Chapter 1

In the Frost Moon Village of the East China Sea, a young man holding a sword was swinging his wooden sword alone on the beach.

He struck with one sword after another

, but each sword was weak and powerless.

"Hey, that loser is practicing swordsmanship alone in the sea again"

"Yes, he is just a errand boy, but he has to pretend to learn how to practice swordplay."

"Does he really think he can achieve something famous with his skills?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

"

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

"" Ha...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha This makes Roger not suitable for sword training at all.

Not only is it not suitable, but sword training will also put too much burden on his body and cause early death!

Roger also speculated about this.

Maybe he did not simply come to this world with his soul.

Maybe he was even more unlucky.

(Roger is not a person who yearns for time travel) The family of the soul may also be one of the few families with weak bodies in One Piece.

So Roger, who was unable to accept hard training, was rejected by Koshiro.

But Roger was unwilling to do so, so he begged Koshiro to accept him with his stubbornness.

And promised that he would not force sword training, just to learn a little skill.

Koshiro looked at Roger's serious eyes and knew that Roger would never be willing to be ordinary.

But because of this, Koshiro was moved by his sincerity and accepted Roger as a handyman.

Allow Roger to practice sword with formal apprentices after finishing all the odd jobs (relatively easy jobs) in the dojo.

Koshiro did this, of course, not to exploit Roger, but to reduce the burden on Roger's hands through these odd jobs!

(The initial sword training is to swing the sword continuously in one action, and doing one action too much will cause pain in any part of the body.

You can try it.

) Increase his physical training and strengthen his body.

You should know that Rogge's father in this life was not a healthy person, but he still relied on his will and training to master the profession of fisherman.

""Hey, is Zoro here?!"

He wished that he was the one who defeated all the adults in the dojo at the age of just a few years old. (Except Koshiro)

Roger was a strong person in his previous life, always trying to be strong and not willing to be left behind, so he was very dissatisfied with his weakness in this life.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Roger coughed up blood because of long-term sword practice without permission.

Then the sword in his hand fell to the sea unconsciously.

Obviously, Koshiro's kindness became unnecessary.

"Ha, they say that a swordsman should cherish his sword and never let it go, but I can't even hold the sword in my hand because of my weak body."

He laughed at himself, then picked up the wooden hilt with shaking hands and turned to leave.

The sun set and the waves began to beat against the sea more crazily.

The tide was about to drown out all traces of Rogge's efforts, as if telling Rogge that his efforts would be worthless!

Ding! The host's great reluctance was detected, and the devil fruit upgrade system was activated.

Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement of swinging the sword for six years and being rewarded with 600 upgrade points.

System interface:

System level (1)

Function 1: Randomly upgrade ordinary fruits. The upgraded fruits can provide the host with increased physical strength, power and speed.

(Each upgrade consumes one upgrade point)

Function 2: Upgrade devil fruit abilities

(one upgrade consumes 100 points, two upgrades consume 500 points, three upgrades consume 1000 points, and four upgrades consume 5000 points)……）

"System? I didn't expect that I would have such a magical thing."

"System, why can ordinary fruits also be upgraded?"

Ding! Because the devil fruit itself is an item produced by ordinary fruits.

(Refer to the setting selected by Caesar's artificial devil fruit）

"So how do you earn upgrade points?"

Ding! The system will issue achievement tasks, and completing the tasks will earn you different amounts of achievement points.

"Can the system be upgraded?"

Rogge carefully discovered the system level.

Ding! Yes, the host uses 1,000 upgrade points, and the system will be upgraded to level two. The points required for future system upgrades will be different, and it will be displayed when the system is upgraded to the next level. And after the system is upgraded, the original functions will be added or upgraded.

I see.

But I don't have a devil fruit, so the second function is temporarily useless to me.

But even if there is only the first function, it can bring me a lot of help.

At least I won't be unable to practice swords for a long time because of my weak body.

Strong! Here I come!

With his determination to become stronger, Rogge gradually quickened his pace and ran towards home.

It has been a long time since I saw the dawn of hope.

It has also been a long time since I was ridiculed by those apprentices in front of others.

……

"I'm back."

Rogge has a father and a mother, and no other brothers and sisters.

And Rogge's relationship with his father is average.

The reason for this is that Rogge is stubborn and insists on learning swordsmanship.

"I'll go eat when I get back."

Knowing that Roger was secretly alone again���The father of the sword till night, Fellowes Gale (name), said lightly

"Come back and have a good meal. Mother made you your favorite grilled fish."

Mother said to Roger in a completely different attitude from his father.

""Yeah."

Roger tried his best to smile on his face, which was gradually becoming expressionless, and responded to his mother.

Baji, Baji...

Because of his weak body, Roger developed an appetite for meat.

So the only grilled fish on the table was eaten up by Roger in a few bites.

"Humph! What's the point of eating so much? You're just wasting the nutrients you eat on useless things."

Father was very dissatisfied with Roger's big appetite.

"I'm full."

He didn't want to argue with his family. Instead of talking to his father about his desire to become stronger, he would rather wait in silence until he became stronger and show them his results.

Roger already had his own way of communicating with stubborn parents.
