Chapter 3: Summoning the Mosasaurus
"Ah…"
"Pfft…"
"No—!"
One agonized scream after another rang out.
Ten seconds later, the Raptorex returned to his side and crouched down.
The beach had turned into a living hell—blood and mangled bodies scattered everywhere.
These worthless pirates were not even edible to the Raptorex. Too foul.
"Phew…"
The bloodshot veins in Jiang Qize's eyes slowly faded as he exhaled the breath trapped in his chest.
"With this system, I shouldn't live an ordinary life any longer. I'm done mooching off others."
He clenched his fists tightly, eyes filled with determination.
Then, he opened the summoning page of the system.
He still had one designated summon left.
The page began to shift rapidly before him.
[Carnivorous Dinosaurs] [Herbivorous Dinosaurs] [Marine Dinosaurs] [Flying Dinosaurs]
Four options appeared in front of him.
"If I want to grow stronger, I need to earn Berries. And to earn Berries quickly… I'll need power—a force of my own. But first, I have to get off this island."
He pondered his situation carefully.
When his gaze fell upon the pirate ship nearby, he immediately knew what to choose.
[Marine Dinosaurs]
[Mosasaurus]: 10,000,000 Berries
[Pliosaurus]: 10,000,000 Berries
[Tylosaurus]: 10,000,000 Berries
[Plesiosaurus]: 10,000,000 Berries
[Nothosaurus]: 10,000,000 Berries
[Ichthyosaurus]: 10,000,000 Berries
"..."
He stared at these prehistoric overlords of the oceans, studying their descriptions carefully.
After some time, he made his decision—Mosasaurus.
The Mosasaurus could grow up to twenty-one meters long and weigh more than thirty tons. It was the apex predator of the Mesozoic seas—even the ancient Plesiosaurs were its prey.
Compared to the Sea Kings of this world, twenty-one meters might be small, but the system offered a reinforcement function, including body size enhancement.
Of course, that required money.
"You'll do."
Jiang Qize took a deep breath and chose to summon.
Buzz!!
A colossal, terrifying figure appeared on the sandy shore, causing the ground to tremble faintly.
Its gray-scaled hide gleamed dully under the sunlight, its head resembling a crocodile's, with a massive jaw nearly three meters long lined with densely packed five-centimeter fangs that could make anyone's blood run cold.
A pair of golden, vertical pupils the size of basketballs stared straight at him.
[Name]: Mosasaurus
[Type]: Marine Predator
[Abilities]:
• Super Hearing – Can detect sounds within ten kilometers underwater
• Super Smell – Can sense the scent of blood within ten kilometers underwater
• Death Roll – Once bitten, the prey either dies or is crippled
• Godspeed – Possesses extraordinary speed in water
[Power Level]: Equivalent to a Marine Headquarters Lieutenant Commander (combat strength in water equivalent to a Marine Headquarters Commander)
[Ding! Gained one-tenth of Mosasaurus's attributes]
As the notification sounded, power surged through his body. His strength increased rapidly, his skin tightened and toughened, his muscles bulged and defined evenly—every inch brimming with raw power.
Feeling the might coursing through him, Jiang Qize allowed a faint smile to curl across his lips.
[Host]: Jiang Qize
[Age]: 18
[Rank]: Marine Headquarters Ensign
[Berries]: 0
[Functions]: Summon / Reinforce / Combine
"At last, I finally have the strength to walk this world."
A Headquarters Ensign—so long as he didn't recklessly set foot on the Grand Line, he would be fine. The Four Seas were still relatively safe.
"Time to go!"
"Roar~!"
"Roar~!"
The Raptorex and the Mosasaurus roared together, as if answering his call.
...
Out on the open sea, a shabby twenty-meter-long wooden ship cut through the waves at remarkable speed.
Jiang Qize stood at the bow, staring out over the endless blue. His stomach suddenly let out a loud growl.
He scratched his cheek awkwardly. He'd left the deserted island too hastily—hadn't even grabbed any food. And there wasn't a scrap of it on this old ship. It had already been a full day.
"If I don't find a village or town soon, I'll probably be the first transmigrator to starve to death in the world of One Piece."
He muttered with a wry smile.
"Roar~!"
Suddenly, the Raptorex behind him stood up and let out a cry.
Jiang Qize turned at the sound—and his eyes instantly lit up.
