Chapter 8: Purchasing Skills?
Minos was very puzzled that the system panel only showed the strength of a lieutenant general, and not even an elite lieutenant general.
He possesses an exceptionally strong physique and intermediate-level three-color Haki. If not admiral-level strength, he is at least a near-admiral-level strength!
Ding! This system has received a question from the host.
Ding! The host is currently an empty shell, possessing strength but unable to unleash its full potential.
Well, Minos was speechless at the system's answer.
He certainly has immense strength, but he doesn't know how to use it; he only knows how to rely on brute force.
Ding! The host doesn't even have a single signature move yet, and his use of power is also very crude.
Uh, Minos was speechless again after seeing the system's notification. Not only did he lack a signature move, he didn't even have a basic technique. No wonder his strength only reached the lieutenant general level.
Minos had no choice but to swallow his pride and ask the system, "Master System, how can I acquire special skills now? Should I buy them from the system shop, or cultivate them myself?"
Ding! The host can buy these skills in the system shop. Moreover, the host will fully master the skills purchased from the system shop and will not experience any unfamiliarity with them.
*Ding!* Of course, the host can also cultivate on their own. However, this system currently does not recommend that you cultivate on your own, because mastering a powerful skill requires a very long period of time.
Minos was surprised by the system's response. He had originally planned to diligently practice a special skill, but after hearing the system's suggestion, he had to abandon that idea for now.
"Hey system! What amazing skills does this system shop have? Open it up and let me see!" Minos urged the system.
Minos really wanted to improve his strength so that he could roam freely in the pirate world.
Upon arriving in this pirate world, Minos understood that without strength, everything was just empty talk. Only with strength could he obtain what he desired.
Ding! The system store has been opened. Please check it out.
Upon hearing the system's words, Minos immediately used his consciousness to look at the system shop.
At this point, the system shop already contained many unique skills, no longer a blank slate.

……
Minos saw so many skills from the anime world, and he wanted them all! But looking at the kill points required, he could only drool silently, which made him want to go and kill again to earn more kill points.
He only has 4,000 kill points, how can he buy anything!
"Am I only allowed to buy the Navy's Six Styles?!" This made Minos extremely unwilling. Who could understand the feeling of being able to watch a super technique right in front of you without being able to kill it?
Minos, his eyes bloodshot, anxiously pleaded with the system, "Master System! Could you please provide some techniques that I can afford? Aside from one Marine Six Styles and one Fire Release technique, I can't afford any of the others!"
Ding! Request received from the host. The system is currently searching.
Minos watched the system searching, feeling extremely uneasy.
He could only hope that he could afford the ultimate skill; otherwise, he would have no choice but to go on a killing spree. A fierce glint flashed in Minos's eyes as he thought of this.
While Minos was still pondering, the system reacted.
Ding! The skills that the host can currently purchase have been found.
Ding! Navy Six Styles maxed out (only one style is available; if you choose the Finger Pistol, you will receive powerful special moves such as the Monkey King Spear after purchasing it): 4000 kill points.
Ding! Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist (Low-end version): 4000 kill points.
Ding, a standard punch (low-end version): 4000 kill points.
Ding! Wolf Fang Wind Fist (Low-end version): 4000 kill points.
Ding! Pegasus Meteor Fist (Low-end version): 4000 kill points.
……
Uh, Minos really wants all these amazing techniques! Especially the Flowing Water Rock-Smashing Fist and the Normal Punch, they're perfect for his current situation!
Although the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is only a low-end version, if he obtains it now, his strength will increase significantly, and his attack power will also be enhanced. At that time, he will at least be at the level of a quasi-general.
In the One-Punch Man world, Bang's Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist is incredibly powerful, a fist technique that combines offense and defense. And the ordinary One-Punch Man is even more formidable; it's Saitama's signature move. Don't let the corny name fool you, this punch is anything but ordinary, capable of making someone question their very existence.
Although both are low-end versions, they are very suitable for the current Minos.
After a brief deliberation, Minos decided to purchase the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, as it was a powerful technique that combined offense and defense, perfectly suited to him in the world of One Piece. While other techniques were also powerful, the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist was currently the only one suitable for him.
Thinking about all this, Minos said to the system, "Hey system, buy me the Water Stream Rock Smash Fist."
Ding! A purchase request has been received from the host. Please wait.
Ding! You have purchased the Water Stream Rock Smash Fist. Simply use it now.
Ding! Since the host has consumed 4000 kill points, there are now 400 kill points remaining.
Minos looked at his remaining 400 kill points and felt a deep sense of desolation. The kill points he had just accumulated were gone in an instant. Who could understand the pain of this? (It's like receiving your salary right away. It hasn't even warmed your hands yet, but you have something you absolutely need to buy, and it's all gone in a flash. Who wouldn't feel the pain?)
Minos only felt a pang of regret for a moment, after all, buying the Water Stream Rock Smash Fist would increase his strength and allow him to survive in the pirate world.
Minos, thinking about all this, could only console himself: money can be earned back, kill points can be earned back, but once life is gone, it's truly gone.
Minos took a deep breath, deciding to ignore it all. He stopped looking at the kill count and silently practiced the Fusion Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist.
The moment the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist merged into Minos's body, Minos felt his physique and strength change once again.
After the complete fusion, Minos's consciousness emerged from the system panel. He carefully sensed his own strength and indeed felt much stronger, without the floating sensation he had before.
Minos could feel that his use of power was becoming more proficient, especially his fist techniques.
Minos laughed inwardly; this time he had truly become stronger.
