"Raynor! What have you done? How could you ruin your clothes like this!"
"Speaking of which, why aren't you training at the Marine base like you should be? Why have you been coming here every day recently?!"
The bar owner, Aunt Shea, recognized him the moment she saw him.
He was a homeless kid who grew up in the town!
Raynor!
A year ago, Raynor joined the Marine base in town and became a first-class Marine soldier under Captain Morgan.
But for some reason, he's been visiting my bar almost every day for the past two weeks!
And every time he comes!
He asks if any strangers have been here.
Because he had just finished his last lap on the training ground, Raynor's clothes were covered in blood and dirt.
He looked a little disheveled!
Seeing Raynor's dirty appearance, Aunt Shea felt a pang of sympathy.
Raynor is probably broke and powerless, so he must be getting bullied at the base, that's why he keeps coming out to eat!
"Ah, Aunt Shea, hurry up and make me some food, I'm starving!"
"Please give me 20 snowflake steaks! 30 bowls of ramen!"
"50 baked chicken pizzas! 100 beef hamburgers!"
"Ah, do you have roast duck and fried chicken? Give me 10 of each!"
"Oh, and 20 bottles of cola for drinks!"
Raynor quickly rattled off the dishes as he plopped down at a table!
He was about to faint from hunger!
"Okay, you wait, I'll have the waiter bring the food right away!"
Aunt Shea nodded immediately.
Raynor is a regular customer and has a certain amount of credit at the bar, so she's not worried about him not being able to pay!
Then, she quickly ordered the kitchen to start making Raynor's food!
...
At the same time, while waiting for the food, Raynor opened his stats screen in his mind.
He opened his space bag and focused on the "Treasure Creation Chance"!
"System, use the 2 Treasure Creation Chances!"
Raynor took a deep breath and said silently in his heart.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 free Treasure Creation Chances!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for randomly drawing six Treasure blueprints!"
In his mind, the icon of the Myriad Realms Treasure Mirror suddenly lit up!
Raynor opened the Myriad Realms Treasure Mirror!
He saw that there were six item blueprints inside, with a manufacturing prompt appearing.
[Twelve Talismans - Pig]: Possesses magical powers, granting the holder the super power of the Chinese zodiac pig, characteristic: dazzling electric eyes.
[Thousand-Forged Steel Sword - Gan Jiang]: A divine weapon forged by a master swordsmith, characteristic: cuts iron like mud, flawless treasure blade, blessed with divine power.
[Evil Containment Wave - Rice Cooker]: Under the Evil Containment Wave, gods and demons cannot escape, a sealing artifact, characteristic: requires sacrificing your life after use.
[Thousand-Year Soul Bone - Left Arm Bone]: A relic left behind after a soul beast dies, possessing special power, characteristic: power-type soul bone, can increase the user's strength by 5 times.
[Bamboo Copter]: Just wear it on your head to control flight at will with your mind, no need for extra power, characteristic: go wherever you want.
[Twelve Talismans - Rabbit]: Possesses magical powers, granting the holder the super power of the Chinese zodiac rabbit, characteristic: extreme speed teleportation.
"Hmm, it seems the treasures the system specifies are all of good quality!"
After browsing the treasures in the Myriad Realms Treasure Mirror that could be created, Raynor fell into thought.
In Raynor's opinion, apart from the Bamboo Copter and the Evil Containment Wave, the other four were very useful to him!
"However, now that the system is activated, the most important thing for me right now is to increase my strength!"
"But according to the system panel, my physical skills and swordsmanship levels are both Zero, meaning I know nothing!"
"Then the best choice to quickly improve my combat power is the talismans!"
Raynor focused his mind on the two Twelve Zodiac Talismans.
Extreme speed teleportation!
Dazzling electric eyes!
One for speed, one for attack!
Hmm!
If I could have these two talismans, I'd have some self-defense power in the pirate world!
"System, create the Pig Talisman and the Rabbit Talisman!"
In the end!
Raynor made up his mind and had the system start creating the treasures.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the two talismans have been added to the Myriad Realms Treasure Mirror, the host can extract and use them at any time!"
Raynor smiled when he heard this and opened the Myriad Realms Treasure Mirror!
Sure enough!
The blueprints for the two talismans had turned into physical objects!
"Truly flawless, artful treasures!"
After carefully observing the talismans, Raynor couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"The food is here!"
At this moment, the bar's waiter placed the dishes one by one in front of Raynor.
"I'm starting to eat!"
Raynor, who was extremely hungry, forgot about the excitement of getting the talismans the moment he smelled the food!
He grabbed a pat of buttered steak and put it in his mouth, not caring that the food was still hot from the pan!
Next, Raynor devoured the food like crazy, and when he got excited, he even swung his arms like windmills!
Gradually, the noise of the customers in the bar disappeared.
Almost all the customers!
Were watching Raynor eating like crazy!
They looked incredulous!
At this time, Raynor didn't care about other people's opinions at all.
He focused wholeheartedly on eating, and constantly used his mind to circulate Life Return, replenishing his depleted energy.
"Burp~"
About thirty minutes later, Raynor let out a satisfied burp and patted his stomach!
He was finally full!
"Raynor, are you, are you okay? Can your body handle eating so much?"
Aunt Shea handed Raynor a stack of napkins and looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine, Aunt Shea, I've just been training too hard lately!"
"By the way, where's Rika? I haven't seen her helping out here today."
Raynor wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked around the bar, and asked.
Rika is Aunt Shea's only daughter!
Actually, the reason why Raynor paid attention to her was that she had a special identity - the little girl who brought food to Zoro in the original story.
As Captain Morgan's subordinate, three weeks ago, Raynor found a man tied up in the Marine base's square.
A man who willingly tied himself to the square, making a deal to live for a month!
It was the pirate bounty hunter - Roronoa Zoro!
The Straw Hat Pirates' first crew member!
The reason why Raynor had been camping out at the bar almost every day for the past half month!
Was because as an old pirate fan, he wanted to witness the historic moment of Zoro joining the crew through Rika!
"Ri, Rika, made some rice balls today and went to the Marine base to see our benefactor!"
After hearing Raynor's question, Aunt Shea moved closer to his ear and answered in a low voice, afraid of being heard by others.
After all, everyone in town knew that the man named Roronoa Zoro had offended Captain Morgan's spoiled son!
If Rika went to bring food to Zoro and others found out!
Someone might inform on her!
Raynor was a child Shea had watched grow up, and he had always been very nice to Rika, so she hesitated before telling him!
"Hmm?!!!"
Raynor's heart skipped a beat.
Doesn't this mean?
Today is the day Luffy and Zoro meet?!
"It seems I have to go back to the Marine base immediately!"
To be honest, Raynor didn't want to miss the historic moment of Luffy and Zoro meeting.
"Damn, I'm so hungry, treat us to a free meal!"
Before Raynor could pay and leave, a nasty voice suddenly rang out from outside the bar.
"Hmm? Isn't that Mad Dog Raynor? What are you doing here?!"
Raynor looked up and saw a blond man in a purple suit walking in with an extremely arrogant gait.
Behind him were two Marine soldiers!
"Helmeppo!"
Raynor's eyes narrowed.
This guy is Captain Morgan's son from the Marine G-153 branch base!
In Shells Town, Helmeppo had always been taking advantage of the power of his father, Morgan, acting like a bully!
