapon?"
Cyrus stroked his chin, his focus on his own talent.
The effect of Indomitable was incredibly powerful. It meant entering a ten-minute invincible state upon receiving a fatal blow.
The most amazing part was the ten-minute, tenfold boost to all body attributes.
Doesn't this mean he could pull off a comeback kill with a sliver of health?
As for the elimination of his body's weaknesses, Cyrus thought about it and realized it was a perfect fit for his Logia ability.
A Logia Type user is, in a way, also someone whose weaknesses have disappeared, but it's not foolproof against opponents skilled in Haki or with abilities that counter yours.
It is in those moments that the power of having no weaknesses would truly shine.
But no matter how he looked at it, Cyrus had only three words to describe his body datafication.
Too strong!
After taking a fatal blow, he could enter a ten-minute invincible state, during which all his attributes would be increased tenfold, and he wouldn't lose any more health.
This talent would become more and more terrifying as he grew stronger.
Of course, the power of body datafication didn't stop there.
The elimination of vital points was also extremely powerful. An attack on a vital point would only forcibly deduct a portion of his HP; conventional weak spots like the heart would be gone.
And his HP would automatically recover, with eating speeding up the process.
In just this short while, his HP had already recovered from 91% to 96%, and it was about to be full.
Of course, the changes to his condition were definitely not limited to just these. He would probably have to explore the details slowly later on.
But what he understood now had already made Cyrus very satisfied, or rather, it had far exceeded his expectations.
If a short while ago, when Cyrus obtained the Flame-Flame Fruit, he was thinking of living a quiet and stable life in this world, then now, with this confidence, he might as well try to challenge the top powerhouses of the seas.
A person's ambition always changes with their own strength.
Of course, the immediate priority was to figure out where he was and how to continuously grow stronger.
Cyrus looked at the flames burning around him, smelled the aroma of charred flesh and thick smoke in the air, and strode forward.
The world of One Piece, I'm here!
A moment later, Cyrus, having walked out of the large area enveloped in flames, found himself in a staring contest with pirates who had come searching for scattered treasure.
His Elemental Transformation was not deactivated. The burning flames danced around Cyrus's body like a large, orange-red coat.
The pirates who saw this scene swallowed hard.
"A demon! It's a demon of the seas!"
Low-level pirates like these had never even heard of Devil Fruits.
A man wreathed in flames was clearly beyond their comprehension.
"Bastard, what demon? He obviously found some treasure!"
A disheveled pirate gripping a gleaming cutlass walked over with a dozen or so underlings, staring at the flame-wreathed Cyrus.
Cyrus's eyes also sized them up, then looked past them toward the pirate ship moored by the shore.
So this was a specialty of the One Piece world.
An endless stream of pirates who set sail for all sorts of reasons.
He hadn't seen any pirate ships around the island from the bird's nest above earlier. They were probably drawn here by the blazing fire.
What surprised Cyrus, however, was that he could understand what these pirates were saying.
Was it because of the data-fication, or was it a perk of transmigration?
The thought spun in Cyrus's mind for a moment before he dismissed it.
Because a cutlass was already pressed against his neck.
"Kid, hand over the treasure you found, and the great Lord Doru will spare your life and let you board my ship."
"So, great Lord Doru, do you have a bounty?"
Cyrus glanced at the blade on his neck and asked calmly.
"Of course! I'm a great pirate with a bounty of 2,500,000 Belly! In this East Blue, I'm already the strongest."
Two and a half million Belly?
Cyrus smiled.
And just like that, the startup capital has arrived!
