As Page One expressed his desire to train, the team leader gestured towards the pirates who were engrossed in their comic books and explained, "Didn't I mention it earlier? After a few days of reading the comics, you'll comprehend everything."
"Um, Captain, I'm not interested in reading comics. I just want to focus on training," Page One replied, feeling disheartened.
Page One couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with the team leader. He had clearly stated his intentions to practice, yet the team leader kept insisting on reading comics.
The team leader was willing to assist new recruits like Page One, but he found it tedious to explain. Hence, he said, "It's a tradition for us Whitebeard Pirates to read comics before training. If you want to learn our methods, you'll have to read the comics first. Do you understand?"
"I see. Alright then," Page One replied in his usual introverted and submissive manner, as long as he wasn't in combat.
The team leader instructed Page one to read comics before practicing, as it was a tradition in the Whitebeard Pirates. Page one complied and went to the center of the practice site to retrieve the comics.
He noticed that there were three comics on the top floor that were different from the ones on the lower bookshelves.
These three comics were said to contain powerful abilities, but none of the pirates had gained them in the past two months. Despite this, Page one went straight for the top comic, which was the most powerful of the three.
The team leader was surprised but did not bother to stop him, thinking that Page one would eventually come across the lower bookshelves anyway. However, Page one's actions drew attention from others, as the top floor was the most prominent location of the practice site. Many pirates had attempted to get the abilities from the top three comics before, but no one had succeeded.
"Hey, look! Someone is going to attempt those three ultimate manga again."
"Huh? Isn't that one of the Tobiroppo from the Beast Pirates?"
"Oh, it is! I heard they were captured by our patrol team. I didn't expect them to join our Whitebeard Pirates."
"He's so arrogant, wanting to challenge the Ultimate Comic as soon as he arrives! Does he really want to step on our toes?"
"Hey, don't worry! Who have you seen successfully complete the challenge? It's the same for him. After reading it, he'll begrudgingly accept reality and choose one of the comics on the lower shelves."
"Who will remind him that it's not worth his time?"
"I'll remind him! Let's watch the excitement, shall we?"
**...…..
Amidst the disapproval of many people, Page one opened the "Fairy Tail Roar of the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic" in his hands!
The protagonist of "Fairy Tail Roar of the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic" is Gajeel Redfox.
Gajeel was raised by Metalicana, The Iron Dragon and possesses the ability to manipulate iron.
Having a strong body at a young age made the teenager extremely rebellious and he loved the feeling of destruction!
"This Gajeel!" Page one exclaimed.
From the very beginning, when he saw what happened to Gajeel as a child, Page one was deeply moved!
It was as if he wasn't looking at Gajeel, but himself.
Page one is only 18 years old, but he's been a powerful pirate who's been famous on the seas for several years.
As a teenager, he and his sister Uerti accidentally obtained two Devil Fruits. After eating them, they gained tremendous power.
Naturally, the two of them, who were in their rebellious phase, became synonymous with delinquents.
Page one found a sense of identity in Gajeel's character.
This Gajeel is clearly the same type of person as Page one!
Continue reading the manga~
Gajeel, who possessed the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic, was valued by the leader of the Phantom Lord and was invited to join.
Afterward, Gajeel became one of the guild's S-Class Mage!
He conquered cities and destroyed many dark guilds.
How similar this was to Page one, who had just joined the Beast Pirates!
Upon joining the Beast Pirates, Page one went on a rampage, attacking other pirates and forcing them to either surrender and join the Beast Pirates or be destroyed. As he read through the "Fairy Tail Roar of the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic" comic, Page one couldn't help but see similarities between himself and the protagonist Gajeel. He became completely absorbed in the comic and continued to flip through the pages, following Gajeel's experiences.
As he read about Gajeel's defeat and subsequent joining of Fairy Tail during a battle between the Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail guilds, Page one began to draw parallels between Gajeel's story and his own. Just like Gajeel, he had fought against the Whitebeard Pirates and was caught, ultimately becoming a member of the Whitebeard Pirates himself.
As Page one continued reading, he witnessed Gajeel's transformation as he joined Fairy Tail and learned the importance of having allies in battle. Through countless battles, Gajeel finally became a hero who saved the world, and Page one couldn't help but feel inspired.
However, despite Gajeel's redemption in the comics, Page one couldn't shake off the uncertainty he felt about his own future. He was confused about what lay ahead for him.
"The dragon is the ultimate predator in the food chain, an invincible existence. The dragon slayer must also be a dragon."
Suddenly, these words appeared in Page one's mind like magic.
"This is..."
Page one was filled with surprise and shock, and after a moment, he realized something.
"This is the same as the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic!"
The nearby squad leader was taken aback and looked at Page one with suspicion. "Yes, the main character in this comic, Gajeel, possesses the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic. What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Page one's outburst startled his crewmates.
"Whoa, calm down, newbie! Did you think you could learn your ability from the comics?" one of them teased.
"Yeah, you're just a greenhorn who's never seen the world of magic," another added.
"Looks like our captain's comics really got to him," a third pirate chuckled.
The crew laughed at Page one's expense, but he was undeterred. He pointed to his head and said to the team leader, "Team leader, the words for Iron Dragon Slayer Magic just appeared in my mind! Look!"
Page one extended his right arm, which suddenly transformed into a powerful, iron-clad limb charged with magical energy.
The team leader's face turned pale with shock. Was this newcomer really mastering the abilities from the legendary comics on his first day?
The other pirates who had been laughing at Page one before were now stunned into silence. They had all thought they were special for gaining incredible abilities from the captain's comics, but seeing Page one's transformation, they realized they were just beginners.
It wasn't their own strength that made them powerful—it was the incredible abilities they had received from Captain Majima's comics. With equal access to these comics, anyone could become a formidable force.
Page one had clearly been one of those talented individuals, and his crewmates now realized they needed to step up their own training.
"Let's get serious about our training! We can't let ourselves fall behind!" one pirate exclaimed.
"Even if we can't learn new abilities, we can still master the ones we have and become stronger," another added.
"We have to honor the captain's trust in us by becoming the best we can be," a third pirate said.
Page one's sudden mastery of his new ability had been a wake-up call for the crew. They now knew they couldn't rest on their laurels if they wanted to keep up with their talented new crewmate.
Meanwhile~
Majima received a notification from the system.
[Ding! Page one has gained the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic by reading your manga "Fairy Tail Roar of the Iron Dragon"! Host also gains the magic simultaneously!]
[Ding! Host receives 18,000 energy points!]
Huh?
This kid is lucky!
With his Ancient Zoan ability and the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic combined, his physical abilities will become incredibly powerful!
Wait a minute!
Majima suddenly thought of something and asked, "System, have the side effects of the Dragon Slayer Magic been eliminated?"
[No, while Page one comprehends the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic, he will also be affected by the side effects of the Dragon Slayer Magic.]
The system replied.
Oh...
Majima didn't know whether to congratulate Page one or feel sorry for him because the side effects of the Dragon Slayer Magic include severe motion sickness.
In this world of pirates, sailing on boats is common.
It can be imagined that whenever Page one goes out to sea in the future, as long as the boat is sailing, he will probably be holding onto the railing and throwing up nonstop.
Majima found the image amusing and burst out laughing. He then shouted, "Damn it! Hold on a minute! System, I also gained this Dragon Slayer Magic simultaneously, won't I also get motion sickness during transportation?"
[Host can rest assured that the system has automatically eliminated the side effects of the ability acquired by the Host, and the Host will not get motion sickness during transportation.]
Great!
The system is really reliable!
When the Devil Fruit was awarded in the previous lottery, the side effects were also eliminated.
Now that Majima has obtained the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic, the side effects have also been eliminated.
It seems that the system can always be trusted!
The system notified Majima that his energy points had surpassed 10 million and asked if he wanted to initiate a ten consecutive crown draw.
Majima checked his properties interface and confirmed that he had indeed reached the 10 million mark due to the 18,000 mysterious energy points he received from Page one. He then instructed the system to initiate the ten consecutive crown draw.
[Understood, starting ten consecutive crown draws. Please wait a moment, Host.]
The system quickly started the ten consecutive crown draws. Majima eagerly watched as the lottery screen appeared before his eyes.
