On an uninhabited island in West Blue.
After eating the two devil fruit-boosting pills, that level improved slightly but still no grade change.
Currently, he was relaxing in a small river. He was utterly transformed into a diamond that did not detract from the purity of the place.
He had received a spot from the system upstream, which asked him to remain transformed in a 'river' for 1 hour. The reward was a G1 Physical Strengthening Elixir. Of course, his whole body was not under the water, and since it was fresh water, the fruit could still be used.
For him, this task was effortless with the endurance of his physique. He could largely last the 1 hour even if the consumption of his devil fruit were greater (than out of water) in water.
The rest of the crew did what they want: sports, rest, eat, drink, have fun (a card game, not sex), read, etc ....
"What has the captain been doing? He's been in the water for 1 hour?"
"I do not know."
"He said he was going to train his devil fruit a bit."
..
Sometime later, Joz came out of the river: it was already noon. He had completed the quest given by the system and had decided to give the elixir to Daz. For him, the elixir no longer had any effect (the elixir of G1), so you might as well give it to someone, and Daz is the best person, according to him.
He returned with his crew to the ship.
"Daz, you can come."
Daz joined Joz and continued: "Drink this."
He held out his hand to Daz with a small bottle/potion containing a golden liquid. Everyone was shocked and waited to see Daz consume this. After all, Joz wasn't going to poison his Nakama for no reason, so no one was anxious.
Daz drank it without hesitation, and he felt like an explosion in his body: an explosion of energy.
"WOW" Daz's eyes widened immediately after consuming the elixir, and you could see the shock of it on his face.
Joz was happy with his reaction. Daz used to be indifferent, so seeing another expression on his face that indifference was very interesting.
Soon after, Daz resumed his usual indifference even though he was having a little trouble calming down inside.
'A potion that improves the physique.'
"How do you feel?" asked Joz
slash
Daz pulled his sword out of its sheath and sliced through the air, and said excitedly: "I feel my body is 2 or 3 times stronger than before."
"Not bad!" Joz replied with a smile. He remembered that when he first took it, he felt ten times stronger. So he could determine that Daz's physique must now be at normal level 2 or 3 and that he was a normal one before the potion.
"EH???"
David and the rest of the crew were shocked to see this, their mouths wide open.
'An unknown product can make 2 or 3 times stronger.'
Seeing their reaction, Joz was proud he could motivate them with this potion.
"Captain us too ...."
"Only one bottle, unfortunately, but in the future for the most deserving."
Before they could even finish their sentence, Joz cut them off and gave them hope.
'They can have a potion like this in the future.
Robin's beautiful eyes were also surprised, and she looked at Joz strangely. For her, Joz was getting more and more enigmatic.
She had never seen this kind of drug that could directly improve people's fitness (Actually, Hody's crew had a similar pill but with extreme side effects).
Yet, she had read many books since she was little and had never heard of this potion.
If this were known to the world government, they would do anything to get it. After all, the world government was recruiting shishibukai to restrict the pirates and the navy, which is getting stronger and stronger with the three monster level admirals (Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji).
"This is our crew's secret. Remember that and don't tell anyone," Joz said.
"YES, CAPTAIN!"
Hearing Joz's words, the faces of the other crew members were beaming; they could still get strong thanks to this miracle potion. The training on the ship was paying but long and arduous. At least with this potion, they could get strong without any real effort, especially since their captain had just shown them a taboo secret, which proved that he had confidence in them.
Joz was not afraid that this would be discovered as no one would believe his crew's words except for Daz and Robin. His crew was compose of ordinary person. Many facts proved the existence of the sky islands, and yet very few people believed in them (Only the strong of the New World).
..
The naval headquarters were very efficient; in no time, Joz's bounty rose to 100 million Berry and was passed on to all branches of West Blue.
The West Blue Navy released Joz's new bounty, which shocked many people (West Blue).
"My god, a 100 million bounty, am I dreaming?"
"In two actions, his premium has become so high."
"He officially has the highest premium in West Blue."
"Does it depend on whether we counted the old big names?"
"Shanks also had a massive bounty on West Blue."
This bounty boiled all of West Blue.
Joz's reputation had grown even further, and his old bounty was about a week or more ago, so Joz was on the rise!
At the same time, many of the West Blue pirates frantically searched for Joz to kill and replace him. If they could kill him, they would have fame and fortune in no time.
Birds die for food and pirates for greed.
