Chapter 1 Character selection

Mike was at home playing a game.

His mother Kalista and father Tom were watching a romantic film, enjoying their weekend holiday.

While the whole world was enjoying a sweet Sunday, something suddenly appeared in front of each person.

[announcement to all players!!

Many monsters and unusual phenomena will appear in the world.

All systems above the medieval level in the world will be disabled and only simple weapons with cluster bullets will be used.

Each player can choose a One Piece character to become stronger and gain a certain power.

Choosing a character does not mean that you get the character's powers.

The rarity of the character changes the power gained per level, but the requirement to level up will also increase. Legendary x8, Unique x6, Rare x4, Elit x2.

Rarer characters have room to add more power-ups.

Power-ups doesn't mean skill, it means special powers, like devil fruit.

Legendary characters can receive 7 power-up. Unique 6, rare 5, elite 4, normal 3.

Each power-up has its own level and rarity. Normal lvl20 elite lvl40 rare lvl60 unique lvl80 legendary lvl100.

The maximum level of each rarity is indicated.

You cannot equip equipment and power-ups below your character rarity. The Legendary character cannot use unique level equipment and power-ups.

You can change the power-up, but each time you change it, it starts at level 1 and the old one disappears. If you want to get the old power-up back, you have to get it again.

You can do a dungeon quest every day. You can team up with no one, a random team or your team. When you pass a dungeon, another dungeon opens. Each dungeon has more than one difficulty. Rewards increase according to difficulty. Playing solo is also considered a factor that increases difficulty. You can do a dungeon every day. Dying in the dungeon will not harm you, but you cannot enter the dungeon for a week. When the dungeon is completed, each participant in the dungeon receives a treasure chest and draws a reward. The consequences of deliberately harming your teammates in the dungeon can rise to the level of permanent expulsion from the dungeon]

Mike was surprised to see this and immediately stopped playing and understood all the rules.

"Getting stronger with a low rarity character is guaranteed, but if you choose a high rarity character, you must make an extreme effort." Mike thought what to do.

Meanwhile, his parents stopped watching the film and suddenly came to Mike's room.

"Mike, did you see that? How should we make a choice?" His mother asked thoughtfully.

"Mike, you play a lot of games, what should be the ideal approach?" His father asked.

Mike looked at his parents and came to his true conclusion.

"If I was playing a game, I would choose a legendary character no matter what. If it's a game where I can't change characters afterwards, and the gap between them is too wide, then only one choice is possible." Mike thought it over and pointed to the only choice.

"I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure if being the strongest is our goal?" His mum wasn't sure what to think.

"What my son says makes sense, in the future there may be a class division between weak and strong players. If we choose an ordinary character, we can make them really strong, but there is a limit, and maybe there will be more powerful legendary level players as time progresses." His father understood the maths.

[Legendary characters: WhiteBeard, Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Luffy ...]

[Unique characters: Buggy, Momonga, Hina, Smoker...]

[Rare characters: Dojo master,...]

[Elite characters: Dojo student,...]

[Ordinary characters: Sailor, Pirate, Peasant...]

"All known characters are either legendary or unique, which makes our job easier. I choose WhiteBeard, I like him a lot and he is very powerful." Mike said.

"I'm going with the pirate hook guy. He looks like an Italian mafia guy." His dad said.

"Pick Kozuki Hiyori, Boa Hancock and Nico Robin." His mum couldn't decide between the three.

"I think Kozuki Hiyori looks good." Her father said.

"No, I think Nico Robin, Boa Hancock is known for her beauty, but Robin is one of the scariest women in this sea." Mike wasn't sure if Robin actually surpassed her in power, but if a spy wasn't enough to scare people, what was.

All three of them chose from legendary characters.

[Congratulations on completing the selection]
