Originally, Pryce thought that bringing out the Zanpakuto would be a tricky affair.
After all, according to the original setting in the Bleach universe, the strength of a Zanpakuto is tied to the user soul.
Pryce racked his brains and concluded that the only form of soul training in this world was the Observation Haki, which, strictly speaking, belongs to the mental realm!
Perhaps the only ones with any connection to the soul were Perona, who ate the Ghost-Ghost Fruit, and Big Mom one of the Four Emperors, who possesses the Soul-Soul Fruit.
If Pryce were to craft Zanpakuto specifically for these two, he'd truly be out of his mind!
However, the cost of crafting a Zanpakuto was quite steep, A single sword required 100 million Berries And the system demanded that Pryce produce at least a thousand Zanpakutos.
That meant spending a whopping 100 billion Berries, Such an amount was beyond the reach of even the Whitebeard Pirates, But Pryce had some funds on hand so he decided to craft a few for now and take it step by step.
At this moment, Pryce noticed that he had accumulated a significant amount of crafting points, The long-awaited Diamond Ten-Draw was finally unlocked.
After his battle with Admiral Kizaru, Pryce realized that while he could handle Kizaru attacks, defeating him was absolutely out of the question, At best, he could only defend himself against an Admiral assault.
Such strength was far from sufficient!
Pryce wasn't a mad scientist obsessed solely with inventing new gadgets.
He knew that the inventions he'd acquired from the system had already significantly altered this world and as his crafting deepened, the number of world-changing tools would only increase.
The saying "A common man only crime is possessing a treasure" was something Pryce understood all too well.
Though the Whitebeard Pirates were formidable, no single force could withstand the covetous eyes of others!
Moreover, it's not the thief you fear, but the thief' constant scheming.
Pryce wasn't being arrogant, but if he sought the protection of a new faction, countless forces would be eager to recruit him.
The other Yonko crews aside, both the World Government and the Revolutionary Army would undoubtedly covet him and Pryce knew the darker side of human nature—if they couldn't have him, they'd destroy him.
Thus, the top priority was to enhance his own strength!
True strength lies within oneself!
Without hesitation, Pryce entered the system. He initiated the long-awaited Diamond Ten-Draw.
"Would you like to activate the Diamond Ten-Draw?" The system electronic voice rang out.
A confirmation dialog box popped up.
Pryce didn't hesitate and clicked confirm.
Instantly, ten diamond-shaped rewards appeared!
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for achieving a breakthrough in physical strength to the profound level!"
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for achieving a breakthrough in Armament Haki to the profound level!"
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for achieving a breakthrough in Observation Haki to the profound level!"
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for reaching the pinnacle in Magma Fruit development!"
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for a critical breakthrough in Glint-Glint Fruit development, reaching the mid-level peak!"
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for achieving the pinnacle of Conqueror's Haki proficiency!"
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for receiving a critical reward—the Azure Dragon Fruit!"
Pryce heart leaped with joy—it was actually the Azure Dragon Fruit!
"Detecting the system owner Pryce query, this fruit is indeed the legendary fruit—the Mythical Zoan-type Azure Dragon Fruit!" The system electronic voice chimed in at the right moment.
This statement startled Pryce! He had actually unlocked the legendary Azure Dragon Fruit!
"What exactly is this Azure Dragon Fruit?" Pryce asked, still puzzled.
"In the legends of this world, at the eastern end of the New World, there lies a vast and mysterious continent!"
"Once, four divine beasts guarded the four directions there!"
"And one of them was the Azure Dragon!"
"For example, Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates possesses the Phoenix Fruit, a variant of the divine beast Phoenix!"
"And what you have obtained this time is the genuine Azure Dragon Fruit!" The system electronic voice continued to explain.
Pryce even felt as if he could detect a hint of pride in the system tone!
Now, there was only one draw left. What would the final reward be?
"Congratulations to the system owner, Pryce, for a critical breakthrough in Armament Haki!"
Hearing this, Pryce felt a bit disappointed.
His Armament Haki had already reached the profound level, and further improvement wasn't as exciting as obtaining another fruit! But at that moment, the system suddenly spoke up.
"Detecting that the system owner Pryce Armament Haki has reached the profound level, the second level of Haki—Ryuo—is now automatically unlocked!" Upon hearing this, Pryce immediately became excited!
Ordinary Armament Haki only hardens a part of the body, enhancing attack and defense capabilities by one level.
However, Ryuo not only achieves the above functions but can also attack enemies from a distance! This was equivalent to gaining an even more formidable long-range attack method!
Moreover, the strength of his Armament Haki would likely increase significantly!
All ten diamond rewards had been revealed!
Pryce was overjoyed, There was a reason why the diamond draw was so expensive!
Unlocking the Azure Dragon Fruit in one go means that the abilities Kaido possesses are naturally his as well and not just equal, but definitely stronger than kaido.
Pryce curiously looked at the golden fruit in his hand, which exuded an aura of dragon majesty!
