[ πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Congratulations [Marco]! You have obtained the opportunity for 'Perfect Assimilation of the Akuma no Mi x1'! A tool that will allow you to perfectly control the abilities of your fruit and develop it independently. ]

[ πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Congratulations [Marco]! You have obtained the opportunity for 'Skill Development x1'! A unique opportunity where the system will help the host develop skills. ]

[ ‘‘[Marco], unleash your unlimited potential!! Your success is just one battle away! ]

[ Forget the limits! With this system, battle is your path to glory. The more you fight, the more power you will unlock. ]

[ The system will accompany you every step of the way! It will provide unwavering support to strengthen your body and skills to unimaginable levels. ]

[ What are you waiting for? Start your battle now! ]

'Wait a moment, system. Doesn't this sound a bit like... a pyramid scheme?' Marco expressed, with distrust.

He even imagined the system as the Old Man from "Monopoly" with his suit and black hat, extending his hand while stroking his white mustache and whispering in your ear: "Don't worry, warrior. Rest, catch your breath, and let me handle the rest."

The more he imagined it, the more distrustful he became. "System, don't I need to collect emotional value? Devil Fruits? Search for treasures around the world? Or complete tasks or something similar?" Marco asked.

[ No need! ]

Putting his hand to his forehead, Marco felt a mix of astonishment and relief. This system was completely different from anything he had seen before. It was not based on the tedious routines so common in other systems.

Followed by a hint of distrust, Marco wondered, 'Was it really possible that this system was as effective as it claimed?'

Despite all the uncertainty, Marco couldn't help but smile. While the reliability of the system was questionable, one thing was certain: it wouldn't demand much from him. In fact, it seemed the system would do all the work for him!

With a mix of excitement and expectation, Marco decided to take the first step. "First, let's see if this system is as reliable as it claims to be," he thought. And without further ado, he gave an order to the system: "System, use 'Complete Elimination of Side Effects'!"

[ Ding! ]

[ Affirmative, using 'Complete Elimination of Side Effects'. ]

[ Completely eliminating side effects in the host's body... 0%... 20%... 66%... 100%. ]

[ πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Congratulations, [Marco], the curse of the sea has been removed. ]

In the instant the curse of the sea was eliminated from Marco's body...

Raaa! Raaa! Raaa!

The sea near the island, previously calm and serene, now writhed and roared like a beast. The waves, once gentle, had turned into roaring monsters rising towards the gray sky, only to crash thunderously against the sandy shore.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The wind howled like a wolf, whipping the waves with relentless fury. The horizon had vanished, erased by a curtain of torrential rain.

*Boom!**Boom!*Boom!

In the sky, the clouds swelled like black balloons, pregnant with a storm. Lightning snaked across the sky, tearing the darkness with blinding flashes. Thunder roared like an enraged lion, shaking the earth with its thunderous roar.

The sea and sky had joined in an epic battle, a dance of destruction and fury without precedent. Nature had rebelled, unleashing its wrath upon the world as if punishing something unacceptable.

But as soon as all this chaos appeared, in an instant, the storm calmed. The waves flattened, the sky cleared, and the sun shone once again over the sea, now calm and serene.

"..."

A silence took hold of the place, a quiet so deep it became palpable, almost tangible, bringing solitude and oppression to those who witnessed all the fury of the world.

….

Back to Marco….

He currently had a look of surprise, staring at the sky. Obviously, he had witnessed everything that happened, as this happened thanks to him. The system told him he wouldn't have to worry about any of this, since if it was capable of removing the curse of the sea, it was also capable of hiding it from the world.

But the strange thing about all this was that he didn't feel any change in his body, nothing at all, despite the scene unfolding in front of him.

Fsh!

Wanting to check if he could enter the water, Marco immediately transformed his arms into huge blue and yellow wings and flew to land on the coast.

Tmp

"Let's see..." Once on the coast, he approached the sea and extended his hand, submerging it in the water.

When his right hand was completely submerged in the sea, he didn't feel any discomfort, he could only feel the cold water and the smell of salt!

"Wow... let's see now... Splash!" Excited, Marco jumped into the sea and dived with a splash.

He was extremely happy! He couldn't imagine not being able to swim or being incapacitated by someone with Kairoseki. And with that happiness, Marco kept swimming...

…

Whoosh!

Emerging from the water in a smooth and fluid movement, Marco came out of the sea with his clothes wet and, using a low-temperature blue flame, dried his clothes.

"Oops..." Forgetting the most important thing, Marco approached the sea again and looked at his reflection.

A face with a sharp jaw, a light beard, a prominent chin, and high cheekbones. His yellow hair styled in a spiky manner, with bangs to the right side. Thin, arched eyebrows and dark-colored eyes.

With a height of over 6.6 feet, wearing a light blue unbuttoned shirt, exposing his Whitebeard Pirates tattoo, with the sleeves rolled up, and black pants up to the calf. Wearing simple black flip-flops.

Marco's appearance may not be the best, but what makes him attractive in the series is his calming personality and voice.

"Argh..." While admiring his reflection, a sharp pain in his heart attacked him, making him aware that this was the wound left by Blackbeard, using his devil fruit.

Remembering the system's gifts, he immediately ordered, "System, use 'Perfect Recovery of Injuries'!"

['Perfect Recovery of Injuries' in progress...!]

[0%... 50%... 99%... 100%, πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Congratulations, [Marco], on your recovery!]

"Zzmmm~!" As soon as the system's sound fell, he closed his eyes and a wave of energy ran through his veins and a sensation of warmth flooded him.

"Mmh..." It was as if his body had been submerged in a pool of warm water and the heat filtered into every fiber of his being.

The pain in his heart, which bothered him constantly, began to diminish and was replaced by a comforting numbness. His muscles relaxed, his bones renewed, and his organs slowly regenerated.

The heat intensified, becoming almost annoying for Marco. As the minutes passed, the heat began to decrease, leaving behind a sensation of renewed vitality.

Opening his eyes and observing his changes, running his hands over his skin, marveling at his radiant skin. Clenching his fist with impressive new strength.

He felt better than ever in his life: stronger, faster, and more resilient.

Not stopping there, he told the system, "System, also use 'Perfect Assimilation of the Akuma no Mi'!"

['Perfect Assimilation of the Akuma no Mi' in progress...!]

[0%... 33%... 77%... 99%... 100% πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ Congratulations [Marco] on mastering the abilities of your Akuma no Mi!]

"Zmmm~!" After the system's beep, another wave of energy flooded him, but this time it was different.

His mind and body fused into a unique and harmonious entity. The boundaries between his consciousness and the essence of the devil fruit dissolved, creating a very deep level of connection. It was as if his own being had been perfectly molded to possess the power of the fruit.

His abilities now flowed through him with precision and effortlessness, able to manipulate the power of his Akuma no Mi with an intuitive delicacy, as if he were the Phoenix himself. The limitations of his fruit were erased, replaced by an unlimited potential that knew no boundaries.

"This is something!" Impressed, now he could say that no one had more control over their fruit than him, perhaps matching those with their awakened Akuma no Mi.

"Sigh... First, let's leave this uninhabited island!" Not wanting to be on this island any longer, and wanting to find strong opponents to test his new strength, he decided to leave.

Just as he was about to spread his wings, his Haki detected a very strong and very familiar presence entering his Observation radius. Focusing his gaze to the west of his position, he saw a scene he had seen many times when he sailed with Whitebeard.

"Mmm?.....!!!"

Emerging from the depths of the sea, with the sun at his back, a man riding a bicycle, freezing the sea as he passed, demonstrating absolute control over his power.

….
