**Chapter 44: Maximum Value**
On his return journey, Fang Bo received a notification that his mission was complete.
The Onmyoji lady had once told him that hidden missions were extremely rare, but for Fang Bo, it didn’t seem so uncommon.
If he had more time, there were still many places he could explore.
Every member of the Straw Hat crew likely had hidden missions waiting to be triggered, and there were probably multiple missions related to Luffy and Robin alone.
However, the tight time frame wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. The incident with Cyborg Gary had served as a wake-up call—it was best not to meddle in higher-level matters until his strength was sufficient.
A single mistake along the way could lead to an outcome he wouldn’t be able to bear.
[Hidden Mission: Sanji’s Escape (Completed)]
[Calculating results… Generating rewards…]
[Based on your contribution, you may choose three of the following rewards:]
[Option 1: 2 Attribute Points]
[Option 2: Germa Tech Warship]
[Option 3: Enhanced Gene-Mod Soldier]
[Option 4: 10 Cyborg Soldiers]
[Option 5: Pirate World Admission Ticket (Rare)]
The mission had gone quite well—there had been no pursuit, and Fang Bo had taken Gary out during their first encounter.
Because of this, he was awarded three rewards, which helped make up for the Perfect Restoration Potion he had used.
Following his usual principle of prioritizing attribute points, he immediately chose the 2 attribute points, no matter how small they seemed.
After allocating them, Fang Bo’s unboosted Spirit attribute reached the maximum value of 19, allowing him to focus on improving other aspects of his abilities.
As for the second option, he dismissed the warship—it was identical to the one he was already aboard, with only minor upgrades that didn’t seem essential at this point.
The Enhanced Gene-Mod Soldier was a storyline character usable only in this world, with incredible potential and 100% loyalty. Unfortunately, it couldn’t follow him out of the pirate world.
Still, it wasn’t without value. On the contrary, the Gene-Mod Soldier could help him complete more missions.
In terms of attributes, the enhanced soldier wasn’t as powerful as Gary but was likely a step above Sam and Butchi in combat power.
Other than that, the Gene-Mod Soldiers shared a similar template: high attack and high speed, with both stats just above 20.
Other Reincarnators would probably be thrilled to acquire this “Jack,” but Fang Bo wasn’t too impressed. For him, the soldier’s loyalty was more valuable than its combat strength—loyalty was something money couldn’t buy.
The 10 Cyborg Soldiers were far inferior in attributes, on par with those Reiju had given him.
After the battle, Fang Bo did a headcount and realized he had lost half of those soldiers. Though strong in combat, their survival skills were even worse than ordinary pirates.
The root cause was their inability to feel fear.
Knowing they’d just be cannon fodder, Fang Bo passed on them and shifted his attention to the final option: the Pirate World Admission Ticket.
Its function was simple—it allowed the next storyline world to be forcibly bound to the pirate world, making it easier for Reincarnators to continue exploring unfinished quests.
[TN : MC choose option 1, 3, 5]
“Not bad at all,” Fang Bo said, satisfied as he stored the items away.
There was still much to explore in the pirate world, and Fang Bo had uncovered quite a few secrets that might be useful later on.
But that would have to wait. Certain tasks required a certain level of strength to accomplish.
**Spirit: 25 (+6)**
His Spirit attribute had reached 25 points, making his fully powered abilities incredibly potent. However, from now on, he wouldn’t be able to raise it further.
Standing at the ship’s railing, Fang Bo gazed into the distance, contemplating his next attribute allocation strategy.
For survival, the best course of action would be to invest in Constitution, which would pair well with his legendary traits for significant boosts.
However, throughout all the dangers he had faced, the attribute that had truly saved him was not Constitution but Perception—an often-overlooked attribute.
Being able to sense danger in advance, read an opponent’s moves, and enhance long-range shooting accuracy were all critical. Many gunners favored a combination of high Agility and Perception.
Ryuno had told him that learning Onmyoji spells was heavily reliant on Perception. To form a contract with a Shikigami, a high Perception attribute was essential.
Jango’s hypnosis technique also required keen Perception. Fang Bo was already looking forward to the day when he could control numerous enemies with a single move.
He quickly made up his mind: from now on, his focus would be on raising Perception. Once it reached 19 points, he’d then work on improving Constitution and other attributes.
….….
“Phew.”
Ryuno sighed and sat down on the ground, glancing toward the wreckage of a pirate ship.
Over the past few days, she had recklessly spent her funds, recruiting more than 300 diverse pirates and assembling a fleet of seven ships.
Once Jason and his group returned, they would be ready to set off and challenge the Pirate Admiral.
However, something unexpected had happened. While out on her own, the Onmyoji lady had been ambushed by Baroque Works assassins.
Only through the exceptional efforts of her Shikigami had she barely managed to survive, holding on until her companions came to her rescue.
The cost was the destruction of one of their ships.
At first, she hadn’t thought much of it. But now, she realized the consecutive hidden missions might be far more troublesome than she had imagined.
When that guy returned, she would have to remind him to stay on guard. Direct confrontations were one thing, but the real danger lay in being attacked while alone.
Even a moment of carelessness could result in a crippling blow from the enemy.
Forcing herself to stand, Ryuno checked how many Story Points she had left.
Cross-dimensional summoning requires payment, which is why summoners are considered a class that heavily relies on resources. A typical lone adventurer simply can’t afford it.
To maintain their combat power, they must always set aside “funds” for summoning. If they can’t open the summoning channels, it would be quite embarrassing.
The amount of Story Points consumed depends heavily on the summoned creature’s power level, or on the summoner’s learned summoning skills.
[Name: Shikigami Summon (Ubume)
Level: 2
Rank: C
Effect: Consumes 60 Story Points to summon SR Shikigami Ubume for 60 minutes, cooldown time: 2 hours.]
[Requirements: Perception 14, Spirit 8
Learning Requirements: Spirit 15
Origin: Onmyoji]
[*Skill Evaluation:* A Shikigami that adores infants, with extraordinary swordsmanship and incredible speed.]
In the Reincarnation Space’s evaluation system, the powerful Ubume is only ranked as a C-level summon. Even so, opening the dimensional channel each time costs 60 Story Points.
Since arriving in the pirate world, the Onmyoji lady had summoned Ubume four times, meaning she had already spent a total of 240 Story Points.
That’s almost equivalent to the rewards from completing a major storyline quest.
Because of this, the Onmyoji lady was eager to complete her Fate Quest—only by making Ubume her follower would she have enough resources to seek out other summons.
As for the other Shikigami, Akasha, it was evaluated as a D-level summon, not valuable enough to occupy a follower slot.
In the Onmyoji lady’s mind, her summons needed to be at least on the same level as Ubume.
After returning to her cabin and fully recovering her strength, the main force of the Black Cat Crew finally returned.
As they arrived at the docks, Fang Bo smiled and waved to the bustling crew. “Very good, these people should be enough for us.”
Curious, Ryuno asked, “I just want to know, how exactly do we trigger hidden missions?”
Fang Bo already had a good understanding of this.
Aside from digging into hidden plot details, there’s one surefire way to trigger hidden missions—changing the fate of important storyline characters.
Take Captain Kuro, for example. Under normal circumstances, he would spend the next three years on that small island until he was ultimately defeated by Luffy and the Straw Hat crew.
If you change his fate, you can trigger hidden mission mechanics. Fang Bo had already begun to grasp this rule.
Seeing the Onmyoji lady’s curiosity, Fang Bo decided to no longer keep her in the dark. “Of course, we’re going to bring back our Captain Kuro. Without him, there’s no way we can defeat the Pirate Admiral.”
“Oh.” Ryuno nodded, seemingly deep in thought.
After a quick headcount, Fang Bo immediately announced their departure for Syrup Village in the East Blue.
This small village was Usopp’s hometown, and also the birthplace of the Going Merry.
Miss Kaya, a frail young woman with golden hair and fair skin, was the daughter of a wealthy family. She was kind-hearted and delicate, evoking feelings of pity.
Her butler, Klahadore, was actually Captain Kuro in disguise. Posing as a shipwreck survivor, he collapsed at the door of Kaya’s home, where her father took him in.
Tired of the pirate life, Kuro planned to conspire with his former crew to kill Kaya and seize her fortune. However, in the end, he was defeated by the main cast.
The primary goal of going to Syrup Village was to persuade the former captain to return.
Kuro had grown weary of piracy because he saw no future in becoming the ruler of the East Blue.
But if he saw the scale of the Black Cat Pirates now, he would surely be willing to return to the sea. The wealth of Kaya’s family likely didn’t compare to the Black Cat Crew’s treasure.
Anyone with common sense would know which choice to make.
As they approached Syrup Village, Fang Bo ordered the crew to wait at a distance, taking only Jango and Ryuno with him.
Too many people might alert the village, and Fang Bo didn’t want any complications at this stage.
There wasn’t much time left for Main Quest Two. Before it ended, he had to defeat the Pirate Admiral to claim a massive bounty.
Each main quest had to be taken seriously to improve his completion rating and earn more attribute points.
Walking along the village path, Fang Bo followed the fence toward the mansion on the hill.
The peaceful atmosphere seemed to wash away the tension from the recent battles, and even Fang Bo couldn’t help but smile slightly.
“Hahaha, do you know what happened next?”
A boisterous laugh echoed through the air. The man with the slingshot in hand was none other than Captain Usopp.
