In the year 1518 of the Haiyuan calendar, East China Sea, the 18th branch of the Navy.

It is said to be a naval branch, but in fact it is an uninhabited island with a house that is not very big and can barely accommodate people.

Looking at the dilapidated house behind him and the plaque that read the 18th Navy Branch, Li Yan sighed slightly.

It has been three years since I traveled to this pirate world. At the beginning, I did get a system just like in the novel, a system called God's Choice.

Relying on this system, after going through several choices, I quickly gained strength and successfully joined the Navy, the largest violent organization in the pirate world.

The subsequent development was also smooth. With the help of the system, he quickly emerged in the elite training camp of the headquarters, and was even called the seed of the next generation of navy generals by Chief Instructor Zefa.

then...

Li Yan was confused.

A year ago, when Zefa began to teach Li Yan domineering, a new divine selection appeared in front of Li Yan.

And Li Yan made the wrong choice in order to win the biggest reward.

[Awakening the Armed Color Haki within one month, and upon reaching it, you will be rewarded with the awakening of the Wisdom Color and the Overlord Color.]

[Awakening the Armed Color Haki within one year, and upon reaching it, you will be rewarded with the Awakening of the Knowledge Color.]

[Give up your choice, and the system will not issue new choices within one year.]

Obviously, considering himself to be the chosen one, he chose the first one. As long as he achieves it, he can achieve the three colors of domineering in one step.

However...

Li Yan failed!

Without the help of the system, it would not be so easy to awaken one's domineering power. Do you really think that you have the aura of the protagonist?

Although this divine selection system is very powerful, it also has one and only one rule. Once the selection is not achieved...

The system is directly unbound and all rewards obtained by the host based on the system are recovered!

In this way, Li Yan went directly from the chief of the elite training camp to the last one. Except for the physical fitness he usually gained through self-training, all the other abilities obtained through the system disappeared, and even the memory of these abilities disappeared.

And the experience is gone.

For example, the comprehensive Navy Six Styles...

For example, the level of swordsmanship in the swordsman realm...

Another example...

In short, after the system was untied, Li Yan's strength dropped directly to the level of a captain in his headquarters.

This incident even shocked the entire navy headquarters, and even Marshal Sengoku came to the training camp in person to learn about the situation.

Maybe I don't know the Sixth Marine Style, maybe I'm just pretending, maybe I don't know Kendo, maybe I just pretend, but...

You can't fake your physical fitness. After some tests, it was confirmed that Li Yan's current physical condition is even worse than that of a major in his headquarters.

Although no one knew what this weird situation was about, the Warring States Period, Zefa and Garp still comforted Li Yan and told him that he would have to start over again in the worst case.

After all, Li Yan's talent was obvious to all, and the Warring States Period would not simply give up on this genius who was once hailed as the seed of a general.

Anyway, Li Yan is still young, so just think of it as a waste of two years and learn everything again.

However, just as all his abilities mysteriously disappeared, Li Yan's "talent" also disappeared...

After all, without a system, is it really that easy to learn the power system of the pirate world?

After nearly a year, I haven't even mastered one move or six postures again, let alone the way of kendo.

But after all, he was his favorite disciple. Even if he died due to such inexplicable reasons, Zefa still licked his face to find the results of the battle and left him a way out.

In the end, Warring States General Li Yan was transferred to the 18th Navy Branch, the East China Sea Branch that was originally ready to be abandoned...

For Zefa, this is the only thing he can do for his once most proud disciple.

Since you can't regain your powerful talents and strength, then go and serve in the safest branch. At least your life will be safe, right?

Although the location of the Eighteenth Branch is very remote, there are not even many islands around it. Even pirates are not interested in visiting here. It can be said that there is almost no danger.

only...

This branch, which was originally ready to be abandoned and all the naval forces had been withdrawn long ago, is now the only one on such a large island! Li Yan!

A one-man branch, a base commander with no subordinates, and a branch colonel who obtained the rank of colonel for himself through teachers.

This really made Li Yan unable to be happy.

Am I just going to have to rot here like this for the rest of my life?

As a time traveler, how could he be willing to do so?

[Ding, it’s detected that the host has its own base, and the strongest base system is being bound!]

[Ding, the binding of the strongest base system is completed, it is detected that the host belongs to the naval system, and the naval base template is opened! 】

[Ding, the navy template has been unlocked, please check it as soon as possible and become familiar with the functions of this system!]

On the coast, Li Yan was stunned as he looked at the turbulent waves rolling toward him in the distance.

I don’t have auditory hallucinations. Is it really a system?

After one system is unbundled, can a second system appear?

"system?"

【Ding, what's wrong with the host?】

"Are you really the system?"

[Ding, host, please don’t ask such boring questions again!]

Really...it's real!

At this moment, Li Yan was so excited that his eyes were wet.

God knows how he got through this year, God knows how desperate he felt after being sent here, God knows...

But, it's all over, and I have a chance to start over again!

"Open the system panel!"

He made a fist with his right hand and said in his mind.

This was not the first time he had a system. Li Yan was no stranger to how to use this kind of thing.

【Ding, the system panel has been opened.】

Just like wearing AR glasses, a system panel appeared in front of Li Yan without affecting his vision.

There are nine modules in the panel, but five of them are gray and cannot be seen or operated. As for the four activated modules, they are personnel management, base construction, scientific and technological research, and mission systems!

Soon, Li Yan clicked on all four modules to learn more about them.

Personnel management: You can view the detailed attributes and military merits of all personnel in the base. This is a very useful function for Li Yan. With this, he can better manage his subordinates.

However, now there is no one else in this module except myself.

【Li Yan】

[Military rank: colonel]

[Position: Base Commander of the 18th Donghai Branch of the Navy]

[Power value: 36]

[Martial arts level: Lv.2 (41%)]

[Swordsmanship level: Lv.0 (52%)]

[Three colors of domineering: armed color Lv.0, knowledge color Lv.0, overlord color Lv.0]

[Devil Fruit: None]

[Exclusive Features: None]

[Skill: Sixth Naval Style·Shaving Lv.0 (37%)]

[Merit value: 0]

This is really weak. Look at the shaving among the six postures. I have been practicing for a whole year after losing the system, but the completion rate is only 37%, and it is still out of reach even for beginners.

No wonder when I watched One Piece in my previous life, there were only a few people who could use the Six Styles even in the main unit. I’m afraid that my progress is a normal manifestation of ordinary people practicing the Six Styles hard, right?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Yan opened the base construction module again.

Base construction: This is not mentioned, it is the function of infrastructure. You can use the system to draw drawings and let people from the Pirate World build it, or you can directly entrust the system to build it.

Even materials can be provided by the system, as long as you have enough merit points, and these merit points can be obtained by relying on tasks or by base personnel fighting pirates.

As for my current self...

You just saw it in the attribute panel. The merit value is 0. If you are a poor man, you can't afford to build anything. Let's quickly take a look at other functions!

Technology research: Use merit points to exchange for technology. You can also use the system to research or local researchers to research. The difference is that entrusting system research to research will consume full merit points.

But if the system only produces basic data, and local Heize scientists conduct follow-up research and improve it, then only 20% of the merit points will be consumed.
To be continued...
