Super Card System

After coming back from the beach, Ian even considered announcing publicly that he wouldn’t wash his hands for the next month!

But he had no choice but to return because he realized that if he stayed any longer, he might end up dying from a nosebleed…

A young man full of vigor, being teased to the limit by three enchanting ladies, with no outlet to release his pent-up energy—it was hard to say if it was a blessing or torture.

However, if you asked Ian if he would want to experience it again, the answer would definitely be yes…

The hotel was booked by Ian, and all members of the Dragon Hunters Pirates would be staying there, making it convenient for communication. In his hotel room, after taking a long, cold shower to calm himself down, Ian lay on his bed and continued his quest to refresh the card shop.

Since discovering the Future Trunks card in the card fragment shop, Ian had decided that he had to get this card.

The card library was vast, with countless cards from various series. However, only six cards could be used in battle at a time, so he had to make some tough choices.

Ian’s total Nen power had always been a limiting factor in his strength. Although he had various basic skill boosts and card attribute enhancements, there was always a cap. Ian estimated that even if he could equip six 60-level red cards now, his base Nen attribute would only reach around 25,000. The higher the level, the harder it was to improve. Even though he could increase his Nen power through long-term Haki training, it required years of accumulation.

Therefore, when selecting cards, Ian favored those that significantly boosted attributes, such as Hiei’s Black Dragon Wave Devour or Senbonzakura’s Shikai and Bankai. These abilities could instantly amplify his attributes, allowing Ian to temporarily break through the limits of his Nen power.

While these short-term boosts weren’t sustainable, Ian’s abilities were all tied to his Nen power. The amount of Nen power he could output in an instant determined the power of his skills. So, even if he couldn’t endure prolonged battles, if he could defeat his opponent in one powerful strike, the duration didn’t matter. Once the enemy was eliminated, the battle would be over.

Ian could roughly guess the attributes and skills of the Future Trunks card. Transforming into a Super Saiyan was a given, likely providing a significant attribute boost, which was exactly what Ian needed.

Additionally, the card probably included skills like Flight and Energy Blast, which would be incredibly useful for Ian. In the future, he could potentially fly freely without relying on the Black Dragon Wave’s devour effect.

Another advantage is that the Future Trunks card is defined as a four-star card by the system, meaning it has a higher chance of appearing in the fragment shop and requires fewer fragments to complete. It’s not like a natural five-star red card that needs 180 fragments. However, the downside is that Ian would need to repeatedly collect many cards to advance it to a five-star red card.

As he continuously refreshed the fragment shop, Ian also planned his remaining card choices.

Since he intended to retire the duplicate Iori Yagami card, he needed to find another card to replace it. Additionally, Yasuo’s card could also be retired. Ian’s swordsmanship had reached the master level bottleneck, and advancing to the grandmaster level required special insight and experiences. Simply learning sword techniques from the cards was no longer as useful.

Thus, Ian needed to find three cards to fill all his card slots. The Future Trunks card was one of them, and he kept an eye on the fragments appearing in the shop for the other two.

During this refresh process, several card fragments caught Ian’s attention.

The first card was from the same series as his Misaka Mikoto card, but it was a five-star original red card: Kanzaki Kaori!

Ian had previously considered choosing Accelerator from the A Certain Magical Index series. The ability to control vectors was absolutely incredible. However, during the refresh process, Ian realized that the Accelerator card appeared very rarely.

In contrast, the Kanzaki Kaori card appeared more frequently because of Ian’s swordsmanship skills.

The second card Ian focused on was from the Fairy Tail series, also a five-star red card: the Fairy Queen Erza!

The third card was from the Bleach series, but it wasn’t a main character card like Orihime Inoue. Instead, it was the fourth Espada: Ulquiorra Cifer.

Ian was interested in this card because he speculated it might have a very powerful ability, namely the impressive “Lanza del Relámpago” from the original manga!

These three cards were all original five-star red cards, and their appearance frequency was slightly higher due to their alignment with Ian’s basic skills. Collecting them would be relatively easy. However, since these cards appeared in fragment form, Ian didn’t know their specific abilities. After some thought, he decided to collect and compare them once assembled, then choose two of them to fill his card slots along with the Trunks card. ṛα₦ỐʙĚⱾ

Although Ian had a plentiful supply of diamonds, he still needed time to refresh the shop. He also wanted to use the new sacrifice function on his Hiei card and Misaka Mikoto card, which required him to do a lot of ten-card draws to collect the one- to four-star cards from those series.

While Ian was diligently working to improve his strength in his room, a Navy warship entered the port of the Tesoro.

Former Admiral Aokiji was the first to disembark onto the Golden City.

Normally, the arrival of a Navy warship at the Tesoro wasn’t unusual. Many Navy personnel came and went from the Golden City, so at first, it didn’t attract much attention.

However, when Aokiji, along with Smoker, Kuina, Tashigi, and several other Navy officers, appeared in the city, it immediately caused a commotion.

The news of Aokiji’s resignation from his position as Navy Admiral and his subsequent departure from the Navy had already spread throughout the New World. Although ordinary people didn’t know the details, they were very eager to discuss the matter.

So, when people recognized Aokiji, they were extremely surprised. They hadn’t expected that Aokiji’s first stop after leaving the Navy would be here!

Tesoro’s subordinates quickly reported this to Tesoro.

Tesoro was also very surprised by Aokiji’s arrival. He had hosted many high-ranking Navy officials, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku had vacationed here, but that was all during peacetime.

Aokiji’s appearance here was quite sensitive timing. Given Aokiji’s abrupt resignation, the Navy was experiencing some internal turmoil, and even the World Government was dissatisfied, feeling embarrassed that a Navy Admiral had left. If Akainu, the new Fleet Admiral, or the World Government started to suspect that there was some secret connection between Aokiji and Tesoro, it wouldn’t be good for Tesoro.

Tesoro didn’t want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, but he still came out to personally welcome Aokiji.

Aokiji, of course, couldn’t explain his real intentions to Tesoro. Receiving Ian’s letter was not something he could discuss with an outsider like Tesoro, so he just said he was here to relax and asked Tesoro to arrange a few rooms for him and his group.

Tesoro, still feeling suspicious, arranged accommodations for Aokiji and his party. After Tesoro left, Smoker asked Aokiji if they should go find Ian.

However, Aokiji thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, “Tesoro is closely connected to the World Government. If we go to see Ian immediately, he might find out. It’s better to wait a bit.”

To be honest, Aokiji was feeling quite lost at the moment. Suddenly leaving the Navy after so many years, he didn’t even know what he should do next.

When he received Ian’s letter, he felt that Ian might be inviting him to join the Dragon Hunter Pirates. Normally, given his character, even if he left the Navy, he wouldn’t consider becoming a pirate. But because of his confusion about his own future, Aokiji inexplicably agreed to come to the agreed meeting place to see Ian.

Now that he was here, he remained cautious. He didn’t trust Tesoro, suspecting that Tesoro might have people monitoring his movements. Therefore, he didn’t plan to meet with Ian right away.

As for Tesoro, he indeed had similar suspicions. He was already feeling uneasy, thinking that it was too coincidental for Aokiji to appear in Golden City shortly after Ian’s arrival. He suspected there might be a connection between the two.

However, before he could instruct his subordinates to keep an eye on Aokiji and his group, one of his men, sweating profusely, brought him even worse news.

The Big Mom Pirates had arrived in Golden City as well! And it was none other than the Minister of Candy, Perospero, and one of the Sweet Commanders, Katakuri!

Upon hearing this, Tesoro broke into a cold sweat.

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition. Now, Golden City not only had Ian and the Dragon Hunter Pirates but also former Navy Admiral Aokiji and members of the Big Mom Pirates. Damn, none of these people were easy to deal with!

A bunch of powerful figures had inexplicably gathered together and appeared on his turf. Tesoro immediately felt an immense pressure.

If any conflict or misunderstanding arose between them, the situation could escalate dramatically…
