Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Joining the Protagonist's Group

The raging seawater transformed into a hundred-meter-high wave like a colossal sea king opening its massive jaws to swallow Alvida's small pirate ship.

In an instant, the entire pirate ship was smashed to pieces!

Lin Bei floated in the sky, his eyes were a little numb, is this really something he can do?

He can't believe it himself!

With this ability, he dared to fight the Four Emperors directly.

So, this is the path of invincibility, right?

Lin Bei's heart was restless, and his mind became a mess.

Lin Bei's heart pounded his mind in chaos. He was just an ordinary person, but suddenly he had become someone capable of destroying entire worlds. Anyone would feel like they were dreaming in such a situation.

To put it in the words of a villain, "It's not that a god has descended, but rather the delusion of a dying man."

Lin Bei looked at his hands, gritted his teeth, and slapped his face.

Pain! It hurt a lot!

It was real!

This time, Lin Bei finally couldn't help but start laughing.

This time, Lin Bei couldn't help but laugh. He could already envision the scene where he would hug the Empress on the left, Nami on the right, lounging on Smoothie's long legs.

However, Lin Bei was a cautious and prudent person. 

Even in this crazy moment, he still thought of the reminder given to him by the system before.

[Get daily random superpower ]

He is very concerned about this sentence!

Did this mean his superpower would change every day, automatically switching to something new the next day?

"Now let's go through the introduction process," Lin Bei said aloud, but there was no response from the so-called system.

It felt like a single-player program—once a message was delivered, that was it. There was no AI to respond to him.

"Hey, can I keep just this one superpower? I don't need any others, okay?"

This time, the system displayed a prompt box:

[Complete today's task to lock in today's superpower.]

Lin Bei's eyes lit up. Finally, a response!

Complete a task? Just like in novels.

No problem. With such a strong ability, what task couldn't he complete?

"Bring it on! What task do I need to complete to lock in today's superpower?"

[Daily Task: Slap Big Mom! Complete the task to lock in today's superpower. Note: The task must be completed before midnight. After midnight, a new superpower will be randomly assigned.]

Lin Bei was silent, this was playing with him!

Was the system messing with him? Even if he could fly, how could he cross the Red Line twice, once for the Grand Line and once for the New World, to slap Big Mom? And even if he got there, how could he manage to slap her?

His power was strong, but he had no combat experience. Facing any opponent right now would be challenging.

"Can I get a different task?"

The dog-system remained silent.

Lin Bei sighed. It seemed he wouldn't be able to lock in his superpower. Who knew what ability he'd get the next day? If it was something without any combat use, what would he do then?

For now, he needed to find an island to land on quickly. The initial plan is to exploit any strong abilities to complete tasks and lock them in. If the abilities were weak, he'd stay hidden.

Deciding on a direction, Lin Bei started flying. No matter where he went, he'd eventually find land. He just had to find an island within a day, or he might fall into the sea with a new, useless power.

As he randomly picked a direction, a wooden barrel floated up from the sea below. Lin Bei frowned. The terrifying tsunami earlier should have shattered everything, including Alvida's ship. How did this barrel survive?

"Wait, a wooden barrel? This looks familiar..."

He had wondered if he had arrived just when Luffy made his appearance. But without seeing the pink-haired chubby boy or the guy with the straw hat on the ship, he dismissed the idea.

Now, seeing the barrel, Lin Bei felt it might contain the protagonist.

Should he send the barrel floating into space? If Luffy couldn't become the Pirate King, he could be a space pirate instead.

He smirked.

Before he could decide, the barrel's lid shattered, and a guy with a straw hat emerged, raising his fists into the air with joy.

"Yeah~ I thought I was dead, but I'm alive~"

A shivering pink-haired boy climbed out and immediately started retching. Judging by his expression, it seems that he is only alive and his soul is gone.

"Huh? Awseome!" The straw hat on his head was almost carried away by the wind. Holding it in place, he looked up and was amazed.

"You can fly in the sky without wings, hey~ Brother, did you do what you just did?You are so strong!"

Luffy shouted at Lin Bei with bright eyes.

Lin Bei hesitated whether to respond. Being unfamiliar with the world, joining the protagonist group might be beneficial. He knew the main storyline well, unlike the side stories. Plus, he couldn't even find a direction right now.

The point is, if he gets a very shitty power the next day, he'd have to hide. This world was too dangerous, and even hiding could be risky.

As for the protagonist Luffy, although his mind is often... disconnected, so to speak, there is one thing about him that is worthy of respect.

That is, as long as it is his partner, it doesn't matter if it is for thier sake, he will go up a mountain of swords or into a sea of ​​fire!

At least, life can be guaranteed...

"I did it. In order to prevent my pure body from being stained by that aunt, I had no choice but to explode."

Lin Bei floated in front of the two of them, and Luffy's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Luffy, always curious about interesting things like robots and transformations, laughed, "You're funny too! I like you! My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I am the man who is going to be the the Pirate King. You really fit my crew. Want to join?"

Koby quickly interjected, "Luffy, I have already said not to say such things casually. Someone who can do what he did wouldn't follow you!"

"Sure."

Koby: ...

Today, he met two seemingly crazy people who actually complemented each other well.
